Let's dive in. All right guys, welcome to day 2. Sorry I'm a minute late. I was trying to log in and then the wrong browser was open and then it made me log in again on something else. And anyway, I thought I was going to be early. Um, also I was walking around outside looking for a pair of shoes that it said was delivered, but I can't find them. So anyway, I hate that when it says a package is delivered and they delivered it to like a neighbor or something. I have to go track it down. But anyway, um, all right guys, so I've had a few of you reach out to me, about half of you actually reached out to me individually just to ask, you know, random questions here or there, or, you know, just had comments on things. And so I want to kick off today with, uh, we just kind of open questions, Q&A, whatever. If there's something like, hey, how does this work side of Replit or something we talked about yesterday that I can't stop thinking about. Or, you know, I think John Van Dyke said his head exploded yesterday, wondering if you've recovered by, by now. And anyway, so, um, anyway, yeah, it was kind of a fire hose of information yesterday. If you thought yesterday was crazy, today's gonna be even crazier, but hopefully you're a little bit more prepared. Um, you know, we're going to go through a lot of really fun, cool things today. So yeah, I'll kick it off. Any, any, uh, just kind of open questions for Couple minutes here.

I was hoping high level really quick. Can you remind me about that? You're going through a bunch of stuff with the config, the src, components, hooks, lib, pages, that, that whole section on Replit and looking at those and understanding what those mean. I, I was struggling kind of following that piece of the conversation.

That's right. You want to, you want to share your screen and just show me what you're talking about and we'll just talk it through? Yeah. Okay.

Okay. So it was, it was this section right here.

Yep. Yep.

That you were going through and you were explaining a lot of stuff about that. And for some reason I was, I was caught on another thing and I was—

it's all good. No, this is—

I got lost just a little bit on that piece. I got all the rest, but I think this was the piece for some reason I just want to make sure I understood how it worked.

So basically this is your— this is the app, right? All, all apps and websites are code, and code is just text, right? And so you can click on any of those things right there, like click on just the one right below you, admin. Whatever. Yeah, just click on that and that's going to pull up, you know, the actual code for that. And this is admin-analytics.tsx. And your.tsx is kind of like your little mini app inside your app. This is the thing that's going to control your admin analytics, right? And so you could scroll down and look at all that code. Anyway, the bottom line is if you hired a developer and you said, hey, could you come in and help me work on something? And, you know, they wanted to, you know, just get it—

that makes sense—

mess with the code. Then they could do that here, right? The other thing that's important here is, go ahead and click the little plus button, the little plus tab button up there over on the left. This one? Over, yeah, over on the left a little more. Yeah, right, right in the middle of the screen that you have open here to the right of publishing, to the right of— Oh, up here? Yeah, right there. There you go. Yep. So this little thing here lets you open up all kinds of other things. And the very bottom thing right there that says get Git. Yeah, click that. So this allows you to connect to something like GitHub, right? And GitHub is a repository for code, right? It's just a place where coders store their code, right? Um, Nate, I'm sure you use— do you use GitHub? Uh, yeah, especially just for version control, because a lot of times you make mistakes when you code and you need a way to go back. And unless you have Save the previous version, you can't do it. Exactly. Yep. And so you actually, there is some cool rollback features inside of Replit. I can show you guys that. But, um, but it only, I think, goes 7 days back, right? And so if you need to, like, you know, maybe you, you do something, you kind of mess it up, and then you go on vacation for 2 weeks, right? And you come back, you're like, crap, I pushed that 2 weeks ago. Now I don't have access to roll back, right? But if you save it, or if you push it to GitHub, so GitHub is just another place where you can store that code. And, and if you wanted to hand it over to, say, a more traditional development environment and you hired a developer to take this over and they are like, yeah, I don't want to use Replit, totally fine. You can push to GitHub and then let them grab that code and then do whatever the heck they want with it, right? So over here on the right is just all the code, right? It's all the code that they're, you know, that you're writing. So pretty straightforward. Yeah. Okay. Other questions?

So I have a question. I spent a lot of time last night. I just got really excited about this all.

Good. Love it.

So I worked late into the night working on it, burned through my first month's credit— credits allotment. And then I felt like as I was working within Replit, I had to keep telling it to go back to the documentation that I provided. Because it would build and then it'd be missing some of the features in the documentation that I had provided it originally. And I don't know if that's kind of standard because I just felt like, man, I just wasted a lot of time in aggregate telling it this looks good-ish, but you're missing all of the features that were outlined in the document. Is that standard or what can I do to avoid that?

I'm going to say that's fairly standard. What you, you really need to be a little bit annoying, annoyingly, um, repetitive, right? And so it just takes a little bit of time. But every time you're asking for a new feature, hey, let's work on this thing, say, hey, remember to look at this document so you know what you're doing. Hey, remember to look at this document so you know what you're doing. Hey, don't write any code, let's talk about this thing. You know, it takes a little bit, it takes an extra 5 seconds to type that out, but if, if you, um You know, or 15 seconds if you're a slow typer, but I'm sure you're fine. But the point is, there's, it's better to just spend that extra few seconds. The problem, the limit, Dave, is context, right? It has, it's constantly, AI is constantly trying to, and we're going to talk about this a little bit more today. We're going to look at API pricing and things like that so you understand how these AIs work and how some of that, you know, the token usage happens. It's trying to be efficient with your money, right? It doesn't want to spend tons of money, but also if you give it a million tokens of context, well, that's going to cost a lot more, right? And so again, it's trying to look at what it thinks it needs to look at, but it doesn't always catch everything. And so I'm just very, very specific when I'm saying, especially when I'm building out those later features and I've kind of got my basic scaffolding and now I'm like, now I really got to drill in on this experience and this element so that it's, you know, doing what I planned in the plan. Right. And hey, let's look at this. How do you think it's doing? And then it's done building and it says, hey, it works now. And then you could say, okay, I want you to look back at the plan. How well do you think you performed? Oh, I did this and this and this, but it looks like I missed this and this and we could probably improve here. Would you like me to do that? Sure. Tell me your plan to do that. Yeah. Okay. This is what I'm going to do to make that happen. Great, do the plan, right? Like, really having that kind of a conversation, a back and forth with it, is— it pays huge dividends. It'll save you, you know, probably tens of dollars or hundreds of dollars depending on how long your build is. The reality is, guys, you know, it's funny that you're all going to blow through your, your initial credits fast. And the, the more I use, the more I learn, and the more projects I build for other people and other things like that, basically to get your first build up it's going to cost you somewhere between $50 to $100. It just is. But then to maintain it, it's like $10 a month, right? It's almost nothing. And so your ongoing $25 a month is actually kind of well priced. I think, I think Repwood has done a good job. I'd much rather them charge you less per month as a minimum, and then you pay more when you need it. And then you're kind of your maintenance, $10, $15, $20 a month, adding a couple features here and there, fixing bugs. Hosting, all that stuff, it's gonna cost you almost nothing. Cause you're gonna do all of your hosting through the app, you know, through Replit and everything's gonna stay here and live here. And it costs, you know, a dollar a month per kind of per app and it plus a little bit of usage and that might end up being another 30 cents or 75 cents. And you know, but you're, you're hosting your whole thing for, you know, less than $20 a month. And I think it's awesome, but don't be surprised going through, going through those credits here during the build. All right.

Thank you.

Yeah, good stuff. All right. Any other questions that are burning right now? Obviously, we can— you know, you can ask questions all day. Jabula, you had a question. Go ahead. Yes. Sorry about that, guys. Jon, just a quick one in terms of if we have to look at real-world problems that we are all currently facing. I mean, I know the problems in the US might be different to what we're facing right now in South Africa. What, what solutions should we be looking at while using the tool? Because when I asked about GenIIPI, what was the motive behind building that, that, that system? What problem were you looking at solving? So my motivation— so the question is basically, how do we come up with a good business idea, right? And how did I come up with GenIIPI? Why was that a good business idea? You know, it happened to be in an area that I was interested in. I already was doing some consulting with it, and, and honestly, I just felt the problem growing. What, what I felt was I was getting really good with AI, and I was looking around at people and seeing most people not even touching it. And it kind of— honestly, the reaction that I had was I was a little scared for my neighbors. I live in a good neighborhood of great business owners and people that are just awesome, And, but most of them are like, they're ranchers, they're construction company owners, like just kind of more the trades and blue-collar type stuff, right? They're making $30, $50 million. I mean, they're doing awesome businesses, right? But they weren't even touching AI, right? And I talked to one of my neighbors. I was on a double date with my wife and just another couple that lives here in the neighborhood. And they're about 10 years older than us. Right? And so he's about 50, so he's not super old, but, but I was like, hey, you know, you know, do you use— we just started talking about AI. He started asking a couple questions. I was like, yeah, what do you use ChatGPT for most? He's like, I've never used it before. I'm like, what do you mean? You've never, you've never said anything to ChatGPT? And I was— and he's like, yeah. I was like, okay, pull out your phone, download the app right now, and let's dive in, right? And, and just in 20 minutes there, completely changed his life. And in, you know, about probably 2 or 3 weeks later, he comes back to me just up at church and he's like, hey, I use ChatGPT like 8 times a day and like I have my whole team using it. And I was like, that's cool. This was before I started GenAIPI, right? So it's just a problem I felt, right? And I was like, man, this company, this guy that's doing like amazing stuff, he's got a beautiful ranch, he's got 25 horses and several hundred heads of cattle and, you know, 15 tractors and he's, you know, all those things. Like he's a multi, multi-millionaire many times over. Like he's doing very, very well, yet he's just not paying attention to this thing that could threaten his business. And, you know, he owns a construction business, and there's so many things in AI that can help him with that. And, um, anyway, so then we dove in, we started doing some stuff, and, and I was like, you know, I think more people need to know this. I think more people need to— we need to assess how well you know AI and then create a plan to learn it and move forward and, you know, take yourself up in the world. And so then I just went to AI, I went to ChatGPT and started started talking about it, right? There's problems like this in every one of your lives, guys. We're all different, right? Maybe you guys aren't AI experts. That's fine. You don't have to be, right? Jabulani, you're a— you're a car guy, motorcycle guy. You like other things, right? You've got other issues and things in South Africa, like you said. There are— if you're struggling to come up with an idea, guys, go to ChatGPT and say, hey, I need to come up with an idea for a new business. Right here are the things I'm interested in. Here's where I live. Here's how old I am. Here's my work history. Here's what I'm all about. Why don't you just interview me one question at a time, just like we did yesterday, right? And see if you can help me figure out a couple of business ideas. Okay, great. Now tell me the top 10 business ideas that are scalable. I can launch with my new skills now that I have Replit and I know how to do these things. I know how to use AI to launch things. What can I do? What is the lowest hanging fruit here? And I promise you, 1 hour of that conversation, you will have 10 really good ideas and then pick one you like and go with it. Right. And then, you know, run it through the process of, of, you know, testing it against the market and pivoting and seeing if it, you know, people are actually going to pay for it. And, and if they don't, okay, great. Move on to another idea. Right. Or, you know, adjust a little bit, figure it out, figure out why they didn't buy, see if you switch the market a little bit. Right. Like I, like I said yesterday, I think I shared with you guys When I first started GenAIPI, my idea was this AI Q test aimed at a consumer, aimed at an individual, and nobody really bought that at first. And then I switched over to, you know, 2 days later, switched over to, hey, I'm going to call up some businesses and see if they buy it. And when I talked to the CEO, the CEO said, yes, I do have this problem. I feel like I'm going to be falling behind with AI. I know I need to know what my employees are. I know they need to be trained more. I know we need to be using it more, help, right? So I found a pain. I found a real pain that was much bigger than, hey, I wonder how good I am at AI from an individual. The CEO pain was very, very real and I brought a solution. And so anyway, look for pain, push on the pain, see if it hurts a lot. If it hurts a lot, you can charge a lot, right? Especially if you're targeting CEOs. So anyway, guys, yeah, that's just a general entrepreneurship thing, but I really, you know, Morgan texted me this morning. He's like, hey, how do I figure this thing out to connect this website up to GoDaddy? And, you know, I kind of told him a little bit, but then I was like, ask AI, right? I was like, just ask AI how to do it. It'll, it'll do it. It'll, it'll tell you, right?

You just say, hey, I kind of felt stupid about the question because I, I should have known I probably could ask AI, right? I'm like, yeah, of course, I guess I could ask AI. It's, it's this raw retraining my brain, I guess, when I'm creating something in the system. When normally I've been used to like going and finding the answer somewhere else.

Yeah, you're going on to Google, you're going on to Quora, you're going on to Reddit, you're calling someone who knows, you're texting an expert on the, on the issue. And, and yeah, I knew the answer, Morgan. I knew exactly, I knew exactly what your problem was. But number one, I wanted you to just see that, oh man, I don't have to just always pay Jon for the answer. Right? I've got this resource already that I'm paying for, this AI. I can figure it out myself. Like, legitimately, guys, I bet us 7 here, or 8, how many people do you have on here? I don't know. We could all come over to my farm here and we could say, all right, ChatGPT, let's build a pool, right? Help us do it. None of us have pool building experience. I bet you we could figure it out and AI could walk us through step by step by step by step. We just start digging and then we, you know, figure out how to get the right cement and lay the rebars and all these different things. And they would walk us through it. I'm sure we'd use some YouTube in there and whatever, but we have the resources to be able to basically figure out how to do anything these days. Right? AI can walk us through it. If you need a video demonstration because it's something very visual like that, YouTube can do it. I've had AI, you know, I have a pump, a water pump for my irrigation here on my farm. And again, guys, I'm not a farmer. I didn't grow up a farmer. I've been here 3 years and I'm trying to figure out how to take care of a lot of crazy systems. And the pump went out and I was like, okay, I don't know what to do here. And so I just said, hey AI, this is what's happening. Here's the sound it's making. I kind of described it a little bit and, you know, It walked me through it. I bought a new pump, connected everything back up, got everything working. Sprinklers work great, right? Irrigation systems work great. Okay. I would not have been able to do that very easily a few years ago without AI. I would not have been able to do that. I would have to pay someone and I probably would have had— in fact, I know how much it costs. I paid somebody else to fix another pump. We have a couple of pumps on the property anyways, but I had to pay someone to fix it. It was like $1,400 and that, you know, that was labor plus the materials and everything. I bought this new pump for $300, switched it out myself in about an hour. Amazing. Now I learned something and saved $900. Super cool. And so that's part of why I did it too, Morgan, right? I wanted you to go through the experience of asking AI the problem and then learning how that DNS worked and, oh, okay, you can't have— you have those conflicting records. So anyway, now you've got that new skill and that's awesome. Sorry guys, my team is messaging me. I'm going to quit focus. So that my Slack stops, you know, beeping. All right. Hey guys, so today we're gonna do some fun stuff. Obviously, if you have more questions, keep them coming. And the questions are not— they don't end after this class. You guys have access to me, like I said, now. And I'm also going to give you guys really quick a Facebook. It's a private Facebook group that is only for people who have taken this course. And I don't know, I may open it up to a bigger, to a bigger audience at some point, but so far I've, I've just kept it private. And it's called Build a Business with AI. It's a Facebook group. I'll drop it in the chat here. Go ahead and click on it and join it, a request to join, and I'll, I'll approve you guys today. So we're going to dive into some fun stuff. We're going to start off today with a general purpose agent called Manus. And, um, Manas— anybody here use Manas or heard of Manas? I was actually, I was actually having a look at it at work today. Um, I think it's more on the automation side. Um, yeah, I think that's what I've got, the general consensus that it's more of an automation. I don't know if I would call Manas an automation system. There's, you know, there's real automation systems like N8N or Zapier, and we're going to look at some of those later today., and even Replit, even Replit actually can build amazing automations. And Manus might even be able to build a couple in there for you too. But it's really what I would call Manus is a general purpose agent. And remember, an agent is an AI that really has strung together several AIs, several different things that can operate, and do that chain of thought reasoning. Right? Replit is a developer agent, right? It's purpose-built to think through problems, multi-steps, work for a long time, finish steps, go back, test itself, do all these things. And it's really good. It's really good. But Manus can do anything. Okay, so let's pull up Manus and I'll just take you inside my account and show you some of the things I do. I think this is the easiest way to teach is just show how I use it. Introducing Manus browser operator. I mean, I know. Oh, this is in introducing. Hold on a second. It can do it. Hold on a second. We're going to click install now. We're going to learn together. This is so cool. Oh my gosh. It can do anything for me. Oh my gosh. Okay. Yes. Yes. Yes. All right. I've been waiting for this. I've been waiting for this. This is really, really, really awesome. Basically, how to use, add connector, toggle on the extension if you haven't. Use my browser to try asking for my browser. That's really interesting. Requesting this browser will automatically be authorized. Enable. I'm doing all the things you guys probably shouldn't do, but I'm going to just do it because I want it to just be able to do stuff for me. We're going to call this Cheney Piano 1. Well, we'll just say that will remind me. Okay, try it out. Okay, so use my browser to do this. Browse no more than 3 screens in my feed and suggest top 3 videos to watch. Let's try it. Let's just try it. Let's watch it. So the question is, will it actually use my browser now? Yeah, see, this is interesting. It's not actually using my browser. Oh wait, no, here we go. It is asking to authorize, although I told it not to. That's okay, let's just do it. Okay, so it, it started a new, a new tab up here, but is it actually going to move my mouse? That's what I'm trying to figure out. Or is it just visiting this tab without— we're learning together. So one of the things, guys, and this is actually one of the things I normally, um, focus on. Yeah, this is, this is weird. I don't even know where it is, man. This is browsing. I don't see— it doesn't look like it's browsing, but anyway, um, maybe it's doing something here. Suggest top 3 videos. It doesn't feel like it's browsing very well. This is a new, a new idea. So let me, let me show you this. I'll show you ChatGPT Atlas. So Atlas, what is happening here? Come on. Oh, that's cool. Do you see that? Do you see how it took a picture of the screen or of the thing? It pulled up all the different elements and said, okay, how do I figure out what I need to do next? Right? And so then it's thinking through, and then it will go and we'll do something. Now obviously, I mean, look, I think this is okay. Okay, why is this— we're going to quit this and then we're gonna open it back up again. So ChatGPT Atlas is a new browser by ChatGPT that does some of this agentic work as well. Okay, and so what I could do here is I could go to— let's just go to GenAIPI, and, and I could just say, um, I could say to ChatGPT, Atlas, schedule a consultation for me for next Tuesday. Use my email address. I don't know, Jon Cheney 7. Sorry, this is like this dang Zoom controls. Okay, there we go. Let's get this there. Okay, here we go. And go. So then what it should do here, which is pretty cool to watch. Yep, go for it. Do it. Okay. So now it takes over the browser, right? And it's going to start moving my mouse. And now I made it, I made it, I gave it a pretty easy thing, but it's looking at the page content, it's going to figure it out, it's going to analyze the data. Figure out what today is, what, what today's date is. It just ran a little thing. Now it's scheduling a consultation, so it should select the 25th. Yeah, just missing that little button there because that was in the way. Now guys, obviously I as a human can do this much faster. Right. But imagine this happening just in the background, right? So it was able to do this, pick the time. Now I wonder if, I wonder if it's actually considering, because ChatGPT actually does have access to my calendar. Yes, it's pretty cool. Checking time slot options. Now it's putting that in. It just typed all that super fast. Okay, I filled it out. Would you like me to schedule it? Yes. Okay, so schedule event. I could do that. Now obviously I don't need to schedule a meeting with myself, but, but you can see how this could be super useful, guys. And if you can actually string this type of an action together and have it do automate automated things for you without you even having to be here, it can be extremely powerful. I had somebody the other day talk about how I'm going to click update now because that's cool. Yeah, so far it's still— yeah, I'm not sure what Manus is trying to do over here, so I might, I might just stop. Oh no, here we go. It did, it did this. It found all the information, top 3 recommendations, came back and did that. Yeah, see, it's not actually controlling the browser in the way that I want it to, but Atlas does. Atlas does have the ability to control the browser. So I think that's pretty cool. I had somebody the other day, they were using QuickBooks, right? They just wanted to log into QuickBooks and figure out how to— well, they, they had a task that normally takes them like 2 hours to do, right? And they have to go in and they have to click on a receipt and they have to recategorize it and they have to grab some data from it and type it into something and do it and then save it and go back and they have to do it like 90 times, like it takes forever, right? And so I showed them Atlas. This is one of my clients. I showed them Atlas. They said, hey, I'm going to try it, right? And so they went in and they just described to Atlas, here's what I need you to do, right? I'm going to log in and then I want you to just click through and I want you to do this and repeat until they're all done. And then she opened up another tab, another browser or email and did other stuff. And she just watched the thing go and it just did the whole thing. It took about 3 hours for it to finish it. So it normally takes her 2 hours. It took the AI 3 hours, a little bit longer. But she was able to do other things while it just did it in the background. Right? So she just had it open on another screen. This is starting to show us the potential of really autonomous agentic AI that can do really, really cool stuff. It's still very, very early though, guys. I'm, I'm experimenting with this stuff all the time, trying to figure out what the best way is to make it happen. But what I do want to do is show how I use Manus more manually that is awesome. Is there's a bunch of really cool things. I think this YouTube one was kind of whatever. Okay, here's, here's a cool, a few cool things. So here, I'll share this example. I think it's a really good one here. Okay. So I had somebody reach out to me, I don't know, a while ago, just a few months ago, and they said, hey, I have this. In fact, I'll show you what they messaged me. I copied their exact message that they sent me on LinkedIn. They just said, hey, Utah has an HOA registry website. Okay. If you go there, you can search for HOAs by name. You put in one letter and search, it'll pull everything up that has that letter. When it pulls up the list of matches, you can then click and see names, addresses, emails, phone number. I want something that could pull all that data into a spreadsheet. So this is what they sent me. Okay. I added eliminate duplicates, provide a long and detailed CSV of all this information. So let's look at what this would take a normal human to do. Okay. So click on this link. Oh yeah, of course we're going to get a, uh, secure Utah— where is HOA index Utah HOA registry? Wow, this thing isn't even coming up right now. I don't know why the link wouldn't work anymore. A 404 error. I've never had that happen anyway. This used to work. Um, Utah. Let's try getting rid of the secure. I don't know if that's going to work. Nope. Utah. Utah gov HOA. I don't know. Results. It's not even coming up anymore. But anyway, it did. It would come up, but you would have to go in and you'd have to click on something. And there were, there were thousands of them, thousands of entries for this HOA. Okay. And this company sells a product to HOA companies and so they're here in Utah. They wanted to reach out and have a way to be able to get all this information. But in order to do it, they had to click on a link of somebody. It would go in and find, you know, all the information and it would show like a first name and a last name and a phone number and an email and the chairperson and an address. It had all kinds of great information. It's all public data. Right. But it would take a really solid, you know, VA or someone, you know, a virtual assistant or something like that, or, or just anybody working on this. It probably takes somewhere between 90 seconds to 2 minutes per, per API to like go in, click on it, copy it, move it over to a spreadsheet, paste it, copy, paste, copy, paste, copy, paste. Might even take 3 minutes if you're a little bit slower. Then the thing that's annoying is after you get one, You click back and you have to reconfirm submission and you have to go back again. And then you have to, uh, and then it doesn't save. Like if you had scrolled down to like the 50th, you know, list item, you, you have, it brings you back to the top of the page. And so you have to like go find your spot again and then go back to it. It'd be really, really cumbersome. And so I literally just gave it this thing and it worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, and just did all this stuff. And by the way, it did it. Way faster than a human would be able to do. In about 30 minutes, comes back and says, hey, I reached my limit, I can't continue anymore. But the cool thing about Manus is if you give it a really big task, you can just say inherit. So take all the important information and keep going. And so I did that and I kept going, and then I did it again, and I did it again, I did it again. About 2 hours later, it gives me this. Oh yeah, anyway, got the address, all of this information, the primary email, chair email, phone number. Yeah, I don't know why this little message keeps coming up here, but anyway, bottom line is, guys, it was able to go in and get all of these HOAs and build a massive, massive document with phone numbers, contact everything we need to know about how to reach out to these people. Eliminated all the duplicates and ended up with like 2,040 or something like that. 2,036. Yeah. So I did the math of, of a human doing this. It would have easily taken around 60 hours to do this. And with one 30-second prompt and pushing inherit and continue 3 times. And I was able to finish this in about 2 hours. And I just, I copied this document, sent it over to the guy on LinkedIn. He's like, oh my gosh, how did you do this? This is worth gold to me. Like, how did you do this? How much can I pay you? And I said, don't worry about it. You know, um, but unbelievable. Manus, guys, is one of my top things that I use. I use it every single day. For all kinds of stuff. Another thing that you can do here, let me show you another one. Actually, there's another one that I saved here. Hey, Jon, quick question on this. How accurate do you find the info you get? And the reason I ask that is that several companies that have ZoomInfo subscriptions and you go in there and so much of it isn't correct. So is it as correct as I guess where you get it from? Or, you know, yeah, yeah. Manas isn't, you know, digging and finding that information. In any way. It has to pull it from a source. It's doing it the same way that a human would. Same way. So it's not any less accurate or more accurate. It is exactly the same accurate, right? If you gave it to like ZoomInfo and said, hey, I need a good list of 100 people, help me breach through, you know, follow this, whatever. And by the way, you can even allow Manus, you know, it can, it can actually go in and it can actually, you know, I know it does browser control like in Chrome with this new thing, but you can actually just have it use its own website so we can go and do those things. But, uh, here's a, here's a cool one here. There was a— yeah, this is a good one. So I had Dean Graziosi. Um, anybody know who Dean is? Yeah, Dean's an amazing guy. Um, but I had him, uh, he did a, a LinkedIn— or sorry, not a LinkedIn, a Facebook Live thing, right? This was a live video on Facebook, and he was basically, um, talking about AI, and he just wanted to see you know, what, what people thought about AI, right? What are you worried about? What are you excited about with all this stuff? Right? And he's like, Jon, why don't you jump on and, you know, see what people are saying, right? He had hired me and, you know, I'm still partnered with him on this, right? But he'd hired me to, to help him figure out, you know, what is, what is the best AI message, right? How do we put this together? Right? And so there were about 1,700 comments. And so I basically just copied the comments, dropped it into a into a Word document, right? That was really big. It's like 70, 80 pages long. I don't need to even click on it and show you guys. But, but anyway, I then said, hey, you know, put this together in a way that I can present to Dean. And so Dean had probably expected me to take a couple hours and read through a bunch of things or take 30 or 40 minutes and read through a bunch of stuff and then just kind of be like, okay, so this, you know, people were kind of talking about this, kind of talking about that, whatever, right? But instead, about 20 minutes later, I send him a link Right here. And Manas had built a quick website, a quick report on, hey, here's what people were talking about. Neutral, negative, positive. Here's something. Here's an executive summary. Here's learning interests. You know, nice little animations and things here with bar charts. People want to learn about prompting and communication, and they don't really care so much about productivity, right? They just want it for these things. Personal development's big. AI usage levels. But look at this, guys. I mean, this is crazy. And Dean was just absolutely blown away, right? Because I was able to deliver to him like the 10 times better, you know, product than he had expected, right? And so Manus was able to just pull that together, and it saved me from having to, you know, this was 335 comments. There are about 1,700 comments that I pulled over, but I said, hey, get rid of all the comments that are like, hey Dean, or this is cool, you know, like give me the real meat, right? And so it kind of excluded a bunch of things and then, and then categorized all this stuff and put together a bunch of data and analysis. Unbelievable. Unbelievable how awesome that is.

Is the main difference— so Manus is an LLM, but it—

is that correct? Um, no, Manus is an agentic system that uses other LLMs underneath it, right? So it uses ChatGPT underneath it, it'll use, um, Claude underneath it, it'll use— it actually has access to a bunch of different models underneath it. It's an agentic system that is given a task. You say, hey, you know, put this in a presentation, analyze this data, and then do something with it. Or, hey, I need to write an email to somebody, right? You know, do some research on this person, figure out their— find their email address, and then send me all the information that I need to be able to send this, right? Or, who will win the BYU versus Utah game? Let's see what it said. It did a bunch of analysis before the BYU-Utah game prediction. Yeah, it was off by 10 points. But we, uh, we— it was correct, it was correct. And it's actually— yeah, anyway, the, the home field advantage was definitely there. Um, anyway, turnover battle we did win. Anyway, so it was a game that definitely could have gone either way, but bottom line was, um, Yeah, we did, it did all this analysis and threw it together in a fun little website. I shared this before the game and, you know, it was cool. People liked it. People thought it was a fun way to, to look at that, use AI to figure out what's going on here. And sometimes there's just things that take forever, guys. Like, for example, I had a, I, you know, I record all of these, all of these sessions, right? And so I asked, and I have hundreds of hours of content. And so I recently asked it, when was that? It was Let's see here and see if I can find it.

And do you have to ask it to produce that website, or is it kind of inclined to do—

No, I can ask it. I did have to ask it. I said, yeah, put together a quick site so that I could— so I can share this easily. Um, but basically, on yesterday when we were doing— Oh, sorry. No, go ahead, go ahead, Jon. Go ahead, Jon. Yesterday we're going to ChatGPT, then going to Groq, and then going back, right? Would Manus do that type of task for you? Does it do that? Maybe not exactly. Maybe not exactly. Oh, it just incorporates it all into one response. Yeah. I mean, you could certainly— I would use Manus almost as a separate because it has its own prompts and it's, you know, we're gonna talk about prompts today and what that means. But I'm still going back and forth between ChatGPT and Grok when I'm doing research. Gotcha. Testing things. And, you know, I could add Manus into the loop and say, hey, what do you think about this? Right? And it just thinks for more steps, right? Manus just thinks for more steps. And Manus 1.5 is just really, really awesome. But anyway, I had Manus go through and do a bunch of things. So I had a client working on— they do Airbnbs. They teach you how to do Airbnbs or whatever. And so basically took a bunch of transcripts— or sorry, took a bunch of YouTube videos that they had. They, they do like a podcast, right? And so I said, go to YouTube, get the transcripts, pull all this together. And then look at this, 280. This is the deliverable. 284 detailed episode summaries, complete table of contents, 14,000 lines of structured content and professional formatting with consistent structure. So they basically turned 284 episodes into a book, right? That they could then sell in different parts and whatever. And they've got all these different things. So crazy. And then we said, hey, let's, let's analyze that a little bit more. What are the top questions that are coming out of there? And, and then we've got that somewhere here. Here's files broken up. And but doing this kind of work, guys, manually would just take forever. It would just take forever. Yeah. Here you go. Here's the top categories covered: pricing and revenue, guest experience, cleaning and maintenance. These are things that they brought up and questions they've answered over that time. General operations, 10,000 questions. With links, all of this.

Can it do— so can it— it can grab data, it can do tasks like that. Can it take that data and do something with it as well? Can you say, hey, let's take this data and let's do an email campaign where we send out 10 emails from this information a day? Right. In order not to, to block ourselves from any kind of a, do you know what I mean?

Like, can it, can it do, would have, yeah, you would have to give it access and, and it's not hard to give it access. You would say like maybe you use MailChimp or something, right? Yeah. For mailing system, whatever you can say, hey, I need you to put together a campaign. Here's my MailChimp credentials. Here's my login and password. Jump in and build out the whole campaign. Don't click send, just stage it all up. Right. Do all this analysis, stage it all up, get the, you know, all the right people in here and then. When you're done with, when you're done with that and it's ready to be sent, just tell me and then I'll go check and I'll send it myself. So yeah, you can absolutely do that. Um, another cool thing that you can do here, which I think is really, really awesome— and by the way guys, there's a little share Manus with a friend, so you get 500 free credits if you want to try it. I'll just drop this link and you guys can, you guys can play with it if you want. Uh, chat space, go. Okay, all right, so there's that. You guys feel free to sign up. You don't have to, but you get some free credits if you do it that way. Um, yeah, so, so cool. But one of the things I love is, uh, a feature called email. Let's see here, where is it? Mail Manus right here. So right here I have this thing, joncheney7485@manus.bot. So I can actually email this email address anything I want and it will kick off a task. It will do it and then email me back the results. Okay, so that, by the way, feels very, um, human-like, right? And by the way, I can share this email address and you guys could try sending it to— it wouldn't work because I'm— these are the only email addresses from which I could actually send something and it would actually respond to me. Okay, so it is secure that way. You're not gonna, you know, the email gets out or something like that. But I could, I could come in here and I could just say, okay, um, To Manas right here, I could say, um, yeah, quick task, uh, on or for, um, actually, you know what, let's try something else. Let's try something else here. Um, I wonder if I've got something good here. No, this is fine. Um, quick task for you. Um, please find me, um, 20 businesses in Utah that could potentially hire me as their fractional chief AI officer. I'm going to give it a tiny bit more context. Um, you can check genaiapi.org to look at our product offering. We have many customers, are growing fast. I want to go after some new customers. Aim for companies that are, that have 30 to 100 employees. Thanks, Jon Cheney. So I'll send that. We'll check on that later. Okay, but we'll see, we'll see what it comes back with. What are the companies, right? And I, by the way, I didn't ask it for any contact information. I just said, hey, find me 20 companies that might fit this mold, right? Um, so we'll see what happens there. Okay. Um, but anyway, guys, you know, you could— here's another one where I said, hey, please write an inspiring biography. I wanted to see like, what does the internet know about me? And it knows a decent amount about me because I'm fairly public and I'm out there doing a lot of things. I basically said, hey, write a 2,000-word article, which is a pretty long article, by the way, that highlights, you know, some of what's, you know, what I'm about, right? And then what it did is it put that together in a website and wrote an awesome article on me. Hey, entrepreneur, AI expert, musician, adventurer, Renaissance individual, right? That's what it came up with. Master of multiple domains. That's cool. Here's me kayaking off of, you know, waterfalls and class 5 kayaking, AI mastery. And here's the different things that I'm working on. Build a business in a weekend with AI. Musical stuff, different albums published, when I started writing music. I speak a few different languages. Kind of cool, right? And so it put together just, just this awesome, you know, profile on me, right? I just wanted to see what it could find, what it could do. All right. I haven't— I don't know if I've shared that with anybody. It's probably a good LinkedIn post to just share that. But anyway, guys, so I keep going through these examples, but you can give it, by the way, you can give it. Yeah. Hey, look, finding 20 Utah businesses. Right? It's kicked off. It's working on it. Okay? So pretty cool. Also, I could come in here, by the way, and I could say, actually, you know what? I'm not gonna say anything. I'm not gonna say anything. I just wanna— I'm gonna let it do it, and then we'll— I'll say what I want it to do in a response email. So by the way, it's already responded to me and says, hey, I've received this task. I'll do the following: review Jenny API product offerings, research, compile potential clients. You can continue to send me instructions by email, right? Yeah. Or just go directly into here. So I'm going to give it actually something really quick. I'm going to say, be sure to find me the CEO's name for each company, as well as a phone number and email. Actually, I'm not going to say jump. I'm just going to give it that extra task and just go. And it'll say, okay, and it will adjust its, it'll adjust its task and then, and then it will come back later and do that. So guys, Manus. Can make you look like a hero at work, right? Or whatever you're doing. If you're in school, if you're at work, whatever, it can just do incredible things. Another one I'm gonna share with you guys right now. Any questions about Mana before we move on? We will come back and we'll look at that task, but many of the—

can I ask something real quick, Jon?

Yep.

So one thing Drew and I are doing is trying to find emails of just people we can do cold outreach for.

Is Mana pretty good at like just getting a bunch of people's emails? It is quite good at it. Okay. Data scraping is one thing it's just awesome at. It just dives in and gets past things and figures it out.

And yeah.

Okay.

Cause we, we made like our own janky scraper for websites on team pages.

Yeah. But as we were watching this, our minds were getting blown because it would save us so, so much time. Oh yeah. Jump in, use those 500 free credits you just got by signing up here and, and try it. It'll do it. Okay. Cool. And I mean, that's awesome. If you do have to pay for it, guys, like, man, this is, is cheap, right? Upgrade, $16 a month. Well, I guess if you're doing monthly, $19 a month. I am currently on the $39 a month. By the way, guys, for just, just so you know, I, I spend about $2,000 a month on AI subscriptions. Okay. Now I'm certainly, I'm in the biz, right? And so I kind of need, I probably have some duplicates, but I pay for Anthropic and ChatGPT and Groq and Perplexity and Banish. And Replit and Lovable and, um, you know, Google Pro, which is, you know, $200, uh, $250 a month. I pay for ChatGPT Pro, which is $200 a month, and Runway ML and Midjourney. And so I pay for a lot of different tools. Um, ElevenLabs, we're going to look at that in a minute here too. Anyway, guys, and Gamma, we're gonna go to Gamma next. Okay, man, this is awesome. Okay, let's go to Gamma. Have you ever had Manus actually email, like CEOs or email hiring directors and act on your behalf in that sense to schedule meetings and so forth? No. The only reason is because I just haven't taken the time to set that up nicely and do it. I usually am just moving pretty fast. I haven't had it. I haven't asked it to do a big kind of mass email campaign for me. Um, I just haven't felt like I needed to yet. Can it? Absolutely, right? I just haven't done it, right? Yeah, you can have it jump in and, and, you know, what I really want to do actually— so one of the, one of the systems that I use for work is called Apollo, right? And Apollo is basically just a CRM. Right. And I'm not very good at using CRMs. Like, I'm really quite terrible at it. I just, you know, I pay for it and I pay like $400 a month for this thing. And I've got like my list of deals, which is funny. I have, you know, deals here and I have like in the lead column, I easily have 50 leads that I just haven't put in here. Right. And if I did put them in here, I'd be able to keep better track of them. I'd have better deal amount totals and things like that. I've got like deals that have been won and things like that, but I haven't updated this in in like, like balanced staffing. I closed this $100,000 and it's actually $180,000. I closed it like 2 months ago and I just haven't gotten in here and done it right. And so what I should do is I should just get Manus up to speed on it and just feed it all my data. And then whenever I get a new thing or just like a quick note or something, just email and say, hey, add this in. And it's got my information, it's got the, you know, it's got the Apollo details. I can just log in and it can just make stuff happen. So I also have the ability inside Apollo here to set up sequences, to set up all these crazy amazing things that— and, and I can look up, you know, find people, find companies. I'm paying $400 a month so that I can have, you know, email addresses and all this stuff for, you know, anybody I'm looking for, right? So I've got good tools and I need to just automate more of, more of some of these things.

Um, do you need Apollo. I mean, I used Apollo.io for a while, but yeah, and we had it connected to our HubSpot. But I was kind of wondering, with Manus, being able to create those leads and put it into a file— I mean, I guess like you said, if you want this to be your sole kind of CRM, I guess that would be good. Yeah, we had HubSpot, a little bit redundant now that I could use Manus. I'm like, I don't really need Apollo.io because I already have a CRM. I can just Yeah.

Load it there. Yeah. It's a great question. And this is starting to jump ahead a little bit into sales and marketing and automations and things like that. Apollo can do way more automations than HubSpot can. And one of the things that I like that Apollo can do when you do set up a good sequence is it can add LinkedIn into the mix. And I just think LinkedIn is such a critical part of contacting people these days in the professional world. Right? If you just send them an email without any contact anywhere else, it's not gonna work very well. But you can set it up so that Apollo will go in and it will say, okay, I want to target Morgan Maurer and his business. Okay. So what it's going to do is instead of just jumping right in and saying, hey, Morgan, I want to work with you, it's actually going to for the next couple of days, it's going to like some of your posts. It can even automatically comment on your post. And then, you know, which I don't really love, actually, I don't like when bots comment on my post. But, you know, it works, right? It brings the name. It brings, it brings Jon Cheney to Morgan Mowers notifications, right? And then, and then it will send an email and then it will send a message and hey, great to connect, whatever, you know, so it can, it can combine a bunch of those things. But Apollo's, Apollo's one of the good ones. Instantly is another one. Instantly.ai is another really great one that does a bunch of, you know, AI outreach and sequences and things like that. Honestly, it's a pretty dang good one. I might, I might switch over to this. I've used it before. I liked Apollo because I thought it was a little bit more complete, but I'm just not finding that our team is using it very well. So I'm spending $400 a month when I don't need to be. But it has so much good data, has so many good things. So anyway, and Apollo actually has a new thing where it has a new AI where you can ask— yeah, here we go. Here's the assistant, right? I can just come in here to the assistant and I can say— and I haven't even actually really tried this, but I could say, Um, you know, I could literally actually— let's, let's do this because I think it's kind of fun. Um, let's go back to Manas. Uh, please find me— yeah, there we go. Paste, send. I'm just going to ask it to find me 20 businesses in Utah, right? Got it. It's related to prospecting, and I'm going to start figuring this out. And let's see if it can— let's see if we can do that. So this is what I do with a lot of my free time, guys, is I will go in and I'll just play with stuff and I'll usually try to A/B test or ABC test. I'll give the same task to 3 different AIs and say, go, what can you do? What are you capable of? What's possible? And then, you know, I just experiment a lot and figure it out. Okay, let's come back over here to Gamma. So Gamma is incredible, guys. Last night I went to— I was asked by a professor at local university here called Utah Valley University, or UVU. To— for those of you that, you know, want to connect that to something, that's where Charlie Kirk was killed. And it's about 20 minutes from where I live. And I was teaching just an AI and marketing kind of— it was an MBA class, and we were going over marketing and AI. And the teacher was like, hey, I like to teach from experience, and I have no experience with AI. So I brought in this this guy Jon, who I think can do really cool stuff. And I didn't create a presentation before I went. I just said, hey, I'm going to create the presentation right now on what we're going to talk about today, right? And I went in and in literally like 30 seconds built this entire presentation on how to use AI in marketing, right? Let's go to present mode here and let's go full screen a little bit. But yeah, boom, AI in marketing. Put together this presentation, did a bunch of research, talked about, you know, sales and Salesforce and some of the things they're doing, AI-driven content, campaign optimization, or optimization, Adobe Target, HubSpot, ChatGPT, and Copy.ai. It's giving examples of how to use it, all these different things. It filled in all the pictures, all this stuff, like unbelievable. Unbelievable that it can do that just automatically. So let's, let's build one really quick. So if I create a new one here, I could just say generate and I could say, you know, create a presentation on the upcoming iPhone 18 and what is expected from it. Make it this. This is a presentation that will be given to Apple shareholders. They get extremely— whoops— extremely professional and exciting. Great. So it's going to generate an outline. Do, do, do. So it's doing a bunch of research, by the way. Look at that. First ever iPhone Fold. That is something that's potentially anticipated for the next Apple launch. Obviously not confirmed yet. But definitely. So it did all that research in a second and then we'll just click generate here. 10-page deck. You could change it to 20 pages. You could change it to 4 pages. I don't know about you guys, but I hate making presentations. It's so just draining. It's so hard to do. And you can do this for school. You can do this for church presentation, a work presentation, whatever the heck you want. Look how fast it's working, guys.

Jon, would you say in your opinion, in the biggest diff— what would you say is the biggest difference between Manus and then Gamma?

Gamma only does presentations. Oh, okay. And Gamma's presentations blow everyone else away. This is best in class for presentations. And they're done in PowerPoint, Jon, I assume? I mean, that's— it is, it's a slide deck, right? So it's got, you know, all these pictures. It creates all these cool pictures. Here's the first foldable iPhone. Here's, you know, we're going to elevate the technologies related to photography, and here's the new chipsets, and here's all these things. Done, right? Then I can come here and I can say I want to share this, and I could share it, I could publish it as a site, right? So we'll click that, publish to site, convert site, publish. And now I could share that, and it's just kind of a presentation site, but it's pretty cool. It's a pretty cool way to look at it. But yeah, you share this with somebody, it's kind of animated a little bit, right? Brings it to life. But yeah, sharing a quick, you know, like I had a great pitch last night about 4 PM or whatever, and they asked for a proposal. So am I going to just send them a boring old Word document? No way, man. I'm going to just summarize quickly. I'm going to tell, I'm going to tell Gamma, a few details about it, and I'll use some of the details and then AI notes that were taken from the meeting. And then I'm going to send them a site that they'll click on and be like, hey, here's what I think we can do. Here's how we're going to work together. And they're going to be like, this is amazing. And they're going to sign up immediately for a $100,000 contract. So, yeah, so I can share the site. I can share it also. I just want to share this really quick. You can export to PDF, export PowerPoint. Google Slides. We can do them as images or just post it directly to LinkedIn.

So now you, you can also do with this not just presentations, but you can do web pages, right? Like if you wanted certain pages to be done, like, on your site and stuff like that, and maybe you're trying to create additional content and things that you can be able to really get out there for your website or—

Totally. So you can do presentations, you can do documents, You can have it create social content or a web page. Right? You have to do a lot of things. A lot of these systems, guys, can create web pages. A lot of them can create presentations. A lot of them can do some of these things. Right? But Gamma is the absolute goat when it comes to formatting and making it look good. It is the best. Manus can build some cool stuff, but the formatting will not be— and it's 20% as good. In terms of what it actually looks like. So anyway, yeah, you have a page list, fluid letter, A4, whatever. You do so many things. You can drag in other, you know, documents. You can, you can give it a bunch of data, whatever you want to do. I really should use Gamma more. I haven't really used it for social, but I'm just looking at this. Carousels are so, so popular, guys. People love getting good information. Like if you want a good post on LinkedIn, we're going to talk about social posting later. If you want a good post on LinkedIn, put together a good carousel where you just share free value. What are you good at? Share those things. Here's my top 10 secrets about this thing, and that thing will go viral, right? I mean, at least if you, if you do it at the right time and a couple other things like that, just keep posting regularly. But that's really, really solid content. I also like, by the way, we're not quite there yet, but I really like Canva, and I'm sure you guys have used Canva before. I bet, I bet. I've seen Dave nod his head yes, but Canva is, is, you know, it's been around long before AI, and Canva has the ability to— I gotta log into my account. Which one is it? I think it's this one.

Hey, Jon, quick question while you're doing that. If Yama outputs a web page, is there a way I can add it to like an existing website as a something after a forward slash?

Not exactly. But you can hand it to Replit and say, hey, I built this site, copy it exactly. And add it— add this new thing, right? So, I mean, yeah, what you get— what you get when you use that is you get a domain that is— like if I come back to this iPhone 18 one that we clicked on, the link itself is gonna be one of those kind of weird weird emails. Um, here's the published— yeah, right here. So you could add custom domain if you wanted to, and then you could connect it to something else. But for now it's going to be, um— why is it not loading? It should have just clicked on a link. View site. Okay, yeah, it's the-iphone-this-whatever-whatever.gamma.site, right? And so I mean, could you add this link to your site? Sure. But, but yeah, if you wanted to actually, you know, format it and this is obviously not a great example, right? It's got, it's got my logo here and whatever. But yeah, it knows that this is my branding. And so anytime I use it for that, it's going to add that in there. But, but if you want to add this in, you just hand it to Replit and say, hey, this is the public because this is a public link, right? I could hand it over to Replit and say, hey, just build this, right? Oh, you know what? I actually did something yesterday with this that I forgot to look at. My GearGuard app.

Come on. But that would be for if the site was built in Replit, not if it was built on WordPress or something, right?

Yeah, I know. If you're on WordPress, you have to work like a Neanderthal. You gotta do it manually. Now, you could still— you could still do a decent amount of it, right? You can Yeah, if you know what you're doing and you use AI to guide you a little bit, I'm sure that WordPress is working on some sort of AI things to try to keep up, but there's just no way in heck, guys, I'm touching— like, if you— have you guys ever set up a site with, with like, um, uh, I don't know, Squarespace or Shopify or any of those things? Like, does anyone think that's easy? Because I don't. Like, I'm a pretty technical guy and I know my way around. I'm not afraid of interfaces and buttons and new things and whatever, but man, it just takes forever to get that thing to feel right and look right and do what I want it to do. And with Replit, I can just be like, change this. Hey, let's completely revamp the whole style here. Let's move this over here. Let's change this thing. And it's just like, right? Hey, I want you to, you know, you know, I could, I could come in here. I want to see this actually. This is pretty cool. Let's go to home, GenAI API. So on my GenAI API site, um, I have a— just as part of my SEO efforts, I have a blog, right? And I've got different, you know, things that are going on here. Um, See here, do I have anything about agents? No. Okay. All right, cool. So let's go back to here and just say, okay, I want you to write a new blog with a publication date of today about the most powerful AI agents out there and how to best use them. Make it 3,000 words and very detailed. Include links to Replit software agent, Manus general purpose agent, and ElevenLabs voice agents. Make Jon Cheney the author. Use powerful writing style. A powerful— use a powerful writing style and don't make it sound like AI wrote it. Very natural and flowing. Okay. Boom. You can't do that in Shopify. Like, even, even if I had AI write an article to then upload to Shopify, I still would then have to copy it, take it into Shopify, paste it, format it, set the author, set the publication date, maybe upload an image, whatever I need to do, right? Add, add hyperlinks and things like that. All that different stuff. Right? I don't have to do that. I don't have to do that here. I can just say, hey, do it. And it's just gonna add it to the database. Right? And it knows this. It already knows how the blogs are structured in your system. It's gonna create this. It figured all that stuff out. I know exactly what to do here. And yeah, I have a database here. And inside of my database, I have blogs, categories, post authors, comments, all these different things. Right? Here's my blog post. And so it's gonna work on another one right here. Deciding on the blog table identification. And it's going to work on one. It's going to work on an agent, agentic, whatever, and figure it out. It's got all the text, all the different things. It'll just add a new thing to my database and it will be live before we have to come back and check on this. Let's check on the Manus task. I want to see, see what happened here. I ran into an issue. I need your permission to use wide research. Uh, oh, interesting. I wonder if I have to actually click on that. Um, no, hold on. Let's go to Sorry guys, I have so many different profiles that manage all this stuff. Let's go to Manus here. Not this one. Here. Awesome. Okay, okay. This is why it needs it. Wide research will cost 200 to 1,000 credits for 20 subtasks. You can start now, send a message to adjust subtasks, or continue without wide research. I'm just going to let it go.

Start.

I'll let it use the credits. And yeah, Jobnimbus, Awardco, Dental Intelligence, Canopy, Nectar. These are good companies that I should go after. Nexus. I actually know the CEO of Nexus, so I could just text him. And he's not gonna be a great, a great one because he's gonna already know AI really well. But these other ones are fantastic. I actually know Grow.com as well. I know some of these CEOs. But anyway, that's okay. I wanted to do that. So it asked for a little update, and now it's gonna get back to work. So very cool. All right, guys. So we've gone over Manus, we've gone over Gamma. I want to go over— actually, let's pause for a second. Any questions, guys, for— I know I'm kind of just zipping through platforms.

Difference between Gamma and Canva you were talking about. You said you also—

yeah, yeah. So we came over to Canva. So Canva, guys, is really gonna be, you know, it can do all kinds of things like presentations and Instagram posts and other things. I love Canva as an alternative to Photoshop. That's really where I kind of put it in my stack. I use, you know, in Photoshop, I, I, I would be using for formatting a good, a good blog or sorry, a good social post or adding titles to something or creating a, you know, a new album cover for something I'm gonna release, a new piano song, a new whatever that I'm gonna be doing. It just has amazing templates. And the thing that I love is when you come in here, you can basically just tell it exactly what you want to create. So I'm So I could say, you know, Apple Music album cover, right? Music album cover. There it is. Okay. 1400 by 1400. That's exactly what it's going to want. Right. And so I can click on that and, and I can come in, I can grab a style that I like. Maybe I like this. I don't— maybe I don't have to love the, the image. Right. But I can then come in here and I can say, okay, let's replace this image. And I can, I can, you know, copy something or I can just delete this. I can have AI actually come up with an image. Magic Media is what they call it, right? But I just love being able to take one of these already put together kind of things and I can come in and just, you know, edit this and say, you know, oops, whatever. And, you know, new piano music, whatever. And I can make it feel really professional, really fast. So I love, I love what it's capable of doing there, but It's— I use it a lot for things like when I, when I actually built, when I built GenAIPI, when I launched it. See, here's an album cover I just created. It is Well With My Soul. I released that, I don't know, not too long ago. And a lot of my things are done in here. But, but yeah, here was a, here was a carousel post actually that I did on LinkedIn. Nope, I just want, I just want to see it. I just want to see it. Um, I don't want to do that. I just want to— let's see, file, move to trash. Perfect. Now where's my projects? Okay, now I can just open my project. That's what I wanted to do here. So I can, I can pull up that other carousel here in a second, but, um, but this is cool. Like, this was something I posted the day I launched GenAIPI. I set up about 6 or 7 social posts and it was all about the AIQ, right? AI is in the distant future right now. Or anyway, I had ChatGPT help me come up with a bunch of things that would be kind of, you know, good ads, right? That would feel like good ads. Like, what is your AIQ? Oh, I, what is my AIQ? I don't know. Right? So I kind of worked on that. I wanted it to be like professional. I said the phrase I said in ChatGPT was clickbaity, but professional. Right? Like, I want people to want to click on this thing. Okay? And then I just threw it in here. And then this was actually, this is actually a video in the background. And so this was one of the ads that I ran. I got a bunch of clicks. This was actually one of my best performing ones. Right? And it's just someone, it's just a plane, right? Whatever. But, but Canva had this. It was able to quickly format it for me with AI, and I had a post ready to go. And then I could download that, upload it into my Facebook ads, and just add it as one of the potential pieces of media that it could sort through. Okay. So Canva— I'm just curious, did you pay for that? Design? Did I pay for Canva? Like, no, like when that, when it was just finally done, was there a fee for that or was this part of your subscription or— It's just part of subscription. Yeah. And Canva's like $10 a month or something. Yeah. Gotcha. No, I'm just thinking like ad agencies, they know they're done, you know? Yeah, totally, totally. And, and obviously you can do this kind of stuff in ChatGPT as well, right? I mean, you could, you could come into ChatGPT and just say, Let's go to Gear Manager. And we'll just say I need a Facebook ad image to sell this, to sell the Gear app. I'm going to run ads, help me make 4 solid image options for this ad. Or for this, uh, yeah, to get people to click and sign up. Okay, awesome. So it'll probably ask me a question or two here. Um, it might also just make— yeah, it's just making it. It already knows everything about the Gear app. It knows what's going on. It knows that this project is here. And ChatGPT is actually kind of slow. Um, I usually like to use ChatGPT to build the prompts to then take it to another platform when we're doing images. And we're not quite to the image section yet. Although we could, we could just bump that up a little bit here. We could do some images because I think it's kind of fun and really useful. But this is how I do everything, guys. This is how I do whatever I have. I'm just gonna come into ChatGPT or some AI. I'm gonna say, here's what I need to do. Alright? And then sometimes it'll just do it, or sometimes we'll just have a discussion about it, and then I'll take it over into another platform to actually do it. Maybe I'll say, you know what? I think I need a good presentation for this, or I need a good carousel for this. I want— I'm going to use— I'm going to try Gamma for this one, or I'm going to try Canva for this one because I know it's going to have some good templates that just feel really nice. ChatGPT is going to help me write the content, and I'm going to put it out there. You know, personally, guys, I use AI for business, and I don't use AI so much for personal, right? I kind of was going to ask you, I know you're a musician. Do you ever use it to help or add a chorus or a melody, anything like that? And if not, is there a place that people go to? That's the go-to, because, you know, we're doing graphics and all that. Is it also, you know, like for background music of something, that kind of thing? Yeah, it's time to do it. We're going to do audio. That's what we're going to do next. This is fun. And it's a short little break. This is kind of a, you know, we've been going for an hour and 15 minutes. Let's do something fun here for a second. Okay. Has anybody here used Suno before or seen Suno? Okay, so let's create something. We'll, we'll make something together. All right, Dave, we need some, we need some inspiration here. What kind of style should we do? Let's do the style first. Now let's— sorry, let's, let's pick a topic. Give me a topic. That's—

I don't know. Let's go. I mean, classic— not classic love song, but a modern love song.

Everybody loves a good love song. Okay. A love song about— no. Yeah. A love song that feels— let's see. A love song for Thanksgiving. For the Thanksgiving holiday. Just do that. That's relevant to right now. Okay, so that's the prompt we're going to give. And then, you know, obviously, you know, write the full song, write lyrics. Now I probably should give it a style first, but you know, that's okay. All right, pumpkin pie cooling on the windowsill. All right, awesome. That's fine. We'll just choose that option. And then we're gonna make it— this feels like it needs to be a country song. Yeah. Country. Or maybe let's see what else. What else could it be? We'll let Morgan choose. Morgan, choose us a style.

Surf rock.

Do pop. Let's do a pop. All right. We'll do pop rock. Is there an artist that is coming to mind? Um, soda pop. Okay, um, what's the name of that band? Um, I can't remember. Soda pop song from— what's that?

What's the, uh, movie? Demon Hunters. Some kind of Demon Hunters.

K-pop. Yeah, Demon Hunters. Okay, so, so this is— so it's really more of a— it's really more of a It's K-pop. Yeah, so it's really K-pop. That's really what it's going to be. I'm actually going to have it do this again because a K-pop love song. Oh, come on. Come on, fingers. Go. All right, this will feel a little bit better, probably. Yeah, this is going to win. Okay, and let's create it.

Is there a place where you could add in your own—

like, you can say some sentences and then it'll plug in your voice, or Yeah, totally. Totally. Jon, I tried this on ChatGPT and it was a disaster. I didn't, you know, I, that's all I knew and I tried to make a song and I made a song but it didn't have the directives that, you know, it sounded very, very off. So this is the place to go. Okay, why is it asking me to upgrade? I already did this. Okay, I pushed it twice. I don't know why it wasn't automatically pulling up the Yeah, okay, I just had to click on that. Okay, anyway, so it's basically created this. I created 4 versions because I clicked it twice and it always does 2. So Sweet Potato Heart is what this is called. Let's— I hope you can hear it well through the Zoom. Autumn leaves falling down so slow, mint and red, a pretty show. But my heart beats faster now. My darling, this love will grow. We put in our heart and sleep. A delicious love can't be beaten. My love for you, how it's a treat. Every moment together, so complete. Turn me roasting. It's pretty good, guys. That's really well done. I know my kids would love that.

Like, if that showed up, I was just thinking, I was like, my kids would love this. I mean, this is like a Christmas gift.

It is. And it's like $10, guys. It's nothing. It's nothing. And that's one of 4 versions. Was that just the vocal? No, it's got everything. Okay, because I can only hear the vocal. Yeah. How well is this down for me? For you guys?

Yeah, I'm only getting the vocals.

There is a way to have the sound come through really well. —Anyway, you got that one. Let's try another one really quick here. Wow. What's crazy is the accent of the person speaking is absolutely a Korean person speaking English. Like, they even did that level of detail. I could hear the accent in it. So these are all the same one. I did another. I was with some other guys the other day. And we were, we were kind of playing around with this and we were doing a— yeah, this was so crazy. It was like Skittle Rocks. It was like— anyway, it was something funny and dumb, but it was like a— supposed to be like a country, like a tough guy song to sell, to help sell some hunting gear. It would be like background for an ad. Out on the ridge, sky bleeds red. Boots crunch dirt, every step ahead. Skitter, rock scatter. Roll down the stream, echoes in the hollow, chasing a dream. I think it's— I think they're so cool, they're so fun. And guys, I'm not kidding you, in probably 2 hours you could legitimately have an album ready for release. Legitimately, easily. And you just come in, you can download it, you can upload it to Spotify and start your new band. And there are songs, there's so many songs out there right now that are completely AI created, and they're making tons of money. Now, you're a musician, how do you feel about this? I think it's just another tool in my quiver. Now, I would release this, like, this is a piano thing that was kind of supposed to be cinematic. Right? I would never release this under my name. I wouldn't. Um, would I go through and build some cool stuff and release it as kind of like an alternative name? Maybe. I might. Um, I write music and release music because I love doing it. I don't have to— I don't have to make— I do make money with it, right? But I don't have to in order to survive. There's a lot of people that do have to in order to survive. That's the profession they've chosen. And this is difficult. How do you compete right now? But what percentage every day of songs uploaded to Spotify? First of all, how many songs per day are uploaded to Spotify? Anybody know? What would you guess? I guess like 10 million. That's pretty high. It's about 100,000. It's about 100,000. Okay. And what percent do you think are made by AI today? 2%. I'd say probably 4. 40. 40%. What was it? But what were the uploads before AI to Spotify? Do you know? Oh, I mean, it's been 60, I guess. 60. It's been growing. But, but the bottom line is, guys, it's already well infiltrated. A lot of the music you're hearing is made by AI, like, Here's a great opportunity. One, one thing that I would— that I, I don't know, I could easily knock this out again in a couple hours if I just had time in my life to do stuff that I want to do. I just do so much stuff. I do so much more. It's all with AI, but I do so much of it. If you've ever gotten a massage, you know, they always play music, right? And their music is always just kind of okay, right? Why not just make like an amazing thing? Do really good kind of music SEO and just call it, you know, the best music for massage therapists or whatever. And then say massage therapist, say, and therapy music and, you know, all these different things and like build a, almost like a series of albums for specifically for that. I promise you if the right group picked that up or the right Facebook group and someone's like, hey, this is an amazing new, you know, group that has all this awesome music. It's the best. Super Relaxing, whatever. You could turn that into $10,000 a month in royalties, right? You really could. And you can come up with 100 more options like that, guys. There's so many ways to do that, to do, to make music and make money. Um, I make music because it's fun and I like the creative process and I love bringing an idea to life.

Um, but anyway, so have fun with it.

4-0 or 1-4? is 4.0. 4.0. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. It's absolutely crazy out there. So, alright, guys. So we've done a little bit of, little bit of a bunch of things so far today. I wanna jump now into, we're going to integrate, we're gonna integrate some AI into, oops, sorry. I keep going to the wrong thing here. Sorry, let's go to Flow State. Let's go back to here. Oh yeah, by the way, my, my blog should be ready. Hey, latest article about 17 hours ago, Rise of AI Agents, Your Guide to the Most Powerful Tools Transforming Work in 2025. While I was teaching you guys, oh hey, it looks like we got a little, we got a little problem there. I don't know what that is. That might be something it tried to add that's new. But yeah, here's Manus, here's ElevenLabs. Pretty awesome. Pretty awesome. I gotta fix this little problem here and go back to the blog here and see if this is a— yeah, share this article. Yeah, it added this little thing. I don't know why. It doesn't normally. So let's go to the preview here. We'll go to the blog and then we'll just tell it. We'll say, hey, what you, what you doing here, buddy? Okay, choose from preview, this little thing. Um, get rid of this image, it's not displaying properly. Okay, looks like they just tried to put an image in there without any sort of image to put in there. So anyway, cool, we'll get rid of that and then this will be ready to go. Deciding on image removal approach. Okay. So we're gonna build into— I'm gonna open back up my Gear Guard app, and we're gonna build an agent, an AI agent that can talk to us. Now, before we dive into the voice side of agents, how many people here have built their own ChatGPT or their— sorry, their own GPT? Okay. Drew, Andrew, awesome. Couple of you guys have done it. It's not hard. It's, like, crazy easy. Okay. So now that's done. The image is gone. Perfect. Let's just make sure this is is published and should be good though. Come back to here, refresh. Yeah, give it a second to refresh and republish that thing. Yeah, I don't know why it's doing that. Anyway, um, we're gonna go to ChatGPT and I'm going to use the, uh, I'm going to use the browser version for this today. Am I in— oh, I'm in the wrong again. I'm in the wrong thing. I need to be in my personal one. Right here. Okay, it's also fun. I'll— what I'll do is, soon, guys, is I'll just come up with an idea and I'll just turn it on and I'll just listen to it while I'm working. And I'll be like, I have a new song, and I'm just like, it's all new music. It's just kind of— I don't know, it's fun. Really fun toy. Um, okay, we're gonna build a GPT. So in here in ChatGPT, they have something called GPTs, right? These are custom GPTs that combine instructions extra knowledge and any combination of skills. And so they can do all kinds of things. Like, here's a Canva one, right? You could use Canva right inside of ChatGPT and build some cool presentations, logos, social media posts, whatever you wanna do. Okay? And by the way, we did create some ChatGPT. Here's, here's the Track Your Gear, Gear app. And it actually put all 4 of these on, you know, one, one thing. But yeah, there's my, there's my little whatever. I think they're okay. I think they're good. You could probably, probably go in and take these images like this one right here, kind of give you some templates. And I could say, okay, I need each of these individually blown up so they're higher resolution and then ask for them. And then you could probably replace the screenshots with actual screenshots from the app. You could do that. Take, take a minute to do that. And you could even, you could even say, hey, let's take an actual screenshot from the app. Try and log your exercises anyway. So I don't even love, I don't even love these. I don't think they're that great, but theoretically you could do that. So let's go back to ChatGPT here. So we've got all these GPTs. They can do cool stuff. But you can create your own. You can create your own GPT, right? So let's say I wanted to call it gear, gear expert, right? I can, I can help you determine the best gear for your sport. Okay, so any GPT, any custom AI that you're making— and by the way, this is a free thing you can do inside of ChatGPT. It's super easy, takes like a minute to do it. The prompt— this is the instructions or the prompt. How does it behave? What should it avoid doing? What does it actually do? I actually typically am not going to write this on my own, I'm probably going to come over to ChatGPT. And I'm going to say, or, okay, research, or look, look at everything we've talked about. Actually, no, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do this in a new chat. And go paste, and we talked about this project, and put together the prompt. For a custom GPT for a chatbot I'm going to add to the marketing website for the Gear app. All right. Okay. So it, it understands what a prompt is, right? The prompt is what's going to teach the, or tell the AI exactly what to do. So this is ready. To paste directly into a custom GPT. Okay, so you are GearBot, the official conversational assistant for the Gear app, a smart AI-powered system that helps creators, entrepreneurs, outdoor people, and high-performance individuals manage all their gear across sports, travel, tech, photography, hobbies, and everyday life. All right, awesome, cool. So let's scroll down and copy this thing. Primary outcomes, we want them to convert, we want them to You know, start the signup, join the beta, provide email for updates, whatever. Right? Here's the different things that it's gonna do. Be concise. Here's some knowledge. Personalization engine, conversion moments. Want me to grab you a spot in the beta? Can obviously change all this stuff. Never say goodbye unless the user signals they're done. Copy. Okay? So I've done that. I'm just gonna paste this in. And I'm actually gonna change this to Copy, paste.

And I'm going to say, I am— what's this section that you're in right here? In this section. So you were just over there, you were going to the— your ChatGPT asking it to do something, and now you're putting it into—

yeah, so now I'm back in, I'm back in where I'm creating a custom GPT. So here's chatgpt.com. Okay, here's GPTs.

And then I clicked on Create. Oh, gotcha.

Okay, I'm creating a GPT right now. Okay, so here's a few conversation starters. You know, I can help you. Or let's see here. What, what is the best way to store a kayak? What is the, or what is the closest bike shop to me? Okay, so I got a few conversations started if I wanted. The next thing here, guys, is your knowledge base. Now, your knowledge base, you don't have to fill it out. It has access to everything that ChatGPT has access to. But if I had very, you know, specific things that I wanted it to do and, and specific ways I wanted it to act and specific things I wanted to draw from, I can then just upload files to this and create something that's going to be very, you know, ready and optimized for, you know, for this specific thing. So for example, I had somebody create a custom AI that took this course and their, their thing was they're a therapist, right? And they're marriage therapist. And so they, you know, they wanted people to be able to message him during off hours and get some answers, right? Just have a way to have a conversation about it. Right. And so he's got books that he's written. He's got all these different articles and all these different ways that he does things. So he just took all that content, he uploaded the knowledge base and then, you know, built a really nice, amazing prompt that was like 7 pages long, by the way, way longer than what I just pasted into here. Super long and detailed. Like, hey, if they're having problems with this, do this. Don't try to tackle this. Like, you're an automated assistant. Don't try to get too deep into some things. Just help them get through to tomorrow, you know. But anyway, so he had all these really cool things and he built it out. Really, really fun. OK, but anyway, we've basically built this. I can then click this plus button here and just say, oh, it's saying upload photo. That's weird.

Is the conversation starters, are those what the chatbot's going to present to the user?

Yeah, this is what it looks like. It's showing the preview here on the right. So GearBot, this is what I do here. And then here are the conversation starters. Those are just a couple, you know, things. Anyway, yeah, so we're done now. I can test it here. I can just say, you know, what's the best way to store a kayak? Right? And based on everything I've uploaded, you know, this is how it's going to do it. Its idea is, you know, hey, I'm gonna, I'm gonna help you try to get to this, best options, you know. But it's going to answer it well, just in the same way that ChatGPT really would. But it has a few more instructions to help me. You know, if you're using the Gear app, you can tag your kayak, track condition, and set reminders for UV checks or skirt throw rope inspections, right? What kind of kayaking do you do? Yeah, river, whatever. And so we've created our own custom AI. Now here's the one problem with this. I can create this and then it will show up in ChatGPT, but I cannot put this on my website. Okay, the reason I can't put it on my website is because there's just no API, there's no connector, there's no way to do that. In order to put it on my website, I'm going to have to custom connect into an AI and through an API, right? An API, for those of you who don't know, is basically a connector. It just connects two things, right? It just connects ChatGPT or OpenAI to your website, or it connects a database of river flow levels to my app that I want to be able to check my river data on, or a weather API connects into this, or a sports API, ESPN API connects into my website, right? I can pull data into my thing. And some APIs are free, some cost money, some are free up to a certain point and then cost money, right? And so you have all these different models out there, but APIs are generally extremely, extremely cheap. We're talking less than pennies, you know, less than fractions of a penny per whatever, right? So for example, if you wanted to add a weather API into one of your things, you go to weatherapi.com Maybe. What is wrong with the internet today? Etherapi.com. How on earth is that? All right, we're gonna go with a different browser here. There's no way that is down. What? I know Cloudflare has been having a lot of problems with their DNS stuff. I mean, that's crazy. I don't know if that's necessarily related, but a lot of the internet was down yesterday because of that. Weatherapi.com. Why did it not go there directly? I need to just throw away my computer. All right, pricing. Check this out. If I wanted to connect weather into my gear app, which actually might be pretty cool, we can connect that. I'll do that in a second here. Okay, but look at this. I can do, for $0 a month, I can do a million calls per month. It's pretty affordable, right? A million calls is a lot. If you are above a million and okay, now you're gonna have to pay $7. But if you're doing over a million calls per month for weather app, you probably have a lot of users and you're probably making at least $7 a month. It's probably making way, way, way more than that. So you can see it's very, very cheap to use these. You can also go into like OpenAI API pricing and you can look at what it costs to use to embed models into your own your own thing, right? We can't pull— and I want to, I want to just— I don't want you guys to get confused here, but this is a little bit confusing. You can't pull this ChatGPT— sorry, I need to get back over to, to this one here. You can't pull this GPT into somewhere else, but you can build your own AI. Into your app using the OpenAI API. Okay. That might be confusing a little bit. ChatGPT. So OpenAI, guys, is an LLM, a large language model, and it is what— it's the brain behind everything. We'll just say that. Okay. ChatGPT is actually a separate product that sits on top of OpenAI's API. It's a, it's a, an interface, right? When you go to ChatGPT, you are sitting on an interface that is sitting on top of that API. And if they built login, they've built a database that stores your conversations, they built project features, they built the ability to do this and that and whatever. Okay, but this is just all front-end interface. Okay, so let's bring this— let's actually do something with this now. Okay, so, okay, we've done this. This is, this is fixed. If I refresh this, I should have that image gone. We're good. Awesome. Built a new— or did a new blog today. Okay, so we're gonna go back to GearGuard AI. It's waiting for me for something here. Okay, cool. All right, so we're going to let it load for a second here, but we're going to build something. Um, I'm actually going to turn— actually, you know, we'll keep app testing on, but we're going to go— we'll go high. That's fine. Um, all right, let's add a, um, weather widget to Let's see where this can sit. Sorry, I'm just trying to do a little bit of design here. Let's look at the thing here. Let's add it to the header, to the header. It will show up in the middle of the header. If clicked on, it will bring up a weather page. Let's use the weather API key that I have stored in my account secrets. Okay, all right, so we're going to connect an AI or an API to this system. Now one of the things that I just have to do while it's working, I'm going to show you guys in here. So there's another thing here called Secrets. The Secrets is where you can get a bunch of different other APIs. The App Secrets, this is your session and your different things and there's an API set up already for, for an AI integration with OpenAI. But in my account, I have dozens and dozens of different API keys, right? I've used the weather API key before, right? Um, no, no, use the weather API key from the account secrets. Okay, it should, it should know this, it should be able to see that. But this weather API key is just using that free one that's over there. But this is where they're all stored, right? And you can look at them, you can edit them, you can add more secrets here, whatever. Um, usually what it does though is it will ask for it just like you just saw over there. Right? It asked for a Weather API key and— okay, so now here it is. And all you do, by the way, this is the cool thing. If you don't know how to do this, you don't have to know how to do it. It tells you exactly what to do. To add it, do this, right? Continue, right? I already have it saved, so I just have to click continue. But if I didn't, it would say go to weatherapi.com, sign up, copy this key, paste it here. It tells you exactly what to do. It's very, very easy to add in something like that. Okay. So now it's going to— now that it has access to the, you know, to the weather API thing, now it's got to build the front end. It's got to build a little interface. We do a little thing right here and probably right there, right there in the header. Okay. So now it's creating an endpoint and building all this stuff out to be able to make this actually come to life. But that's how easy it is to build that. So now what we're going to do after, after this finishes, we're going to build an AI chatbot. Okay. Now, who remembers we just did this a second ago while I was setting up the ChatGPT, GPT, right? The one that was there inside of ChatGPT. What are the things that it needed me to give it? What are the things that we had to provide in order so that the AI knew how to operate? And you had to give it some a description, some instructions. Yeah. You needed to give it like a couple prompts and then also, I mean, you didn't have to, but uploading some files would've probably helped it be more like accurate and sure. Totally nailed it. Okay. So basically, yeah, a name, a description, kind of what is it, how's it gonna act, a prompt for some instructions, maybe a knowledge base, right? Here's some stuff that it knows. And then yeah, maybe some sample prompts to start with or like a first prompt. Okay, virtually every single system out there operates exactly like that. Okay, so let's come in here. Let's go to— well, this is building. This is going to take a second to build. It's not going to be that long, but we'll just let it work on that for a minute. We're going to go over to ElevenLabs, which I already have open, probably over here. Yeah, here we go. Okay, so ElevenLabs, guys, is an AI voice agent system. They can do text agents as well, but we'll go to the creative platform first, please. There we go. All right. So let's click on the voices really quick here so you can click on these. These are, these are some, you know, existing one. These are trending voices, but we can just listen to what they sound like. You'll want to order these super strong Viagra by 5:00 this afternoon. Hey, I'm Zara. Let's create something that feels real, sounds human, and connects every time. She tore her gaze away from her ruined footwear. 22-year-old Dylan Price was last seen entering a Salt Lake City parking garage. The next morning, her car was found untouched, never moved. It's funny. The storm began as a whisper. So I think there was a new, I saw an update. So some of these voices are free and some of them come with, with like a royalty. So if you think you have a really good voice, you can actually come in here, upload your voice, and people can use your voice and you can make money. You can make royalties on it. Okay. Jabulo, you could maybe say, hey, you know what? I have a good South African voice. I'm gonna, I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna say a bunch of stuff. You have to record about 30 minutes of audio to create your own voice. To make it like really professional sounding. And we'll do that. You can actually create a voice in just a few seconds, right? A little progress each day adds up to big results. And so it's just saying random sentences. I didn't say it. Just like flowers need sun, you need kindness to grow. Right? But I can actually create and clone my voice with 10 seconds of audio. That's all it takes. You literally just go in, create voice, instant voice clone. And you just talk for 10 seconds and it's done. Really, really amazing. Okay. You can also, you can also find, I'm pretty sure I just feel Matthew McConaughey. Anyone? McConaughey.

That's a tough one. Yeah, I think that's, I think that's something like that.

Make— yeah, you got it. There you go. Hey, hey, I nailed that. That was, that was like a shot in the dark. But I saw something that said his voice is coming out. You're gonna be able to use it for whatever you want. Yeah, so that's pretty cool. ElevenLabs. Matthew McConaughey. Yeah, welcomes this. This was just a few days ago, one week ago. As part of this, been an investor, early supporter, and now as a customer. His newsletter is expanding. Maybe, um, yeah, Matthew's stories and content will be made available. Maybe you can't actually use his voice, um, but they're using it for other stuff. But anyway, so he's involved. That's cool. The reality is, guys, technically you could, you could just download some of his you can just take some of his recordings of his voice and create one. You just create a voice, you just upload some stuff, and you could technically use it. Now, do you have permission to use Matthew McConaughey's voice? No. So, you know, there's that, but whatever. Okay, so let's say we want to use Arabella here. Her ruined footwear. All right, I kind of like, um, actually, you know what, I'm going to use Zara. I'm gonna use, hey, I'm Zara. Let's create something that feels real, sounds human, and connects every time. Okay. So we're gonna use her as something. So I just added her to my voices. And so now we'll jump over to the agents platform. Okay. And let's build an agent. We'll go new agents and we're gonna call it blank and we're gonna call it, you know, Gear, GearBot. Okay. Create agent. And we're going to give it a prompt. Guess what? We already have a prompt. Ah, I knew if I clicked it was going to not work for me. Okay, you are GearBot. Paste. Done. Okay. Um, hey, I'm GearBot. How can I help? Okay, good. And we're going to use the voice. It's going to be— what was her name? I forgot. Sarah, right there. Okay, very cool. And I think I don't have to click Save. Yeah, okay, good. And let's save it. Let's go to the workflow if there is one. I don't need to do that. Now knowledge base, I can come in here, I can add a bunch of documents. Same thing. It's the exact same as ChatGPT, right? Just add document, add a bunch of stuff. I can add files, add a URL, create text, whatever. Okay? Analysis, I can look at conversations that have happened. I can do all kinds, I can give the agent tools. I give it the ability to end a conversation. I can give it the ability to transfer to a phone number. Right, so maybe I have it be my inbound secretary. It answers the phone. Hey, I'm— and by the way, if you do ever make an agent and you put it live out there, just say this is an agent. This is an AI agent, right? Don't try to pass it off as like, hey, I'm a real person, you know, because people just feel it, feel off a little bit. It's way better to say, hey, I'm GenAI's agent. Now I can get away with it because I'm an AI company, right? I can get away with it very, very easily, right? Hey, this is, this is GenAI's AI assistant. How can I connect you with the right people? Right? Oh, hey, you want to connect to Jon? Great. Transfer the number. Now, I don't want to do that because I'll be getting a billion calls a day. But if you had an office, you need to be able to transfer different people. You can literally set this up to replace the need for a secretary to do that. Okay? Voicemail detection, skip turns, detect language. Detect language. That's crazy. You could build something. You could build yourself a tutor that helps you learn Chinese or practice a language that you learn, you know, practice your Portuguese. Okay. So cool opportunities there. All right. So lots of cool things you can do. You can play around with all that, but let's preview the agent. Let's test it. Hey, I'm GearBot. How can I help? Yeah, I, I bought this kayak and I'm just trying to figure out a good place to store it. I don't have a lot of room. That's a great question. While I can't help with physical storage solutions for your kayak, the Gear app is perfect for managing all the accessories that go with it. You can catalog your paddle, life vest, and other essentials, track their condition. Anyway, so I can teach it how to talk, but I can talk back and forth to it. I can use it. It's amazing. Then I can go in and I can say, okay, I need my API key. All right, so here's— sorry, here's the developer section, API keys. I come in, I grab my key, and then I go back to my agents and I click on GearBot and I grab my little agent, um, ID right here. There it is. And I give that information to Replit and I say, hook up my agent, right? Hook this up to, um, in fact, let's copy this. Let's go back over here to Flowstate and man, the dang zoom thing, just, I'm constantly having to move it around while I'm doing this. But now look, hey, we're, we're doing good here. Now it's 78 degrees in here, but that's not where I am. So I think I probably need to open it in another browser and it should theoretically ask for my location dashboard. Okay, I would actually ask it to ask for location. Um, comes from api.com. What— how does it choose where it is? Yeah, I'm gonna click on it. It's kind of cool. I need the ability obviously to change the location. Um, I need the ability anyway. I, I need the ability to change because you guys know how to do that. I'm going to add the, the bot now though. We're going to add this to— let's add a chatbot to the bottom right-hand corner. Let's use the existing ElevenLabs API key. I have an agent ID, uh, sorry, a in account secrets of an agent ID that I can provide for you for GearBot, which is the name of the chatbot. Okay, so all I have to do is just say, look, I want a bottom right-hand corner, I'm on a little bubble or something that I can talk to. Um, it's going to be a voice-powered one. I have an agent ID that I can provide for you. And so it knows, okay, I'm going to go read all the API instructions and all these different things. And in a second, we'll have a little chatbot and I'll be able to paste the ID, and we should be able to talk to GearBot or Zara or whatever her name is in just a minute here. Any questions about ElevenLabs, guys? By the way, how much do you think ElevenLabs costs per month? $10. That's way too much. It's only 5. 5 bucks. You're 11 hours aging for GearBot. There should be a string identifier. Okay, hold on, back. I want you to, um ask for this as a secret. I also want for you to use the— oh yeah. Man, I'm telling it, it's already in account secrets. This is important, guys. You want it to store it as a secret. You don't want it to hardcode it in. You don't want to expose API keys. Okay, there's the agent ID. It asked for it as a secret. I just pasted it. Um, we can add that to account secrets. I don't have to worry about it. I should have actually called it GearBot in the secrets, but whatever. Then it should ask me if it has permission for the ElevenLabs API key. So anyway, it's going to be thinking for a minute. In fact, while it's working, guys, I was just looking at the time. Um, let's take our 15-minute break now, and then we'll come back and we'll see what it's done here, and we'll dive into the last, last couple hours here. So we'll go till 11:10. Okay guys, see you at 10 after. All right guys, welcome back. Final couple hours here. Time flies through these courses, guys. Like, I could do this, I could keep teaching you things for another 7 hours easily. But we're getting through some good stuff. Alright, so let me share my screen here. So yeah, it finished creating this, this AI agent, just added it in here and start up the call. Do a new call. Hey, I'm GearBot. How can I help? Hey, I just need help keeping track of my gear. That's exactly what the Gear app is for. It helps you catalog all your items, track their condition, and even reminds you about maintenance. So pretty cool, right? Installed it on the website. Didn't have to know how to do it. All I had to do was say, hey, I want a chatbot. I want to be able to do this. And now it's installed into the Gear app. Okay, so we installed two APIs just now. We installed a weather one, we installed ElevenLabs. We also already installed an AI one that's supposed to help with, you know, shop finding and other things. It's not built out yet, but technically it already has access to the API key. So, um, any questions on APIs, guys? I want to open it up for that for just a second. If— I mean, it's pretty straightforward. All you do is just kind of tell your developer what you need. Your developer then asks you for information if it needs it. Tells you where to get the information. Hey, Jon. Yeah, um, just a quick one. I just want to find out, in terms of all the apps that can be built through Replit, um, are you able to deploy them onto your app stores and, uh, Play Stores, or they just stay as web apps? So inside of Replit, you're, you know, in order to deploy to the App Store, you have to use you know, the App Store or the Apple Connect, and you have to use Google Play, you know, um, publishing, and you have to be able to do a bunch of things. And so you have to connect into some other systems. Now, can you do it? 100%. You're going to use something called Expo, Expo app, uh, deploy it. Yeah, yeah, we'll just click on the top link here. Anyway, this is how you would do it. Release the iOS and you basically just connect your Replit to this and then push it in this way. It's really easy. You trigger on push. When we push, you'll push the code. All that code that you were asking about, Morgan, earlier, that code just gets pushed. Soon as it sees that, then it builds it, then it publishes, it builds it, submits it. And it does everything for you. Okay? Really, really cool. Tons of apps do this. Tons of companies use it. I mean, there's a, there's a few big ones that, that, that use Expo. Also, if you don't know how to do this, just go to YouTube, right? Go like youtube.com and look up Replit to Expo. Right here. This one's actually a great one right here. Right? How do you make mobile apps? How do you push to it? 8-minute video, 17-minute video. These two will walk you through. Yeah. 5 minutes, even those 8 minutes. Anyway, that's all it takes. Okay? So yeah, you can definitely publish apps. I've seen many people do it with Replit. Many people in my course have taken, you know, taken it and gone and published apps. So I personally have not done it. I just haven't. Right? I have people on my team at GenAIPI who have done it. I just, I just haven't. I just like web apps. I don't like apps. It's, there's too many apps, right? I just wanna be able to go to a site and it's there and, and I don't wanna have to maintain it. Expo isn't free, but it's not, but it's not terrible. I mean, yeah, you're probably, for most of the things you're doing, like if you're really pushing an app, you're probably at $199 a month, right? But really most of what you're doing is gonna be starter. Right. So, hey, Jon, on this note, because the software I'm attempting to build with Replit at the moment, because it is a web app, I mean, I would like it eventually to push it to like actually make an iOS or Android app with it. Have you ever taken a web app and exported all of those files into— that was, that was Expo, was that? Essentially, I guess, use that as a base to then create your native iOS app or anything of that nature? Expo handles all of that for you. You don't have to go and recreate it again. You don't have to jump into Xcode and mess with anything. You just connect up Replit, follow that 5-minute video or that 8-minute video or whatever from Replit, and it will show you exactly how to just set up a process where you've got your app, it looks exactly right, and you just pushes it and it formats it properly and then pushes it into native. So you shouldn't have to, you shouldn't have to— it's, it's an easy next step. You shouldn't have to go and rebuild anything. Okay, have you— that, um, that software that you are using, it was Expo? Expo. Yep. Yeah. Just go to expo.dev. Alrighty. And then have you built anything out with that? Like as far as functionality and usability, is it similar to Replit? As nice as Replit is. So you're building in Replit. Expo is simply the connector. It's like the— Oh, okay. You'll build in Replit and then you'll push it to Expo and then Expo will do all this magic to it and then automatically publish to the App Store. You'll connect your App Store your, your dev accounts with Google and Apple and all those things. And by the way, guys, in order to publish an app to the App Store, you have to, you have to jump through some hoops these days. Like, it's not just anyone can jump in and do it. First of all, you have to usually pay for an account, right? So it's like $95 a year, I think, for Apple. Google might be free. But in order to publish, you have to, you have to have an EIN, right? So you have to have an actual company, right? You got to get your LLC or whatever it is here in Utah or wherever it is you and then you have to have a federal EIN. I'm sure it's different in South Africa, so I can't help you with some of those things, but you have to have a government entity and then you have to have— at least here in the US, you have to have what's called a DUNS number, D-U-N-S, right? You have to apply for that. It could take a couple of weeks to get that back. Right. A Dun Bradstreet number is what that is. And so it's just one of the, one of the systems you have to register with, with Google. If you want to publish an app, you actually have to for 2 full weeks have 12 users beta testing your app before you can even get it approved, right? So they've added some, they've added some, you know, barriers to, you know, make it a little bit harder to, you know, to do it. So anyway, and they want to, they want to, they want to keep, they want to keep it, the quality high, especially with AI these days. It's so easy to whip stuff up and They just want good, good content out in the App Store, but it's very doable. It's all very doable, but it's just, it's not kind of an overnight thing. You got to plan and be a real company to do that, and you'll spend a few hundred bucks probably getting, getting it ready to get onto the App Store. So those are a few reasons why I don't publish to the App Store, right? I can get everything I need out of the web app, you know, Focus. So anyway. Yeah, awesome. Okay, um, all right guys, we're gonna take just a second here before we, you know, jump, dive into kind of our last kind of sales and marketing section here. I want to talk about— this is kind of just like yesterday, we watched that video from Eric Schmidt. This is the day 2 section of that where we just kind of have a little group discussion here. And I want to talk about a concept called surf, don't swim. And this concept was, was coined by, um, a guy that used to be my chief strategy officer, um, He lives in Florida, super experienced guy, made a bunch of money in the dot-com era, dot-com bubble, almost made a lot more. He almost made like $300 million, ended up making like $30 million, right? But the dot-com bubble kind of killed it. He was supposed to— he was literally going public about a week after everything crashed. Like, it was really close back in like '99 or whenever that was. So, anyway, but super smart guy, has done very well. Actually originally from Kansas City. And after he, after he sold, he ended up buying a, a, what do you call it, a senior care facility with about 200 beds. And, you know, that's been one of his cool investments. And, and I'll tell you about a business that he built with that in a second here. But let's talk about surf, what surfing means versus swimming. Right. So he's written a book, Surf Don't Swim. I can I can send you a link to it if you want to read it. It's really good. But basically the concept is AI is this massive— it's the biggest wave that's ever come. It's a massive tsunami coming in. And so because AI is coming in, we need to learn how to surf it instead of swimming. If you're swimming during a tsunami, you're going to lose. You're going to lose that battle. Okay, if you're surfing though, you can actually do some pretty awesome stuff. Tsunamis actually bring some pretty good surfing conditions. A little dangerous, but, but they're pretty fun if you do it right. You can have a great, great ride. So, so let's talk about what that means for a second. What does— and this is a question for everybody, right? What does Netflix do? What's their— what's their business? What's their business model? What's their secret sauce? Making a subscription-based subscription streaming advertising now. Do they have advertising? Like, I— yeah, on lower-scale pay plans they do now. Yeah, I've always paid to stay away from that. I've never seen an ad on Netflix. So, um, but yeah, I just lowered mine. It's worth it. Got it, got it. Um, Yeah, I— it's worth it for me to pay an extra $5 to never have to stop anyway. So, um, yeah, I pay for YouTube Premium and Hulu Premium and YouTube TV Premium. I don't want to see ads, man. I just want to see my content. I hate waiting. But anyway, okay, so streaming, it's a media company, ads, um, cool. Did they invent any of those technologies? No. What's their— what's their secret sauce then? It's not those things. It's the experience. Elaborate, Drew. I mean, like, just the experience of how easy it is, one, but also like that you're able to do it from like the comforts of your home. And that just is different. So they don't really like— Amazon Prime can do that. Yeah, but Netflix started streaming. I'd say first they were, they were one of the first ones. They didn't like, I wouldn't say they started it, but they were one of the first ones to adopt it. Um, and, and it's also like extremely cheap compared to most actually as well. It is really good. I agree. And they were early. Um, they didn't start it, but they were early. They did not build streaming. They didn't build any of that stuff. Their Their core thing is actually their recommendation engine. That's actually what they're really, really good at. Did you know that at any given time Netflix has around 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of content on there? Okay. How many of you guys have like even scrolled past 1,000 pieces of content on Netflix? I maybe have. I don't think I've scrolled past 2,000. How many of you guys ever gone to like an Airbnb and the TV is logged into somebody else's Netflix account and you just like click on Dave or something and then all this weird stuff comes up and you're like, what is happening? Like, I'm uncomfortable. What is all this? Like, what are these shows? Like, I don't even know what this is. And you're just like, log out, log in. I want to see my stuff. And then like, I just feel good now, right? Netflix knows really well what you want. Want, right? And it puts great recommendations in front of you, and that's really their secret sauce, okay? They did not invent streaming. A company called Akamai did. They're the ones that made YouTube possible, and they're the ones that made Netflix possible. They're the ones that made all that stuff possible, and they continue to be a huge player in the space. Um, they didn't invent— Netflix did not invent the internet, right? They didn't invent streaming. They didn't invent any of those things, right? And so what they're doing is they're actually surfing on those other technologies. And here's what I mean by surfing. When the technology gets better, does your company get better or does it get worse competitively? Right. If it gets better, that means you're sitting on top of it. It goes up, you go up with it, right? So if the internet gets faster, does Netflix get better? Totally. If Akamai gets better and it can all of a sudden stream, you know, 8K without any problems, Does Netflix get better? Yeah, absolutely. Does Netflix have to pay to upgrade the internet streams that are happening? And does it have to pay to do any of those things? No, it doesn't. It just uses that technology and surfs on it. And this really is related to risk. So Netflix is a very, very good surfing company. Now, they are a production company as well. They have a production arm. They're not surfing over there. They're spending tons of money, losing a bunch of money, but it drives a bunch of other things. And so they can afford to do it. So let's look at another company. Is AT&T a surfing company or a swimming company? I would say probably both. Like they do a little bit of— I mean, they definitely like didn't create the iPhone, so they're obviously like surfing in that sense. They didn't create the internet, um, but they sell it. But then they also like— and they— I wouldn't say they didn't create the internet, but they like, they build a lot of these cell towers and stuff like that to actually make them a valuable provider. Very good. So you nailed it right there on that last piece. They're swimming because they actually do build the towers. They build the infrastructure. When it— when you want to upgrade from 3G to 4G to LTE to 5G to 6G to 20G, they have to spend billions of dollars to go and upgrade all of that stuff. All right. Remember, Netflix does not have to pay to upgrade the internet. They— when, when a cable gets messed up in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, they don't have to send someone down there to fix it. They have no risk. Risk. They just use the internet. Okay. AT&T, if a tower goes down, if there's a storm, if there's an electromagnetic storm from some solar flare and it, you know, kills a bunch of things, they have to deal with it. They have the risk. Right. And so what we want to try to do, guys, is we want to try to surf more than we're swimming. Okay. In building these and building our businesses here, this is a general entrepreneurship tactic, but it applies especially to a time like this when, when AI is out and coming and growing so fast. You've got this massive tsunami that's just going to absolutely demolish so many companies that are out there trying to swim. They're working too hard and they cannot keep up with the development of their competitors. So let's talk about this for a second. Jeremy, the guy that wrote this book, he has an amazing surfing company. So like I said, he has this, this senior center of, you know, 200 people living there. And one of the problems that old people have is they lose their minds a little bit. Alzheimer's, dementia, right? And one of the primary reasons that they do lose their minds is they don't use them enough. They're not talking enough to other people. Right. And so Jeremy saw that his insurance would pay for actually to pay people to come and talk to people like that's literally you know, a service you can, you can pay to have someone just come talk to you, right? You can also pay to have someone snuggle with you as well, but that's another business model we don't need to cover today. So, um, he said, well, I wonder what if I just use AI for that, right? What if I use ElevenLabs for that? And so he built a system that automatically, it's just like, you know, it's basically built with, with a thing like Replit. He didn't use Replit, he used a different thing. He's a developer too and he knows how to put things together. But he basically said, okay, I'm going to have a system that automatically calls people, right? And I'm going to have a system that automatically schedules those calls with nurses. And I'm going to have a system that automatically sends, you know, email pitches and sales pitches to these different senior centers around the country and whatever, right? And so, he built this AI thing where all it is is a bunch of API keys, you know, going and doing that. And then, the AI calls and talks to Betty, you know, every Tuesday at 3 PM or every day at 4 PM for an hour. And it remembers all of the conversations because it stores it all in a database, right? It remembers everything that's happening there. He's making now about $3 million a year passively, $250,000 a month. He's got about 20 centers doing it now. And by the way, guess who pays for it? The insurance company. The senior center, the senior care center doesn't even pay for it. They pay $90 per person per month. That's amazing. And by the way, it's something like 60% cheaper than paying humans to do the same thing. It works all the time. Every time the person is always excited, they're always there, they're always whatever. They always remember. They get to literally develop a relationship with this AI. That remembers everything. Like, it's crazy. And so he's built this amazing thing because it's cheaper to prevent Alzheimer's than to cure it. So he's helping prevent— Jon, can you share that? Because my wife's in that space. Yeah, yeah, I can find it. I can find it and give it to you. But yeah, but he— yeah, any of you guys could go build that business, right? He only has 20 care centers. There's tons of them in that— in this space. Go build it and go sell it. The one thing he had, the one advantage he had, by the way, is he understood care centers. He understood he had relationship with the, with, you know, UnitedHealthcare, who takes care of his health center. And so, he called up his rep over there, said, "Hey, if I were to do something like this, what would you guys pay for it?" And they're like, "Yeah, I think we could probably do, you know, $90 a month." And he's like, "Okay, great." And then, he also pays the senior care center 10% of that. Of that, right? So when he's calling up a care center to sell them, and he actually has brokers do it for him, he says you can offer them 10% of that so you can have a little bit of extra, you know, money to just take care of, you know, what it costs to schedule those, because that's an extra, you know, task they have to do to schedule those things, and their nurses have to be aware of it. There's a little bit of training, but he literally has one 20-hour-a-week part-time person that mostly just responds to emails and answers questions and to help with billing, right? And the rest of it is all AI automated. AI writes the emails, AI schedules the calendar invites, it schedules everything, it makes the calls, it provides a phone number if they just want to call at any time. Unbelievable, right? And he uses 11Labs. His total API costs monthly is under $1,000 a month. So he's just raking in the dough. $3 million a year. You can buy a new house every year. Well, not in Miami where he lives, but you know, anyway. So, um, think about that, guys. Think about how, how you can surf instead of swim. Let me show you another example of surfing. This is a very simple and obvious one, but a lot of people don't think like this. Well, that's big news. General Conference will no longer include a Saturday evening session. It's fun. Breaking news. All right, so this is my— this is my mom. She has this awesome Facebook profile. A couple years ago I said, hey Mom, you know, you have a lot of good videos of— you know, she likes to go travel and she's a photographer. You got lots of good videos of, you know, elephants and stuff. Look at that, 916 likes on that. So you should just start posting them to Facebook. She had like 300 followers at that time, and she just started posting. And now, like, 2,200 likes on that one. Anyway, now 2 years later, 812,000 followers. Absolutely crazy. All she does— my mom is the least, like, social media influencer type person you could Like, you would never meet her and be like, oh, she's a social media influencer. Not even close. But I said, look, just post every day, right? There's one 2 hours ago. There's something at 6:15 AM yesterday. 2 days ago. She does it once a day. It looks like she did 2 that day. Day before. Day before. November 15th. November 14th. November 14th. So she's doing good. She's just been consistent with it. How much money do you think she makes on this every month? It's about $20,000 a month. Just paying her for the views.

Oh, I guess that was my question. Is this like a— how does she monetize? I guess I don't understand how you monetize her posting that.

Lots of views. Views. Facebook pays for views. If you have a video that gets a billion views, you're gonna make $20,000 just on that video. Right. Do you have to set that up or it's just an auto thing? Yeah, you know, you do. You have to, you have to get up to a certain number of followers or whatever, and then you, then you apply for monetization. You switch to a professional profile or whatever. It's not hard though. Like, anyone can do it. I, I make, I make money. I don't make nearly as much as she does. And it's freaking annoying because I post every day and I work hard at this thing and she just posts random dumb little videos of elephants and Look at that, 10,000 people like that one. Ridiculous. You should see her notifications, they're just crazy. It's like, oh, you got a follower, you got a follower, you got a follower, you got a follower, right? I mean, she'll hit a million, she'll hit a million followers probably by like, I don't know, February, probably. Just amazing. Yeah, she followed 77 people. Yeah, it's just awesome. So anyway, um, she's surfing because as Facebook makes their algorithms better As the internet gets faster, as Facebook gets more users— and by the way, guess what she uses to film these videos? Other technology that she's surfing on, right? Her phone, right? She doesn't even have to hardly do anything. It just happens. It's amazing. It's amazing. So anyway, guys, um, there's a lot of ways you can surf. But as an entrepreneur, you have limited resources and limited time. Remember what the two biggest risks to entrepreneurship are? Time and money. Okay. In this course so far, you've learned about how you can, in a very, very short amount of time, build incredible software solutions, incredible ideas, bring it to life, and you can do it for almost no money. Okay. Jeremy is spending $1,000 a month, making $250,000 a month. He has almost no risk at all from that. Absolutely crazy with his, you know, calling the senior, you know, calling old people with AI. Just absolutely crazy, guys. So I want you— I want you to just think about your business. Are you trying to build something that has already been done, right? That's a really, really important thing. If you have, for example, maybe you want to set up something where people can automatically book meetings with you, okay, for your thing. Well, you could spend time building that and maintaining that code, or you can pay $10 a month to Calendly and just integrate that via an API, right? You could build your own weather whatever, or you just use the weather API. Surf, surf on as much technology as possible. If you can just be this thing that's connecting a bunch of other technologies and you found a way to make that valuable to other people and you don't have to build any technology, you have almost no risk. Your primary risk at that point— I will say this— your primary risk is what if that thing that you're built on goes down? What if Facebook goes down for my mom? What if she gets kicked off the platform for some reason? Okay, you know, um, what if ElevenLabs goes down? Well, the good news is most of these APIs and things, there's 10 different versions of them, right? There's 10 different weather APIs, there's 10 different, you know, AI voice platforms. You know, Google has— Google has an amazing voice platform. Um, ChatGPT is an amazing voice platform, right? 11Labs is still the best. They are the best. They are the leader for sure. But, but if it goes down, that's okay. Jeremy just swaps the API key to another one, switches a couple things up in the code. AI helps him do that and he's fine. He's down for a day, right? Gets it all back up and running. No big deal. Okay. So, Jon, is there a market to mimic and make better, or is it strictly you're better off coming up with totally unique ideas? You know, because everything has competition usually, right? Something good comes out and then someone else comes out, either they have a lower price point or they improve that there's something of value that they're going to say, hey, we can— the big guys do this, but we can do that. Is that something that's done in AI or usually not a good idea? Well, it's done with anything. You can mimic anything you want. Dave, how many— I know, but Dave, how many of your small businesses have been original ideas?

I don't think a single one has been an original idea.

Yeah, that's just a general business thing. If you have competition, that's good. A lot of people are like, oh, but this guy's doing— I had, you know, I went to this Boost Conference the other day and where I met Andrew and— or Drew and Andrew anyway. So, um, but I had someone else come, you know, to do one of these mentorship kind of, uh, you know, meetings. And I was talking to this really smart guy, he has like 2 PhDs and he's doing a third one right now, and he's like, I just don't know how to turn into a business. And I was like, well, what do you do? Tell me about what you do. And we came up with this awesome idea, and he's like, yeah, but there's another company that already does that. And I was like, awesome, that means the market wants what you have, so go do it better than him. Go beat him, right? I love competition. Competition gives me something that I'm like, okay, this is what they're doing, I'm going to be here and I'm going to win. That's it, right? If I have no competition, no one has anything to compare against. It's actually harder to sell. Right? But if I can compare my, my cool, you know, or flight deals to kayak.com— 40% cheaper than kayak.com, amazing! Everyone knows what I do now, and now I've got something I can, I can sell against, right? Competition's awesome. Go take an idea that you like, make it better, right? Just be like, man, experience was terrible, I can make this better. Go ahead, Dave.

I just had a quick question. What do— what tool, AI tool, do you recommend for those types of email automizations, um, you know, email chains, that kind of thing, for the, you know, your friend Jeremy with that service that he has? What's the question exactly? Uh, just is, could, like, what soft— what AI tool can you enter those, uh, automations?

Is that through Manus, or like, how did you— you're saying like in terms of the emails that are going out and and things like that, or? Yeah. Yeah. So he just built a— so SendGrid is a perfect one, right? So that's not necessarily an AI thing. That's just an email service. He just has an AI automatically doing stuff on the backend. So he's probably connecting things like ChatGPT, SendGrid. SendGrid is just like an email API service, right? So you can do API-driven email stuff. Okay. And then he's connecting 11Labs, and then he's probably got some sort of CRM in there, some database that's just keeping track keeping track of calls and things like that. And then he just has the AI put it all together.

And the AI that kind of sits on top of that, would that be like ChatGPT or— yeah, OpenAI.

OpenAI. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Remember, ChatGPT is not an AI. ChatGPT is an interface that sits on top of OpenAI. AI, right? You could literally go into Replit right now and say, I want you to build, chatwithdave.com, and I want you to use the OpenAI API. I want it to operate exactly like ChatGPT, but I want it to be better in these ways. And boom, all of a sudden you'd have this AI interface where you can ask anything and you could charge $20 a month and you could run ads on Facebook, chatwithdave.com, or you could make, you could remake Hey, bring, bring back to life AskJeeves.com, right? And you could give it a voice. You could give him a, you know, make him a British butler or whatever you want to do, right? Andrew and Drew, do you guys know what Ask Jeeves is? I think I sold on that, Jon, years ago. I have never heard of Ask Jeeves before. That's awesome. It was early. That was like one of the first search engines, and then Google came in and just destroyed them. It was slow. It was way slower. Google was just like instantaneous.

And anyway, Ask Jeeves, one of the first search engines.

Google took a good idea and did it better, right? There you go. It's exactly right, Morgan. Yeah, take the good idea and make it better. Um, I mean, heck guys, you could literally— I'm not even kidding, I actually did it one time. I kind of half built it. I built Replit myself. I built Replit with Lovable. So you can do it. You could build Replit with Replit. You really could. And by the way, remember guys, Replit is just an interface. Underneath the hood, Replit is Claude. It's, it's, it's a, you know, it's, it's like OpenAI, but it's made by Anthropic. Claude is just another AI. Okay, that's what's under the hood. And Sitting on top of that is a prompt that tells it how to work. And then they built this cool interface with all these buttons. Here's the files and here's where you chat with the agent. Here's where we're going to preview things and here's your secrets manager and here's your database manager. And so they've connected. It's a lot of work, right? They're a $3 billion company. That's a huge thing to try to replicate, right? But if you wanted something that could like whip up cool previews of things, It's not that hard. You have to build something that can store code and something that can render code. That's it. Because rendering code is what a browser is. I mean, you could rebuild any of this stuff. You think you can— okay, let me, let me say something I said yesterday. So I spoke yesterday at UVU and, um, at this class, and the professor was a pretty experienced entrepreneur, super nice guy. Super experienced and just really great person to learn from. But I said something that kind of like blew his mind and he's like, I, I can't believe you just said that, but it's true. I agree with it, right? I said we were talking about like, where is value really created in the world now? Is it created in an idea? How much do ideas cost? Anybody know the price of an idea? Dime a dozen. Okay, ideas are a dime a dozen. Okay, and that's probably too much. I agree more with Morgan, it's almost zero, especially because you could sit down with ChatGPT and just come up with an idea. Okay, so there's no value there. Is there any value in creating a solution, a software solution, now, let's say, as compared to 5 years ago? Almost nothing. There's almost no value in the creation of the software itself now, because everyone sitting on this call now, you guys could recreate HubSpot, you could recreate Calendly, and you could recreate— you could create a browser, you could create all these things. That's cool. Anyone can do it now, and it's only going to get easier. It's only going to get better. So because we can create a business in a weekend, we can create software in a, in a day or maybe a month if you want to build something crazy. Right. But the point is, it's now a few hundred bucks, maybe, maybe $20 if it's an easy thing. I bet you could recreate Jeremy's thing, you know, that he's doing with these senior care centers. I bet you could do it for $50. I bet you could create the whole thing for $50. So there's no value now in your idea. Or in creating the idea and bringing it to life? So where is the value created?

I got a guess. Yeah.

Distribution. And how you get it out to people. That's it. That is the value. Okay. So that brings us to our next and final kind of stage here that we're going to talk about, guys, with sales and distribution. We'll also do some images and video stuff in here because you need collateral, you need Facebook ads, you need stuff for your website, you need all that stuff. You got to be able to paint a nice vision, right? So, sorry, I need to just look at my phone real quick and check my blood sugar. So guys, the— if the value is created in distribution, what if you don't know how to sell? What if you're not good at marketing? How are you going to are you gonna win if that's just not your strength? What do you guys think? Ask ChatGPT. Good start, Dave. I agree, I agree. What would you ask ChatGPT? What would you ask ChatGPT though? Let's say, let's say you're taking my Gear app, right? What am I going to say to ChatGPT exactly, right?

I think you'd want to feed it, you know, this is my messaging, this is my target audience, that kind of information, then say, hey, ask me how to market this, price it, promote it, that kind of stuff.

What, what's the end goal of marketing and sales? Conversion. Get actions. Getting customers, right? In my case, for the Gear app, it would be signups. I need people to sign up, right? And so what if I was like, okay, hey, I got to start, um, let's go for 100. I need 100 users. How long do you think it would take to get 100 users? Depends on who you are. Yeah, I mean, that's a great answer. You could probably get it within a couple days.

Can you, Jon— I don't know, I'm just thinking about what you said. Can you— said, okay, yeah, absolutely, use AI, use ChatGPT. Why wouldn't you use the same formula you taught us yesterday considering you've got You've got ChatGPT, you got Grok. Grok has— knows the market. He knows what people are looking for. It knows what people are searching. It knows who they're following, right? I mean, it's, it's got data, and you told me it's a great market analysis. So if you're going and you're looking for people wanting to know how to market, why wouldn't you start off with some questions in chat and then go confirm it of what you're thinking in your plan over in Grok, kind of like what you did.

You play them off of each other. Is that— I think it's an amazing idea. I think it's exactly what I want you to do after this class. I hope that your mind has shifted a little bit. So you're like, okay, I know how to get into a quick, deep analysis and then bounce it off a couple of AIs, gut check, and hey, now I'm going to go, right?

Because I don't think you have to know anything about marketing. I don't, I don't think you have to know that much at all about how to really market. You don't even have to know how to sell and be a great salesman. You have the tools and you know what people go for, you know the words that they're looking for based off data.

I agree completely. What if you wake up tomorrow and you just say to ChatGPT— in fact, let's do it, just do it right now. Okay, let's get in back to Gear Manager here. And let's say, how can I get 100 users in the next 8 hours? Okay. Now, here's the cool thing. ChatGPT knows me. It knows how many followers I have. It knows the types of things that I do and talk about and what I'm about and all this stuff, right? But here you go. Here's hour 1. I'm going to leverage my network. 20 quickest wins, right? Text blast, friends, family, athletes, founders, influencers, whatever, right? Hey, quick favor. Launch a new app. Can you download it? What do you think? Awesome. Okay. Expected we'll get 15 to 25 users maybe in the first hour. Hours 1 to 3, social blast. Right. And you don't even have to do that. You could, in fact, I would probably do the social blast first and then start texting people while I'm waiting for people to see that and sharing it and whatever. Okay. Post this. I'm building something new. I need 100 users today. Literally tell people that. I love that idea. You know how few people actually do something like that and be that direct?

I'm trying to get 100 users today. I think that's the best way to get a sale. It's just asking for the sale. I get sick and tired of people always going around in these loops and trying to like sell me on stuff. I'm like, just ask me for it.

Like, it's not that hard. 100%. And I've found you guys, those of you that follow me on social, you see that sometimes I just ask for a sale. I give a lot of value and I talk about a lot of stuff, but then some of them's like, hey, come sign up for my course next week. It's $1,250. Come do it. Right? And people sign up and it's great because I'm just telling you what I have. Right? And we're gonna talk about, we're gonna talk about social more in a second here. Okay? But yeah, add a story. Trying to get 100 users in 8 hours. Need your help. Boom. So this is literally just like, hey, I'm going to get 100 users. And then when you're done with that, no one's going to think it's weird if you're like, hey, I blew past my goal. I got 300 users. I'm going for 1,000 now. Help me out. Let's go share this, you know? And people kind of get behind these little movements and you can go from 1,000 to 10,000 to 1 million, right? If the right person picks it up and it's a really cool thing, it's got to have value. You also come in and say, hey, great places to post ultralight camping gear, overlanding, kayaking on Reddit, right? Go talk about this. Hey guys, I'm doing this thing, right? I built a tool. Like, I have so much stuff. I built this thing. Tell me what you guys think, right? BYU Athlete and Adventure Communities knows that I have that. It knows that I'm doing all these things. And there's probably tons of other groups, okay? Direct outreach with incentives. 30 to 50 personal messages, whatever. It's free if you do this. Hey, I'll give you a free month of, uh, you know, I'll give you 3 months of free premium or whatever. Hey, if you invite, use your code and you invite 3 people, you get a free month of premium. You can create some viral loops and things like that. Okay, but the point is, in 8 hours, in one day of your first day of your app, could you get 100 users, maybe 250 users? Totally, man, right? One thing that I think is really, really, um, effective for entrepreneurship is giving yourself an unreasonable goal. Most people will do something like, like Andrew, I don't think your answer of a couple days, or Drew, maybe whoever it was that said that, um, you know, like, probably a few days you could do it. Depends on who you are, right? If you've got a big following, you can do it maybe a little bit easier or whatever. But just, it doesn't matter if you have 30,000 followers or if you have 5 followers. You know people, you know how to get onto Reddit, you know how to go find Facebook groups, you know how to do this. You just have to be willing to say, okay, Hey, what's something crazy? Like, could I get, could I get my first customer by tomorrow? That was my goal. That was my goal when I started Jenny API. It's just, can I get my first customer by tomorrow? And then that just led to me trying things and doing things, and it kind of took this barrier away of like what's normal. I was just like, okay, I'm gonna do something that's crazy. And then people wanted to follow it, people wanted to see it, and they liked it. And so use ChatGPT to, to figure out, you know, to come up with some crazy plan and then do the plan. Like literally, if you just said, I'm going to do exactly what it says, right? Have you ever tried going on ChatGPT and saying, help me write a viral post? If you've never done that, try it and then do exactly what it says. And then it will say, okay, you're going to post this. Here's what it's going to do, right? And by the way, I've done this before. I've tried it before and it's worked quite well, but it usually starts off with way too many emojis and weird stuff like that, right? So make it yourself, make it yours, okay? And be like, look, I don't want to use emojis. I don't want to do this. I don't want to be like really bad and get rid of these types of statements and let's focus a little more on this and let's really inspire people or whatever it is. Okay? And then you can edit it, change it, and then say, okay, I'm going to paste it. And then it will say, do you want me to give you kind of an action plan to make sure it goes viral. Yeah. Okay, great. You're going to text it to 5 people here and then you're going to send some people on this and you're going to do that. And then you're going to get a bunch of people to comment. Ask a few people that you know to just comment on it really quickly, reply to them and ask them to reply back again. That gets some activity going up and then have people like it. And then in about an hour, it's going to have a bunch of stuff. A lot of people have commented. Instead of commenting right when they comment back, wait, and then in an hour do a reply reply blitz and comment on— reply to all the things that were commented on it. It knows, it understands how the LinkedIn algorithm works. It understands how Facebook algorithms work. It understands this stuff. And so just do what it says. It's an expert. It's an expert at it, right? So that's the beginning, guys. Let's talk about social media for a second, okay? How many of you guys have posted on Facebook about your business? No one, right? So posting on your personal social media about your business. What about vice versa? What about on LinkedIn about your personal life? Like, hey, I went, I went kayaking, or I went on a vacation, or something like that, right? Yeah, I've seen a couple people nodding. That's good, that's good. A lot of people really just try to be— and it's really actually kind of a stressful way to live— they try to be two different people. You're one person on Facebook, you're a different person on LinkedIn, you're a different person on TikTok, you're a different person on Instagram. Maybe you're a different person in real life, I don't know, right? What I decided to do a few years ago that has paid incredible dividends is to just be the same everywhere, right? Sometimes I post professional things on Facebook that's like, hey, here's how you can get a better job, here's how you can start a company better, here's how you can work with AI, here's how you can do this. And people appreciate that. People that I know that are more kind of in my social, you know, my, my, I don't know, my more Facebook personal network, they're like, yeah, Jon, I see you do this stuff all the time. Do you know how many customers I have gotten from, from Facebook and how much revenue that has turned into, it's easily— I would say in the last year, it's easily $500,000. Easily. From Facebook alone. From LinkedIn, it's probably $4 million, right? And that's because I built up a great following and I talk about stuff all the time and I'm very, very consistent. Okay. People want to do business with people they like. So on LinkedIn, if I post a kayaking thing, right, if I see Dave post something kayaking on the Payette River, you know, I'm going to comment on that because I love the Payette River and it's one of my favorite places. And I'm like, oh, Dave, you do this thing and we should, we should chat, right? Like, I didn't know you did that thing, but you brought me into your profile because of something else I'm interested in. Right? That's cool. People want to do business with people they like. Or maybe I post something of, hey, I was at the BYU game, and other people were like, that was an amazing win. And now we're all connecting, and people are like, oh yeah, Jon, you do AI. I have some questions about AI. We're just talking about that the other day, right? You see, you know, that this means you have to have your LinkedIn headline, you know, well optimized, right? Your LinkedIn profile shouldn't say, you know, Dave Satterwhite, CEO. No, just say Dave Satterwhite, I help people do this. Right. They can find out that you're a CEO, right? I help people save money with this, right, Morgan? I help people do this. I help, I help with background checks, right? I do background checks better than anybody else, right? Whatever. That's what your, your, your, your LinkedIn thing should be. And you can have— I'll show you, I'll show you my LinkedIn really quick. And again, I'm— guys, I'm not, I'm not an expert. But I listen to lots of experts and I have really tried to optimize stuff, right? Chief AI officer, right? Jon Cheney leading people to use AI. So very quickly I'm telling them exactly what I am, what my core product is, and here's what I try to do. And then yeah, hey, why? So the competitors don't leave 'em behind. Also, I'm a creator, adventurer, entrepreneur, musician, leader, speaker, driven by faith and family. One tech exit done. Okay, awesome. I, you know, Amazing. I'm about to hit 21,000 followers. I was at 20,000 followers like a month ago. That's about 1,000 in a month. That's pretty good. So anyway, and then my profile is well optimized, lots of information, lots of good stuff. And so people can very quickly figure out what I'm doing, but they really don't have to leave my headline to really understand, this is probably someone I want to connect with, right? They see I'm a BYU grad, I do AI stuff, I've got a good cover photo here. If you go to Facebook, and look at my, just my profile here. Digital creator, owner and CEO of Velocity Access. I need to change that to GenAIPI, right? But it knows a few other things here. It's got my LinkedIn though. It's got an Instagram and other things, a couple places. Dad, CEO, creator, kayaker, musician, member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, right? And so this one actually I could optimize a little bit better. I think I have optimized my Instagram one better. I think I just, I think I probably thought that I did it on Facebook, but that's not as optimized as I'd want it to be. But entrepreneur and creator, pianist, composer, adventure, whitewater kayaker, father, husband, member of this, Jenny IPI. So I've got, I've got the things that I care about. I've got my piano music, JonCheney.com. I've got JennyIPI.org, well linked, easy to get to. Does anybody think this would be better for Thanksgiving instead of turkey? Because I do.

I'm not really a turkey. I sent that to my buddy and I say, look what I'm going to eat. Eating. Because I thought that was— yeah, I think it's some kind of a Buc-ee's sandwich or something like that, from what I—

it might be, I don't know. Whatever it is, I want to eat it.

So anyway, guys, I, I fell in love the moment I saw it.

It looks awesome.

The more meat on a burger, the better. Exactly. Yeah, if you can't get your mouth around it, that's great. You just have to take it apart, you know, just eat it piece by piece. But guys, look, social media is one of the easiest, freest, most far-reaching ways to get your message out. The easiest way, the easiest way to not sell your product is to not tell anyone about it. Okay? Keep it a secret. But if you don't want to keep it a secret, tell everybody what you do. Post on Facebook. Now, you don't have to post on Facebook every day about what you do, right? Have a cadence, right? Once a week, talk about, hey, and by the way, guys, you, you, you don't have to, you don't have to, when telling people what you do, you don't have to necessarily ask for a sale. I don't have to be like, sign up for my course, right? I can be like, hey, I work with businesses with AI and, you know, I was working with a company today and we saw this cool thing and I wanna show, show you guys. Right. Here's, here's all this cool stuff you can do with AI. Isn't that cool? Awesome. Move on. So you're providing free value, right?

They still know AI, right? That's one thing that I, I've learned that I've tried to do. I used to, a long time ago, I used to say, oh, I'm the, you know, president of this and this, or I'm the CEO of this and this. And I completely changed after taking a bunch of entrepreneurial classes like 15 years ago. And they said, no, no, no, tell them what problem you're solving. Yeah. Yeah, Morgan, this is the problem that we solve in the company. They don't care that you're the CEO. They don't care that you're the owner. They don't give a crap on who you are from, you know, that aspect. What they care about is what are you doing to solve the problem.

Yeah, you know what's an easy post you guys can do today if you want to? Um, jump on whatever social media you have— TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, whatever it is— create a quick video and just say, I help— I don't know if you guys know this, but I help businesses with X or I help X with Y, right? If you need help or do you know anybody that needs help with this, vote below and then put a little poll, yes or no, and then reach out to everyone that says yes. Hey, you answered yes. How can I help? Super easy post. And do stuff like that regularly, right? Like, hey guys, just a reminder, I help, I help, you know, I help you buy homes. I'm a realtor. If you're in the— are you in the market? Yes or no? And then put a button that they can click. People will click a button. If you say, hey, reach out to me, that's harder, right? You got to make it like tap. And if they say yes, now you can start that conversation very naturally. Hey, you said yes. You looking for a home? You guys moving? That's awesome. I didn't know that. Cool. Let me help you. Do you already have a realtor? I'd love to work with you. Right? Or, hey, I don't live there, but I know someone in that area. Can I make an introduction for you? Whatever. So anyway, it's really quite easy to do it. Now, I want you guys to know how important social media is. Gen A, Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Gen Beta, Gen Alpha, Gen Beta, Gen Alpha, Gen Beta, Gen Alpha, Gen Beta, Gen Alpha, Gen Beta, Gen Alpha, You're looking for a home? You guys moving? That's awesome. I didn't know that. Cool. Let me help you. Do you already have a realtor? I'd love to work with you. Right? Or, hey, I don't live there, but I know someone in that area. A GenAI API, and I've pulled in about $3 million of contracts in the last 8 months. Okay. Virtually 100% of my deals with GenAI API have been organic on LinkedIn and Facebook and other places, right? But, and then referrals, right? And then it just kind of goes out because people just know, hey, Jon does AI. Cool. But I'm just loud about it. I talk about it every day. I'm posting something about AI. Sometimes I post about other things, but I usually will get an AI post in every day. I want you guys to read this book. I will make no money off of it, but Gary Vee, you guys probably know who Gary Vee is, a couple of you at least. He's amazing. This book costs maybe $20. Heck, Gary Vee might even give it away for free on his website. I don't know. There might be a PDF out there, but it came out last year. There's also an audiobook if, you know, if that's your style. Actually says USA, $40. I don't think I paid $40 for this, but Anyway, it's worth $40 if that's what it costs. But day trading attention— this concept is so amazing. Gary Vee, how many times do you think he posts to social every day across all of his platforms? And each 10 per platform, he's always posting. It's about 60. It's about 60 total posts across all platforms. Right. That's crazy. That's crazy. But what's he doing? He's day trading attention. He's constantly in your face. Now, is he always talking about his business? No. Who knows what Gary Vee's favorite football team is? Jets. The Jets.

How'd you know that? Right.

You're just between his main— he talks about it. He does. I actually learned this from him years ago. This is why I am a complete person on all my profiles. It's because Gary Vee did that. He's just proven that that model works well. And then if you look around and you look at the Dan Martells or the Tony Robbins or whatever it is, right? Tony Robbins actually kind of just sits, sits in his, you know, motivational spot. But, but a lot of people out there, guys, lots and lots and lots of great gurus and influencers and people and whatever they are, they just are public about what they do and they talk about it and they show their Thanksgiving meal and they show their, you know, I'm at this basketball game tonight and I went on a date. Date with my wife and, um, and yeah, hey, I'm speaking at a conference and I'm talking about this thing and whatever. And they're just— people know what they do and they see what's going on. Um, I have people come up to me all the time. My, my wife and my kids, you know, call me a celebrity. I really don't feel like a celebrity. I really, really don't. I feel like a very normal, average guy, and I am. But everywhere we go, someone comes up like, you're Jon Cheney. Like, I was at the football game, the BYU football game the other day, and I was down on the field right at the tunnel, like right next to where the players run out. And one of the guys that was going to be running out, he's a big sponsor of BYU, he's going to be running out on the field. I'd never met him before, a guy named Charlie Peterson, and, you know, very experienced and wealthy CEO, whatever. But he wants to learn about AI and whatever. And he just turned around. I was standing right there and he's like, how do I know you? And I was like, I'm Jon Cheney. He's like, Jon, he's like, I've been wanting to take your AI classes forever. I need you to come work with my business and all this stuff. And, you know, all of a sudden, and I'd never met this guy, right? But he follows me on LinkedIn. And then I actually looked him up during the game and I was like, oh yeah, he comments on this stuff all the time anyway, just because I'm out there. I'm just out there doing, I'm just talking about stuff. And because I do it consistently, I've become a voice in that thing. Now, how do you become a voice in that thing or in whatever? You have to post every single day. Even if you just post once a day, that's fine. But you have to post every day. If you actually miss a day, LinkedIn will ding you and they'll bury you in the feed until you post a day and then they'll bring you back up, right? But they will, they will follow you, your patterns as a creator. If you do it every single day. And you can use tools. You can use tools to do this and AI to automate this. If you want. Okay. There's several different options out there. You can use some of the built-in options like LinkedIn. You can schedule posts. Facebook and Instagram, you can schedule posts. Twitter, you can schedule posts. Or you could use something like— you guys ever heard of Hootsuite or Buffer? Right. Those are amazing tools that allow you to schedule posts across multiple platforms. You could put one post up and then have— and then say, I want this to go to X. I want it to go to Instagram and Facebook and LinkedIn and Tumblr and whatever whatever things you're doing, right? Pinterest. You can have it go everywhere, okay? And it will automatically say, I want this to all go out at, you know, 12 PM on Sunday or 6:45 AM. Which, by the way, 6:45 AM, that's your best time in Utah to post on LinkedIn, okay? 6:45 AM. Why? People are awake, they're kind of scrolling their phone. Some people are probably sitting on the toilet, they're kind of getting ready for the day. They're not quite into the, you know, it's early enough that they're not like out the door or whatever. A lot of people are on their phone at that time. It's a great, great time. Here's another thing that's maybe a little cringy, but for LinkedIn it works. And you know, use it or don't use it— like your own post right when you post it. Feels weird. I still don't feel good doing it. Every time I do it, I'm just like, it feels weird, right? And I like, what are people going to think when they see that I liked my own post. But the reality is I get way better distribution. I'm not kidding you, 10x distribution. And I learned that, by the way, from reading on Reddit posts and things, and people said, yeah, you should like your own post. And so I actually like my own post by me. I like— I have Gen AI Pi like my post, and I have one of my other companies like my post. So I immediately— what LinkedIn then sees, the signal it sees is, oh, the, the number of likes and the speed at which these likes are coming is, is is above— like, here's the average growth rate of a post. This one's going like this. It's outperforming regular things. And so I'm going to keep boosting it. It must be something good, right? And so my posts now get 50 to 100 likes and sometimes more than that on average because I just, I just follow this thing. So learning these ins and outs, learning these little tricks— follow, listen to that book, guys. That's a great listen. Go mountain bike through the mountains for 3 hours and listen to the book. It'll take you a few mountain bike rides to do it, but But, you know, it's, it's, it's a great one that will help you figure some of these things out. But I want you guys posting every day. You don't have to post about your business every day, but post about your industry or industries every day. Maybe you could set up even a content calendar that's more kind of, hey, Throwback Thursday and, you know, Monday, Monday morning brief, you know, on, you know, the state of the industry that I'm in. And, you know, Sunday is maybe something related to your, your I don't know, your beliefs or something you care about deeply, right? Maybe it's church-related, maybe it's not church-related, but it's just something more inspirational. It's whatever, right? And Saturday is like, hey, you know, I love— I'm so, so grateful Saturday's here. You know, I get to spend more time with my kids today and it's what we're doing, whatever. You know, you can relate it back to work however you want, but you could set up your own strategy. And by the way, guys, I talked about Hootsuite as something that can schedule things out for you. What if you then plug in to the front end of Hootsuite an AI that automatically creates posts and uploads them to Hootsuite for you? So now you have an AI automatically creating, uploading to Hootsuite, automatically posting. You could do 60 posts per day. Now, I would not personally do that with my personal social media, right? If Jon Cheney is posting it, Jon Cheney's posting it. But for GenAIPI, all day, man. Like, hey, pick something on the website, pick something from one of our lessons, pick a question, a quiz or something, whatever, and just set up all these things. There's automations. It's something that's just kind of on my to-do list with Genie API. I want to just add a social media manager that just automatically posts to me every single day or for me every single day, right? So use these automation tools. Okay, let's talk about automations for a minute. Okay, we're going to jump back into some screen sharing. And show you how you can bring some of that stuff to life. Okay. So first of all, we'll just go to Hootsuite. For those of you that don't know what it is, I just want you to see it. Hootsuite, like an owl hoot. Okay. And again, you basically just say, hey, here's my calendar or here's my, here's my thing. We're going to post this this day and this and this and whatever. It's so, so easy to do. Another one that I like is Buffer, buffer.com. Both of these have APIs. You can, you basically get in here like this. Um, yeah, here you go. So yeah, this person is connected, their LinkedIn and Instagram and Facebook and TikTok and YouTube and Threads. And hey, Monday at 4 PM, Monday at 6 PM, this is what I'm doing. This is already ready to go. New session slots open for here. It's so easy. And the pricing is pretty dang cheap with these guys. I mean, look, $5 a month. Come on. You have no excuse, guys. It takes time to set up. It really does. $6 a month if you want to pay monthly. Sorry. But anyway, that's an automation tool. Zapier is one that's been around for a while, and now they're calling it the most connected AI orchestration platform because they're doing some pretty cool stuff. They're doing some pretty cool stuff here because they've added AI automations. But basically, guys, it's like, okay, when this happens on this platform, do this, and then that kicks off this, and then put it in here. Right. And so, for example, you could say, let's look up— in fact, let's just do this buffer right here. So Buffer is this website that can help you, you know, post all these social media and schedule all these things out. And let's set something. Let's do— you can do Airtable or you could do— let's do Google Drive. Right? And so you could say, all right, when a new post gets dropped, when a new— when a folder that has an image and text in it gets uploaded to this folder, add it to this according to the instructions on it, right? And then go into Replit and say, okay, I need you to build something that automatically creates a social post every morning at 6 AM., and create it, send it, you know, format it like this and send it to the Google Drive. And it can automatically do that. Repliq can build that connection to automatically connect into your Google Drive and automatically send something over there. And then as soon as that shows up, Buffer grabs it, schedules it, and it's ready to go at 6:45 AM. Done. Okay? Super easy. Okay? Zapier is an amazing thing, but you just have to say, okay, what do I want to have happen? A lot of times, guys, what you need to do, and I'm really good at doing this in my head, but a lot of people people can do this really well if you just write it out on a whiteboard or write it on a piece of paper. Like, hey, I want there to be posts here. I need somehow for it to feed posts. Okay? So I need something here. What is this? Question mark. And then I need this. And by the way, you can then take that, that drawing of your architecture of how, you know, all the data flow and how it's gonna work. You can literally take a picture of that whiteboard or of that piece of paper, hand it to ChatGPT and say, help me build this. Or hand it to Replit and say, help me build this. Where the question marks are, suggest systems that will allow me to do that. Right? So, so anyway, long story short, write it all out, figure it out. Any questions on Zapier? Or how you would actually do it? Jon, I once used, I used something called Ready for Social. I don't know if you've ever heard of that. I haven't. Nope. Okay. I just wanted to be simple because, you know, you signed, that was the company's platform they used and You could choose what type of content. It was in the PEO space. And then every day it would post for you. And, and what I liked about it as a, as a, you know, novice in it is that when I was coming into the company, I really thought my boss was posting that much. I'm like, wow, this guy really posts. And it wasn't him. Yeah. But it gave me that impression that, wow, this guy's, you know, really someone to pay attention to. So there you go. There you go. It's not a new strategy, but it's one that not a lot of people do. Right. It's amazing how few people actually are disciplined enough to set something up and stick with it. Here's what I did last year, guys. My wife just walked in and gave me a shake from Chick-fil-A. So it's peppermint shake time of year, guys, and that means something. Anyway, so last year I wanted to really get myself in the habit of posting every day. And so I publicly posted on January 1st, I said, I'm going to post every single day one thing I'm grateful for. Right. That was just the thing I decided to do. And I thought it would be good for me. And it was really good. It was a really good exercise. Even on my worst days, horrible stuff happening. And I still had to be like, okay, well, this was a tough day, but what was I grateful for? Right? And I, you know, I did it. So but I did 366 days of gratitude because it was a leap year. There was an extra day. In the year, but try something like that. Do the next— I don't know, do the next 30 days, 30 days of gratitude, right? Or starting on Thanksgiving, hey, I'm going to post every day until Christmas, you know, something I'm grateful for or whatever. Okay. And it's amazing. It's amazing how hard it is to remember, like, oh, did I post today? And, you know, to get something and to think of something new. But, but it gets your brain kind of working. So if you're trying to figure out what can I post through that, I recommend posting to LinkedIn twice a day. To really get, you know, you don't want to post 4 times a day. You're going to get lost. It will start to not share the things that you're doing. I like 6:45 and 11:45 AM. Okay. 11:45 AM is just before lunch. A lot of people try to kind of finish their meeting and get out to lunch a few minutes early. They're going to be looking at their LinkedIn while they're sitting there at lunch. It's there. It has time to, you know, obviously like it right there. It gets a little boost. And so it starts to float up to the top. But 6:45 and 11:45. AM are for LinkedIn. Facebook, you can post really as many times as you want per day. X, you should post 20 times per day. I don't, I don't do anywhere close to that. I'm usually like once every 3 days. I'm terrible at X for whatever reason. I just don't remember it because I just haven't ever been a big X account guy, right? Like I have no followers on X. It's because I just don't post a lot, right? That it's just a direct result of I don't use it very much. I have 494 followers. Last time I posted was 8 days ago and I posted about, you know, the whatever, Northern Lights or whatever, right? I just, I just, I don't spend time on X very much. I just never was a Twitter guy, right? And that, my, my profile picture is me or my, my header photo is like a grainy photo of me coming up to the edge of a waterfall that I kayaked off of. Super cool. Terrible picture. I should change that, right? I, you know, I do say AI is cool, whatever I talk about a little bit. I do find though that when I get on X and I do, and sometimes I'll get in and I'll comment on like 10 things and I'll post 3 or 4 things in a day, I'll get like 5 or 6 followers. Like, I know it works, right? I just, I don't, I don't do it. I just don't spend time on here. Okay. But X, you can post it. Actually, X wants you to post tons of times per day. So if you want to be big on X, be big on X. You could also make money on X too, right? If you have, if you have a professional profile and you turn on, um, whatever. But you do have to, you do have to hit, yeah, monetization. You have to hit some certain— I'm not eligible for subscriptions. I'm also not eligible for creator revenue sharing. In order to do that, I have to have at least 5 million impressions on my post within the last 3 months, and I have to have 500 premium followers. That's tough, right? I even subscribe to premium, right? I do that mainly because I get access to Grok for that. But if I really wanted to start making money with this, I gotta post all the time. Now, could I, could I set up some sort of automation that's starting to post for me about AI and other things like that? Yeah, I could probably do that. I could probably do that. I could even set up some automation where it looks for popular posts on Twitter or on X, scrapes the content, posts it again, quotes the person where I learned it from so that it connects it to that person. And I mean, you could build some really awesome stuff. I know actually that AI has created a, um, AI has created at least one, uh, user on X that has made over $1 million because of his posts on X. All right, completely AI done. It's a crypto one, and part of how he made his money is wasn't just posting. He does make a ton of money because of the volume of people that see it, but he also asks for voluntary donations of any kind of crypto. So he has his crypto address there and then people can just send him stuff and people just be like, yeah, here's $10, here's a dollar, here's some little random token that I'm trying to make go big. And you know, some of it's worth nothing, but he's made over a million dollars. Pretty cool. And it's all automated by AI. AI runs the whole thing. Okay. Um, all right, let's go into one more automation platform. I talked about this earlier. I mentioned N8N. Let's just look at it. We're not going to teach it on this. This is is a very advanced platform that's not super easy for most people. Um, Repliq can do a lot. Yeah, go ahead.

How many times do you post on Insta?

Sorry, you mentioned X and Facebook, but not— Oh yeah, um, so Facebook or Instagram and Facebook, I'm basically once a day. You know what's interesting though? Yesterday, just for fun, I had— I was sitting there, I had like 20 minutes, and I was like, I'm gonna do a little post blitz, and I posted 3 things on Instagram right away. Including that sandwich, right? And, and I got one of those. The sandwich, I think, was the one that kind of went, I don't know, viral. Let's see where it is here. But yeah, I usually— it's once per day is usually what I do. You can post on Instagram, though, I would say a couple of times per day. And then believe it or not, you need to post those even if you post it to your feed. Share it to your story as well, because people actually discover you through your story, not as much through the feed, through the actual post itself. The people that are getting tons of followers right now, guys, are posting 6 to 15 stories per day on Instagram. That's, that's hard, right? You kind of have to like live blog your life. It's just kind of tough to do. Some people don't want to do that. You know, I just don't have time to do that. Like, I could, like, every little bit be like, hey guys, you know, everybody say hi, you know. I don't know, I think that's kind of annoying. If I did that every once in a while, that would be okay maybe. But, um, but yeah, from my, my 3 posts that I did yesterday, one of them was, um, no, I did 4 posts yesterday. I did 4 posts yesterday. So I did one that was like an whatever that didn't really work very well. Then I got another one that was about BYU in the playoffs. Right, which, you know, whatever. But that kind of went viral-ish, right? 104 likes, 8 comments. I made 79 cents of earnings on that one. Getting rich there. I'm taking my mom on. And then I did another one of my wife just sitting in our house, but it was kind of nice. 63 cents on that one, right? But again, I just posted there and I made a couple bucks. And you do that every day and all of a sudden you're like, hey, I got a $600 check at the end It's kind of cool. And then of course, that burger I just showed you guys, it's only paid me $0.08 so far. Now it could keep going, it could go viral, someone could share it, whatever. But I posted 4 times yesterday and I got a good amount of like— I've got tons of notifications, lots of comments, lots of stuff. And so Facebook and Instagram, you can post more on Facebook. Instagram, you really want to focus Instagram guys on good visual content. Like when I go to my Instagram, sometimes I'm like, you know what, I probably shouldn't have, because it's so easy to push the button, like cross-post. If you post it on Facebook, it also posts to Instagram. Um, sometimes I look at my Instagram and be like, you know, that doesn't really fit that well, right? Like some of these are good, and then some of them like, oh, it's kind of just out of place, right? But yeah, and some of these just have bad thumbnails. Yeah, see, like that thumbnail is terrible. Like see this thumbnail in the middle right here? That's not that great. You know what, guys? I'm smarter than this. Do, do, do, do, do. Wait for it. It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming. There we go. Wait, maybe, maybe it's coming. Why is it not working? You guys just see a black screen, right? Or you guys are muted. Did you see anything? Could you see my phone? No, no, no, it's just a black screen. I can— I have no idea why it's not showing my phone. It should show my phone. Anyway, guys, um, but there's just— yeah, listen to Gary Vee. He will have you feeling stupid that you're not posting more, right? He's like, you've got this amazing tool that's free, and if you aren't just drowning in business and drowning in all the things that you're trying to do, right, whether it's business or charity, just things you'd like to talk about, whatever, like things that matter to you, share more, talk more. Maybe you care about, you know, I'm sharing about your— the things you believe in, your church, your Maybe you're super excited about the scriptures. You're excited about, you know, your kids doing something, or you're trying to sell more Girl Scout cookies for your child. I don't know, whatever the heck it is, doesn't matter. Just talk about it. Just post, talk about it, let people see what you're doing, and you'll get awesome stuff happening. So anyway, guys, back to the automations. N8N. Okay, this is an automation system that I would probably use ChatGPT to walk me through it right now. There's one, one cool thing is there are a lot of, you know, you've got community. Is it creators? Yeah, here you go. So you can just like go in here and see what these people have, but they, you know, send a message to a channel here, ConvertKit, receive updates on a subscriber added in this, right? Use for free. Some of them are paid, but you can use their templates, right? And you can explore exactly what's happening here, right? You receive updates on this when it does this, it does that. Now this one looks like a very simple one. I clicked on a just random, dumb, boring one. But yeah, generate AI viral videos with Veo 3 and upload to TikTok. You can literally just start uploading these things automatically. Click to explore, use for free. You can literally just download the template and start using it, and it will— he'll walk you through the whole thing, right? Whoops, I did not mean to move that thing. I want to just go up, zoom out. So anyway, you have an idea, right? Daily. So a time, a specific time happens. That's the trigger. Okay. And then it's going to go into your, your Veo 3 account, your Google, which we'll show you guys in a second. Okay. And it's going to generate something. It's going to generate this and then it's going to generate this. It's going to generate this. And then it's going to— sorry, I'm not doing a very good job here. Then it's gonna save the idea. And I actually said this is probably doing it with like ChatGPT or something, right? So it's gonna then save the idea, then it's gonna create the master prompt, then it's gonna take that and put it into VEO-3 and generate the actual video. Sorry, this is not a great interface for me to do this with. Why is it not letting me like center it and move this around? There we go. There we go. So then it's gonna format the prompt well, then it's gonna generate the video. It's gonna wait for the rendering and then it's gonna come through here and it's gonna publish it. So now it has to download the video. It's gonna get the URL of the final video, which will just be in like a Google Drive or something like that. And then it's gonna upload it to something called Bluetato, which is just another one of the systems that can help you push out, like Hootsuite, right? And then it's gonna upload it to TikTok and then it's gonna update the status to done. Cool. So now it's gonna automatically just come up with every day. It's gonna post something. Over to TikTok for you, creating, you know, with a, with a, you know, an AI video. And you can start making money by getting tons of followers, right? Got to come up with some good prompts, right? And so you'd have to really, you know, the place where you can make it unique is, well, what kinds of videos are going to make? What's the purpose of this? What is this channel going to be about, right? That's going to all be right here. And then the rest of it is just like, okay, we're gonna save the idea. We're gonna do this. We'll kick it over here and then post it. And that's just a mechanical, like step by step by step by step by step. And it might be a little bit confusing the first time you do it, guys, but it's not that hard. I've done it a couple times and, and it's, I just kind of played with it. There's another one that's maybe a little bit easier called make.com. And so make.com is exactly the same type of thing. It's, you know, it's just a different way. Let's see if they've got a little screenshot of it. I don't know, this is kind of— this is basically a screenshot of it, but it's basically do this, then this, then when this happens, do this and do this. And then this does this and then this goes here and completes this thing and this completes this here. And then when that happens, it kicks off this process. This is obviously a crazy one, right? But, but you just have to think through like, what do I need? And so, you know, to make, to make it, you know, let's bring it back to earth a little bit here, right? Maybe it's something like, okay, somebody schedules a consultation. Right? Somebody clicks here and they schedule a meeting. Well, I get an email, they get an email, and then maybe it kicks or they get a calendar invite. I get a calendar invite. Maybe it then also adds them into Apollo, right? Maybe I set it up so that it automatically grabs that customer and adds them into Apollo, sets up a new deal so that I don't have to go in and automatically set it up. And I'm terrible at keeping my records in Apollo, right? We just have an automation automatically put that in Apollo, and then it automatically enters them into a sequence that then starts emailing them about this thing. Hey, looking forward to the meeting. This is what we're going to do here. Here's what you can do to prepare, whatever. And anyway, so bottom line is you can, you can just think about, hey, what do I need for my business? If someone clicks on this, how can I automate that? Or look at the things you're currently doing and saying, you know, I do this same process all the time. I wonder if there's a way that I could just automate this thing. The last thing I'm going to show you on automations here, guys, is back over here in this. You can actually come in here. So check this out. Agents and automations, right? You can actually— and it's beta, it's new in Replit, but they're, they're trying to say, hey, you know what, it's kind of hard to— it's kind of hard. This is new design. Oh, that's pretty cool. Look at that. Fastest way to build a visual prototype with no backend. Ideal for designers and product managers. See results in 2 minutes. That is so cool. That's so cool. I gotta play with that. But anyway, you can come in here and say, hey, you know, I, I want to build an automation that uses ChatGPT or uses, yeah, OpenAI to generate a post related to AI news every day at 6 AM. I then want it to automatically upload to my Hootsuite account, an image and post every single time, and then posts to my LinkedIn account at 6:45 AM every morning. Awesome. Boom. Now I don't have to go figure out N8N and all that crap. Now you certainly can, and there's probably a little bit more flexibility you can do there. But honestly, Replit can handle this, can absolutely handle it. It'll ask for an API key, it'll ask for this, it'll connect everything that it needs to do. Now I can sit here and drink my shake while it works for me. So it's going to use OpenAI integration, which will be used for generating the AI news posts and images. Approve. Great. Now create a plan, and it's going to do it, and I'm done. So guys, look, there's literally— there's nothing in the way of you doing anything, bringing anything you want to life. You just have to know what you want and then go to AI, know how to ask it, and then understand. I think What I really try to do with this day, with this second day of AI training, is I just try to click on a ton of different things so that you guys, your mind just kind of gets opened to be like, that's what's possible. Oh, I didn't know you could do that. Right? And then guys, you know, we're done with this course in 30 minutes and you're obviously going to want to keep learning and I don't want you to have to keep paying me every time to come back. Right? My, a lot of, you know, course people are like, yeah, I'm going to upgrade to my inner circle and pay $10,000. I'm not going to, I'm not going to ask you guys to do that. Okay. I have no upsell for you, although I actually might have another course to offer you pretty soon here. I'm actually partnering with somebody who might, it might be interesting to you. I haven't, I haven't finalized the details on it yet, but pretty cool, pretty cool stuff around, around AI and the guy that, that, that I know. So anyway, so yeah, anyway, I'm not really trying to upsell you on this. What I want you to do is learn how to do it. If you want to follow a few, good, good people, right? They're like, hey, who do you follow? Right? That's how I learn, right? Go to GenAIPI on Instagram. GenAIPI Institute. Okay. It's not— I don't— don't follow me because my posts suck and I've only done like 8 posts. I never use it. Okay. But go to the people I'm following. Look at the people I follow. Right. AI Conference and um, SenApp, Microsoft for Startups, actually is pretty good, it's got some good stuff, Luna.ai, ChatGPT Tricks, Evolving.ai, OpenAI, ChatGPT, Sora Official, Metaverse is Amazing, Metaverse is So Good, uh, Metaverse with the 3 in there, whatever, right? AI Report, Neuralink, Google Trends, Meta.ai. But just go in there, go in there to Gen App Institute and then just follow the people that this account follows and then your feed will look like my feed and you'll see stuff. And, and what that does, guys, is it, it just is like, oh hey, that's cool, I didn't know that was possible. Hey, it looks like this, you know, thing got a new update. ChatGPT just got a new update, or Midjourney just got a new update, or ElevenLabs just got a new update, right? ElevenLabs, I think, is one of the ones I follow on here. At least it should be. Um, actually, no, I'm not following ElevenLabs. Um, but anyway, um, I'm not going to log in and change that right now, but I do— I know I follow them on my I swear I follow them on my normal one. 11labs.io. I don't follow them here, but I should be. But yeah, just having this there, then you just, okay, I know what's going on. I know it's possible. And then you can go figure out how to do it because you know how to use AI to figure out how to do anything, or you know how to go to Replit to ask it to do it for you, right? And so just keep following Neuralink. I definitely want to follow. I don't follow them. And I love Midjourney too. We're going to go into Midjourney right now. In fact, that's one of the next things we're going to do. You guys ever heard of HeyGen? HeyGen's pretty cool. So HeyGen allows you to create a clone. All of these people are fake, right? You can create a clone of yourself. All right, here is— let's see if we can turn on some audio here. I want this to actually— come on, I want some audio. Use cases. Let's go to use cases. Um, it's not doing any audio anywhere here, but this same person can be saying everything they are in a different voice. It will change the way your lips move. It's crazy, and it is so realistic. Like you— that there are many, many YouTube channels and things that you probably follow that are literally not real people at this point. It's AI video, and they have it all automated to just like, hey, here's my input, and then I just change the output and put it out there. But it can look like you're posting every single day. And just like Jon was saying, the CEO is like, hey, this guy's awesome, right? It could literally now just be an AI doing it. And it's really, really incredible at how good it is. Okay, $29 a month for that one, 1080p. If you want to get a little, a little, uh, you know, bigger, whatever, go to 4K, you can do that too. Can also have API pricing, right? So maybe you just want to build something, um, you know, with Replit that automatically uses APIs and all these different things. And, you know, the watermark is removed if you're paying $900 a month in order to use that thing. But then you get 1 minute, uh, you get 100 credits, you get 100 minutes of generated avatar video per month Right? Or interactive avatar streaming. So cool. So cool. Yeah. Anyway, so HeyGen's awesome. Okay. All right, guys, for the last few minutes here, we're gonna zip through some image things. I'm sure most of you have created an image with AI before, and that's cool. Let's, let's, for now, let's create a, let's focus on creating something for the, the business, the new, the Gear app. App, right? So let's go to my project here, Gear Manager, and let's say, um, I need a good hero image for landing page for the gear app. Um, give me a good prompt for what this could be. Okay, so I'm asking for a prompt very specifically. Okay, here's some Elite Midjourney. It knows that I like Midjourney for sure. Ultimate gear wall, clean, premium, Apple-like. So it's giving me 3 different versions here. So this is cool. I want you to generate the first one. Okay, so this is what I'm always doing here. I'm going to go copy and I'm going to jump into Midjourney. I'm always going to— and I'm generating images. Oh, hey, I get a unique username. I'm definitely going to take Jason Bourne. Can I do it without this? Nope, already taken. That's okay, I'll just do this. I'm Jason Bourne on Discord, and this started in Discord. I don't want to do that right now. We're just going to do that update. Okay, good. All right, so now I'm going to create— I'm going to come in here, I'm just going to drop this. I'm also going to come in here and I'm going to grab— whoops, I go to here. I'm going to grab the second one and I'm going to have it do that too. And then I'm going to do the third one. I'm just trying to find something good that's going to help me organize my life. This is pretty cool. Pretty cool stuff. I already like some of these images. Look at that, 100% complete. That's so fast, guys. So crazy. Now this is good except for this bike is missing part of its tire. So can't use that. This one's a little better. It's a lot better. It's pretty dang clean. I actually really like that one. It's pretty, it's pretty cool. I could, I could probably use that one. This one's weird because it's got some weird stuff happening there. This one's not as good. So I like that one the best so far. Animate this. There's another one that's kind of cool. So this is a different style image, right? Just something that's helping me. Oh, I like this one a lot. I love this one. Right? Except for the fact that this guy seems to be riding his bike through the ocean or something, but I don't know. It's just like a bunch of noise with different sports. You got biking and skiing and kayaking and biking. Yeah, it's, that's cool. This is kind of another idea with that one. Okay. And let's look at the last one up here. What is this? What is this thing? A floating 3D sphere. Is this one of the ones that asked me? I didn't even read what it is. Yeah, there it is. Connected, interconnected outdoor gear. Kayak paddle, ropes, helmet. Oh, that's interesting. Except it didn't do that. So that's fine. Whatever. All right, cool. But now I immediately get a few different options. ChatGPT is very slow, by the way, in comparison in terms of when it's creating images. That's a pretty good one though. Kayak. Although one thing that ChatGPT just is not great at is, why can I not zoom in on this? I should be able to zoom in. This is a browser. I don't know why it's not letting me do that. But anyway, there we go. It did not do a good job at typing here. A kayak pedale. That's not a thing. Climbing rope, skis, whatever. Anyway, so I think it's okay. Midjourney is clearly— this did a little bit better. Mountain Ikey. I don't know why it can't get it right. Why can't AI spell? I just, I don't understand that one. That one doesn't make sense to me.

It also didn't know that this is— I was going to ask that too, because I've used it, I've used it before when trying to create images in ChatGPT, and it's always, it always gets the words wrong. And then I tell it exactly where to place things, and then it will start putting those little tap marks for the letters, you know, and like remove those. Oh, sorry, you're right, I noticed that. And then they go and they do it again and it screws up the whole thing again. And it feels like I keep going backwards and backwards and backwards.

I'm like, this was a waste of time. I agree with you, and that is why I use Canvas— or Canva, I mean, not Canvas, Canva, right? I'll create an image and I'll add the text with Canva.

And yeah, it's just weird that AI— it's just weird that it, it You're telling it and you're showing exactly what to do and saying, I need these steps like this. Stop cutting them off. Stop putting that little tick marker in there for a letter. Stop putting in French or whatever language you start putting it in.

It drives me nuts. Right? I agree. I agree. It's absolutely ridiculous. I don't know why it does it. It just doesn't make sense. Okay, so guys, obviously we've done some pretty cool images pretty quick here. I could download this one right here that I liked a lot. I can just click on this and I could just say, download. And then I can come over to wherever the heck this is, FlowState. Oh, yeah, we're building, we're building this. You know what, I'm going to have it build it later. We're actually going to start building and then I'm actually going to close out of it. I'm going to go back to GearGuard AI right now, please. Please. Um, uh, Ripple. Yeah, maybe it just needs to work for a second. It's installing packages. That's okay. Anyway, but what I was going to show is you can just grab that image, drag it into here, and say, hey, make this the hero image for the landing page. We'll let this automation keep, keep building right now. We won't try to go away from here. Um, one of the things you can do inside of, um, Midjourney is animate. And so we'll see what's happening here. And you can obviously edit this and rerun and do different things. But it's going to, I don't know, it's gonna bring it to life. Let's see what it does. Sometimes these are good, sometimes they're not. Oh, this is just like a simple, like, zoom in. I think it's kind of cool. I don't know what's happening over here, but I have an idea. I have an idea. I want to take this image. Okay. There's an IKEA commercial that was made with VEO 3, and it used some amazing prompts to have the entire room be organized in an animated way. Please look those prompts up and then give me a similar prompt so that I can have this image be the final state of a video. All right, so it's going to do a little bit of research for me really quick, or it might find it very fast. Perfect, perfect. I'm going to copy this, and now we're going to go to Veo 3. Um, I need, I need Flow. Where's Flow? Here it is. Create with Flow. We're experiencing extremely high demand. All right, it's fine, I guess. Degraded service. Credits will be refunded for any failed requests. All right, well, we'll try to We'll try to do something. New project. Um, here's the text, and then let's see, scene description, negative space at top, key elements, and then I'm going to give it a, um, let's see if I can do ingredients to video. Add, upload, downloads. This thing. Yeah, I kind of want— that's okay. Yeah, so obviously I could have it reshape it and resize it and fill in more gaps so that I didn't— I don't have some of that empty space, but we'll just, we'll just use this. Okay. And all right. Best on cost. That's fine. Go. All right. Let's see what happens here. So this is using AI now to create a video. While this is going, We're going to try runway, and we're going to drop— I want to use— oh wow, you can use Bayou in here. That's kind of interesting. We'll just drop this image in here. We'll paste the same thing. Let's see here. 1 to 5. 1. Okay, I only get— I'm gonna get 1,000 characters. That's okay, we can, we can deal with that. Deal with that. Um, I need the prompt to be less than 1,000 characters. Okay, so a lot less flexibility in here. We're going to get rid of this. And let's give it 10 seconds. Now we'll do 5 seconds. We'll do 5 seconds. And let's try it, see what happens. Okay, so, um, this is again just what I do. This is kind of a creative process, guys. You just have to experiment, see what happens. Okay, let's see what we got here. All right, good until it started like adding crazy stuff on top of it. I can literally just stop it right there at that, at that moment. See what this one does. Stop. Yeah, I don't know why it's bringing all that. Maybe I didn't, maybe, maybe I literally told it to do that. Text, timestamp, action, camera, hold the mouse, say organize, matching the provided hero image. Headline, audio, ambience. Yeah. Oh, holographic UI labels. I did ask for holographic UI labels. Anyway, yeah. It did exactly what I asked, but pretty cool, right? I mean, to create that— I think the first one's better. I think this one's better. You really just stop it there if you wanted to, but you could have that be just like something that's just looping or it's just part of a video that's introducing scene, what you're doing here, or maybe it's the end of your video and you can just do that and you can say, all right, I like, I like this. Let's add this to the scene. And we're going to then, you know, I don't, I don't want to have the hologram. So we're just going to go right here and then we're going to go add extend and we're going to say, um, the scene or all of the gear packs up into your phone. A 25-year-old guy. Yeah, yeah, here we go. We're gonna put this in the beginning. 25-year-old guy walks onto the scene, onto the scene, and pulls out his phone. All of the gear packs up into his phone. He jumps onto his bike and takes off. All the gear except for the bike jumps on his bike and takes off. Okay, perfect. Now I'm extending it and I can just build this. This is also incredibly fun, guys, to do with your kids, right? If you want to talk about doing fun things with your kids and whatever. That was awesome. It just folds away. Anyway, it did it backwards because it used this as the starting image. There is a way in here to set your last image so that you say, hey, I need it to end here. Anyway, we won't go into all this different stuff. Man, it looks like they have really changed a lot of this stuff. So many cool things you can do in here. So anyway, guys, this video and edit and audio— sorry, video and photo stuff is really just a game of use ChatGPT to figure out what you need and how it's supposed to be formatted and then jump in and play with it and just iterate from there. And you're going to find something you like or you're going to find something you don't like. It's amazing the types of things actually that this can do. Like if you look here, product shot, like a hand holding the soda against a red background. All it was given was this, and then it just adds that stuff, makes it awesome. Stylize, that's cool. I think this is crazy. Here's an actual video walking down a street, and they just say remove the people. Unbelievable to be able to do that, right? You no longer have to empty Times Square to get your shot. You can literally Anyway, that's, that's so cool. So, so cool. You can upscale things, you can add dialogue. Yeah, this is crazy. The dialogue's crazy. Yeah, this probably looks sick with the clouds in the background and stuff. Just take an image and you just tell it to do that and it can talk and it can create stuff. So amazing, guys. So this last little section here, guys, was just kind of, again, trying to help you guys see some of the things that are possible, help you be able to be enabled on your own without me sitting there guiding you every step along the way. I hope that the last 2 days have been, you know, eye-opening and, and you feel more empowered to go out and build your own stuff and bring things to life. But when you're creating a business, you kind of have to do everything right. When you're an entrepreneur, you have to do everything. You have to be the, the image guy and you have to be the developer guy. And, you know, I couldn't do that before. I wasn't capable of doing, being the developer guy, because I wasn't as smart as Nate. Right? And now AI can fill in the gaps. And I have the ability to say, hey, you know what? I'm also not great with images, but now I've got an AI to help me. And now I, I also, you know, I can do video, but I don't really have the money to go do this kind of shot. And now I can. I can do everything. AI has completely leveled this playing field. And so you can now do every single step from planning to building to prototyping the MVP to selling to figuring out how to get it in front of a bunch of people. How do you get 100 users in the next 4 hours, 8 hours? How do I get my first sale by, by, you know, Wednesday of next week? Whatever it is, just set your sight on something, go make it happen and, and follow through with it. You just have to follow through. That's all it is. You just have to actually do what the AI is telling you to do. But when you see what's possible, when you, when you follow what's possible and it changes so fast, like, again, I just brought up like 10 or 15 platforms. If you just went and followed ChatGPT, you know, OpenAI, whatever, Sora, we didn't even touch, but Veo, Google Gemini, ElevenLabs, Gamma, Replit, Lovable, N8N, you know, go follow all these platforms. Every day it will be like, we just came out with this, we just came out with this, we just came out with this, right? Everyone's releasing something every like 3 weeks, I swear. And so if you're following 20 or 30 different apps every day, You're like, whoa, I didn't know that was possible. Now that's possible. Now that's possible. And it's going to continue to change the world at a faster and faster rate. More apps are going to come out. More cool things are going to come out. And it's impossible to stay on top of all the apps. There's thousands and thousands of AI apps. I've showed you guys a few that I like that I think have floated to the top as good, you know, industry leaders in their different, you know, their respective spaces. But ultimately, you need to just kind of find what works for you. And go do it, right? Like maybe Nate's like, you know what, I love QuadCode. I'm going to use QuadCode instead of Replit. Cool. That's awesome. If he, if that workflow works for Nate, amazing. Or maybe, you know, he's like, hey, you know what, Replit's kind of cool. I'm going to use it for this. I'm going to use this for that. Just find what works for you. You know, I'm a composer, right? And I have all my gear and I've got different pianos and stuff. And this computer is actually a crazy powerful workstation. And I use Cubase. As my audio, um, DAW, my digital audio workstation, right? Um, but there's also Pro Tools, and there's also, um, well, what's that other one? It just kind of came and went. Um, I can't remember it. Anyway, there's tons of different platforms out there. There's Adobe Audition. There's all kinds of different ways you can mix music and write music and do things. And is Pro Tools better than Cubase? No, not really. You can You know, there's music on the radio that's produced in Cubase, and music on the radio is produced in Pro Tools. Um, that's, you know, every bit as good as, as the next song. It's just what do you know, what do you like, what are you comfortable with? And so find those things, get used to them, and, and then just be curious and go use them, right? And try not to go bankrupt with all of your AI subscriptions. So, um, all right guys, I'm finishing up here. Um, I will send an email probably later tonight. Takes a couple hours to upload, 4 hours from yesterday, 4 hours from today, and I didn't get to do it yesterday. I was busy. I had to zip off to, to do some stuff last night, so I just didn't have time to do it. So I'll get those uploaded. They'll just be uploaded to YouTube as an unlisted link, and you'll be able to come back and watch these, you know, if you're like, hey, what was that thing on day 2 or day 1, or I want to go back and kind of go go through that whole process of how we set up a business again. You can just go back and watch it. You guys will have access to those recordings. You'll also get access to the Google Drive folder that I showed you that has a bunch of guides and different things in there. If there's something that isn't in there and you're like, hey Jon, how did you do this? Or what's your favorite platform for this? Or, you know, you know where to find me, right? Ask it in that, that Facebook group. That Facebook group is very, very helpful, by the way. Um, there's a lot of really good people on there that, um, you know, they're They'll, they'll, if you ask something like, I'm trying to figure this out. And, you know, I don't really know, I don't know where to do it or where to find it. And you'll get 10 answers really fast. Okay. I see a few member requests here. We got Jabulo and Andrew and Dave and John. So those of you that have Facebook, if you want to add that, I will have the link for that group in here as well. Just in case you want it, right? And you didn't, you didn't get it. Um, I'll also ask for a review, right? If you guys want to review the course, you know, just tell me and I'll, I'll probably put it up on the website as another review and would love to do that. If you give me a 1 star, I might not put it up there. Um, no, but, but really would just love any feedback you guys have. Um, also if you refer anybody to this course, um, you get $100, right? So, you know, just, um, tell me like, hey, this guy signed up and, you know, I'll Venmo you $100. Jabul, I'll probably— I don't think you can do Venmo, but I could PayPal it to you or something. But, uh, but anyway, um, would love to have other people. If you have businesses that might want to work with me, great. If you want to work with me as a business, right, um, it starts at $10,000 a month. That's, that's just what it is. Um, and I'm happy to, happy to explore that. Um, no pressure whatsoever, but, um, just, just letting you know it's there. Um, there— I, I've had a few people ask for like How to Build a Business, you know, 2, right? Like, what can we keep going where we left off and go deeper in certain things? Maybe like actually build some of these automations and N8N and just kind of do another 8-hour course. Um, I've had some people ask for that. I haven't launched that yet. I don't really have time to think through what that would look like yet. Um, but it might be out there in the future. Um, I will probably send out an email, I think, in the next couple weeks for this course I was talking about. It's a guy that's put together basically like a command center. You guys are the first people I'm telling about this, but he's put together basically a command center with AI that helps him run his whole life. So, it's not specifically about building a business. He is an entrepreneur and he has multiple things going on, but like it takes care of his taxes and it takes care of his 3 or 4 businesses that are all kind of pretty involved things and helps him stay on track with his physical fitness and all these different things.. And he's basically taught and he's got all these documentations and things that teaches the AI how to do it. And you really run the whole thing through ChatGPT. He runs his whole life through ChatGPT, but it's really, really efficient. And I think it would be about a 3-hour course and maybe just a few hundred bucks, maybe $300 or something. So we'll probably, I'll probably send an email out for that soon just telling you guys about that. But, but anyway, long story short, guys, thanks so much. If you have any questions, reach out to me. You'll have my cell phone number. I put it in the email and you guys got it yesterday. A few of you texted me, but yeah, it's been awesome, guys. Thanks so much. Thanks, Jon. Awesome stuff, Jon.

Thank you so much. Happy Thanksgiving.

Merry Christmas. See you. Likewise. Enjoy the day, guys. Jon, just before you go, I'm part of AI in Business at BYU, the club there, and I saw that you're coming to tomorrow for, uh, let's go! $1,000 prize. I know, as I figured, hey, maybe I can earn some of the, the class. I can, I don't know, a little head start on the, on the competition there. That's right. Yeah, I know, you're, you're ready to rock. Um, yeah, I'll be speaking at the thing at BYU tomorrow. That'll be fun. And then kicking it off, the 24-hour competition. So should be fun. Pull an all-nighter. Good to meet you in person. So yeah, thanks. We'll see you guys. Bye.
