Claude, Skills & Agents: The Practical AI Guide

Thank you. [applause] Um, my mic's son. Great. How are we? Well, lucky for you guys, you get to spend the rest of your day with me speaking about AI. And I seen a lot of hands up there. Who here is like super confused around AI? Where to start? Everyone asks me all the time like, "Where do I start? Where do I start?" And by the end of today, my goal is going to be to break that down for you, give you clarity on where to start, not from social media influencers telling you where to start

that create content. Because that's probably one of my biggest uh things at the moment that I'm dealing with. I get business owners come to me and they're like, "Hey, I seen this AI tool on YouTube. This guy built it in 10 minutes. He made a billion dollars. He's living on the beach. Um, I want that." Um, and I say, "Great. That can't happen." He's like, "Yes, it can." Um, so that is most of my conversations these days with entrepreneurs being misled by uh social media. But I'm going to clear that all up for you really

simple, but also today is a selfish way to ask what you want for your business. So, who here has AI questions that they think might be silly or might not want to ask? It's okay. Yeah, good. There's no silly questions. It's fine. Um, when it comes to AI and people asking questions, sometimes they might think because it's just technical stuff that, you know, they don't want to ask it or it might be silly. It's okay. Um, I will break it down in simple terms. You will see some amazing drawings like this today. I'm very hands-on

with the drawing. Not that great. So, um, if you want me to break something down, the likelihood of me just breaking it down like that will be what I do. Um but open claw no one started with that. Just like a hands up here like how old is like the business range? Like people have been around for like 20 year old businesses 10 five. Okay. Sweet. Like really new businesses, startups. Okay, perfect. That just gives me a bit of a read on the room. Oh, sorry. Was that sweet? um on where to start because there's

a couple different places we can start. Businesses that have been around for, you know, 20 plus years have usually collected certain types of software along the way. Um and that's usually a good spot to start just to start clearing out some of those softwares. So, um what I'm going to start with today is explaining actually questions first before I kick into it. Has anyone got any like off the cuff questions? Hit me with it. There's more questions you ask me with, I'll tell you what you want. I've seen a lot recently like social media and

like scraping your page looking at your high performing posting all that kind of [ __ ] and like similar what you said Like oh like set it up my friends like figure out how to get that social media to like help with like the ideation process, the scripting and like all that kind of [ __ ] Done. I can answer that for you. And that's a really good question because at the moment one of the most hottest popular topics is everyone transitioning from chat GBT to Claude and especially in like the past like at least

three weeks I've seen a massive transition especially in Australia where everyone's going yeah Claude use Claude use Claude but no one's going okay this is exactly what you need to do. This is where you need to start. So to answer your question around the content creation, there's Manis AI, there's Claude. Um, for me personally, I would just use Claude. And the reason why is a lot of these platforms come out. This week, Gemini has got an update. Next week, ChatGpt's got an update. Next week, it's Claude. And what happens is if you're building tools on

ChatG, Gemini, and Claude, you're all like in this constant loop. And if you're trying to be on that constant loop and keep up with the best AIs and use the best AI models, you're not going to get anywhere. I've seen business owners waste weeks and months trying to create agents and tools. I would just stick to Claude code. It is literally the most efficient one, smartest one for business owners to use. If anyone here doesn't actually have it and you went on there and just started asking it to break down your business and go through

it just out of the box Like the level of like how smart it is is like with zero prompting it's like 10 times better than chatg. I don't even know I don't even know the last time I used chat gpt because if I go over there and ask it a question it's like yay you're great thank you and I'm like that's not what I asked. Um so it's just not that great of a model. business owners, there's another really good feature on Claude um that I would be using. It's an Excel spreadsheet. I know that's

super basic, but just knowing the demographic in the room here, Excel spreadsheets probably everyone is used to playing with it. Claude connected using um Excel spreadsheets to create whatever you want is an absolute like whiz at that. So that's maybe for like the businesses that have been around for a while because I know you probably run a lot of stuff on Excel spreadsheets. um who actually runs stuff on Excel spreadsheets. Perfect. I I I went to a business in Brisbane. I think it was just before Christmas and this is a story and this is the

level that it gets to. We went into this business and we're looking through the finances and going through everything and our job was to come in and balance everything for a month and obviously we're going through the Excel spreadsheet and it had a little 25 at the bottom and our job is to bring everything up to scratch because they're trying to bring their numbers and I was like you're pretty close and she was like no it's 25 million for the month and they were out and I was like oh [ __ ] that's why they

need AI but they had been running they're like a old old business they've been running their their business on Excel spreadsheet for so long still am now and it's like massive corporate business. So, anyone that's still running Excel spreadsheets, It's okay. You're not outdated. Uh we still use it today for any AI automations and systems. It's easy to use. Um but to circle back to your question for content creation and ads, it's clawed code in the terminal. I know this I'll break this down in a minute. You can create Facebook ads on there. You can

create content. You can message people on Facebook. Whatever you want from there. um Manis AI to answer that question is a really good app but it's really just for like Facebook it is great but you can do everything in cloud code so maybe does that answer your question and have you got any follow-ups yeah I guess that was the part that tripped me up when I was like looking into it was like the terminals and like trying to get like the API keys and figuring out like how to connect like Instagram to that and I

just saw that [ __ ] and I was like yeah no I'm not doing this yeah it's pretty hard like you're not going to know like it's very hard the easiest way if like super non-technical and you want a quick fast fix, yes, Manis would be amazing to do that. But if you're looking to actually build and integrate these systems, your business, build agents, voice agents, whatever it may be, automations, just use Claude Code. I have a friend that rings me, he's like 50, owns a bunch of restaurants. He rings me every week. He's like,

"Hey man, what do we use?" I'm like, "Claw code, brother." I said, "I told you last week." And he's just it's it's not going to change. I don't see it changing for a while. And is clog code like a lot of people are getting like the Mac minis. Lot a lot of people are getting like the Mac minis like to you know is that where you put like claw code on or is that different than open claw great question who's seen open claw or people buying Mac minis okay like shoot me but don't mind back

Mac mini it is a complete waste of money I had a lady last night um very wealthy in Sydney ring me it was like 8:00 she's like hey I'm just about to buy 10 Mac minis let's get all this stuff set up and I was like no no no no do not buy 10 Mac minis it is a waste of money. I know that everyone on the internet is saying buy a Mac Mini, but it is a complete Do you want me to break that down for you as to why a Mac Mini is a

waste of money for this process? I just trust you. So, yeah, I can if you want, but yeah, I I had another friend of mine in Sydney like just when I was coming in here ring me and ask me the same question. I owns a big development company and he's like, "Hey man, you know, I need to sort these Mac minis out. I'm about to buy some online. Um, can you come down and sort those out for me next week?" And I was like, "Nope." Um, do not do it. So, um, but to explain for

everyone in like non kind of technical world because and if any of this [ __ ] has gone over your head, just put your hand up and just be like, I have no idea what you're talking about. That's perfectly normal. Sweet. I had a guy yesterday in my office, right? Um, he's actually Koshi's accountant. He's like 80 or no, actually, may maybe not 80. He might be 70. Um, and he obviously w I didn't know he was coming. He walked in the door and I'm like, "Shit, this is going to be a hard day." Um,

but he absolutely crushed it. I mean, he was on Claude Code terminal Building agents, going for everything by the end of the day. And he didn't even have an amazing computer. He had one of these Lenox ones. It was so And I was I looked at my developers. I was like, "Look, you boys, I got to bring it home today." Um, because I don't know how we're going to get that working on that machine. But they did. and he was actually like crushing it out. So for anyone out there thinking they're no techsavvy, you'll be

fine. Um if he can figure it out, it's he's an old school accountant and he was on there like building automations and agents and stuff like that. So don't be scared of it. It's okay. You're going to have to jump in the deep end. Um yeah, any questions from then? Anything else? Yeah, shoot it at me. what the capabilities are. Sometimes you don't know what you don't know quite often actually. [clears throat] And so I wonder what is um what are the limitations or what's possible with Claude AI? Um for instance, can it do apps?

Can it do websites? All that stuff. Yeah, great question. And let's break that down with one of my amazing drawings. um up here. So, what we're going to do is I'm going to try to visually explain this to everyone. And don't ask me to spell anything too. I had one of my friends the other day in a workshop and he knows that I can't spell great and he asked me to spell it out on the thing. So, for anyone trying to be a smartass. Um, so I'm going to Explain this, right? And So imagine this

is your terminal or a chat like chat GBT. Everyone's used to just using chat GPT in the chat. Yep. You know what that is? You type in there, you say, "Hey, type this email out for me." You know, tell these people whatever you want to say. Claude is exactly the same. It's just a different AI model. Yeah, if I would just cross this out, I'll just say chat GPT. Sweet. Everyone on par with that. Great. Claude code in the terminal. It's like who remembers like jailbreaking a phone or remembers that kind of Yeah, everyone should.

Um I know the age demographic in here. Don't you guys lie to me. Um so it's going to be jailbreaking a phone. It's the same process. It's just on your computer and it's like jailbreaking this so it has no guidelines in kind of do with it what you want, right? So, everyone's fleet with that. Same model. This is just like the little app that you have on the phone. This is just on your terminal on your computer. Same kind of thing. Looks like an app. Maybe a couple little extra buttons and a little bit more

technical. Um, but the reason why this is so important and so great is we can download skills and you can still do it on here as well for anyone that's already got Claude. But when you have it in the terminal, it's a lot more powerful because you can do a lot more with it. So to answer your question with that, what you can do with it is build apps, you can build websites, you can build any kind of software you want. We want to build a lot of people I seen yesterday were building like calculators

on their websites and stuff. You know, someone puts in this measurement or that measurement that spits them out like a a pricing calculator. Those things used to cost like 40 grand for someone to build. Um where people will be like, "Okay, hey, I want a like a bathroom guy like I want a pricing calculator on my website." So when people come on there, they can press some buttons and get a quote of exactly how much their bathroom would be. You can do that on code. Might take you a little bit of prompting, a little bit

of understanding. Um, but what you do is you can download skills. So, let's say you want a skill to create Facebook ads. You can go type into the chat in here and you can say, "Hey, find me a skill that creates Facebook ads." And it will go on the internet and there's a thing called GitHub. And just imagine GitHub is just like Google Drive for example, but on there it's just like the internet for computer geeks to spread out and just share all of their files. We're still on the same page. Am I explaining this

like simply enough so everyone kind of understand it? Okay, cool. I can go like even like more simple if we need. So if anyone's having trouble and going through it, just let me know. So GitHub, all of these skills are stored on there. There's so many things on there that people just like free software that people use to build stuff. We got a Zoom question. What does in the terminal mean? Great. So in the terminal means this is like an app you download. In the terminal is you're going on your computer. There's like a little

terminal. It might show up, you know, like the Matrix style where it's all like the code and everything like that. That's a terminal on your computer. So it's just like the code in your terminal um as well. So that's what the terminal is. Everyone's afraid of the terminal terminal because they don't know what it is. It looks scary, but it is very simple and easy to use. So um it's just a different interface I guess to speak with. It just doesn't look let's say if you're on chat GBT up here and terminal. This one is

for like coders and developers. It doesn't look all fancy and nice and like you know safe to play with or anything like that. There's all these buffers and stuff on it. It's just the same thing just with a coded back. Is that sweet? Yeah. On your on your computer, it's called terminal. Does every computer have Every computer just has a terminal no matter what. Um, but just type in terminal on your computer. What do you What have you got? A Mac. Asus. Asus. Throw it in the bin. No, jokes. It'll be on there. [laughter] Sorry,

I got a question. Uh, two at the back. Yeah. So, another one from Zoom. Um, this actually be pretty helpful for a lot of people, I think, [clears throat] in the room. So, someone on Zoom has built a lot of custom tools inside chat GPT that they have given to clients in their programs. How do they go about me like converting over to Claude or another LLM? Sell them on marketplace. No, no, no. That's fine. So, if you go into Claude um now today and you create a subscription and you have chat GBT because Claude

is really cheeky and smart, they've actually just created a setup where you can just integrate everything from chat GBT over into Claude. Um so hopefully that answers your question. It is easy. Um yeah, sorry, we've got another question. [clears throat] Uh there are so many rumors about the security behind it like with open claw. Uh that's actually something that uh took me away to proceed with the open claw. So like as a business owners should we be aware of that at this stage or not really with and we're talking two different things. So open claw

is what you're talking about open claw. Yeah, open claw and clawed code obviously two different things, but I to answer your question, open claw is the thing that everyone's going viral with at the moment. I'm going to draw on this board. Um, I don't want to ruin my drawing over there, [clears throat] but let's go with So, Open Claw is a Mac Mini and let's just try draw the actual like that's not what it looks like, but let's just say this is the open claw. It's a open source. It's an open- source model. So, who

knows what that means? Okay, that's fine. It's not that. Don't worry about it too much. Uh, sorry. Is there a question there, too? Yeah. Open claw is So, I'll answer that question on the fly, too. So, it was called clawbite and then it was called open claw and now it's called opusclaw, I think, or something. It's called open claw now. But they change the name because that company over there um sent them a message saying it's too close to their name. So they had to change it straight away. But this is an open-source model. So

it means that it's just like an app that a guy built and you can all all own it and use it for free and use it as you want. We on the same page. Sweet. Only if you have a map. No. No. That's Don't listen to those people. Whoever's saying that just tell them shush. Um, and yeah, that's influencers. Don't listen to them, please. That's fine. Um, they're just trying to get the likes. It's all good. Um, this is a on the reason why you don't need a Mac Mini, waste of money, cuz it's $1,000

of waste. And to be actually, this is a really good hot tip for everyone. Mac Minis are going to be on marketplace soon. So, if you want to upgrade your computer, I would I'm waiting for that. My whole team is going to get a fresh new computer and a bunch of things because I feel like these are people are going to be selling them. Um, so anyone who wants to update their stuff, just they'll be online soon. Um, so I I was saying this to my friend the other day. He's like going on about I'm

like I I can't wait for this. Um, there's going to be so many computers online. I can have one on my TV at home at the office. Um, it'll be perfect. But you don't need this is open claw. It's an app. Just pretend like I have an app and I'm not paying you for it and you can just take it. That's what Open Claw is. And what happens is everyone's saying you need a Mac Mini to run it, but you don't. You can just run it on an online server. I have an online server. I

have like nine of these little things on there. I deleted them because they're just Chewing up my time. Um, but I did want to see what it was about and make sure that it was the right thing. So, business owners watching content, open claw, don't worry about it. Okay, [laughter] just we'll go back over here. Um, cl does that answer, sorry, does that answer your question? And and also the safety question too. Apologies. The safety question on open claw at the start, yes, it was real rogue. Um, but like to be fair, to be honest,

it it has gotten a lot better. And to be honest, like for me using open core, I'm fine. I'll rinse that out all day and use it really well. But if you're just graduated from Chat GPT and you're going over here, good luck. A Mac Mini. It's like a burger. No, no, no. It's not No, no, it's not. It's It's a computer. So, um, at Apple, right, they've got these little $999 Apple computers. They're really small and they're actually a really gun computer. Like besides all of this, the actual computer itself is amazing. So anyone

here has got a MacBook, um it's just that without the screen, it's just like a little box. It's perfect. It's a really good computer. You just need a screen. So code. Yeah. Yeah. Claude code. I can actually spell too. So I can spell that one. So Claude code notification shows in the app store. Is that what it's called? That's it. Yeah. You'll see it in the um app store. Oh, no. Sorry. It won't be on the app store. You'll have to go on the internet and download it. So, oh, it won't be called Claude code.

Sorry. It'll just be That's what I need to know. Thanks, Claude. And it's like a little asterisk like that. Okay. Claude code is just Claude. We just if like you're a technical person, you just say Claude code. Um but just Claude is fine. Um every we're all sweet with that side of it. No more questions. It's It's like a orange little like star. Can't miss it. Okay, we went on a bit of a circus, but we're back to the terminal. All right, so sorry to go off banter, but if you're over there with the open

claw stuff, just don't worry about it. Um, and I'll break down why it's not great after this. So, we're back to Claude. Claude code app same as chat GPT terminal on your computer. The reason why it's on your computer is it's so you can actually it can control your computer. So if you want to go on browsers, if you wanted to go through your files, you wanted to send someone a nasty email all in capitals, it could go do it. Okay. Um and that's why you can download skills connectors. Um GitHub is just like the

Google Drive where all the nerds put their stuff. Um it's a really great spot. Then down here there is I won't explain that bit maybe. Um but to explain the question that was asked here earlier on. Sorry we've gone I'm really good at like lubing the background. So anyone that asks a question I'll I'll circle it back. Um don't worry. So to answer your Question what you can build um and I'll get I'll hit you one in a second to answer your question. Apps yes. Um, automations, yes. Connecting it up to software, yes. And you're

probably like, I have no idea what that means, but I'll explain it in a second. If you wanted to build an app for your business, if you download the right skills, which are free on Claude Code, it's just now this little AI knows those skills to build the apps. Um, and the list goes on. Like this list would probably go, it's very long. I run out of paper. Um, apps is just like normal kind of stuff. The real power for business owners. No one wants that drawer and we're okay to go on the next one.

Um, the real power for business owners is really going to be in your Chrome browser now or Safari, whatever computer you got. But to just imagine that's your little claude code terminal there. You're chatting to it. Um you know telling it what you want. It can go on the internet. So let's use a hard one. Zero zero for who has zero accounting software? Yeah me. I love it but I hate it because they don't let us connect to it um that much. And that's why we use the browser. So last week um I was going

through it and my Accountant was asking me to do all these things and I was like no I'm not going to do that. Um so I got my agent I was like go through have a look at all those things because there's a lot of uh transactions and payments on there for things that I've spent money on. Um and I don't know where they are. He no one knows where they are and he needs an answer or a note written on there. So I might go on to my browser, log in. I'll give my details

and start going through this and then filling that all out for me. Does that make sense? So, this goes on and on and on for different types of software. Um, and the list goes on, but that's Claude and then you give it the skill to roam the internet which you can download and then it can go do these things and it's the same process for like Facebook ads, social media, anything like that. Sorry, now we'll hit another question just here. Yeah. Yeah. So, I see a lot of people online um adding their Instagram account to

Claude and they do a whole audit on their on their Instagram and content and everything. So, how do they do that? Same thing that that's Claude. It's just going on the internet because your um you know your URLs there you just it'll probably say, "Hey, what's your you know Instagram handle?" It'll go through look up your Instagram like exactly like you would on the actual computer. You type it in, it'll type it in the browser and then it'll look it up and then it'll go through. You can have a look at your photos, have a

look at your images, everything like that. Tell you like, you know, two trolls left a bad message, whatever it is. So, because sometimes when you type it says that it doesn't read the link. So, you mean on the code cloud code when I I put the browser there on here on clude code? No, you're not going to have that problem. Okay. Like, and if you do, this is I had this yesterday. We I was setting some stuff up and they wanted something um and the AI this CL code terminal just said no like you know

this is what you need to do and I was like no you tell it just like do it for me I'm not touching it and then it did and then it went on and figured it out. Um the reason why is in Claude code terminal it can build its own skills really well. So, if you're like, "Hey, I'm not doing that." You need to figure it out. And it needs to build a scraping tool to scrape your Instagram handle and see count exactly how many comments you have. Yes, it'll go do that. So, that's it's

just like prompting it. It'll come back and say, "No, like this or it'll just say here, this is what you do. Here's the instructions." And then you just say, "No, I ain't doing nothing. You just roll on." Um, does that answer your question? Yes, definitely. Yeah. And then for ads is the same thing. Same thing. Claude code terminal. You download a skill. It'll ask for your login. There'll be a couple questions. It's like chat GBT is coming back. Um it'll be like, okay, what do you want? Asks for your login details and stuff like that.

Or sometimes it'll just open a Chrome browser on your screen and it'll be like, hey, the Chrome browser is open. You should have got an authentication code. You need to put it in there. And you if you just keep asking that terminal, hey, I don't know what I'm doing. Just keep doing it for me. Keep doing just like play like you've never even touched a computer before. And you just say, hey, I don't know how to do that. You do it for me. If you just keep saying that, it'll get to a point where it

tries to figure it out so far where you might just have to do one step. And I've tried that many times just as a joke. Great. Thank you. Um, so questions the back. Oh, we'll start at the back and we'll Can I just get one? Oh, Jesus Christ. I don't need that. [laughter] Can I get one clarification? Um, so you don't actually need to link Claude up to all of these things. You're saying it will just use your computer, go through, maybe occasionally ask you for a login, but if you got most of your login

saved, it'll probably just go straight in there and do it. Yeah. Okay, that's fine. So, when you download a skill, sometimes part of that skill is it'll go through that process of like trying to log into your accounts. Um, as well, who uses like Google here, like the Google Suite, Gmail? Those Microsoft people here, the Google people are really lucky. Um, I'm just going to leave a little note here. This is permanent marker. I won't write on Your whiteboard um to explain this later. Um, sweet. We'll roll on to a couple more questions. Oh, we'll

go here and then we'll go. Yeah, sorry. Oh, yeah. We'll just say so that guys online. You do um does it give you content that doesn't look fake? Yes. If you Oh, no. No. If you have the right skill, it'll be fine. Um so to give you an understanding of that as well, it's the same process. So you have like your claude code in a terminal. If you're going to create like social media posts, Instagram or whatever it may be, you would actually go through and download that skill again. And then the thing that you

can use in claude code is because just imagine this is claude code here. But who knows what nano banana is. I know that sounds like this crazy name. Um but nano banana is Google's image model. Um and they go that's not hairsp banana. That's fine. Um nano banana 2 is an AI model. Okay. So, we're not talking like actual bananas for everyone. Uh, it's just like an AI model like Claude, but it's just Google's one and it creates images. So, when you're in here in the terminal and you download the skill, you would well I

would use a nano banana AI model to Create the skill. We're not losing everyone too much. We're sweet. Okay. Um, but yeah, the reason why is this this model is really good at creating images, carousels, whatever you want. um from claude code. If you wanted to download another skill to take those and post them, you can. So, it goes like like all the way like you can do a lot with it. Like I give some people this yesterday and they're like, I don't know what I got, but I know it does a lot of stuff

and they were they were excited. So, I'm excited to see what happens in the next couple weeks. But that's kind of like the stacking of it. And then in a lot of other softwares like let's say if you're using chat GPT you can't just go hey go and use nano banana to create me an image it's going to use their model. That's why this this thing is really powerful because it's not just confined to like one platform. Sweet. Okay. Well we'll start over. Yeah. Hold up. Hold up. Oh, sorry. Practically to get skills, would you

say you wanted to analyze zero as a CFO? It's like, hey, could you go get a skill as CFO and then log into Zero and then analyze whatever? Yeah. Create a skill for me. Yeah. You can get it to create skills and also look for skills, right? You need to be specific. Do you need to go, hey, go find the skill? Yeah. Yeah. Just say, hey, go find a skill. Or if you do something and then like you like imagine now you like do chat Gvt and you might write an email or per se and

you're like okay great that looks nice the way that it was flow was really good. You can go to court and say hey create that skill and then you can all say now do that every day at 7 a.m. which is a different thing which is what we're going to talk about later. So the skills uh are we call it? So skills you can make them and can find them. Okay, does that answer your question? I always look to find them just cuz I'm okay. I'm just curious to see what people build. It might save

me 20 minutes of explaining what to do. Um but if you just type in there, you don't need to like do anything fancy. Just say, hey, I'm looking for a skill to do X, Y, and Z. Um that's really it. Or if you're doing something very technical that might just suit your business or what you're doing, your daily workflow or whatever it is, and you like what you did, just for example, like you made a Instagram carousel, like an explainer video with some nice drawings on it, like maybe like some little pictures. You're like, "Okay,

that looks really good. It's got my branding on it. It's got everything on it." Save that as a skill. Um, and then it will save that into its memory file. Sweet. Okay. Well, next question. That that answer. Hey mate. Um, I run software called Aeroflow, which is a like a you know that. Yeah. So, if I was to build a whatever we call it, an agent or whatever to go into my arrow flow and see any quotes that are outstanding, can it follow up on my behalf? Yep. So, through cord code and arrowflow is actually

not a bad software. I I've had Aeroflow myself and used it many times. Um it is quite easy to connect to and it is like a software that I like it. They're from Melbourne. Those guys I think it's a pretty savvy software. Um they're pretty onto it. It's not like Yeah, I like it. So yes, yeah. So imagine you were just in Claude Code um terminal. You would have to obviously log in or everything like that and with login. Yeah. in the Arrowflow login. Um, and then you'd be like, "Hey, I need you to log

into my Aeroflow. Log in." Um, it might need to build that skill because it might not have done that before, but that's when I would look for that skill. Hey, have a look on the internet to see if there's any skills for Aroflow and it'll pull it up and be like, "Hey, these are these skills someone's built." But if it hasn't, you can just say, "Hey, we're going to go through um, I need you to log in, have a look at, you know, this page. There's like some quotes there and stuff like that and Figure

it out." Once you've figured out, plan around and you're like, "Okay, there should be 20 quotes there. Um, you know, sitting haven't been quoted up or something like that, um, that's when you can say, "Okay, great. Now, I want you to do that every morning and check up those quotes and then send them a follow-up email." Does that make sense? solutions. Yeah, that's easy to do. That's probably um a pretty uh easier one to do. It is actually easier than what you think. I And you know, you're on Outlook. Yeah. Okay. It might not be

that easy for you. Now, Outlook is just that you can do it. Outlook is just not that friendly. Uncle Bill Gates is not that great at letting everyone connect to it. Um, he just he's just not like that. He's not up to sharing. Um, so he's just not going to do it. And it's it's really hard in that instance. Like Google, for example, does the thing I was talking about before, which is like a I lost the pen. It's called a CLI. We like hooking that CLI up to um Claude. It's like we can just

It's like one shot. Like, hey, go look through my emails. everything from the last like 20 minutes. It's like perfect every time. Can you do it in Can Yeah, you can definitely do it. It'll just be a bunch of building skills. So, what I mean by the CLI, Now we're talking like skills before, right? Just don't worry about the fancy CLI name. Just pretend Google made a legit skill for AI agents to use their platform. So, like before we'd have to use things like API keys. Um, for anyone wondering what API key, it's just like

a a bit of string that goes from one software to another software. Um, but they built an actual it's we call CLI. It's just a really good connector to the whole ecosystem that includes YouTube, which I didn't figure out until yesterday. And this came out like maybe 10 days ago. Um, that's why I know Google is just like so easy to use for that stuff. Sorry. Sorry. Uh we'll go shoot one at the at the back. Sorry. And then we'll come back to the to the mid mid ground here. We'll work we'll do a lot.

Look, what I wanted to ask is that um I've tried manners and I kept running out of the same. Yes, it does. But you are in luck. You are in luck cuz you were here today. I've got some great news for you. Um, no. So, to answer your question, like all of these AI models run on credits, right? So, anyone that's had a chat GBT account. If you were using chat GBT like as an AI model, you have to have an API key, which costs money. It's just like a, you know, a prepaid phone. So,

when you're on Manis, depending on your plan, you might have a $50 plan. You're only Going to get so many credits. The same is with Claude Code, right? Uh or Claude, just call it Claude. It's the same. But the thing is, like let's say the $60 plan um it's going to be you're probably going to get away with that. I've got a $320 plan maybe. Um on mine, this here is probably enough for everyone here. This here is for me um using. So, if you're getting a cord plan, I like this plan. There's one that's

like a $200 one. As a business owner, I think that's the best money spent on on an app or a subscription. And then to circle back and answer your question, Claude, yes, the tokens, but because they're an American company, for the next like I don't know how long it is, like few months or whatever it may be in their downtime at nighttime, the tokens are half price. So, and that came out the other day. So all of us developers and it works out perfect for our time zone because we like developers like everywhere around the

world and the boys during the day here have literally just been absolutely like trying to build whatever they can because all the tokens are half price. Um so anyone in Australian time zone is like perfect cuz everyone was laughing about it um this morning. So that's a little hot tip. So for the next couple months if you want to build an app go to cord and it's probably going to cost you half the amount. Thank you. The other thing I wanted to ask if you comfortable if it could be possible my computer if We could

do like a live on how to connect those I can try it might be a little hard. What kind of computer do you have? Uh old one new one like how old? Maybe show show us maybe if you I can do it. If you just show me a computer, I'll tell you in like one second. The only reason why is because it'll take so long to load. Um, and it'll be like Well, I don't have that much. You can close everything. Um, how about this Mac? It might if you do me a favor while we're

talking, you download an app called Claude Code. Uh, Claude just in a desktop. Okay. and I'll try and do it at the end. How's that sound? And I'll show you. Um, sorry. Was there any more questions at the front here? Sorry, I might have. Yep. You mentioned before about being able to convert everything from Yeah. Um, so if I've got my program and templates and everything, am I converting them to PDFs and transferring them or is there a simple solution to do that? Claude, these people are just like really really great at just making everything

easy. When you Log in there, they'll just ask you to like log into your chat GBT account. There's just like a connector and it just pulls everything over. Like they've like made it like so simple that you can't mess it up. We did it yesterday um with one of the other um people that were just asking that same question and they just did it like there on the spot. Amazing. So yeah, it takes like it might take a little bit but it's not too bad. Um I'm on the website. Um there's a free, there's a

pro, there's a max and you were talking about tokens earlier. Yeah. Um so if I want to learn skills, I want cloud to learn skill and build you know things, what which one should I use? I think there's one that's around 160 or 200 is there on there? Max is it might be in US on there. Yeah, I think it I think it works out to be AUD. It might be 180 or something like that for this max plan. Um I I'm I just know because I can remember seeing it on my um thing, but

it'll be like you can start on this plan. There's nothing wrong. All that's going to happen is it's going to say, "Hey, you're out of credits today." Um I don't know if you've seen the memes, but there's like memes like, "Hey, I'm out of credits." And guys are out like fishing and stuff and then they run back in the office. Um but yeah, That that's like start small plan. Only thing though with Claude is if you're on this account, you won't get other tools like co that's not how you spell cooworker but that's called coworker.

Now what co-worker is is just a software like claude code over there like the terminal thing that just goes on your computer and does things. See it's really good though. Like if you're like non-technical and don't want to get scared around the whole AI stuff, just start here in the actual app and then you can graduate over to terminal. Is that sweet? Still same thing. Just like just pretend that's like jailbroken. You know, the guard rails are off. Let's make whatever you want. Sweet. Thank you. Let me step back just a little bit and pretend

you're explaining things to a 5-year-old. [snorts] Yeah. Done. Done. What is a skill and how long does it build to take? How how long does it take to build? Yeah. So, a skill, right, is let's say if to tell you how long it takes probably. It's a hard one. No, one minute max. Like, it literally it's not going to take long. Um, but if you've got like a really old computer, Um, it's going to take a long time because it just takes long. But not even that long, probably 30 seconds really to create a skill

and then to break it down and tell you exactly what it is. So a skill is a it's like a prompt. Who knows what prompts are? Everyone knows what prompts are. Hey, like create this. It's exactly the same thing, but skills are much more like refined way way clearer structures in the actual skill itself. It's got like multiple files, multiple documents, it's got rules, it's got like a nice like but the skill itself is, I guess, formatted in a way so the AI can read it. So if you give a AI like a PDF, it's

not really designed to read a PDF. It's not like that. A skill is like a bunch of code in the background that AI can read really easily and do that perform that skill every day. So the skill might be um send out a welcome email to everyone that applies for a job with me every time. It knows that okay last week you sent out that email um and it looked exactly like this with the name and everything. So you don't have to tell it again. Is that sweet? Sweet. Done deal. Okay. I like it. Uh

we we'll roll down this way a little bit. Is there any more questions on this side? I think there's a couple if we keep it rolling. Um can I upload a video from YouTube in there and ask it to apply the skill that that YouTuber has taught? Yes, you can. Um and this is what I was talking about. watch YouTube values and I upload that into maybe without code. I just did normal cord. It said it couldn't do it, but I could upload the transcript. Then I asked it to create my social media posts with

that trinity of value concept. But then there's other features that would be great if you could upload the actual video. Yeah. um you know the easiest way to do this and this is not like this l this is a little thing that CLI thing I was talking about before like the Google's like skill like this is maybe a week not even that um just come out for us when we were building these stuff like we built a lot of these like tools that they just gave us skills I guess just skills that Google gave us

like hundreds of hours of like development and they just popped them out there and they're like have fun and I was like okay [ __ ] but Um it's really really good and to answer your question about YouTube because Google is owned by YouTube. Now if you download this skill right it can go on you can just drop an act this is in a terminal not in the um not on the actual app. It can go through grab that YouTube video and just Transcribe the whole lot. And it can also go and create actual um

shorts from it too if you really want. But that's a little bit of a harder skill. we won't try to play with today. Um, as well because it's all in the Google ecosystem, it can grab that video, put it into Google Drive, download it, and then it can go through and chop it all up, but it can also transcribe everything as well. So, it's still the transcript going in. Yeah, it's a transcript. So, yeah. Does that And then you can build a skill from that. You can go, okay, grab that YouTube video, download the transcript,

and then create me skills based off everything in there. I do this all the time for this is how I built my accounting one out. I got it to go through and grab a bunch of like accounting videos off YouTube because obviously if you anyone that's ever tried to download the uh taxation uh documents and paper my AI wigged out and it was like there is like like like somewhere 180 documents and it's just scattered out everywhere. They're all over different softwares and websites. It pretty much told me it's confusing and I was like, "Well,

great." Because it is confusing for me and if you can't figure it out, it's no wonder no one else can anyway. Um, but I went on to YouTube and I got a bunch of videos of like obviously accountants and people talking about it. Um, and I used that to kind of like make my AI a little bit smarter. Thank you. Little hack. Uh, we'll go down the back. I think there might have been one and then we'll we'll shoot over here. Um, so I am now a converted. I was using chat. Um, I'm an author

and I have actually been teaching other authors how to use AI for editing purposes. So it doesn't rewrite the work for you, but it develops the report for you. But I found that with manuscripts over like 150,000 words, checkers really confused. It can give like really detailed reports up to like 20 But after that it just slides off into editing sections. So I'm wondering whether there's a limitation on the size of project that you can use that like being able to read large context in clawed like the actual app itself like the normal chat like

just chat GPT but claude chat might have its limitations but if you go to claude code would be very long and if you were having problems with it you could say, "Hey, I'm obviously giving like, you know, 600 pages of documents here. We need to build a skill so that you can understand everything." It will probably break that down into like a a readable document. They you like, let's say, if you're putting a PDF in there, the AI model is not really going to be that great at reading the PDF. So, it'll create a skill

to obviously get around that so it can understand the whole uh context. Does that make sense? It does. And the followup question from that is a lot of authors I work with will be using Amazon ads. Um yeah, Amazon ads through the KDP program. Absolutely hate ads. Very very difficult, very very confusing. Could assess a manuscript and then create ads from it and then run that through Amazon with the correct skills. I know everyone's gonna hear me and they know I'm gonna say yes, but yes, it is. It is. Yeah, you definitely do. I haven't

tried that, but the chances of it not being able to do that are pretty much zero. It would just mean that you would have to go through that process of like trying to build that skill out understanding it. It would obviously log on to your computer um and then you can kind of explain what you're trying to do. Like, hey, go on to my Amazon ads. Um I've got a couple campaigns in there. I've created them. I have no idea what they're doing. Uh can you assess them for me and just tell me what's going

on and tell me how to fix them? You have just saved my life. That's all right. No worries. I do it every day. That's all right. Uh yeah, sweet over here. [clears throat] Hopefully I'm not keeping this too boring for you guys. I know tech can be a little bit I could talk to you all day about this. I'll be honest. Everyone can stop this. Um I've got a couple of [clears throat] questions. First one is about hallucination rates. Do you know what that is currently with cord and is that improving? I've not really had

any problems with it. I think that's everyone that uses chat GBT. I haven't even thought of that For I don't even know how long. Um because I stopped using chat gypsy a long time ago. So yeah, I don't even I forgot that that happened. Cool. And the next question was can you download a knowledge database from say various different spoken various different sources like um documents and YouTube and then actually form like a cheap GP brain of that person's skills to be able to then talk to the GPT and ask questions of it. Yeah. And

a followup question which might actually apply the same answer is can you then hook that up to an AI avatar and 11 Labs for them to actually talk to you over an interface if you had legal approval to make their likeness. You can do it and everyone's doing it anyway. So don't worry about the legal approval. Um there'd be heaps of people trying to do that stuff and sell it online which I did this like years ago. I think I grabbed all Mozy's books and stuff and I just put it into an AI model because

I was asking a questions like leads, you know, all of his books. I like those things and just help me break down little questions. Um, but to actually it goes back to this exact same. If I was to do that right now, I would go back to that CLI Google skill, download it so that you can get access to the Google, which is YouTube, which is obviously amazing, really educational content and you could just download all that information and use it as the brain. It'd be really, really easy. But building an 11 lab thing, yes,

you can definitely build the voice in there. It would ask for an API key though and it would charge you every time you use it. So it probably wrench you out a couple grand a day. No, I'm joking. It' be like maybe $30 a week maybe if you ask lots of questions. Uh yeah. Oh, sorry. We got a mic. Are you in just Q&A session right now? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Cool. So let's just take a couple more questions and we'll Yeah. Question. You guys shoot at me? Is it clean? because I know that you

can copy and paste from BT and it does the algorithm won't push it out any further. So is it clean through or do you need to put that through something else? I would I would build a skill for it and be like, "Hey, you know, don't make this look." It's if I read something that if someone sent me an email, I'm like, "That's Chad GBT. That looks like absolute like if you write it in um Claude just out of the box, no prompting, it's not going to look like that." But I would work on creating

a skill or teaching it like how you want to write. me I like and this is a really good example of this like when I write stuff or emails I've just told it like little paragraph at the top dot points of the most important things what I need that's it that's just like how I like to communicate if someone wrote me a big email don't ever send me a long email like that I don't read it I just read the bottom bit and that's it because it's usually what they want and then I just will

answer that bit so um but that's a lot of people communicate like that and it'll be the same for your ads so getting to understand like your Writing style and anything like that or if you gave it some good examples and be like, "Hey, this is how I like, you know, the context to be um stick to this, then that's a much safer bet." But I know what you mean by everything's going into, you know, ads and stuff like that and it looks like chat GBT. It's just because it's all chat GBT and like the

it it all picks it up. It's just slot. It's got all the m dashes and emojis and stuff like that. Great. Yeah. Let's do one final question. Who's for me? [clears throat] Hello. Uh, my question is around podcasting. So, uh, to basically get it to trim up all of your like snippets from a long form content piece to then trim it into the short form content. Uh, just basically is that can you do that? You can definitely do it in claw um code like but what I start there right now is like from a technical

perspective if you were playing with claude code a little bit by all means like after you like playing around building some skills 100% because you can it can connect to Adobe Pro and these softwares and it will chop it for you and it'll even put it all into little scenes for you. So like adding all the cameras and stuff like that. Yeah, it's really good at that but it's a little bit technical. hasn't been out for ages, I wouldn't try hit it off first unless like if you want dive in The deep end, but I'm

just saying you might waste, you know, maybe three, four weeks um trying to figure it out. Even just like simplifying the time with finding the right time stamps, like if you know what your content is, what your client's pain points are and stuff, being able to like really get those clips from the podcast and turn it into That's a really Sorry, I just remembered um my sporadic brain just remembered something. It's called Opus Clip. I I still find that like super hard to beat. Like it's not like for $20 or $40. Like I just throw

like a full clip in there and it'll chop it out. I might not use all of them, but at least sometimes I just know where like the bites are. I'm like, "Okay, great. That bite, that bite, that bite." I might not even use them in there, but at least I know there's like six points in there and I'll go in and actually edit it in Cap Cut or whatever. Um, but yes, I wouldn't do it. If you haven't been using Claude, maybe don't worry. Better yet, that's all right.
