0:00Every company needs to put AI at the
0:02forefront of all their operations
0:03[music] or they're going to lose to a
0:04company that does.
0:05>> That's Remy. He's a young non-technical
0:07[music] founder who's a master at
0:09explaining AI in a way you can actually
0:12understand [music] and implement.
0:13>> In order to make the most out of these
0:14agents and make them actually useful,
0:16you need to treat setting [music] them
0:18up like onboarding a real employee. And
0:20you do this through context, tools, and
0:22skills. He shares his screen and shows
0:23us exactly how [music] he builds AI
0:25systems, timeless principles you can
0:27steal, and the easiest way to get
0:29started today.
0:30>> If you're starting from zero, this is
0:31all you need. Just this episode, [music]
0:33and I think you're set.
0:44Guys, in this episode, Remy is going to
0:46demystify everything that's going on
0:48with AI, the terms, the tools, the
0:50models, everything. an a toz guide to
0:53know what's going on today in AI. He has
0:55spent the last two years living in this
0:57stuff and he is about to embed in your
0:59brain all things AI that he has learned
1:01in the next couple hours. He's not some
1:03technical engineer either. For the last
1:04couple years, he's been running an ad
1:06agency. This is all self-taught. And now
1:08he's running the AI agent team for one
1:10of the fastest growing ecom brands in
1:11the world today. And I know this AI
1:13stuff is very overwhelming. So, I want
1:15you all to take a deep breath and by the
1:18end of this episode, you're going to
1:19know exactly what the next steps are.
The shift from chat to agents
1:21Let's get into it. So,
1:22>> I guess let's just start with, you know,
1:24what are the kind of the two stages of
1:27using AI.
1:29>> So, stage one was chat, right? You'd be
1:33pretty hardressed to find anyone,
1:34especially founders and business owners
1:36that aren't using chat models. So, think
1:38like chat GBT or Claude Chat or Gemini.
1:42But stage two is now agents. So we've
1:45moved from chat to agents and the
1:48founders and employees that are now
1:50using agents are like no word of a lie
1:52like five to 10 times more productive in
1:53their day.
1:54>> Probably more probably more than 5 to 10
1:56to be honest with you.
1:56>> Probably. I mean even if you take like
1:58the the middle mark which is like seven
2:00times more productive. Think about that.
2:02That's a week in a working day and like
2:045 to seven weeks in a week. And then if
2:07you stack that up over like a month a
2:08year like it's toast. So, you're
2:11starting to just get this massive divide
2:12opening at the moment with the people
2:15who are using agents and the people who
2:16are stuck using chat and you want to be
2:19on the agent side.
2:21>> Yeah. I mean, it's unfortunate for some
2:23of the people listening out here that
2:24may or may not be employees, but like a
2:26big thing we talk about is just opex,
2:28your actual labor as a percentage of
2:29revenue. I think everybody is racing to
2:32just get this down the percentage of
2:34revenue. And I feel like people are
2:36doing it with just chat and they don't
2:39understand the true multiplier is
2:41actually with the agents and
2:43>> even like you're saying about it's tough
2:44for employees. I actually think that
2:47there's a great opportunity for
2:48employees right now which we'll touch on
2:49later. But I think there's a there's an
2:50amazing opportunity for employees that
2:52take the initiative to learn this stuff.
2:54You end up becoming like a 100x
2:56employee. And it's like you can now like
2:59one like go to market strategist can now
3:01take on like the work of a 10 person
3:02team and get paid for probably about
3:04five five person team now.
3:06>> Yeah. We're gonna dive deep into what I
3:08think and what you think the future of a
3:10team looks like. What are the necessary
3:12skills? What does that brain need to
3:13look like? And like I mean dude, we're
3:15seeing like I think there there was a
3:16company that was a billion dollars that
3:18was one person. Like I truly believe
3:20there's going to be one to three person
3:21teams doing billions and billions.
3:23>> Agreed. because there's so much of your
3:25time and day that's like taken up with
3:26just like stupid manual tasks. Like I
3:30give you an example yesterday someone
3:31from my team was asking for like some
3:32passwords and API keys and it's like
3:34before I would have had to go into one
3:36password like find them create a share
3:38link share it securely and like send the
3:40Slack message. So instead I just got my
3:43agent to just like go into one password
3:45like create the share links send them on
3:46Slack and it's like that would have been
3:49maybe like a 10 minute task
3:51realistically but it's like just 30
3:54seconds and it's like it just allows you
3:56as a founder to spend your time on the
3:57work that's fulfilling for you and
3:59creative and strategic the work that AI
4:01like can't do like the visionary stuff.
4:03>> Yeah, for sure. Let's dive into, you
What "agent" actually means
4:05know, what does that agent look like?
4:07Let's really really deep dive into it.
4:08For anybody out here that's listening, I
4:10highly recommend that you either watch
4:11this on YouTube or Spotify so you
4:13actually can see the visuals, but let's
4:15break down, you know, agent a bit more
4:18and like what that kind of loop looks
4:19like.
4:20>> 100%. So the word agent gets thrown
4:22around so much. It's kind of like lost a
4:24lot of meaning now. You you see like if
4:26you open Instagram or X, it's just I
4:28build an agent that does this, agents
4:30this, agents that. But the easiest way
4:32to like actually think about like what
4:33an agent is is I like to think chat is
4:37just question to answer and an agent is
4:39just goal to result. So question to
4:42answer goal to result is just the simple
4:44way to think about it in your head. So
4:46for example with a chat you might ask it
4:49a question it'll reply and then you have
4:51to go and do the work. Whereas agents
4:53you're giving it a goal it's breaking
4:55that down to a plan and executing and
4:57then handing you like a finished
4:58product. And the word agent actually
5:01just comes from the word agency which
5:03means like ability to act and do things.
5:05And people think like agent as in like
5:08real estate agent or like travel agent
5:11as like a person like a guy that's like
5:12a sci-fi type guy that's like living his
5:15own life and then doing work for you.
5:17But in reality it's just like comes from
5:18that word agency which was like aentic
5:21AI which meant like AI that can do
5:23things for you and then people just like
5:25now call them agents. The way I think of
5:27it is like chat models is like a really
5:29brilliant consultant. Like you can go
5:31ask it advice and it will like give you
5:33give you the the answer but you have to
5:35actually go and take that answer and do
5:36the work. Whereas an agent's like hiring
5:39that brilliant person in house that will
5:41then go and do it for you too.
5:42>> Yeah. End to end like you what do you
5:45want? What does that result look like?
5:47They figure out kind of the workback
5:48schedule and then literally like when
5:50you press press go and we're going to
5:52talk about underneath the hood like what
5:53it looks like to obviously the piping to
5:54make that work. You just see it just
5:56typing and working and it just gets the
5:58end result.
5:58>> Yeah. Because I would argue that chat
6:00models question to answer like can't
6:03actually even take any meaningful work
6:04off your plate. Like maybe a research
6:06task, but realistically like chat models
6:08can't actually take work off your plate.
6:10>> Yeah. Let's talk about like a couple of
6:12those things. Let's like kind of
6:13categorize like stuff that maybe does
6:14make sense in chat. Like for me it'll be
6:17just like, you know, I'm staying at this
6:19hotel. I'm going to studio and then I'm
6:21going to
6:23book this hotel or this hotel and I'll
6:25screenshot a bunch of them and it'll
6:26just kind of optimize from a distance
6:29perspective how I get to places or like
6:31should I order this piece of food, this
6:32piece of food like little simple things.
6:34>> Yeah. Like yesterday I was on the subway
6:36and I took a screenshot on Google Maps
6:38and sent it to like Claude in just the
6:40chat and I was like yo can I pay Apple
6:43Pay on the subway cuz I'm from Australia
6:44and it was just like yep you can. I'm
6:46like sweet. Like just little questions
6:47to answers,
6:48>> little simple things, you still should
6:50use chat.
6:50>> Yeah. Yeah. Agreed. Cuz like sometimes
6:51using an agent to ask like how many
6:53calories in a banana is like killing a
6:55fly with a bazooka. It's like overkill.
6:57Like you don't need an agent for that.
6:58So chat is still like very useful for
6:59me. Like I just got called on my phone
7:01and like asking questions like that
7:02throughout the day. But any meaningful
7:04work
7:04>> straight to the agents.
7:05>> Yeah. So, I mean, like a good way to
7:08illustrate kind of this old way of
7:10working with chats versus this new way
7:12of working with agents is like a
7:14marketing example because obviously like
7:15I used to run an ad agency. It's kind of
7:17used to be my bread and butter. And if I
7:20was going to create a marketing
7:21campaign, right, let's just say you're
7:22like doing a Christmas in July campaign
7:24for ecom brand. The old way was you'd
7:27probably have the brief in notion or
7:29whatever project management tool you're
7:30using. You would copy that Christmas in
7:32July brief, paste it into chat GBT. Yo,
7:35we're doing this campaign. Like, create
7:37me some ads. Write me the email copy.
7:39You would then like take that copy and
7:41like paste it into Clavio or then like
7:42give it to your email designer. Get the
7:44ads and then like go into some other
7:45tool and make them. And you'd copy the
7:48content from chat into your content
7:50calendar, paste it, and then you would
7:52have to go into like ads manager and
7:54like manually input it all as well. Like
7:55once
7:56>> switching cost and a ton of like small
7:57optimizations. It's it's going to two,
7:59three, four, five different people.
8:01>> And it's back to the thing about like
8:02more fulfilling work as well. It's like
8:04when I used to have to upload if you
8:05were uploading like a 100 ads to ad
8:07manager like the UI in meta ads manager
8:09is so awful. It would take you like an
8:12hour of like just data entry like
8:13putting them into ad manager and
8:15switching off all like the creative
8:16enhancements and all the all the
8:17[ __ ] So the new way of working
8:20would literally be you just tell Claude
8:21or whatever agent you're using
8:24kick off the Christmas in July campaign
8:26and it would go into notion. It would
8:27find like the the campaign outline about
8:29like the plan and like what specific
8:31discount you're going to give and the
8:32offer and stuff and it could go into
8:34Shopify like pull in actual product
8:36images. It have like your brand
8:38guidelines so the email would be like
8:39nice and branded and then you would like
8:43write the ads. You can even use a tool
8:44like Higsfield or an image gen to create
8:46the static ads and then it might just
8:48give you back like five emails and 100
8:49ads and you pick like your favorite
8:51email and like top 10 ads and then you
8:54approve and then it'll just literally go
8:55into Clavio, set it up and then go into
8:58ads manager, set it up and like it's
9:00done.
9:00>> Yeah.
9:01>> And and it could take it there and just
9:02leave it as a draft and obviously you
9:04can by hand optimize it before you click
9:06go. And for everybody out there
9:08listening and watching just to give you
9:09context like we're talking very macro
9:11right now. We are in this episode going
9:13to actually show you live how to do
9:15stuff like this because there's a lot of
9:16there's a lot of stuff like in between
9:18there to make sure that the piping is
9:19set up properly to get that end result.
9:21But yeah, man, I just feel like all of
9:23like the little small work is going to
9:24be absolutely done if and when you set
9:28up the proper piping. It's really just
9:29comes down to the proper piping and
9:31systems that you have underneath all of
9:33this.
9:33>> Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. So, you've
9:35given the agent a goal. It's it's done
9:37this amazing work for you and given you
9:39the output, but like what has it done?
9:40like what happens in that mysterious
9:42agent step where it's going and doing
9:44the work. I think that it's really
9:45really important to understand like
9:47what's going on under the hood here. And
9:48I'm just going to do a high level cuz
9:49I'm I'm not a technical person myself
9:51and I'm not going to lose anyone with
9:53like going into like the actual software
9:55engineering part of it. But I just want
9:57to touch on this loop that agents go
10:00through. So when you hand an agent a
10:02task, it's literally just going through
10:05three steps. observe, think, act over
10:08and over and over again in a loop until
10:10it has completed the task and then it
10:12hands you the final result. So when I
10:15say observe, think act, you can think of
10:17it as look at the situation, decide the
10:20next step, do it, look at the situation,
10:23decide the next step, do it over and
10:24over and over again.
10:25>> Optimizing, optimizing, optimizing.
10:27>> And then finally, it will output the
10:30result when it determines that the task
10:32is done. And then how it determines when
10:34it should stop going in loops is based
10:37on what you've told it in the goal. So
10:39if you for example said like to an agent
10:42as a simple example, research the top 10
10:45business podcast I should go on and put
10:48it in a 10page PowerPoint deck.
10:51The agent will not stop going in loops
10:53until it has 10 business podcasts in a
10:56PowerPoint to give to you. So if you're
10:58really vague with like what you want the
11:00final output to be then um be a little
11:02bit more subjective based on the agent.
11:04It's not going to be exactly what you
11:05want.
11:05>> Yeah. Exactly. So, it's important.
11:06That's one thing we'll touch on is
The observe-think-act loop
11:08clearly defining like what done looks
11:10like.
11:10>> Yeah.
11:10>> But, you know, when you're giving it a
11:11goal, it's just going in these the these
11:13three steps. Look at situation, decide
11:14the next step, do it.
11:16>> And I thought what would be cool just to
11:18like sort of illustrate this loop is to
11:19just give a simple example into Claude
11:21and I can show you this loop going in
11:23real time. Before we we show that to
11:25everybody out there, I think a key thing
11:26to touch on just because guys, I want to
11:28make sure that you're following along as
11:30we go in that observe loop that we're
11:32popping up right now. You see the
11:34context and skills. We are going to get
11:36very very deep into how to set up the
11:38context and the value of the skills.
11:41>> Yeah. Let me give this little example to
11:42Claude so I can show you this loop in
11:44action. Okay, so I'm in Claude Code
11:46right now and we're going to just paste
11:48this in.
11:48>> Welcome back, Rem Dog.
11:50Before you dive into this right now,
11:52guys, this is going to be awesome. you
11:53guys are going to see the whole entire
11:54loop just so people have like context. I
11:56don't even know if you even maybe want
11:57to zoom out from a macro perspective or
11:59we can do it after the fact of just like
12:02driving around Claude and just telling
12:04them like this is code, this is code,
12:06this is chat. Let's just make sure that
12:07we do that before the end of the
12:08episode.
12:09>> Yeah. Yeah, of course. And like I'm I
12:10want this episode to be core principles
12:13timeless. So I'm not going to go too
12:15deep into like right now the best model
12:17to use in cords opus 4.8 or Fable 5, but
12:20in 2 months time that's going to be
12:21different. But these core principles
12:23that I'm going to cover today about like
12:24how to make an agent actually useful and
12:26work for you and like how to build
12:28agents essentially that's not going to
12:30change for months. So for this example
12:33what I've told is I've said please give
12:35me a report of my best performing
12:36Instagram videos and a full breakdown of
12:38the angle the hook topic title hooks and
12:42why the video worked. I've given it my
12:43Instagram handle and I've said create a
12:45HTML report. So that's just going to
12:47keep going until it's done an analysis
12:49of my best performing videos. I could
12:51have even give it a number like 10 best
12:53performing and then it's going to
12:54deliver the HTML report and that's when
12:56it will stop the loop and give it back
12:58to me. So
13:01the first act step that it decided to do
13:03was go and search my computer to see if
13:05it can find more information about like
13:07title hooks and hooks and some of the
13:08things I've talked about. And it's then
13:11found the title hooks are exactly what I
13:12need. So now it's gone back to the
13:14observe step. Now it's evaluating the
13:17situation after the first loop. So
13:21second loop round. Now it's going to go
13:23and read. It's found some files. Now
13:25it's evaluating the situation. Great.
13:27I've found more files. What should I do
13:29next? Let's look at these files. So you
13:31can see it's read these two files. Back
13:33to the observe step. Great. This is a
13:35gold mine. There's a complete data set
13:36of 60 reels matched with play counts.
13:40And then it has I mean I think maybe I
13:43have my video my real performance
13:44already downloaded on my computer from
13:46another project that it's found. If it
13:48didn't find all these 60 reels with
13:50data, it would have instead of that, it
13:53would have gone on the loop and then
13:54probably called the tool to go search
13:55Instagram essentially. So, second loop
13:59round, it's it's read the files. Now,
14:01it's like, excellent, this is a gold
14:02mine. It's read some more files. Another
14:05loop. Now, it's gone. I have a complete
14:08real data set. All 60 reels matched with
14:10play counts, engagement rates, dates,
14:12patent tags, all that stuff.
14:14And then it said the one field that
14:16genuinely isn't in this data is the
14:17spoken hook first 3 to 5 seconds.
14:19>> That's the bottleneck.
14:20>> Yeah. So now it's gone. It's thinking
14:23it's like well we need to go find that.
14:24So now it's going to run a command and
14:26it is going to go launch a sub agent
14:29which we'll touch on later which isn't
14:31as crazy sci-fi as it sounds. It's just
14:34basically it's launching another version
14:36of itself to just go check. And then
14:40it's back in the observe step. Great.
14:42Now we've got it. The data is rich and
14:43complete. The spoken hook retrieval is
14:45running. Let me build the full report.
14:47And now it's running another act step to
14:49build the report. So, you know, we've
14:52got this loop here that the agent runs
14:54through. And a application or or a
14:57program that facilitates that agent loop
15:00just allows that agent loop to run is
15:02known as an agent harness. And then all
15:04of like the top platforms you see online
15:07now that you hear about like Claude
15:08Code, Claude Co-work, Codeex, Manis,
15:11Plexity Computer, those are all just
15:13different agent harnesses. They're just
15:15different applications to facilitate
15:17this loop. So when people talk online
15:20about I built an agent that does this,
15:24that would imply they've built a
15:26competitor to these like they've built
15:27their own cord code. They're not
15:28building
15:29>> probably not.
15:30>> Yeah. Yeah. They're not they're not
15:31building a loop. Like the better word to
15:33describe it is they tuned an agent. So
15:36out of the box they all go through this
15:37loop, right? But we can actually we have
15:40four levers to pull to make these agents
15:42better, which is kind of like the whole
15:44concept of this episode. We're going to
15:45just do a deep dive into each of these.
15:47But at the observe step, that looks like
15:50context, which is the information you
15:51can give it, and then skills, which is
15:54the processes that you've given it that
15:56it can follow. On the think step is the
15:59LLM model. So obviously these agents
16:02that step where they're you know
16:04deciding what to do the brain behind
16:06that is the large language model which
16:08you like the large language model is
16:10like GPT 5.5 or opus 4.8 like the actual
16:15model itself and then on the act step
16:18which is giving it more tools. So like
16:21out of the box like Claude Co-work or
16:23Claude Code or most of these agents,
16:24they have like a few tools. One of them
16:26being like a web search, but if you want
16:28to then have the agent like handle your
16:31email inbox, you need to tune that act
16:34step and give it more tools.
16:36>> Yeah. I think what's really interesting
16:37about that is it's almost like sports or
16:40like F1. Like you could have a
16:42Lamborghini and then you can have a
16:44Volvo. Those Let's just look at those
16:46and make the analogy that those are kind
16:47of the LLM models.
16:48>> Yeah. The Volvo could beat the
16:50Lamborghini if the context, the skills,
16:54and the tools are really [ __ ] tuned
16:56and super super dialed.
16:57>> If you put like a V12 engine in
17:00>> I'm not a car guys. I don't know if that
17:01was I don't know if that was the right
17:02analogy, but it's just like
17:03>> well like this this is like one of the
17:04analogies I love to give is it's like
17:07today in this episode I mean you've
17:09already started but you're learning how
17:10to drive.
17:11>> Yeah. And all of these different tools
17:13on the market like Manis, Perplexity,
17:16Claude, Codeex, you can think of them as
17:18all just different cars. Like Codex is a
17:20Ferrari, like Claude, Claude Code is a
17:23Range Rover, Manis is like a G Wagon.
17:26And as long as you know how to drive,
17:28which is like just the the core
17:29fundamentals, which you know in driving,
17:31it's like steering, brakes, accelerator,
17:34you can pretty much hop in any of these
17:36cars and within 5 minutes like figure
17:38out how to work it. you know, like
17:40there'll be slight differences. Like the
17:41indicator might be on the other side or
17:43like one might have another cool feature
17:44like cruise control that another
17:46doesn't, but essentially they're all
17:48just the same thing and as long as you
17:50know how to drive, you can pop open any
17:52of these and and figure it out and start
17:54using it efficiently. Like
17:55>> hot take there. Everyone is just so
17:58bullish on a specific LLM model, but
18:00we're going to prove otherwise today.
Live demo: analyzing an Instagram Reel
18:01Let's dive into what does that loop look
18:03like right now on the IG side.
18:05>> Let's check on this on this little
18:07thing.
18:07>> Let's check on old boy.
18:08>> All right. All right. So, we can see we
18:09got a nice report here, which is what
18:10actually works on AI with Remy. And you
18:12can see it's analyzed all 60 of my reels
18:14with the top one being like over mill
18:16views. And we can see that it's like
18:18categorized them. It's like kind of put
18:21them into into categories. It's done a
18:23breakdown of each one with like the
18:25title hook like on screen like
18:27>> And if you guys look at this too, I
18:28mean, you can take direct inspiration
18:30from this. Like you see the right verse
18:32wrong way to use Claude. You can do
18:33another video. It says right verse wrong
18:35way to do X. It's saying don't ask
18:37Claude for business advice. Obviously
18:39contrarian in nature. You could just say
18:40don't ask X or don't do X to kind of you
18:43could literally just take all of these
18:45to make all of your new ideas.
18:46>> Exactly. I mean this was just a report
18:48to illustrate this example. Straight
18:49away I can think of a use case here.
18:50Like if you do content and brand deals
18:52like you might want a report like that
18:53generated for videos you did for the
18:56brand. So they can have like a a report
18:57of how the video performed for them as a
18:59company. If you're doing brand deals and
19:01stuff. There's so much stuff you can do
19:02here. You can see it's just gone through
19:03analyzed all my videos and like picked
19:05them apart like why it worked, what
19:07didn't. We can see here all 60 reels
19:09ranked by plays with the date, title,
19:11hooks, the durations, and then
19:14throughout this process, right, like I
19:16started to illustrate before how it's
19:17going through loops about like, you
19:19know, it's observing. It's decided to go
19:20find some files. It's fed that back in.
19:23Now it's decided like, all right, go do
19:24this. It it it couldn't find some data
19:28like the first spoken 5 seconds of the
19:31videos. So then it had to like call like
19:33make another couple loops to go find
19:35that. And hard to say, but I reckon this
19:37probably would have ran through about
19:38like 20 or 30 loops before it decided
19:40that the task was done. And you can see
19:42here it worked for like 20 minutes or
19:44whatever it was. So it just it will just
19:46keep going until it's decided like, "All
19:48right, this is done. I'm ready to give
19:49it to Remy."
19:50>> Yeah, it is amazing. And for anybody out
19:52there listening, you know, if you're
19:53running a company, if you want a report
19:55at 7:30 a.m. in your mailbox every
19:58single day, a beautiful PDF looking at
20:00social media analytics, e-commerce
20:02analytics, anything. Yeah, we're going
20:04to walk through how to do this. But it's
20:05crazy how granular this can get on, you
20:08know, that individual prompt. Quick
20:10second, Remy has shared so much in this
20:12episode. All of his principles and
20:13frameworks we put into a free PDF
20:15playbook. You can download it below,
20:17link it in the description. Enjoy the
20:19rest of the episode. It's really about
20:21what's what's underneath this and
20:22obviously the piping. So let's get into
Tuning an agent vs building one
20:25how to actually, you know, you call it
20:26tune to to optimize the agent to make it
20:29useful. So why don't you kind of walk us
20:31through
20:32>> those three big pillars and we're going
20:34to deep dive into each.
20:36>> 100%. So
20:38>> a raw like agent out of the box like if
20:40you open up Claude Code or or Co-work or
20:42any of these popular agents on the
20:43market and just like give it a task like
20:45it's they're really capable. probably
20:48not going to do it in the way you like
20:49and you're probably going to get an
20:50output you're not happy with. And that's
20:52why a lot of people like start using
20:53these tools because it's all the rage
20:54and then they just quit because it's
20:56like, oh, it didn't work for me. In
20:57order to actually make the most out of
20:59these agents and make them actually
21:00useful, you need to treat setting them
21:02up like onboarding a real employee. So,
21:05you can think of agents as like really
21:06really capable strangers. Picture that
21:08dude, you know, like we've all got that
21:10friend that's like really really smart,
21:11like good at solving problems, and we'll
21:13just like keep working until like the
21:14task is done. you now have the
21:16opportunity to hire this guy into your
21:18business for $100 a month in salary,
21:22>> $1,200 a year. Sign me up.
21:23>> And and he has infinite bandwidth. He
21:26can just like like there's no limit to
21:28what he can do. But no matter how great
21:31he is and smart and capable, unless he
21:33fully understands you in your business
21:35or if you're an employee, your role and
21:37what you do, unless he has the tools he
21:39needs to actually do the work, like an
21:41email account, a browser, a computer,
21:44and lastly, unless he's trained on like
21:46your secret source that makes your
21:48business unique and your processes, he's
21:50not going to be very useful at all.
21:52>> All right, so let's actually onboard
21:54this hire. And you mentioned context,
21:56tools, and skills. give us full context
21:58of how you look at onboarding the hire.
22:01>> Like I said before, this this really
22:02capable stranger you've now got working
22:04for you, he's not going to be able to do
22:05very much unless he fully understands
22:07you and your business, has the tools to
22:09do the work, and then knows how you like
22:11the work done. And you do this through
22:14context, tools, and skills. So context
22:17being like information to the agent,
22:19like what you do, your business, like
22:21your brand voice, things like that.
22:24tools being like, you know, a computer,
22:25a browser, Gmail, notion, Slack, and
22:28then skills being like your SOPs, like
22:30your special source, like literally like
22:32documents like you give a VA. And then
22:35if you get those three things right,
22:36that's how you like properly on board
22:38the stranger, and then you have the best
22:40employee you ever had.
22:41>> Sounds amazing. Let's go super super
22:44deep into each one of them. So, we have
Context files and the CLAUDE.md
22:46context, tools, and skills. Let's double
22:48click on context and tell us exactly
22:50what you mean by context. Yeah. So,
22:53context is literally like everything
22:55that the agent should already know
22:57before you give it a task. And for me,
23:00this looks like things like about me.
23:02So, all information about like me as the
23:04user cuz I want them to like I want my
23:06my new employee to understand like
23:07everything about like who I am and what
23:09I do. Even some things about like my
23:11story and like my come up and things cuz
23:13then it can use it if it's ever writing
23:15like a landing page copy or like a sales
23:17letter script. it can reference like
23:19real things in my life. It also looks
23:22like a document about your business
23:25information. A like a maybe another
23:26document of like your offer catalog
23:28where you talk about like all your
23:29services and offers and their prices and
23:30how they link together like upsells,
23:32downells. Another one might be like an
23:34ideal customer profile which is one of
23:36my like most important ones. So it like
23:38knows who your business like targets and
23:42quite literally
23:44like if you were onboarding this new
23:45employee, right? like a real employee,
23:47you'd probably like give them a PDFs or
23:49like some sort of documents, usually
23:50like Google Docs, Word Docs that teach
23:53them all of this stuff or like the key
23:54information you want them to know. You
23:56you are literally doing the same to the
23:57agent. So like just like you know you
23:59get get a new VA, you like give them all
24:01these docs, you're literally giving
24:03these docs to the agent and these are in
24:05the form of markdown. So for the
24:10listeners that don't really understand
24:11what markdown is, markdown's like it's
24:14it's basically one step above a .txt
24:17file. So TXT text file is just literally
24:20plain text. No headings, no bolds, like
24:23nothing. It's just text. Markdown is
24:25literally just one step above that. It's
24:27just a plain text file, but you can do
24:29like headings, boldings, like bullet
24:32points,
24:32>> simple formatting, stuff like that.
24:34>> Yeah, it's just like a slightly more
24:36formatted text file. And you know, if if
24:38any of you use out there use like a tool
24:39like Notion, the notion docs or like
24:41ClickUp, the ClickUp docs, they're all
24:44in markdown format. Just super simple
24:46like headings one, twos, and threes,
24:48text, bullets, and bolding and like
24:49italics. Just the super basic
24:51formatting.
24:51>> And to give you guys further context,
24:52it's basically like a simpler doc file.
24:54So, it's a text doc. It's somewhere in
24:56that universe.
24:57>> Exactly. And the reason like why
24:59markdown is so important is you could
25:02theoretically let's just say you're
25:03building you're following along and
25:04you're trying to build out your own
25:06agent. You could just give them all
25:08these in a docs file, right? Or a PDF.
25:11However, it it's a lot harder for the
25:14agent to access the information. Like if
25:16you give an agent your ideal customer
25:17profile as a markdown file versus a PDF
25:19with the PDF, it's going to have to
25:22unpack it and like try and extract the
25:24text cuz it's just the way that the PDF
25:26file is like built. It's hard for the
25:28agent to like ingest the information.
25:30Whereas with markdown, it's just like
25:32that straight ingest. It can just read
25:34it really really easily. And we want to
25:35make things easy for the agent because
25:37that just means it's things are quicker
25:39for you and things are cheaper in terms
25:40of like cost for the model running. So
25:42markdown is just the best way to be
25:44giving information to your agent.
25:46>> To give people context as well, how many
25:47MD files do you have on your computer?
25:50>> Like hundreds.
25:50>> Hundreds.
25:52>> But like so the these you're literally
25:54building out like markdown files for key
25:58areas of like information that you want
25:59to give this agent.
26:01>> And as far as that goes too, you can get
26:03would you just say the more granular the
26:05better?
26:06>> Not necessarily. I don't really think
26:08there's like a right or or wrong way to
26:10do it. It's more like I I just build the
26:12markdown files for me almost like how I
26:14would want them formatted. Like I've
26:16just like literally got like a about me,
26:18like a business info, brand voice, idle,
26:20customer profile, like offer catalog. I
26:23could put them all in one doc, but then
26:25it's just like I don't know. I almost
26:27just prefer them having having them
26:28separate.
26:29>> Yeah, we're going to get into folder
26:30structure as well, too, so everybody
26:31understands kind of from a macro
26:33perspective how this brain looks and how
26:34it kind of all flows. I think for the
26:37people out there listening, you know,
26:38we'll get in, you know, what is the
26:39first thing that you can do to kind of
26:41start your journey. I feel like like the
26:42about MD file is like a pretty clear one
26:45of like
26:46>> great spot to start. And the thing you
26:48need to understand is these markdown
26:50files you're building are like assets.
26:52They're assets for you and your company.
26:54So like really like spending the time to
26:56build these docs like really really
26:57well. Like if you just like take the
27:00time to build a really wellthoughtout
27:02about your business doc and that like
27:04the ideal customer profile they're
27:06assets for your company because if you
27:08rush the ideal customer profile doc and
27:10it's just like a bunch of AI slop that
27:12you got chat here to put together and
27:13you haven't read over every line. There
27:14might be a line in there that says like
27:16my ideal customer like if you're a
27:18skincare brand a line in there in your
27:21ideal customer profile might say their
27:22problem point is like red skin or
27:25something. And if you don't check over
27:27that now in all your marketing copy,
27:29you're gonna have like it targeting
27:31towards the angle of red skin. And if
27:33that's not something that your product
27:34solves, then that's like a that's an
27:38issue. You know,
27:39>> the answer on the MD files is probably
27:41you want to minimize the subjectivity in
27:43the MD files. Make them all objective,
27:44like stuff that's kind of black and
27:46white. Like I definitely would use this
27:48as an input to make decisions.
27:49>> Yeah. Yeah. Agreed. And I and I get
27:51Claude to build all these files for me,
27:53but I read over every line before I like
27:55give it the okay.
27:56>> Guys, I got a little cheat code for you
27:58too on the about.md file. Like the
28:00craziest thing about all this is like
28:02I'm not saying have Claude do it, but
28:04you can say to Claude, I want to build
28:06an about.md file. How should I, you
28:08know, how should I process this? How
28:10should I think through this? Yeah.
28:11>> And that's where you I do think you can
28:12use something like chat because you can
28:14kind of go back and forth and build it.
28:16>> Yeah, that's like a a perfectly fine use
28:17case for like the chat models. Like
28:19that's how I built out all of these. I
28:20literally said to Claude, like in a new
28:22chat, I was like, "Yo, I wanted you to
28:24build out a bunch of markdown files for
28:26me, like an about me, and I had a custom
28:28profile, just listed out all the ones I
28:30wanted, and I just said, interview me,
28:32like to extract the information from my
28:35brain to build these files, and I sat
28:36there like using Whisper Flow answering
28:39all the questions for like 3 hours,
28:41>> just riffing, and then Whisper Flow just
28:43cleans it all up."
28:43>> Yeah. It just like sucks it all out of
28:45your brain into these files that are now
28:46assets for your company that you can
28:48then give to your agents. And like one
28:49of the key distingu like the key
28:52distinguishments to make is when you're
28:54using these chat models, they're sort of
28:56like a black box. Like everyone always
28:59goes on about like my chat GBT knows so
29:01much about me. I don't want to move into
29:02Claude because like Claude doesn't know
29:04me. ChatGBT knows me so well. And it's
29:07like, you're right, but what it's doing
29:09is it's like got pretty much just a
29:13markdown file like memory MD or like
29:16about user.md in the background and
29:20chatgbt is building this file on your
29:22behalf without you knowing and you can't
29:23access this file. So if you're like
29:25starting a chat GBT chat and you say in
29:26there like I'm I've just moved to New
29:29York City like what are some things like
29:31good cafes near me? JGBC in the
29:34background will take out that snippet of
29:36like I just moved to New York and save
29:38it in its markdown file and then now
29:40like it knows you've moved to New York
29:42and you just think that this model's
29:43like almost trained on you now but in
29:45reality it's just a markdown file where
29:47it's choosing what to save and the other
29:49thing about that is you can't control
29:52what it saves as well like your chat GBT
29:54like knows everything about you and then
29:56like you know you're writing like a
29:57landing page you're asking for advice on
29:59chat GBC like hey how do I break up with
30:01my girlfriend and then you're writing a
30:02landing page and it's like all of a
30:04sudden the landing page copies about you
30:05breaking up with your girlfriend. It's
30:06like you can't you have no control with
30:10these chat models about like what it
30:12knows and what it saves
30:13>> like it it does get mixed up sometimes.
30:15>> Exactly. So you want to make sure that
30:17you have full control. You want to own
30:18that context and that's like I'm talking
30:21about just in the format of these
30:22markdown files and then you can they're
30:24assets that you own now and you just
30:25bring them to whatever agent you're
30:26using. So like I've got my folder set up
30:29which we're going to get into with all
30:30the context in there and I can just open
30:33up that folder in claude code or codeex
30:36or manus and like straight away it knows
30:38everything about me. It's like it
30:40doesn't matter like I can just switch
30:42and stay sort of like mobile. Guys, real
30:45quick, everything that Remy is teaching
30:46you in this video is absolutely free. No
30:50gatekeeping as always. But for the
30:52people who want it implemented, Remy
30:53made a plugin that builds this entire
30:55system for you around your business and
30:57your life. The loop, the folder
30:59structure, all of it. I am not
31:01technical. I did it myself. 90 minutes,
31:04one sitting, done. Sign up for the
31:05newsletter below and get 50% off at
31:08launch. Enjoy the rest of the episode.
31:10So, the first step for onboarding agent
31:11is like building out these context
31:12files, right? And I'm going to show you
31:14like what this actually looks like. So,
31:16I'm going to open up Cloud Code again.
31:17Here,
31:19we're going to do a new session.
31:22Nice and clean.
31:23>> Hey, there we go. And I'm got my OS
31:25folder open now, which we'll touch on
31:26later. But the way that these agents
31:28work now is a lot of them run like
31:30locally on your computer as opposed to
31:32like the cloud. And what locally on your
31:36computer means is it's like instead of
31:37having like a project on your chatbt
31:39account, your that project folder now
31:41lives on your computer. And there's a
31:44lot of benefits to that which I'll I'll
31:46touch on later, but I'm just going to
31:47open up this one I've created now called
31:49demo. So this is just a brand new
31:52folder. You can see it's completely
31:53empty
31:53>> and that's just you just created an
31:55empty folder on your desktop.
31:56>> Yep. So it's desktop empty folder called
31:58demo. And we're just going to open that
32:00up. So now you can see in cloud code
32:02we've scoped the agent to just work in
32:05that folder. Just like you know when you
32:08have a a project in chat GBT, it's like
32:10any of the chats you do in that project.
32:12It's like scoping chat GBT to just work
32:14there.
32:14>> So now it's a new blank canvas and
32:17you're you're deciding what inputs go
32:19into this folder.
32:20>> Exactly. Exactly. So you can see just to
32:22demonstrate this the importance of
32:23context. If I'm opening up this brand
32:25new folder, so I've been working with
32:27claude code, right, for for like eight
32:30months and if I ask like you know who am
32:35I?
32:37So you can see like when I've asked it,
32:39there's no markdown files for it to look
32:40at. So, I've asked it who am I? I've
32:42been using CL code for eight months. It
32:44should know. But it doesn't. It's
32:45because all the context you own in those
32:47files. It's not a black box.
32:48>> So, if someone has an alter alias, they
32:50can they can just create different
32:51alteres in in in different folders.
32:53>> Yeah. Essentially, so you can see here
32:55it it tried to read the memory MD mark
32:58file, markdown file, but it doesn't
32:59exist. So, you can see here it's just
33:00like the f file doesn't exist.
33:02>> So, it went through that loop. It was
33:03searching, but there was no kind of raw
33:05data to extract.
33:05>> There was nothing for it to to do.
33:07>> So, how do they know the email and the
33:08likely name? because that was just from
33:10my claude account. It must just have
33:11access to that. That's literally just
33:12because that's the email associated with
33:14my claude account and name. Actually,
33:16no, no, no. Actually, it's it's pulled
33:17that from my computer because this agent
33:19lives on, you know, it's got you got a
33:21username on the computer. That's where
33:22it's gotten it from.
33:23>> Okay. So, what does this look like when
33:24you're on steroids? Let's dive deeper
33:26into kind of doing these MD files.
33:28>> Yeah. So, let's let's continue
33:29onboarding our agent, right? So, the
33:32most important markdown file, like, you
33:34know, we've got our markdown context
33:35files. The most important one when
33:37you're dealing with agents is what's
33:39called an agents.mmd file. And I mean
33:43claude have just decided to be difficult
33:44and in in their systems they call it a
33:45claw.md. But in pretty much all the
33:47other harnesses you use like codeex and
33:49open claw and stuff it's called an
33:51agents.mmd. And essentially what happens
33:53is is every time you're like starting a
33:56new session and by new session I just
33:58mean like if we go back to that goal to
34:00result thing it's like every time you're
34:01going to like give it a new goal you're
34:03kind of going to click like new session.
34:04the same way you start a new chat in
34:05chat GBT.
34:07>> Each session has an amount of like
34:08space. It's kind of like you can think
34:10of like the agents like brain power and
34:12as the session starts to like fill up
34:15the you have what's called context rot
34:18which is basically like have you ever
34:20been in a in a chat on chat GBT and you
34:22it's like so long you've been in there
34:23for hours and it starts to just like go
34:25crazy like it literally just starts to
34:26just like hallucinate forget things. So
34:28what what's happening there is every
34:30time you start a new session like a
34:31fresh like chat window I guess it's got
34:34like a certain amount of of I guess
34:36capacity you could call it like free for
34:38the actual work and what your sessions
34:40probably look like is something like
34:41this where they're just like like so
34:44like so much information that the stuff
34:45you started telling it at the start like
34:47fall out the top
34:48>> that was V1 Mark bro I'm not on V1 Mark
34:50anyone I mean I think 99.999% of the
34:53world is in probably V1 Mark one endless
34:56chat to be frank with you.
34:57>> Yeah. Yeah, probably. So, every time you
34:59start a fresh session, the way that this
35:01agent like knows about you. Same way
35:02that chat gbt's memory works is if you
35:04start a new chat in the background, it
35:06started the chat with that memory. MD
35:09loaded into it, but you can't see that,
35:11right? So, you give it a prompt like uh
35:14write me an email in chatgbt and to you
35:17it just shows as like that one prompt
35:18you've given chatg, but in the
35:20background it's also loaded in that
35:21memory markdown file. So instead you've
35:23got like like a hundred lines of
35:26information about Mark and then write me
35:28an email. So it's got all that context
35:30in it. Same thing happens with agents,
35:32right? So we've started a fresh session
35:34here. What this actually looks like is
35:36any file, any markdown file in that
35:38folder titled claude.md gets
35:41automatically loaded in. So your
35:44claude.md or agents.mmd
35:47that's like your your northstar markdown
35:50file. That's the one you need in every
35:51single project you're working in. So to
35:54illustrate my point, I've created this
35:56folder here with a claude.mmd in it,
35:58right? That I've pre-prepared. And we
36:01can actually just open this up. So you
36:02can actually see what a markdown file
36:03looks like. And I got Claude to build
36:05this for me. So we can see Rey's AI
36:08operating system. Who am I? Rey's the
36:10founder of AI with Remy. The business,
36:13the brand voice, the ideal customer, the
36:15offer, the values, how I like to work,
36:17preferences.
36:19This is like our you know northstar
36:21context file and that's the one that's
36:22going to load in to each new session by
36:24default
36:25>> to give macro context on how you're
36:27thinking.
36:27>> Yeah. To give macro context essentially.
36:29So that same example right if we go back
36:32into claude here we just asked it in
36:34that folder when it was empty who am I?
36:35It had no idea. Now if we go new session
36:39same folder but it's now got that
36:41claude.mmd in it. And we can say who am
36:43I?
36:44>> Heyo.
36:46And you can see here now it knows
36:49exactly who I am. It knows exactly like
36:51what I do, my background, the brand, the
36:53three products.
36:54So that's like a great illustration
36:57there. Do you see how how it goes from
36:59knowing nothing about you to now having
37:00that context file that knows everything?
37:02>> That's why it's so important to be lean
37:04and intentional on what files you upload
37:06obviously in there.
37:07>> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So that's that's
37:09your pinnacle markdown context file.
37:11That's like the first one that you need
37:13to build. the the part about the
37:15claw.mmd made sense, right? That gets
37:17slotted in and it's like the agent wakes
37:19up to do a task and he's got that loaded
37:21into his brain, right?
37:22>> Yeah. And that's something that's you
37:24should constantly be updating if
37:26something big in your life changes.
37:27Correct.
37:27>> Yeah. Yeah. Correct.
37:28>> Yep.
37:29>> So, you're probably like wondering now,
37:30okay, great. I get that claw.md
37:32agents.mmd. Where do the other ones fit
37:34in? Like the about me and the customer
37:37profile, like where do I put those? So
37:39those ones, the other markdown files,
37:41they don't get loaded into that session
37:43window by default. So we need to we've
37:45got our CLMD that gets loaded in by
37:48default. And then we need to tell it in
37:49that that it will always read, hey, go
37:52check here as well. So then what I like
37:54to do, how I have this set up is we got
37:58our claw. MD here, and I'm going to
38:00paste in these other ones I've
38:01pre-prepared.
38:03So now you can see we've got a couple of
38:05other files taking shape here. So we've
38:08got our claw.mmd.
38:10We've got this context folder with all
38:12these markdown files in it. My values,
38:14my offer, my item customer profile,
38:16brand voice, about me, and then this
38:18memory.mmd, which we'll touch on in a
38:20second. So by default, claude is any any
38:23project you open up claude in to work,
38:25it's always going to read that
38:26claude.mmd. And then we're going to
38:28point to the context folder in the
38:30claw.md. So you can start to like
38:32compartmentalize and like modulate your
38:34your project, if you will. making like a
38:36whole like a like decision rubric like a
38:38decision tree of you know if it goes
38:39here it opens up this folder and stuff
38:41like that.
38:42>> Exactly. And then this is like all these
38:44agents you build they're super like
38:45modular. It's like you hear other ones
38:47really popular like Obsidian is a really
38:49popular thing that people give to their
38:51agents as like a second brain
38:53essentially like there's loads of
38:55different like frameworks like that. And
38:57instead what they're doing like if if
38:59you had this folder and you wanted to
39:00use obsidian instead you would instead
39:03delete this context folder and you would
39:05in your cloudmd point to the obsidian
39:07vault instead. That's kind of how people
39:08are doing that like you can kind of
39:10modulate the the context.
39:11>> So in short you can kind of redirect it
39:13whichever route you want to go.
39:14>> Yeah. Exactly. And it all stems from
39:16this file here. So now this new setup
39:18we've got is kind of like evolved. So we
39:21just the first one was just the
39:22claw.mmd. And that's probably the most
39:23basic one that if you're trying to like
39:24start using agents for yourself. That's
39:26probably the first step I'd say is just
39:27create a folder and then just build a
39:30cloud. Mmd just ask claude, hey build
39:32this claw.mmd file for me and just
39:34include in it like an overview on who I
39:35am and what I do just to give it like
39:37that base context. Then v2 is now we're
39:39adding in like this extra folder for
39:41like we're expanding out our our context
39:44here. And if we open claw.md now, now
39:47I'm going to point to that context
39:49folder. So you can see if we open it up,
39:50it's like who am I? My context read
39:52before any task. Everything you should
39:55know about me and the business lives in
39:56the context folder and then it's just
39:58given an overview on the files.
39:59>> Wow.
40:00>> Load the relevant files in before
40:01starting any tasks. Assumptions are the
40:03enemy. If the answer isn't there, ask
40:05me. And then everything on continues
40:07like normal. And then the memory I'll
40:09touch on in a sec.
40:10>> And then as you keep developing more
40:12folders, you just keep updating. The
40:15most important thing is the claw empty
40:16file cuz that is going to create the
40:18infrastructure like you could have like
40:20marketing, finance,
40:22>> logistics.
40:23>> Yeah.
40:23>> And then underneath that you can have
40:24multiple folders.
40:25>> Exactly. So when I asked Claude before
40:28like who am I? It knew straight away.
40:29That's cuz that file automatically
40:30loaded in. But if I deleted that claw.md
40:33and then asked it who am I again?
40:35>> Back to dummy. Back to dummy.
40:36>> Well, it's got the context folder.
40:38>> Oh yeah.
40:39>> If I just deleted the CL MD and left the
40:41context one, it wouldn't know straight
40:42away. It would then go through a loop to
40:44think like, oh well, I don't I don't
40:46know who who he is. Uh, let me think. I
40:49can let me let me check for what folders
40:51I've got. Oh, context. Then it would
40:52read it. Then it would load it in. But
40:54it's just like it's slow and it's got to
40:56go through another loop. So like that's
40:57why you have the claws that MD there.
40:59>> Yeah.
40:59>> Why why don't you everybody listening
41:00right now just ask it something very
41:01very basic under the notion that now you
41:03have context based in like something
41:06about any of those kind of raw folders.
41:08I know you had under there like brand
41:09voice like anything.
41:11>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, what I what I might do
41:12is I'll just say like write me a cold
41:15email to
41:16>> how about to Mark to come on uh to come
41:18on open residency.
41:19>> Actually, know this. I'll just say like
41:23>> I'm going to whisper flow it to demo.
41:25>> Yeah. Amazing.
41:25>> Makes sense.
41:27>> Write me a cold email to Mark from Open
41:30Residency podcast to try and get me a
41:33position on the show.
41:34>> Wow. Whisper for the win, baby.
41:36>> Whisper flow is so good. Like talk about
41:39like agents stacking up the
41:41productivity. You can even stack on top
41:43of the agents when you start using
41:44Whisper Flow because it's like you can
41:45just just get things down onto the page
41:49at the speed that you can think.
41:50>> For the people out there listening, I'm
41:51going to give you guys a little cheat
41:52code. One of our episodes a bit before
41:53this is of Chris Voss, which is a
41:55negotiation expert.
41:56>> You can make some MD files with him to
41:58speak in his language. So it probably
42:00would be a bit more persuasive on this
42:02email that you're going to send me.
42:03Let's let's let's see how good it is.
42:04Let's see your sales pitch right now.
42:05>> Okay, great. So it's gone through a
42:06couple loops, right? It's got decided to
42:08go and research who you are. It's gone
42:10to go and like find
42:11>> that is me
42:12>> open residency
42:13>> and now it's written right. It's like
42:16literally said here like like we haven't
42:18given any other context. We just said
42:19write the cold email and it's got cuz
42:21it's got our our clawd and then this
42:24context folder and that context folder
42:25is so rich with like my values, my
42:27philosophies, my like thought processes
42:29on things and my offers. So you can see
42:32like the subject lines, right? Operating
42:34a 20 person team without hiring 20
42:35people. guest idea for open residency.
42:38But the email right here, hey Mark, been
42:40working through open residency. The
42:41operator as last line of defense framing
42:44is the realist take on running a
42:45business. Terrible cold email by the
42:47way. Terrible. But it's basically you
42:50can see here it knows everything about
42:51me. It's like I teach founders to stop
42:52drowning in tools.
42:54>> This is where we're going to get into
42:55like the additive layers of like an
42:57example is like that negotiation
43:00>> skill that you know how you speak skill.
43:02Like you can get way deeper to make this
43:04thing absolutely flawless. Clearly, it
43:06did an amazing job.
43:07>> Yeah. I mean, the key point demonstrate
43:08was right that it just knows about me.
43:10It it can write an email with all the
43:12context. Like, it doesn't like the
43:14email's terrible, but like and you can
43:16tell it knows about like what I do and
43:18my philosophy.
43:19>> Amazing. You're booked. Let's go.
43:21[laughter] We on. We're here.
43:22>> Okay. Great. So,
43:24>> and just to take a step further, just to
43:26kind of paint the picture of where we're
43:27going to go with this.
43:28>> Yeah.
43:29>> This could be this email is drafted. It
43:31could also be automatically sent as well
43:33too, which we're going to get to to
43:34connectors and MCPS as well too, just so
43:36people know like this could be fully a
43:38toz. Find all the business podcasts,
43:41draft the email, and send the email.
43:42>> Then you schedule it. So every week it's
43:43going to or every morning it's going to
43:44go find business podcast, cold email
43:46them to get you book calls, like all
43:48this stuff. It's crazy.
43:49>> You're going to need to dial that email
43:50in a little better for me to say yes
43:51though, but it's okay. Don't worry. Keep
43:52going.
43:53>> So So that's that's what I'm going to do
43:54now. I want to display like so
43:56understand like we need these context
43:58markdown files. The most important one's
44:00the claw.md that then points to the
44:02others. And now like when we open up a
A memory system that improves itself
44:04new session, it it it straight away
44:06knows everything about us, right? But
44:08the next layer of context is memory,
44:11which is still kind of under the
44:13umbrella of context, right? Memory and
44:15lessons. So off the rip, it knows all
44:18this stuff about us. But what if we ask
44:19it to do something differently? So you
44:22can see I've got in here this memory.mmd
44:26file, right? If we open this up, this is
44:29just this has got memory learned rules,
44:32lessons Remy has taught me. I check
44:33these before every task and it's got
44:35never write formally, just a couple of
44:37like random preferences. So the agent
44:38like knows everything about us out of
44:40the box, but we want it to be like be
44:42able to improve over time and like if we
44:44correct it, we wanted to save that
44:45somewhere, which also counts as context,
44:47right? So I like to build this little
44:49like kind of de facto memory system. I
44:53think like when I started putting this
44:55together, it was because none of these
44:56agent harnesses had memory built in. So
44:58if you said to it like right this this
45:00email right here, if we said like can
45:03you please sign off the email with
45:05cheers Remy and like I always want you
45:08to sign off emails with cheers.
45:09>> It's not auto updating unless you put
45:11>> Exactly. It's not so like before the
45:13last maybe in the last month they've a
45:15lot of these harnesses have now added in
45:17memory as a feature but before that you
45:19had to do it yourself cuz otherwise it
45:20would say like if you didn't have that
45:22in place it would say like yep got it
45:23but then next session in a week time
45:25when you write an email it wouldn't do
45:26it.
45:27>> Show them a memory MD just in case
45:28they're driving the Kia and not the
45:29Lamborghini and maybe that LLM does not
45:31have it built in. Show them a little bit
45:33of context.
45:33>> So we can just show in here like the
45:36memory
45:36>> MD. No shame on the Kia either. I've
45:38seen some nice Kia by the way too.
45:39[laughter]
45:40So, we got the the memory learn rules.
45:42These just a couple I put in here
45:43before, like never write formally, like
45:44always use real examples, never generic
45:46placeholder ones. And then same way that
45:49we're pointing Claude at the context
45:52folder, we're also going to point at the
45:53memory folder. And I've just basically
45:55said, you know, your memory lives in
45:56this file. When I correct you, write
45:58lessons into this memory file as a new
46:00rule and then check it before every
46:01task. This is how you go from good
46:03assistant to know exactly how I like
46:04things done. And I have one little tip
46:07is if you use the at@ symbol if you tag
46:09a file like that then it like it's
46:11almost like a a sim link. I don't know
46:13if you know what that is on a desktop.
46:15It's like
46:15>> I don't
46:16>> if we for example if I tell it
46:18>> is it like a lighter load on the brain
46:20like that it zips right into the file or
46:22something?
46:22>> Yep. Zips right in the file. It's it's
46:24like as good as the file being loaded in
46:26if that makes sense. Cuz if we just tell
46:28it like go use the memory MD and don't
46:30add it'll then have to make a loop to go
46:32and find the file and bring it in. But
46:34if you just have like the app, it's
46:35automatically loaded straight in.
46:37>> Guys, we're going Lamborghini full
46:38steroids here.
46:39>> Hell yeah. So
46:42Claude like has this this built in, but
46:44even still, it's still almost a little
46:46bit of a black box. It will save it to
46:48like Claude's desktop app. So now if
46:50you're trying to work with this folder
46:51in like codecs where you want to try and
46:53like use other harnesses, you don't own
46:55the context file. Claude kind of owns
46:57it. So like that's still why in all my
47:00projects I still kind of add this memory
47:01system in. So we can just test this out
47:04here, right? And we can say
47:06please in future when creating websites
47:09I want you to always use dark mode and
47:12never ever use light mode.
47:17>> Here we go. It's done it. Bang.
47:19>> Okay, great. So you can see it's now
47:21gone and said add I'll add this to your
47:23memory rules so I never forget it. It's
47:25read the memory md and then you can see
47:28it's added it's edited and it's added
47:30this line. When building any websites,
47:32always use dark mode. Never use light
47:34mode.
47:35>> Love that. That's obviously in that auto
47:38updated in that folder that you showed
47:39us.
47:39>> Yep. So, if we go back here into this
47:41demo folder, we go into our memory.mmd
47:43file and open that bad boy up. You can
47:45see when building any website, always
47:47use dark mode, never use light mode. And
47:50then now this is like we own that that
47:52preferences, right? This will grow over
47:53time. And like I've had the question
47:56before, it's like what happens if that
47:57just keeps growing? you've got like
47:59hundreds of different lines in there and
48:00they all start to like contradict and
48:02get messy. Like I don't think that will
48:05happen. Maybe in like 6 months time you
48:07can just do a spring clean. Just
48:08>> open a session with Claude and go like
48:10>> just audit my memories and just take out
48:12anything that's contradictory or
48:13conflicting and cleans things up.
48:16>> So that is pretty much like context 101.
48:19Just to recap, we've got the claw.md
48:21which Claude autoloads in every session.
48:23We want to give it more context. we add
48:25that extra little file and then point
48:27claude to that folder and then we've set
48:29up our little memory like
48:30self-improvement system as well.
48:32>> So from a loop perspective we're going
48:34to start with the about.mme the claw.md
48:36is going to be kind of the the macro
48:39infrastructure which is then going to
48:41lead into more folders which we'll
48:42obviously get into and then the memory
48:44MD is just a self-fulfilling loop that
48:46just keeps remembering all the
48:48preferences and such.
48:49>> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So now like every
48:52every session
48:54we start that observe step now has all
48:58the context and skills loaded in. So
49:00every time we're giving it a goal
49:01straight away in the first observe step
49:03before it does anything we've already
49:05got like now I mean skills will touch on
49:07but now you can see we've really tuned
49:09up that context step. So when it starts
49:12to work on your tasks it has like all
49:14the information that it needs. And I
49:16think one last thing just to just to
49:18finally like drive home this point. We
49:20can run in Claude code this little
49:22command. Don't worry about all the
49:23others. We'll touch on that later. But
49:24this is a one that comes built in with
49:26Claude. You can go slash context and it
49:29will actually pull up that real bar
49:31chart for you. So you can see here
49:33context window. We've used 6% of that
49:36bar.
49:37>> Are you talking about 6% of like the
49:38memory within that individual chat?
49:40>> Yeah, within that individual chat. So
49:41you can see it's already like our bar.
49:44used up 6%. And if we look at like we
49:48we've given it one task here, right?
49:49Like please in future tiny little
49:51message and it's 6% which is a fair bit.
49:53It's almost like it's a fair bit of of
49:55the total space used. So you're starting
49:57each session even if we just did like a
49:59blank thing with no messages sent you'll
50:02always like have a little bit of your
50:04window chewed up because it's feeding in
50:06all that context before you start any
50:08task. That's why you could also argue
50:09going back to the beginning is keep the
50:11MD files like lean and cut, you know,
50:13only use what you need to use.
50:14>> Yeah, exactly. Because if you have these
50:15like really bloated context files and
50:17like you have, let's say you have 100
50:18markdown files, you start a session and
50:20the context window is already like 20%
50:22full. It's like you you want to Yeah.
50:24100% to your point, you want to keep
50:25them nice and lean and like really like
50:27potent with like high density
50:29information.
50:30>> Amazing.
50:30>> I use Whisper Flow for hours every
50:33single day. I think way faster than
50:35[music] I type. I speak about 220 words
50:38a minute and type only 45. Whisper Flow
50:41closes that gap. It's a voicetoext tool
50:44that works anywhere on your computer or
50:46phone. You talk and clean formatted text
50:49shows up wherever your cursor is. All
50:51right, let me show you. I'm going to
50:52answer a real email right now without
50:54typing. You can see here Tiger is asking
50:56for feedback on our intro video for the
50:58next episode. Watch how I respond. if
51:00you could just make a few changes. Uh,
51:02make the red a little bit brighter,
51:04[music] the typography a little bit
51:05smaller. Uh, for the music, if you can
51:07just give me some other options, and
51:09[music] that first photo, some more
51:10options as well. Uh, please give me
51:12three options for each. And, uh, make
51:14sure you send it to me by end of the day
51:15Friday. Thanks.
51:17So, as you can tell, the text is way
51:19cleaner. [music]
51:20I kind of speak in half sentences and
51:22sometimes mumble on. This makes it very
51:24clean, formatted perfectly, and avoids
51:27all the small mistakes. This is a
51:29product that I cannot live without. I
51:31promise you that you will love it. If
51:33you guys want to get one month free of
51:35Whisper Flow Pro, click the link below
51:37and use code open residency.
51:41So, yeah, context. We've we've we've
51:43taken our really capable stranger that
51:45we've employed and we've told him
51:47everything he needs to know about us.
51:49He's ready to start working for us, but
51:51he's still going to be pretty useless if
51:52you don't give him like tools to work
51:54with. Like imagine like you've just got
51:55this this dude that's working for you,
51:57but it's like he doesn't have an email
51:58account or a computer or a browser or a
52:00phone. He's like still going to be
52:02useless. So we need to give him tools to
52:03be able to actually complete the work
52:05for us. So the way we do this is what's
MCP connectors, the universal translator
52:08called a thing called MCP. It stands for
52:10model context protocol. And I don't want
52:12to lose anyone here. It's it sounds
52:14technical, but like it's it's super
52:16simple. And and this all MCP is is just
52:18a way for your agent to connect to
52:21tools, things like
52:22>> third party tools.
52:23>> Yeah. It's a third party tools. Yeah,
52:24exactly. Things like, you know, Slack,
52:26Gmail, Calendar, like you need a way for
52:28your agent to to connect and you do that
52:30through what's called MCP.
52:32>> To give people more context as well, I
52:33think a lot of people out there use
52:34either N8 or Zapier is a big one that
52:37people use to kind of extract
52:38information and and connect it.
52:40>> And we're in the era now. I'm so curious
52:42to see. I think all the principles here
52:44are evergreen,
52:45>> but it's like it's a big deal now to
52:47have an MCP. And like some of these big
52:49companies don't have MCPs
52:51>> and like it's it's they're crazy. We're
52:53going to get into the BI of MCP
52:55>> that it's what I make purchasing
52:56decisions. Now, if if I'm choosing,
52:58let's say I'm choosing like a marketing
52:59email marketing software, for example,
53:01if like if I've got five options and if
53:04if they don't have an MCP for a way for
53:07me to connect my agent to it, I it's out
53:09of the question. I won't use it. I don't
53:11use front ends anymore of apps. Yeah.
53:13like like the future of this is and
53:17everyone that I know that works the way
53:18this new way of working this stage two
53:20which is agents they don't really use
53:22like frontends anymore like I complete a
53:25full workday from with inside like my
53:26cloud code or or agent harness that I'm
53:29using
53:29>> by front ends just so people out there
53:30listening like you're not in platform in
53:32behind on the dashboard you're just
53:34extracting from there and then working
53:36within your workspace
53:37>> y like I use Google calendar I use Gmail
53:40I use Slack I use Stripe for payments
53:42cal.com for bookings And I can't even
53:45tell you the last time I've opened any
53:46of those apps up. They're just all
53:47connected into CLA. It's this new it's
53:49it's a completely new way of working
53:51where you've got
53:52>> Claude or whatever AI harness you're
53:54using that sits on this as like an
53:57intelligence layer on top of all your
53:59tools and then you're just interacting
54:00with like this this intelligence layer.
54:03So, you know, I've alluded to MCPS being
54:05just this this way for your agent to
54:07connect to tools. But super quick on
54:09like what it actually is, right? So
54:10before MCPs existed, if you wanted to
54:13connect your agent like Claude to a
54:15tool, it was it was difficult. It was
54:18possible, but required lots of custom
54:19development. And the way to think about
54:20it is like Claude speaks English, right?
54:22And all these different tools speak
54:23different languages. Like Gmail speaks
54:25French, Notion speaks Spanish, Slack
54:27speaks Chinese. So if you want Claude to
54:29talk to to Gmail to like get it to do
54:31things, it was required a lot of custom
54:34development. It required time and effort
54:36because Claude had to learn
54:37>> heavy, slow, expensive, everything.
54:39>> French.
54:39>> Yep. And shout out Ross Mike. This is
54:41explanations from him. He was on like
54:43some part I heard him. So this is taken
54:45directly from him. This is what landed
54:46like really nicely in my brain. MCPS are
54:48just like this translator that sits in
54:51the middle between Claude and your and
54:52your tools. So Claude does not need to
54:54learn French and Spanish and Chinese. It
54:57just has this little translator in the
54:59middle. So it just makes calls and then
55:01it can be relayed really really nicely
55:02to the tools. This is an
55:03oversimplification but quite frankly
55:05like no one really needs to know what
55:07happens here. All you need to understand
55:08is the MCPs are just your way to connect
55:11tools into your agent.
55:12>> Uniformity, simplicity, and that just
55:14streamlines everything for speed as
55:16well.
55:16>> Same way you can think of it like an
55:18API, right? For those of you who know
55:19what an API is, like it's just a way for
55:21tools to talk to each other.
55:23>> And again, that's an oversimplification
55:25of explaining MCPS and connectors. And I
55:27think the big thing to take out of this
55:28episode is the ability that you can ask
55:30the LLM like, oh, how do I set up
55:33connectors and how I do it? And I don't
55:35want to encourage people to be lazy, but
55:36you want to just quickly just show over
55:38the screen of just where you go into
55:39Claude to do it because it's very very
55:41simple.
55:41>> It's so simple. So the way like if we
55:43open the Claude desktop app
55:45>> and we go into customize, you can see
55:47straight away connectors.
55:48>> Boom.
55:49>> And we have like we go up here to
55:51browse.
55:53There is so many connectors here. Like
55:55pretty much all of the major tools that
55:57you would use have a connection here.
55:59And it's as simple as this, right? So
56:01let's just say we want to connect up
56:03ClickUp. So I can literally just go
56:05ahead and go plus and then I'll just
56:08oneclick login to my ClickUp.
56:12>> Guys, for context, we are power users of
56:14ClickUp. That is the harness the project
56:16management tool that we use that creates
56:19all the workflows, all the dependencies.
56:22>> So we can go in here. Literally, I've
56:24selected my workspace connect
56:27open claude. It's connected. We go back
56:29to the desktop connected to ClickUp. And
56:30you can see here like we've got all of
56:32these different things that we can do in
56:33ClickUp. Create tasks, create lists.
56:36Claude can now pull information from
56:37ClickUp if you're planning like
56:39marketing campaigns. It can update it.
56:41And we've got all these like by default
56:43set to needs approval. So it's always
56:44going to ask you before it takes
56:45actions. But as you start to build up
56:47trust with Claude and like
56:48>> you know you you get more comfortable
56:50with allowing it to have more access.
56:51You can just do always allow. Like all
56:53my tools I just have always allow pretty
56:54much. But in Claude like that's as
56:57simple as it is to connect these. But
56:59that is using MCP by the way. So you
57:02don't really have to deal with any of
57:03the technical [ __ ] But that when you
57:05click the plus and log in that is it's
57:07it's got an MCP server basically. That's
57:09what it's using.
57:10>> It's crazy that you say that like you're
57:12picking vendors based on if they have an
57:13MCP or not. It's literally like 5 to
57:1510x. We're going to dive deeper on a
57:17specific use case onto how much more
57:19granular and strategic and faster and
57:21optimized it is with this.
57:23>> Yeah. I mean, it begs the question of
57:25just like,
57:27are a couple LLMs going to win and then
57:29just the world is just going to be a ton
57:30of MCPS and connectors into it?
57:32>> Like, if you're building a software
57:33product, it's like I I had a buddy come
57:36to me and he's like, "Yo, I'm building
57:37this like travel agent like AI agent
57:40that helps people like plan their trips
57:42and he's got this like nice website
57:43where people log on and you you say,
57:45"Okay, I'm going to New York for 10
57:46days. Like, help me do this." And like
57:48has an agent that plans your trip. Like
57:51I I said to him, I'm like, I I don't
57:53think that's the right way you should be
57:54building products for the future. I'm
57:56like, you'd be better off building this
57:58travel agent as an MCP that you then get
58:02hooked up into Claude and then now
58:04people who use Claude can now have you
58:07show up as a connector here, click plus,
58:10your, you know, travel AI and then add
58:13your product as an MCP and then now you
58:15build a purposebuilt MCP for Claude that
58:18helps that makes Claude be able to plan
58:20your trips better that helps Claude like
58:23gives it some extra tools it needs like
58:24it can search, you know, like Sky
58:26Scanner and some other websites a bit
58:28easier.
58:28>> Yeah. I mean, I feel like Yeah. I feel
58:30like the future is like as opposed to
58:31offering like a hundred things, it's
58:33like be really really dialed on 10 20
58:35things, then it becomes almost like an
58:36external data play in conjunction with
58:39that vertical.
58:40>> Yeah.
58:40>> Like,
58:40>> yeah,
58:41>> be really really smart and understand
58:43and know less things and just feed it
58:45>> into Claude. I completely agree. We talk
58:47all the time about like mid-market B2B
58:49SAS is absolutely smashed. like some of
58:51these companies that got sold like I
58:53don't even want to call some of them out
58:54but like basically what I was doing on
58:57>> these SAS tools
58:59>> I'm literally just doing it inside
59:01Claude right now.
59:02>> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I mean like
59:05>> Yeah. The the the SAS market is just
59:07getting absolutely decimated. And I
59:08think another thing is like a lot of
59:10these software is built on like
59:11headcount. Like they're built on like
59:12seats in the software and now it's like
59:14you just people are like reducing
59:16headcount. They got agents in there and
59:17like they can't bill for like agents.
59:20That's bad. Yeah. So, you mentioned kind
Security and permissions
59:22of the always allow or kind of ask
59:24first. Like that begs to ask the
59:26question of like security. A lot of
59:28people are very concerned about like
59:30connecting a lot of this stuff. Like
59:31what's your just overall thesis on how
59:32people should approach security?
59:35>> You know,
59:37you just have to weigh up the trade-off.
59:40And for me, it's like, yeah, there's a
59:42risk of things going wrong. Like maybe
59:44sending an email to someone who it
59:45shouldn't without my approval. Of
59:47course, there's a risk, but it's like
59:50I've I've weighed up carefully like that
59:52risk compared to these productivity
59:54gains that I'm making. And to me, it's
59:55worth it. And I guess you just have to
59:56do that in your own head. But like
59:58there, of course, there's so many edge
59:59cases with this. It's like you hear like
1:00:01horror stories about agents doing things
1:00:03for people. And it's like you hear the
1:00:04same thing about people getting hacked
1:00:05on the internet. It's like just cuz
1:00:07someone got hacked or you've been hacked
1:00:08before doesn't mean you're not like
1:00:10going to stop using the internet, you
1:00:11know?
1:00:11>> Yeah, definitely edge cases. And I think
1:00:13like the last line is like data is one
1:00:16thing. I think like connecting your
1:00:18something that has like your credit card
1:00:19and it could like go buy things. I feel
1:00:21like that is kind of the last line of
1:00:22defense, but like
1:00:24>> you could just do like for a bunch of
1:00:25things like draft only or take it to the
1:00:28finish line and don't click the button
1:00:29at the end.
1:00:30>> Yeah. So I would say like if you're
1:00:31really like conscious about it like give
1:00:34it these tools but give it what's called
1:00:36a readon access. So it can't do actions
1:00:38it can just read the data. For example,
1:00:39read emails but it can't send anything.
1:00:41And that's just a nice way to start out
1:00:43and then you can like increase the
1:00:44permissions as you start to like feel
1:00:46more trustworthy. I give Claude full
1:00:48access to everything. Stripe everything.
1:00:50It's it's got full access. I'm
1:00:52comfortable doing that and it's a risk
1:00:53I'm willing to take on. I've been in
1:00:54power using it for like 8 months and
1:00:56I've never had any issues. Some of those
1:00:58other harnesses like Open Claw and like
1:01:01Hermes and stuff, they are built in a
1:01:03way where the agents like not going to
1:01:05ask you for permission as much. The way
1:01:07that like these big companies like
1:01:09Anthropic and and and OpenAI have built
1:01:11like Codeex and CL code. The models are
1:01:13very good at asking you for permission
1:01:14for stuff. Like pretty much anytime
1:01:16sometimes it gets annoying for me. It's
1:01:17like I'm trying to get it to answer
1:01:19emails, but it'll ask me for permission.
1:01:20Hey, should I send this? I'm like, yeah,
1:01:21send it. Like I've given you
1:01:23>> like allow access, allow access, allow
1:01:25access all the time. Yeah.
1:01:26>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So, I
1:01:28I've never had any issues personally,
1:01:29but it's just something you have to
1:01:30weigh up. I mean, like there's two sides
1:01:32with the security question. There's like
1:01:34obviously giving it your tools and then
1:01:36it going and like taking actions. That's
1:01:39that's probably my least cons like my my
1:01:41least concern is it taking actions on my
1:01:43tools cuz that's like not that big of a
1:01:45deal. The other security side of things
1:01:47is like the models and like putting
1:01:49sensitive data through it. And this is
1:01:50like a big thing and like a big problem
1:01:52I'm trying to like solve with working
1:01:53with some of these large like enterprise
1:01:54companies is it's like some of them have
1:01:56like literally said like we don't want
1:01:58any personal information company IP
1:02:00running through a clawed model because
1:02:02they're not convinced that like the claw
1:02:05stealing their data.
1:02:06>> Yeah. So that I mean that's a whole
1:02:08whole another question but for like the
1:02:09personal level just like getting the
1:02:11tools connected and getting it to start
1:02:12doing things for you.
1:02:13>> Yeah. just start with read only access
1:02:16if you don't feel comfortable and then
1:02:17you can escalate it up as you go.
Starter tool stack, Apify to Composio
1:02:19>> Nice. Um let's talk about a couple of
1:02:21the tools that are like musthaves for
1:02:23you on your side. I want to share some
1:02:25of the stuff on our side as well too.
1:02:26>> 100%. So if we think back to like our
1:02:29little agent loop of observe, think act.
1:02:31We've tuned up that observe step with
1:02:34context and now we're going to tune up
1:02:35the act step. Right? These are like the
1:02:38top six things I reckon that everyone
1:02:40should have connected up to their agent
1:02:42or claude, whatever you're using. First
1:02:44one is Appify. So Appify is essentially
1:02:47a library of online scrapers and these
1:02:50are like scrapers that people have
1:02:52built. Let me just go into here.
1:02:53>> So it's almost like a third party like
1:02:55sub agent that helps you scraping.
1:02:57>> Yeah, exactly. So it's like a
1:02:59marketplace. There's thousands of
1:03:00different scrapers you can use here. Oh
1:03:01wow. So you see on Ampify, right, we've
1:03:04got Instagram profile scraper, YouTube
1:03:06transcript scraper, Reddit post scraper.
1:03:08>> Wow. This eliminates like some people
1:03:09are using like Grock as an LLM under the
1:03:12notion that it could scrape Twitter/X,
1:03:14but now you can use Aify.
1:03:16>> Exactly. We've got LinkedIn post
1:03:18scraper, Google Map Scraper. There's
1:03:21like Craigslist scrapers. You can get
1:03:23like get lead scrapers, email scrapers.
1:03:25>> These are all individual MCPS.
1:03:27>> No. Oh, it's just a
1:03:30>> and can use what the check. [ __ ] I
1:03:33never heard of this one. Is it? It is.
1:03:35Everyone needs it. Like literally
1:03:37there's there's almost nothing that
1:03:38Claude like can't scrape off the
1:03:39internet for you with Ampify connected.
1:03:41>> Damn.
1:03:42>> So, this is one that no matter what
1:03:43tools you use, everyone I think needs
1:03:44this. They've got a pretty generous free
1:03:47plan. It's like a five Yeah, like $5 a
1:03:50month worth of usage.
1:03:52>> Yeah, we're going to throw another zero
1:03:53too behind that. This is crazy. Holy
1:03:55[ __ ] So, Ampify, everyone needs to have
1:03:58that one set up. The next one is Fire
1:04:01Crawl. So, by default, like pretty much
1:04:02all these agent harnesses as part of the
1:04:04axe step, one of the tools they all have
1:04:06baked in is a web search.
1:04:07>> But this is super like simple and
1:04:09primitive. It's like if you were to ask
1:04:10the agent like, "What's the price of
1:04:11Bitcoin right now?" It can just web
1:04:13search and get the price. It's like more
1:04:14information gathering.
1:04:17when it comes to like things like, "Hey,
1:04:19scrape the branding for this website or
1:04:22like go look at this website and tell me
1:04:24like why they're or like do a CRO audit
1:04:27of my website."
1:04:28>> Less subjective, more subjective, more
1:04:30like context strategy type stuff. Not
1:04:32like what's the this is the question.
1:04:33This is the answer. It's more
1:04:35>> No, no. I I would actually say it's it's
1:04:36more that like the web search it can't
1:04:39look at the website. It can't actually
1:04:41like Does that make sense? We
1:04:43>> can't extract raw data almost.
1:04:45>> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Like web search is
1:04:46just to like find like facts off the
1:04:48internet.
1:04:49>> Yeah.
1:04:49>> Whereas fire crawl allows it allows it
1:04:52to actually like read the page not just
1:04:55search it like look at the page. So it
1:04:56can extract like it can tell what the
1:04:58branding colors are. You could say like
1:05:00do a CRO a order of the page and then it
1:05:03can use firecrol.
1:05:04>> That's the first thing my brain went to
1:05:05from a CRO and merchandising perspective
1:05:06from an e-com store. That probably is
1:05:08big.
1:05:08>> Yeah. Exactly. So, you know, if you if
1:05:10you said if if you if you didn't give
1:05:11Claude Firecrol and it just had default
1:05:14web search and you're like, "Here's my
1:05:15ecom store. Like, run a CR order." It
1:05:17can't it can't see the store. It can
1:05:20just like maybe like search some
1:05:21information about your website, like
1:05:24what you sell or like a little about
1:05:25section.
1:05:27With with with Firecrol, it can actually
1:05:29like look at your page, scrape the
1:05:31entire thing. It can see like what
1:05:32buttons you have and where, and like,
1:05:34you know, it could see like, you know,
1:05:36your buttons are the same color as the
1:05:37background. like first fix, make the
1:05:39buttons like brighter. So like stuff
1:05:41like that, it can give Claude like the
1:05:43ability to actually like scrape websites
1:05:45properly and across across the default
1:05:47web search, fire crawl, and amplifier.
1:05:48There's like pretty much nothing that
1:05:49Claude like can't do for me across the
1:05:52internet.
1:05:52>> And this is just mitigating the back and
1:05:54forth of just bottlenecks. It's just
1:05:55getting you more and more and more
1:05:56context.
1:05:57>> Yeah. Yep. And it's less it's less um
1:05:59human in the loop steps, right? Like if
1:06:00you didn't have ampify or fire
1:06:02connected, it used ampify before when we
1:06:05did the scrape my Instagram account
1:06:06example. Damn.
1:06:07>> So, like if I didn't have appy
1:06:09connected, it probably would have said
1:06:10like I can't connect to Instagram. Like,
1:06:12can you send me the videos or something?
1:06:14>> Context for people out there listening
1:06:15too, like you don't have to say
1:06:16anything. This is embedded in the brain
1:06:18on the LLM platform.
1:06:20>> Yeah. Yeah.
1:06:21>> Damn.
1:06:21>> You can think of like you can think of
1:06:23our um really capable employee that
1:06:26we've just hired. You can think of him
1:06:27as he's got his desk, right?
1:06:29>> Yeah. and he's got next to him, he's got
1:06:32a bookshelf full of skills which we're
1:06:33going to get to, but he's also like got
1:06:35the tools like laying around like he
1:06:37might have like uh, you know, he's got
1:06:38his computer. He can see like he's
1:06:41almost got this up, right? If we go
1:06:43applications,
1:06:45you can imagine that our ultra capable
1:06:46employee has this screen up, right? So,
1:06:49anytime we give him a task, he doesn't
1:06:50you don't need to tell him go use
1:06:51Ampify. It's like if you tell him, "Yo,
1:06:53scrape this brand's Instagram page and
1:06:56give me the top best performing videos."
1:06:58>> He's going to just pick the right.
1:06:59>> Yeah. He's just going to look at his
1:07:00apps. Okay, cool. Like, I should
1:07:01probably use Appify. And then he's just
1:07:03going to go use it. So, you don't need
1:07:04to actually specify it.
1:07:06The next one is Composeio. Now, this is
1:07:08like some absolute source I'm going to
1:07:10put you on, right? Some quick backstory
1:07:12about how I found out about this
1:07:14wonderful tool. I had everything like
1:07:16baked into Claude. I had all my
1:07:18connectors built into Claude like I
1:07:19showed you before and Claude went down
1:07:22for an hour the other week. Like the
1:07:23servers were down and I had like so much
1:07:25work to do. I'm like, "Oh my god, I I
1:07:27and I and I can't work without Claude
1:07:28now." So I had to open up like Catgt's
1:07:32codeex to like work in there. But and
1:07:34and the way that my folders set up, you
1:07:36know, we went back to the demo folder
1:07:38before. I've got like this OS folder
1:07:40stands for operating system where I work
1:07:42out of which I'm going to show you guys
1:07:43after this. So the way that that's built
1:07:47is I own all the context files. I own
1:07:49all the skills. They're not embedded in
1:07:51claude. I can open that folder up in
1:07:52codeex and keep working, right? That
1:07:54that part was fine. The issue that I
1:07:57found was I had like 50 different tools
1:07:59connected to claude. And then I started
1:08:01to get to Codex to work and it like
1:08:04didn't have any of my tools. So I
1:08:06started to go through and add in like
1:08:07all these tools and and I was like there
1:08:09must be a better way. That's how I came
1:08:11across Composio. So what Composeio does
1:08:13is we can open this up. You can see
1:08:15connect apps. They have way more than
1:08:18than the Claude desktop app. They have
1:08:20thousands of tools that you can connect.
1:08:23Same way with Claude, like I showed you.
1:08:24It's one click login. You click connect,
1:08:26sign in. They've got everything under
1:08:28the sun here. And then
1:08:29>> is this like an MCP for MCPS?
1:08:31>> Yeah, it's like an M. Yeah,
1:08:33>> it's like an MCP. It's like a bridge
1:08:34basically.
1:08:35>> Yeah. Yeah. So I will connect all my
1:08:38tools in. And another thing, another
1:08:40thing is in the Claude desktop app, you
1:08:41can connect Gmail, right? And log in and
1:08:44you've got Gmail connected. But if
1:08:45you've got three Gmail accounts, you
1:08:46can't connect all three in Claude. Pain
1:08:49in the ass. And which most people have
1:08:51like multiple email accounts. So in
1:08:52here, you can see I've got three active
1:08:54Gmail connections. That was another
1:08:55thing that I liked about it.
1:08:56>> So in short, you're basically saying
1:08:57that connect all of your MCPs to
1:09:00Composeio and then if you're in aio
1:09:02>> and then you and then Composio is like
1:09:04that single MCP with all the MCPS
1:09:06underneath it.
1:09:06>> Damn. So you can see here in in Claude
1:09:09in connectors Composeio. This one won't
1:09:11show up as a browse connector. You'll
1:09:12have to click add custom and then add
1:09:13the URL which I'll show you how to do
1:09:15later.
1:09:17>> And
1:09:18yeah, we can see I've just got
1:09:20Composeio. So I could like theoretically
1:09:22just have that. I don't need the others.
1:09:24You can even connect the other ones I'm
1:09:25talking about ampify and firecrawl. You
1:09:27can connect them through composio.
1:09:29So
1:09:30>> damn
1:09:32>> composio that means like for my setup
1:09:35trying to like be you know robust and
1:09:37protect myself against like platforms
1:09:39going
1:09:39>> you need to go to your bunker in
1:09:41Argentina cuz the world is crumbling you
1:09:43can just you can just hit up composio
1:09:44and just bring all your [ __ ]
1:09:46>> the MD files the skills of composio
1:09:48>> [ __ ] so when I in future now if I want
1:09:51to work in codeex I don't have to
1:09:52connect all these tools again I just
1:09:53have composio and then if I want to try
1:09:55out let's just say like complexity
1:09:57computers is another one I haven't
1:09:58really used it much just another car,
1:10:00another different flavor of the same
1:10:01thing.
1:10:02>> But if I decided I wanted to use that, I
1:10:04could just I'll just compose it to there
1:10:06one time. Yeah. And then it's
1:10:07everything's hooked in. So for everybody
1:10:09out there listening, I want to really
1:10:11really stop and think like where my
1:10:14brain used to go and this is the problem
1:10:15that I used to have with my team. It's
1:10:17like, okay, I've never been on codeex.
1:10:20So if Claude went down, I'd have to go
1:10:22elsewhere. Like I don't even know if
1:10:24it's as simple as just clicking the
1:10:25connector to get Composeio, but you
1:10:27could literally just go into chat GBT
1:10:29and just say, "How do I connect
1:10:31Composio?" And I think everyone just
1:10:33needs to understand that all the
1:10:35answers,
1:10:36>> yeah,
1:10:36>> all these in between the lines answers
1:10:38are literally in the LMS. You just tell
1:10:40them this is what I need done and they
1:10:41can do it for you.
1:10:42>> That's how I learned all this.
1:10:43>> Yeah.
1:10:44>> Like the only like all this stuff I'm
1:10:45sharing with you today, I just it's
1:10:47pretty much all learned from asking
1:10:48Claude.
1:10:48>> Yeah. People need to go through the
1:10:50exercise of like if you're not a
1:10:52technical person and you'd have to bug
1:10:54somebody on your team to do something
1:10:56small for you,
1:10:57>> force yourself to not bug them. And what
1:11:00may take you or them a minute, two
1:11:02minutes,
1:11:03>> yeah,
1:11:03>> it'll take you 5 minutes, 7 minutes, 10
1:11:05minutes if you're not that technical,
1:11:06but you will get to the answer. So, it's
1:11:08more just like
1:11:10>> figuring this [ __ ] out by yourself is
1:11:11huge.
1:11:12>> It's just like, yeah, massive unlock to
1:11:13get in the habit of just asking Claude
1:11:15any stuff. It's like, how do I do this?
1:11:16Like just just ask what it will tell
1:11:19you.
1:11:19>> 100%.
1:11:20>> And if you start following the steps and
1:11:21get stuck and you just screenshot this
1:11:23error, paste it and call it. Yo, hit
1:11:25this. Like what do I do? Like
1:11:26>> that is a what you just said right there
1:11:28is a bar on its own. That's a cheat code
1:11:30on its own. It's just doing that. It's
1:11:31just screenshot. This is where I'm at.
1:11:33Can't get past it. What do I do?
1:11:34>> Let's keep going. So these Chrome Dev
1:11:36Tools.
1:11:37>> So the next one's Chrome Dev Tools. So
1:11:39this is a an MCP built by Google Chrome.
1:11:42Maybe we can connect that through
1:11:43Composer. I don't know. I haven't tried.
1:11:44But essentially what this does is it
1:11:46allows Claude to spin up its own browser
1:11:49if that makes sense. So like I use this
1:11:50a lot if you're building like websites
1:11:52or apps and Claude like wants to check
1:11:54its own work cuz you know you might say
1:11:56like build a website you know these
1:11:58colors make it look nice the brand
1:12:00guidelines it might build it and send it
1:12:02to you and it's just like wrong. It's
1:12:04not at all like what you wanted. Chrome
1:12:06Dev Tools is like one I use that allows
1:12:08Claude to like be able to check its own
1:12:09work in a sense. Like it can spin up a
1:12:11browser and look at the website it's
1:12:12built and go, "Oh no, that's not good.
1:12:14I'll keep working on that."
1:12:15>> As opposed to like in platform or a PDF
1:12:17file. It's like an actual browser.
1:12:18>> Yeah. It's like an actual browser. Yeah.
1:12:20And like another thing that I use it for
1:12:21is I don't know another example the
1:12:23other day I saw on X someone was putting
1:12:25together like a register for like
1:12:26founders in Australia like almost like a
1:12:28a phone book of of founders in Oz. And I
1:12:32clicked I was like this is cool. I'll
1:12:33sign up. And then it was like a, you
1:12:35know, bunch of questions and it was
1:12:37going to take me like probably 20
1:12:38minutes to sit there and answer them
1:12:39all. So I just like got the link, pasted
1:12:42it into court. I'm like, yo, can you
1:12:44apply to this website for me? And I just
1:12:45kept doing other work. And then because
1:12:47it has all the context about me, it knew
1:12:48exactly how to answer all the questions
1:12:50perfectly and in my voice and but like
1:12:53without Chrome DevTools, it couldn't
1:12:54have had a browser to like go and
1:12:55actually enter it in. Little bit
1:12:57different to firecore. Firecol is like
1:12:58more scraping, but this is actually like
1:12:59it can take actions on a browser. So,
1:13:02Chrome DevTools is a great one to get
1:13:04set up. These are pretty much all free,
1:13:05by the way. Another one is Playriter.
1:13:08This is one I use. Same vibe as Chrome
1:13:10DevTools. It's just another browser for
1:13:11Claude to use. Chrome DevTools spins up
1:13:13a fresh browser. So, it doesn't have any
1:13:14of your sites logged in, right? So, if
1:13:16you ask Claude like go send 100 LinkedIn
1:13:18connections to this list and it's just
1:13:21got Chrome DevTools. It'll pop up the
1:13:22browser and it'll be like LinkedIn login
1:13:24and it'll just get stuck.
1:13:25>> Whereas, and you might log in on that
1:13:28browser. Yeah. But then in a week's time
1:13:30if you go to do the task it spins up a
1:13:32new browser again it doesn't have the
1:13:33login saved. So playrider just allows it
1:13:35to control your current browser
1:13:38>> and that like hypothetically like that
1:13:40could automate like one password with
1:13:42filling in the passwords advanced fields
1:13:43for like your address where you want to
1:13:45ship it to stuff like that
1:13:46>> on on one password real quick. That's
1:13:47another one I've connected one password
1:13:49to claude. So
1:13:50>> risky business bro.
1:13:51>> Yeah
1:13:51>> that's a risky one.
1:13:52>> Yeah it is.
1:13:53>> I don't recommend that for people out
1:13:54there. That's that's like the last
1:13:55that's the last level.
1:13:56>> Yeah. What happens though when it's on
1:13:57my computer and it's like getting a
1:14:00password, it pops up with the Touch ID
1:14:02and I have to like approve it with my
1:14:03finger. So
1:14:05>> I stand corrected. I like that.
1:14:06>> Yeah. Yeah. That that's kind of cool. I
1:14:08feel like Iron Man or something.
1:14:09>> Someone might come for you and drop off
1:14:10your finger. [laughter] That's a
1:14:11different story. Higfield's the chosen
1:14:12one.
1:14:12>> Higsfield's the last one. So Higfield is
1:14:14just like,
1:14:15>> dude, they're they're dominating.
1:14:17They're crushing the AI content space.
1:14:19Like they like
1:14:21>> their playbook is just like I don't
1:14:22know. It needs to be studied. like they
1:14:24they've just done an incredible job with
1:14:26like influencer marketing and like just
1:14:28they've made themselves at the name as
1:14:30the top place to go for like AI content
1:14:33like images and video.
1:14:34>> Y
1:14:35>> so you know
1:14:36>> and that at its simplest form guys is
1:14:38you just prompt it and it creates images
1:14:39and videos for you like at its simplest
1:14:41form.
1:14:42>> So that's a great tool in itself. Like I
1:14:43I have some buddies that like live in
1:14:45there and make some like insane AI
1:14:48content like UGC videos and static ads
1:14:50and stuff but by default Claude does not
1:14:53have a way to generate images. So like
1:14:55Chad GBT does they've got an image model
1:14:57whereas Claude doesn't. So this is
1:14:59especially one that's useful for Claude.
1:15:01I mean even CHBT doesn't have video
1:15:03generation whereas Higsfield is
1:15:04basically like the composio but for
1:15:07image models. So it basically pulls in
1:15:10Google's top models, CHBT's top models,
1:15:12like all the Chinese ones that are
1:15:13getting cracked as like it pulls them
1:15:15all in and allows you to just access
1:15:16them through one MCP with Claude. So to
1:15:18show you the Higsfield MCP in action,
1:15:20this is just a demo. I don't I don't
1:15:21work with Bloom at all. Shout out Greg.
1:15:23He's
1:15:23>> shout out Uncle Greg. Great episode. I
1:15:24don't know if it's going to be it should
1:15:26probably be the episode before this.
1:15:27Absolute legend.
1:15:28>> Yeah, I had the pleasure of meeting him.
1:15:29He's a great dude.
1:15:30>> Great.
1:15:31>> So Bloom Creing Gummies. I just gave it
1:15:33a product image and it's like yo scrape
1:15:35competitors ads running in the meta ads
1:15:37library and generate 20 static image ads
1:15:39using the Higsfield MCP and then it used
1:15:41firecrol to scrape the meta ads library
1:15:44and then it's connected to meta as well.
1:15:46This is like an official connector that
1:15:48Met have released so you can get your
1:15:49agents to like do ads. Another great one
1:15:50I recommend. But the Higsfield one,
1:15:52right? You can see it's gone through and
1:15:55it started like generating static ads
1:15:57with Higsfield. And like these are these
1:15:59are pretty good. I mean some of them
1:16:03it's always going to be the case with
1:16:04ads like it's you have to generate like
1:16:06a hundred and there'll be like maybe
1:16:07five to 10 really good ones. So you can
1:16:09see here it's like it's done a bunch of
1:16:10different static ads and like the as a
1:16:13as an ads background. I would run like
1:16:16that's a that's a that's a cool one. I
1:16:18mean the the gummies don't look perfect,
1:16:20but we could just have added an image of
1:16:22the actual gummies and then it would
1:16:23have nailed it perfectly. The like
1:16:26that's a great ad. The product's a
1:16:27little squished. That's a that's a
1:16:29[ __ ] phenomenal ad. That's a great ad
1:16:32too. Creatine for the girls. Like you
1:16:33can see here, it's it can actually like
1:16:34use this MCP to like start creating
1:16:36static ads. And um this is just off a
1:16:39really basic prompt, but if I was trying
1:16:42to like automate as much of the ads
1:16:44process as possible, I'd build a bunch
1:16:46of skills around like static ads and
1:16:47like headline writing and copywriting
1:16:49and stuff, which we'll dive on soon. But
1:16:51that's just to show you like the
1:16:52Higsfield MCP and like some some use
1:16:55cases.

1:18:20All right, guys. All right, so we gave
Skills as SOPs for your AI
1:18:21you guys those six core tools that you
1:18:23need and then obviously some MCPs that
1:18:25we both like individually and as a
1:18:27company. Let's transition into skills.
1:18:30That's for the newbies out there. Just
1:18:33to retouch on it, it's basically SOPs
1:18:35for for AI. Yeah.
1:18:37>> Why don't you just dive into
1:18:39the playbook on how to utilize skills?
1:18:41>> All right, let's do it. So, I would say
1:18:44skills is probably like the one of the
1:18:46most important things to master with all
1:18:47these agents. So where we're at now is
1:18:49we've got our like really capable new
1:18:51employee and we've, you know, given him
1:18:53all the context. He knows everything
1:18:54about us in the business. Now we've
1:18:55given him tools so we can do work. He's
1:18:57already now going to be great. You can
1:18:59now start giving him work. He's going to
1:19:00do an amazing job. But we want to be
1:19:02able to train him on our processes and
1:19:05the way that we do things. So an example
1:19:08of skills, they're literally just you
1:19:10can think of them as SOPs for AI. The
1:19:12same way if you had a VA that was
1:19:14helping you with like customer support
1:19:16for example, you would probably have a a
1:19:17Google doc built out where it's like
1:19:19customer support triage workflow. Step
1:19:22one, log into monday.com. Step two,
1:19:25navigate to this section in Monday. Step
1:19:27three, find tickets. Do you know, you
1:19:30would outline it really really like like
1:19:32simply to a VA like so it's literally
1:19:34foolproof so they couldn't screw it up.
1:19:36We're literally just taking exactly that
1:19:38but giving it to an agent. And instead
1:19:39of a Google doc, it's just a markdown
1:19:41file. And to illustrate like the problem
1:19:44that skills solve and how useful skills
1:19:46can be, I'm just going to give a simple
1:19:48example. So, let's just say you need a
1:19:50proposal written and you've got your
1:19:53tools and and and context all set up and
1:19:54you start a new session and you're like,
1:19:56"All right, create a proposal for this
1:19:58new client. Like, here's the price,
1:19:59here's the offer, blah blah blah blah.
1:20:01Send it off." it will give you back like
1:20:03a PDF and like very rare it's going to
1:20:06oneshot it exactly how you want. You're
1:20:07probably going to have to go back and
1:20:08say like I don't like how you put the
1:20:09price at the top should be at the bottom
1:20:11instead. Like the logo looks a bit funky
1:20:13like put it in the top left. Like change
1:20:15the colors of the text from blue to
1:20:17black.
1:20:17>> This is the V1 world of chat. Just back
1:20:19and forth, back and forth, back and
1:20:20forth.
1:20:20>> Yeah, this is still like well no this is
1:20:21using agents still. Like you've still
1:20:23got agents like I mean this applies to
1:20:24chat too but but I'm talking about like
1:20:26an agent here. Like let's say you're in
1:20:28code or co-work or getting it to make
1:20:30this proposal. You have to just explain
1:20:32your preferences, right? And eventually,
1:20:34maybe after 15, 20 minutes of back and
1:20:36forth, you're going to it's going to
1:20:37deliver this proposal that you're happy
1:20:39with, right? Great. You had the proposal
1:20:41written, but what happens in a week's
1:20:43time when you want to create another
1:20:44proposal for another client, and you
1:20:48start a new session, and you're like,
1:20:50"All right, create a proposal for this
1:20:51client." Now, it's it's not going to
1:20:53remember any of those preferences. I
1:20:55mean, you you could have it save it to
1:20:57that memory.mmd like we did earlier, but
1:20:59it's it's not the right place for it.
1:21:02You're you're you'd be you'd be making a
1:21:04deacto skill. The the best place to have
1:21:06that is in a skill.
1:21:07>> So, if you if you're starting a fresh
1:21:10chat and said to create the proposal, it
1:21:12wouldn't like remember any of those
1:21:13preferences and you're just going to
1:21:14like not you're going have to go through
1:21:16that whole process of explaining
1:21:17everything over again, which is just a
1:21:18pain in the ass. Whereas with skills,
1:21:21you would tell Claude, you know, save
1:21:23this proposal as like a skill. Save this
1:21:26process that we've just been through as
1:21:27a skill so I can use it again in the
1:21:29future. And Claude would build a
1:21:31proposal skill and it would save
1:21:33everything that that had just done. It
1:21:35would save like all your corrections. It
1:21:37would save like it would probably save
1:21:39the end result as a PDF into the skill
1:21:41as well as like a reference for it to
1:21:43look at. And then it packages that up
1:21:45nicely into into this like skill folder
1:21:48and saves it. So now anytime in the
1:21:50future if you ask it to create you a
1:21:52proposal, it's just going to like whip
1:21:54up this SOP that it's written for
1:21:55itself. Literally a markdown file of
1:21:57step-by-step guide and then it will just
1:21:59follow it to a tea. And then you can
1:22:01basically just set like train your AI
1:22:04agent on exactly how you like things
1:22:06done and exact processes.
1:22:08>> So duplicatable. And I think anybody
1:22:10that's advanced, I mean, how many skills
1:22:12do you have? I would imagine an insane
1:22:14amount. Yeah, we have a lot.
1:22:16>> Yeah. Yeah, I've got a lot.
1:22:18>> As far as this goes, like a very very
1:22:19easy example and we're going to dive
1:22:21into the different ways in which you can
1:22:23execute against this. Like
1:22:24>> we're going to build a live skill.
1:22:25>> Yeah, we're going to build a live skill
1:22:26guys. Like even just think like social
1:22:27media captions, you know, from a
1:22:29formatting perspective. You can say
1:22:31hook, body, CTA, tone of voice. You
1:22:34know, I like to not be, you know, so
1:22:37professional.
1:22:37>> Those hashtags out of there.
1:22:38>> Get the hashtags out of there. And then
1:22:40an example output you have as well too
1:22:42is just like yeah these are you know 10
1:22:44different examples of what it looks
1:22:45like. And I think like the key thing to
1:22:47take out of this is is repeatability as
1:22:50well. Like you execute it and nail it
1:22:52one time
1:22:53>> y
1:22:54>> and then you're done.
1:22:55>> Yeah. Pretty much. And the way you can
1:22:56like think of of how our really capable
1:23:00employee uses skills is you know I was
1:23:03talking about before he's got his desk
1:23:04and his computer. You see his apps and
1:23:05stuff and he's got this bookshelf next
1:23:07to him of SOPs essentially. and the
1:23:11anatomy of a skill. Let me actually open
1:23:12one up. I'm going to pop one open and
1:23:13show you what it looks like. So, if I go
1:23:15into like my OS folder, which is like my
1:23:18folder that I do all my aentic work in,
1:23:21I have this hidden folder called Claude.
1:23:24Don't let this scare you. This is just
1:23:26like literally a Think of this as like
1:23:28Claude's settings within that project.
1:23:31We can just open this up and we've got
1:23:34this folder called skills with all my
1:23:35skills that live in there.
1:23:37And I can go into, for example, like
1:23:40YouTube titles is a skill I've built,
1:23:43right? And we can actually open this up
1:23:45as a folder. So, so this is the skill in
1:23:47its entirety. It's a folder. And we open
1:23:49that up. And what's inside the folder?
1:23:51We've got a skill.md file. And this is
1:23:54literally remember like MD is just a
1:23:56markdown file. It's literally just a
1:24:00straight markdown file with my YouTube
1:24:02title process. And if we look at the
1:24:04anatomy of this skill, every skill is
1:24:06kind of broken into three parts. You've
1:24:08got the name, description, and then
1:24:11contents. So the name up the top is just
1:24:13YouTube titles. The description is
1:24:15generate YouTube title options for a
1:24:17video topic. Use when the user says
1:24:19generate titles, YouTube titles or title
1:24:21options for my video. So you can see
1:24:23like this is separated from the main
1:24:25content by those two little lines,
1:24:27right? And the way you can imagine this
1:24:29in your head is so you've got this
1:24:30bookshelf that your agent has a
1:24:31bookshelf next to it and the books are
1:24:34all like stacked in, right? And on the
1:24:37spine of the book is just the name and
1:24:38description of all the skills. So he's
1:24:40got like, you know, this full bookshelf.
1:24:42He would have like the YouTube titles
1:24:44with that description, maybe YouTube
1:24:45thumbnails along with my other hundred
1:24:47skills. And then when we ask Claude or
1:24:51our agent, yo, can you uh write some
1:24:54YouTube titles for this video? He's
1:24:56going to go look at his bookshelf and go
1:24:59titles. Read the description. Use when
1:25:01user says titles. That's probably the
1:25:02one. Pull it out. Then he'll read it.
1:25:04And then he'll load that con like all
1:25:07this content in. You got to think about
1:25:08that example where I was showing like
1:25:10the the bar chart how it fills up with
1:25:11context. And it's already like got a
1:25:13little bit loaded in each session, which
1:25:14is your your claw. MD and your other
1:25:16files. And then alongside that, he's got
1:25:20basically loaded in all the name and
1:25:22descriptions of every skill that you've
1:25:23got, which is like probably hundreds.
1:25:25and that sits in his like taking up a
1:25:29little bit of that of that context bar
1:25:30of all times.
1:25:32>> But it's not like if he if he loaded in
1:25:34the contents of every hundreds of skills
1:25:36>> that bar you wouldn't even be able to
1:25:37like give it a message and it'd be like
1:25:39100% full. So the way that skills work,
1:25:41it's called like progressive disclosure
1:25:43without getting too nerdy. And it's
1:25:44basically like each of the name and
1:25:46descriptions just get loaded in at the
1:25:48start of a new session. And then when
1:25:51the task like requires like you know
1:25:53YouTube titles and he sees the YouTube
1:25:55titles book then it'll open that up and
1:25:56then it will load the full skill
1:25:58contents into the session window.
1:26:00>> Yeah.
1:26:00>> Does that make sense?
1:26:01>> Yeah. And we're going to walk through
1:26:02that so people can kind of see it in
1:26:03action.
1:26:04>> If if we look at this title skill, you
1:26:07can see that it's literally an SOP like
1:26:11you would write for a VA. Hey, step one,
1:26:14look at this. Get the topic. Find the
1:26:16video topic.
1:26:18You know, if the user gives it to you,
1:26:20extract it from the the folder or file
1:26:22name. Step two, competitor research. Use
1:26:25Ampify. It's telling it to use that
1:26:27tool. Remember Ampify
1:26:29to scrape top performing videos on the
1:26:31same topic. Target channels. And it's
1:26:34given some ones that I've I wanted to to
1:26:36do. what to extract the video titles,
1:26:38the title length, the structure, use of
1:26:40numbers, capitalization patterns, and
1:26:43then it's telling it like how to use
1:26:45ampify. By by the way, I didn't write
1:26:47this skill. Claude will always build
1:26:48skills for you. But you can see like
1:26:50this is just to illustrate is literally
1:26:52just a document with step-by-step guides
1:26:54that you're giving to your employee. And
1:26:56then step four, generate the title
1:26:57options, categories, curiosity gap,
1:27:00benefit first, contrarian number. And
1:27:02this is the skills is where you package
1:27:03your IP up into like by default Claude
1:27:06is not going to write good. If you go a
1:27:08new session with Claude and you're like
1:27:09write me YouTube titles, it's going to
1:27:11suck. It's like the titles are going to
1:27:12be like so bad, so generic.
1:27:14>> Yeah,
1:27:14>> you I know you've tried it.
1:27:16>> I mean, dude, we're we've tried all of
1:27:17this stuff, too.
1:27:19>> And it's like
1:27:21you package like I've got a way that I
1:27:22like my titles written that's unique to
1:27:24me and how I think about titles and I'm
1:27:27putting that IP into this skill,
1:27:29teaching it how to think. And the same
1:27:31way like if you're let's say a media
1:27:33buyer, if you tell Claude like can you
1:27:35handle my Facebook ads for me? It's it's
1:27:38it's not going to know the pro
1:27:41>> your unique sauce. I mean, yeah,
1:27:42>> you know, we talked about it before like
1:27:44>> obviously there's taste and judgment and
1:27:46creativity that goes into kind of all
1:27:47these MD files and skills. Like
1:27:50>> enterprise value is going to live within
1:27:53like what these skills and MD files are.
1:27:56That's such a good probing question to
1:27:58kind of see how deep someone is in in
1:28:01this space is like what does that look
1:28:04like? Yeah. Been looking under the hood
1:28:07on our side. It's [ __ ] out of
1:28:09control. I can only imagine what yours
1:28:11is. So, let's just take a step back on
1:28:13the skills side of like what it actually
1:28:17looks like to make these skills, whether
1:28:20you're intentional about it or kind of
1:28:22your LLM kind of does it for you. What
1:28:24does that look like?
1:28:24>> Yeah. So let's let's run through that
1:28:26for creating skills. In my mind, there's
1:28:28two ways to go into it. There's goal
1:28:31first or process first. So the goal
1:28:34first way is to literally say up front,
1:28:36build me a brand guidelines skill and
1:28:38then here's the brand guidelines PDF and
1:28:40it'll go and build it for you. By the
1:28:42way, Claude has and pretty much all of
1:28:44these agent harnesses should come, most
1:28:47of them do, with a skill creator skill
1:28:49built in. So it's like skill seion.
1:28:51You've literally got a skill that has a
1:28:54step-by-step guide on how to create more
1:28:56skills. And that's like not one you need
1:28:58to download. It comes default. I know it
1:29:00does with Claude and most of the others
1:29:02as well. So, if you tell Claude like,
1:29:04"Hey, build me a skill for brand
1:29:06guidelines," he's going to look at his
1:29:08bookshelf and see the skill creator
1:29:09skill and like read it and then know
1:29:10what to do.
1:29:11>> Insane. So, in order to make like a
1:29:13brand guidelines skill, which is a great
1:29:14one to give your agents so they can have
1:29:16like a just a repeatable playbook on how
1:29:18you do branding for your, you know, lead
1:29:20magnets, PDFs, websites, whatever.
1:29:22Trying to build that the process first
1:29:23way doesn't make sense. And I'll just go
1:29:25straight into like what the process
1:29:26first way is. So, you've got goal first,
1:29:28which is, you know, just telling it up
1:29:29front, build this. The process first way
1:29:31is the way I build 90% of my skills. And
1:29:34this will be like I will start a new
1:29:36session with Claude and I will, for
1:29:38example, like I'm going to demo my ad
1:29:39scraping skill. So to build this what I
1:29:41did was I started a fresh session and
1:29:43I'm like okay here is the ads library
1:29:46link for XYZ competitor
1:29:50please use firecrol to scrape like their
1:29:54entire like ad library and download it
1:29:57send. And I went and did it and I was
1:29:59like all right and now please analyze
1:30:01every single one of these ads and then
1:30:03give me a breakdown of like these
1:30:04metrics the ones I care about send. I
1:30:06think for people too from like a macro
1:30:08perspective, uh top down versus bottom
1:30:11up is basically what this is right now.
1:30:12It's just how to how to look at it. Is
1:30:14that
1:30:14>> Yeah. Yeah. Top down versus bottom up is
1:30:15a great way to put it's a good way to
1:30:17put it.
1:30:17>> And then I'm like, you know, Claude, go
1:30:19find all the different landing pages
1:30:21they're running ads to and like send it
1:30:23off. It went and found like, yo, they're
1:30:25running it to these five pages. Okay,
1:30:27use Fire Crawl. I want you to take a
1:30:30screenshot of all the landing pages and
1:30:31build a a master doc breaking down each
1:30:34of the landing pages they're running the
1:30:35ads to. And then anyway, I went through
1:30:37this entire process and then I once that
1:30:41was done and I'm happy with it like I've
1:30:43taken Claude on this almost like a
1:30:45journey about how I want this process
1:30:47done then I will go like well I know I'm
1:30:50going to want to do this again in the
1:30:51future. I'll just tell Claude, okay,
1:30:54create a skill for this process that
1:30:56we've just done and call it ad scraper.
1:30:57And then it uses the skill creator skill
1:30:59and and packages it up for me. And now I
1:31:01have this skill which I'm going to show
1:31:02you right now. It's it's absolutely
1:31:03insane.
1:31:03>> Blow my mind. Let's do it.
1:31:05>> Cool. So you can see I've got the ads
1:31:07analyst skill and I'm going to do a
1:31:08little demo here. So how this skill
1:31:09works, I just have to give it an ads
1:31:11library URL and it will go through like
1:31:13I said before and scrape all the ads
1:31:15landing pages and build me like a full
1:31:16report
1:31:17>> under the notion that you already have
1:31:18it connected in your LLM like what we
1:31:20talked about earlier with the MCPS. It's
1:31:21it's it's scraping from all the
1:31:23>> it's using like some of those tools like
1:31:25ampify and firecraw to scrape them.
1:31:27>> Cool. So, this is my buddy Ollie. We're
1:31:28just going to scrape his
1:31:30>> shout out Uncle Ollie, baby. Let's go.
1:31:32>> Ollie's Ollie's a gun. He was one of the
1:31:33ones that got me into into content. He's
1:31:35an OG of the AI space.
1:31:36>> Let's go.
1:31:37>> All right, cool. So, include code. And I
1:31:38need to make sure I'm using my OS
1:31:40folder, which is where I pretty much do
1:31:42all my operations out of because that's
1:31:43where my skills live. And if we go into
1:31:47here, we can go slash and it'll bring up
1:31:48all the skills we have available. Hey,
1:31:51ads analyst. Ready? Orchestrate
1:31:52competitive ad research, extract ads,
1:31:55create a report, and we just click that
1:31:57ads analyst. Literally, we just give it
1:31:59the ads library link. Bang. We just send
1:32:01it off. Go. And now that is going to
1:32:05start cooking away for us. So, Mark, I
1:32:08wasn't going to make you wait another 20
1:32:10minutes for this to to run through. So,
1:32:12I actually ran the exact same thing
1:32:13earlier before with the same ads library
1:32:15URL ads analyst skill. And you can see
1:32:18it finished up the analysis and it
1:32:21basically gave us a master report, a
1:32:22bunch of things, and it deposited it
1:32:25into this active folder that I have. So
1:32:27within my OS folder, which is literally
1:32:28like a folder on my desktop, it's got a
1:32:30bunch of like subfolders within it where
1:32:32I kind of just like keep things
1:32:33organized. And I like to have this
1:32:35little active folder here where I just
1:32:37kind of like just miscellaneous tasks
1:32:39that aren't really related to anything
1:32:41specific. It just creates a new folder
1:32:43to work in. So it's you can see here
1:32:44we've got this ad research one where
1:32:46it's just sort of deposited it in there
1:32:47and we can open that up here and it's
1:32:50built us a few things. It's given us a
1:32:51master report in markdown format which
1:32:53we can open and read through. You can
1:32:57see it looks exactly like a doc you'd
1:32:59see in click up or notion and we can go
1:33:01through as well. So and just like
1:33:03>> wow there's a linked version that links
1:33:05out to the individual ads.
1:33:07>> Yeah. So
1:33:08>> Jesus.
1:33:09>> And you can see these other reports it's
1:33:10created. Also, by the way, it's
1:33:12downloaded all of the assets. So, you
1:33:15can see here like pretty much every
1:33:16single video.
1:33:18>> I wonder if like in the desktop app
1:33:19it'll pull them up, but if we're going
1:33:20to show and find it, right, it's
1:33:22downloaded every single one of his ads.
1:33:24>> Oh my god.
1:33:25>> And it has done like a deep dive into
1:33:27them all. It's pulled out all the
1:33:29landing pages and it's basically, if we
1:33:31can open this up, I'll open that up in
1:33:33Claude in a sec, but it's done like the
1:33:35full analysis and you can see it's given
1:33:37us like this final report as HTML
1:33:39format. So, we can now just shut this up
1:33:41and I'll open this out so it's a bit
1:33:43bigger for you to see. So, you can see
1:33:45that it's given us this full ads
1:33:48strategy analysis. 54 active ads, 37
1:33:50video, 14 image, the price point, the
1:33:53longest running ad, newest funnel 3 days
1:33:56ago, and you know, it's a competitor of
1:33:58mine, even though he's a good good
1:34:00buddy, but same thing in the AI space.
1:34:02And I can like now go through and scrape
1:34:04like see everything that he's doing.
1:34:06It's it's basically talked about like
1:34:07things to steal or beat. Like what he's
1:34:09done well. So reframe the category to
1:34:11justify the price. Like he's selling
1:34:13like a notion template, but it's not a
1:34:14template. It's an operating system. So
1:34:16he's it's it's picked that up and it's
1:34:18giving that to me is a great takeaway.
1:34:20>> Name your mechanism. Context
1:34:21engineering. So the method feels
1:34:23ownable. You know, longevity.
1:34:25>> Yeah, I think for context, I mean, this
1:34:27is a long document. We can spend all day
1:34:29on it. It's just like you could just
1:34:31keep optimizing this single skill and
1:34:34just
1:34:35>> on the skill side like you can format it
1:34:36however you like and obviously we're
1:34:38going to go through the whole entire
1:34:39gamut but ultimately
1:34:40>> you can autonomously schedule updates on
1:34:43competitors like
1:34:44>> you can do anything you want in relation
1:34:46to this.
1:34:47>> I mean look I don't like the way that's
1:34:48formatted to be honest. So I would
1:34:49probably go back to Claude and this is a
1:34:51good point to touch on about these these
1:34:53skills. It's like the first time you
1:34:54build them the V1 of the skill is never
1:34:57going to be perfect. Most of my skills
1:34:58that I use are on like V5 to 10. So this
1:35:01one here is like I would then say to
1:35:04Claude in the chat, I hate how you've
1:35:06made the landing pages so like big and
1:35:09full screen. Like I'd like them to be,
1:35:12you know, smaller and better fitting on
1:35:13the page. And I would say just update
1:35:15the skill and it will go and update it
1:35:17for you, you know, to do anything. And
1:35:18then next time you run it, skills on V2,
1:35:20you're not going to have that issue. And
1:35:22you just keep doing that until the skill
1:35:24like is eventually sanded down and it's
1:35:25perfect.
1:35:26>> Keep iterating.
1:35:27>> Yeah. Yeah, I mean we can go on and on
1:35:29about kind of reverse engineering the
1:35:30skills that you've already built, but I
1:35:31want to show everybody here and live how
1:35:34to actually have an idea and build a
1:35:36skill. We have a mutual connection here
1:35:38with Beehive. We both love Beehive. So,
1:35:41why don't we just have you from the
1:35:42bottom up? Let's just let's just build a
1:35:44skill in conjunction with Beehive.
1:35:46>> Yeah. Okay. Great. So, let's let's do a
1:35:50one of the ideas we had was like a a
1:35:51subject line skill.
1:35:52>> Yeah. So, it will basically write
1:35:54subject lines for my newsletter by
1:35:56looking in Beehive at what's performed
1:35:57the best over the last like historically
1:36:00and then use that to like write the
1:36:02subject lines. So, first up, we need to
1:36:06connect Beehive into Claude. So, I'm
1:36:07just going to show you super quick.
1:36:09We're just going to go to connectors.
1:36:10And now, I don't think that the Beehive
1:36:12MCP is no, it's not native into Claude.
1:36:17So, what we're going to do is we're just
1:36:18going to go to plus add custom connector
1:36:21and then just like close out of these
1:36:24advanced settings. It's just like
1:36:25nothing to worry about. And we're going
1:36:27to name it Beehive.
1:36:32And then you [clears throat] need the
1:36:33the server URL here. And like if you
1:36:35have a tool you want to connect to, you
1:36:37can just ask Claude like, "Hey, can you
1:36:38set this up for me or can you help me?"
1:36:40And it will walk you through it. But in
1:36:41my case, like I already know what I'm
1:36:42doing here. So, I'm just going to go
1:36:43into Beehive into my account. We can go
1:36:46down to MCP and settings and they've got
1:36:48this URL for us to use. And like most
1:36:50softwares that release their own MCP,
1:36:52they will have a URL exactly like this
1:36:54for their software.
1:36:54>> Uh and additional context too guys, BHB
1:36:56is obviously an email platform and it
1:36:58was one of the first, if not the first
1:37:00with an MCP connector from from my
1:37:02knowledge. So
1:37:03>> yeah, I've been using MCP. I love it. So
1:37:05I'm going to show you like we'll grab
1:37:06this and this URL. So we head back into
1:37:09Claude and we'll go paste and then add.
1:37:13And then now it's given Beehive to us as
1:37:15a connector. And then now let's go into
1:37:17like a fresh session. I'm working out of
1:37:20my OS folder, which I'm going to take
1:37:22you under the hood in there as well in a
1:37:23sec. And then I'm just going to say,
1:37:25could you please go into notion and find
1:37:28my most recent newsletter? And then
1:37:33I haven't posted it yet. So we need to
1:37:34create some subject lines. I want you to
1:37:37then just go into Beehive with the
1:37:39Beehive MCP and find like all my subject
1:37:42lines and then pull in like all the data
1:37:44so you can see which ones perform the
1:37:45best and use that to help write like 10
1:37:49new options for the most recent
1:37:51newsletter. Send that off. And you can
1:37:54see like with my prompts there's no real
1:37:56structure or formatting to them. It's
1:37:58just like plain natural language.
1:38:00>> Well, that's Whisper. It obviously
1:38:01breaks it down and kind of
1:38:02>> streamlines and optimizes the whole
1:38:04entire thing. Yeah, but I know like some
1:38:06people are like worried that they don't
1:38:08know how to prompt it correctly, but
1:38:10it's like I don't know. I feel like
1:38:11prompting used to be this thing people
1:38:14becoming less and less.
1:38:16>> Yeah.
1:38:16>> And guys, anything that you can think of
1:38:19with this beehive thing, I mean, it
1:38:21could do cohort analysis. We're going to
1:38:22do subject lines. I mean, it could look
1:38:25underneath the hood and see who's on
1:38:27your list. And if you want to say, you
1:38:29know, I have this cohort of operators or
1:38:32athletes and it can extract lists of
1:38:34those people. Yeah. And
1:38:36>> do they even have this crazy I don't
1:38:38know if you're using it like the UTM
1:38:39tracking where you can also see like on
1:38:42an individual onetoone basis, this
1:38:44person with this email has clicked on
1:38:48these specific emails and like you see
1:38:50what percent of time they open up. You
1:38:52could see the source of where they came
1:38:53from from an attribution perspective. If
1:38:55>> you're doing like lead magnets, you can
1:38:57then see like, oh, they came from the
1:38:59George Heaton lead magnet and then you
1:39:02could start evaluating like, okay, this
1:39:04lead magnet was the best lead magnet and
1:39:06why was it the best lead mag
1:39:08>> dude, the rabbit hole is absolutely
1:39:10incredible on this.
1:39:12>> Yeah, 100%. I've been using the Behive
1:39:14MCP as well for like so much stuff cuz I
1:39:16like have my newsletter that I write
1:39:18each week and it's like a big part of
1:39:19like what I do and and where I add value
1:39:22to to my audience and yeah, it's it's
1:39:24just so good for like subject lines like
1:39:26data analysis. I was getting my entire
1:39:29beehive list into resend to send some
1:39:31like like flows and stuff and it just
1:39:36like one click moved it in for me. Like
1:39:38I just said to Claude like create the
1:39:40recent audience from Beehive and it just
1:39:42like did it for me with the MCP. It's
1:39:44just so handy. You can see here like
1:39:46first kind of in its first few loops
1:39:48around we've said like go into notion
1:39:50find my most recent newsletter first and
1:39:52then cuz it needs subject lines to write
1:39:55for a newsletter, right? You kind of
1:39:56have a subject line for you know of an
1:39:58email. Yep.
1:39:58>> So it's going to do that first and it's
1:40:00going through the loop right now to try
1:40:01and find that email.
1:40:02>> You can see what it's doing. Hey, while
1:40:05while that's cooking, I wanted to just
1:40:07like we can cut this in, but I wanted to
1:40:08show one other skill I built, but I'm
1:40:10going to do like a 30 second version, so
1:40:12it just be super quick. I just want to
1:40:13blow people's minds here real quick.
1:40:15>> I don't know if you're ready for this
1:40:16one.
1:40:16>> That's it. So, this is a product shoot
1:40:18skill. I actually built this for a
1:40:19buddy's company, and we have this skill.
1:40:23So, that the brand's like Tber Stone.
1:40:25So, we got like TBA product shoot is the
1:40:26skill I built. So I would just go
1:40:28literally I run t product shoot and I
1:40:30would just get the reference image of
1:40:32the product. So like this cabinet for
1:40:35example which can just be like iPhone
1:40:37images of the product and then I would
1:40:40run the skill pointed at the image and
1:40:42then it built it it would generate all
1:40:45of the production ready images for the
1:40:48for the thing. So so this little cabinet
1:40:50you see here that's the reference image.
1:40:52That's not the final one. Look at this.
1:40:55That's took that one that you just saw
1:40:58and now it's built it out into a full
1:40:59like editorial thing in the same office.
1:41:02You can see here. Look at that. Ready?
1:41:03Yeah. It's like a different angle with
1:41:05someone like touching it. And then it's
1:41:08got like a closeup of the veining on the
1:41:10marble
1:41:12>> and basically the input output is just
1:41:14giving the the raw like basically CAD
1:41:16file and then you have a very very
1:41:17detailed skill that outputs whatever
1:41:19five or six of these things that could
1:41:20be like on the PDP page or something.
1:41:22>> Yeah. And there's another one. This was
1:41:23the reference image we gave it. And then
1:41:25these are like what it what it built for
1:41:27the like editorial. Like just insane,
1:41:31>> man.
1:41:32>> Look at these close-up ones. Like it is
1:41:34so insanely detailed.
1:41:36>> Yeah. And I I assume that this was
1:41:39filtered through the Hicksfield MCP or
1:41:40No.
1:41:40>> Yeah. Yeah. This was done with Hickfield
1:41:42MCP to generate the images. And it used
1:41:44I think like Nano Banana Pro as the
1:41:45image model, which is Google's one
1:41:47through Hicksfield though. So that was
1:41:50like one of my favorite skills I've ever
1:41:52built. And then we'll cut back to the
1:41:54beehive example. Okay, cool. Now it's
1:41:56pulled out like some of the patterns
1:41:57that win. Like you can see it's got like
1:41:58don't stack tool names. Your two worst
1:42:00lines both jammed two tools into the
1:42:02name. Bold stance. I plus bold stance
1:42:05wins. I plus boring task doesn't. I want
1:42:07my don't want my business to be trapped
1:42:09in Claude. Got a great one. I automated
1:42:11meta ads in 20 minutes even though I
1:42:13think that's a good subject line. Didn't
1:42:14do so well. But you can see it's pulled
1:42:16the gist of them. It's got like written
1:42:18out some for this new newsletter that
1:42:19we've got. And then I can now say as
1:42:23well and it's see it's got that pattern
1:42:25as well cuz I usually put this little
1:42:26emoji at the start of all my subject
1:42:27lines. So I'm just going to say to to it
1:42:29now I'm going to say like great can you
1:42:31please build a uh subject lines skill
1:42:35that always goes into beehive to check
1:42:38the best performing latest subject lines
1:42:41and historic as well and then uses that
1:42:44data to help write the subject line for
1:42:47the latest newsletter.
1:42:49You can see it's cooked away here. It's
1:42:50created the skill.md for us. And we can
1:42:54see that it's got the name subject lines
1:42:56description telling it like what to do
1:42:58which is going to be on like the little
1:43:00spine of that book.
1:43:01>> And that that name the subject lines is
1:43:03the slash and then it's the the drop
1:43:05down menu and subject lines comes up.
1:43:07>> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So I'll show you
1:43:08that in a second. You can see it's
1:43:10written this doc for itself. Hey, step
1:43:11one, load the tools.
1:43:13Step one, pull B performance data.
1:43:17Step three, find the draft and the hero
1:43:19story in notion. Then write 10 ranked
1:43:22options
1:43:23output structure. Use this shape when
1:43:25giving them to the reader. It's so
1:43:27simple. And then we can basically like
1:43:30that's saved the skill to our claude
1:43:34folder, which I'll touch on in two sec,
1:43:36but let's for this example, let's tell
1:43:40it remember that demo folder that we
1:43:42built earlier where it had like our
1:43:43claw.md and stuff in it. Let's get the
1:43:46skills in there so you guys can see how
1:43:47this looks when we like continue
1:43:49building out.
1:43:50>> And that's adding in like the brand
1:43:51voice and the stuff like that that we
1:43:52talked about earlier.
1:43:53>> Yeah, that project. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. So
1:43:54I might say like could you please find
1:43:56the demo folder on my desktop and then I
1:43:58want this skill to be saved in that demo
1:44:01folder. Okay. So now it's saved it to
1:44:04our demo folder. So I I want to just
1:44:07keep coming back to this example here
1:44:08because this is like our folder that
1:44:09we've been building on, right? We
1:44:10started with the claw.md. We added the
1:44:12context in the memory in. Now we can see
1:44:15it's created this little folder for us
1:44:17called the dotclaw folder.
1:44:18>> Why is that dark?
1:44:20>> So the and see it's got the dot in front
1:44:21of it. Any folders that you have a dot
1:44:24in front of are hidden. So if we go
1:44:25commandshift dot on the Mac or period,
1:44:28it hides it. So by default when I'm
1:44:32working in my in my normal project, I
1:44:33don't see those folders unless I run
1:44:35that little command shift dot command.
1:44:37It just hides them. I guess just for
1:44:38like workspace cleanliness.
1:44:40>> Yep. And then that's kind of like
1:44:42Claude's settings. And the same way
1:44:44Claude like when it's loading into a
1:44:46session in this demo folder, it will
1:44:48always know to load in claw.md, it will
1:44:50also always check that. Claude folder as
1:44:53well. So quite often what I'll do in my
1:44:55projects is I will put all this inside
1:44:57the claude folder as well. So that way
1:44:59like I can just have that hidden and
1:45:01then I just have in my working folder
1:45:04that's kind of tucked away and I can
1:45:06just have my actual files that I care
1:45:08about. So, if we open this up, it it
1:45:10created this little folder called
1:45:11skills. And then it's added in our
1:45:13subject line skill with our skill.md.
1:45:16So, that's in there nicely. We can open
1:45:18that up. And then there we go. Our name,
1:45:19description, and contents with the
1:45:21little step-by-step guide for the
1:45:23subject lines. And then now all like
1:45:25these context and skills and stuff, I
1:45:27just like to leave them in this doc
1:45:28claude folder. And then that's kind of
1:45:30like hidden away within the project.
1:45:32>> Yeah. And just to just to tie a bow on
1:45:34that for, you know, for everybody out
1:45:36there. So it's basically you have the
1:45:38skill. It's the SOP on the actual
1:45:40structure on how you are now going to
1:45:43build subjects lines moving forward
1:45:45tapping into the MCP with Beehive for
1:45:47the most optimized results. And you can
1:45:49keep iterating and optimizing that
1:45:51actual skill.
1:45:52>> And you can change skills too. So like
1:45:54my I've got a skill called YouTube
1:45:55publish workflow. And what that does is
1:45:58if you open up the skill.md it literally
1:46:00tells it step by step, hey step one, use
1:46:02the YouTube title skill. Hey, step two,
1:46:05use the YouTube thumbnail skill. So, you
1:46:07can see you've got like almost like an
1:46:08orchestrator skill that will like call
1:46:11the other skills in sequence.
1:46:12>> So, he's opening up book one for YouTube
1:46:15workflow and then it's telling him, "All
1:46:17right, now you got to get these four
1:46:18skills and he's like, "Oh, okay." And
1:46:19then he goes to other books and it'll
1:46:20keep working. So, like you can
1:46:22>> create some insane workflows. For people
1:46:25out there that are worried that your
1:46:26brain is going to be irrelevant at some
1:46:27point, I mean, you just touched on
1:46:29something that is very very relevant is
1:46:31like
1:46:32>> the strategic mind is still very very
1:46:34important to understand the sequencing
1:46:36of how to look at things
1:46:38>> because some people want thinking.
1:46:39>> Yeah. Some people want to look at
1:46:40thumbnails before they do titles and
1:46:42without kind of giving it that input, it
1:46:44would not know that. So exactly
1:46:45>> the chaining of skills that's very very
1:46:47interesting and that would just live in
1:46:49that core skill file and it just would
1:46:51say check this check this check this
1:46:53>> just they're just separate ones I'll
1:46:54show you. So in my cloud folder with my
1:46:58OS folder I literally just have this
1:47:00skills here and for example the I mean
1:47:03that ads analyst one I ran earlier was a
1:47:04was a orchestrator skill. It called the
1:47:06ad creative analysis skill. It called
1:47:08the like creative strategy skill. It
1:47:11called a bunch of them. And then my
1:47:13YouTube publish workflow skill. The the
1:47:16the skills that it's orchestrating are
1:47:18not within the folder. They're just all
1:47:20standalone skills. So I can just open
1:47:22this up and show you this skill. YouTube
1:47:25publish workflow. Literally says this is
1:47:28an orchestrator skill. Use these other
1:47:30four skills in sequence. You can see how
1:47:32simple that is.
1:47:33>> Insane. I think we've been looking at a
The Agent OS folder structure
1:47:35lot of folders and talking about a lot
1:47:37of things. I think that there's a lot
1:47:38for people to wrap their brain around.
1:47:39I'd love to kind of zoom out and kind of
1:47:41look at like your machine, your
1:47:43operating system. Talk about like folder
1:47:46structure and just see from a macro
1:47:47perspective like how everything is
1:47:49organized so then people can see what it
1:47:51looks like when you put in a [ __ ] ton of
1:47:52hours and kind of what the end looks
1:47:54like. So I'd love to just give you the
1:47:55floor maybe do like a live walkthrough
1:47:57of what everything looks like on your
1:47:58set.
1:47:59>> 100%. So the way that I run things and
1:48:02this is like the the kind of way I've
1:48:03landed after months and months of use
1:48:05and trying lots of different setups.
1:48:08Guys, real quick. Everything that Remy
1:48:09is setting up, the loop, the folder
1:48:11structure, the entire system, he made a
1:48:14plugin that does it for you, built
1:48:15around your life and your business. It
1:48:17interviews you, then connects your
1:48:19email, your calendar, your docs,
1:48:21everything. I am not technical. I did it
1:48:23myself. 90 minutes, one sitting, done.
1:48:26Sign up for the newsletter below and get
1:48:2750% off at launch. Enjoy the rest of the
1:48:30episode. I originally used to like kind
1:48:33of create these agents. Like I would
1:48:35have like really granular niche agents
1:48:37like id have like a you know I mean at
1:48:39one point I might have even had like a
1:48:40subject lines agent.
1:48:42>> Jesus.
1:48:43>> And I mean when I say agent you know a
1:48:44folder like I would definitely have like
1:48:46a you know marketing like ads folder and
1:48:49then I would kind of just like open up
1:48:51those folders to work in if that makes
1:48:53sense. If I was doing ads I would open
1:48:54up my ads folder include code and like
1:48:56scope it to that folder and then work
1:48:58out of there. But the more I I build and
1:49:02work, it's like it's just such an
1:49:04annoying, inefficient way to have
1:49:05things. I just run everything out of
1:49:08this OS folder. And some reason as
1:49:11humans, we love to like give these
1:49:12agents like treat them like humans, you
1:49:14know, give them human names and like
1:49:16give them like roles and things.
1:49:17>> Marty, we got we got Marty.
1:49:19>> Marty. Yeah, exactly. Like people people
1:49:20for some reason they they want to have
1:49:22like a head of marketing agent, all this
1:49:24stuff. And it's also what gets lots of
1:49:26clicks and views on Instagram, you know?
1:49:27People go like, "I've got my team of
1:49:28agents doing this." And it's like
1:49:30really, they're just folders. And the
1:49:34more folders you have and more
1:49:35specialized, the more like different
1:49:37stuff there is to worry about. And the
1:49:38models are just so smart now that I just
1:49:41run everything out of the OS folder. And
1:49:43then I build really really good skills
1:49:45to teach it the processes. And this is
1:49:47my OS folder here, right? So I have all
1:49:51of my like this is all my stuff for my
1:49:54like, you know, education, consulting.
1:49:56This is stuff for for comfort work I'm
1:49:58doing there. And this is just another
1:50:00like thing just for some notes and
1:50:01stuff. And
1:50:02>> so so let's take a step back. So if
1:50:04somebody's looking at this and they want
1:50:05to look at their folder structure, let's
1:50:07just say for example for me like I would
1:50:09have iconic and I would have open
1:50:11residency. Like these are the big
1:50:12pillars in which I want to work in.
1:50:14>> 100%. Yeah. So you got exactly right. So
1:50:16you can see like my my folder structure
1:50:18is literally like I've got like my
1:50:19overarching OS folder. OS just stands
1:50:21for operating system. And then I have,
1:50:25you know, any like big any businesses or
1:50:27pillars. So yeah, for you iconic and
1:50:28open residency. You might even have
1:50:30another one for like you might have a
1:50:32folder just called personal for like
1:50:34your health stuff that you wanted to do.
1:50:35>> Yeah.
1:50:36>> And I've got another one that I like to
1:50:38have. I just have a folder called active
1:50:39which is just like oneoff projects and
1:50:41experiments that don't really fit into
1:50:43like one of the pillars.
1:50:44>> And if potentially it becomes something
1:50:45substantial, maybe you'd move it into
1:50:47one of those other
1:50:47>> core folders. So for like I created a
1:50:49folder for this podcast to prep and I
1:50:52just added it's just sitting in the
1:50:53active folder. It's loose. It's just
1:50:54like a separate project that I'm working
1:50:56on. And then within these like
1:50:59overarching pillars then I'll have like
1:51:00the folders within like content,
1:51:02newsletter, website. So for example in
1:51:04my real OS folder you can see here AOS
1:51:07bromy we go in and I've got like content
1:51:10finance legal newsletter website
1:51:14marketing and I used to
1:51:17open claude so I would in the past have
1:51:20let's just say I wanted to work on
1:51:22marketing what I would have done is I
1:51:24would have opened up the marketing
1:51:25folder and then started working in there
1:51:28for all my marketing stuff
1:51:29>> and what's the right way to do it
1:51:30>> I mean there is no right or wrong way
1:51:31but I I the reason I was doing that and
1:51:33my thought process was then it's like
1:51:35we're scoping the agent to just
1:51:36marketing work but they're so like the
1:51:38agents are so smart the models are so
1:51:40good and their context windows which is
1:51:41like the bar chart like how much you can
1:51:44fit in it is just getting bigger and
1:51:45bigger that I just run everything out of
1:51:47my OS folder
1:51:48>> that's under the notion that the OS is
1:51:50very macro and it's going to pick up all
1:51:52the stuff underneath it as opposed to
1:51:54going granular
1:51:55>> and what I would do right so let's just
1:51:56say like for my new like a newsletter or
1:51:59marketing let's say we're creating a new
1:52:00batch of ads I would sort of have OS
1:52:02folder open working. And then I like to
1:52:04just go like this. I would tag the
1:52:05folder. You can tag folders. And then I
1:52:08would go, you know, AI with Remy
1:52:14slash
1:52:16marketing. See, it's got the marketing
1:52:18folder.
1:52:18>> I mean, there has to be some muscle
1:52:19memory in there and knowing what your
1:52:21kind of, you know, folder structure is.
1:52:23I would love for you to walk through
1:52:24right there just the ads, the slashes,
1:52:26like what are all those kind of like
1:52:27quick shortcuts that people can do to
1:52:28tap in there?
1:52:30I mean it's going to be slightly
1:52:31different depending on what harness
1:52:32you're in, but most of them like codeex
1:52:34cloud code pretty much all of them use a
1:52:37slash command and an at symbol type
1:52:39system. So slash command just brings up
1:52:41all your skills and like commands
1:52:42available to run. As you can see, we've
1:52:44got a lot and but it also just brings up
1:52:47like settings that are baked into
1:52:49claude. Like for example, if I want to
1:52:50change the model, the LLM, the brain
1:52:52behind this loop, I can click do /mod
1:52:55and then it's going to bring it up
1:52:56there. And for context too for people, I
1:52:58just want to double click on everything
1:52:59to give people 100% clarity on stuff
1:53:01too. If you're going to slash skill, is
1:53:04that like tag teaming it in? What
1:53:05happens if you don't tag team it tag
1:53:07team it in? Is it going to automatically
1:53:09tap into the skill with its own brain or
1:53:11do you have to be very intentional in
1:53:13making sure that you're tapping in the
1:53:14skill?
1:53:15>> Sometimes I'm intentional. If I say,
1:53:17"Write me a a hook for my Instagram
1:53:20video," and I've got a hook skill, it's
1:53:22just it's going to pick it up.
1:53:23>> Yeah. But like for example the ads
1:53:24analyst one if I just dumped in the ads
1:53:26library link and ran it would be like
1:53:28what the [ __ ] do I do with this?
1:53:29>> So naming conventions are important but
1:53:31obviously like really having muscle
1:53:34memory in what your folder structure is
1:53:35so you know when to tap into certain
1:53:37it's basically just like you have 50
1:53:39employees you should know the names of
1:53:40your employees.
1:53:41>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Same
1:53:43thing. I mean like I've got a pretty big
1:53:44setup and it's not that hard to like
1:53:46work it out. Like I mean even so like
1:53:48slash commands is for your skills and
1:53:49like other little setting stuff mainly
1:53:52skills but the ats I find is like when
1:53:54you want to tag files or or folders so
1:53:57like or documents you know for example
1:54:00um
1:54:00>> and should that be under the notion that
1:54:01if you tag in a folder it is going to
1:54:03pick up all of the files within that
1:54:06folder.
1:54:06>> Yeah. Yeah. So you know I I wouldn't
1:54:08even really have to remember I think if
1:54:10I just go at marketing right I want to
1:54:13do marketing it brings up straight away
1:54:15my marketing folder. Hey, with Remy
1:54:17Marketing, I can select that. And now if
1:54:20I give it my task for marketing like
1:54:22write me 10 new ads for my upcoming
1:54:24workshop.
1:54:27Then you will see what it will do is it
1:54:29will then start to like use that folder
1:54:32to work in but without us having to
1:54:34actually open that folder up to work in.
1:54:37Does that make sense?
1:54:38>> Yeah. You're you're basically uploading
1:54:40the OS folder, which is macro, and it's
1:54:42getting everything under it, but then
1:54:44you're tag teaming in the marketing
1:54:46folder to take like an extra good look
1:54:48at the marketing folder.
1:54:49>> Yeah, that's exactly
1:54:49>> I don't know if I explained that good
1:54:50for you guys out there, but I think it's
1:54:52uh I'm I'm trying to make this at a
1:54:54fifth grade level so people could really
1:54:55understand it. It's just like, hey, go
1:54:57check this folder. It's probably where
1:54:58it is.
1:54:59>> I mean, that's like that's that's what I
1:55:00meant about demystifying this all. It's
1:55:02like you hear like people make Instagram
1:55:04videos and it's like my like my
1:55:06marketing agent just did XYZ while I was
1:55:08asleep overnight just worked all night
1:55:10and it's like if if you don't understand
1:55:13this you're like oh like wow this is
1:55:15crazy but in reality they've I I
1:55:17guarantee you they have a folder called
1:55:20like marketing and they have some skills
1:55:21in there that are marketing related and
1:55:23they're running those skills on some
1:55:25kind of schedule. So it's like hey every
1:55:26night do a report on Facebook ads and
1:55:28email it to me so I wake up to a report.
1:55:31So so simple. It's just folder skills,
1:55:33schedule tasks, and then but people like
1:55:36take that and I don't know whether it's
1:55:37an ego thing cuz they they like to sound
1:55:39smart and sound cool or whether they're
1:55:41pushing some course and that they want
1:55:43you to think they're like some AI god,
1:55:44but in reality it's like just as simple
1:55:47as a skill and a folder and a schedule
1:55:49task. But people will say, I've got like
1:55:5250 agents working for me overnight.
1:55:54>> And that could be anything. It could
1:55:55literally be clean the inbox. You can
1:55:57say draft draft email responses,
1:56:00>> send cold emails or like send LinkedIn
1:56:02connections, you know,
1:56:03>> suggest emails that you want to
1:56:04unsubscribe to if you haven't opened up
1:56:06the last three, four times.
1:56:07>> Yeah. So, it's like, you know, now if I
1:56:10set this up and click create, now I've
1:56:12got an agent that is managing my email
1:56:14inbox for me.
1:56:16>> Insane.
1:56:17>> It's it's it's a lot simpler than you
1:56:19think. The last sort of concept that
1:56:20goes really handinhand with this sort of
1:56:22folder structure I'm outlining is you
1:56:24have context tools and skills you can
1:56:27have them at a global versus a project
1:56:29level. The easiest way to think of
1:56:31global is like a holding company and
1:56:33then the project level is like the sub
1:56:36companies which is kind of like how I
1:56:37have my setup and you know things at a
1:56:41at a OS level like a global or a holding
1:56:44company level are things that apply to
1:56:45like every single company. So, if you're
1:56:47looking at this holding company example,
1:56:49you might have like context, tools, and
1:56:52skills that apply to like all of your
1:56:53companies. And then you might have some
1:56:56things that only apply to really really
1:56:58specific companies. So, I have like
1:57:01skills that live at a global level,
1:57:03which I can access anywhere. And I also
1:57:05have like skills that exist just within
1:57:07a folder. Like remember that one I
1:57:09showed you before with the product
1:57:10shoot, TA product shoot? that skill I've
1:57:13got kept in the folder for the tea stuff
1:57:15cuz like I'm never going to use that
1:57:17skill outside of that specific folder.
1:57:20>> It's so crazy cuz this is really just
1:57:21like this whole thing. It's a personal
1:57:24OS but it's really just a holding
1:57:25company. The whole entire infrastructure
1:57:26of the folders is like a holding
1:57:28company.
1:57:28>> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. That's that's
1:57:30exactly the way to think about it. So
1:57:32another example of like global versus
1:57:34project or holding company versus
1:57:36company specific is our claw.md. You
1:57:38remember that?
1:57:39>> Yeah. So, I have one that I have in my
1:57:42OS folder, my global claw.md that I want
1:57:44to apply to like every single session
1:57:46I'm in, but I have a claw.md in some of
1:57:49these sub projects. Like, I'll give you
1:57:51an example right here. I'll open up the
1:57:52folders. So, I'm in my OS folder right
1:57:55now, like my real one, and you can see
1:57:57that my like, you know, in my I guess
1:58:00you call like your settings folder. I
1:58:03have got my my claw. Mmd, my global one
1:58:05for my OS folder. And this one here
1:58:07contains like overall preferences about
1:58:09myself, you know, explains like who I am
1:58:11as a non-technical founder learning.
1:58:14That's not going to change no matter
1:58:15what project I work in. I'm always going
1:58:17to be the nontechnical founder who's
1:58:19learning. So, I want that applied
1:58:20everywhere. I've got in here, these are
1:58:22loads of lessons that I've built up over
1:58:25months of use.
1:58:27>> I've got I saw in there like core
1:58:28principles, core values. That's a great
1:58:30thing.
1:58:30>> This is one I have as well. Boil the
1:58:31ocean. The marginal cost of completeness
1:58:33is near zero. basically just tells like
1:58:35the agent the standard isn't good
1:58:36enough. It's holy [ __ ] that's done.
1:58:38Like just little things like that,
1:58:39right? And I want that applying to every
1:58:42session. But for example, when I was
1:58:44prepping for the podcast, I created this
1:58:46little podcast folder called
1:58:49>> podcasts
1:58:50>> podcasts, right? And then in here, this
1:58:53is where I was just like workshopping
1:58:54and planning everything, right? You can
1:58:55see a bunch of files. This is just like
1:58:57a big like work workspace essentially.
1:59:00But you can see within the podcast
1:59:02folder, I've got a claude. MD. And if we
1:59:04open that up, that just contains like
1:59:07the Northstar context for the podcasts
1:59:10folder.
1:59:10>> Yeah. So it's it's it's going to be
1:59:12filtered through the macro cloud folder
1:59:14for like your principles and how you
1:59:16think. And then this is more like rubric
1:59:19and outline. Yeah.
1:59:21>> So it's simple, right? This workspace is
1:59:23Rey's base for podcast appearances. What
1:59:25this folder is for prep, demos,
1:59:27diagrams, post episode analysis.
1:59:30That's literally all it is. And then I
1:59:34just have some other folders in here
1:59:35where I was working on stuff. But now
1:59:37when I'm opening up Claude to work, I am
1:59:40still working out of the OS folder and I
1:59:41would tag podcasts. Let's say I wanted
1:59:43to prep for this pod. I would tag
1:59:45podcasts and then I would give it my
1:59:47task and it be like what's the outline
1:59:50for the open residency podcast.
1:59:53Even if I didn't tag podcast the folder,
1:59:55it would still go and find it. But I
1:59:57just like to do it for nice like
1:59:59cleanliness and peace of mind just to
2:00:01make sure. And you can see here it's
2:00:03opening it up. And
2:00:04>> just to to rebutton down for everybody
2:00:06out there listening, you brought in the
2:00:08OS folder. So it's getting the macro
2:00:09claw and all the stuff there. And now
2:00:11you're tapping in the skill of podcast
2:00:14and it's picking up the claw MD file
2:00:16within there and anything and everything
2:00:18y around there.
2:00:18>> And and like now it's loaded in the
2:00:20claw. MD from the podcast folder. So
2:00:22you're kind of like stacking them on top
2:00:24of each other.
2:00:24>> Yep. And you can see he's whipped up our
2:00:27our episode plan here, which is which is
2:00:29super cool. But that's just giving you
2:00:30an example of like global versus project
2:00:33level or holding company versus company
2:00:35level CLMD's skills and tools.
2:00:40>> Amazing. Amazing context there. I'd love
2:00:42to just shoot for my own selfish reasons
2:00:44and I think for a lot of people out
2:00:45there, they probably are interested in
2:00:46this as well. just like something that
2:00:48I've been working on and just how would
2:00:49you kind of construct it on a a global
2:00:52versus project level is like me I'm like
2:00:54on a health journey let's just say I
2:00:56have my DEXA scan my blood work maybe
2:00:58I'm tracking my macros this whole entire
2:01:00flywheel of all these kind of touch
2:01:02points maybe I have my aura sleep score
2:01:04which has an MCP and can bring it in
2:01:06maybe eight sleep
2:01:07>> and and can bring it in like how would
2:01:09you architect that global verse project
2:01:11and then like just give me your your
2:01:12thoughts on that
2:01:13>> yeah so I would have my I guess holding
2:01:15company
2:01:16OS folder. Yep.
2:01:18>> And then, you know, you might have you'd
2:01:19have a folder within that for like open
2:01:20residency, another one for iconic. And
2:01:22then I'd probably have another folder
2:01:23because it's a big pillar in your life
2:01:24like personal.
2:01:25>> And then within personal, I'd probably
2:01:27have a folder called like health. And
2:01:29then I would just in that health folder,
2:01:32I would then just dump in all that
2:01:34stuff, everything. Just dump it in like
2:01:35Dexter scans, whatever. Just just dump
2:01:37it in there. And then I would just
2:01:39create a claw.md just for the health
2:01:41folder. And I would basically just say
2:01:43something along the lines of this is my
2:01:46health workspace where I'm going to be,
2:01:49you know, analyzing blood work and doing
2:01:51this and doing that. You might even then
2:01:53give it like your health goals and put
2:01:54it in the claw. MD just any context that
2:01:57your agent might need when it's like
2:01:59when you want to work on health stuff.
2:02:01>> Yeah.
2:02:01>> And then that's literally it.
2:02:03>> Yeah. I think like again to kind of take
2:02:05it a step further, something that I'm
2:02:06working on now is just like, okay, you
2:02:07have your separate vendors. Maybe it
2:02:09takes X amount of time to book an
2:02:11appointment to go get your blood work,
2:02:12go get your DEXA scan. You know, maybe
2:02:14this is your preferred vendor to get the
2:02:16DEXA scan. You have your Gmail linked
2:02:18up. Yeah,
2:02:19>> it knows every seven weeks to email the
2:02:22DEXA scan place to set up a DEXA scan so
2:02:24you stay on target and keep updating it.
2:02:27So, yeah,
2:02:28>> there's a lot of ways that's something
2:02:29I'm working on. I'm super super excited
2:02:30about to get the reminders and automate
2:02:33the the different appointments.
2:02:34>> Yeah, I know a few guys that have like
2:02:36done crazy stuff with like health and
2:02:38blood work with claw code and and
2:02:40agents.
2:02:41>> Yeah,
2:02:41>> for me it's simple because it's just
2:02:42like I saw my blood work that like I
2:02:44have to work on saturated fats and
2:02:46sugars and like
2:02:47>> I just now work through the lens of what
2:02:49food do I eat and is it bad and
2:02:51obviously calories and protein etc. but
2:02:54like what does it look like on those
2:02:55kind of two realms.
2:02:57>> Yeah,
2:02:57>> amazing. definitely will be talking
2:02:59about that kind of health whole entire
2:03:02flywheel that I'm setting up. I think a
2:03:03lot of people would be interested in
2:03:04that. What is like the honest kind of
2:03:06like monthly cost of doing all of this?
2:03:09Obviously, you talked about, you know,
2:03:10the $100, maybe $200 a month if you want
2:03:12to get the bigger plan on your core LLM.
2:03:15How much are you spending a month on
2:03:16kind of everything?
2:03:18everything all up about a
2:03:22I mean about
2:03:24a thousand a month but that's across
2:03:27like loads of tools and you know I'm
2:03:29it's my job to be on top of this. I'm
2:03:31I'm testing stuff. I got subscriptions I
2:03:33forgot about from months ago. Like I'm
2:03:35Yeah, I know my bills about a thousand
2:03:36bucks for AI stuff.
2:03:37>> You need to set up a skill to cancel the
2:03:39subscriptions that you're not using.
2:03:40Bro, come on. Come on, man. Come on,
2:03:41dude.
2:03:42>> Killing a schedule. I should have I
2:03:43should have one once a month that goes
2:03:45to my email receipts and and notifies
2:03:46me. I should
2:03:47>> the email unsubscribe thing is is a game
2:03:50changer. Yeah. So for people out there
2:03:51listening so
2:03:52>> $12,000 for basically a year for I don't
2:03:56know 100 employees.
2:03:56>> I mean I think it's it's it's a little
2:03:58bit interesting because all of these big
2:04:00AI companies right now like OpenAI,
2:04:02Anthropic, they're all like none of them
2:04:03are profitable. I mean maybe Anthropic
2:04:05just got profitable. I have no idea.
2:04:07>> You have to confirm. None of them are
2:04:08profitable. I don't know if you knew
2:04:09that that they are all running at
2:04:12massive losses because you know the they
2:04:16on these plans you're buying like the
2:04:17free plan, the pro plan, the the $30
2:04:20$100 a month plan, they're heavily
2:04:22subsidizing the real compute cost of of
2:04:26like the AI usage, right? So, I think on
2:04:30a $300 a month Claude plan, you are
2:04:33actually getting about $6,000 worth of
2:04:35token usage, but they are subsidizing it
2:04:38so heavily because they're all trying to
2:04:40get users. They're just trying to
2:04:41capture mass market share. And Anthropic
2:04:43are like really now making a push to IPO
2:04:45and become profitable. They're starting
2:04:47to like they've kept their prices the
2:04:48same, but your usage is going down and
2:04:50down and down, getting squeezed. They've
2:04:52just released their latest model. I know
2:04:53like maybe if you're watching this it's
2:04:55something new but they've just released
2:04:56Fable 5 and they've essentially said
2:04:59like this is our new most powerful model
2:05:01>> it's not not included in your plan. You
2:05:03have to pay the real cost of it which is
2:05:05like
2:05:06>> disgustingly high.
2:05:08>> That's a great that's a great uh new rev
2:05:10for them to print. I'm sure they're
2:05:11charging some sort of markup on it but
2:05:13that's like
2:05:14>> for anybody that really wants the best
2:05:16model they're going to pay for it. I
2:05:18feel like people are going to run that
2:05:19up.
2:05:19>> Yeah. So, it'd be interesting to see
2:05:20what happens over the next sort of year
2:05:22or two as these companies like they
2:05:24can't keep running at a loss forever.
2:05:25They're going to have to start to bring
2:05:26the costs up. So, it'll be interesting
2:05:29to see what happens. I think there's
2:05:30going to be a massive market for like
2:05:32open source models, basically models you
2:05:34can run yourself. You can buy like, you
2:05:36know, couple Mac minis and and run your
2:05:38own AI models on there. I think there'll
2:05:40there'll always be options for like
2:05:41lowerc cost AI. There always will be,
2:05:43but it just be interesting to see these
2:05:45big companies like what happens with the
2:05:48price of like your your plans.
2:05:50>> I completely agree. We've only talked,
2:05:52you know, I mentioned the Kia. I I think
2:05:53that there's only Lamborghinis and Range
2:05:55Rovers right now. Eventually, there's
2:05:56going to be some Kia and Hondas and all
2:05:58that is going to come.
2:05:58>> There's a few.
2:05:59>> There's going to be a lot more options I
2:06:01feel like on the lower end. I don't know
2:06:02how they're going to figure it out, but
2:06:03definitely will be. Before we move on to
2:06:05the next thing from a a folder structure
2:06:07perspective and you know global versus
2:06:08project anything else big that you want
2:06:11to touch on there or do you want to move
2:06:12on?
2:06:14>> That is pretty much like all you need to
2:06:16know and you know I wouldn't get like ke
2:06:18up about having like the perfect folder
2:06:20structure. It grows with you over time.
2:06:22Just start out with with create a folder
2:06:24called OS. That's that's your first step
2:06:26and then just you know create your CLM
2:06:28day add the context in and
2:06:31those subfolders and like you know
2:06:33holding like companies within there
2:06:35that'll just come over time as you start
2:06:36to do real work like I wouldn't go out
2:06:39and like try and get the perfect
2:06:40structure. I wouldn't let that hold you
2:06:42up from just starting and and getting
2:06:44work done with these agents.
The future of teams and intrapreneurship
2:06:46>> Just start the two layers of AI and
2:06:48business. I'd love to kind of walk
2:06:50through your thesis on the different
2:06:52layers and how you look at it
2:06:53specifically from a business
2:06:54perspective.
2:06:56>> So the way I see it right now, you
2:06:57almost have like two layers of AI within
2:07:00within the business, right? It's like
2:07:02you have your personal operating system,
2:07:04which is pretty much everything that
2:07:05we've covered today. This in my mind is
2:07:07like an extension of you. It's like
2:07:09you're going to become like an AI
2:07:10augmented founder. Like the the the way
2:07:12I think of it is like imagine a dude
2:07:13with like a robot arm. It's like an
2:07:15extension of of him and now he can like
2:07:17climb walls with his arm and do all this
2:07:19crazy stuff. And that's like this is
2:07:22your personal operating system, personal
2:07:24AIOS is kind of where you live in every
2:07:26day. This is like this claude code thing
2:07:28I'm setting up with these folders where
2:07:30I now complete my entire workday from
2:07:32within there. And you know that kind of
2:07:35handles all my tasks and my grunt work.
2:07:38But if you think big picture, let's just
2:07:41say you wanted to have an agent that
2:07:43managed your customer service or
2:07:45customer support, the it would be the
2:07:48wrong place to have that on your
2:07:50computer as the founder or you know your
2:07:52customer support team. Like it probably
2:07:54wouldn't be make the most sense for them
2:07:56to have that on their computers. you
2:07:59kind of like that that's where this
2:08:00second layer comes in which I call it
2:08:02more like your AI business
2:08:03infrastructure and that's like
2:08:06that's where some of those other agent
2:08:08frameworks like Hermes and Open Claw
2:08:10really come into play
2:08:11>> more advanced frameworks
2:08:12>> more advanced frameworks and they're the
2:08:13kind of things like that's why everyone
2:08:14was running Mac minis are flying off the
2:08:16shelves because people just wanted like
2:08:18a computer that was not theirs almost
2:08:21like a company Mac Mini to set some of
2:08:22these agents up to run on and but if you
2:08:25if you look under the hood at these
2:08:26agents so right now Like I just remote
2:08:30accessed into my Mac Mini that I have at
2:08:32home. And you can see here I've got like
2:08:34a a Hermes agent set up and this is like
2:08:37the file system you're looking at right
2:08:38now is not on my laptop. This is the
2:08:40files on my Mac Mini at home. And you
2:08:42can see
2:08:42>> this is remote. This is like the cloud.
2:08:44>> Yeah. Yeah.
2:08:45>> So just like I have the OS folder that I
2:08:47work out of, the the Hermes agent is
2:08:50literally just a folder as well. See
2:08:51Hermes?
2:08:52>> Yep.
2:08:52>> We open that up.
2:08:53>> Yep. It's just like a bunch of folders
2:08:55and markdown files, you know, like a
2:08:57soul.md which tells it how to behave
2:08:59like all the same principles that we
2:09:02have just gone through today. So when
2:09:04you eventually decide you want to like
2:09:05graduate to start using like something
2:09:06like an openclaw or a Hermes agent for
2:09:08different stuff to if you want to
2:09:10configure these agents properly, still
2:09:12the same thing context tool skills,
2:09:14nothing changes. It's just like they're
2:09:16just slightly more advanced frameworks
2:09:18that you that work better to run like
2:09:21more autonomously on another machine if
2:09:23that makes sense.
2:09:24>> Yeah, I feel like there's a huge
2:09:26opportunity for I think first steps is
2:09:29to become acclimated and understand the
2:09:31tools and do your own kind of personal
2:09:33OS. But it begs to ask like you know the
2:09:36question that everybody's asking next is
2:09:37like okay who owns those files? That's
2:09:40for the individual person. Is it for the
2:09:42person? Is it for the role in the
2:09:44company? And then is there like a
2:09:46separate infrastructure for a company?
2:09:49Like how is there, you know, someone
2:09:51works for a company, they're setting up
2:09:53all of these skills. Then what happens
2:09:54if they leave the company? Where do the
2:09:56skills go?
2:09:57>> Yeah, it it's like because this is so
2:09:59new. It's so messy right now. Like it's
2:10:01really this is all really simple at a
2:10:03personal level, right? Like you build
2:10:05skills, you connect your tools, you have
2:10:06your folders, and they just live on your
2:10:08computer where you work. It's simple.
2:10:09But yeah, it it it does start to get
2:10:11messy when you for example like trying
2:10:13to work with a team and you know someone
2:10:15builds like a stock forecasting skill
2:10:18and then now you know another team
2:10:20member wants to use it but it's on their
2:10:22computer and it's like well how do you
2:10:24give it your team member access? Oh well
2:10:26you could airdrop them the file but then
2:10:28you've got two separate copies and
2:10:29they're going to get out of sync fast if
2:10:31people are like making updates to them.
2:10:33So to answer your question like that
2:10:35there's there's a few ways you can kind
2:10:37of bootleg it with like tools like
2:10:39GitHub and and Google Drive and stuff,
2:10:41but there's no like real clean simple
2:10:44way that I've found yet to to
2:10:47effectively like manage skills across
2:10:50like team members and companies.
2:10:52>> There's a massive opportunity for
2:10:53somebody out there to create the
2:10:55technology that has that connective
2:10:56tissue where it kind of auto updates and
2:10:58it can share. For sure. There are some
2:11:00startups I've seen that are now starting
2:11:01to solve this with like shared skill
2:11:03management and there's a there are a few
2:11:05coming out now and I need to just sort
2:11:07of get my hands a bit dirty in that area
2:11:08of things but uh yeah in terms of like
2:11:11skill ownership like skills like assets
2:11:12for your company so it's it's a whole
2:11:14another conversation as to whether like
2:11:17I think every employee needs to be the
2:11:18ones building them because you know they
2:11:20do the task the best like they need to
2:11:23build the skills but then it's like if
2:11:24they're assets for the company are you
2:11:26going to just let them walk away with
2:11:28the skills bills when they leave or do
2:11:30you as a company own them? It's a
2:11:32difficult one. I can't say.
2:11:33>> Yeah. I feel like at a macro level like
2:11:34the you know the clawed MD file like
2:11:36that should be macro and uniform the
2:11:38stuff that doesn't change that we talked
2:11:39about like that should be kind of across
2:11:42the whole entire company as like the
2:11:43core input in whatever folder they're
2:11:45working in for the company. Yeah. But
2:11:47then once you start kind of going
2:11:48downstream on the skills I mean that's
2:11:50where like creativity and taste and like
2:11:52how you prefer things to be done. like
2:11:55some people, you know, want to work in X
2:11:57program, other people want to work in in
2:11:58this program. Some people, you know,
2:12:00need it in copy. Some people need it,
2:12:01you know, are a visual person. So, I
2:12:03feel like that's
2:12:04>> it is very tailored toward the
2:12:05individual human.
2:12:06>> Yeah, agreed. But, you know, I wouldn't
2:12:08get too ke if you're just starting, you
2:12:11know, just start just like build your
2:12:13own skills first and then worry about
2:12:14all the team management and other stuff
2:12:16like later. It's just cross that bridge
2:12:18when you're at it.
2:12:19>> Yeah. If you're out there listening, if
2:12:20you do even 10% of what we talked about
2:12:24today, you're in the 0.0000
2:12:261% of people that have graduated from
2:12:28chat uh everything else
2:12:30>> past that. So
2:12:32>> yeah, I think uh that's for another day
2:12:34that kind of that layer two with the
2:12:36open claw and and the themes and such.
2:12:39>> I mean, one other thing I wanted to
2:12:40touch on too is like every company right
2:12:43now needs to like push to become AI
2:12:44native. Like every company needs to like
2:12:47put AI at the forefront of like all
2:12:48their operations or they're going to
2:12:50lose to a company that does. It's like
2:12:52simple as that. And like I've kind of
2:12:55been trying to solve some of these
2:12:56problems for companies I work with about
2:12:58the best way to go about doing this. And
2:13:00there's two ways to go about it. And I
2:13:02and I and I think that one way is more
2:13:04correct than the other. So the first way
2:13:05is like you go top down, right? like you
2:13:08bring in some AI specialists into the
2:13:10company to like start building stuff and
2:13:13you know they like they can go and
2:13:14interview each department and sit with
2:13:16the employees and like try and build
2:13:17skills on their behalf or try and like
2:13:19build agents to take roles but it's like
2:13:24the employees the people that do those
2:13:25tasks they know it so well in and out
2:13:28and there's so much nuance to every task
2:13:30and if you wanted to bring AI
2:13:31specialists in to start automating this
2:13:32stuff they would need to understand so
2:13:35deeply every task that everyone in the
2:13:37entire company does they can never do
2:13:39that. So you either need a lot of people
2:13:41you need almost need like one per one AI
2:13:44specialist for each employee if you're
2:13:46trying to go the top down route where
2:13:47you build it and hand it to them and say
2:13:49here use it. I think the best way to get
2:13:52your company AI native is to get your
2:13:55employees trained up to be AI literate
2:13:57get them building their own personal
2:13:59operating system so then you can the
2:14:01goal is not to like fire your entire
2:14:02team. You want to keep your best people,
2:14:04train them so they can become like 100x
2:14:06employees. And then you can go on hiring
2:14:08freeze and continue to grow without
2:14:10scaling a headcount. And the way you can
2:14:13start to automate it is you instead of
2:14:14from the top down, you automate it from
2:14:16the bottom up. So you train your
2:14:17employees to become AIT. You get them to
2:14:19automate their own job essentially. And
2:14:22then you eventually like have this like
2:14:23you if you can think of like a a graph
2:14:25where it's getting like saturated, you
2:14:27know, the AI saturated
2:14:28>> infiltrates the whole entire company.
2:14:30Everyone's
2:14:30>> Exactly. That's probably like the best
2:14:32way to go about like trying to get your
2:14:34company Aative and there's all sorts of
2:14:35things there that I think work well like
2:14:37putting incentives around it. Like you
2:14:39can do like build weeks and
2:14:40competitions, you know, like running
2:14:42>> good idea
2:14:42>> things like you know best like skill of
2:14:44the month. Maybe you get your employees
2:14:45to start building skills and then it's
2:14:47like the best one wins like a cash prize
2:14:50$1,000. Like I think companies need to
2:14:52like just make AI like part of their
2:14:54culture. they need to have an AI call
2:14:55each week where people like sharing
2:14:56about what they've built and like really
2:14:58start to like bring that in as part of
2:15:00the company culture.
2:15:01>> I think it's a double-edged sword cuz
2:15:02some people, you know, the more they
2:15:04adopt, they feel like that they're
2:15:05digging their own grave to be fired. And
2:15:07that lens, you know, you have to talk
2:15:09about like what are actually skills that
2:15:11are going to do well in the new economy.
2:15:14I would disagree though on going two
2:15:16only. I would probably go a mix of path
2:15:18one and two. Like for me with iconic
2:15:21like I had like a a six-page document
2:15:24that it was let's just say 60% of it was
2:15:27uniform in nature of like asking all the
2:15:29appropriate questions like what do you
2:15:30you know what tools do you use? What are
2:15:32the processes that you already have?
2:15:33What are your bottlenecks?
2:15:34>> And then you're right that other 40% was
2:15:37100% tailored to that specific
2:15:40>> employee. Yeah. But with that being
2:15:41said, it's very tough like someone
2:15:43that's coming from the outside, they
2:15:45have to be
2:15:46>> very very versed in business to be able
2:15:49to pick up context fast or else it's
2:15:51going to take a very very long time. But
2:15:53I think
2:15:54>> that's the first thing that every
2:15:55operator out there should do should be
2:15:56like the download of just like
2:15:59>> what AI tools do you use? And right away
2:16:02you're going to get a pulse check on
2:16:03like where everybody's at. Yeah. And
2:16:05like just seeing that for my whole
2:16:07entire team, like that was a big shot in
2:16:09the arm to be like, "Wow, we got to like
2:16:11[ __ ] hurry up on this [ __ ] because
2:16:13with one, you will go faster. If you do
2:16:15just two, it's going to be slow." I
2:16:16think it's a mix between one and two.
2:16:18>> Yeah, I would agree with that. I would
2:16:19agree with that 100%.
Quickfire questions
2:16:20>> All right, this has been an amazing
2:16:21episode. Computers are down. Let's get
2:16:22into quick strike. Random questions.
2:16:24We're just going to rip off.
2:16:25>> Let's go.
2:16:26>> Give me what you're thinking. So, first
2:16:28skill everyone should build.
2:16:31>> Email inbox triage skill. Run that bad
2:16:34boy on a schedule three times a day.
2:16:36>> Clean your brain.
2:16:38>> Sorted.
2:16:39>> Too much noise. Biggest beginner mistake
2:16:42you see in AI.
2:16:43>> People being too perfectionist and too
2:16:46scared to start cuz they like don't want
2:16:48to screw something up. Like one of my
2:16:49buddies will shout if you're listening.
2:16:51They're like we want to use claw but
2:16:53like we're scared to even like type a
2:16:55prompt and we don't want to screw it up.
2:16:56And it's like you know cuz people kind
2:16:58of think see it as a black box. I don't
2:16:59know what's going on under the hood. But
2:17:01it's like just the biggest being mistake
2:17:03is just being too kind of scared to
2:17:06start so you don't like screw things up
2:17:07and trying to be too perfectionist about
2:17:09the whole thing.
2:17:09>> Ladies and gentlemen, if you had made it
2:17:10this far and you don't take action, you
2:17:13are a loser. One thing you automated
2:17:15this week most people would never think
2:17:17to.
2:17:18>> My laundry.
2:17:20>> That's that's kind of crazy. Most
2:17:22overrated AI tool right now.
2:17:25>> I'd say any AI app builders. lovable
2:17:27vault any of those and you just just do
2:17:30it in Claude like just create a new I
2:17:34say like just create a new project
2:17:35folder with your holding company call it
2:17:38website or app or whatever and then just
2:17:40start getting called to build it out in
2:17:42there it's like
2:17:43>> is not going to be signing with lovable
2:17:45anytime soon most underrated AI tool
2:17:47right now
2:17:48>> composio how long until a total beginner
2:17:51feels the productivity gain like
2:17:53realistically
2:17:54>> a few days a few is
2:17:57>> the task you'll never let an agent
2:17:58touch?
2:18:00>> Thinking
2:18:02and phone sales. [ __ ] AI voice sales
2:18:06agents.
2:18:07>> One MCP connection that changed the game
2:18:09for you.
2:18:11>> I'd say connecting Ampify with all the
2:18:13thousands of online scrapers. You can
2:18:15pretty much get anything.
2:18:16>> Finish the sentence. In two years, every
2:18:18founder will have a
2:18:22personal AI operating system.
2:18:24What is Obsidian and is it still
2:18:26relevant today?
2:18:27>> Obsidian is just a simple note-taking
2:18:30app that uses markdown which is the love
2:18:32language of AI. The agents love it as we
2:18:34covered earlier and a lot of people kind
2:18:37of build out their like I guess second
2:18:38brains or like that you know context
2:18:40folder that we built earlier. people
2:18:42just build like essentially a a
2:18:45version of that context folder but with
2:18:47hundreds or thousands of markdown files
2:18:49and they just use obsidian as kind of
2:18:51like the the layer to manage that I
2:18:54guess and I just think um I don't think
2:18:56it has its place. It's really good for
2:18:57like solo operators but as soon as
2:19:00you're trying to like have a setup where
2:19:02you want your company company and team
2:19:03members to access
2:19:04>> too
2:19:04>> those files too it's messy. I don't
2:19:06think it's I don't think it's needed
2:19:07especially for beginners.
2:19:09What is one skill that's changed the
2:19:11game for you?
2:19:12>> The Claude council skill. So, I found
2:19:15this by a guy called Ollie Leman on
2:19:17Twitter. And it's actually like my most
2:19:19viral video on Instagram talking about
2:19:20that skill. And you know, if you ask
2:19:23Claude for advice on something, if you
2:19:25say like, "Hey, why is this a good
2:19:26idea?" It's going to give you like a
2:19:27perfectly structured case as to why it
2:19:28is. And if you say like, "Why is this a
2:19:30bad idea?" It'll give you the same kind
2:19:31of case for why it's bad. And you know,
2:19:34why you can't trust Claude with
2:19:35decision-m. So this skill essentially
2:19:38spins up a bunch of different clawed
2:19:40sessions all given their own persona
2:19:43like a contrarian that's going to hunt
2:19:44for what goes wrong like an optimist
2:19:46five different complete personas to
2:19:48basically like give their thoughts on
2:19:50your question and then it gives it
2:19:52shuffles up their answers anonymously
2:19:54gives it to five fresh sessions that are
2:19:56like the peer reviewing agents to like
2:19:58give their thoughts on those answers and
2:20:00then finally it gives it into one new
2:20:02session which is like the chairman that
2:20:03like looks at all the final results and
2:20:06gives you the final verdict. I use it a
2:20:08lot for like decision making cuz it's
2:20:10just interesting to get like an extra
2:20:11perspective on it. I'll use it all the
2:20:13time but like hey should we add this
2:20:15feature or is it too soon or it's like
2:20:17what should I work on next on the
2:20:19project?
2:20:20>> Sounds amazing. Before I get into the
2:20:21last couple questions that I ask
2:20:22everybody I'd love to just kind of recap
2:20:24and end with like where should someone
2:20:27out there just start?
2:20:29>> Yeah. So think of this entire system as
2:20:32like something it it it grows with you
2:20:35and it will continue to grow and
2:20:37compound. And you just need to start by
2:20:38planting the seed. Just get your
2:20:40computer right now, create that folder,
2:20:43the holding company folder OS,
2:20:46start getting your context files built.
2:20:48Just open a fresh claw or chat GBT
2:20:50session and just say like help me build,
2:20:52you know, a bunch of markdown context
2:20:54files. We need like an about me, an
2:20:56ideal customer profile, a product,
2:20:59services information, uh you know, brand
2:21:01voice, and then interview me to extract
2:21:04all the answers from my brain and and
2:21:06build these documents. And then you add
2:21:07them into the folder
2:21:09and start. Here's the big thing. Connect
2:21:12your tools as well. That's actually
2:21:14could even be the first step. Cool.
2:21:16Tools and context you can get done in a
2:21:18few hours. And then from there, your
2:21:22goal is going to be to complete an
2:21:24entire workday from with inside Claude,
2:21:26whatever harness you're going to use.
2:21:28That's your first goal. And you know, it
2:21:31might be a little bit messy at the
2:21:32start, but you're going to then start to
2:21:34build skills. It's like if as soon as
2:21:35you go through a process with Claude
2:21:36like we did with the subject line skill,
2:21:38if you ask Claude to take a task off
2:21:40your plate and you know that you're
2:21:42going to have to ask that him to do that
2:21:44task again in in the near future or at
2:21:45least one or two more times, tell it to
2:21:47make a skill and then that's the place
2:21:49to start. You just start growing this
2:21:51system and you can only do that through
2:21:53like working with it. So get your your
2:21:55context files built, get that folder set
2:21:57up and your tools connected and just
2:21:59start completing a workday from with
2:22:01inside your your agent harness. He's
2:22:04challenged you. Let's do it, guys. Last
2:22:05three questions. Favorite book or
2:22:07podcast and why?
2:22:09>> My favorite book is The Alchemist. I
2:22:11don't know if you've read it.
2:22:13>> Polo Quello. I'm Brazilian, bro. Of
2:22:14course I do.
2:22:15>> Dude, I love that book. I've read it
2:22:16like four times.
2:22:17>> That's interesting.
2:22:18>> Yeah.
2:22:19>> What about podcast? You a podcast guy?
2:22:21>> Yeah, I'm a podcast guy. I like the My
2:22:23First Million podcast.
2:22:24>> Good guys.
2:22:25>> And the Open Residenc.
2:22:29>> They're guns, dude. They inspired me to
2:22:31start doing the newsletter. Like they
2:22:32they both crushed it with newsletters.
2:22:35>> Yeah. On the newsletter side. They're
2:22:36with Beehive as well, too.
2:22:37>> Yeah. Yeah. They they they've both
2:22:38exited their newsletters for like tens
2:22:40of millions, right?
2:22:41>> Yep. Sam on the hustle and then Sean on
2:22:43Milk Road, the crypto one.
2:22:45>> That was a quick one, too. Entrepreneur
2:22:47or brand that you want to give flowers
2:22:48to and why?
2:22:50>> Brand
2:22:52Composio. Dude, they're so good. Love
2:22:54Composio.
2:22:54>> I had never heard of Composeio until
2:22:56today. We most definitely are going to
2:22:58put that on steroids and put that on
2:23:00everything. So, I'm with you on that.
2:23:01What about a creator you want to give
2:23:02flowers to and why?
2:23:04>> Good question. Do you know Ask Cat GPT?
2:23:07>> Yeah,
2:23:08>> she's a beast, dude. Like inspired me to
2:23:10start creating content and yeah, she's a
2:23:12she's a beast at content and AI. Big
2:23:14inspiration for me.
2:23:15>> Love it, man. I hope everybody enjoyed
2:23:17this episode for the first time ever in
2:23:20Open Residency podcast history. I'm
2:23:22going to ask the Pay It Forward, guys.
2:23:23Share this with someone that you care
2:23:25about. Get people started in this game.
2:23:27This is definitely the most thorough.
2:23:28but we took a long time to really kind
2:23:30of orchestrate and outline what we're
2:23:31going to talk about. So, I hope you guys
