Cohort 21 - Session 2 - 10-1-2025

All right, welcome to day 2. I apologize for not getting yesterday's recording out. I'm sure that would have helped you, Mike, a little bit to go back and, I don't know, look at something from yesterday. But I just, I got so busy, and by the time I was done, I was like, you know what, it's 7 o'clock, I'm just gonna do it tomorrow. Um, so I just kind of cranked. You know what's funny is yesterday after this, I, I had to train Dean Graciosi's team on Replit. Right. And so I, anyway, so I had lots of hours of talking yesterday. I was, I was happy to just stop talking by the end of the day.

Um, I'm still glad you got your voice.

I've got my voice here. Yeah, that's good. After 4 more hours today, we'll see how I'm doing. Uh, the rest of today isn't quite as intense as, uh, as this was, but, um, anyway, but I love it. I really like doing this, right? I used to, I, I was doing this in, I'm gonna say like June or so, I was doing an 8 to noon session and a 1 to 5 session.

Wow.

Like Tuesday, when— and I was doing it, by the way, at that time I was doing 3 days, 4 hours a day. So I'd go Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. It was a 12-hour course, and I adjusted, I adjusted it down. So obviously I can't share quite as much as I did in 12 hours, um, But I found just in kind of playing with it, I've tried 12 hours, I tried 10 hours, I tried 9 hours, and I really found that this, this amount right here, it's hard for you guys to absorb even what I share even in 8 hours, right? Imagine doing 50% more. Anyway, so, so I just kind of found a good balance and we're able to get through everything we need to in these, in these 8 hours. So, so anyway, All right, so Mike had a question obviously about some APIs. We will go over that. Did anybody else run into anything, or is there just anything that's like on your mind from yesterday? We're like, man, this is so cool, or I hated this, or we didn't get to talk about this, or I was thinking about it all night. Any comments like that from the gallery?

Well, I had questions, but more specific to the project that I was working on. So, got it.

Yeah, awesome. Well, we'll, uh, you know, hopefully you got into the Facebook group. I think I saw your name, Lauren. Um, But yeah, that, that's a good place to just jump in and say, hey, I'm working on this new thing, I'm brand new, whatever. And people will help you. If it's not me, there are other people in there that will just jump in and, you know, be eager to guide you down the path they've been down.

So I think I've got one question for you, Jon. Like when on the landing page, looking at a picture, for instance, what it populated, like if I wanted to get detailed and not use AI to scrub something and pull in, can I like, rather than like, I tried to just switch an image out, it took a hot second to do that. So hey, this costs like 70 cents to do that. Now that, I mean, that doesn't matter, it's irrelevant. But like if I wanted to get like specific with a picture, you know, showing like an athlete like cutting on turf, like my little company here is like spats for cleats with all the turf and like making it like high for like high schools, colleges and like being able to brand, put stuff on it, or like awards and stuff. So just like a, uh, but I, I couldn't like to get detailed into something specific, like I want this specific thing or something I've created to drop in. Like, is that an easy thing to do? I mean, I, I assume it is. It's just that like, is that the best use of time, or can we do it and have it do exactly what we're looking for?

Yeah, so you're talking about being able to one, create the image that exactly in the way you want, And yeah, to just drop it in, plug and play, and to bring that image in. Yeah. So we will be doing that exact thing today. Images and videos are one of the primary things— or not primary, but it's a main topic that we'll talk about today. And we'll show you how to pull things into Replit and how to avoid some problems with that a lot of people run into because of how they structure things, right? I'm really excited to do database-driven content, right? That's a really fun topic. And, and it's it's a little bit more advanced. Yesterday you guys would be like, I don't know what's going on, right? But today, now that you've had just a day to kind of absorb things, I think you'll be able to get this concept pretty easily. But, but good. All right. So APIs, images, that's what we're focusing on. Laura, did you have something?

Yeah, I had one more general question that he kind of made me think of. So let's say you have a business plan and we did all that yesterday and we kind of went back and forth and then you've got the projects semi kind of started and then you realize, gee, some of this stuff is not where I want the direction to go. Do you take that? Do you go back to ChatGPT and send ChatGPT that link and say, you know, ask me some more questions about, you know, kind of the direction that, you know, kind of like if I have an idea that I want to take it through, do I go back, you know, kind of talk through that process?

I love that question, Laura. I think it's so good. And One of the reasons why it's good is because so many people, and this is probably a general life lesson, so many people focus too much on this concept of, or they don't understand the concept of sunk costs, right? And so they'll say, oh, I've already started, I've already put 4 hours into this, I don't want to start over, right? And it's not quite right, but I'm just going to try to push through and fix it, even though you might be messing around with a hot piece of garbage, right? And you need to just throw it away and just say, you know what, I know what I'm doing now. I can zip through this. I already have a good place to start from. So yeah, I think it's really smart to say, hey, you know what, ChatGPT, I don't think we quite got it. Here's what you did and here's why I don't like it. Can we try to better put this plan? Let's try just a second or V3 or V7 or V11 on this plan and see if we can get it right. Okay, hey, that feels really good. Now let's drop it back into Replit. Hey, why don't you start over Replit and let's just do this.. And so yeah, that might cost you an extra $6 in credits or whatever, but it's, it saves you, it actually in the long run will save you $600 in credits, right? Because you're not trying to just constantly rip this thing apart and have everything try to, to mold the way you want it to go. So don't be afraid to start something over, kind of like I did yesterday in, in, in my demo, right? I, I did this kind of okay version and then I said, all right, let's go into ChatGPT, let's make a plan. And then I started a whole new project even though I already had you know, a working dashboard, a working, you know, it kind of looked like it could do the job. It was gonna be faster for me to do it all the way right, right? Where it understands all of the context. Okay.

But when you took it, let's say you took it from ChatGPT and then you took it into SuperGrok and then you, I think that's what it's called, right? And then you went back, Grok, and then you went back to ChatGPT and then you took it to the Replit. And now that it's in Replit, you've made some, adjustments and kind of talk back and forth and it's kind of got that, you know, kind of project. And so you take, do you take that link of that project back to ChatGPT and then go back to Super Grok and then go back to ChatGPT and then go back to Replit? Is that kind of like—

you, I mean, you would only, you would only do that if you feel like you need to do that, right? I, what I've tried to show there is is a tool, a thought process, a process that you can choose to use or not use, right? When I go from one LLM, right, like ChatGPT, over to another one like Grok, or maybe to Claude, or maybe to Perplexity, or maybe to any of these different, you know, systems, it's simply to just get another opinion, right? Like maybe I just haven't refined the idea all the way and I just want someone else to look at it from a different angle. And it really is ChatGPT and Grok are very— I bet they're 40% different, a lot. The way that they think, the way that they operate, the way that they process, the way that they reason is all completely different. That's because of— we'll talk about this a lot more today— the prompt behind the technology, behind the interface. Replit actually has a prompt behind it that tells it how to use the AI models that are behind it. Replit doesn't actually have its own AI models, right? It's using Anthropic or Claude, right? It's you, and you can also switch Replit to use ChatGPT. So it's using other models, but then on top of the model, right, you've got this— think of the model or the LLM as the brain, okay? The brain sits there, it's got all the data, and it's capable of what it's capable of, and that actually doesn't change unless the model is updated or there's a new model, right? You swap out the brain for a new one, okay? Then you have interfaces. ChatGPT is an interface. Replit is an interface. The Groq, you know, front end is an interface. And it has these, and it has these instructions on here's how you want to work with the user. Here's what you shouldn't do. Here's what you should try to work towards. You should be very action-oriented. You should always suggest this. You know, sometimes it's a little too much like, hey, make the user feel good about themselves, you know. Some of the— and they've had to tweak those things. They've had to really— so, so there's a lot more when you're putting together a fully functioning AI system than just saying, hey, here's the information. Okay, so let's take Ryan and Tyson as an example to bring it over to something they might think is a cool idea, right? You saw me start to build this kind of Bob yesterday, right? This advisor. Well, maybe you guys want to do that and you want to use some of your proprietary data, and you can kind of hide all that and obfuscate it behind your little thing, and then people could come and subscribe to it, or you can make free tool on your website. Okay, whatever it is, you're going to have to choose a few things. One, well, which base model am I going to use? Am I going to do the API, the Groq API? Am I going to use the Claude API? Am I going to use the OpenAI API? Like, what am I going to use, right? What model do I want underneath it? Then you're going to have to build a nice prompt, and that prompt is actually your IP. That's the really awesome IP. And your prompt might be 2 pages long, by the way, or 5 pages long, right? And it will say, okay, here is exactly the kind of feeling I want people to get when they interact with Boss, right? You're talking to the Boss, right? Here's how you're going to feel when you interact with us. Okay. And so I'm going to teach you guys how to do that today, how to build those things today. Prompting and building these structures is really, really awesome. So, Laura, I know I kind of went off a little bit on a tangent, but I wanted to kind of answer that more completely and It's a great segue into some of what we're going to talk about today. In fact, we're going to dive into it right now. It's really cool to learn how these AIs work and then you just have it available as an option. Do I need Grok's opinion on this? Maybe, maybe not. I don't always need it. But can you take that link from Replit over into ChatGPT and say, hey, look what we've built, explore the whole thing, and can you see why this isn't exactly what I'm looking for? Oh yeah, I can see this. We should probably make this adjustment, this adjustment, this adjustment. Et cetera, et cetera.

Right?

Okay. So, but yeah, ChatGPT is capable of looking at a link. So is Replit capable of looking at a link and examining everything. So, alright, guys, we're gonna do, we're gonna do this prompt thing. I'm trying to think if I wanna do that first or if I wanna do advanced agents. Let's just, because we're on the topic, we'll just dive in. We'll just dive into this prompt thing. I think it's pretty cool. How to make your own custom GPT. Anybody here ever made their own custom GPT? Anybody? No. Okay. I know that sounds like, how would we know that, Jon? But it's actually insanely easy. Okay. I'm going to show you how. And then we're going to do it. We're going to do it the easy way first, and then we're going to do it the hard way.

Okay.

A lot of people know how to do it the easy way if they've played around with ChatGPT. Okay. But, but today, you know, we're going to start here. And one of the cool things when you're on the ChatGPT in the ChatGPT system, especially on a browser, as you can see over here, these GPTs, right? You can click Explore. And a GPT, by the way, is a generative pre-trained— I don't know something. What does GPT stand for? I forget what the last word is. Transformer. Transformer. Generative pre-trained transformer. Anyway, that doesn't matter. But a GPT basically combines, you know, they take instructions, extra knowledge, and maybe some skills, right? All we're doing is taking that extra knowledge. See how it says extra? Because it's adding on top of their base model. Their base model knows everything just about. Then you're going to have your own custom instructions that you give it, and then this GPT will do what you want it to do. There's a lot of them put out by different maybe companies or different people. Let's see if I can find one that's a company. These are all like ChatGPT ones, but sometimes you can go in here. There used to be tons of companies. These are like Community Builder, Community Builder Films, Mike Benjamin. Yeah, I'm not even seeing a whole lot of them in here. Yeah, that's interesting. It looks like it's kind of been taken over by people that have just come up with really solid prompts. But you can come in here and just play with these, right? There's tons, there's really probably tens of thousands of them at this point that you can come in here and look at. But if you want to, you know, create a website or whatever, you can click here and you just start using it, right? And you can say, hey, you know what, I want to I want to build and host a website, or I want to describe the website or what it is, right? And, and it, you know, they've figured out how to add additional instructions that, that lead to a more sure positive result, I guess, with what you're trying to do. Okay. So the other cool thing you can do is up here you can see my GPTs or you can create one. Okay. So we're going to go ahead and we're going to create a GPT. Together. I'm going to create Bob because Bob's my friend and we're going to give him a little bit more power today. My app, I need to pull up the project again. Let's just open this up. Apps.

Should we follow along with you what you're doing as you're doing it or we're watching?

Just watch for now. Right now, just watching is great. Today, guys, just FYI, will be a little bit more watching than, than doing. Um, there'll be some doing for sure, but I'm just, I'm just saying today's going to be a little bit more like— because I'm going to go through, I'm going to introduce you guys to like 12 platforms today. Okay, there won't be time. First of all, you don't want to go pay for these platforms for all of them. You want to just kind of absorb and watch and kind of enjoy. Um, but anyway, so we've got Continuum. We're trying to, we're trying to save our save our posterity from confusion after we die. Okay, so, um, you are, uh, the— oh, see, actually, you know what, I'm going to say, uh, this is actually, um, I'm saying this wrong. I need to say you are in the instructions, but in the description, this is actually going to be the public-facing description. So, um, ask me questions about Continuum, a tool that helps your family, and yeah, your family avoid chaos with your information after your death. Okay, whatever. So we'll just, we'll just say that. I could probably use— I could obviously use ChatGPT to help me come up with something. And by the way, you can do that right here. You can just click Create and then you just answer, hey, this is what I'm trying to do, right? What would you like to make? And then it will automatically fill in this stuff for you. Okay, if you want. Okay, I'm going to skip the instructions for now. We'll come back to that. That's the prompt. And then conversation starters, um, you know, I, I want to make sure my family has all of my passwords when I die. Um, I want my family to easily be able to find my crypto when I die. Um, How difficult is it to, um, recover a crypto wallet without the secret key? Okay, all right, so there's just a few conversation starters. They're actually too long for their interface, so I don't know if that really works, but, um, anyway, they're, they're there. That's what you do, and this is how you would make this. Then what I could do here is I could upload a bunch of files, right? So maybe You know, let's go back to Tyson and Ryan here on the, on Boss, right? Maybe you have a bunch of, you know, maybe you've got your books, right? You can literally upload those books right here and they will be stuck inside this. No one will be able to see them, whatever. But you would then, people would then be able to ask questions and it would answer questions with those questions based on the books and the things that are taught in there. Right. And so you could, you could build this amazing thing that just works really well. Now here's the one downside to this. This is really cool., and we've already almost kind of built this to where it works. We still need to do the prompt, which is the most important part. But assuming we got that filled in, we could then share this. We could share this with, you know, everybody. But the problem is you can't take this, this Bob, and put it on your website. Unfortunately, the only way to access this is within the ChatGPT interface. So they have to be a ChatGPT subscriber and they would go to chatgpt.com. Explore GPTs, find Bob, and then they would be able to look that up. It's not practical to use this way to actually build an agent that's going to be for your business. It's harder to build it for your business because you have to know how to use the OpenAI API, which hopefully you guys got a little bit yesterday. We're going to do it a little bit more today and then figure out how to put all this together. But what I want to show here is how easy really it is to put something together that works. So let's, let's, let's just for fun here, we're going to go over here to this. Yeah, Nimbus. I literally created two businesses yesterday because I did a whole other training. Okay, we're going to go back to Data Vault. I'm just going to say help me build a good prompt for a custom GPT named Bob. That helps users navigate Continuum and all of the questions related to this topic surrounding sensitive information. Yeah, sensitive information and, and debt. Perfect. All right, so we'll just say that. Obviously I could work on that a little bit better, but here's a pretty solid prompt. Okay. Role and identity. You are Bob, a calm, empathetic, and knowledgeable guide who helps users navigate Continuum, a platform that manages digital inheritance, sensitive information, and death-related planning. You balance warmth and clarity. Your job is to reduce overwhelm, answer questions thoroughly, and provide step-by-step guidance without judgment. All right, here's your tone and style. Here's how you're going to do it. Knowledge scope. You're an expert on Continuum's purpose, sensitive information, concepts like digital legacy, etc., etc. Here are some boundaries, right? You may discuss best practices, but you must not provide legal, tax, or medical advice. Bingo. Awesome. That's really important. Good. Instead, you can say this is general information only. Please consult an attorney for specific legal guidance, right? Don't generate personal sensitive data. Be cautious. Core behaviors do this. Okay. When uncertain or beyond your scope, recommend professional help rather than improvising. Pretty cool. Okay. And then it gives a short system version. Okay. I mean, fine, but I don't really need that right now. So really, I love this. I think this is actually pretty dang good. Okay. This is a really, really solid prompt. So we'll come back over here and we'll just paste this. But that's a, that's a pretty good prompt, guys. Now, obviously it could be much longer, but, but this is, this is now working. This is, you know, I don't even need to upload files. It knows a lot. I obviously, if I had all these Continuum SOPs and guides and blogs and things that have been written on the way that, you know, the Continuum and our company thinks, then we could certainly add that. But really, this is pretty awesome, right? So I'm going to go ahead and click Create. And for now, I'm just going to say only me. I'm the only one that's going to be able to use this. I could do anyone with the link, or I could put it in the GPT store, right, if I wanted to do that. Okay, so we'll go ahead and click Save. Oh no, I forgot to— hold on. Hold on, I forgot the most important part. You got to just click here and say use DALL-E. Bob needs a picture, right? Otherwise it's just this little icon here. He doesn't have to have a picture, but you know, it's just incomplete. And that's my OCD again saying, hey, finish the puzzle. Okay, he's got to fill in all the blanks here. But this is really easy, right? I mean, it's really not that hard to make this happen. Okay, so now we can view the GPT. Let's go test it out. Let's see what's going on. So here we go. Um, yeah, let's just try this. I want my family will use one of my prompts that I did. Hey, it's a very thoughtful and important step to take. Crypto can be especially tricky, right? Make an inventory of your crypto, list every wallet, do all this, document it securely, write clear instructions. Great. So this was really precise, concise. It's good. Um, my, um, yeah, I— let's see here. I don't have access to my wife's secret key and she died. What do I do? Hopefully it's not updating the memory of this in my ChatGPT. It's thinking.

I'm really sorry. Oh yeah, that's not good.

Yeah, you know what I mean? So it kind of thought for a second. I actually am going to click on it right now and we're going to just look. We're going to click on Settings, Personalization, and we're going to go to Manage Memories. No, I'm not seeing it. It would put it right at the very top. The most recent stuff is at the top. Yeah, very good. Okay, good. I'm actually going to tell it just so it knows, like, hey, just, you know, anyway, this is just an example. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, it probably is saying, hey, this is going to be pretty dang hard, right? So, but anyway, um, by the way, this was a sample prompt. My wife is fine. Yeah, anyway, if the sample was meant as a what-if, you got a sense of how difficult this could be. Okay, cool. So bottom line is I made a functional GPT, my own AI that focuses on what I need it to focus on. Okay, so let's go back really quickly in here, and I can click on this and click on Edit GPT. Okay, and so let's look at the components here, the ingredients of a GPT. Usually it has a name. Okay, you're going to give it something just to kind of personify it a bit, right? People like to talk to something that feels human. Okay, usually and sometimes, well, I'm going to say sometimes there's a description. If there's a description, it's more like, hey, here's a little intro, right? Like for example, with my little guy right here, Hi, I'm Bob, your estate planning advisor. How can I help you today? So that would be more of kind of like an initial, you know, kind of conversation starter or just something to make you feel comfortable with that. Okay. And then we've got a prompt. Then we have some conversation starters. The prompt is critical and then a knowledge base. The really critical things are the prompt and the knowledge base. The next level of importance is going to be the name to make it feel nice. And then some. And then the least important stuff is really the description and the conversation starters, right? People need to know. I think the description is kind of important because people need to know, like, why are you here? Why? What am I supposed to do with you? Right? And so having some sort of like, hey, let's talk about something here. You know, this is, this is what you try to, try to figure out. You know, I lost— I want to see if this actually works now. I lost a— I lost the key to my wife's garage. And I can't get a locksmith because there are none within 500 miles of my house. What do I do? Let's see if it can answer my, my fun question here. Thinking, thinking. Hey, Bob works. That's cool. So I want to see what it figures out. Well, I focus on estate planning and digital legacy management. I can offer some general advice. You might consider reaching out to mobile locksmiths who could travel to your location, or perhaps try any nearby handy person services. Yeah, let's talk about something I can help you with. Is there anything related to estate planning or managing your digital assets? Well, I need my digital assets. Okay, hold on, I'm going to confuse it a little bit. My wife's secret key to her crypto, to her Bitcoin wallet, is in that garage. That is, I just want to see. Okay, I understand the urgency of the situation, securing cryptocurrencies, vault entries, access permissions, instructions. Yeah, see, I don't like its answer here. I, I think it was— it kind of ignored what I said. I'm not sure how well it's It's remembering the situation. Where is my wife's secret key? I'm curious if it actually is remembering this conversation. Wish I could help. I wish I could help you find it. Yeah, it does not remember. This is important, guys. You see how I just tested its understanding of the situation? I was like, hey, you know what? That's not a very good answer. Well, why is it not a good answer? Did it just ignore me completely? Probably not, right? I want it anyway. It— so it sent it as a completely new prompt. Okay, so now I have some information. So let's come in here and say, hey, I just— hold on, let's see here. I am going to copy all of this. I just had this conversation with Bob. Um, yeah, see attached. It seems like each request is being treated individually instead of as a conversation. How can we fix this? I'm going to teach you guys a cool Trick now, don't write any code, just tell me. Don't write any code, just tell me. He's your new best friend. Write that one down. Don't run any code, just tell me. Remember, these AIs and Replit's prompt has been— Replit has been taught to be action-oriented, which means if you ask it a question, it's just going to start trying to solve the problem for you. It's like a man. Right? It's not going to listen and talk it through, right? The man's just going to get busy and solve the problem, right? And, you know, so that's fine. But if you understand that, then maybe you can, you can work on that, right? If you're, you know, if you're a wife and you're trying to figure out how to talk to your husband better, you can be like, look, I just need you to listen. I don't need you to solve the problem for me. I just, I want you to just listen to me for a minute, you know? Like, I've had my wife say that to me before. And so, um, that's That's better. That's more effective. It really is more effective in some ways. So, um, anyway, I thought somebody— I thought CEO of Repwood had texted me, but anyway, that was from yesterday. So, um, anyway, so we'll let it think here for a second. I don't know why it's working so hard on this. It's thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking. This should not have taken as long as it is taking currently.

Are you— so you're bringing the ChatGPT-created little GPT up in Replit? No.

Oh, okay. I'm not. This is the one I made yesterday. Remember I made Bob yesterday kind of towards the end of the day and we were kind of working on it. So I made that separately. And then this morning you just watched me make that ChatGPT, the custom GPT inside of. So right now I have two. Okay. The one in ChatGPT, if I asked it this same question, would probably handle the situation much better, right? Because it is trained and it's more set up, the prompt's good. Okay. And we know that ChatGPT is set up currently to work conversation style. All right, I'm clicking refresh because this is crazy. There's no way that should take that long. What on earth? 2 minutes ago. I do not understand. Well, we're going to let that sit there for a minute. While it's sitting here, um, what we need to do is we need to figure out how this GPT is built. Okay, now there's a couple ways we can do that. One is we can come over here to the files, and this is a little bit difficult. Okay, this is going to be a little bit more difficult. Now we're going to see maybe a little bit here. Actions, one action. 22 actions. Why is it not showing? Let me update the code. Routes. Executed sleep. I don't know, maybe it's in routes. Okay, I don't know what the heck is taking so long right there. Server routes. Let's look at the code here really quick and see. I'm just going to quickly scan, and I know what I'm looking for, so I can scan this quickly. I'm looking for basically the equivalent of that right there. It was looking for a big long prompt, right? So this here is the actual code in our system, and it even says it right here, this green stuff right here. System prompt for Bob the estate planning advisor, right? You are Bob, a friendly and knowledgeable estate planning advisor for Continuum. Your role is to help with this, this, this, this, and this. Vault entries, executors, check-ins, encryption instructions. Always do this. Keep responses focused on this. If asked about unrelated topics, politely redirect, provide practical advice, be concise but thorough, right? Remember, you're helping people protect their legacy and ensure their loved ones are taken care of, right? Now, I did not write this prompt, okay? Replit did it on its own, right, using its AI capabilities and its understanding of my request. I said, hey, I need you to set up a chatbot. And so it knows, it uses its chain of thought reasoning like we talked about yesterday. Remember, we're brushing our teeth or we're getting ready, Okay, it says, oh hey, in order to make a chatbot, I need a name, I need a prompt, I need this, I need that, whatever, right? Finally, man, it worked through that, man. It had to think hard. Oh, you know what my problem was? I had it on max autonomy. That's my fault. User error. User error. That was mean. And that cost me $0.30 to ask that question. On medium, it would cost $0.03 to ask that question. So, but it thought really hard. So I actually maybe probably got a really good idea. Okay, so Bottom line is I found the prompt. This is really cool. Now let's see what it says here. The issue is a timing problem with React state updates. Here's what's happening when you send a message. The code does this. It adds your new message to the messages state, immediately tries to read messages to build the conversation history, but React state updates are asynchronous, meaning they're not happening at the same time. Okay, so when it reads the messages to build the conversation history, It's reading the old value before the state update completes. This means the conversation history being sent to the backend is always missing the most recent messages. It's one or more exchanges behind. So before updating this, we got to do this instead of update this, we have to change it to this. Okay, great. So it understands the problem and now tells me what it's going to do. Sometimes when you get into a problem where you— where it says, hey, you know, or you've told it 10 times like fix this problem. You can get it out of its own loop by asking this question. Don't write any, just, hey, tell me what's wrong. Why is this happening? You've told me that you fix this, but you're not fixing it. Take a step back and look at it. What is wrong? Explain it to me. Don't write any code, just tell me. Then read it and then you can say, okay, great. Do the fix. Now it's going to do the fix. And we should be good to go. It should fix it at this point. But bottom line is you can see in here, guys, that this is the same. It's more complex here. It's maybe like, I don't know if I can code, and I'm in a place where I'm uncomfortable a little bit. But it has the same stuff. It has the name Bob, it has the system prompt and how to do it, and then I could add my own knowledge base in here. Can anyone— this is maybe a more advanced question. I don't know if anyone will get this right, but just to throw it out there, how would we maybe feed it some knowledge in the system here? I'll give you a hint. The answer is currently on the screen. And I'll give you a better hint. It's still on the screen. Don't try to read the code. On the right side. Yeah, bingo. Exactly. What if we just make a folder over here and call it knowledge base? Then we tell with the prompt here, hey, I want you to focus your answers. I want you to always check the knowledge base for answers. Boom. Upload your books, Tyson and Ryan, over here. Hey, now you've fed it all of this information. And now it can start to think from that. Pretty cool, huh? Right. So that's, that's how you can give it access. Now you can give it access, by the way, to, you know, something over here in a folder. You could also give it access to something that's not on the screen, but that it does have access to, which is the database, right? What if we say, hey, you know what, you know, I want you to be able to look at the user and see all of their stuff., right? All their vault entries and the types of things that they're holding on to, right? And so I want you to be an advisor. Hey, it looks like you've got 3 bank accounts and you've got 4 crypto wallets and you've got a retirement account over here and this life insurance policy. And when, you know, all the— you have all these different things, right? And so I want you to be able to, when logged in as that user, to help them reference the types of things that they have in here. So, right, so maybe you play 2 roles, Bob. One is helping John set up in case he dies. Then your second role is potentially saying, hey, Zena, you're logged in as a recipient of this stuff, and so I'm going to help you in a little bit different way. You can give those different instructions and say, hey, if the user is logged in as the person that's giving everything away, because they're gone now, then you're going to act differently. If you're this, then use this prompt. So you can even make a fairly complex setup in here. And by the way, guys, you don't have to know how to go into the routes into this code and change it. I can change it. I can come in here and I can type and it will work, right? But I don't need to do that. Okay. I am just showing you that here it is. You can just talk to the, to, to, you know, the agent and say, hey, we need to make sure that Bob operates a little bit differently for different people, for different roles in the system. OK, super easy. OK, so now we are going to try Bob because Bob has a new prompt. We're going to say, I actually want to share virtually the same. What do I do? OK, go. Let's see what it says here. My wife's secret key to her Bitcoin wallet is in that garage. General options, check for backup keys. Okay, this way. Okay, all right. Okay, I understand how important it is to access that key, especially since it relates to cryptocurrency wallet. Once you manage to get into the garage, I recommend storing the secret key. So now look how, look how cool that is, guys. It now understands the context of the conversation. Okay, now it's remembering something was a little bit off. Now it is better. Okay, so very cool. I've got Bob working pretty well in here. So I'm going to ask this question now. I know we kind of just did this pretty fast, but we're going to do a test and we're going to have Tyson answer the question. So Tyson, walk us through, just talk us through how you would add a custom bot, a custom, you know, guide for BOSS Retirement Solutions, right? Or whatever, right? How would you do that? In Replit? What would be your steps to make it happen?

So first I would need to create a prompt and ask it to help me to create a thorough prompt. And, um, then there would be these dropdowns that, uh, you showed that we can, um, help customize that based off of what I wanted to do, what kind of personality I wanted to have, um, how I want it to respond. And then it brings up the prompt. You change any, anything in the prompt that you'd like to change, and then you start working on it.

Yeah, absolutely. You could do exactly what you just said there. So you're going to jump in here to the conversation here in Replit, right? And I'm going to add one more thing that you didn't say, and it's okay because you probably wouldn't think to say it. But first you got to think about, well, where do I want it to interact? Right? And so I chose a floating bubble in the bottom right, right? It's kind of like a help section. You know, you could make it, you know, more front and center. You could have it be a pop-up that comes up and, you know, glows while it talks. I don't know. You could have all kinds of things. So you come up with whatever— what's the mechanism for how I'm going to chat? And then, yes, exactly right. You're going to make a prompt. And the prompt you'll probably build if you were doing it really well and you wanted to have a lot of control over it, you'll probably go into ChatGPT and you'll build it over there and you'll build this nice, beautiful prompt and then you'll bring that prompt over to Replit and say, hey, build the chatbot. Here's the prompt I want you to use. And then it will do all the installation and you're done, right? And then you, and then the third and most important step, test, right? Make sure it works the way you want it to work. Okay. There's another thing that Bob is doing here that is, is off. Does anybody feel like this looks weird? This response looks weird in any way. It's showing the thought process.

It's not showing the thought process. Or steps to do something that might not need to be done.

No, these are actually good steps, but what you're seeing, where you're thinking thought process is you're seeing these asterisks here. This is kind of weird, weird formatting. Okay. But what it is actually, and this is just something that you would know over time, you would say, hey, get rid of the asterisks. This is weird, but what I'm going to do, it's actually called Markdown. It's a specific type of way to type and format things. The responses are coming back right now, but they are showing unformatted Markdown symbols. Please get the text responses to properly show the formatting. Okay, so you could also just say, hey, there's weird asterisks on these answers, why is it there? Right? And again, you just have to think about that as, as a user, right? Is it weird to say 1.* create a vault entry: **? Like, it just feels off. At least if you're like me and you're a proofreader and you have a red pen that you use all the time. I've definitely done that in my life, probably because my dad was. But anyway, I can see the Markdown symbols bold. It actually means bold. It's supposed to be showing bold, that little section right there. It's not being rendered properly, so it's not displaying. The formatting just isn't coming through in this little spot right

here. I have a question about that, Jon. Like we did yesterday when we've created a prompt or what have you and we're bringing it over to Replit, like we said, hey, I'm ready here, prepare this for Replit. Is there something— does that always need to happen, or is that kind of just in that creation case, or is that advantageous and it would help to avoid maybe something like this by saying, hey, prep it for Replit and bringing it over, or

unnecessary? Yeah, I mean, you certainly could. Sometimes, sometimes we assume that ChatGPT understands everything about how Replit works. A little bit too much, right? So sometimes people will be like, I don't even know what to say over here. And so they go over to ChatGPT and say, what should I say to RepBot? I'm having this problem. And can anyone think about why that might be a bad idea? Sometimes it's okay, but most of the time I think it's a terrible idea, and there's a very obvious reason why. At least it will be obvious when I say

it. You guys will be like, duh. Can you repeat it one more time?

Yes. Yeah, hit me. I'll do the question one more time here. Why would it be a bad idea to ask ChatGPT what to say to Replit to get your project working better? How concurrent the data is that it has. Boom, that's it. It doesn't have this. GPT doesn't have access to thousands of tens or hundreds of thousands of lines of code. It doesn't understand in the AI proper terminology, the context. Yeah. Understand the context of the whole project. It might understand a little piece of it and it might give you an okay answer that Replit hopefully can figure out like, oh, that's what he means, you know. But the reality is, The, the, the, the AI that you're talking to here is just as smart as ChatGPT. So there's no reason to go to ChatGPT to do that. I'm gonna show you guys one other cool little

thing. Can I ask you a question on that though? Go ahead, Laura. Well, you, we, before we started this, we were talking about when you get this project and there's some things wrong with it, we were talking about taking the link over back to ChatGPT and you thought that was a good idea, like, but now you're saying that you don't need to because it's got an AI built in and it doesn't have all the information that's going with it. So kind of talk through

that. Yeah, good question. So, so there's two, there's two pieces to that in my mind, and I might have confused some of what you were asking. If it is a technical problem, stay in Replit. And fix it. If it is a, hey, you know what, this isn't my idea, this is not showing the types of ideas and the value and the product and the workflow and the things that I'm really trying to do. This is not accomplishing what I tried to do, right? And so if you want to talk about the business idea and the more abstract things, great. But if you're getting down to the technical specifics, stay in

Replit. That helps a lot. Thank

you. Yeah, great question, Laura. Great clarification there. Okay, so now it looks like it should work here. Tell me step by step how to add a crypto wallet to my account

here. Random side note for you, like when you are coming up against stuff where it's like you're getting errors and whatnot and you're working with the steaming pile, so to speak, like what would be indicative that you need to have a do-over? With something? Like, are you getting like just error after error or is

it— No, error after error is probably okay, especially if you're working on a more difficult process, right? But there have been times where I'm just like, I don't know, it's kind of a feeling, the gut check thing, right? You kind of have to start to understand what's happening. You're like, okay, I feel like the way that you're doing this is you're going here and you're going here and you've created this like 5-step process that should just be 1 step. Sometimes also, Danny, you can say, hey, you've built this piece of the puzzle. I want you to— I want you to rip it out, the whole thing. And we're going to build this feature from scratch. So maybe you just can do it at a feature level, right? And you just— and you just tell it, hey, I want you to delete all of that from the codebase and we're going to redo this whole feature. I want you to start from scratch and do it simpler. Right. And so you could do that kind of a thing too. So it's kind of— I don't know, it's kind of a thing you have to figure out. But now look at— look at this, guys. Now we don't have weird markdown asterisks. Now it actually is bolding where it's supposed to bold. Okay, nice. Doesn't that look much better now? Right. Log in to Continuum, navigate to Vault, add new entry, select entry type. Isn't it cool that it knows how to use this platform? Like, I think that's really cool personally. It is able to— this AI is able to look at the code and figure out exactly how this works. Like, I'm impressed, right? I'm actually super impressed. That like set the permissions, the encryption is already there. That's it. You've already done this. I think it's super cool, guys. All

right. I haven't tested it

here. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. So I'm just thinking through a bot that it would be useful for Ryan and I to create a bot for our team internally that they could, when we're not accessible, that they could ask questions about how we would deal with a particular client or a situation. Um, we would— would it be— and this may be out of the scope of this course, but, um, could we attach that eventually into our website internally for people to access, or would we have to create a completely different website through Replit and then give them access as a kind of a customer service type website that they could

access? Who currently manages your

website? Um, we, we have a team at a place called Advisors

Excel. Awesome. Okay, so that means you have developers that can actually integrate this, right? And so what you could do, a very easy thing to do, Tyson, would be to say, okay, we're going to create a bot and then we're going to hand that, you know, even if you make it in Replit, you can then take the code and you can say, or, you know, share the project with, with those people over there and say, hey, I've created a bot in the way that I want it to work. Find, find all the code you need and move it over, right? And so they'd be able to just pull that out. There's also another way to do this that's actually a lot easier. And I'm going to show you guys right now. Okay, we're going to— and maybe not easier, but it is a different way to do it that I think is very effective. Okay. All right. So we've built Bob. So we now built Bob twice. We built it with ChatGPT and now we've built it with Replit. Okay. We've learned that we have a name, we have a prompt, we have a knowledge base. Those are a few things that we need to work on. Now let's build Bob a whole new way. Here we go. I'm going to move the Zoom

things. Go ahead, Laura. I was going to say when you said that we could add, what do you call it, knowledge base in the folders in Replit, How do you do that? Like, where do you upload knowledge if you need to add it to the

prompts? Yeah, so it would be very simple. You come here into the files, right? And you would just right up here in the very top right, new folder or new file, right? Okay. And so you just

say— And then what kind of information would you be

like— Whatever you want. Upload all of your PDFs. Upload— PDFs. Yeah, PDFs or Word docs or text files or— PowerPoints, I mean,

whatever. If you go up there in the files and add it, you don't have to tell it where it's

going. No, you do. Right here I'm adding a new folder and I'm calling it knowledge base. Then I would say instead of trying to go into the code and talk, you don't want to go into the code. I would literally say, okay, I have just uploaded a bunch of files to the folder knowledge— by the way, in code, you can never have a space in, in a file or a folder. Okay, so knowledge_base, right, to the folder knowledge base. Okay, I want you to update Bob so that it refers to these files when answering questions as it considers its answers. That's it. That's all you have to do. I will copy and I'll paste this into the chat in case you want to just grab that and put it in somewhere. By the way, when I do send the video recordings, I will send our chat transcripts. Okay,

good. Then you did add a folder called knowledge_base first before

you— Yeah, over here. Yeah, over here. I clicked on this button up here in the top right and I just said, hey, do the knowledge base right here. And then you could literally just drag, like, literally I could take this, you know, this file right here. I can literally just drag it here and it's uploaded. Super easy to do that. Okay. So you can also click and then say add file. Oh, that's adding a file. That's actually the wrong way to do it. I know there's a way to upload. I swear there's a way to upload. You can do, can you do the, yeah. You could upload a folder too, right? You could literally grab a folder of stuff out of your, you know, wherever and just drag it in there. Okay. That's how you would do that. That's one way to do it. You could also technically drag that file over here to the chat and say, hey, I want you to upload all of these files to a folder called Knowledge Base and have Bob refer to this, right? There's a few different ways that it can— you can add files and you can give it those instructions. But, but again, just think, remember, Replit is your— is a person. Right? Think of it like a person. It's your developer. Hey, I need to upload some folders or a folder, some files to you to add to the knowledge base so that Bob can refer to those. Where, how do I do that? Right? Just like you would go to your developer and say, hey, I need you to, I need you to have all of this be the reference for Bob. How can I do that? And they would say, oh, well, why don't you send the folder over here and do this and whatever? Okay, great. And you'd send them a link. The exact same way here. Remember that AI can answer your question. Okay? By the end of the course today, I'm gonna have you ask a question. I'm gonna be like, guess what? You can ask AI that, and they'll give you a better answer than I can. Right? Mm-hmm. So, anyway, so good. Now we're gonna go, let's see here. How do I create a custom conversation API? Where is this? Signing in. Sign me

in. Okay, there we go. Jon, I have a quick question about like Grok Vision. Like, do you ever use that? Or is it good enough at like taking my phone, for instance, showing the screen and being like, this is the issue I'm having, kind of like, or is it always better to, like if I just had some random thing, like I can't figure it out, if there's a way to, do you ever use, I guess, Grok Vision in order to kind of solve issues? Like I had a flat tire the other day. I'm like, I'm going to try, you know, I've never done this before, or like, I don't know what it was, something technical, and I just was showing the camera it and just, and it was just teaching me. So like all the questions that we're essentially asking you, we could do that obviously typing that up. Have you, do you have use of that? Have you tried Grok Vision to see like how on point it is or if it's kind of

loose? Yeah, I'm not using Grok Vision specifically, right? But like in Replit, if I have a problem, yeah, I can take a screenshot and give it to Replit and Replit will look at my screenshot and tell me what's up, right? Or I can take that same screenshot over to ChatGPT or to Groq. I can use it. All of these models are now capable of looking at your problem and figuring it out. You could say, hey, the coding is not working on this and I need to get this formatting right. What do I tell it to fix the problem? You can absolutely do that thing. This is the API reference. Projects, default projects. Create project. Test, not tet. Well, tet. How about project tet created? Okay, perfect. But what does that mean? I know there is a way. Sorry guys, ChatGPT changes their, changes their things. I know there's a way in here. At least there was a way in here to do this and I don't see it right now. There is a way to create actually an assistant. Okay. Create. Create assistant with OpenAI. Create assistant. This is the API. That's where I just was. Post assistance model description metadata name, constrained response format, temperature, tools, tools returns. Yeah, this isn't— this doesn't have all of the different pieces. That it used to

have. Okay, let's ask an assistant do that a, uh, ChatGPT doesn't

do. Remember, a GPT, a custom GPT, can only be used inside of

ChatGPT. It's stuck inside unless somebody has the link,

right? If they have the link, they can click on it and it will say, hey, welcome to my chatbot, please sign up for ChatGPT in order to access this. They won't be able to use it unless they subscribe to ChatGPT, right? They're already a subscriber. So if you want— you would never want to do that on Boss Retirement Solutions. You want them to just use it, right? You don't want them to have to go sign up for ChatGPT in order to use this thing. I need to create a custom

assistant. So an assistant. So let me ask you in this way. So at Make, we have this called Martha Storyteller, another leader created, and it creates story content. It knows everything about Make. And so we were given a link and we can open it in ChatGPT. So it's like a, a kind of on the list there as like one of the projects and says Martha Storyteller. So is that a custom GPT or is that a, um, uh, assistant? And you're saying you built that where? So we just were given it, given it to us by another top leader that who she created it,

right? And how did you access it? A link. A link to where

though? Where was like a box? Opens. It's, it's a custom GP— it's, it's, it goes into GPT.

Okay. Yeah. So that was a custom GPT. Yeah. If it opens ChatGPT, then it's a custom GPT and it's it's— there's basically zero value for that. Like, it's just super easy to do and access or whatever. Now, I'm going to say zero value is wrong, right? There's a tiny bit of value, right? But problem is it is stuck behind ChatGPT's interface and their paywall, right? And so ChatGPT is super smart to create those because then people have to pay to access these things. I'll show you guys in a second some of the GPTs I've created in here and how I use them personally. There used to be an interface in the API area that let me configure the assistant in there. Is that deprecated? Hold on, let me just ask this. I want to know if this feature is completely gone. It's changed because OpenAI is phasing out the Assistants API and the Responses API. Deprecating this. Okay, shut down August 26th. Okay, that's why this is new information to me. Um, they already deprecated this. Yeah, that's the old assistance one, right? But what to do now? Too old,

deprecated. But they're using Responses

API. Yeah, they're using the Responses API, and that's fine, whatever. I mean, I think that's kind of dumb. Files, upload file, platform APIs, images, fine-grading, retrieve file. Yeah, so it basically has it all set up to now you have to build your own custom one inside of something like Replit, right? Which again isn't that hard, but they had a nice visual interface to do it. So that's okay. What we're going to do is we're going to skip, we're going to skip ahead to another part of today's session, which is really fun. And we're gonna do voice, okay? And it's gonna, it's gonna cover the same type of thing. Okay, so here's how you would turn this into a voice assistant. Let's give Bob a voice. Okay, so we're going to sign in, we're going to log in here, and here we are. So ElevenLabs is a— it is the top-of-the-line voice, you know, assistant creator, and it can do unbelievable things. They actually call them agents in here. Okay, so we can go into voices and we can listen to different

voices. Hi there, I'm AI David Bowles, and you're listening to my professional voice clone right here on

ElevenLabs. Okay, we can go to Frederick. And here we have a calm, well-spoken narrator full of intrigue and

wonder. And listen to it. Great narration starts with an amazing voice. I'm Jessica, Let's get started and build some incredible content

together. Okay, so there's thousands of voices you can choose from. Okay, these are very cool and you can use these for all kinds of different things. You can also create your own voice, right? What if I want to create a clone of me? Or what if, you know, Tyson just loves his voice and he's like, it is a season. I want them to hear my voice when they're asking questions at Boss, right? So we're going to do an instant voice clone. We're going to click record audio. 3, 2, 1. Okay. Hey, my name is Jon and I am here to help you out today. I'm going to help you go through a beautiful, wonderful meditation. So close your eyes. All right. That's actually all I have to do. Um, 3, 2, 1, done. Okay. 12 seconds of recording. That's all it takes. I can click next and Wait for it. Go faster, go faster. Okay. Problem solving is the magic reel of life's movie. I've created a voice clone of me. Done. Now, I only did 12 seconds. If I gave it 5 minutes of my voice, it's going to be much better, right? Because it will hear all the different sounds. It'll hear how I speak when I'm sad or slow, or maybe when I'm excited, or maybe when I think something's funny, you know, and so a really good— Ben, you would have a blast with this, right? Ben's an actor. Okay. But you can go in here and you could create all these cool voices with different types of, you know, things, and you can even change your voice and do all kinds of stuff. Have you ever played with this,

Ben? Have you ever played with it? I haven't played with this tool. I've seen a few others though.

Yeah. All right. That's cool. But anyway, so I'm not going to save my voice because I've created my voice so many times and I don't need to save another version of me. Right. But I can come into my voices here. And so I can use, you know, a little progress each day adds up to big results. Okay, so I've got all these different ones in here and then I have a few that I

like. Cherish the earth and its infinite

beauty. Okay, so I can— I've got voices. That's cool. So making the voice is the first thing. Now we're going to use the voice. Okay, so let's actually first go into Voice Changer. This is kind of

fun. So we'll try this. Now, do you subscribe to

ElevenLabs? Is there a— Yeah, yeah, there's a monthly cost. Get— what do you guys think it

costs? $10, $20, $5. It's

not— oh, that's awesome. It's ridiculous. It's $5. You can do unbelievable things with it, and you guys haven't— you ain't seen nothing yet, okay? Just keep watching, right? This is the easy stuff, okay? I'm gonna record my voice here saying something, okay? You know, I've always wondered what I would sound like as a woman. Okay, so now we're gonna choose a voice. We'll choose Eve. And we will generate

speech. You know, I've always wondered what I would sound like as a

woman. Okay, so it takes my performance, my exact performance of what I just spoke, and it just changes it to that voice, right? I can change that exact thing. We can go over to Rachel and regenerate. You know, I've always wondered what I would sound like as a woman. Okay, so obviously you can go through and you could do this with tons of different voices and you say all kinds of things and, you know, you could put together a movie. You know, I've always wondered what I would sound like as a woman. Okay, so I can change all these voices, say a bunch of things, and then I could go— I'm going to take you like 5 steps ahead. But we're going to go to RunwayML. RunwayML is another tool. Let me log in really quick. It's another tool that does all kinds of generation. You can generate voices. Whoa, this is all new. This is a new interface. I swear this stuff changes every day, guys. Let's go to the dashboard, all tools. You can generate videos, images, audios, and then look, You can lip sync video. So what if you, what if you snagged an image of, you know, and you can do, you can do a caricature like this or an animated something, or you can actually do real stuff. You can put your face in here and then it will animate you and it will sync it to the audio that you pull over from ElevenLabs. All right. So you start to see how you can get really creative here and build amazing things. We'll play a little more. With Runway ML later, but I just wanted to just kind of complete that thought while I was playing with it. Okay, so you can change your voice. That's awesome. There's some other fun things too. You can improve, you know, voice isolator. You can do some really cool stuff. Okay, but the real magic in here is the agents platform. Okay, now to create an agent, you— it's no different than creating basically a GPT, a custom GPT, right? So let's actually— let's see here. We got active calls, voice agents. Here we go. So let's do mindfulness and yeah, we'll say I'm John and you are John. Save. And then we're going to go to voice and we're going to change. We've got a voice. We've got a Jon voice in here. Gardens remind us of the kindness of the earth. All right, it works. So, okay, now I can test this AI agent. Now this AI agent has been trained. Let's look at all the pieces here. First message. Hey there. Thanks for taking this moment for yourself. This is a mindfulness agent. This is, you know, the one that's walking you through a, you know, a meditation or something, right? Let's begin by introducing ourselves. I'm Jon. What's your name? Okay, so that's how it's going to start. Then here's the system prompt, right? Hey, you're Jon, a mindfulness coach. Here's what you do, right? Super cool. Trying to see if it says Clara anywhere in here. I don't see anything. Okay, that's good. Okay, then I can change some other things, right? I can choose which LLM it's using. What brain does it have behind it? Is it GPT this? Is it GLM this? Is it Gemini this? Is it GPT-5? Is it Claude? You can change all that stuff. I'm just going to leave it by default one because it knows what it's doing and it's the cheapest. Then I can say, hey, you know what, do you want to be more creative or do you want to be more deterministic based on the randomness of the responses? You can play with that, which is pretty fun. Now look at this agent knowledge base, right? Maybe I've got a specific way I like to do meditations and I have— I'm smelling fire. I might need to go check on that in a second. I think my wife's here though, so she might just be cooking. Um, but anyway, add document and, uh, it could just be toast, so we're good probably. But anyway, add

document. We won't get mad if you need to go take a peek. That's

justified. A fire is justified. I can take a break for 20 seconds. I will in a second. I, it's, I actually think it's cooking, but I'm, I am going to double check just to be sure in a second here. But anyway, I would add documents, add files, add URL, create text, and I give it that knowledge base. And then here in 11Labs, you can do all kinds of other things. So you guys look at all the cool things it can do and read those little descriptions while I just make sure our house isn't burning down. This is wild stuff. We can get

lost. I'm

excited. So how you can use this for social media, like, you know, the voice with like, I mean, and spend a lot of time with

it. More data it has, the better to be at getting

game. That's crazy, man. Now I'm just hungry. She's making brisket and it's freaking

amazing. All right, that's a good

problem. It is a good problem. But yeah, anyway, so you can see some of these cool things, right? Like I built one of the things I built in one of these, one of these glasses that I built a little Chinese tutor, right? I served my mission in Taiwan and so I speak Chinese and I just said, hey, you know what, I'm going to go back and forth and I'm going to practice Chinese. So I turned on the detect language thing, gave it the ability to speak English and Chinese, and boom, I had a Chinese tutor. I could just talk to it and I could say, hey, what do I say here? And what's the best way to do this? And, you know, it would just talk me through. And you can obviously do all kinds of stuff. Transfer to agent, transfer to number. What if you're building a, you know, some receptionist for Boss Retirement Solutions, right? Great. Now you can all of a sudden have a really awesome AI agent. And by the way, guys, I highly recommend If you are going to do an AI agent either as a salesperson, an outbound agent, or an inbound receptionist, that you don't try to hide the fact that it's AI. Don't try to play off and be like, oh, this sounds so human, they're not even going to know they're not even talking to a real person. Something's a little bit off. Our brains can catch those little things. It's better to just say, hey, I'm the AI receptionist here at Boss Solutions. How can I help you? Oh, I need to talk to this person. That's great. Let me help you. Right.

Whatever.

Perfect. Just be upfront. Say it. Hey, right. If it's an outbound salesperson, hey, I'm the AI assistant for Jon Cheney, you know, the leader in AI, whatever. Right. Obviously I can do that. Right. I'm an AI person. And so I could probably set that up and have, have an AI make, you know, 5,000 calls a day for me, which, by the way, you can do. Right. You could set, you could set it up to be able to have a ton of calls per day and outwork any— I can, I can have it outwork Danny all day long, right? Just put my AI agent as Danny. Phone

calls? So you would feed it the

numbers? Yeah, so you have to— you would have to connect it to a, um, you know, to a, a phone system, right? But it'd be very, very easy to do, okay? You just go— literally, you do it with Replit, right? And, and by the way, Replit knows how to do it. You don't need to know how to do it. All you need to know is what you would say to your developer. Hey, Mr. Developer, I need an AI agent that uses a real phone number to call. I have a phone number with Grasshopper, which is a phone system, right? And I have an API key for you, and I have 11Labs, and I have an API key for you. Will you put that together for me? Yep. Great. Okay. Start calls, right? I want you to record the calls. I want you to have them set up meetings in this calendar. Here's the link or whatever. It will build the whole system for you. Anyway, let's test our AI agent. Let's see what it sounds like. Hey there, thanks for taking this moment for yourself. Let's begin by introducing ourselves. I'm Jon, what's your name? Hey, I'm Jon too, nice name. It's a pleasure to meet you, Jon. That's quite a nice name, isn't it? Tell me, Jon, what brings you here today? Are you looking to explore a specific mindfulness practice or perhaps just seeking a bit of calm? You know, I'm just stressed and I need, I need your help. I understand, Jon. Stress can be quite overwhelming. I'm here to help you find some calm amidst it. To start, would you prefer a guided meditation or would you like to explore some techniques for managing stress in your daily life? You know what, I feel better already. Thanks. That's wonderful. Anyway, so my voice is not well trained for that. I would probably switch it to Clara because Clara's voice is going to be nicer and soothe me way better. But the bottom line is that AI agent you can talk to. So let me— I'm going to— I'm going to— I'm just going to say a little tidbit and I'll backfill later. But I have a friend who is making $1 million a year right now on a business that is completely on autopilot. And the only thing that the AI agent does is call old people and talk to them. That's it, right? He doesn't have to do anything. It automatically places the call. The old person picks up. It talks to them as long as they want— hour, 2 hours, 3 hours. It remembers past conversations with that person, and so it can say, hey, how was Sally and her piano performance? How was your granddaughter? How was whatever? You know, all of that. And they could just talk. I'll explain why that— what, you know, what that means in a little

bit. But question for that With that, Jon, is like when we're doing something that requires recording or documentation or this, like the backing up of, like, what is that, I guess, RAM capacity, like, to remember that kind of stuff? And are you paying for something that has a deeper mind, so to speak, or retention, or— Not

really. It's super easy, right? So let's, let's go back to here. Right. Where would we— if I wanted Bob to remember all of my conversations, what would we do? We would ask Replit to add a new table in the database called conversations. Wait for it. Boom. We'd have it add a new table called conversations and it would then save all the

text. So like data usage and consumption there, because it could get pretty heavy like that. That's able to field

that? There's not like a limit? It's text. You could record all of, you know, the Library of Alexandria in like 100 gigs. Like, you'll never get anywhere close to that. And 100— understood. Yeah. And it costs you nothing. It's only text, right? The recordings, those are different, right? Recordings is audio, so that's going to be a little bit bigger, right? Or if you're doing video, it's going to be a little bit bigger. Right? But, um, but look, we can come in here into agents. I'll show you what's happening here. So one, um, anybody here ever heard of Outpost X? Travis Chambers, Outpost X. Jamie has. Yeah, Jamie's a little bit closer down there in St. George. But Outpost X right here is— whoops— Outpost X. Outpost X is this awesome kind of, I don't know, Airbnb, call it, you know, you can, you can reserve it on Airbnb, but it's basically like you're landing in the middle of the Star Wars world. Like, it is so cool. Like, this person, when they zoom out a little bit, you'll be able to see that she's actually driving a

speeder. Oh no, I've seen this. These

are— this is

rad. Yeah, super

cool. I've seen these. It really is amazing. And I've gone down there and hung out, and it's super fun. Anybody know, um, who,

uh— wait, sorry, do you have a question? I just say Travis Chambers, or I mean

Travis. Is that what you're gonna say? Yeah, no, I was gonna— no, yeah, I know Travis really well. So there's the speeders, right? It's so fun, guys. I have amazing pictures and videos from, from Outpost X. But anyway, we can move beyond that. But look right here, Amira Assistant. Wait for it. Should be there. There we go. All right. That took a second. But look at the thing here. OutpostXAmira.Replit.app. Nice. This was created in Replit. I created this for

him. And let's just talk to it. Welcome, traveler. I am

Amira. How shall I guide you? Yeah, I want to drive some of these speeders out here. How do I do

that? Uh, you must be referring to the sand cruisers. They are high-performance relics from the Namajin resistance. To take one out for a spin, simply head to where they are parked. The keys are in the cruisers themselves, so just turn the key to start. Be sure to check out using the QR code on site. A word of caution though, these cruisers are relics and can be a bit temperamental. Daytime use is recommended for safety. Also, remember that the playa is sacred to the Namajins, so please avoid driving cars on it. Will you be needing any further guidance on your sand cruiser adventure? No, I'm good on

that. Recommendation for a scenic route? What's the Wi-Fi

password? The Wi-Fi network here is Outpost X. And the password is a capital O for Outpost, followed by a capital letter X, and then followed by the number

1. Okay, so obviously amazing, super cool, right? Every Airbnb should have one of these, you know, some of the guide to the area, whatever. You can do some really, really cool things there. Now maybe you don't want to, you know, have that conversation with voice or you're in a place where you can't talk. And so, you know, what's the Wi-Fi password, right? So I created a text version as well. That has all of the same information. It's trained on the same knowledge base. And boom, here you go. Actually, you know what? I don't even

know. Could you coach it to, like, bring it back? Let's say you just asked a random question about, I don't know, something political that you want to bring them back specifically to one point, like when distracted or content's outside of these parameters that I cover and my database I'm pulling from, this is what I would go to every

time. Welcome, traveler. I am Amira. How shall I guide

you? What do you think about Donald

Trump? I am here to assist with information about Outpost X. Perhaps you have questions about our Zen domes, Raider caves, or the history of Namajin.

Yeah. So I have trained— this is a must-do on all prompts. You have to tell it specifically, if the user asks something unrelated to this, immediately move them back to the conversation. And there's two reasons. Well, there's probably more than two, but there's two primary reasons for it. One, You don't want them wasting your credits on whatever they want to talk about, right? You don't want them doing their homework using your credits. This costs money every single time someone clicks on this, right? That's not much. It's like a penny, right? Or less than that, right? But you don't want that. And then two, you want to keep it a good, you know, especially in an immersive experience like Outpost X where you literally are supposed to show up dressed up as a Jedi, right? You don't want it talking about Donald Trump. You want it talking about Namajin, right? Like, anyway, you want it talking about this, you know, the wisdom of the Naturi system. So this is trained on practical things like, what do I do with the sand cruisers? Where do I get the key? What's the password? Where do I get food? And it also is trained on— watch

this. Welcome, traveler. I am Amira. How shall I guide you? Can you tell me a story? Of course. Do you have a preference? I could tell you of the Great Flare, of Na and Ma, or perhaps of the brave

Ryan. Bottom line is it's trained on all of the lore of that place. It has all these stories and all these podcasts and things and recordings and stuff, right? And so it's all the text of all those things, right? By the way, guys, the text is broken on here right now because it's using the old assistance API that was deprecated a month ago. So I need to go in and update this for Travis. So I'm glad that I clicked on this, but I did create a text version that has all the same training. I just have to, I just have to move it

now. So anyway, could you put in, I know, sorry, last question for a hot minute. Could we tell the system to notify us when, where it's been pulling or whatever data that it's using has changed that it's, you know, I mean, that would create a problem because there's millions of changes that are happening, but significant changes for you to be updated on how, like, could you coach it to tell you that that no longer is where it is coming from or what's

changed. Yeah. So that's actually a little bit different. You wouldn't coach the AI to do that or whatever. All you would do, because you're saying like, hey, well, it'd be nice to know that this messed up, right? It'd be better to know that a month ago than, you know, hey, here we are 5 weeks later and how many people have clicked on this and it didn't work, right? That's a bad experience. So, but no, what you would do is you'd set up something in Replit and say, hey, if I want you to test the APIs daily, if you encounter an error, send me a notification to my email. So that would be just a separate thing you would set up. It has nothing to do with this agent. It would be just a separate feature that Replit, you know, you just set up an automatic system check that it tests every day,

right? So you mean that would be like talking to the dev person? This is probably the first thing I should say before I ask a

question. So I'll work on that. But that's exactly right. Yeah, you're talking to Replit, you're talking to your dev and saying, hey, I want to know if something's going on. Can we set up a little automated notification that tests this every day. If it finds a problem, sends me a message. Okay, so, but now let's look at that. So now we've seen, you know, Amara in action, or Amira, sorry, Amira in action. Here she is. Okay. Welcome, traveler. I'm Amira. How shall I guide you? Right. I can change this. I can get in here. I could really mess up Travis. I could say all kinds of stuff here. Here's how it, you know, so here's all the prompt, the guidelines. Here's the system knowledge. Domes 1 through 4 have private restrooms and here's what happens on arrival and here's the Wi-Fi password. You know, all that stuff. Cool. Okay. And then down here we've got agent knowledge base signs with lore podcast basics about Post X. So all of this, it's called RAG indexing is complete, right? It's used all this stuff and you can just add more stuff, add document just like I showed you earlier. But that's, that's all it takes, right? But then you can come in here and you can say analysis. Is it analysis? It's not analysis. Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Advanced widget. There's a place here where you can actually hear calls from people. Voice analysis. I thought it was an analysis. Again, these, these platforms keep moving stuff. Let's see here. Edit name, duplicate, delete, conversation history. Right there. Okay. So let's come in here. We'll just randomly click on one. Here's a minute-long conversation. Nope, that's with me. Here's a 4-minute

conversation. Just see what happens here. Welcome, traveler. I am Amira. How shall I guide

you? I have a 4-year-old daughter and wondering if we can stay in the

dome. Yes, families are welcome in the domes. To best prepare for your arrival, could you

please— So pretty cool. So obviously we could stay here and we could, you know, manually listen to these things, right, and go through and listen to the 4-minute and kind of spot-check calls like that. You can also, though, look at the transcription, right? Here's the entire conversation here, right? And what can you do with text or, you know, subscription— or sorry, a transcription with all this text? You can run it through AI and you could say, hey, I need you to monitor this, and if there's anything weird or any bad experiences, I want you to notify me. Right. And so you could do really cool things like that. And you could also say, hey, if there's a problem, you know, transfer me to a real person. You know, there's all kinds of things you can do with this stuff, but you have all of the data that you need here. Right. So there are systems out there right now that are charging $900 a month per seat. Right. For virtual sales assistants. Okay. And I guarantee All of you guys today could build that system in 2 hours. Okay, all you have to think is, okay, what do I need it to do? Hey, Mr. Developer, here's what I need it to do. We're going to use 11Labs, and we're going to use this phone number, and we're going to use HubSpot to keep track of all the calls or all the, all the, you know, meetings that are set up. And here's here's a calendar link that we're going to set up with Calendly or whatever, right? But you could put it together and now you can start a new software company. You're selling $900 a seat and you're like, yeah, look, this is $900. This is less than $10,000 a year. It's $10,000 a year roughly instead of paying a sales rep, you know, $90,000 a year or an SDR of $70,000 a year or whatever it is, right? You can fire, you can change, you can whatever. This person makes 600 calls a day instead of 60 calls a day. You know, they're going to outdo any of your sales reps. Boom! I could sell that product. I could build that company and sell that today easily. Okay, you see how much opportunity there is here with something like this? Go create some voice assistant that does something, right? These voice assistants don't

complain. They can just— that guy you said that does the old people calls, yeah, how does he monetize that? Does he charge the old people for the calls,

or— No, because they're all in senior care centers. And the senior care centers— the senior care center doesn't even have to pay for it. The insurance pays for preventative discussions. Like, it prevents Alzheimer's and it prevents dementia, right? A lot of people in senior care centers, they don't talk to enough people, and so they lose their minds, and it's way more expensive to treat Alzheimer's and dementia than it is to prevent it. And so UnitedHealthcare pays for it. Wow. Isn't that cool? Yeah. Yeah, pretty dang cool. So, he just has UnitedHealthcare people go out or UnitedHealthcare brokers that are selling to different things, to these senior care centers. And he says, "Hey, I'll pay you a commission if you sell this to senior care centers." And, they, they can set all this stuff

up. So break it down again. You said there were— if you wanted to do something like this, you would do blank, blank, blank, blank, blank. I think you gave like 5 or 6

steps. What were those steps again? Well, again, it's not, it's not rocket science. It's just, it's just common sense, right? And I know it sounds hard, but you just have to think about, okay, I need to set up a sales guy right, or a sales gal, and I need it to call from a phone number. Okay, so what do I need? I need a phone system, right? And you could just get online on Google and be like, I need a phone number that can use APIs. Okay, that's all you'd have to ask. Then you need something that's going to be the voice. So in this case, we'll use ElevenLabs. There are other voices, so you need an AI voice. You're going to train that voice in ElevenLabs. You're going to set it up there, whatever. And then you would probably, you know, if you're having it make phone calls, sales calls for you, you would probably want the result to be either one of two things: a purchase or a meeting booked, right? And so if it's a purchase, well, then you have to have a website with a product, and/or two, It could be like a Calendly link, right? Are you familiar with Calendly, Laura? Yeah. Yeah. Just a link where it can go in there. Calendly, by the way, has an API. The AI doesn't actually click on the link, it just can read your calendar and say, hey, it looks like he's got an opening tomorrow at 2:00. Does that work for you? Great. I've booked it. Done. Thanks. You've got an email confirmation. I've got an email confirmation. We're good to go. Have a great

day. See you later. Right. Other than phone calls, can it go into social, um, like LinkedIn or like, uh, Facebook Messenger or, you know, things like that, or just mostly for phone calls?

Yeah. I mean, you're saying, are you saying go into LinkedIn to like send a message for you on your behalf? Yeah. So you're not going to use ElevenLabs to do that, but 100%. Yes. Absolutely. You can have AI automate social media for you. Yeah. From the posting to the conversations to anything you can imagine.

Yeah. And then the voice, I know you can have it make a phone call with the voice or you can have it set up a schedule with the voice. Can you use it to set up, you know, like social content using voice? You know, like, like using your own, like creating content that you would then, like an animated version of yourself with voice content and then be able to publish that out to your social channels. Yeah,

absolutely. These are extensions. Where are my I don't know how to use— see here, this is not what I want. I want to go to my bookmarks. Anybody know how to like open your bookmarks? That's— oh, here it is. It's got to be these, right? Yeah, it's up there. Sorry, it's— yeah, it's hidden. It's hidden by the dang video here. Um, so yeah, let's go down to— I know I've got— I don't actually use bookmarks very often, but I know I bookmarked one. Hold on, is it Was it on this one? Rafting, finance, YouTube, mobile, Amazon. Where is AI? I know I have an AI folder. Maybe I put it

on— Hey, Jon, can I make a recommendation that's been helpful for me when I'm building anything? Yeah. Is to put together a PRD, a product requirements doc, and basically go through things like, what do I want the UI to look like? Login gonna look like, API keys, so on and so forth. What's it gonna do? What databases do I need? And have that list determined, you know, either write it down or type it out in Word and then take that list and start executing and then dialing in. That's, that's what's been really helpful for me. So that might help some of, some of you.

Yeah. And so I wouldn't do it in Word, Jamie, but you're absolutely right. I would do it in ChatGPT, right? I'd say, hey, here's what I wanna do. Here's what I wanna build. Just like we did, you know, yesterday, right? I want to build a system, a phone system that uses AI to call and do this, or I want to build an AI system that does this and posts to social media for me or whatever. It would know, hey, you can use HeyGen. HeyGen is an AI platform that I just pulled up here that can speak. All of these videos that you see here are all AI. Everything is. Let's just go to use cases. And we'll try video ads. I want to, I want to find an actual

example. Can you use your, your photo of you?

Absolutely. Yeah, you can completely restart

yourself. Talk about creating video ads. You know the traditional way, setting up cameras, doing multiple takes, spending hours on editing. With HeyGen, you can skip all that and create professional videos in minutes. Plus, You can easily make different versions to test what works best. Let me show you how it works. First, let's start with your message. If you already have a script, you can just input it directly here. If you're starting from scratch, you can use our AI script generator. Just describe what you want to say about your product, and it'll help you create an engaging script in

seconds. And it's just using ChatGPT to do

that. Avatar library is like having a casting agency at your fingertips. With professional avatars, lifestyle avatars, and more. Want to create your own digital twin? You've got 3 awesome options. First, record yourself for just 2 minutes. Just talk naturally and we'll create your digital twin. Second, upload your photos and let us transform them into a speaking avatar. Or describe what kind of presenter you want and we'll generate one for you. Let me focus on photo avatars for a moment because they're particular Pretty cool,

huh? Yeah, that's very cool. So yes, you can absolutely automate this, and I'm pretty dang sure that HeyGen has an API. I'm pretty— yeah, API docs right there. Boom. So that means you can automate this whole process because it has an API. Remember, guys, an API gives you access to systems. It connects one system to another. And so now you can automate this system through an API. You can tell it, hey, I want you to do this, and I want you to do that, and I want you I want you to post it over here and I want you to do that. Yeah, so you're starting to get, we're starting to get kind of ahead of ourselves a little bit, but we end, you know, we could talk about it for a minute here. N8N is a very advanced system. I'm not going to go over N8N in this platform or in this class, but I will just mention it, right? This would probably be something we would go over in a more advanced course, right? Or maybe more if we do a community, this would be, hey, we're covering N8N and automations today, right? But it's pretty self-explanatory, right? You're going to basically say, okay, hey, here, let's do a sales one. We'll do a sales one. This is good, right? When I get a review, right, then do this, put it here, put it here, open this, respond to this, make that happen, right? Let's convert natural language into API calls, enrich security things. Hey, a new issue happens here. This is what— where it went. This is what we're going to check on. We're going to merge this report. We're going to end it in some system for your company, right? Um, there's also so, so, so, so, so many more here. Um, lead automation, limitless, supercharged security. Let's try lead automation. Okay, everyone wants more leads, right? So when a contact is created, get the contact email address, validate it. If the email is suspicious, send a Slack or whatever, right? Um, so you can enrich those leads, finding the email stuff, right? You can set up automated actions. When this, if this, then this, then that, then that, then And it's basically, basically what this is, guys, is really just a system that allows you to create workflows with APIs. Okay. Now, just a couple of weeks ago, Replit added this button, agents and automations. So cool. Select a trigger event for your agent, a Telegram message or a time-based thing or a Slack message or whatever it is, right? So they have just a few integrations right now. But they're building tons more so that you can connect to Asana. Look at these, these are all the connectors actually that you can already sign into, right? Asana, Box, Confluence, Discord, Dropbox, GitHub, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Jira, Linear, Notion, OneDrive, Outlook, Resend, SendGrid. SendGrid is for emails, as I mentioned yesterday. Spotify, Twilio, YouTube, right? You can create unbelievable and nearly endless types of automations and integrations very natively here inside of Replit. And so Replit is trying to take on N8N. That's what's happening, right? They're saying, hey, you know what, a lot of people are using N8N to create these things. We can do that too, right? And so, um, and, and I've known that for a long time. I've just done it manually, right? But they're just making it easier and easier. Another way you can build, by the way, if you want to import a code or design, right? Anybody ever designed anything in Figma? Figma is like a— yeah, Ben, you probably have. A couple people probably have. But Figma is an amazing system that's— see if I can log in here. I'm pretty sure I've got— you know what, I don't know if I have anything in this one. But anyway, bottom line is Figma allows you to design really cool stuff. Think of it like Canva. Right. I know a couple of you use Canva, right? But Figma is for more complex things like websites and stuff like that. Yeah. This is not the one I'm going to open up. Echo's app. And I even have a Figma open over here. So one app that I wanted to create, um, was, it was like a travel social network, right? And I wanted to make this, this is how I discovered Replit. Okay. And I had paid some people over in, you know, I don't know, somewhere on, on Fiverr, right. To create. Some, you know, designs for me, for my, my social platform. I like basically everything in this whole design except for this. My wife says this looks kind of like the Friend, which, you know, is fun. But anyway, so you've got, you know, create new Echo. So you're going to upload this memory of a place you visited somewhere in the world, right? And then you would see on the map all the places you've been, and then you can share your map with other people and, you know, show off all these cool places you've been. Super cool. But I can actually take this design. I can take this link and I can drop it into Replit. And yeah, so I just click right here and I literally just log in with Figma and then connect the project and it will build that design. Right. Amazing. Right. You can also find Figma. There's tons of Figma templates. We're going to close out of this one. Um, you can all, yeah, you can go to Figma templates and start. So if you want to kind of. Focus more on your design first, which a lot of people do, right? Then you can say, hey, you know what, I'm going to build out the kind of experience and then Replit will just make the whole thing come to life and make all the buttons work, right? Because right now Figma is only design. If I click here, you know, I can't do anything, right? It's just, it's just a, it's just a visual

picture. Yeah, it doesn't work, right? So other than websites, what can you create in Figma?

Anything. PDFs, PowerPoints, presentations, all kinds of stuff. Yeah. Figma is a, is a just a beautiful design, um,

place. Kind of like the Canva on

steroids. Oh, I did not want that. I want that. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's, that's really what it is. Here we go. So, okay. Log in. I am, oh, you know what? I'm not logged in. That's why it's freaking out here.

Okay. Is it easier to use or is it

more— I would say it's more advanced. Yeah, more advanced. Yeah. But it's definitely more powerful, right? It's, it's way more powerful, right? But maybe you want to build, you know, here's a couple other types of

things. Resource address community. So it's got some

templates. Yeah, tons of templates, right? So you can start with, you know, all kinds of cool stuff. Here's a product launch page. Here's this kind of thing. Here's like presentations, whiteboarding websites, you know, design resources., right? Resume templates, portfolio templates, cards and invites, right? So it's got a lot of the type of stuff that you might find inside of there. But, but anyway, so pretty cool, pretty cool stuff here. I wonder if they have classes and like Canva has classes to learn how to use that. There are so many, Figma resources. This is a major enterprise-level design system. It's a multi, multi, multi— I don't even know how many billions of dollars it's worth. It might be Figma stock price, aren't they? I thought they got purchased too, didn't they? No, they just went, they just went public. They just went public. That's right. I bought their, I got in on their IPO. I applied to get on their IPO. They let me buy 4 shares for $30. It was like way oversubscribed. I barely, I, you know, I got nothing, but I made, you know what, 30, 20. I mean, I've made $80. I'm rich, guys. So anyway, yeah, I went in, I probably bought a few more, but anyway, they're worth $25 billion. Yeah, they're a big-time company. Yeah. So absolutely, there's tons of resources, Laura. So, but anyway, that's, that's a pretty cool way to do that. Also, maybe you just want to import GitHub, right? You want to, you want to do something from another project that was built by developers in a more traditional way. And then Lovable and Bolt. This is just, you know, like middle finger to these guys because Lovable and Bolt are direct competitors to Replit. Here's Lovable, lovable.dev. Does this look familiar? Ask Lovable to create whatever. Hey, build me a weather app. It will just build it. It's just like Replit, bolt.new, same

thing. Hey, type your idea, build me a weather

app. Those both are found in Replit? No, well, they're not found in Replit. These are competitors to Replit, but what you can do is you can take a project you've made in Bolt, or in Lovable, and you can migrate it over to here to say, hey, migrate your site to make it production

ready. I love that. Migrate right there where those four

things— this is in Replit. Yeah, this is in, yeah, this is in Replit. And so you just go to home, right? Um, oh, and oh, it's import. It's right here. Yeah. So create app, it's import. Okay. Yeah, you import a code or design, and I'm sure this list will continue to get longer as it gets better and

whatever. But you have a separate account count for Lovable and

Bolt. Yeah, those are totally— they're not related to Replit in any way, shape, or form. They're just saying, hey, because one of the things that— one of the reasons why I love Replit over Lovable or Bolt is because I feel like Replit helps you get all the way to be able to launch, right? I'm, you know, I'm running an awesome business through this, right? And I hear tons of people that say, yeah, I got it like 70% of the way there. Like, I have a design, but I couldn't quite publish it with Lovable. I couldn't quite get there to Bolt. And so it's saying, hey, let's make it production ready, let's finish it and get it live for your customers. Right. And so they're just saying, look, we can help you, we can help you come over here. So that's just a competitive posting for them. Okay. So anyway, we've kind of bounced around with a few things here, guys, going from how to create agents. But you can see that basically these agents are all created the same way. Hey, look, I just got a purchase. It's made $1,200. I'll take it. Looks like they used a discount code, so that's cool. That for your next class? It is. Yeah, I just set it up. Yeah, I just set it up. This was the dates on that. That's on the 20th. I'm doing the next one. I'm going to do on the 22nd and 23rd. I'm doing a Wednesday, Thursday class. So anyway. So in 3 weeks, 3 weeks from today, because like I said, I might take the next one depending on— and before you sign up for that for real, I will give you— I will absolutely give you a good discount code. Okay, so I have, I have had people— you wouldn't be the first person to take this course multiple times, right? And so super happy to have you in again. You ask great questions and you're helping everybody learn better. Okay, but, but what I was saying here, guys, is this, you know, when you get into building these agents or all these AI things, you're starting to see that almost all AIs work the same. They have some knowledge that their brain, and we can't really affect that piece. Then you can give it instructions, and then you give it some interface, whether that interface is text or voice or video or whatever it is. You can do all these cool different things, but they basically all work the same. Once you understand that structure, Then you can just start playing and, you know, experimenting and going in deeper, right? And if you get confused, you're like, I want to use this thing, I'm going to figure this out, I don't know how to do it. We'll just talk to ChatGPT about it and it'll walk you through step by step, right? And if you want to integrate something you don't quite understand, great, go to Replit. Hey, I want to integrate this new idea. What do you think? What's the best way to do this? And I have to show this. I showed you earlier, guys, inside of Replit where you can say, hey, I have this or, you know, I'm trying to figure this thing out. Don't write any code. Just tell me. I actually talked to Replit about this and they listened to me and they built a cool feature. Look at this build or plan. Now you can just click plan right here, right down here in the— in where you're talking to the agent. You can tell it build, right? It's going to mean it's going to lean towards action. You can still say don't write, don't write any code, just tell me. But now you can just ask a question, right? Plan your work, right? And by the way, you could— when it's planning, this is actually a little trick— when it's planning, put it into the higher-level capabilities, uh, right? Because it's going to be very, very cheap. It's not writing code, it's just reading a bunch of stuff. It's going to think— see, look at this— expands review scope to entire app. It's going to consider the whole app and that's why it takes longer. It's because it has to read everything and be like, okay, does this make sense? Should I do this? I'm going to break that system. I can't touch that. That's how this is connected, right? It's going to do all that thinking so fast, obviously, but do here and let it just figure this out. Then you say, okay, I want to add this new feature. What should we do here? Then it's got this beautiful plan, switch back to build, change this back to medium or high or whatever and say do the plan, right? And now it's considered the greater context in its plan, and now it can go in and do this. Guys, this can absolutely replace developers if used right, if used correctly. Right now it still requires a decent amount of like taking this course and understanding and working with someone who spent thousands of hours in here right? Um, a lot of people try these systems and they fail, and they say, ah, real developers are still winning, you know, you can't fix it. And even developers, smart developers, will get in here and they'll fail because they just, they haven't figured out how to massage the system to get all the way through. Okay, and then there's lots of people that have built amazing things, right? And I've been able to figure out how to build amazing things with it. This will get easier and easier. Right now we're in V3, we're in Agent 3 right now. Okay, um, Agent 7 will be so much easier, so much more powerful. Its context will be 10 million characters instead of 1 million that it currently is, or whatever, right? It's going to be able to do so much more. It might be a billion characters by V7, actually, but it's going to be smarter and smarter and smarter and smarter and smarter until it's so easy to create software that anyone can do it without even having to take this course. Right now. Even then, you're still, you know, there's still things you need to understand, like what is the database and how do we deal with development and production and what is publishing and, you know, am I doing API keys right? And there's still— I still think this isn't going to be just super, super easy for anyone to do without a little bit of training, but it's going to get easier, right? If you come back a year from now and take this course, it would be— or whatever course I might be offering at that time, we probably are going to be looking at different tools, different things. So, all right, guys, let's take a 10-minute break. It's 10:50. We've done a lot of stuff. Let's come back at 11 and we're going to have our surf, don't swim discussion. Okay. So I will just kind of pause the screen and everything here and I'll see you guys in 10 minutes. All right guys, welcome back. Gotta refill my water. You guys get back in. One thing I love about living out here in West Mountain is that all of our sinks, everything, all our water comes straight out of the well. So good. So even just like going to the bathroom sink and filling up a cup tastes amazing. I love well water. All right, so we got 2 more hours, guys. Um, time flies in this class, does it not? You're learning about fun stuff. I know you probably are like, oh my gosh, 8 hours of Zoom, like I'm going to die, you know, but it flies by. It flies by really fast. Do you have your schedule for your classes for the rest of the year? I

don't. I don't schedule them out until I'm basically at the next one because I can't do it on those two dates.

So. I'll look at November. That's okay. We'll figure it out. And I probably am, Laura, going to do an advanced one at some point in the next couple months before the end of the

year. I'll do one. I don't know if I'm ready for an advanced

one. You know, I understand why you say that. I think advanced would just look at more— it would look at more platforms. We would spend longer going deeper maybe into Replit. Do that. Yeah. These other ones and like maybe, maybe we'd actually put together, you know, a full voice agent sales, you know, do all the connections instead of just talking about it actually like, hey, we're going to work through it. Maybe everyone builds their own for their own use case or

whatever. That would be fun. Now, do you, because we're part of this class, are we going to be on like a newsletter to let us know when the other classes

or? Yeah, I probably should. I know. I mean, I have all your emails. I have all that stuff I

sent. So I sent out— I had to create

a— I know something. I know. That's the funny thing, guys, is remember, I didn't set out to like— this wasn't part of my business. It's kind of been like a bonus part. And so, I mean, obviously I really love it and I'd like to keep it going. And I also really love— the thing I love about it is I've gotten to know amazing people, right? Like hundreds of people have sat where you guys are and And I've gotten to know everybody just in the same way I've gotten to know you. And so, I've actually maintained good relationships with a huge amount of people. I would say 100 of those people, because at the end of this course, I'm going to give you all my cell phone number and text me, ask me questions. You have access to me on Facebook in that group, on my, you know, be, you know, connect with me on LinkedIn, whatever. I'm happy to have you be part of my— just, I know you now, right? Like, it's awesome. So, and then many, many people actually have, you know, hired me, right, to actually work with their companies and things like that too. And so, I've worked even closer with those people. So, uh, anyway guys, let's dive in. Looks like we've lost Ben. Ben, you there? Ben might just be, um, still getting his drink, so that's

fine. Um, well, I'm here. I'm gonna turn off my camera though so I don't eat in front of you

guys. That's totally fine. Um, so this next section actually is a, uh, normally we would have the camera on section, but it's totally fine if you're eating. You keep it off. All right, you're good. Um, but we're going to just have just a kind of another group discussion here about, um, this concept of surfing versus swimming. And this concept is really, really important for, um, surviving a technology shift. That's really what it's about, right? And so it's going to be about AI because that's the technology shift that we're in, but it's, um, But it applies to— it applies to all kinds of things. It applies to all kinds of things. So let's talk about what it means. Anybody here ever, um, not swam in the ocean? Anybody not swim in the ocean? Okay, so you all know how powerful the ocean is. All right, so AI is the biggest wave ever. It is a tsunami. It is a massive tsunami, okay, that is coming in, and it is going to absolutely destroy so many businesses and so many jobs and so many things, right, for the people that are still swimming, right? And if you're swimming when a tsunami comes, you're going to get pulled out to sea. It's— or you're going to get smashed into a building or a rock, and it's not going to feel great, okay? If you're surfing, however, you're going to sit right on top of that, right? And you're going to do great. Anybody know how much more powerful a tsunami is than a human in terms of like the amount of energy that it's capable of creating or expanding? You probably don't know. You could ask ChatGPT, but the answer is roughly— and I know this depends on the human and the tsunami— but it's roughly 4 billion times stronger. Okay, um, bottom line is you're not going to overpower it, right? I'm a whitewater kayaker and I, I have kayaked in big, big rivers that have 60,000 CFS, cubic feet per second, right? And I've also kayaked in small rivers that have literally 30 cubic feet per second, right? And gone off waterfalls and those types of things. Guess what? I have never won a battle against water in 60,000 CFS or 30 CFS. It can— it's going to push me downstream every time. It's going to push me over. It's going to keep me under. It's going to push me. I have a great story. But you can— I can tell maybe— anyway, the short of it is I almost drowned in Little Cottonwood Canyon because I tried to kayak it and got pushed up against some trees and flipped over, and literally an angel pulled me out. I was upside down underwater, and then all of a sudden I'm on the bank, and I don't remember how that happened. So anyway, pretty cool story. But bottom line is water never stops. It never gives up. It's extremely powerful. And so AI is, in this case, the tsunami. It's the water. It's not going to stop. It is going to keep going. You know, we listened to Eric Schmidt yesterday talking about how fast it's going to grow. And I think it's actually going faster. You know, he said by the end of one— he said by one year from now, AI will be able to outdo any mathematician out there, top-level PhD mathematicians. It did that a couple of months ago. It won first place in a major math competition. It can outdo any mathematician in the world at this point. That's crazy. That's crazy. It only took like 4 months from when he said it would take a year. It's going faster than we think. Okay, so now let's try to identify what it means to surf versus swim in the business world. Um, let's talk about Netflix. What kind of business is Netflix? What do they do? Entertainment subscription. Entertainment subscription. Yeah, these are probably all going to be right answers, guys, so don't be afraid. What, what else do they do? Subscription, entertainment. What's their, what's their secret sauce? They also do

production. Okay, production material, definitely

good. Um, providing access to lots of content at low price. Okay, that's a good summary of what they do. Still not their secret sauce. What is the thing that makes them really— what's the thing that sets them apart? Why would you invest in Netflix?

Exclusivity.

Exclusivity. Okay, cool. They've got, they've got some shows that are like really important, right? Like, I remember back when Netflix was the only place you could watch The Office, right? That was big time, right? There was a time when The Office was 5% of all internet traffic globally. Wow, that's crazy. That was back in like, I don't know, 2008 or something, but Yeah. Anyway, it's their content suggestion engine. That's actually their secret sauce, right? They didn't invent streaming. They didn't invent multimedia. They didn't invent having a studio that, you know, they don't own most of their really awesome shows. They own some, right? But the reason that they are so good at it, did you know that at any given time, there's somewhere between 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of content content on Netflix. Okay, have you ever gone to, uh, like an Airbnb and you log into their net— you know, you turn on the TV and it's logged into some random person's Netflix account and you're like, I'm uncomfortable, where am I? And you're like, log out, log in. You know, you want to get back to your stuff, right? And that's because it knows very clearly that, you know, Mike watches weird stuff and Ben watches weird stuff, but they're your own weird stuff, right? I watch weird stuff too. No, actually, I'm pretty— I'm pretty normal, probably. But anyway, bottom line is, um, you know, there's, there's, uh, that's, that's their magic, right? But let's ask this question: did they invent the internet? No. Do they invest in the internet getting better? Not really. No, I don't think so. Does their service get better if the internet gets better? Awesome. So now you can see we're going to talk a little bit about the difference between surfing versus swimming, right? They're surfing on the internet, not in the way that you would normally surf the internet. What I mean, right? They're surfing on the internet technology, right? Because as the internet gets better, so they're on top, they stay on top and it gets better too. They just ride up with it. Okay, now if they were trying to build a competitor to the internet, right, and then the internet gets better, the normal World Wide Web gets better, and they have Netflix Web, right, and they're having to build their own, you know, satellites and their own, you know, lines under the Atlantic Ocean over to Europe and all this stuff, right, like, internet gets better, they're going to be sinking, or, you swimming, right? They're going to get maybe bashed by this other thing that's way better funded. And, you know, so, so bottom line is the definition of surfing versus swimming. The definition of surfing is if the technology upon which you are built gets better, do you get better or do you get competitively worse, right? If you're built, or it's not only technology you're built on, built on or around, right? Um, if that technology gets better and you don't get better, right, then you're clearly not surfing. Okay, so let's look at another— let's look at another example. AT&T. Is AT&T a surfing company or a swimming

company? I'd say a swimming company. Why? Because they're— I don't think they're— I don't know that much about AT&T, but I think of all the other cellular providers. They're kind of just all in a pool there and they're in a race to add more value to customers with tech. And so it's just an ongoing trying to scale to that next level, I would, I would

say. You're right on the edge. You are correct that they are more of a swimming company. Now, obviously they have maybe some divisions that are surfing on the internet and stuff like that. But when we're talking about their phone business, Let's just talk about their phone business, right? Why can anyone else more, more maybe explicitly tell me why they are swimming? Starlink. That's good. Very good. Starlink is a competitor, a potential competitive replacement of their technology, right? But let me back up just a little bit. They— and we'll talk about Starlink in a second. And you're actually good because that's my next point. Point. So you're, you're moving in the right direction and understanding this. AT&T has to invest in their own infrastructure, right? They have billions of dollars at risk at any given time because they have all these cell towers, and every time it goes from 3G to 4G to LTE to 5G to 6G to 20G, right, they have to spend billions of dollars to upgrade their whole network, right? So yes, what could put them out of business? Starlink. Yeah, if Starlink gets better. Yeah, they're— now, can everybody, can everybody surf, or do there have to be some swimmers? Not everybody can surf, but, well, someone's got to build the

infrastructure. If you had somebody helping you on their board and kind of pushing you, you might surf, but theoretically, really surfing and cutting waves and things like that Not everybody can do

that. Yeah, not everyone can do that. That's exactly right. Now, if you guys want to go and build a swimming company, totally fine, right? There's nothing wrong with that. The creators of, you know, Elon Musk is swimming in creating Starlink, right? He absolutely is. And he's a genius. And that's why he's going to be the first trillionaire, right? It's going to happen. But, but the bottom line is when you're a startup or you're trying to be a really savvy company, okay, remember, this is how to build a business in a weekend with AI. We're really generally talking about more the startup side of things. But even with BOSS, who's been around for a long time, you can choose to surf on technologies or you can try to build your own, right? And it's way, way less risky to surf on other people's technologies. Even though you are a little bit beholden to those technologies, right? What if their technology— what if you build something on ElevenLabs and ElevenLabs goes down? Okay, well, luckily in this highly competitive free market, there's usually competitors, and so you could just switch to TwelveLabs or, you know, whatever. I don't know if there's a TwelveLabs, but the point is you can switch to another AI voice provider and you just swap out an API key and you can pretty much keep doing the same thing. Okay. All right, I'm going to show you one more type of surfing. Just share my screen here, and we're going to come over to Facebook, and we're going to— there's Travis Chambers, that's the Outpost X guy, he's speaking at Bid Summit, that's cool. All right, we're gonna look up my mom. This is my mom's Facebook, and she's got this cool elephant thing and all these bear videos and stuff. Now my mom is She's about— what is she, 63? I think she's 63. She's not an influencer type person or whatever, right? But about 2 years ago she said, hey, you know what, I travel a lot, I've got all these cool videos and things of whatever. And, you know, she posts, you know, her granddaughters do and all that kind of stuff. But I'm just going to start posting videos and pictures. You know, she's a photographer, right? I'm just going to start posting every day. I'll post once a day. Or twice a day. Okay, and so she just started posting these, you know, these things, right? Look how many, like 36 comments, 145 shares, 2,000 likes on this one, right? And not everyone goes crazy, right? But she now, in 2 years, I promise you she had like 300 friends 2 years ago, guys. Look at this, 9.2 thousand likes. I wonder how many views this has. I can't even see. But look at how many followers she has now. Wait for it. 803,000 followers. That's crazy. She makes $20,000 to $30,000 a month passively. Wow. Isn't that crazy? All she does, the only thing she does is post videos. She has no sponsorships. She doesn't do anything. She is the least business-minded person you could ever find. She's the best mom ever, right? But that's— business is not the thing that she wants to do. And she'd say it right now. She, like, I say, hey, look, you have— 800,000 followers, you could go out and make 5 times what you're making with sponsorships and things like that and get, you know, sponsored posts. She's like, I don't want to, I want to just take pictures and post them. Like, all right, she monetized that

though. Facebook pays her based on the views. Oh, Facebook pays

her? Oh my God, she makes $20,000 or $30,000 a month because she gets checks from Facebook, right? I make $1,000 to $2,000 a month on Facebook, Facebook, Instagram, all my different things, right? And I post all the time. And I taught her how to do this and she's way past me. It's ridiculous and kind of maddening for me, but it's— you're going to show us how to do this now? Yeah. Yeah. No. So, I mean, I can certainly show you how to do— I showed her how to do it. It's just that she happened to hit some niche that just worked and it just kind of blew up. But here's the important thing. Is she surfing or swimming? She's surfing. Yes, absolutely. Does she invest in Facebook? Like, maybe she has stock in Facebook. That's not what I mean. Does she invest in making Facebook better? No, she, she shows up consistently. Yeah, she shows up, so she's investing that kind of thing, right? But she is surfing their technology. If the internet gets faster, does her stuff become more accessible? Yes. If the internet becomes more available in different places, does, does she make more money? Yes. If the algorithms get better and, you know, promote her content to more people who like elephants, does she make more money? Yes. So she has zero investment, right, from at least her, her business thing right now. Obviously she spends lots of money going to Africa or to us or to, uh, yeah, to Australia or to India or to Alaska to get her pictures and videos. And she has $20,000 cameras, although the videos that have gotten— she has some videos that have 500 million views. Like just ridiculous viral stuff. And those videos, most of the videos, as you can see, are all taken with another thing she's surfing on— her phone. Her phone and the amazing cameras and technologies that Apple works on and all the people that work together to make that amazing thing, right? So guys, find technologies that you can surf on. So let's talk about my buddy Jeremy and his, you know, his retirement thing, right? He's got this solution now where he has AI do the outreach, he has AI set the appointments with the nurses, right? The nurses just, hey Betty, when do you want to do this? Oh, let's do it Thursday at 2. Looks like you've got a good time slot there, right? He has AI make the phone calls, he attaches 11 labs to it, and AI just does everything. He can go to the Grand Canyon for 2 weeks and those calls are all happening, new ones are being scheduled, everything's being done automatically. Exactly. He's set up AI everything. So he's got this little web of just AI systems. And if a better email system comes out, or a better voice agent comes out, or a better phone system comes out, or whatever it is, he can just swap that. So you can hot swap it out, right? And he— all he does is swap an API key, tells his little agent, hey, fix this thing. Now, Jeremy is a, a developer, a skilled developer. He made all of his money back in the back in the dot-com bubble, right? So, he learned how to code back in the '80s and '90s and then was just a hotshot kid back then and made a bunch of money and he ended up buying a retirement home. So, he knew in Kansas City in 2006 or so, he bought a retirement home. And so, he happened to know, hey, insurance pays for real people to come in and talk to my people and there are companies out there that have real people get on the phone with old people and talk to them. He's like, why don't I just make an AI version of this? I'll eliminate all the cost of humans, right? His total cost to deliver every month with his million-dollar business— he's making $80,000 to $100,000 a month right now— his total cost is less than $1,000 because he has no employees. It's just a bunch of API credits, right? Unbelievable, guys. Unbelievable. I want this to inspire you, and I want you to think about your businesses and how you can make sure you're surfing and not swimming, right? If the technology gets better, Ryan and Tyson, you guys are, are here and you're brilliant for being here, for thinking about this, right? And you're saying, hey, we want to lead from the top. We want to make sure we know what's going on and then we're going to help push this out, right? To the rest of our company. But you have to be asking the question, how is somebody with AI going to beat us, right? How is somebody with AI going to make their services cheaper, better, stronger, better returns, faster returns, better communication, better customer service, better whatever? All of the things that you do, how are they going to beat us? And then you got to beat them, right? And you gotta, you gotta consider How do we surf on other technologies that are out there? The idea here is, guys, how much money has Jeremy with his retirement phone caller, um, how much money has he invested in starting that business? $1,000, right? Nothing, right? A few dollars, right? $1,000 a month on credits now that it's up and running, but He had to pay $5 for 11 labs to get it set up. He had to pay, you know, whatever it is for his phone number, right? But his risk, his total risk as an entrepreneur in this venture is hundreds of dollars. Okay, how many people, how many of you guys know, right? I'm one of them, so you can say you know at least one. How many people do you know that have gone and raised $100,000 or $1 million or $10 million and then watch that company blow it. Ben and I had a great conversation last week. He worked for a company that raised $26 million. They raised $18 million before they had any customers. They spent— they spent— they spent $18 million before they had any customers. Okay, that is the way things used to work, guys. Okay, that is officially the past. With AI and the things you have learned in this course so far, and then we'll continue to talk about for the next 90 minutes, you don't have to risk time and you don't have to risk money, which are the two most valuable things right, that people risk when they're starting a business, right? Takes forever to come up with ideas and then find teams and hire dev shops and, you know, hire people and all this stuff. And then you got to invest money in all of those things. Time is money, money is time, right? And so now AI can do all this stuff for pennies, and there's systems out there that can automatically do all this stuff. Now, you still, even if you can build your MVP for virtually risk-free. Okay, you still have to then go to the next step to actually make money, which is sales and marketing. We're going to jump into that next here. But before we jump into sales and marketing and how to make money, um, any questions or thoughts or comments on this,

Surf? I have a, I have a thought. I'd love to get your opinion and the group's opinion. But, um, I've been having a lot of conversations with companies recently who are looking at this AI transformation for their organizations and. And many of them I've heard are scared or worried about, you know, having to lay people off and that kind of thing. And of course, that's a possibility. But when I'm meeting with the leaders of these businesses, I'm trying to get them to expand their thinking and say like, well, instead of considering how many people this might replace, I think of, well, imagine if you could keep your business as is and grow exponentially with the exact same staff. So instead of saying like, I guess if you're losing money, right, you might have to cut costs, I get that. But if you're doing okay and you start implementing these services, that doesn't necessarily immediately threaten anybody's job in your business. What it does is it offers, I think, more potential and expansion opportunity with a very similar size staff, but a massive expansion opportunity. So that's, that's where I'm trying to go with this. In my mind. And of course, people will lose jobs and industries will change and it will be affecting. But generally speaking, for small businesses, I'm trying to get business owners to think about expansion and growth as opposed to layoffs. And I just, I'm just curious, like, what are your— you know, I'm not a— currently I'm not a big business owner. I'd be curious what people think about

this. Jon and the Thacker brothers and everybody. And the way we think about it is impact. How do we impact an industry and how many people can we help? That's why we're here. And, you know, we mentioned yesterday that we've got around 100 team members. Even if there were pieces of, of, you know, like for instance, we've got schedulers who set up appointments for all of our advisors. You know, it's very clear that we could use ElevenLabs to replace those schedulers, but we wouldn't replace them. We'd, we'd repurpose them and create another opportunity for them. But instead of, you know, we'll, we'll create, um, you know, 12,000 leads this year, how do we, how do we create, how do we talk to more people and create 120,000 leads? And how many more people does that represent that we help because of that? I love that. Love to hear I've just got a comment on, uh, surf and swim. Number one, Jon, I almost died in Big Cottonwood Canyon. So, in the river? Yeah, in the river. I hit my head on a rock and I was unconscious. And next thing, I mean, I thought I was dead, but it was— I was a junior in high school, um, between my summer

beat. It was spring runoff between my junior and senior

year. So I was 17. Yeah, same story, similar experiences. And, um, when I came to, the guy who pulled me out was not around. So same, same thing. Very interesting. What, um, and but back in 2012, uh, we had a consultant that came in. We were just building, um, BOSS and we needed a database. We were looking around at all the different CRMs that were out there and we decided we needed to build one that was custom and the opening bid was $250,000. And we were like, no. And then they were like, and that's the start. And then it's going to go and scale from there and design out this custom site. And so we ended up using a technology in FusionSoft that was $49 a month. Yeah. And, you know, we've scaled from zero to almost $4 billion, in sales off of that software that we've paid very little for, customized and things from there. But it's just, there's so many— that's how we've grown efficiently. A lot of times people ask us, how have you grown so quickly? Because if you look at our size, um, there's a lot of companies that have been in business 30, 40, 50 years, and we've surpassed them in a very short period of time. And that's— it's surfing. There's a great— we love the Founders Podcast. Todd Graves, the founder of Raising Cane's, he has a— you know, he— all he does is chicken fingers. And if you want a chicken sandwich, it's just 3 chicken fingers on a bun. I mean, it's so simple, simple. And he says simplicity scales. Yeah. Complexity just bogs you down. And so I, I think I love the, the surf, and

we've— you've done it. Yeah, we've used it for sure. Yeah, I love it. Well, I'm glad that hopefully maybe I just gave you a word that you can use as you talk to your team about how you're going about doing things and, and how you're going to continue to do things, right? Clearly you're here to learn to surf AI, right? And how can we, how can we, you know, take that next $49 move instead of the $250,000 move? But guys, man, that is— what a great story, Ryan. Like, that's, that's how it is. There's so many people that have this ego problem where they say, but I want it to do this exactly, and this isn't perfect. And so they make the $250,000 investment, they might have the cash, and then they realize, you know, and maybe it works, you know what, but like, you guys did it with $49 and you got to go on vacation to Lake Powell 20 times instead, right? I mean, you had that money to do whatever else you wanted to do with it, right? You didn't have to go spend it on a dang piece of to software. And now we're in a world where software is almost free, right? It's almost free. And in a couple years from now, it's basically going to be free. It's, it's really, really incredible, um, what we're in here. I want to go back to what Ben asked about the replace versus, you know, improve, and, and that Tyson had a great comment on as well. Um, you know, a question that we have to ask ourselves as AI comes into the world to to, you know, replace us in a lot of what we've done, right? I mean, how many people, how many jobs out there right now can be replaced by AI today, right? Let alone 5 years from now, right? Call center jobs. You guys just saw how we could make a whole call center. We could replace 200 people in a week. Schedule easy. Yeah, the, the schedule. Um, you know, the one, the one-person McDonald's is being— is almost ready, right? And that's obviously involving robotics as well because you got to flip some burgers, right? But it's just this, right? Are we— and so the question that you, that you have to ask is, if all of these jobs are replaced, even, even higher level jobs, right? There's a lot of people— there's people making right now AI CEOs, right, that just help make better decisions. And I can argue that on both sides, right? Some of a CEO's job is to just organize and do stuff around. But what about the strategy side and the creation side and the compassion side that cares, Tyson, about people and how do we serve more people? And obviously you can train, you can create a prompt to have an AI be compassionate or to act compassionate. Maybe it can't be because it's not a being, but it can imitate, right? But anyway, bottom line is, when you have AI and robots that can replace humans at this scale, well then, what does it mean to be human? What does it really mean? Like, what's our purpose if everything that we've done to make money for the history, for all the history of time, right, can now be done by machines? Today or maybe 20 years from now, right? Whatever, right? I mean, I know there's a lot of things still— we've got a long way to go before the whole world is automated, but there's almost no job that I can think of that an AI or a robot can't do better, cheaper, faster, stronger, right? Now, it can't all be done today, but we could write on the whiteboard, we could write out the PRD, as Jamie said, right? We could Hey, here's how you would do that. Now someone's got to come up with the technology to go, to go build this and figure it out. But what does it mean to be

human? What are we supposed to do now? I've got one comment. So Tyson and I have been doing this for a couple of years now where we're just, we're so curious and alert of what's going on. We went to an AI conference 2 years ago, almost exactly. In Chicago, and, you know, the, the guy had been working on AI for 10 years for Apple and Microsoft and Google, and his opening 90-minute talk was, all of you are going to be out of business in 18 months. Um, I've got a, uh, one of my mission companions was the head AI guy of radiology for Stanford University, and Obviously, 2 years later, we're still in business. Most of the people in the conference are still in business. It hasn't, hasn't completely replaced everybody, but it's getting faster. But the thing that I always remember about that conference is, um, he said after working on this, this is day 2, he's like, there's really only one way you're going to survive, and it is to become uniquely more human. And, um, He said, and there's one word that I boiled this down to, because it's— and he showed a phone call with his parents that was an AI bot that was for 30 minutes, and they had no idea that they were not talking to him. They thought it was— they thought it was, you know, he's like, if you can fool your parents, you can fool anybody. And he's like, you won't be able to trust your eyes, you won't be able to trust your ears, but there is one thing that's uniquely human, and the one word is discernment. And if you have, if you have discernment, you'll be able to understand what's real and what's fake. And I think that's the era we're definitely going into. And it's an exciting time too, because we're gonna, we're going to repurpose what we're doing. We're going to get really clear on, on with discernment of why we're actually

here. Yeah, yeah, it's very easy to get more spiritual in this conversation too, and we won't do that on this course, but But the bottom line is, yeah, discernment, right? Other people might call listening to the spirit, right? It's going to become more and more important in our lives, right? It really will be. You won't be able to believe the news. You won't be able to believe social media. You won't be able to believe it. I mean, we're almost there. We are almost there. And, and I've seen many videos that have been put out there, even, you know, just as recent as yesterday. There was this huge flood coming in, like taking out a town and saying this was what was happening in the Philippines. Because there was a big earthquake there and whatever. And, uh, and so it was kind of relevant and timely, and, you know, it was this big thing, and it was in the news a little bit. But the video was completely fake. It was AI-generated, but it looks so real. And you're seeing all these— and there were— I'm not kidding you, there were 800,000 comments on it. Like, it was some ridiculous thing that had gone viral, and it's not even real, right? And most people had no idea that it wasn't real. And then there was— the comments are like, this is clearly AI, right? Some people are looking for it and they're looking, you know, they can see that one thing that's off or whatever. People are pretty good on the internet at figuring that out. But it's going to come to a point where you're not going to be able to tell, um, you know, just the pictures, images, videos, right? But AI is going to become more and more and more and more capable, and it's going to be able to outdo any of us in all of the things that we do. It can write music faster than me now. I have amazing— I have $50,000 of awesome stuff, and I have a whole lifetime of writing music experience behind me. AI can do it better than me now. It can. And it can do a million songs a day, literally, right? How am I supposed to compete with that? How do I compete with a million songs a day? Right now, roughly 40% of all songs uploaded to Spotify every day are made by AI. That's a big number, huh? Right? And literally, how am I supposed to compete with that? I can barely put out an album a year, 12 songs. You know, like, how am I supposed to compete with that? Now, obviously, there's some, there's some good answers of like, well, they know it's you, Jon, and they want to connect with humans and you're the brand. And yeah, I mean, obviously those are real things, right? We're going to talk about that now as we move into marketing. But, but, but yeah, you got to think about that. You got to think about your business that you're starting now, the ones that you're in now. What is, how is AI going to affect you? Not just now, how are we going to improve and automate and upskill and stay ahead of our competition? But what is this going to do to our industry in 5 years? What will retirement solutions, what will investing look like in 5 years? What will sales look like in 5 years? Why is someone going to buy from Danny instead of this superpowered bot that can make 1,000 calls a minute? We got to think about those things. Okay, so anyway, guys, I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do have lots of good questions, and I hope this course helps you just think about this stuff, right? So that you can then go and have these conversations with your teams, with your spouses, with your kids, with your friends, with your colleagues. A couple of us, we're going to be talking about these things at a BYU game this Friday. And so, you know, just be aware. Be aware of what's going on. It's good to be aware. This is how you stay ahead. This is how you navigate. And surf through the tsunami. Okay, all right, let's dive into— uh, thank you guys for the participation, great comments. I love hearing it all. I love the discernment stuff, Ryan. I love it. It's, it's great to— it's great to learn from, from other people too. I'm not, I'm not just here to teach, I'm really here to learn too. So, um, let's talk now a little bit about, um, we're gonna talk about marketing and sales, but we're going to do it through the lens agents. We're gonna, we're gonna— I'm gonna show you guys another agent, or maybe two systems. Okay, anybody here heard of Manus? Jamie, Ben, maybe a little bit? Okay, all right, we're gonna play with Manus here. Manus is cool. So if Replit is an agent that can build software, right? And remember what an agent is— it is an AI that can act autonomously towards a goal, towards a stated goal. Right. And then it uses chain of thought reasoning to put together a task list, and then it can operate towards those tasks. And Replit's pretty amazing because now you can turn on the app testing and you can even watch it. You've probably seen it right here in your, in your window where it's, it's clicking things and testing things and typing things and it's working autonomously as an agent. Okay, so that's built for software. Manus can do anything. It can do anything you can task it to, right? So let's, let's, let's look at something here. Do, do, do, do, do. I've got one. So the other day I had Dean Graziosi reach out to me and say, hey, Jon, I just did this Facebook Live. He did like a 10 or 15-minute Facebook Live about AI. And he said, Jon, here's the link to that Facebook Live. I want you to look at all the comments and I want you to tell me what people are thinking about AI. This was kind of just like a testing. He wanted to see what are people thinking? What are they afraid of? What are they excited about? What's going on? And there were like 1,500 comments on the post and he's like, just go read through it and report back to me what you find. And I was like, all right, Dean, I'll do that for you. No big deal. And so I was like, there's no way I'm doing that. No way I'm going to take the time, 3 or 4 hours to go and read 1,500 comments or even an hour to read 1,500 comments to just be able to then take a couple notes and say, all right, Dean, this is kind of what I felt, right? Some kind of subjective feedback. That's all I would have been able to really do. But I just said, look, I want you to— so I went and I copied, I did a little thing and I was able to expand all the comments, copied the whole thing, put it into a Word document that was 87 pages long. That's what I would have had to read. And I say, hey, just review all these, poorly formatted, all the data is there, what are they excited about, put together something for me, right? Put together a website so that I can, I can, I can present this data. Okay. And so it works for, I don't know, 15 minutes or so, and then summarizes it and then gives me this. And so like 15 minutes later I say, hey Dean, here's a link. I sent him this link And, and he's like, this is crazy. I had it exclude all the comments that were like, hey Dean, or like, hey, hey everybody, you know, but I didn't care about those. I cared about things talking about AI. There were 335 relevant comments. Here's the sentiment distribution, right? Some people are against AI, a lot of people positive, a lot of people are still trying to figure it out, right? Here's some executive summaries, whatever. Here's learning interests. People want to learn about prompting and this, and they don't care as much about productivity, but there's kind of the bar chart of the different topics people are caring about. AI usage levels, you know, here's most people are moderate, some little, a few people haven't really touched it. Some people are a lot, but most people are still just, again, trying to figure it out. Fears and excitements. Here's some things, top fears, actual quotes from who actually said it, right? What they're excited about. And then a few other key quotes that were, that were throughout that. But just, just imagine, right, you're the CEO, right, of your company today, right? Like Ryan or someone, right? And you're like, you ask somebody on your team to analyze something like that and they come back 15 minutes later with a website, right, that's beautifully formatted, all these fancy graphs that animate as they turn on, and it just looks awesome, right? I mean, how much better is this output than what most people are turning in, right, for their proverbial homework these days. You ask someone to do an assignment, you get some crappy useless thing that's hard to digest. AI should— you should require more of your people these days. You should say, look, this should be perfectly organized. You should have beautiful PowerPoints. You should have incredible things here because you can review You know, um, Danny, Scott asked me the other day, he said, hey, I've got like millions of, of emails and I don't know how to categorize all these. And he's getting complaints from his employees saying, you know, it's going to take forever, there's millions of things, and to categorize all these and try to get them organized into their different buckets. Well, guess what you can do now? Go into Manus, hand it the files, and you're done. Tell it what you want and it's done. Might take it 2 hours, but it'll be done, right? It can do anything. Let me show you an exact example of something like that. I had somebody reach out to me on LinkedIn a few months ago, and they said, hey, I want to take your course because, you know, I want to figure out a solution to be able to get all this HOA data out of the Utah registry website, and I think I can build a piece of software to do that. And I was like, you know, I'd love for you to take my course, but I've got an idea. Hang tight, right? And so I'm just going to keep scrolling up. Anyway, this was the message that I got all the way to right here. Okay. He sent me, he said, Utah has an HOA registry website. If you go there, you can search for HOAs by name, or you can just put one letter in and we'll pull everything that has that letter. When it pulls up the list of matches, you can click on each one, see the data, including names, addresses, sometimes email and phone numbers. I want something that can pull all that data. And so I literally copied his LinkedIn message. Message, pasted it here, and I said eliminate duplicates, provide a long and detailed CSV of all this information. Okay, and so here's the site, here's what it looks like. This is what he was dealing with. So I came in here and I obviously tested this and I said, all right, let's just enter the letter E. And yeah, thousands and thousands of results. Look at the scrolling on the right, right? That thing is tiny. It's going to take forever to get to the bottom here. So it's like, okay, there's a lot of data, but if you click on, you know, Cedars at Mill Creek, you shows who the chair is and their email and their phone number and their address and primary contact, all these different things, right? So awesome, very cool. So also, here's a, here's a bad thing. When I click back, it requires a form submission again. So I have to click refresh, continue. So imagine you're— yeah, and then I'm still stuck here. So I actually have to push back twice, I think. Anyway, bottom line is it is, it is, um, not easy to do, right? Imagine you're somebody who has to call these people, or you want to, or maybe you want to send out a bunch of emails to these people to try and pitch your product, right? And so in order to go through this and have a human do this, it might take, it might take a few days minimum, right? Might take 2 weeks to go through this depending on how many there are. And so I just said, all right, Manus, go, right? And so what it did is it actually, it has a context limit as well. And so it ran out of context. Text. But luckily it can take all of its progress and then continue the task. And so I just clicked inherit and continue. Okay, and then it did that again and again and again. Each of these took about 30 minutes, and by the time it was done, it delivered to me a nice beautiful CSV. Done. HOA name, city, address, state, zip, phone, primary email. Now I can just take this and upload it into MailChimp or whatever my system is. I'm ready to roll. 2,000— over 2,000 entries is what ended up happening. Huge, huge amount of data. And it did that in 2 hours with a grand total of me copy and pasting, writing 2 little things, and clicking inherit and continue 3 times. That's it, while I'm doing other work. And I grabbed this CSV and I just dropped it into the LinkedIn chat and I said, here you go, I did it for you. And he's like, what? How did you do this? He's like, can I pay you for this? I was like, dude, you're good. Don't worry about it. Um, you're welcome to come take my course anytime. He signed up right then for the course. So maybe that was just good sales on my part to just whip out that easy task and show the power of what I could do. But that wasn't why I did it. I was just like, look, I can do this for you, right? But if your employees, again, aren't showing up with websites to, you know, that are beautiful and showing analysis and sentiment analysis and all this stuff, and they're not— you give them a task like this and it— they take longer than a day to do it, or even an hour to do it, then you're just— your people aren't trained well enough yet, right? They need to be trained, right? Um, You got to open up people's minds on how to use these things and how to operate and think differently now that AI can do repetitive, mundane, boring tasks, right? But if there's a recipe to it, right, it can do it. And even if there isn't a recipe, the cool thing about Manus is it's able to do dynamic things, right? I could say, I could come to a new task, I could say, buy me a plane ticket. To Cabo that leaves tomorrow. I don't care what time. Use Delta. All right. Here's my username and password and payment info. Okay. And we'll talk about that for a second. Who here is worried about giving AI a username and password and a credit card? Anybody worried about that? Ryan, that's okay. Ben, a little bit. Okay, you guys are worried about it. Totally fine, totally reasonable. I understand why. Manus and ChatGPT are actually encrypted extremely well, right? Think Apple-style encryption, right? Um, these are private conversations to you. When it— when it— what it does is it actually spins up a new instance of a browser for you that is encrypted to your account. Yeah. This is crazy, right? Like, Danny, you want a. You want a good pitch deck for going out and selling, you know, Gen API and all the different things it does, right? I do, yeah. Well, I made this in like five minutes. Now, obviously you can go in and improve it and give it more information, right? But all I did was say, hey, go to Genaipi and make a presentation. Okay. So watch how easy that is here. us, right? And we're having to kind of open up the kimono. Here's access to my Gmail. Here's access to my Google Drive. Here's access to my credit card. You know, and it kind of feels weird, right? And so, I understand that. So, you have to personally, you know, do your research, do your reading, you know, talk to ChatGPT about it, read forums on Reddit, whatever you want to do. Understand the technology. I am okay to do it at this point. I will give it my information. I would give it my Social Security. Number. Okay, I know that it can't do anything with it, and it doesn't want to. The, the AI doesn't want to do that. It's not what it's built for. It wants to understand patterns. It wants to better serve. It wants to do that. It doesn't— it doesn't make— they don't make their money hacking other

people. That's not how they do it. Do you, do you exclude any reason there? You what? Do you, do you exclude Grok from mentioning that, like, versus

Manus? And no, um, Same, same tier, same thing. They don't care, Brock. Elon doesn't care about your Social Security number or your credit card. He doesn't care. He doesn't need it. He's the richest man in the world. He does not need your information. Okay? What he cares about is what you're talking about, the topic of what you're talking about and the patterns of how you're talking about it and the fact that you're a human talking to it. Right? He cares about that kind of stuff. So he cares about pattern recognition. More than he cares about, you know, like that's all he cares about. He does not care about your personal data. He didn't care when your birthday is, right? He didn't care about what your Social Security number is or how much your tax return was. He doesn't care. The only reason he would maybe care about that would be aggregated data, but he can get that from, from other places, right? So bottom line is though, it can do this. It can do this type of stuff. You can give it this and then it can navigate a site that isn't maybe programmed to work with AI. How does it do this? It does something called parsing. Let me just show what this looks like. There's a good screenshot in a video here. OmniParser

V2. Go

here. How it works is— okay, so we'll work— that is, this is how it works. Okay, so it's not actually reading the system and then like taking a screenshot and trying to figure things out. What it does is it actually grabs the elements, each of the elements and labels them. And then it can say, okay, I'm looking for something that says something like notifications. Oh, okay. There it is. Number 2. Right. And so it can then, it can then click on that. Okay, great. Let's click on that and let's go into here and okay, hey, now we need to do something most recent. Okay. We need to sort by this. Okay. I have these options. I can do this. And, and so it thinks really, really fast, way faster than a human can think, but that's really what it's doing. It's parsing the screen into a bunch of different little elements. So that it can then make a decision on what it needs to do. Okay, so that's how it works behind the scenes. You don't need to understand that super well, but I like to see like, how does it do that? How does it think through that? But, but with a system like Manus, you can really have it do anything. You know, I had it check on— I said, hey, I want you to do a complete cybersecurity assessment and, you know, cybersecurity risk, bugs, inconsistencies, report about GenAI API. And so here's again me going to a different LLM, a different system outside of Replit and saying, hey, I need you to objectively tell me what's going on with this site. Is it in good shape? And of course, it comes back with this beautiful PDF file here that, you know, it's— how many pages is this? 14-page assessment. Here's the limitations of the current assessment and why we can't do some things or whatever. But here's what we did. Here's what we did. A few things. We didn't do these advanced attack vectors on this report. And of course, because it can and, you know, it's cool, it also, you know, built a website report for me as well. Boom, my GenAI security analysis based on all the things it could do. A+ security. Here's some vulnerabilities. Here's your performance. Here's the test pass. Here's a few places maybe you could work on, a couple medium and low priority things that you could get, you know, make, make better. I can click into those specific things and see what they are. Here you can optimize images. I actually know that my images are bad on Jenni API. I need to fix that. Just something that doesn't matter that much. It's not really a paper cut. The image loading a tiny bit slow isn't going to stop somebody from, from working with me, right? Um, but anyway, so those are the things I need to work on. But again, I have paid, um, I have paid a lot of people a lot of money to do cybersecurity assessments on my company, right? Over the years, I, I've paid— I'll pay $15,000 for this kind of a report in the first month, and then they'll say it's $8,000 every month going, you know, ongoing, right, for us to provide this to you. And so anyway, bottom line, guys, um, Manus and these agents can do incredible, incredible things. You can even, by the way, have Manus build software for you, or put together some sort of really fancy tool that you need Replit to use, right? And Replit can't quite figure it out for whatever reason. You can say, hey, Manus, I want you to work through something. I want you to test it over and over until you get it right, and I want you to give me that code, and I'll just copy that code, drop it into, into Replit, and let it install it on my site. So I won't go too much into that, but look, I had to write a biography about me. I just said, go on the internet, see what you can find. And it wrote a very flattering and put together a nice website flattering, you know, biography on me, right? I'm an elite mastery across domains: entrepreneur, AI expert, musician, adventurer, Renaissance individual, right? Look how good this is, right? This is awesome. It's talking about kayaking things that I've done down in Mexico and this Silencio waterfall and the big banana section and, you know, in this 45-foot waterfall that I kayaked off of and, you know, AI Mastery, GenAI API, all this stuff, Musical Mastery, all the albums I've published, and all these different things, languages, I'm fluent in these, whatever. So cool. And, and then, you know, puts links to things, right? So, so it's like, hey, you can go and, you know, here's the GenAI API site, you know, here's his, you know, here's his Instagram,

right? And it just, it put all this together for me. So when you create it in Manus, it looks like a website Do you— is it a workable website now, or do you have to publish it or put it in the

repo? So, so what it does is it comes up and it creates— now it's a weird website, right? It's like joncheney-mppw-whatever.manus.space, right? So I could obviously customize this domain if I wanted to, but yes, it actually— Manus can actually just publish the site. You just say, hey, publish the site, give me a link. And yes, I could share this, you know, I could share this biography of me on LinkedIn., right? And talk about how Manus built this, and that'll be a good AI

post. But so yesterday when we were talking about creating a personal brand website, like, you know, we were talking about that, and we did that with the kind of going the ChatGPT and then going into a

Replit. You could save those steps and just do it here. Yes, but you're not going to have nearly the control. So first of all, if I want to change something on here, the only way I can change it is if I come to and say, hey, I need you to kind of rewrite this paragraph and I want you to change this one to this. But, but I can't go in like in Replit. I can go in and I can say, hey, you know what, I'm going to grab this element right here and I'm going to actually, you know, I want you to please change this text to good afternoon, John, or whatever. You know, I could, I could actually specifically tell it, hey, do this and I can grab an element here and I can I can say, hey, I want you to work on this system. And there's no, you know, here I've got the file system here, right, where I can see all of this stuff and I can see all the code. I have none of that kind of control over in Manus. I just get kind of the final product. And by the way, simple, right? You're not building this thing that I was building over here that's really complex with lots of moving pieces and storing databases. There's no database. Space over in Manus, right? And so you can't do nearly the complexity over there. But if you just need— again, you're going to do a quick report, or, you know, you're going to report to the boss, Ryan, right? You should have your employees, your VPs, or whoever, right? They should be showing stuff to you in this level of quality and completeness because it only takes 3 minutes, right? In fact, they're, they're putting together PowerPoint presentations to sit down with you, or a PowerPoint presentation even for one of your clients, a prospective client. You're trying to sell somebody on your services and they're putting together these things and doing all this hard manual labor when really you could just say, hey, um, here's the information for this one, give me a presentation, right? And so Mannus can do it, Replit can do it. In fact, I'm going to show you Replit. I want to show you this, it's cool. Did I mention the BYU thing yesterday? Did I show you the grades? I think I did. Did I show you the grades yesterday? I did. Yeah. And I showed you the presentation as well, right? Yeah. So you already saw that. So Replit can do that. Now we're going to go over here into another one. We're going to go to Gamma. Actually, you know what? Sorry, I need to move this thing. I actually think my Gamma account is over here. Yeah, here we go. Perfect. Okay, so Gamma Yeah, this is crazy, right? Like, Danny, you want a, uh, you want a, a good pitch deck for going out and selling, you know, GenAI API and all the different things it does, right? I do. Yeah, well, I made this in like 5 minutes. Now obviously you can go in and improve it and give it more information, right? But all I did was say, hey, go to GenAI API and make a presentation. Okay, so watch how easy that is here. All right, let's create new with AI, and then we're going to generate from a one-line prompt in a few seconds. So we're going to say, um, create an investor presentation on the latest and greatest for iOS 26. Feel free to explore apple.com to get your info. Okay. Future of intelligence, revolutionary user experience, all these things. Let's go. So it's created all of that. And then we're going to use this. We'll go pink because we're presenting to a bunch of women for this

one. We'll do 3D art and generate. Jon, do you ever use this to kind of like do market research on potential customers or things like find flaws with particular— I don't know, or even within your own organization that you can kind of go like with, I guess it's going back to

Manus. But to kind of identify stuff that could use some work or retooling. Absolutely. Manus is amazing for research. Put it on a really complex thing that requires some output and stuff, do that. Look how crazy this is, guys. Look at how fast I've put together a world-class presentation on iOS

26. Wow. That's nuts,

right? Can you export this in multiple formats? Like if you— Totally. Yeah, I want to share this now. I can collaborate. I can share a link that they can click on so it becomes a nice, you know, a nice link here. I can publish to a site just like a temporary thing and export PDF, PowerPoint, slides,

PNGs. I can embed it somewhere. That's

great. So Ryan, nice and easy. I mean, you see what I mean, Ryan? Ty— sorry, Lori, I'll come to you in a second. If you have people coming to you or you're putting together presentations for clients, if it isn't this quality, you're just— you're leaving money on the table, right? Or you're wasting time going and working on this amazing presentation. I don't know about you guys, but the hardest part of any big task like building a deck is starting. It's so hard. And even if you just start with this now, you're like, okay, this is really good. You know what? I'm going to add another line here. I want to make sure we get this point across. You know, iOS 26 is kid-friendly, you know, whatever. I don't know. You know, you can just, you can go in and edit this. You can change this, you can do that, and then you just quickly share it and whatever. And you can even just share this link, right? I want to, I want to just show what the link looks like if I just open it in a new in a new browser here that's been created. I can now share this beautiful link. What if you send this to a client with all their new stuff? You know, the other day I had a meeting with a client of mine that is, you know, part of my fractional chief AI officer offering, right? And I had the meeting in, it was like 9:52 AM and my meeting was at 10 o'clock. And I was like, you know what, it'd be really good if I had a presentation that kind of walked us through what we're talking about here. And so I hopped on Gamma really quick,. And I just said, here are the things we're talking about. And I literally grabbed my notes from our last meeting and from some of the stuff that I'd done that week. And I just threw it into, um, yeah, it's going to be right here in my downloads. I'll just pull it up if I can see it here. Fraction Chief AI Officer Strategy. Here it is, right? And so I was able to then sit down and be like, okay, hey, here's what we're thinking about, right? I mean, Corey, this is what you're working on and Trent's going to be working on this, and here are the other key team members. Here's where we're going to focus on, on this, you know, here's what we're going to do immediately, right? And let me tell you what, when I pulled up that PDF, we started talking for the first 5 minutes, and then I was like, okay, so I prepared this. And he, he sat up, he was like, this is awesome. He was so— he's like, wow, you are prepared. Like, you know, even though he knows I'm like an AI expert and he's even taken this course, it's just, you just look better when you show up with something that looks like this. That looks like you spent— it's because it's partly because our brains are used to something like this took a few days to get right, or at least a few hours to put through. And so your brain's just like, wow, this guy is prepared. And you guys saw how much work I put into building this thing. It took me, as you know, 19 seconds. It took me 19 seconds of work to build this, okay? No, you do the work of 10, of 10 men or

women. 10 men, 5 women. Laura, go ahead. Can you upload, like you told us yesterday in Replit, can you upload an existing PowerPoint and then have

it? Okay, where do you do it? Enhance existing doc. You can import things, you can create, you can say, hey, you know what, here's notes, outline, or existing content. So you just come in here and you just kind of bring in all this stuff that you need to bring in and you upload. You, you can also import files right here, right? So you'll upload your PowerPoints or your Drive or maybe just from web pages, things like

that. It can, it can take a ton of information and put it

together. What's better to use, this or Replit? Well, this is for, for a PowerPoint. I'm using Gamma all day long. Okay. Now what I might though, what I might do again, I'm going to Replit if I need it to be on a website and I need it to be interactive. Or, or maybe we were talking yesterday about

this. Hey, what if you wanted to have it in Spanish? Right,

right. Oh, that's why we were talking about it. Yeah, totally. So what if you have it create this thing, right? And then you just download it and you say, hey, Replit, please take this content exactly as is. And I need you to create a button that I can push that translate or a dropdown that allows me to translate into multiple languages. Right. So you could, if you need it to be more interactive, but if you're just building a static document, this is primo, right? Okay. And look, there's more than one way to skin a cat, right? And so I'm showing you multiple ways to do this type of stuff. For a presentation, maybe use PowerPoint or Google Slides, or maybe use Gamma, or maybe use Replit, or maybe you'll use Manus. Because Manus, one of its big things that it tries to tell you it can do is it can create slides, right? Slides is one of the things that it can do. And so it can create a presentation for you, right? It can, it can do in fact all kinds of things for you. There's tons of ideas about how to, how to use this analysis and all these different things. Convert PDF. You know, I, I have almost 200 hours of recordings of these classes that we've taken, right? And so I had Manus build a little system that allows me to just upload those for— these 4-hour-long things with huge transcripts, but I can just give it a YouTube link now and it will kick out the transcript. And then I can take that transcript and I can turn it into guides, right? That's cool. Super. Right. So we can take all these great conversations that we've had and turn it into publishable, usable content across whatever system I want. Lots of really cool stuff like that. There's another one that's called Opus, Opus

Cut. I don't know if that's it. Opus Clip. Opus Clip. Yeah. So going back to this Gamma, can you put in a, let's say it's a YouTube video and ask it to create a presentation using the content from that YouTube video? Absolutely. And so you could just upload it like a file like you would

normally. You just give it the link. Just give it the link and say, go. Yeah, go build something. Go figure this out. Opus Clip is really, really cool. So I could take— this is a long thing, 4 hours, right? Instead of me having to go through and be like, what were the best moments of this, right? I can literally hand it to Opus Clip. Opus Clip looks at the whole transcript, sees how people reacted to it, you know, listens to it, finds the spots, the highlights, and then it automatically creates from that long-form video. I wish this would like pause for a second, but you can see it's creating a YouTube and an Instagram, you know, and it looks different, right? It's different, you know, it's set up differently. You've got the LinkedIn, you've got the TikTok and the Facebook, and it— so it figures out which, um, which parts of the video were really good and then allows you to then push it out to all of these different formats. It can add subtitles, it can do all these crazy things, right? Auto-import, auto-editing, auto-scheduling. Clean even. Okay, so maybe I would do that with one of these Zoom videos. I actually haven't done it with one of the Zoom videos because it's, it's not crazy, but it would cost me like $8 per video to do it, which I know is like nothing, right? But I just haven't done that. But what I have done is I'll sit right here in this spot, right? You've— if you follow me on any social platform, you've seen videos of me sitting right here. And sometimes what I'll do is I'll just sit here and I'll just turn the camera on and I'll just talk. Let's talk for 10 minutes about something I'm thinking about. You know, I was talking to this guy and I thought this was really cool. And, you know, there's this other thing that you guys should really think about and whatever, right? And so I'll go for 10 minutes and then instead of having— now I'm more than capable of going into, you know, my, you know, Adobe Premiere, right? I'm, I'm a, I'm actually like, I love making video. I love all this stuff. I'm good at it. But for me to go in and take a 10-minute video, cut it down to the right types of clips, put it into different formats and do all this stuff would take me hours. It would take me a couple hours to do that efficiently, and I can do it in seconds here. I drop the video link in and let it do it. It's ready. I push publish, publish, publish, publish, or download, download, upload it on my own, and it's ready to go. Wow. Work smarter, not harder. That is entrepreneurship these days, right? Or just running a business these days, right? The reason why this class is really cool for people that might be like Mike, right? Um, uh, wants to start a new business, right? And, you know, he's in his garage and he's ready to go and start something new. But also, you know, Ryan and Tice can be on this course and get just as much out of it is because when you're in entrepreneurship or when you're an entrepreneur, you have to do everything. You have to learn, you have to do sales, strategy, marketing, product development. You know, you have to, you have to cover every aspect of, you know, of the, of the gamut, operations, everything. And so This course covers so many wonderful things that, um, you know, allows you to do that. So marketing and sales, guys, um, use the agents to make this, this stuff happen. A huge part of marketing, as I mentioned yesterday— I'm going to turn this off for a second so we don't have to just like going in front of us— a huge part of marketing, guys, as I mentioned yesterday, is just about letting people know what you do. Okay, that's it. That's all marketing is. Okay. And the best free platforms to do that on are called Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, X, right? Truth Social, if that's your kind of, kind of platform, or what's the Blue Sky, you know, I mean, you know, whatever. Find a place where people are and talk about what you do. How many of you guys have posted on your Facebook profile what you do professionally or invited people to engage with you professionally on your personal Facebook

profile? Jamie, awesome. I've done it in the past when I was doing cannabis and hemp and it worked out really well, but I haven't done it with technology or anything like that yet. So I think after this I'm going to start going to market on all

that. It's so funny what you said. You just like, you, you contradicted yourself and you kind of knew it as you were saying it. Yeah, I did post about cannabis and hemp and it worked really well, but I haven't done it for this one, you know, right? Like, it worked really well. You even have a testimony that it worked, a person like you, you got it, right? And so look, guys, people actually care. I know a lot of you are keeping your hands down because you view Facebook as this, like, that's where I go to have fun, right? The reality is Facebook is a place, and Instagram, and all these places are places where people go to connect with things. And not only this, they connect with people. And there's two really primary things that are happening there: a social graph and an interest graph. Your social graph is, okay, I care about what Danny says because I like Danny. I know Danny. He's been in my house and had dinner with my family, and I've gone to a BYU game, or whatever, you know, like I know him and so I care now. What's Danny up to? What are his kids up to? What is, you know, what's going on in Danny's life? That's the social side of things. But then there's the interest graph. I like kayaking. You know how many kayakers I follow on social media that I've never met before? Hundreds, right? Or maybe not hundreds, but there's probably like 50. I probably follow about 50 really good kayakers that I've never met because I care about kayaking. Right. And so social media is moving much heavier these days towards the interest side of things, which means, Jamie, if you post about hemp and how you've got this awesome product and it's helping you here and you rub it on your arms or you take it and you do whatever, and these gummies or whatever it is you're doing with it, right? I don't know what you're doing with it, but the point is you're talking about that. Yes, some of your social graph will see that. And they might be interested in it. But if they're not interested in it, it's actually more likely that Facebook won't even show that to people in your network because they know they don't care about it. But what will happen is you'll have people outside of your network that will see it because they are interested in hemp. And so you're going to connect with more like-minded people on Facebook, on Instagram, on TikTok, on X. On LinkedIn just because you're talking about what you're interested in? Now I'm going to take that to the opposite side. How many of you have posted on LinkedIn something personal about your family, your religion, or your hobbies? Ben? Yeah. So one. Yeah. So again, this is usually about the ratio. Most people have not, right? Because they just say, I'm this person on LinkedIn and I'm this person on Facebook and I'm this person on Instagram, right? And you're trying to like curate your profile. Okay, that's cool. I understand why you might be doing that, and I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm just saying it's ineffective, right? If you want to get your message out, people on LinkedIn— like, what, what happens if I see someone on LinkedIn post a kayaking picture of them in Costa Rica kayaking down a cool river? I'm immediately going to click on that and say, who is this person? Or maybe it's someone I even know and I didn't know they kayaked. I am immediately messaging that person and we're going to be talking about stuff. And I'm like, oh, hey, it looks like you're in this new job. You know what? I actually need that for my company right now. Can we chat? And now I'm talking to somebody that I like, that I can connect with besides my business. I'm talking to somebody that I actually want to talk to. Very, very simple. That's how Ben and I connected. Ben's like, this guy's like a musician, I'm a musician. This guy likes to golf, I like to golf. This guy is a BYU fan, I'm a BYU fan. This guy likes AI, I'm super interested in this. We should just get on a call. And now we're on the same team. That's cool, that's cool. It's because I posted something that I care about, and Ben also said that he posts that kind of stuff too, right? So I encourage you— now there's different angles. Like, for example, today I posted picture of my kids. I don't know how many of you have young kids, but if you do, you've heard this phrase 6/7, and I don't really know what it means. But I bought this new set of golf clubs for my kids. It's kind of hard to see, but there's a 6/7 club. It's like a 6/7 club. Anyway, and so my kids this morning thought it was really funny, so I took I took this picture and I posted it on Facebook and I just said, any— would any of your kids be excited about this? And that was my post, right? And then on LinkedIn I said, would any of your kids be excited about this? Mine were. By the way, I made this— I made this website the other day on Replit that helps you kind of understand your kids, right? Check it out. I didn't really finish it, but here's kind of an example that I vibe-coded with AI. All right, perfect. Now I took the same piece of content and I made it a little more professional it's still like, you can still relate on the 6, 7 and Gen Z talk and all this whatever stuff. Okay. And then I, and then I brought the vibe coding AI stuff into it. And then on Facebook, I just kept it fun, right? So sometimes I'll do that. Sometimes I'll post the exact same things on Facebook and LinkedIn, right? Totally business related, totally social, whatever. And, and, and I'll just kind of be out there. But I have found that, and I've made easily $10 million in my life of sales. We'll say of sales, not of cash in my pocket, right? But $10 million of sales easily in my life, purely from social, purely from posting. And it's because I put all of who I am out there. I'm a more complete person. By the way, you know, it's easier to do that instead of showing up to social and putting on a filter on yourself, right? You're literally filtering yourself and saying, what am I supposed to do here, right? Just be you. And other people like you will come out, right? When I posted about how I felt about Charlie Kirk, I got some people that liked it. Maybe some people didn't like it. That's okay. It's okay to disagree. That's Charlie's whole point, right? It's okay to disagree. And maybe you don't want to do business with me because you see that. Okay, fine. I had, you know, there was a terrible shooting on, you know, on, on Sunday, right? That was terrible at church. I posted my feelings about that. Now, I believe in Jesus Christ. Okay. I got so many direct messages about that. I had easily 60 people add me on Sunday because I talked about that. And then they're like, hey, I saw your post on this and it looks like you do AI stuff. I'd love to connect. Like, I had people say that they connected with me because they connected with me for two reasons, right? Some just for one, right? But I'm so— I'm telling you guys, don't stop cutting yourself off from these different connections and don't feel like you can't be your whole self out on social media. The other thing that I'm going to recommend that Gary says— how many times a day do you think Gary posts on social media across all of his platforms? Any of you that follow him might know that it's a lot. What do you think the number is? 3 times? 60. 60. Wow. He posts 60 times a day. Now, obviously, he has a team that helps him do that. Cool thing is, though, today with AI, you can have a team that does that too. Right? AI can be your team that makes that happen. You can put together automations that take content from you, cut it up and post it like I showed you with the video. Maybe it just researches something on the, on, you know, AI news of the day, right? I could have it post for GenAIPI every day, right? I have it do an automatic. I build a system in Replit. Okay. Step 1, check the internet, find relevant news. Step 2, run it through ChatGPT and write a post that's relevant to GenAI API, right? Step 3, send that text or generate an image, right, and some text for a post. Send it to a Google Drive folder. Step 4, use a system called Buffer or other— there's other ones out there, right? But Buffer is one that will take content, um, automatically, you know, uh, kind of ingest it and then post it to all of your different platforms, right? So now you can automatically have it check for content, create the content, distribute the content to a platform that then posts it to all of your social profiles. Dude, I could build that whole system and probably, probably take me about 6 hours to get it working

right.

Right. Create content, send to Google Drive, and then send to Google Drive, and then send to Buffer. Yeah, so Buffer, guys, is, you know, and it's one of— there's Hootsuite, there's other ones out there, but Buffer is not— bugger— Buffer your social media workspace, whatever. Let's see if there's just like a cool thing. Yeah. So, here you go. You take a post and then it, you know, here's Threads, Bluesky, Instagram, and TikTok, right? And so, all right, great. It's going to do this, schedule the post. And so, you could have it automatically know, okay, every 90 minutes I want you to post something, right? Or every day at 2:45, I want you to post something, right? Whatever it is that you're trying to do, you could set up whatever kind of automation or frequency you want. Now, do I do this for my personal social media? No. Why? Because I love to create. I enjoy it. I post every day and I think about it. I come up with it. I do not use AI to come up with my stuff, right? I will use AI tools to optimize my stuff like Opus Clip, right? Where I'm having it cut things up for me, but it's me. It's my content. All it's doing is organizing it, maybe adding some subtitles and formatting it correctly. Okay. But I do not use ChatGPT to, you know, write my posts even. Like, I don't even hardly have, unless it's a really long article, I will do it with a long article. So like the other day on LinkedIn, I posted this article about chief AI officers, articles, rise of the chief AI officer. Okay. I'm a writer. I really kind of like pride myself in my writing. And so I wrote this, you know, decent size article. Right? Not crazy long, but, you know, it kind of touched on the topic. It was good. And so I wrote it and then I copied it, took it into ChatGPT, and I said, hey, don't change any content. I just want you to act as an editor and give me some suggestions on how I can improve it and also help me find any typos. And then it comes back, says, here's 14 things. You missed a period here. You missed a colon here. And it'd be a little bit better. This was a little unclear. Here was a run-on sentence. You know, it's, it's literally acting as like an editor instead of actually doing my job for me. Right. And so, but I, but I'll use it obviously to make sure I'm putting out some good, some good content there. Okay. But Buffer is awesome. Buffer is awesome, Laura. And it's super easy to sign up. I don't know. It's like $20 a month or it's free a month. Nevermind. $5, $10. I was way wrong. I was way off. If you pay monthly, it's $6 a month. So, um, Anyway, so marketing and sales, guys, really starts with day trading attention, okay? You gotta post every day if you want to put out a new message. If you want to get out your message, you got to post every day. There's a couple reasons for this. One, consistency in your message helps, okay? Now, what Gary Vee says— he has another book that he wrote back in like 2011 or 2012, and it was kind of when social media was starting to be bigger. And it was called Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook. That was the title of the book. And what that meant was a jab is you're providing free value to your network. Okay. Hey, let me show you this cool new AI tool. Watch this automation that saves me tons of time. Hey, did you guys see this news right here? This is why I think it's going to affect us. Right, there's my jab, jab, jab. And then, hey, come join one of my courses, right? There's my right hook, right? I'm asking for something, but I'm giving way more than I'm asking. Okay, so if you're Boss Retirement Solutions, you guys have books literally of stuff that you can share with people. Take a quote a day and put it out there, and then every once in a while say, hey, by the way, come work with us. But people are going to look to you as thought leaders, as, hey, I know that Ryan and Tyson know about this, right? Hey, did you know that we have $4 billion assets under management, right? How did we get here so fast? It's because our customers, because we value integrity and we go this and we do this strategy and our customers come to us because of this and they switch from these people because of this and whatever. People are going to read that and be like, oh, I actually do want to switch. I don't like this. Or you know what, I've been wanting to set something up. These guys seem to have it. Figured out. If you're not posting, they can't have those thoughts. They can't have those thoughts. You've got to just be top of mind. Day trading attention. That's why I just love this title. I just love the title Day Trading Attention because it's made me think. I don't know how many of you guys have ever tried day trading before. I did. I traded like $11 million in like 2 months one time. And I started with about $1 million and I ended with like $980,000. 2 months of work. Lost $20,000. Okay. But I traded like huge amounts of trades through that time, like trying to do something in day trading. Day trading is not a great way to make money, but it is fun. It is very fun. So anyway, I had that memory of day trading and all this very active and it's really cool, whatever, but it's constantly on my mind. And that's why I actually don't like day trading. I don't think it's very healthy. I think it's kind of akin to gambling because you just kind of get obsessed with it, right? And you can't stop thinking about your positions and you want to move them and all all that stuff. And so, you know, that was, that was like 9 years ago. Anyway, um, first time I had a million dollars, I was like, this is going to be fun, let's trade, you know. Anyway, so, um, so anyway, bottom line is, guys, be top of mind. Be top of mind. That's all I can say on that. I could, I could open up, you know, Meta ads and Ads Manager and show you how to set up accounts and use AI to do all that stuff. And, um, I think it's useful. But I'm not gonna take the time to do it right now. I think you guys can figure that out. And if you don't know how to do it, then, you know, message me or ask a question on the Facebook group and, and we can show you how to do it. But it's not, it's not hard. And, and ChatGPT can certainly walk you through it. Okay. All right, guys. Let's talk. We've got 30 minutes left here, roughly. Let's talk about images. Let's do images. And I know, Danny, you'd ask asked that question earlier. We talked about some API stuff. I hope some of the API stuff was covered. You know, Mike, you asked a question. I'm gonna cover that really quick just while I remember. To set up the test environment with Stripe, Stripe has test keys and then production keys or live keys, right? And so you just have to ask, you know, ChatGPT or Replit, like, where do I click to find this, the test keys? And it'll give you a link and just click on it, and then you can grab your test keys. But that allows you to test your payment system without actually having to charge your credit card over and over, right? You can put in a fake credit card number that, you know, just, I think it's 4242-4242 is what it asks you to do on everything. And then, um, it'll, it'll run it and it will test all of your workflows inside of your app to make sure they actually work. And you can do that without, and then, but then what you have to do is you have to say, okay, great. The test works. Replit, we're done with the testing. Let's switch to live production keys. And you do want to go test your test, your stuff. Okay. All right, we're going to talk about images really quick here. Let's jump into— and we're going to take 10 minutes to do images. Then I'm going to show you how to integrate them in Replit, and we're going to talk about database-driven data because it's a really, really important final principle I want to teach you guys that just will save you headaches, and it helps you think about how things really fit together. So ChatGPT, can make amazing images. Actually, it's quite capable of creating images these days. And so if you say, hey, you know what, I need— create an image of an elephant in the palm of a hand of a young girl. Okay, perfect. So we'll, we'll see what happens here. Okay. While that's going, we're going to also go to Midjourney. Okay, Midjourney is my favorite image creator. Hey, look, Rise of the Chief AI Officer. There's my image. Okay, so that's what I used for that article. Midjourney is, in my opinion, the best overall image creator. It is unbelievable in the control you have over it, the quality, the composition. You can use it to create logos, right? We haven't really done logos. It can even and animate the logos, as you can see. As you can see is happening

here. This is actually a pretty cool one. I actually kind of like that one. Is it got an AI built into it so you can talk to

it? Yeah, right here. Right here. What will you imagine? Yep. You just talk to it, right? So we're going to, we're going to build the same thing. There's the girl, right? So we're going to say an image. Actually, here's what we're going to do. We're going to say, create me a good prompt for this for Midjourney. Okay. Again, using AI to use AI is, is a critical task or skill that you guys need to take away from this course. Okay. So here's a strong Midjourney prompt. Okay, perfect. Copy. Come over here. We'll paste that and we'll go. Okay. Midjourney by default creates 4 images every time you ask it to do something. We can take the same prompt over to, We'll pull up Runway again. We had Runway earlier. I don't use— actually, I don't, I don't really use Runway a lot to create images, but we're going to try it for fun because why not? We'll just paste the same thing and we'll just say generate. Okay, so it's going to create that. So now we have a few different options. When I'm creating an image for something, I always will do this. I will try several different options. Groq can make images. There's a couple— there's lots of other ones. Cling. There's so many options for image generation, but the main ones here are gonna be ChatGPT, right? Give me, give me two options here. Actually, I like that one a lot better. I think the girl looks more natural here. Okay, that's pretty cool. And she's like kind of, she's happy and she's looking right at it. Like just everything feels good about that image. So I really like it. So we can then use it for something else. Oh, see, look at how much better these are. Look at that. Look how much better Midjourney does with that same, that same style of prompt, right? Nice. I mean, these are, these are pretty, like, that's magical. That's like an album cover, right? And then, you know, you could bring this to life, obviously, and we can bring it to life, by the way, by simply saying, hey, animate this for me, right? Or, hey, let's bring this one to life, animate this for me. Now, I didn't really tell it what to do in the animation. I could do that if I wanted. I could give it more, more instructions, but let's also take, um, yeah, let's take let's take this

one. This one's just kind

of— can you ask it to put words on it, like, uh, like for a post or a story or something? Yeah, let me show you what happens when you do that in Midjourney. This is again kind of knowing which employee it's best to turn to. So I made an arrangement the other day, or the— I don't know, month ago or so, of, uh, of a song called It Is Well with My Soul, right? It's one of the most famous Christian hymns out there. And then I was ready to publish it on Apple Music and whatever, so I needed a good album cover. And so I had kind of this idea and, and I asked it to put the text on

there. And this is what happens when you ask Midjourney. Yeah, I

know. It's what happens to ChatGPT too. That's what I wondered. Yeah, it's well with my— yeah, it's— it'll— yeah, it's, it's not getting that right. Okay, cool pictures. Beautiful pictures. You're at the piano out there on the water, kind of walking on

water. Anyways, kind of cool. So how'd you solve that

problem? Just bring it into ChatGPT? Or a Canva or something? Well, yes, Canva is where I end up a lot of the time. I actually use Canva a lot more. I think Canva is a fantastic tool. It's one of my monthly subscriptions that I use. Um, add, um, the title, um, Elephant Girl to the— whoops, whoops— Elephant Girl to the, uh, second image created above. Um, this will be for an album cover, so make the title— make the text look really unique, and I don't know, make it stand out, whatever. We'll see how it does there. Okay. Um, anyway, so let's come back up here, see what we got with our animations. I'm still working on that. Cool. Let's go back to runway. See what we got with our girl. Okay. Hey, look, it, it, all I said was girl. And so it gave me 4 different variations of, of race here even. Okay. And these are actually pretty good. I think that's pretty good. The hand's a little off here. Hand's a little off. You gotta, you gotta look at details before you publish AI images, guys. Especially when you have hands and humans and eyes and teeth. That one looks really fake. This one, the elephant isn't as good as I want it to be. That one's pretty cool, except for it feels like she's looking here, right? She's looking past the elephant a little bit. So you got to be kind of, you know, judgmental with your images. You really do have to do that. Um, the cool thing about Runway is you can go from here and then you can say, you know what, I'm going to drag an asset into here. I actually think I like this one the best out of all of these. And then I can describe my shot, right? Bring the elephant to

life. As the elephant moves, the girl is excited. Yeah, is excited.

Okay. And you ask it to fix her hands at the same time. I mean, maybe, maybe. Yeah, we did have a problem with that, but I like everything else about it. I like. So we'll just see how it fixes it. It'll probably try to do that. That again, when it's— when AI is working, it is trying to mimic patterns. And so if it notices that something is off and it's not quite what a normal human hand looks like, and it has all this training on what hands are supposed to look like, it should— as, as the hands kind of maybe move a little bit, it might look a little bit better. Okay, so we'll let that work. By the way, guys, this is what I do all the time. I'm, I'm using 3 or 4 different systems to try, you know. Yeah, there's good. That's, that's pretty good. Yeah, that is good. It's pretty dang good. Elephant girl made it really unique. Got a little bit of a, of a, of a grainy thing on top of it. This is for an album. That's pretty cool. I like it. Now her eyes are too closed on this one, right? Um, the second one is great, but the girl's eyes are closed. Open them so that she is kindly smile— or kindly looking at the elephant. Okay. All right. And then here we've got some, some animations. So the elephant's obviously kind of weirdly in her hands

there. Didn't do a good job messing with

that. Oh my gosh, it's going up her nose. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Now she's eating it. Okay, that just looks like a fake elephant now. That's a little better. That's a little better, right? A little more natural. Yeah. I don't know about you guys, but I love this kind of

stuff. Like, this is just fun to me. I could

do— I could just do— what would you use that for? I would just post it on— I mean, for me, because I'm an AI person, look at this cool scene I created. AI's, you know, it's, it's— I'm a creative person. And so because I'm a creative person, if you go on to my LinkedIn and you looked at my profile here or whatever, it says that I'm a creator, right? I'm a creator and an adventurer and an entrepreneur. And because it's in my title, I can talk about whatever I want, right? If I go on to Instagram and you look at my my profile, uh, profile here. Entrepreneur and creator, pianist and composer, adventure, whitewater kayaker, husband, member of the Church of Jesus Christ, NAIP Institute, right? Boom. I can now talk about whatever the heck I want, right? And, and I'm not saying, guys, like, I'm an expert influencer by any means, right? I'm not. I, I really am not. I'm just saying that the way that I run my life and my social world generates business. That's all I'm really saying. It generates business. I have 10,500 followers. That's, that's something, right? On, on LinkedIn, I'm at 20,172. And so I've got things, but I've taken time to build this, right? I get 60 posts or 60 followers from one thing, and then 2 this day, and 1 that day, and 8 that day, and I just build it up over time,

right? Anyway, so do you get— so you said earlier about your mom getting paid on Facebook Um, by Facebook, I mean, how do you do— I don't even know how you do that. I mean, I have a lot of followers, not as many as you or her, but, um, I don't have a check coming in from

Facebook. Yeah, you have to set up your profile to be monetizable. So you got to go and probably get in your settings and apply for monetization and then that type of stuff, and you'll set up your bank. So it works when you get shares or likes? Yeah, then you'll get money based on, on how many things you you get. You'll start out making 30 cents a month, you know, and then you'll go to a dollar, and then you'll go to $2, and then you'll go to $5. And that's 4 months, and you're like, it's been 4 months and I still haven't made $10, right? But it's the people that stick with it, that are consistent over time, that really end up making really, really awesome stuff. So just be like, okay, whatever I start today will really matter in 2 years. Got it. And it's

hard. How many things have you done 700 days in a row? Well, I do post every

day. I do stories, posts,

and— but, uh, I need to do something. How many followers do you have, Laura? Well, I, I'm almost maxed at the 5,000 for— I don't know how many followers and

friends. Yeah, well, I have a business page and a personal page. Got it. Well, yeah, keep posting. I mean, you obviously have a good foundation, right? And so Go in, turn on the monetization strategies, and you can, you can get that. Okay. All right. So let's say now we're going to take one of these images. We're going to take our elephant girl image. Now she's just kind of smiling, posing with the elephant, right? That's kind of fun. Whatever. We're going to use elephant girl and we're going to bring elephant girl into Replit, into my Replit project. It surely isn't going to make sense, but that's okay. But we're going to bring it in. I want to show you guys how to do this. Okay, so let's go to— we're going to make it make a little bit more sense somehow. I don't know. We're going to log out though, and we're going to put you guys up here in the top. Okay, so what I want to do is I want to replace this, this element here. I'm just going to select the element and I'm going to grab this image and I'm just going to drag it to right here and I'm going to say replace this image with this one. Okay, I should have checked on this. All right, at least it's on medium. It shouldn't think for that long. That's fine. So this should go pretty fast. Now this is going to do exactly what I've asked it to do. It's going to put it in there. It will have rounded edges. It will put it into this. It'll fit it into this kind of frame. Box because it's thinking in the context again of the page and how is this actually going to look nice? How's this going to look, you know, put in there? It should, it should do that pretty nicely. Okay, so it's— listen to this— decided on replacing icon, open the landing.tsx, replace background div with image, edited landing page. Now it's broken itself. That's okay. Added elephant girl image import. Opening it again. Added image import statement. Do I have automatic testing on? I do. Yeah. Okay. There it is. So obviously the, you know, the ratios were a little bit off and so it's not fitting correctly. Now what I could do obviously is say, what I would do is this, this is how I would fix it. I would just say, because of the aspect ratio difference, the image is getting cut off. Please fix

this. How did you specify where you dropped

that? Or like you just have that page open and— no, yeah, I opened the page. I don't know if you, I don't know if you saw me, but I just came in here and I just selected where I wanted it to be. I selected, for example, this thing right here. Yeah. And then I just drop it right here. Perfect. Into the chat and say, replace the icon with this image. Boom. Easy. Super easy. Super easy to do that. Okay? Alright. So now it's gonna work on this next little task of, of fixing that. But that's easy. Right? Now, Imagine you have— I'm going to pull up something. Let's see here. Ohana Tours, Hawaii. Ohana Tours. Okay, so my brother, my brother-in-law and sister own this Hawaiian tour company, right? And they have images in this, you know, the full-day Circle Island tour. And they have this volcano and stargazing tour and private tours. That's my family here. That's them. That's them. And so anyways, they've got these cool, cool things right now. These images are different. These ones right here are different than, say, this one. Why? Anybody understand why? Kind of a hard question, but the answer really comes down to this is associated with a product. Okay. This is associated with telling a story on the homepage. Okay. So this is what I would call more of a permanent photo right here. This one is, whereas this one, when they come up with a new tour that they want to feature or whatever, they're going to just, hey, let's feature this new thing. Right. And so this image is going to change in and out. Right. So when they first built this, they were, they were building. And by the way, they did this, they built this in Replit. Okay, and so they took, you know, my brother-in-law took the course and learned how to do all this, right? But he's like, I keep changing the image and then it keeps messing up and I can't get this to stay right, and I'll try to change something in the back end and it doesn't change here. And anyway, so long story short, they had this set up so that it was doing what's called hard coding, right? It was hard coding this image on the main page. That means that it wasn't using logic to bring this image over here. Okay. And it was also not using logic to set the price. So if he wanted to change the price of this product, he had to come to the homepage and change from $250 to $230. And then he would have to go over here to our tours, right? To wherever else he might have that, you know, that place. And it looks like he only has this kind of as a landing page, right? But even if he clicks book now or whatever, right? Um, yeah, he looks like they're not even, they're not even maintaining it well. So that's, you also have to like take care of your business if you're going to actually do it. But if you click on tour details here, this $230 also would have to be updated. And then you have to go down here, see if there's anywhere else where it says $230 and you'd have to constantly update it. So every time you're doing that, you have to make sure that everywhere that image is supposed to be associated with the product and everywhere that price is associated with the product and everywhere that description is associated with the product and everywhere those reviews are associated with the product, you'd have to go in and change all of those different things individually. And that would take forever, right? So let me show you the right way to do it. Okay. Hey, look, elephant girl fits now. Looks great. See how easy that was? Two quick posts. Hey, we replaced it. Hey, make sure the whole image fits. Done. I now have elephant girl in my digital legacy. So that's cool. All right, we're gonna go over to GenAI API for a moment. Okay, GenAI API is all the way at the bottom. I need to put it in a folder. In fact, I'm gonna try to do it right now so that I never ever have to do this again. Sorry guys, we have to go all the way to the bottom here. Okay, here we go. Before I click on it, not— okay, move to GenAI API. Move app. Okay, now I got to scroll back to the top, but now I can quickly find it. Amazing. All right, so GenAI API has— let's see the preview. I've got all kinds of stuff. I have a pretty complex product offering, right? I've got my Fractional Chief AI stuff. I've got multiple courses that you can buy. I've got my certification test. Got all these different things in places where there's prices and things that have to be managed. So I choose to do database-driven everything. Okay. So that when I replace something or I change something, it automatically updates everywhere. So let's see what this looks like now. Right here. So let's go to, let's just scroll down here and see if we talk about any prices on this page. Do, do, do, do, do fractional chief AI. Okay, here we go. AI Proficiency Certificate, $39. Okay, I can also come over to Certification, $39 right here, and I can come in here, $39. Okay, then if I click Purchase, right, that's going to make me log in, but then it would actually come up in Stripe and say, I'm going to charge you $39, right? That's what would be happening. Okay, so now if I decide, what if I want to change that price to $49? Okay, well then I'd have to make sure that I go through and I the whole site and it changes everywhere, or I make sure that that element is driven by the database. Okay. So I come in here to my database right here and I go to certification tests and I only have one certification test here. 40 questions, whatever price, $39.00, $3,900 pennies. Okay. I'm going to make it $99 today, see if I sell any more. Okay, add more value just by making it more expensive. That works, by the way, guys. Um, all right, preview. Okay, now I'm going to reload the page. Okay, so somebody lands on my site right now, scroll down, check it out, $99. That's cool. Look at my certification, $99. Scroll down here, $99, right? Database-driven data, that's what you want. So if I change something— by the way, I don't even have to publish this. If I go to GenAIPI right now, sign out, go to certification, it's live. That's a live database. If I change it That price is live now. Stripe will charge you $99 if you try to buy this because I'm driving everything from the database correctly so that I don't have to go in and change it in 10 places. I just change it, it goes everywhere. I change the image. If I store the image in the database, it goes everywhere. It's associated with the product or what it's supposed to be associated with. That is how you can get yourself in a weird spaghetti mess if you try to hardcode everything. And by the way, Replit will hardcode stuff. Stuff if you're not careful, right? And so you have to tell it, hey, I want to make sure that these prices are determined by fields in the database,

right? These descriptions are using the

database. Yeah, go

ahead. If we go over to the database, we look at that item now, is there— will, will it have all of the other information attached to it? So for example, the description of the product and the, the, like, the number of questions. And if you would— did want to add a photo, like, what would that look like within the

database? Yeah. Yeah. I don't have a photo associated with this one. Let's see if I do with the, with courses. So yeah, here we go. So these are the courses. So if you go to GenAI API, right, and you click on courses, I have images associated with them, right? And prices, by the way, right? And so the courses have a description, a title, a level, right? And by the way, all of those things are important. Right. If I come in here and I click beginner, that's a filter, right? There's a beginner filter. I could switch it to intermediate and then it would show up with these, right? Those are all database-driven descriptions, titles, courses. All of those, all those little flags, all of those little data points, right, are being driven by this stuff here. And then look, cover image, right? I don't know why AI in Everyday Life doesn't have an image here. And that means something's wrong. Somehow there's an image there, which means I might have accidentally hardcoded it. It, right? I need to fix that. Now, do I need to fix it? Yeah, I don't know, whatever. And then here's my prices, right? $19, $29, $29, $29, $29, right? And then they're attached to other things too, right? Where course tests are going to be associated with this, and there's newsletters and quizzes and things associated with those, right? There's things that happen that, you know, in other places that are associated with that, right? And so the database is fun, guys. It's fun to, to think through. Again, I'm not a developer, right? And so I don't I don't know databases maybe like other people do, but what I do like is puzzles. And it's kind of a puzzle. You just kind of— how do all the pieces fit together? How do they— and I do like, I do like understanding why something works. That's something that I just really love. Anytime my CTO would say, hey, we're building this new augmented reality tracker and we have to train it, and I'd be like, how do you train it? Like, what is the technical process? What is the system doing and how is it How does it know? And then how does it see? How does it think? And then he'll go in this crazy thing. I'll be like, I didn't understand what you said. I need you to help me understand this part more, right? And I'm very curious. And, you know, I'll even ask Replit or I'll ask ChatGPT, why did this work? Or how did this work? And because I've just asked enough questions over time, I kind of understand what's going on now, right? So anyway, maybe I should leave it at $99, see if I get more sales on it. I get sales on this every

week. Not every day, but every week I get sales on this and it's just like— I was going to ask you, Jon, if you could change it back because I was planning on taking that tomorrow. I'll give you a code for

free. How about that, Jamie? Oh, wow. Thank you so much. Yeah, just— you guys know me now. We're friends now. So, yeah, ask me for stuff like that. Okay. All right, guys, we are in our final 10 minutes. Obviously, we can use this time for some questions, just some general stuff. Stuff. I will actually upload the YouTube links today and videos today. I promise that I will have it to you before you wake up tomorrow. Okay, so it might come at like 9:00 PM tonight, but I do have a meeting. I have to jump in a car right after this and I have to drive to Lehigh. So, um, so I won't be able to do it right now, which means I'll be back probably like 4:00, and then I'll upload. I didn't upload the one yesterday, so I have to upload that one, then I have to upload this one, and then I have to get the email out to you. So I'm going to guess 6, right? Maybe 9 if I— because I'll probably have dinner with my kids or something, so, and my wife. So because that brisket is still, you know, wafting this way anyway. So, um, so anyway guys, you'll get that email. Um, in the email there will be a link to that Google Drive that has all these different guides and tips and tricks and things. I encourage you to use— you know, we didn't go over everything that's in those guides. There's some extra stuff in there that you'll find and some tips and tricks. There's a list of all the different software tools that I like to use, what I use them for. Lots of cool stuff in there. Okay. So just poke around that, use that, you know, to your advantage. Obviously ask me questions. You've got access to the Facebook group. There will be a link to the Facebook group in the email in case you didn't join it yesterday. You can join that when you get the email today. I will also ask for a review, right? Because why not? Um, you know, if you liked it and you are willing to write me 2 or 3 sentences on it, that would be awesome. Okay, if you write me 2 or 3 paragraphs, I will love it, but I won't really be able to use it very well. Um, so, you know, keep it short and sweet, 2, 3, 4, 5 sentences maybe. Um, also, if you want to go above and beyond and you want to post about it on your LinkedIn or your Facebook or something, that's, that's amazing. Um, I also give a $100 referral fee Um, or I can give you a cool— I don't know if I have one in here. I have really cool, like, Nike GenAI hats. They're like $50. They're really nice. Anyway, I can send you a hat or whatever if you give me— if you refer someone to this course. Okay, um, so $100. Um, if you want to take the course again, I will include in this email that I send out today, I'll include a $250 discount code that, you know, if you want to take it again, that's fine, but I'll give you guys 20% off on that That's, that's great. It does take up a spot and so I gotta charge something for it, but happy to have you do that. The other thing is if you get somebody else to come take this course and you'll get the $100 and you're allowed to take the course with them for free. So that's cool. That's another, you know, so if you can go find somebody else that wants to do this, right? Lori, go find your friends and be like, you have to take this. It's amazing. Then you can just come take it again. No big deal, right? Come take it for free. And then And then lastly, if you are a business, like, you know, boss, like, we'd love to, we'd love to work with you, you know, in more depth. I'd love to work with you, right? And if you want, right, it's the options out there, right? My engagements start at $10,000, right, a month, right? And so our fractional Chief AI offering starts at $10,000 a month. Most of our clients pay $15,000 to $20,000 a month because they want me for a little bit more time and more. They want us to do stuff and whatever. But anyway, bottom line is it's top of the line and makes real impact. I have yet to have any company cancel that service. They love it. We are 100% retention rate, which I know won't last forever, but, but they really love it. And we're able to go in and do some, you know, do some great things with, with, you know, AI strategic thinking, which obviously Ryan and Tyson, you guys are, you guys are doing great. On that, right? But like strategic thinking and how is our business, our industry going to be affected, all that kind of stuff. I'm also thinking about training, right? I really care about the other 100 employees, right? For all of you guys, right? Not just Ryan and Tyson here, right? But all of your employees as you hire people, make sure that they're doing things right and they've been given autonomy and freedom to go try things and find tools that can make things happen and then provide actual training for them as needed, right? I also do besides the monthly fractional GFI. I also do company-wide training, right? If you just want to do something like this for a couple days with your company, with your entire company, we can do that too. But, um, and then the third thing we, we do is, you know, we'll actually get in and build cool stuff with you. We'll build dashboards and tools, and, and more importantly, again, more importantly, we'll teach your people how to do those things, right? So that they're, they're putting together those tools and solutions, right? You guys have all, you guys have all been through, and I hope I hope you've changed just the way that you think about everything you do in your life now, right? You're like, I need to prepare a lesson for something for church, or I need to, you know, I'm going to go speak at some event for something, or I'm going to do a presentation for my employees, right? All of a sudden you're like, man, now I have the option with like 5 more minutes of work to have this beautiful presentation accompany this. Or hey, I have a new client and they're like, they're a billionaire and I really want to get them and I want to wow the heck out of them, I want to get their money into our AUM, then I'm going to maybe spend a few minutes, maybe I'm going to spend a few hours in Replit and put together like this complex dashboard that does cool stuff. I don't know, right? Or maybe just make a nice presentation for them, right? Have Manus go and do a bunch of research on them, take all that information, take it over to Replit and say, put together a super nice presentation. With, you know, for boss and for, you know, we want to sell them on this and here's all the context of their whole life and their life story, you know, whatever. And then you show up and they're like, how do you know all this about me? You know, like, well, my AI did it. You don't have to say that, right? Just be like, we worked hard. Make sure you read it. Make sure you read it, right? That's a good thing. You know, there's a professor that I don't remember where he was, like UCLA or something, right? But a lot of professors, a lot of teachers are not teaching our kids how to use AI. AI. In fact, there, a lot of them are strictly prohibiting them from using AI. And I think that is the dumbest thing, the dumbest approach ever to prepare these kids for real life. But one thing I saw that one professor was doing, he said, all right, here's the deal. You can use AI for anything you want, as much as you want. You want to write a paper in it, right? That's great. But 80% of your grade is going to be a presentation you're going to do at the end of the semester, and you're— it's going to be tied to— it was like a dissertation class— and be tied to your dissertation, okay? And your dissertation is going to be like 40 pages long. You can use AI to write the whole thing, I don't care. But 80% of your grade is going to be you standing in front of the class, and I'm going to have your dissertation, and I'm going to drill you on it in front of the class. And if you don't know this stuff you're going to get a bad grade, right? If you know it, amazing. You've learned and you've produced and you've created value. Go out in the world and do it again, right? But you got to know it. You got to know your stuff. Read the stuff. Know what AI is writing for you. Better yet, write with AI and let AI help you, right? Um, anyway, all that stuff's coming. Thank you guys. You guys have been

awesome. Um, any questions or comments or just logistically or about anything we've talked

We can play some disc golf. I've got a 9-hole disc golf course here and we can have some barbecue and hang out. Happy to do that. If you need help professionally on your projects, I'm probably going to have to charge you, right? But if you have questions, right, a quick question, ask me, right? Text me. If it's longer than a quick answer, then I'll be like, hey, you know what, that's a pretty complicated answer, but here's where I would go to find the answer. Go to ChatGPT, talk about this. If you want to go deeper, maybe we can have a better, bigger discussion about it, right? So, but anyway, guys, yeah, don't, don't be afraid to reach out to me for whatever you need. So any other questions? Thank you so much, Jon. Appreciate it. Okay, I think we're good, guys. We went 2 minutes over yesterday. We'll go 2 minutes less or 3 minutes less today.
