1 00:00:00,049 --> 00:00:01,489 So I switched from. 2 00:00:02,184 --> 00:00:06,844 Chat GTP to Claude, and then from Claude to Claude code. 3 00:00:07,744 --> 00:00:12,754 I've been in Claude code now for about a month and a half, and every 4 00:00:12,754 --> 00:00:17,404 night at the end of the day, I have two parallel tracks of feelings. 5 00:00:17,875 --> 00:00:19,885 the first track is the positive track. 6 00:00:19,915 --> 00:00:22,309 It's amazed at all the things that I got done. 7 00:00:22,970 --> 00:00:25,190 And then the second track is the negative track. 8 00:00:25,190 --> 00:00:28,479 It's angry at all the things that I learned the hard way. 9 00:00:28,690 --> 00:00:34,030 So I'm hoping today that I can save you some time from learning the hard way. 10 00:00:34,550 --> 00:00:39,620 cloud code definitely has a steeper learning curve than chat 11 00:00:39,665 --> 00:00:43,625 GBT or even just Claude the web. 12 00:00:44,735 --> 00:00:48,805 And they are Much the part of the same ecosystem, but they are entirely 13 00:00:48,805 --> 00:00:52,645 different in a variety of ways, which we will talk about today. 14 00:00:53,315 --> 00:00:56,555 for those of you who are online or who walked in late, I was just 15 00:00:56,555 --> 00:01:02,555 sharing a fun story where yesterday my angry track included frustrations 16 00:01:02,555 --> 00:01:05,015 that Claude had managed to spend $30. 17 00:01:05,015 --> 00:01:09,515 I didn't approve it to spend, had managed to cancel an email campaign...that 18 00:01:09,645 --> 00:01:11,415 I didn't want it to cancel. 19 00:01:17,935 --> 00:01:19,045 and there was something else. 20 00:01:19,045 --> 00:01:23,095 I don't remember what it was, but it, it is a wild. 21 00:01:23,715 --> 00:01:26,145 A wild adventure to say the least. 22 00:01:26,629 --> 00:01:34,575 So crash course is focused on AI education, both for those who are 23 00:01:34,575 --> 00:01:38,835 in the marketing technology and communications communities, and really 24 00:01:38,835 --> 00:01:41,685 for anyone who's trying to learn ai. 25 00:01:42,345 --> 00:01:48,225 We also work specifically with neurodivergent individuals and 26 00:01:48,225 --> 00:01:53,055 others who are leveraging AI to overcome accessibility difficulties 27 00:01:53,355 --> 00:01:57,915 or challenges, which I think AI is especially well positioned for. 28 00:01:59,385 --> 00:02:03,195 This is the fourth, the fourth session. 29 00:02:03,619 --> 00:02:09,585 So online there are recordings for the very first one, which was I 30 00:02:09,585 --> 00:02:15,425 think on like how to build websites with tools like, ready and lovable. 31 00:02:15,975 --> 00:02:20,415 And then the second one was focused entirely on chat, GBT. 32 00:02:20,865 --> 00:02:24,675 And then the third one, the one that came right before this was 33 00:02:24,675 --> 00:02:27,555 focused on Claude on the web. 34 00:02:28,579 --> 00:02:37,545 So we are skipping from co-work straight into Claude Code. 35 00:02:37,995 --> 00:02:40,815 Can I, are you able to go full screen with the slide? 36 00:02:40,875 --> 00:02:43,695 I am so glad that you asked that question. 37 00:02:43,755 --> 00:02:45,675 Thank you for asking questions. 38 00:02:45,795 --> 00:02:46,515 Yes. 39 00:02:46,845 --> 00:02:48,675 Let's improve our user experience here. 40 00:02:48,675 --> 00:02:53,535 Speaking of user accessibility, you just clicked, I'm scared. 41 00:02:53,535 --> 00:02:53,925 What will happen? 42 00:02:53,925 --> 00:02:54,620 Oh my goodness. 43 00:02:57,970 --> 00:02:58,260 Okay. 44 00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:59,410 Woo. 45 00:02:59,710 --> 00:03:00,250 It got bigger. 46 00:03:02,495 --> 00:03:03,365 As it does. 47 00:03:03,459 --> 00:03:08,615 So, Claude Code versus Claude Cowork, we're skipping over Claude Cowork, 48 00:03:09,305 --> 00:03:14,705 and that's intentional, but it might also be the wrong way to do this. 49 00:03:15,035 --> 00:03:19,325 Claude Cowork in a nutshell, it's got like a cleaner user interface. 50 00:03:19,625 --> 00:03:24,045 You can spin up agents, without necessarily like knowing a bunch. 51 00:03:24,614 --> 00:03:29,234 You can do like really simple but powerful things like you can reorganize your 52 00:03:29,234 --> 00:03:35,484 computer, you can rename all your files, you can set up a bunch of calendar events. 53 00:03:35,755 --> 00:03:37,645 You can do a lot of things with Claude Cowork. 54 00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:44,944 Club Cowork is, in my opinion, really designed, to give like a nice user. 55 00:03:45,154 --> 00:03:49,384 Experience to individuals who are trying to get into the age agent space. 56 00:03:49,804 --> 00:03:54,154 And I'm skipping over it because although it's a great stepping stone, it has a 57 00:03:54,154 --> 00:04:01,234 bunch of limitations, and Claude Code has very few limitations in comparison. 58 00:04:01,295 --> 00:04:03,094 Hi, thanks for coming in. 59 00:04:03,814 --> 00:04:05,525 you missed all the horrible parts, so great. 60 00:04:05,855 --> 00:04:06,845 Your timing is perfect. 61 00:04:07,394 --> 00:04:10,604 cloud code has very few limitations. 62 00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:17,449 And so if you've been using the web Claude code will feel like a completely 63 00:04:17,449 --> 00:04:21,019 different thing, or at least in many ways it will feel like a different thing. 64 00:04:21,379 --> 00:04:26,269 but if you come away from today feeling overwhelmed, I encourage you 65 00:04:26,269 --> 00:04:28,789 to spend time in Claude Cowork instead. 66 00:04:29,029 --> 00:04:32,059 It's not officially called Claude Cowork, it's just called Cowork. 67 00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:36,799 I'm not sure why Claude Code is called Claude Code, but Claude Cowork. 68 00:04:37,039 --> 00:04:39,109 Anyways, I didn't name these things, 69 00:04:39,619 --> 00:04:41,179 My point is I'm skipping. 70 00:04:41,689 --> 00:04:46,489 Claude Code does a lot of things that Claude cowork cannot do. 71 00:04:46,489 --> 00:04:50,349 So you can interact with like your terminal, for those of you who are 72 00:04:50,349 --> 00:04:56,049 comfortable with that space, you get access to all sorts of MCP servers agents, 73 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:58,629 and you can build independent scripts. 74 00:04:58,989 --> 00:05:04,240 the sky is the limit, as they say, and we'll cover what these words mean too. 75 00:05:05,470 --> 00:05:12,039 So the tell part of show and tell most of this will not be slides, but I wanted 76 00:05:12,039 --> 00:05:14,260 to give like some groundwork here. 77 00:05:14,344 --> 00:05:18,400 'cause otherwise I'll use words and vocab without explaining it. 78 00:05:19,099 --> 00:05:22,349 I wanna start with the tell part first of all. 79 00:05:23,030 --> 00:05:28,219 As someone who has recently come to the conclusion that it's unhealthy 80 00:05:28,219 --> 00:05:33,530 to stay up until 2:00 AM learning how to use cloud code let me tell you, I 81 00:05:33,530 --> 00:05:41,090 learned a lot of things the hard way, and I'm hoping I could save you from 82 00:05:41,150 --> 00:05:43,010 the lessons that I learned the hard way. 83 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,580 First of all, in Claude Code where you go to type into the chat, there's 84 00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:51,260 a little button on the bottom. 85 00:05:51,630 --> 00:05:52,200 Left. 86 00:05:52,530 --> 00:05:55,080 And that has a few different modes. 87 00:05:55,590 --> 00:06:00,330 The two that I want to call your attention to, there's one that is 88 00:06:00,330 --> 00:06:02,729 called, no permission required. 89 00:06:03,099 --> 00:06:05,229 that one's especially fun and dangerous. 90 00:06:05,509 --> 00:06:09,619 but the one that you should be really focused on using during your first few 91 00:06:09,619 --> 00:06:12,169 weeks in cloud code is called Plan Mode. 92 00:06:12,889 --> 00:06:16,909 And the great thing about plan mode is just like it sounds, 93 00:06:16,939 --> 00:06:19,309 it's gonna run a plan by you. 94 00:06:19,309 --> 00:06:23,659 So you can sit there and you can talk to it If you prefer, you can actually 95 00:06:23,659 --> 00:06:28,279 use your voice now, which I've started doing with mixed results sometimes, 96 00:06:28,579 --> 00:06:31,514 probably because the way I talk isn't always as organized as the way I 97 00:06:31,514 --> 00:06:37,905 write, but plan mode is really good because it will run by an entire plan. 98 00:06:38,264 --> 00:06:44,474 It'll run that by you and it will seek approval and revisions on that plan. 99 00:06:44,984 --> 00:06:46,694 And you do need to read that plan. 100 00:06:47,389 --> 00:06:51,709 because a lot of times my experience is that it will get 101 00:06:51,709 --> 00:06:54,590 like 95% of what I wanted to do. 102 00:06:54,949 --> 00:07:00,619 It'll get it right, but it will miss like one thing, and I can often trace back 103 00:07:00,619 --> 00:07:06,439 that misunderstanding, quite frankly, to poor communication on my part. 104 00:07:07,504 --> 00:07:07,724 Ai. 105 00:07:08,659 --> 00:07:14,149 Or at least Claude Code in particular is very, very logic driven. 106 00:07:14,599 --> 00:07:18,379 And it uses its own logic, not my logic, right? 107 00:07:18,379 --> 00:07:21,679 My logic tends to be like more emotional in nature. 108 00:07:22,069 --> 00:07:27,079 Claude Code in particular will do exactly what you tell it 109 00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:29,719 to, to a failure point, right? 110 00:07:30,019 --> 00:07:36,389 For example, if I say something like, here are three transcripts, make 111 00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:42,299 the best possible presentation using this template and the transcripts, 112 00:07:42,749 --> 00:07:44,429 turn it into a PowerPoint. 113 00:07:44,789 --> 00:07:51,149 If that's all I give it, it will focus in on the idea of creating what it considers 114 00:07:51,149 --> 00:07:56,099 to be the best and what it considers to be the best may or may not align 115 00:07:56,099 --> 00:07:58,289 with what I consider to be the best. 116 00:07:58,559 --> 00:08:04,769 So when I work with ai, but especially when I work with Claude Code, I 117 00:08:04,859 --> 00:08:09,569 pretend at all times that Claude is an intern sitting next to me. 118 00:08:10,289 --> 00:08:10,709 It is. 119 00:08:11,339 --> 00:08:17,729 a very unique intern in that it is both wildly capable of doing almost 120 00:08:17,729 --> 00:08:23,969 anything, and two, it is wildly capable of getting things terribly incorrect 121 00:08:23,969 --> 00:08:29,639 if I am not specific and detailed, and if I don't speak with constraints. 122 00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:29,699 So 123 00:08:32,654 --> 00:08:33,104 plan mode. 124 00:08:34,764 --> 00:08:38,964 Another thing to know, and we're gonna talk today about how to change 125 00:08:38,964 --> 00:08:42,464 this and how to evolve your setup so that this is not a problem. 126 00:08:42,854 --> 00:08:47,774 But even with all the safety mechanisms, even if you spend an immense amount 127 00:08:47,774 --> 00:08:51,554 of time, setting up what I would describe as your architecture and your 128 00:08:51,554 --> 00:08:57,164 infrastructure, Claude Code's memory is not a hundred percent reliable. 129 00:08:57,404 --> 00:09:02,664 My favorite example of this is that, for six weeks I have done everything 130 00:09:02,664 --> 00:09:07,704 I could think of to get Claude code to know what day it's, and although it's 131 00:09:07,704 --> 00:09:13,044 capable of remembering massive amounts of context about all sorts of projects that 132 00:09:13,044 --> 00:09:18,414 I'm working on, it remembers my Family tree, my mom's name, my ex-girlfriend. 133 00:09:18,414 --> 00:09:20,184 It remembers all sorts of things. 134 00:09:20,394 --> 00:09:23,364 Somehow it does not yet remember what day it. 135 00:09:23,454 --> 00:09:26,274 I dunno why I haven't figured out how to squash that bug yet. 136 00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:27,684 Hopefully that's not true for you. 137 00:09:27,954 --> 00:09:33,264 But my point is that if you're in the middle of like a work session and you're 138 00:09:33,264 --> 00:09:39,354 not done, first ask yourself, can I finish this before I close my computer? 139 00:09:40,584 --> 00:09:46,464 Best possible case scenario is that you can't, if you can't, I highly 140 00:09:46,464 --> 00:09:50,814 encourage you, even though it's very rare that it will be necessary, I 141 00:09:50,814 --> 00:09:55,674 highly encourage you to copy and paste your session like the last 10 or 15 142 00:09:55,674 --> 00:10:00,804 minutes of it into a notepad or a text item that doesn't live in Claude. 143 00:10:01,374 --> 00:10:05,814 I don't have it go wrong very often, so I don't wanna, like alarm you or 144 00:10:05,814 --> 00:10:09,174 make you feel like you shouldn't use this because it's, it's not useful. 145 00:10:09,174 --> 00:10:13,554 That's not at all the case, but there's nothing worse than being in 146 00:10:13,554 --> 00:10:16,934 the middle of something really, time consuming and after three hours. 147 00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:20,809 Coming back to your computer and you try to start a new session 148 00:10:20,809 --> 00:10:24,349 and Claude says, the what and the what and the where, right? 149 00:10:24,349 --> 00:10:27,949 So the memory is not a hundred percent reliable. 150 00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:31,429 I definitely back up things if I'm midstream. 151 00:10:33,859 --> 00:10:35,299 What else did I learn in the hard way? 152 00:10:36,319 --> 00:10:38,594 I only just learned this one the other day. 153 00:10:41,234 --> 00:10:47,894 Just like on the web, the context window of a session, which I usually 154 00:10:47,894 --> 00:10:50,954 think of in my head as a thread 'cause it's like a chat window. 155 00:10:51,394 --> 00:10:55,980 but each session you really wanna keep it focused. 156 00:10:55,984 --> 00:10:59,864 One of the mistakes that I made that was taking, a lot of token usage 157 00:11:00,074 --> 00:11:04,104 and also just resulting in a lot of errors where it would get confused 158 00:11:04,404 --> 00:11:08,714 is I would try to talk to it as if it completely understood my A DHD. 159 00:11:09,134 --> 00:11:13,214 And although it does a pretty good job of understanding my A DHD most of the time 160 00:11:13,544 --> 00:11:18,674 it's not so great at handling a session where you intertwine multiple things. 161 00:11:18,674 --> 00:11:25,184 So if I'm working on an email campaign for the Ocean Project and I'm working 162 00:11:25,184 --> 00:11:30,294 on a website for the Lake project and I'm also asking a questions about. 163 00:11:30,444 --> 00:11:32,814 Something that I'm trying to register for. 164 00:11:32,814 --> 00:11:36,954 Maybe it's a concert it's going to get confused. 165 00:11:36,954 --> 00:11:38,544 It's gonna make mistakes. 166 00:11:38,574 --> 00:11:43,404 So I, when I start, I kind of organize my workspace by creating three or 167 00:11:43,404 --> 00:11:48,174 four sessions and I separate out what I'm working on in those different, 168 00:11:49,174 --> 00:11:54,064 threads or session threads, if you prefer, regardless of what you're 169 00:11:54,064 --> 00:11:58,324 doing, if you've been in it for more than an hour, talking nonstop, probably 170 00:11:58,324 --> 00:12:00,214 a good idea to start a new thread. 171 00:12:00,784 --> 00:12:05,644 because again, it just, if you think about it, it has to kind of like reread 172 00:12:05,644 --> 00:12:08,254 the entire conversation every time. 173 00:12:08,314 --> 00:12:13,114 And so it's just natural as it would be for a human that if you keep 174 00:12:13,114 --> 00:12:17,074 giving me notes and notes and notes, eventually I'm gonna get lost, right? 175 00:12:17,464 --> 00:12:20,914 Or at the very least, I'm gonna spend a lot of energy that I don't need to spend. 176 00:12:22,534 --> 00:12:25,984 We talked about this briefly earlier, but constraint. 177 00:12:26,044 --> 00:12:30,244 It's really, really, really, really valuable. 178 00:12:30,814 --> 00:12:36,064 And we're gonna talk about the Claude MD file, which is your 179 00:12:36,064 --> 00:12:38,224 most basic form of architecture. 180 00:12:38,584 --> 00:12:44,494 The Claude MD file gets loaded every single time when you first launch 181 00:12:44,654 --> 00:12:50,044 Claude, so it's your best chance at governance in the most basic form. 182 00:12:50,584 --> 00:12:57,724 And so often when I come upon a new rule or constraint, I'll say, memorize that, 183 00:12:58,264 --> 00:13:00,814 and it will memorize that for next time. 184 00:13:01,084 --> 00:13:01,414 Right? 185 00:13:01,714 --> 00:13:04,504 And you can probably imagine there are all sorts of constraints. 186 00:13:04,504 --> 00:13:08,734 Your brand colors, your voice and tone, words you don't want to use. 187 00:13:09,094 --> 00:13:10,834 Things you don't want it to do. 188 00:13:11,184 --> 00:13:15,444 ways you want it to do things like don't make a recommendation for a tool 189 00:13:15,444 --> 00:13:19,464 until you've researched it and verify that it actually works with a Mac. 190 00:13:19,704 --> 00:13:25,034 You'll learn as you go Yet, even with constraints in the MD file, it's valuable 191 00:13:25,034 --> 00:13:31,404 to have prompts with constraints in them because, that way you're forcing 192 00:13:31,404 --> 00:13:33,164 it to know what those are, right? 193 00:13:33,164 --> 00:13:38,204 So even though I have those constraints as a fallback on a session by session 194 00:13:38,234 --> 00:13:42,044 basis, often there's something unique that it doesn't need to be memorized, right? 195 00:13:42,044 --> 00:13:45,404 It doesn't apply to everything, but it applies to that session. 196 00:13:45,744 --> 00:13:50,905 like a really common one is, do a test of this and make me one out 197 00:13:50,905 --> 00:13:55,254 of 10 slides, or do a test of this and write me five out of the 50 198 00:13:55,254 --> 00:13:56,994 messages that you're going to create. 199 00:13:57,354 --> 00:14:00,564 Something that will allow you to kind of get a sense of whether or not it's 200 00:14:00,564 --> 00:14:02,574 tracking what you want it to do correctly. 201 00:14:03,084 --> 00:14:07,824 One of the most exciting parts of Claude Code is that you can create 202 00:14:07,824 --> 00:14:12,444 scripts, and if you've never created a script before and don't know what it 203 00:14:12,444 --> 00:14:17,035 is, it's essentially like a mini little piece of software, on your computer. 204 00:14:17,245 --> 00:14:21,505 Like an example of a script that you could create would be, I could create 205 00:14:21,505 --> 00:14:26,035 a script that manually scans seven job boards and puts together a list of 206 00:14:26,035 --> 00:14:31,105 jobs that fit certain descriptions and then emails me about those jobs, right? 207 00:14:31,344 --> 00:14:35,659 And you could do far more complicated things with scripts than that. 208 00:14:36,234 --> 00:14:39,555 But scripts are valuable for a variety of reasons, and one of them 209 00:14:39,555 --> 00:14:41,685 is that they don't use any tokens. 210 00:14:42,824 --> 00:14:47,324 Require Claude code to build the script, but you don't require Claude 211 00:14:47,324 --> 00:14:49,844 Code tokens to run the script. 212 00:14:50,264 --> 00:14:54,584 So once you build the script, you can kind of run it on repeat 213 00:14:54,584 --> 00:14:57,834 and it doesn't cost, token usage. 214 00:14:58,045 --> 00:15:02,694 So the more things you can build out as scripts, the less likely you are to have 215 00:15:02,694 --> 00:15:05,814 to spend $200 a month on Claude Code. 216 00:15:07,134 --> 00:15:11,814 The way that I usually think of it is that there's like a Queen Bee and Claude Code 217 00:15:11,814 --> 00:15:19,104 is the Queen Bee and the scripts are the little worker manager bees and they are in 218 00:15:19,104 --> 00:15:24,384 charge of all sorts of other little bees that are below them, on the org chart. 219 00:15:24,954 --> 00:15:29,534 I'm spending most of my time as the human interacting with the Queen Bee. 220 00:15:29,959 --> 00:15:33,469 Is then trying to manage, you know, the whole swarm. 221 00:15:35,449 --> 00:15:40,909 This one I haven't yet made peace with because as much as I love 222 00:15:40,909 --> 00:15:45,249 new technology and new computers, there's nothing I hate more, than 223 00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:48,459 setting up a new laptop or computer. 224 00:15:48,849 --> 00:15:53,859 So for those who are in like really into Claude code, you might be familiar 225 00:15:53,859 --> 00:15:56,379 with what I call like the MacBook Run. 226 00:15:56,769 --> 00:16:00,039 people are going out and they're buying MacBook Minis like crazy. 227 00:16:00,219 --> 00:16:01,599 The prices are of use. 228 00:16:01,599 --> 00:16:03,789 MacBook Minis are starting to skyrocket. 229 00:16:04,049 --> 00:16:09,559 this is being, further, emphasized by open call, which we're not 230 00:16:09,559 --> 00:16:13,039 talking about today, but what shares a lot in common with cloud code. 231 00:16:13,459 --> 00:16:15,049 and so the simple reality is. 232 00:16:16,269 --> 00:16:22,239 When your computer is not on, your automations cannot run, right? 233 00:16:22,479 --> 00:16:26,919 If I have a little automation that's gonna check my email every 20 minutes and it's 234 00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:31,899 gonna automatically respond to people that need help with a certain topic, that's 235 00:16:31,899 --> 00:16:34,329 not gonna run when I close my computer. 236 00:16:34,629 --> 00:16:36,399 So you basically have two options. 237 00:16:36,699 --> 00:16:41,439 You can go get a new computer if you wanna get really into like ongoing 238 00:16:41,439 --> 00:16:45,639 automations and so forth, or you can do what I've done, which is 239 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,159 to move towards the cloud instead. 240 00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:54,449 So I use a. cloud based, VPS or virtual private computer. 241 00:16:54,689 --> 00:17:00,899 So I use AWS just because, you know, I'm already ruining the 242 00:17:00,899 --> 00:17:02,519 world with all the things I order. 243 00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:05,189 I just figured I might as well continue down that path. 244 00:17:05,459 --> 00:17:07,439 But AWS is really easy to set up. 245 00:17:07,439 --> 00:17:11,849 It's got an API cloud code, can connect to it with just the API key. 246 00:17:12,089 --> 00:17:16,199 You don't have to know that much about AWS to get set up on it, which is kind of fun. 247 00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:21,309 I also have another, virtual private server called Vulture, which 248 00:17:21,729 --> 00:17:24,729 I'm using 'cause it has certain capabilities that AWS doesn't. 249 00:17:25,209 --> 00:17:27,879 But the point is, those run all the time, right? 250 00:17:27,879 --> 00:17:33,849 I'm spending 10 or 15 bucks a month on virtual private servers, and those make it 251 00:17:33,849 --> 00:17:38,169 possible for me to create things that are just on autopilot, running day and night. 252 00:17:38,679 --> 00:17:41,059 Do you have those, running your scripts mostly, or are 253 00:17:41,059 --> 00:17:43,069 they hosting clouds like LLM? 254 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,894 They are mostly running scripts, they're hosting my agents or they're 255 00:17:47,894 --> 00:17:52,724 hosting, software that I've created, or that's a generous way to say open 256 00:17:52,724 --> 00:17:54,344 source software that I've borrowed. 257 00:17:54,834 --> 00:17:59,844 so for example, like I used to have an email server through 258 00:18:00,384 --> 00:18:02,484 something like MailChimp, right? 259 00:18:02,844 --> 00:18:06,384 And when I got into this, I got really excited 'cause I had always dreamed of 260 00:18:06,384 --> 00:18:08,754 having like full control over my email. 261 00:18:09,114 --> 00:18:13,164 And so I used an open source email server and I'm hosting it. 262 00:18:13,194 --> 00:18:16,434 That one had to go, I can't remember why, but I put it on Vulture. 263 00:18:16,824 --> 00:18:22,674 And so the code base was free, the customizations, all I had to do 264 00:18:22,674 --> 00:18:26,994 is spend some token usage and all I paid is like 10 bucks a month 265 00:18:26,994 --> 00:18:29,274 and I send out 2000 emails a day. 266 00:18:29,574 --> 00:18:30,504 As were before. 267 00:18:30,504 --> 00:18:34,074 I was paying, you know, like 80 to a hundred bucks a month for that capability. 268 00:18:34,194 --> 00:18:34,704 So 269 00:18:36,894 --> 00:18:38,639 all of the above, but not the LLM. 270 00:18:39,154 --> 00:18:43,564 I don't know if you could put the LLM also on the cloud and if that would save 271 00:18:43,564 --> 00:18:45,544 token usage, that would be exciting. 272 00:18:45,904 --> 00:18:49,834 I'm very unhappy with my token usage issues right now, so I'm intrigued. 273 00:18:49,834 --> 00:18:52,834 I don't know the answer to that, but for me, I'm using it for 274 00:18:52,834 --> 00:18:55,234 scripts, software, and agents. 275 00:18:56,674 --> 00:18:59,104 I'm talking really fast, but please ask questions. 276 00:18:59,554 --> 00:19:04,165 so just a few more vocab words and resources and then we'll get 277 00:19:04,165 --> 00:19:05,845 into like the fun stuff on screen. 278 00:19:06,685 --> 00:19:08,004 Your markdown file. 279 00:19:08,405 --> 00:19:12,905 This is just an md. You'll hear this described a lot. 280 00:19:12,905 --> 00:19:15,515 You'll see cloud code referencing it a lot, right? 281 00:19:15,515 --> 00:19:20,945 It'll say like looking at MD file, when you see that it's just a super 282 00:19:20,945 --> 00:19:25,925 lightweight, it's basically like a text file, that's specifically written 283 00:19:25,925 --> 00:19:30,005 in a way that anything that can read markdown will know the difference 284 00:19:30,005 --> 00:19:33,395 between like paragraphs and subheadings and bullet points and so forth. 285 00:19:33,875 --> 00:19:37,325 And if you're really into code, you can even write in markdown. 286 00:19:37,565 --> 00:19:41,705 But markdown files really are a key component of cloud code. 287 00:19:41,705 --> 00:19:44,765 The whole like architecture is basically built on those. 288 00:19:44,765 --> 00:19:48,935 Another thing to know, if you've not used GitHub before, when you're 289 00:19:48,935 --> 00:19:53,465 first setting up Claude Code, you'll be prompted to set up or rather to 290 00:19:53,465 --> 00:19:55,925 connect and set up a GitHub repo. 291 00:19:56,435 --> 00:19:58,295 And this is really important because. 292 00:19:58,715 --> 00:20:02,825 This is where your code base slips, and it makes sure that your code isn't 293 00:20:02,825 --> 00:20:07,865 just on your computer, it's public, or private, depending on how you set it up. 294 00:20:08,195 --> 00:20:12,875 And GitHub as a whole is a phenomenal resource. 295 00:20:13,205 --> 00:20:18,935 A variety of what I'm showing you today On the screen comes from GitHub repos. 296 00:20:19,235 --> 00:20:23,465 you could find open source GitHub repos for a massive amount of 297 00:20:23,465 --> 00:20:30,495 stuff out there, like just by using, the keywords GitHub repo. 298 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,750 And then whatever you might be looking for, right? 299 00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:38,730 Like maybe you're looking for an email server Disclaimer here. 300 00:20:39,930 --> 00:20:43,590 GitHub repos need to be treated with suspicion. 301 00:20:44,850 --> 00:20:48,930 Anybody in the world can publish an open source free GitHub repo. 302 00:20:49,650 --> 00:20:53,950 It is not impossible if you're not careful, for this to not 303 00:20:53,950 --> 00:20:55,990 be a good thing for you, right? 304 00:20:55,990 --> 00:20:59,860 I could easily put malicious code in here or anything like that. 305 00:21:00,185 --> 00:21:04,765 so I'm usually using a GitHub repo that someone has referred to me or told me 306 00:21:04,765 --> 00:21:07,075 about, just because they seem credible. 307 00:21:07,435 --> 00:21:10,535 A lot of the GitHub repos I'm using are, from. 308 00:21:11,015 --> 00:21:11,675 MIT. 309 00:21:11,755 --> 00:21:16,675 there are immense amount of MIT open source GitHub repos that have been 310 00:21:16,675 --> 00:21:18,865 designed specifically for Claude code. 311 00:21:19,195 --> 00:21:21,565 And maybe that applies to other ais as well. 312 00:21:21,615 --> 00:21:26,025 a lot of what I've used to upgrade my infrastructure and capabilities with 313 00:21:26,025 --> 00:21:32,845 Claude Code I just stole from GitHub, it said, Hey, so and so at MIT made this. 314 00:21:32,845 --> 00:21:36,085 And I went and Googled him to make sure that he or she or they 315 00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:41,005 were a real person, and I decided, okay, I will just steal that. 316 00:21:41,005 --> 00:21:44,425 more and more of the features that our mail bond GitHub are getting 317 00:21:44,425 --> 00:21:47,785 added into Claude Code natively. 318 00:21:48,085 --> 00:21:51,385 if you are really nerdy and you read Claude Code's blog. 319 00:21:51,740 --> 00:21:56,150 They are no surprise, they are using cloud code to build claw 320 00:21:56,150 --> 00:21:57,830 code, which is a little bit meta. 321 00:21:58,190 --> 00:22:01,770 And so one of the things I've noticed, especially since open Claw started 322 00:22:01,770 --> 00:22:07,190 trending is that cloud code is putting out new features really, really fast. 323 00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:08,480 Like pretty much every week. 324 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,180 Right now they're rolling out two to three new features. 325 00:22:11,550 --> 00:22:14,740 some of them are not fully developed, which, you know, that happens, 326 00:22:14,740 --> 00:22:17,650 but they're definitely competing. 327 00:22:17,890 --> 00:22:23,380 I would say most of all they seem to be competing with, with open claw, which 328 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,000 I think is exciting 'cause competition in this space is a positive thing. 329 00:22:29,470 --> 00:22:29,800 Okay. 330 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:30,930 few more things. 331 00:22:31,450 --> 00:22:32,770 There's just a whole lingo. 332 00:22:33,145 --> 00:22:37,105 And I don't want to talk and have you not know what the lingo means. 333 00:22:37,385 --> 00:22:40,055 MCP server, it took me a while to figure out what that meant. 334 00:22:40,055 --> 00:22:41,345 I had to Google it eventually. 335 00:22:41,795 --> 00:22:46,745 this is a certain protocol that's been developed specifically so that 336 00:22:46,745 --> 00:22:49,805 a software program can talk to ai. 337 00:22:49,955 --> 00:22:53,325 And this works across, copilot and a bunch of other things. 338 00:22:53,325 --> 00:22:58,965 It's not unique to Cloud code, but it gives you real time access to things. 339 00:22:58,965 --> 00:23:02,205 For example, like your Gmail account, right, or your Microsoft 340 00:23:02,205 --> 00:23:07,935 account, you can connect those with, a built in MCP server There. 341 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,970 A long list of MCP servers that are defaulted into cloud code, 342 00:23:13,970 --> 00:23:15,200 like they're already there. 343 00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:21,680 And then there are a massive amount of MCP servers you can download or install from 344 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,680 places like GitHub or from the website of the software tool that you might be using. 345 00:23:29,570 --> 00:23:35,360 MCPU servers are great in that they don't require API access and you 346 00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:37,220 don't have to worry about API keys. 347 00:23:37,250 --> 00:23:38,900 And there's just like less to figure out. 348 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,700 they also sometimes have features or capabilities that the API 349 00:23:42,730 --> 00:23:47,140 connection doesn't, they're also terrible for token usage. 350 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,580 I try to use as few MCP servers as possible because they consume 351 00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:57,730 far more tokens than the API calls will consume Think of those 352 00:23:57,730 --> 00:23:59,470 as a static connection, right? 353 00:23:59,470 --> 00:24:04,870 It's a, a wine between two lakes that allows the water to go back and forth as 354 00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:07,060 where an MCP server has to be launched. 355 00:24:07,210 --> 00:24:08,560 It's new every time. 356 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:14,290 It's redoing the connection every time agents, autonomous workers, those are 357 00:24:14,290 --> 00:24:16,920 the bees that the queen bee is managing. 358 00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:21,650 There are agents that are, Ephemeral. 359 00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:22,910 Thank you, James. 360 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,960 Every time I read this word, I think, what does that, how do you say that word? 361 00:24:26,170 --> 00:24:30,220 So there are agents that are like, they're temporary, they're 362 00:24:30,370 --> 00:24:32,200 bees with a short lifespan. 363 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,360 They're created for specific need, right? 364 00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:39,340 Like maybe I have three emails where they're all asking me for a presentation 365 00:24:39,340 --> 00:24:43,450 that I recorded and I create a temporary agent to go respond to them 366 00:24:43,450 --> 00:24:46,300 all and give them the right links and tell them to have a wonderful day. 367 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,150 and then there are agents that are more permanent in nature. 368 00:24:50,420 --> 00:24:53,150 So those are called persistent agents. 369 00:24:53,150 --> 00:24:57,530 And persistent agents as much as possible, that's what I prefer to work with. 370 00:24:57,530 --> 00:25:00,170 'cause you build 'em once and they're doing something ongoing 371 00:25:01,790 --> 00:25:05,030 for those, those temporary agents. 372 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,780 You definitely don't need AWS, you definitely don't need a server. 373 00:25:09,030 --> 00:25:14,610 those are the sorts of agents that Claude's cowork tool is usually 374 00:25:14,610 --> 00:25:16,530 booting up more often than not. 375 00:25:17,490 --> 00:25:19,680 And then last but not least. 376 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,090 Scheduled tasks. 377 00:25:21,540 --> 00:25:26,160 You can have your agents, if they don't need to always be running, 378 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,680 you can have them do something on a recurring time basis. 379 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:28,890 Right? 380 00:25:28,890 --> 00:25:32,640 Like every Monday morning, I want you to scan through all the email 381 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,670 newsletters that I subscribed to and give me a summary. 382 00:25:35,670 --> 00:25:39,540 Or every Tuesday I want you to email my mom and tell her to have a great day. 383 00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:40,920 Whatever it might be. 384 00:25:41,130 --> 00:25:45,300 You could schedule out all of those tasks directly in Claude Code. 385 00:25:45,330 --> 00:25:50,030 It's technically just using, Aron job, but it does it so you don't 386 00:25:50,030 --> 00:25:51,470 have to know what Aron job is. 387 00:25:51,470 --> 00:25:54,410 And you don't have to get into terminal if you don't wanna get into terminal. 388 00:25:55,790 --> 00:26:01,850 So let's actually open up Claude, but before I keep going, does 389 00:26:01,850 --> 00:26:03,410 anyone have any questions? 390 00:26:03,410 --> 00:26:05,180 I just flew through a lot of information. 391 00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:05,260 Okay. 392 00:26:05,260 --> 00:26:08,050 Does anyone have any questions on the line online? 393 00:26:09,970 --> 00:26:10,600 Oh wow. 394 00:26:12,730 --> 00:26:15,040 Amy, Sarah, Kyle, Amy and Kyle. 395 00:26:15,070 --> 00:26:17,320 Are saying they can't see the presentation. 396 00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:20,950 You're, you're sharing your whole screen, right? 397 00:26:21,190 --> 00:26:22,600 I am sharing my whole screen. 398 00:26:23,530 --> 00:26:26,560 Was that just at the very beginning or is that still happening? 399 00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:28,810 It looks like it might have been at the very beginning. 400 00:26:29,650 --> 00:26:35,770 Kyle, Amy, Sarah, Can you see anything? 401 00:26:36,430 --> 00:26:36,970 Oh no. 402 00:26:36,970 --> 00:26:40,990 Well, you know, on the plus side I was just covering definitions. 403 00:26:41,340 --> 00:26:43,920 so I suppose it's good that I caught it now. 404 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,140 You didn't miss what I was doing on the screen. 405 00:26:46,140 --> 00:26:47,730 I haven't been doing anything on the screen. 406 00:26:47,730 --> 00:26:50,820 I've just been talking and I happen to have like pretty pictures. 407 00:26:50,820 --> 00:26:52,950 So you missed some pretty pictures and that's sad. 408 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,420 But let's figure out real quick room, if you'll bear with me here. 409 00:26:57,870 --> 00:27:01,080 I do not want our guests who are, oh my goodness. 410 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,010 That's so sad. 411 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,020 I don't know why that would've happened. 412 00:27:04,020 --> 00:27:05,460 You're not sharing right now. 413 00:27:05,460 --> 00:27:05,580 Yeah. 414 00:27:06,180 --> 00:27:07,800 Well that's just super cute. 415 00:27:08,490 --> 00:27:09,300 Super cute. 416 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,570 Well, thank you for those of you who just listened to a podcast without 417 00:27:12,570 --> 00:27:15,120 visuals, I'm gonna have to email you all. 418 00:27:15,390 --> 00:27:16,750 I will set up an agent to. 419 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,040 I'm sharing the screen. 420 00:27:19,780 --> 00:27:20,350 How about now? 421 00:27:20,350 --> 00:27:23,320 Can you see my screen now? 422 00:27:25,150 --> 00:27:26,050 Oh my goodness. 423 00:27:26,260 --> 00:27:26,830 I'm so sorry. 424 00:27:26,830 --> 00:27:27,370 If you can, 425 00:27:29,890 --> 00:27:30,640 yeah, you can see it now. 426 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,720 And can you see, can you see Claude code? 427 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:40,060 Is it doing like 5 million, mirror images or is it just showing up nicely? 428 00:27:46,180 --> 00:27:46,630 Okay. 429 00:27:47,230 --> 00:27:48,940 I have my messages open. 430 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,570 Wonderful human beings that are joining from the internet. 431 00:27:54,490 --> 00:27:56,110 I will keep an eye on my messages. 432 00:27:56,110 --> 00:27:57,970 I'm so sorry I didn't catch that until now. 433 00:27:58,785 --> 00:27:59,075 Phew. 434 00:28:02,270 --> 00:28:03,180 Claude code. 435 00:28:03,180 --> 00:28:05,550 Now we're actually gonna show things on the screen that matter. 436 00:28:05,550 --> 00:28:07,230 So it's important that you can see the screen. 437 00:28:08,430 --> 00:28:12,690 I have Claude code open and I wanna be precise here. 438 00:28:12,690 --> 00:28:18,630 I have Claude code opened as the software tool on my computer. 439 00:28:18,750 --> 00:28:20,430 You can use it in your browser. 440 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,180 I almost never use it in my browser, 441 00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:28,810 I just downloaded this and kind of forgot that you could use it in your browser. 442 00:28:28,810 --> 00:28:32,110 So I can't tell you that there's anything here that you can't do in your 443 00:28:32,110 --> 00:28:35,860 browser, but I would imagine that there are probably at least a few features, 444 00:28:36,110 --> 00:28:37,790 that you can't do in your browser. 445 00:28:38,390 --> 00:28:42,530 The best part about having it downloaded is that you can then have it interact 446 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,450 directly with terminal and you can have it take control of your computer. 447 00:28:46,810 --> 00:28:50,080 So you can say things like, Hey, Claude, take control of my 448 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,150 computer and write my mom an email. 449 00:28:52,330 --> 00:28:53,260 And it could do that. 450 00:28:53,530 --> 00:28:55,390 It's not a great way to work with Claude. 451 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,100 one because it's not, probably not very safe. 452 00:28:59,150 --> 00:29:05,240 and then two, it just isn't very good at like navigating your computer I would 453 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,970 surmise is still winning in that category. 454 00:29:08,250 --> 00:29:10,290 but you can give it full control of your computer. 455 00:29:10,290 --> 00:29:12,450 So really there's nothing, you can't have it accomplished. 456 00:29:12,780 --> 00:29:16,800 I had it send out, party messages the other week on Facebook. 457 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,910 I made a list of friends and I had it send dms to all of them. 458 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,430 My friends are really excited that I've discovered this tool and it is 459 00:29:25,670 --> 00:29:29,450 allowing me to be way more, annoying than I've ever been before in my life. 460 00:29:29,450 --> 00:29:33,170 So anyways, here we are, we're in Claude Coat. 461 00:29:34,190 --> 00:29:37,520 I wanna demo a few different things, but first I just wanna 462 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,870 give you a brief little tour. 463 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:45,920 So that button I told you about, ask permissions, auto accept edits, plan mode. 464 00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:50,690 Plan mode being the most important one, bypass permissions, that's the button. 465 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,090 And so if you're talking to it. 466 00:29:53,905 --> 00:29:56,035 And you're getting to used to using it. 467 00:29:56,035 --> 00:29:57,985 You really wanna be in plan mode. 468 00:29:58,375 --> 00:30:01,675 I like to leave it in bypass remissions 'cause it's more fun for 469 00:30:01,675 --> 00:30:03,875 me, to find out what's what breaks. 470 00:30:04,065 --> 00:30:06,945 but that's not probably a wise way to use it. 471 00:30:07,405 --> 00:30:10,405 that's probably why it's spending money that I didn't mean for it to spend. 472 00:30:10,945 --> 00:30:13,765 You have control over the model that you're using. 473 00:30:14,215 --> 00:30:18,075 I can't think of a great reason why you wouldn't be, just 474 00:30:18,345 --> 00:30:20,115 using the most advanced model. 475 00:30:20,115 --> 00:30:24,055 But I suppose, if you're trying to be careful or if you wanna experiment, 476 00:30:24,055 --> 00:30:26,065 you could switch to other models. 477 00:30:26,065 --> 00:30:28,645 If you're not doing anything super complicated, it will save 478 00:30:28,645 --> 00:30:30,295 you token usage if you do that. 479 00:30:32,185 --> 00:30:37,135 But without further ado, I want to jump into, okay, this will be hard 'cause I, 480 00:30:38,810 --> 00:30:41,125 I'm gonna have to rethink how I present. 481 00:30:42,205 --> 00:30:46,685 It's getting to be a bit too much for me to manage the idea of there being people 482 00:30:46,685 --> 00:30:49,205 online and in person at the same time. 483 00:30:49,205 --> 00:30:49,265 So. 484 00:30:50,555 --> 00:30:54,365 What I wanna do is I wanna actually do the show part, right? 485 00:30:54,970 --> 00:31:00,355 So the first demo I wanna do is A live SEO audit. 486 00:31:00,955 --> 00:31:08,515 Now, when I used to own like an agency, I would charge like $5,000 for this. 487 00:31:09,055 --> 00:31:14,005 And so I got really excited when I figured out, that I had gotten out of agency 488 00:31:14,005 --> 00:31:17,845 space at the right time because I can now do this for free if you know how. 489 00:31:18,805 --> 00:31:23,095 So I'm not suggesting that everyone is in marketing or that cloud 490 00:31:23,095 --> 00:31:24,745 code is only good at marketing. 491 00:31:25,315 --> 00:31:27,415 I just have the most background in marketing. 492 00:31:27,415 --> 00:31:31,165 So a lot of the experiments I end up doing tend to be marketing related. 493 00:31:31,705 --> 00:31:36,085 but we will get into some other experiments too, such as filing a lawsuit. 494 00:31:36,235 --> 00:31:42,655 But let's start here with SEO who has a website, no one will wanna volunteer. 495 00:31:42,655 --> 00:31:43,645 Let's pick on Bamboo. 496 00:31:44,115 --> 00:31:48,075 so let's imagine that you wanna do an SEO on it. 497 00:31:49,455 --> 00:31:54,435 You wanna know if your site is running fast, you wanna know if it's 498 00:31:54,465 --> 00:31:59,455 80 accessible, you wanna know, if it's showing up on Google, right? 499 00:31:59,505 --> 00:32:09,665 So first of all, it's important to know that SEO audit experiments involve. 500 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,300 Agents that Claude doesn't have natively on board, right? 501 00:32:14,540 --> 00:32:17,330 So the very first thing that you would do is you would say, 502 00:32:17,330 --> 00:32:22,850 like, GitHub repo SEO audit, 503 00:32:25,700 --> 00:32:31,370 and I'm gonna do this more quickly than you would ideally be doing it just 504 00:32:31,370 --> 00:32:33,230 because I know what's safe already. 505 00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:38,050 it is critical again, that you'd be careful here, but I would look through 506 00:32:38,050 --> 00:32:45,010 these and I would try to find like, which one is either like a brand or a project 507 00:32:45,010 --> 00:32:52,630 that I've heard of before or which one has, a creator that, again, I don't know 508 00:32:52,630 --> 00:32:54,610 why, but a lot of them are from mit. 509 00:32:54,610 --> 00:32:57,490 So I'm usually, when I'm in here, I'm looking for like MIT. 510 00:32:58,105 --> 00:33:03,835 And I didn't go into it in depth earlier, but a GitHub repo that someone else made 511 00:33:03,835 --> 00:33:08,185 is literally, it could be software, it can be a tool, it could be pretty much 512 00:33:08,185 --> 00:33:10,375 anything that anyone could code, right? 513 00:33:10,705 --> 00:33:19,345 So if I want agents for AI that can do an audit, I will often literally search 514 00:33:19,345 --> 00:33:22,435 for Claude, and then I'll say, agents. 515 00:33:25,915 --> 00:33:26,815 So here we go. 516 00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:33,925 This is definitely in the right direction, a universal SEO skill for Claude. 517 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,700 And what I will often do is I will grab the URL. 518 00:33:39,940 --> 00:33:44,560 Now you can clone the entire thing as is. 519 00:33:44,620 --> 00:33:47,080 That's the fastest way to work with a GitHub repo. 520 00:33:47,450 --> 00:33:49,070 but I don't usually do that. 521 00:33:49,940 --> 00:33:53,330 I usually ask Claude a very basic question. 522 00:33:53,330 --> 00:33:59,360 I'll say something like, I want to do an SEO audit of a website. 523 00:34:00,260 --> 00:34:02,210 I found a GitHub repo. 524 00:34:04,070 --> 00:34:08,270 What can you learn from this repo that would help me? 525 00:34:08,930 --> 00:34:10,700 And it will go out to the internet. 526 00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:12,200 It will find that repo. 527 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,100 And the reason that I ask it this question is because I often 528 00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:17,840 forget what I've already set up. 529 00:34:18,590 --> 00:34:24,440 And so I suspect that because I've already downloaded a repo similar to 530 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,620 this, that it's going to respond to me and tell me, Tim, you've already 531 00:34:27,620 --> 00:34:30,050 got the things that this does. 532 00:34:30,140 --> 00:34:34,910 but it helps to do it this way because as you build, you're kind 533 00:34:34,910 --> 00:34:38,540 of creating like layers and layers and layers, and it's really easy. 534 00:34:38,870 --> 00:34:41,990 Even if you keep good documentation and you have a good memory, it's easy 535 00:34:42,020 --> 00:34:43,970 to forget the different layers, right? 536 00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:45,140 So here it is. 537 00:34:45,140 --> 00:34:45,950 It's going out. 538 00:34:46,385 --> 00:34:51,245 To that GitHub repo, it's gonna look through the code, and it 539 00:34:51,245 --> 00:34:56,675 also helps identify whether or not it's safe to use the GitHub repo. 540 00:34:56,825 --> 00:34:59,255 That's another reason why I like to ask it that question. 541 00:34:59,255 --> 00:35:05,465 That way, when I first started out, I would often get answers that were like, 542 00:35:05,495 --> 00:35:08,405 this is actually an unsafe GitHub repo. 543 00:35:08,915 --> 00:35:12,515 you have stumbled upon something where someone is just trying to get you 544 00:35:12,515 --> 00:35:16,295 to buy something, and if you install this GitHub repo, you'll learn that 545 00:35:16,295 --> 00:35:17,345 you actually have to pay for it. 546 00:35:18,470 --> 00:35:22,390 Because I have already installed some of these similar tools, it's telling 547 00:35:22,390 --> 00:35:23,770 me what I thought it would tell me. 548 00:35:23,770 --> 00:35:27,240 But you see here what it explained, right? 549 00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:28,500 This is what it offers. 550 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,420 I'm getting agents that can run parallel to each other, so at the same time, 551 00:35:33,780 --> 00:35:35,520 I can have multiple bees working. 552 00:35:35,790 --> 00:35:37,470 I can do a full site audit. 553 00:35:37,710 --> 00:35:39,480 I can do a deep analysis. 554 00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:41,310 I can do content scoring. 555 00:35:41,310 --> 00:35:43,770 I can do AI search optimization. 556 00:35:43,770 --> 00:35:44,880 People are very worried. 557 00:35:46,565 --> 00:35:50,015 in my opinion, for reasons that they don't necessarily need to be, about 558 00:35:50,015 --> 00:35:54,725 AI search optimization, you can do image checks, like are the images 559 00:35:54,725 --> 00:35:56,735 the right file size and all that. 560 00:35:57,035 --> 00:36:00,275 And all of these are like, as someone who comes from a marketing background, 561 00:36:00,785 --> 00:36:03,995 extremely easy to get horribly wrong. 562 00:36:04,685 --> 00:36:11,015 it isn't uncommon in my experience to find 15, $20,000 websites where if you run a 563 00:36:11,015 --> 00:36:15,725 report like this, it will come up with a long list of things that went wrong. 564 00:36:16,955 --> 00:36:20,345 And so I'm gonna use the tools I already have. 565 00:36:20,405 --> 00:36:28,265 So I'll say, let's use what I already have, run a full SEO. 566 00:36:29,115 --> 00:36:38,565 Page speed and a DA compliance audit on Bamboo's website. 567 00:36:42,615 --> 00:36:46,215 So I did this last week, I had, four sites that I had built. 568 00:36:46,515 --> 00:36:51,015 When I first got into ai, I had built them using tools like 569 00:36:51,015 --> 00:36:53,175 Lovable, which are really popular. 570 00:36:53,655 --> 00:36:57,915 And I knew at the time that I would have to redo them all at some point. 571 00:36:58,395 --> 00:37:03,315 And so last week I decided to move them all over to cloud code where I have full 572 00:37:03,315 --> 00:37:07,215 control over them and where I don't have to pay other subscription fees, right? 573 00:37:07,215 --> 00:37:08,505 It's all kind of consolidated. 574 00:37:09,555 --> 00:37:13,605 And when I ran this audit on them, they were all horrible, 575 00:37:14,475 --> 00:37:17,565 horrible image sizes were bloated. 576 00:37:18,015 --> 00:37:20,385 SEO best practices were ignored. 577 00:37:20,385 --> 00:37:23,145 Accessibility was deprioritized. 578 00:37:23,955 --> 00:37:28,385 And so I spent about two or three hours between all of the sites, using these 579 00:37:28,385 --> 00:37:33,905 agents that I had found with GitHub repos, and I got all the scores up to a 580 00:37:33,905 --> 00:37:37,800 hundred, which I've never done before. 581 00:37:38,245 --> 00:37:39,695 So I was very, very excited. 582 00:37:39,945 --> 00:37:42,675 that was the kind of thing that would've cost a lot of money when I 583 00:37:42,675 --> 00:37:44,655 was charging clients and agency land. 584 00:37:44,705 --> 00:37:46,325 we would've charged tons of money for that. 585 00:37:46,565 --> 00:37:50,465 And SEO agencies, wonderful human beings. 586 00:37:51,065 --> 00:37:55,145 There are so many things they can do, I imagine that AI cannot do. 587 00:37:55,145 --> 00:37:59,645 But when it comes to technical audits, I don't know why anyone would be paying 588 00:37:59,645 --> 00:38:04,415 anyone to do technical audits anymore, because, you can do them yourself and 589 00:38:04,415 --> 00:38:08,765 you don't even need to pay anything other than a Claude subscription. 590 00:38:09,065 --> 00:38:12,425 So here you see it's opening in the background. 591 00:38:12,765 --> 00:38:14,625 it's using a tool called playwright. 592 00:38:14,865 --> 00:38:19,845 Playwright is a tool that allows Claude and other AI tools and 593 00:38:19,845 --> 00:38:22,095 programs to control your browser. 594 00:38:22,275 --> 00:38:25,155 So it's a browser made for automations. 595 00:38:25,345 --> 00:38:29,275 and so I have it hooked up where it'll open playwright. 596 00:38:29,455 --> 00:38:32,785 I did that because it kept taking over my safari and it was really 597 00:38:32,785 --> 00:38:36,085 annoying 'cause I'd be right in the middle of something and all of 598 00:38:36,085 --> 00:38:38,065 a sudden my mouse would go away. 599 00:38:38,375 --> 00:38:41,495 so I like playwright for a variety of reasons, but the main one is 600 00:38:41,495 --> 00:38:43,685 that it'll allows me to multitask. 601 00:38:43,985 --> 00:38:46,505 So here it's saying, Hey, 602 00:38:48,665 --> 00:38:48,905 no. 603 00:38:49,595 --> 00:38:50,075 Oh no. 604 00:38:50,345 --> 00:38:52,025 It's giving me all sorts of information. 605 00:38:52,205 --> 00:38:56,845 So it's running the agents and I'm a skeptic. 606 00:38:56,845 --> 00:39:01,415 Like, as much as I like to try new things, I also always just imagine 607 00:39:01,415 --> 00:39:03,785 that they're probably telling me things that aren't true, which I 608 00:39:03,785 --> 00:39:05,675 think is a pretty healthy habit. 609 00:39:05,735 --> 00:39:10,265 With AI in particular, at least two out of 10 times, it's 610 00:39:10,265 --> 00:39:11,735 lying to me about something. 611 00:39:12,125 --> 00:39:14,465 whether intentional or not is a different discussion. 612 00:39:14,645 --> 00:39:20,145 So, out of curiosity, my benchmark, again, I know this is like very deep 613 00:39:20,145 --> 00:39:24,755 in the weeds on SEO in particular, but my benchmark for SEO has always 614 00:39:24,755 --> 00:39:29,445 been a tool called, and I can't spell it for the life of me, G Metrics. 615 00:39:31,635 --> 00:39:33,195 It's a free reporting tool. 616 00:39:33,525 --> 00:39:35,775 There are like 10 free reporting tools. 617 00:39:36,015 --> 00:39:39,155 Some of them are, so self biased that they'll tell you things 618 00:39:39,155 --> 00:39:42,425 that are definitely not at all important and or accurate. 619 00:39:43,085 --> 00:39:45,785 In my experience over the last decade, this is the one that's 620 00:39:45,785 --> 00:39:47,195 always told me the truth. 621 00:39:47,495 --> 00:39:51,915 Never overstated, consistently, never understated consistently. 622 00:39:52,215 --> 00:39:52,575 So. 623 00:39:52,875 --> 00:39:57,375 What I wanted to know as I was doing this the first time was what does 624 00:39:57,375 --> 00:40:04,995 this tool that I trust say, and how does that compare to what AI says? 625 00:40:04,995 --> 00:40:05,235 Right? 626 00:40:05,235 --> 00:40:06,465 What these agents are saying. 627 00:40:06,465 --> 00:40:07,335 So I'll do bamboo. 628 00:40:08,205 --> 00:40:09,645 And I honestly, I can never remember. 629 00:40:09,795 --> 00:40:10,605 It's horrible. 630 00:40:10,935 --> 00:40:12,825 I can't remember Bamboo's website. 631 00:40:13,335 --> 00:40:15,375 It's why I wasn't typing it in before. 632 00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:16,200 it's okay. 633 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:16,210 Computer 634 00:40:21,255 --> 00:40:22,675 bamboo cowork.com. 635 00:40:22,825 --> 00:40:23,115 Okay. 636 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:29,030 So I would take this URL and I would benchmark it in a tool that I trust. 637 00:40:29,310 --> 00:40:33,540 one though that can't just directly make all the changes because this 638 00:40:33,540 --> 00:40:37,050 tool is just web-based, doesn't have like, access to my website. 639 00:40:37,470 --> 00:40:42,060 but by moving all my sites over to Claude Code, which again, I really am not sure 640 00:40:42,060 --> 00:40:43,950 why anyone wouldn't do at this point. 641 00:40:44,430 --> 00:40:49,500 I can make the changes that these audits suggest with just a few prompts. 642 00:40:49,770 --> 00:40:52,050 So every single week now I have an agent. 643 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:53,010 I have these agents. 644 00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:57,230 I think there were like seven of them doing different things every single 645 00:40:57,230 --> 00:41:02,030 week on my A WSI have them auditing my site because you know, you're always 646 00:41:02,030 --> 00:41:08,090 making changes or you're adding new blog posts or whatever it might be, and it's 647 00:41:08,090 --> 00:41:12,590 constantly auditing the site and then it's automatically deploying fixes too. 648 00:41:12,590 --> 00:41:17,270 So I don't have to spend, you know, all this time worried about SEO Now. 649 00:41:17,270 --> 00:41:18,050 Bamboo. 650 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:23,960 Great job Bamboo, and thank you Bamboo for hosting us in this physical location today 651 00:41:24,350 --> 00:41:29,480 and for all that you do to support the startup and AI communities in particular. 652 00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:31,430 So Bamboo's doing pretty good. 653 00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:36,070 but you know, I always liked it when I got a a, pluses. 654 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,220 And so if you were to dig into this report, you'll kind of get a 655 00:41:39,220 --> 00:41:42,430 sense of what these agents in the background are going to show us. 656 00:41:43,510 --> 00:41:45,250 It's gonna get really technical here. 657 00:41:45,250 --> 00:41:49,450 It's gonna tell us like the specific structure that's gonna tell us, 658 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,780 images that are oversized, policies that are incorrect, errors in 659 00:41:53,780 --> 00:41:56,420 JavaScript, errors in CSS, right? 660 00:41:57,110 --> 00:42:01,280 We're getting really deep into the weeds here of developer territory. 661 00:42:02,210 --> 00:42:04,220 So that's our benchmark. 662 00:42:04,220 --> 00:42:07,250 Let's go back to cloud code and see what the agents are doing. 663 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,740 Oh, hi agents. 664 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:11,630 What are you doing? 665 00:42:12,350 --> 00:42:15,500 Oh, you're building me a visual or something That's exciting. 666 00:42:16,430 --> 00:42:18,470 So you see here it's updating me. 667 00:42:18,830 --> 00:42:20,420 It says that. 668 00:42:20,850 --> 00:42:22,740 three of seven agents are done now. 669 00:42:22,740 --> 00:42:24,300 Four of seven are done. 670 00:42:25,170 --> 00:42:26,700 So this does take a minute, right? 671 00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:29,430 It's doing a massive amount of work right here. 672 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:34,450 I don't wanna pretend otherwise, but it will eventually load that 673 00:42:34,450 --> 00:42:39,665 output and it will give a far more detailed report than, Geometrics did. 674 00:42:39,705 --> 00:42:39,735 Okay. 675 00:42:40,215 --> 00:42:45,605 If you have a website, management company or if you're playing with 676 00:42:45,605 --> 00:42:48,935 this and you have someone on your team that manages the marketing and 677 00:42:48,935 --> 00:42:52,445 they're also in charge of the website, you can literally take this report to 678 00:42:52,445 --> 00:42:57,125 them and say, Hey, go fix these things because I want our SEO to be better. 679 00:42:57,125 --> 00:42:59,105 I want our search visibility to improve. 680 00:42:59,105 --> 00:43:04,455 I want, people who have accessibility needs to be able to access parts 681 00:43:04,455 --> 00:43:06,915 of our website that currently they're unable to access. 682 00:43:07,154 --> 00:43:10,904 So super, super valuable for literally anyone that has a website. 683 00:43:11,234 --> 00:43:12,795 I wish it were a little bit faster. 684 00:43:12,795 --> 00:43:14,475 It would be more fun if it were faster. 685 00:43:14,714 --> 00:43:14,895 I think. 686 00:43:14,945 --> 00:43:17,525 the url, the cloud is mismatched. 687 00:43:18,025 --> 00:43:21,220 Oh, oh, oh. 688 00:43:21,220 --> 00:43:22,360 Fun story. 689 00:43:23,410 --> 00:43:27,100 Well, this is a great on demand example of what not to do. 690 00:43:27,340 --> 00:43:31,779 So instead of giving it the URLI told it to use Bamboo's website 691 00:43:32,290 --> 00:43:34,480 and it didn't know for sure. 692 00:43:34,570 --> 00:43:34,960 Okay. 693 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,250 It took a minute to figure it out. 694 00:43:36,250 --> 00:43:40,390 It seems though it didn't know for sure what website I was talking about, right? 695 00:43:40,509 --> 00:43:40,600 Mm-hmm. 696 00:43:40,910 --> 00:43:43,399 which is a, a big challenge I have with Claude. 697 00:43:43,805 --> 00:43:47,254 I just am waiting for the point where it can literally read my thoughts. 698 00:43:47,555 --> 00:43:49,955 And so I get really mad at it when it doesn't know. 699 00:43:49,955 --> 00:43:50,254 Right? 700 00:43:50,254 --> 00:43:53,375 Like I said, I said bring all the firetruck out. 701 00:43:53,375 --> 00:43:56,825 I didn't mean all the firetrucks, I meant like the ones that we needed, right? 702 00:43:56,825 --> 00:44:01,444 Exaggeration is a dangerous thing to do here, but I'm gonna say for the 703 00:44:01,444 --> 00:44:05,884 sake of time, I'm gonna say, stop what you're doing and show me what you have. 704 00:44:06,305 --> 00:44:07,085 I'm impatient. 705 00:44:08,915 --> 00:44:11,404 That way you guys don't have to wait for all seven of them because 706 00:44:11,404 --> 00:44:14,865 frankly, the difference between what you'll learn from all five and all 707 00:44:14,865 --> 00:44:18,825 seven is not gonna be super valuable for the sake of this demonstration. 708 00:44:19,394 --> 00:44:22,424 But the steps that were pretty basic, right? 709 00:44:22,424 --> 00:44:24,794 I decided a problem that I wanted to solve. 710 00:44:25,305 --> 00:44:29,535 I diagnosed that the capabilities were not existing within 711 00:44:29,535 --> 00:44:31,095 cloud code's current setup. 712 00:44:31,154 --> 00:44:33,314 I went and found a reputable repo. 713 00:44:33,555 --> 00:44:34,904 I borrowed from that. 714 00:44:35,549 --> 00:44:39,269 I found a tool that could benchmark so that I didn't trust what was 715 00:44:39,269 --> 00:44:41,879 happening without outside expertise. 716 00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:45,240 And then I ran the experiment. 717 00:44:46,329 --> 00:44:49,509 I might go on to the next one 'cause there's other things I wanna accomplish. 718 00:44:49,779 --> 00:44:54,159 So while we're waiting for the results of that demo, I'm gonna open 719 00:44:54,579 --> 00:44:59,469 a new session so that other one is running in the background still. 720 00:45:00,219 --> 00:45:02,879 I'm in a new chat window, It's a new chat window. 721 00:45:03,389 --> 00:45:09,419 Another fun thing, my definition of fund might not be the same as yours. 722 00:45:09,749 --> 00:45:12,719 I recently had a dispute with a landlord. 723 00:45:12,749 --> 00:45:15,869 And let's just for the sake of simplicity, even though it's 724 00:45:15,869 --> 00:45:19,259 somewhat of an overstatement, let's just say that that landlord 725 00:45:19,259 --> 00:45:21,419 didn't wanna gimme back my deposit. 726 00:45:21,419 --> 00:45:23,609 A very common thing that happens, 727 00:45:24,119 --> 00:45:27,779 I thought, you know, I wonder if Claude Code can file lawsuits. 728 00:45:28,109 --> 00:45:29,309 That would be kind of cool. 729 00:45:30,209 --> 00:45:32,339 Maybe I don't have to hire a lawyer anymore. 730 00:45:32,699 --> 00:45:36,589 And on a very serious note, the legal profession is one of the industries 731 00:45:36,589 --> 00:45:40,729 that is being most disrupted by Claude and these other tools. 732 00:45:40,729 --> 00:45:45,649 Right now, in Silicon Valley, there's three or four, VCs, startups, 733 00:45:46,049 --> 00:45:49,679 that are growing rapidly and they don't have more than just like a 734 00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:51,809 few lawyers, and they're using ai. 735 00:45:52,229 --> 00:45:55,319 I'm not gonna weigh in on whether that's good or bad or neutral. 736 00:45:55,319 --> 00:45:58,439 I'm not a lawyer, and I certainly would never diminish the amount of 737 00:45:58,739 --> 00:46:00,329 learning it takes to become one. 738 00:46:00,329 --> 00:46:01,859 It is a very complicated thing. 739 00:46:02,069 --> 00:46:05,699 However, a small claims lawsuit, you can't hire a lawyer for that anyways. 740 00:46:06,479 --> 00:46:07,739 You're not even allowed to have a lawyer. 741 00:46:07,739 --> 00:46:09,569 So I thought to myself. 742 00:46:09,579 --> 00:46:13,959 You know, there's gotta be like a GitHub repo out there for people like me, 743 00:46:14,229 --> 00:46:17,199 people that wanna do legal research. 744 00:46:18,249 --> 00:46:20,289 So I search for legal research 745 00:46:24,669 --> 00:46:31,169 repo GitHub, and sure enough, at the top of the results came up. 746 00:46:33,244 --> 00:46:36,694 Some of my favorite words, free law project. 747 00:46:37,294 --> 00:46:42,784 Now I got super curious, I like dug into this, and this is like a national project. 748 00:46:42,904 --> 00:46:50,674 It's a nonprofit that publishes these repos and they have a tool, they 749 00:46:50,674 --> 00:46:53,824 have many tools, but one of the tools they have is called court listener. 750 00:46:54,214 --> 00:46:58,654 And so this is an agent you can install that literally goes out and 751 00:46:58,654 --> 00:47:05,124 finds the most recent legal, cases in your region and or state that 752 00:47:05,124 --> 00:47:06,864 have to do with a specific topic. 753 00:47:07,854 --> 00:47:11,164 So, they've got a bunch of other tools as well. 754 00:47:11,569 --> 00:47:17,689 In order to get access to the repo in its full capacity, I also 755 00:47:17,689 --> 00:47:19,819 had to register for the free API. 756 00:47:20,149 --> 00:47:24,139 So I used that same question that I showed you, Hey, can you 757 00:47:24,139 --> 00:47:25,969 learn anything from this repo? 758 00:47:26,389 --> 00:47:27,559 And it said, yes. 759 00:47:27,559 --> 00:47:29,419 There's all sorts of things I can learn from this repo. 760 00:47:30,049 --> 00:47:34,429 And in order to use the one that I was most excited about, court listener, I 761 00:47:34,429 --> 00:47:40,569 had to register on, the company's free law, or I should say organization. 762 00:47:40,649 --> 00:47:42,479 I just signed up for a free account. 763 00:47:42,959 --> 00:47:47,789 Within five minutes I had a free account and there's a section that said API key. 764 00:47:48,119 --> 00:47:50,039 I copied and pasted that into Claude. 765 00:47:50,039 --> 00:47:52,259 And I said, here's the magic API key. 766 00:47:52,619 --> 00:47:54,179 And I started using it. 767 00:47:54,674 --> 00:47:58,769 It took me about 10 minutes to deploy this, and then I 768 00:47:58,769 --> 00:48:01,529 thought, okay, so what can it do? 769 00:48:02,909 --> 00:48:07,349 Since my divorce was over, I didn't have any divorce things to work with, 770 00:48:07,659 --> 00:48:11,079 which is sad 'cause I could have saved so much money if I had known about this. 771 00:48:11,079 --> 00:48:18,019 But I did have an actual, small claims case that I wanted to file and I lead off. 772 00:48:18,019 --> 00:48:22,999 One of the reasons, the very first reason actually, that I started 773 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,209 using Claude Code is, is this story. 774 00:48:26,639 --> 00:48:30,089 what I had found was that with Chat GT and many of the other API tools, 775 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,599 no matter what I told them, no matter how hard I tried, they just couldn't 776 00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:35,279 figure out how to fill in A PDF. 777 00:48:35,729 --> 00:48:41,549 And there is nothing that I hate as much in life as filling in A PDF by hand. 778 00:48:41,939 --> 00:48:49,109 I will go to great lengths, as I will now prove to you to not hand fill in A PDF. 779 00:48:49,469 --> 00:48:55,209 most, official PDFs are available online, so I just search for official court. 780 00:48:56,064 --> 00:49:01,164 Michigan PDFs, small claims, and this was a really important step. 781 00:49:01,164 --> 00:49:02,784 I didn't figure this out right away. 782 00:49:04,074 --> 00:49:08,724 I had to feed Claude Code, the actual PDFs one by one. 783 00:49:09,324 --> 00:49:14,364 And, what I learned during my first few experiments was that it would 784 00:49:14,364 --> 00:49:17,694 go and it would try to make its own version and it did a great job. 785 00:49:18,064 --> 00:49:21,184 but The court will automatically reject anything that doesn't use 786 00:49:21,214 --> 00:49:25,004 its official SCAO, court forms. 787 00:49:25,214 --> 00:49:30,044 So I took these forms and I uploaded them to Claude Code. 788 00:49:30,134 --> 00:49:37,834 So now at this point, I've got the form and I've got the, the legal research tool. 789 00:49:38,464 --> 00:49:42,784 And between those two things, I just did a really simple prompt, and I'm gonna put 790 00:49:42,784 --> 00:49:46,534 in a disclaimer here because I'm using my own and it will yell at me otherwise. 791 00:49:46,534 --> 00:49:50,044 So I'm gonna say, imagine we have never done this before. 792 00:49:51,874 --> 00:49:57,364 I want to file a small claims suit against my landlord. 793 00:49:57,424 --> 00:49:59,914 Again, just a fake example, of course. 794 00:50:00,274 --> 00:50:04,534 and they held my rental deposit. 795 00:50:04,954 --> 00:50:10,714 I have attached the PDFs, fill them out for me, and with just this 796 00:50:10,714 --> 00:50:13,444 simple prompt I got pretty far. 797 00:50:13,474 --> 00:50:17,884 But then the thing that drove me to search for the legal research tool, I realized. 798 00:50:18,229 --> 00:50:22,249 I don't know anything about the law and I don't know that Claude really knows 799 00:50:22,249 --> 00:50:26,089 that much about the law, so I really need to make sure it's doing it right. 800 00:50:26,089 --> 00:50:26,329 Right. 801 00:50:26,329 --> 00:50:30,409 So then I added in to my prompt something like using the court 802 00:50:31,009 --> 00:50:39,529 listener, agent and tools, research the law to make sure I have a valid 803 00:50:39,679 --> 00:50:44,869 legal claim, cite recent cases. 804 00:50:46,069 --> 00:50:52,819 I, again, am not a lawyer, But I did learn from the good wife that, court 805 00:50:53,299 --> 00:50:56,659 love legal cases that are recent. 806 00:50:57,199 --> 00:51:01,579 So the more recent you can cite something, the more excited a judge will be. 807 00:51:01,969 --> 00:51:03,369 And real story. 808 00:51:04,494 --> 00:51:09,114 I did this for an unrelated matter that I won't be specific about. 809 00:51:09,474 --> 00:51:13,874 And here I am, I am on Zoom in the court and I'm terrified 810 00:51:16,064 --> 00:51:19,814 because I have managed to file a lawsuit using Claude Code. 811 00:51:20,294 --> 00:51:21,884 And I don't know if I did it right. 812 00:51:22,274 --> 00:51:27,224 but I am, talking to the judge and I cite a case that I found with 813 00:51:27,224 --> 00:51:29,594 this exact setup, these exact tools. 814 00:51:30,104 --> 00:51:36,294 And for the first time in the entire, conversation, 'cause there was another 815 00:51:36,294 --> 00:51:41,064 lawyer present too, who is doing a very good job or seemed to be beating me. 816 00:51:41,724 --> 00:51:46,434 The judge literally stopped the proceeding and said, Mr. Haynes, 817 00:51:47,784 --> 00:51:51,114 can you tell me what the name of that case was that you just cited? 818 00:51:52,104 --> 00:51:55,494 And thankfully I had it up on my screen and I cited the case and 819 00:51:55,494 --> 00:51:57,384 he said, I've never heard of that. 820 00:51:57,564 --> 00:52:00,114 And thank God I had that up on my screen too. 821 00:52:00,334 --> 00:52:04,714 and I read it to him and he said, I am not familiar with that case. 822 00:52:04,714 --> 00:52:06,484 Thank you for teaching me about that. 823 00:52:07,094 --> 00:52:09,554 and the whole rest of my proceeding went very well. 824 00:52:09,874 --> 00:52:13,424 and then as soon as the zoom ended, I panicked. 825 00:52:13,424 --> 00:52:16,934 And I thought, what if I just told him about a case that 826 00:52:16,934 --> 00:52:18,824 happened recently, right? 827 00:52:18,829 --> 00:52:21,284 Because I didn't check beforehand. 828 00:52:21,884 --> 00:52:27,644 And so I quickly googled the case and sure enough it was real and I went and I had, 829 00:52:27,894 --> 00:52:30,564 a drink and took the rest of the day off. 830 00:52:30,724 --> 00:52:34,804 but I also want you to hear like, this is, this is a real use case. 831 00:52:34,804 --> 00:52:37,294 Like I've really actually used it this way. 832 00:52:37,684 --> 00:52:39,814 so I will drag you through the whole thing. 833 00:52:40,124 --> 00:52:44,144 because it would be an unnecessary thing for you to watch unfold step by step. 834 00:52:44,354 --> 00:52:50,384 But basically what it does with this setup is it goes out, it does research, it 835 00:52:50,834 --> 00:52:54,674 fills out all the PDFs, verbatim, right? 836 00:52:54,724 --> 00:52:59,974 it has my address, my information, Like at this point I would've 837 00:52:59,974 --> 00:53:01,654 fed it the evidence too. 838 00:53:01,984 --> 00:53:04,854 So I fed it, the receipts or whatever it might have been. 839 00:53:05,334 --> 00:53:08,734 And it spits up a comprehensive, court case. 840 00:53:08,734 --> 00:53:11,334 And I'll stop with this demo and we'll move on to something else. 841 00:53:11,484 --> 00:53:15,474 But I got so excited about this that I decided, as so many people 842 00:53:15,474 --> 00:53:20,254 do with Claude Code and, these other tools, I decided I absolutely am 843 00:53:20,254 --> 00:53:22,544 gonna start an app, that's a lawyer. 844 00:53:22,559 --> 00:53:22,619 Hmm. 845 00:53:23,609 --> 00:53:27,959 After sitting on that for three days, I then realized I'm not a lawyer, and that 846 00:53:27,959 --> 00:53:32,549 if I start an app that pretends to be a lawyer, I'm probably gonna get sued. 847 00:53:33,009 --> 00:53:37,509 and as much as that would be very like meta and intriguing, I decided not to. 848 00:53:37,729 --> 00:53:39,309 So you used your own app to sue you? 849 00:53:39,709 --> 00:53:39,909 Yeah. 850 00:53:40,429 --> 00:53:45,769 I decided not to head down this path, but I won $2,000 last 851 00:53:45,769 --> 00:53:47,449 week from a credit card company. 852 00:53:48,019 --> 00:53:48,109 Nice. 853 00:53:48,159 --> 00:53:52,809 that had refused to remove an incorrect, piece of information 854 00:53:52,819 --> 00:53:54,199 from my credit card report. 855 00:53:54,199 --> 00:53:58,699 And I did it all with Claude Code and this legal research setup that I'm describing. 856 00:53:58,699 --> 00:54:01,189 So again, it is like a real thing. 857 00:54:01,189 --> 00:54:05,249 You really can do this, just as you can really do the SEO audit. 858 00:54:05,249 --> 00:54:10,619 So let's go back to that SEO audit and wouldn't it be wonderful? 859 00:54:10,919 --> 00:54:11,999 Yes, they're done. 860 00:54:12,029 --> 00:54:12,419 Okay. 861 00:54:12,629 --> 00:54:13,529 So here we have. 862 00:54:14,204 --> 00:54:16,814 Remember I told you earlier about those MD files. 863 00:54:16,874 --> 00:54:18,674 It loves these MD files. 864 00:54:18,974 --> 00:54:24,764 I'm gonna say for the sake of time, show me the contents of the MD file here. 865 00:54:24,764 --> 00:54:29,094 Now in stream, sometimes it really likes MD files. 866 00:54:29,124 --> 00:54:32,364 It will make MD files for everything without permission. 867 00:54:32,364 --> 00:54:38,434 I've used it to take an MD file and build me a little, HTML presentation fine. 868 00:54:38,434 --> 00:54:42,004 So, I mean, it's a website, it's just a H TM L document on your computer. 869 00:54:42,004 --> 00:54:46,554 You just open it up in Chrome, but it looks really nice and fine. 870 00:54:46,874 --> 00:54:48,674 Yeah, graphs and everything. 871 00:54:50,084 --> 00:54:52,424 It, I learned about it 'cause it just did it for me once 872 00:54:52,424 --> 00:54:53,834 and I was like, I like that. 873 00:54:54,794 --> 00:54:55,694 That's really fun. 874 00:54:55,694 --> 00:54:58,614 It doesn't seem to wanna show it to me, so I'll just open it up here. 875 00:54:58,614 --> 00:55:04,094 But, sometimes it seems to get like really intense about me using the MD file, which, 876 00:55:04,094 --> 00:55:05,624 you know, I guess if it's a computer. 877 00:55:05,709 --> 00:55:05,799 There. 878 00:55:05,799 --> 00:55:08,619 It's, you know, it's like I gave you this magical thing. 879 00:55:08,619 --> 00:55:09,819 You definitely wanna see it. 880 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,719 So hopefully it, my Mac has managed to index this and search so I don't have to 881 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,239 drag you through horrible search process. 882 00:55:16,989 --> 00:55:22,329 Oh, Alfred and me had a time together, but I got tired of it really, you 883 00:55:23,259 --> 00:55:25,059 know, I go through tools sometimes. 884 00:55:25,109 --> 00:55:28,079 So it's not organized as pretty as I would prefer it to be. 885 00:55:28,349 --> 00:55:32,339 And therefore it's, that is fun to look at as I wish that it would be, 886 00:55:32,669 --> 00:55:34,619 certainly a lot less easy to see. 887 00:55:34,919 --> 00:55:37,559 But as you can see, this is highly technical in nature. 888 00:55:37,559 --> 00:55:42,029 It's auditing the way the code is structured and it's giving 889 00:55:42,029 --> 00:55:46,959 me like specific things that I could do, to improve upon it. 890 00:55:47,314 --> 00:55:48,604 I like it much better. 891 00:55:49,834 --> 00:55:51,244 Show me here, Claude. 892 00:55:54,304 --> 00:55:56,374 So just tell us, generate a visual report. 893 00:55:57,934 --> 00:55:59,704 Lots of all caps for me. 894 00:56:00,184 --> 00:56:04,654 you know, when the AI takes over, I don't know if it's gonna like me, it's gonna 895 00:56:04,654 --> 00:56:06,484 remember all the things I said to it. 896 00:56:08,494 --> 00:56:09,784 I might be the first to go. 897 00:56:09,784 --> 00:56:10,354 I don't know. 898 00:56:10,564 --> 00:56:13,564 But, and I wanted you to see like the actual output just for 899 00:56:13,564 --> 00:56:15,874 proof of validity, but promise. 900 00:56:16,154 --> 00:56:18,764 It really does give you like a super detailed output. 901 00:56:19,014 --> 00:56:22,194 and then what I did is, because I had it on cloud code, I used that 902 00:56:22,194 --> 00:56:24,114 to then go recode all the sites. 903 00:56:24,954 --> 00:56:29,814 And one of my favorite things about cloud code that's in a similar direction, like 904 00:56:29,814 --> 00:56:32,814 if you're looking at this SEO audit and you're like, I don't even have power 905 00:56:32,814 --> 00:56:37,644 to change my site, or I don't even have a website or I wanna remake a website. 906 00:56:38,004 --> 00:56:40,794 One of the simplest ways in the whole world right now to make a 907 00:56:40,794 --> 00:56:45,534 website is to find a website you like, put the URL in cloud code and 908 00:56:45,534 --> 00:56:47,574 say, I really like this website. 909 00:56:47,934 --> 00:56:52,254 Here are my brands and my core values and my services. 910 00:56:52,734 --> 00:56:56,364 Rebuild me a version of this website and it will literally copy 911 00:56:56,364 --> 00:56:59,964 and paste the entire code base and start making changes to it. 912 00:57:00,354 --> 00:57:02,034 disclaimer, I'm not a lawyer. 913 00:57:02,034 --> 00:57:05,574 Disclaimer, there could be copyright issues there if you don't do 914 00:57:05,574 --> 00:57:07,404 that with some sort of caution. 915 00:57:07,684 --> 00:57:09,904 but you really can build anything. 916 00:57:10,629 --> 00:57:15,399 my setup right now with websites that I've built, I use CloudFlare to host all 917 00:57:15,399 --> 00:57:18,159 of the pages, and it's like super cheap. 918 00:57:18,579 --> 00:57:21,069 And then I build everything in cloud code. 919 00:57:21,069 --> 00:57:24,749 So I publish right to CloudFlare, from Cloud Code. 920 00:57:24,809 --> 00:57:29,279 I have the API connected, and so I can literally make changes 921 00:57:29,279 --> 00:57:30,839 to my website constantly. 922 00:57:31,119 --> 00:57:32,829 like as I'm a startup. 923 00:57:32,829 --> 00:57:34,509 That happens quite frequently for me. 924 00:57:34,749 --> 00:57:38,019 So as like a very simple example of something I built with literally 925 00:57:38,019 --> 00:57:42,099 like one Claude code prompt the other day I was thinking. 926 00:57:43,089 --> 00:57:47,229 you know, I really don't like scheduling with Tim Haynes. 927 00:57:47,229 --> 00:57:51,279 The link in my email is bothering me because I'm using Gmail or 928 00:57:51,279 --> 00:57:53,199 Google's like free scheduling tool. 929 00:57:53,199 --> 00:57:56,999 I canceled ly when, the free scheduling tool came out. 930 00:57:57,269 --> 00:58:02,179 But then I started feeling upset because it wasn't like a branded, experience. 931 00:58:02,509 --> 00:58:04,579 And I literally just typed in a paragraph. 932 00:58:04,579 --> 00:58:06,919 I said, Hey, I use Claude. 933 00:58:06,919 --> 00:58:09,949 I use Google's free scheduling tool. 934 00:58:10,189 --> 00:58:15,079 I don't like sharing a link that's like messy in my email. 935 00:58:15,709 --> 00:58:18,409 I have this unicorn flames.com website. 936 00:58:18,739 --> 00:58:21,139 I'd love to have like a branded experience. 937 00:58:21,589 --> 00:58:26,359 And literally in 10 minutes, it built me a branded experience. 938 00:58:26,599 --> 00:58:29,329 I'm not saying it's gonna change your life, you know, it's, it 939 00:58:29,329 --> 00:58:31,609 still eventually goes to the tool. 940 00:58:31,939 --> 00:58:34,999 And if I got further into it, I could get rid of that click too. 941 00:58:35,029 --> 00:58:36,589 But my point in that is it's. 942 00:58:36,664 --> 00:58:38,824 So easy to build things. 943 00:58:39,034 --> 00:58:43,465 The reason that everyone that's using Claude Code right now, or Open 944 00:58:43,465 --> 00:58:46,564 Claude is deciding they're gonna be a software engineer and start a 945 00:58:46,564 --> 00:58:51,904 startup, a craze that that definitely has its faults and downsides is that 946 00:58:51,904 --> 00:58:54,184 it's just so easy to build things. 947 00:58:54,244 --> 00:58:58,744 If you can imagine it, you can truly create it. 948 00:58:59,944 --> 00:59:03,124 Now, I wanna walk you through something that I think will be super valuable, 949 00:59:03,124 --> 00:59:09,064 which is like the specifics of how I've set it up Now, in no way, shape or form 950 00:59:09,064 --> 00:59:14,584 am I saying that this is the best way to set it up or the only way to set it up. 951 00:59:14,664 --> 00:59:19,714 none of those things would be true, but if I had had, someone tell me 952 00:59:19,714 --> 00:59:21,814 these things, it would've saved me in a immense amount of time. 953 00:59:21,814 --> 00:59:24,364 And that is my goal, is to kind of get you to the point where you're 954 00:59:24,364 --> 00:59:25,954 building as soon as possible. 955 00:59:26,344 --> 00:59:28,564 So I'm going to pull. 956 00:59:29,779 --> 00:59:34,189 The actual setup that I'm using, and I'll just kind of run you through it real quick 957 00:59:34,219 --> 00:59:37,039 and then we will wrap up with q and a. 958 00:59:38,329 --> 00:59:39,679 Okay, good. 959 00:59:39,679 --> 00:59:41,689 There's no scary messages in chat. 960 00:59:41,689 --> 00:59:44,379 I just had to check real quick Oh, I typed in Claude. 961 00:59:44,379 --> 00:59:46,479 I'm so, wow. 962 00:59:46,479 --> 00:59:47,529 I have a real addiction. 963 00:59:48,129 --> 00:59:50,139 Can't even type in the right website anymore. 964 00:59:50,139 --> 00:59:52,529 I'm trying to type in, Claude for everything. 965 00:59:55,049 --> 00:59:58,169 It really has gotten to the point where I feel like Claude and I need 966 00:59:58,169 --> 00:59:59,459 some time away from each other, 967 01:00:01,624 --> 01:00:07,199 you know, no relationship is healthy if it's nonstop, so we probably need 968 01:00:07,199 --> 01:00:08,909 to take some space from each other. 969 01:00:08,909 --> 01:00:11,939 But anyways, so. 970 01:00:13,094 --> 01:00:18,504 The setup that I use right now costs me, well, as of this presentation, 971 01:00:18,504 --> 01:00:21,894 it costs me, I'm spending $200 a month for Claude Code. 972 01:00:22,464 --> 01:00:26,474 You could easily get away with, with a hundred dollars a month, you could 973 01:00:26,474 --> 01:00:28,124 easily get away with $20 a month. 974 01:00:28,124 --> 01:00:34,394 Some people I see on the forms that are especially, cost savvy, are using two 975 01:00:34,394 --> 01:00:39,584 free instances of Claude to run Claude Code because you can connect the API 976 01:00:39,794 --> 01:00:42,474 key from one, to Claude code, right? 977 01:00:42,474 --> 01:00:44,754 So there's all sorts of ways to hack the setup. 978 01:00:45,174 --> 01:00:49,734 another way that I limit token usage, there's one of the many repos you 979 01:00:49,734 --> 01:00:52,944 can find is called a token router. 980 01:00:53,934 --> 01:00:56,814 And so what that does is it routes. 981 01:00:57,099 --> 01:01:03,459 All of the, like, the easy stuff is how I would describe it to other, a APIs. 982 01:01:03,459 --> 01:01:08,849 So I have Gemini for free, because I have like the business suite or whatever. 983 01:01:08,849 --> 01:01:11,669 So it's suppose technically free, but it doesn't cost extra. 984 01:01:11,969 --> 01:01:16,679 So I have it set up so that 80% of what I do, even in the interface 985 01:01:16,769 --> 01:01:18,929 we're just looking at together, it's actually behind the scenes. 986 01:01:18,929 --> 01:01:22,739 It's routing to Gemini and it's using my tokens there. 987 01:01:23,219 --> 01:01:27,449 And most of the token usage that I have is in the chat interface, 988 01:01:27,449 --> 01:01:32,279 which is the primary thing that I like about, Claude Claude. 989 01:01:32,819 --> 01:01:38,279 Code allows you to get to the level of orchestrator faster, in 990 01:01:38,279 --> 01:01:40,199 my opinion, than any other tool. 991 01:01:40,199 --> 01:01:43,389 Now, I haven't actually used, Co-Pilot. 992 01:01:43,929 --> 01:01:46,999 I'm not a Microsoft fan, so I haven't played with that and I 993 01:01:46,999 --> 01:01:50,389 am certainly not suggesting that it doesn't do great things too. 994 01:01:50,394 --> 01:01:54,019 But getting to the level of orchestrator is a really big step. 995 01:01:54,019 --> 01:01:58,009 If you wanna think about, learning to use cloud code in like 996 01:01:58,009 --> 01:02:01,339 levels, there's a helpful visual. 997 01:02:02,349 --> 01:02:06,189 that kind of explains the different levels that you can use FOD code at. 998 01:02:06,549 --> 01:02:10,629 And if you're feeling like today, like that was way too much, keep in mind that 999 01:02:10,629 --> 01:02:16,339 we ran through a lot of levels together really, really quickly, and didn't get as 1000 01:02:16,339 --> 01:02:18,949 far into the weeds, as I would love to do. 1001 01:02:18,949 --> 01:02:22,299 We're going to continue down this path, next week. 1002 01:02:22,399 --> 01:02:22,699 So there's. 1003 01:02:23,589 --> 01:02:25,509 Different levels of Claude code. 1004 01:02:25,839 --> 01:02:29,439 I won't summarize them in detail 'cause that would be unhelpful, 1005 01:02:29,679 --> 01:02:33,129 but what I want you to think about is three different levels. 1006 01:02:33,159 --> 01:02:36,549 Level one is like the basic, you're just dumping stuff into chat. 1007 01:02:36,579 --> 01:02:40,519 You're basically using it, the same way you might use the web interface, 1008 01:02:40,519 --> 01:02:42,169 but it's a little bit more connected. 1009 01:02:42,739 --> 01:02:43,759 Nothing wrong with that level. 1010 01:02:43,759 --> 01:02:44,779 That's where I started. 1011 01:02:45,109 --> 01:02:50,689 Level two is like infrastructure and next time I wanna get deeper into 1012 01:02:50,689 --> 01:02:55,409 infrastructure as I'm hoping to do like a full end-to-end build of something. 1013 01:02:55,439 --> 01:02:58,949 'cause the demos are fun, but we're flying through a lot of stuff fast. 1014 01:02:58,949 --> 01:03:02,069 But in the infrastructure, one of the most important things you 1015 01:03:02,069 --> 01:03:04,169 can do is what's called a loop. 1016 01:03:04,529 --> 01:03:07,469 And so when you create loop. 1017 01:03:07,839 --> 01:03:12,819 Slaw will know automatically to save or to update something. 1018 01:03:13,029 --> 01:03:19,239 So like a really simple loop would be, every time I update this webpage, 1019 01:03:19,509 --> 01:03:25,149 make sure you also update the internal documentation located here. 1020 01:03:25,229 --> 01:03:27,569 So keeping things together. 1021 01:03:28,744 --> 01:03:30,154 Loops are really good at that. 1022 01:03:30,434 --> 01:03:34,654 a lot of the loops that I have, I use a project management system called, Clickup. 1023 01:03:35,524 --> 01:03:38,464 Many of you may use other tools that do the same basic thing. 1024 01:03:38,464 --> 01:03:41,014 whether it's Basecamp or Asana or whatever. 1025 01:03:41,254 --> 01:03:43,414 All of these tools have APIs. 1026 01:03:43,714 --> 01:03:49,564 And so a lot of times I'm asking the Loop to automatically update the project or 1027 01:03:49,564 --> 01:03:53,804 the task because one of the challenges I had before I started using loops was 1028 01:03:53,804 --> 01:03:56,204 that the tasks were out of date, right? 1029 01:03:56,484 --> 01:03:58,404 which is a problem for project management. 1030 01:03:58,944 --> 01:04:02,634 So if you think about the second level kind of being like architecture, I'm 1031 01:04:02,634 --> 01:04:06,024 featuring loops just 'cause I hadn't talked about those before, but memory 1032 01:04:06,054 --> 01:04:13,759 and D files, your setup, AWS servers, cloud, all that, The highest level 1033 01:04:13,759 --> 01:04:17,779 that you can reach in Claude is what I would describe as orchestration. 1034 01:04:18,049 --> 01:04:21,949 And that's where you're truly a queen bee managing an entire colony 1035 01:04:22,189 --> 01:04:23,659 when you're doing orchestration. 1036 01:04:24,019 --> 01:04:27,649 And one of the things that Claude can do that not all the AI tools can do, is it 1037 01:04:27,649 --> 01:04:29,899 can run, you saw, use the word parallel. 1038 01:04:30,379 --> 01:04:34,709 It can do things in parallel I usually use the word simultaneously 1039 01:04:34,739 --> 01:04:36,719 'cause it's easier for me to spell. 1040 01:04:37,949 --> 01:04:38,519 Either way. 1041 01:04:38,519 --> 01:04:40,109 I never spell either, right? 1042 01:04:40,949 --> 01:04:41,669 I don't know why. 1043 01:04:41,859 --> 01:04:41,869 but. 1044 01:04:42,109 --> 01:04:45,289 Yeah, the idea there is just like, it sounds, it's doing 1045 01:04:45,289 --> 01:04:46,879 multiple things at once, right? 1046 01:04:46,999 --> 01:04:50,959 So with that SEO audit, it was running those agents in parallel. 1047 01:04:50,959 --> 01:04:53,939 I didn't have to wait for it to do each one, or at least 1048 01:04:53,939 --> 01:04:54,989 I shouldn't have had to wait. 1049 01:04:54,989 --> 01:04:58,609 It didn't seem like it was cooperating from my perspective, but you really 1050 01:04:58,609 --> 01:05:02,269 wanted to be running things in parallel so that it's doing as much as is possible. 1051 01:05:02,719 --> 01:05:08,669 What I want you to know though, is that if you skip the, the infrastructure part, and 1052 01:05:08,669 --> 01:05:13,619 try to move straight into orchestration, you'll run into a lot of problems and 1053 01:05:13,679 --> 01:05:18,369 most of the problems that I am running into right now, but most of the challenges 1054 01:05:18,369 --> 01:05:22,809 that I'm running into are caused because I tried to skip the infrastructure. 1055 01:05:23,259 --> 01:05:25,899 'cause you know, that's just how my brain works sometimes. 1056 01:05:26,079 --> 01:05:27,609 I wanted to see what all would break. 1057 01:05:28,299 --> 01:05:34,209 Before I bothered with the infrastructure and it's rather difficult to go backwards. 1058 01:05:34,449 --> 01:05:36,369 so I would highly encourage you not to do that. 1059 01:05:38,109 --> 01:05:42,369 So I've got a Vulture that's a, a virtual private server. 1060 01:05:42,369 --> 01:05:43,299 We talked about that. 1061 01:05:43,389 --> 01:05:45,309 I've got that handling my email. 1062 01:05:45,639 --> 01:05:47,829 I've got it Also handling like a voice agent. 1063 01:05:48,159 --> 01:05:51,109 I haven't perfected the voice agent right now, but I've got it. 1064 01:05:51,559 --> 01:05:57,499 testing this week its job is to make a call to an oil change place, a 1065 01:05:57,499 --> 01:06:02,179 veterinarian place, and my doctor, and to schedule appointments. 1066 01:06:02,209 --> 01:06:07,149 And it's like talking for me and I'm like reading the logs and wondering what 1067 01:06:07,149 --> 01:06:09,759 the experience is like for other people. 1068 01:06:09,999 --> 01:06:13,749 but yeah, my goal is to never have to make a phone call again. 1069 01:06:13,749 --> 01:06:17,709 I hate scheduling appointments and so many places I used to schedule appointments 1070 01:06:17,709 --> 01:06:19,599 with require you to do it over the phone. 1071 01:06:19,879 --> 01:06:21,409 so I've got that running. 1072 01:06:21,959 --> 01:06:23,519 the virtual private server too. 1073 01:06:23,519 --> 01:06:24,959 It's got its own server. 1074 01:06:25,139 --> 01:06:28,529 'cause it takes up quite a bit of room, takes up quite a bit of memory. 1075 01:06:29,099 --> 01:06:29,459 The. 1076 01:06:30,314 --> 01:06:33,014 Cloud is where I'm running all the agents. 1077 01:06:33,014 --> 01:06:36,854 Those are the, the, the queen bees that are like running constantly. 1078 01:06:37,124 --> 01:06:40,484 Those are all working on AWS and if that goes down, I get like 1079 01:06:40,484 --> 01:06:43,904 a critical alert email and then I have to go troubleshoot it. 1080 01:06:44,234 --> 01:06:47,984 And again, because I set this up retroactively, it took me quite 1081 01:06:47,984 --> 01:06:49,754 a while to squash all the bugs. 1082 01:06:49,754 --> 01:06:54,134 I think I'm down to like, maybe only a few bugs right now, but during the 1083 01:06:54,134 --> 01:06:56,574 first week it was a total disaster. 1084 01:06:56,884 --> 01:06:59,464 I was up till two in the morning every day I tried to fix it all. 1085 01:07:01,174 --> 01:07:03,574 These are the MCP servers I'm using. 1086 01:07:03,754 --> 01:07:07,354 I've got focus, my CRM, I've got a hard rule set where 1087 01:07:07,354 --> 01:07:09,124 nothing can go out to anyone. 1088 01:07:09,564 --> 01:07:14,154 No contact can be contacted in any way, shape, or form, or even worked 1089 01:07:14,154 --> 01:07:15,714 with if they're not in the CRM. 1090 01:07:15,774 --> 01:07:16,764 I've got Gmail. 1091 01:07:17,024 --> 01:07:18,554 I showed you court listener. 1092 01:07:19,004 --> 01:07:24,534 I've got, the swarm brain was originally a repo that I borrowed from, which 1093 01:07:24,534 --> 01:07:26,214 is how I got the language swarm. 1094 01:07:26,664 --> 01:07:29,004 the Clickup tool I talked to you about. 1095 01:07:29,154 --> 01:07:31,284 Of course, I've got it connected to my Google calendar. 1096 01:07:31,684 --> 01:07:35,944 I use a, another browser that also functions on the cloud 1097 01:07:35,944 --> 01:07:39,724 called Go Login that allows you to run like multiple social media 1098 01:07:39,724 --> 01:07:41,914 profiles at all at the same time. 1099 01:07:41,914 --> 01:07:46,144 It has fingerprint detection, avoidance, and a and a few other things that 1100 01:07:46,144 --> 01:07:48,184 help you stop from getting flagged. 1101 01:07:48,544 --> 01:07:50,434 if you're doing things, let's just call them. 1102 01:07:50,684 --> 01:07:54,474 and then, I connected this all to my money management tool as well. 1103 01:07:54,504 --> 01:07:55,914 'cause I thought that would be fun. 1104 01:07:56,214 --> 01:08:00,234 So I can work directly with like all my financial data via Monarch money. 1105 01:08:00,594 --> 01:08:06,834 And then Figma is where I have started building out all like my design templates. 1106 01:08:06,994 --> 01:08:10,924 although you saw me using Canva, Canva doesn't play very nice with ai. 1107 01:08:11,254 --> 01:08:13,924 They pretend that they do, but they're really not that good at it. 1108 01:08:15,274 --> 01:08:18,124 These are some of the hard rules I have just for inspiration. 1109 01:08:18,474 --> 01:08:22,584 and they sound stupid 'cause that's exactly what hard rules should be. 1110 01:08:22,584 --> 01:08:23,934 They should be kinda stupid. 1111 01:08:24,294 --> 01:08:24,654 never. 1112 01:08:25,194 --> 01:08:27,384 Stop doing something without approval. 1113 01:08:27,384 --> 01:08:29,154 Never spend money without approval. 1114 01:08:29,154 --> 01:08:33,744 Never claim something is done unless verified there are all sorts of case 1115 01:08:33,744 --> 01:08:38,454 studies out there where if you say, don't stop until all the lights are green on 1116 01:08:38,454 --> 01:08:42,714 the dashboard, it will just change all the lights to green on the dashboard 1117 01:08:42,984 --> 01:08:44,424 and then tell you that it's done. 1118 01:08:44,424 --> 01:08:48,474 So in its mind, it did exactly what you told it to do, but in your mind it did 1119 01:08:48,474 --> 01:08:49,974 exactly what you didn't want it to do. 1120 01:08:50,374 --> 01:08:55,684 never contact anyone outside the USAI did that because it loves to 1121 01:08:55,684 --> 01:08:59,614 confuse Holland, Michigan with the Netherlands and it was driving me crazy. 1122 01:08:59,944 --> 01:09:01,924 Never replaced workshopped copy. 1123 01:09:02,224 --> 01:09:06,604 It's done that a few times where it will just decide on its own accord 1124 01:09:06,604 --> 01:09:10,084 that the last three hours of work together didn't matter and that it 1125 01:09:10,084 --> 01:09:11,824 has a better version of the copy. 1126 01:09:12,124 --> 01:09:16,234 and it has even deleted my copy, which made me especially unhappy. 1127 01:09:17,224 --> 01:09:22,774 As you can imagine, I can do everything from business operations, content, 1128 01:09:22,774 --> 01:09:27,349 financial tracking, scheduling marketing, legal research, browser automation, 1129 01:09:27,759 --> 01:09:32,439 to voice communication, and I'm using the voice communication more and more. 1130 01:09:32,739 --> 01:09:36,604 I've been reading, case studies where once you get the voice agent really working 1131 01:09:36,604 --> 01:09:40,899 the way you want it to, where people are talking to Claude over the phone. 1132 01:09:41,619 --> 01:09:43,149 which would be really useful for me. 1133 01:09:43,149 --> 01:09:46,579 For example, the way I made this presentation, I went on a walk 1134 01:09:46,579 --> 01:09:49,669 last night and I voice recorded myself for an hour and a half 1135 01:09:49,719 --> 01:09:54,619 And then I transcribed all that and I created a prompt telling 1136 01:09:54,619 --> 01:09:55,819 Claude to make this deck. 1137 01:09:56,269 --> 01:09:57,319 And it did a pretty good job. 1138 01:09:57,349 --> 01:09:59,269 I've made zero changes to this step. 1139 01:09:59,459 --> 01:10:02,489 from the design standpoint, it could certainly be improved. 1140 01:10:02,489 --> 01:10:03,929 It's kind of pretty boring. 1141 01:10:04,129 --> 01:10:05,959 but I literally have made. 1142 01:10:06,349 --> 01:10:08,209 No changes at all to this deck. 1143 01:10:08,239 --> 01:10:08,299 Wow. 1144 01:10:08,299 --> 01:10:13,999 This was all created from a transcription that I created while on a walk last night. 1145 01:10:13,999 --> 01:10:16,879 So the idea of being able to like, talk to Claude directly on the 1146 01:10:16,879 --> 01:10:21,139 phone, I don't know if that's, if that's exciting or strange or both. 1147 01:10:21,139 --> 01:10:22,309 Probably somewhere in between. 1148 01:10:24,350 --> 01:10:27,289 These are the repos that I've used, and again, this will 1149 01:10:27,289 --> 01:10:28,759 all be, this is all recorded. 1150 01:10:28,759 --> 01:10:33,109 I'll give you copies to all this, but I've found repos for SEO court, 1151 01:10:33,109 --> 01:10:37,879 listener playwright, the swarm brain, and then, this other one I just 1152 01:10:37,879 --> 01:10:41,209 started working with, which is how this PowerPoint worked so well that 1153 01:10:41,209 --> 01:10:43,039 wasn't using like default settings. 1154 01:10:43,039 --> 01:10:47,129 I found a repo, that makes it really easy to use transcripts to 1155 01:10:47,179 --> 01:10:49,349 programmatically generate, decks. 1156 01:10:49,894 --> 01:10:52,894 before that I was not having very good luck with depth generation. 1157 01:10:53,374 --> 01:10:56,824 I'm getting to the point where I'm quite happy what it's able to produce. 1158 01:10:58,084 --> 01:11:00,574 And then this is how I have my memory system set up. 1159 01:11:00,874 --> 01:11:02,374 Cloud MD is the parent. 1160 01:11:02,374 --> 01:11:03,574 It will always be the parent. 1161 01:11:03,784 --> 01:11:06,604 It's the very first file that cloud loads when you open it up. 1162 01:11:07,084 --> 01:11:11,824 And then I've got memory md, which is basically like the glossary or the 1163 01:11:11,824 --> 01:11:16,264 directory where Claude goes to find references to all the other things. 1164 01:11:16,654 --> 01:11:19,894 I've got a separate section for feedback memories. 1165 01:11:20,164 --> 01:11:23,854 I've got all sorts of like project notes stored in here, like, you 1166 01:11:23,854 --> 01:11:25,764 know, for the Blue Ocean project. 1167 01:11:25,824 --> 01:11:28,074 Greg has a birthday on the seventh. 1168 01:11:28,314 --> 01:11:30,864 Make sure you tell him happy birthday, that kind of stuff. 1169 01:11:31,264 --> 01:11:31,624 and then. 1170 01:11:32,244 --> 01:11:35,724 I realize that even though I don't have that many files on my computer, I have 1171 01:11:35,724 --> 01:11:38,964 like 2000, a lot of them are, PDFs. 1172 01:11:39,204 --> 01:11:42,924 And so I've spent a massive amount of time just organizing my computer. 1173 01:11:43,194 --> 01:11:47,304 That's actually the one thing that I found Claude Cowork to be really good at. 1174 01:11:47,304 --> 01:11:48,744 Yeah, I, I just used it. 1175 01:11:48,984 --> 01:11:52,914 I'd been doing that all with like my own custom scripts and then I, I switched 1176 01:11:52,914 --> 01:11:56,694 back to Cloud Cowork and realized that I was doing it the hard way. 1177 01:11:57,024 --> 01:12:02,844 cloud Cowork is really good at organizing files, but just like any AI tool, it's 1178 01:12:02,844 --> 01:12:04,824 only as good as the data you give it. 1179 01:12:05,154 --> 01:12:08,274 And it's more importantly, it's only as good as the data 1180 01:12:08,274 --> 01:12:09,504 that it knows how to find. 1181 01:12:10,164 --> 01:12:10,464 Right. 1182 01:12:10,674 --> 01:12:15,564 So by taking the time to organize my files and then to create a system where 1183 01:12:15,564 --> 01:12:20,304 it knows where those files are, I don't have to constantly say, I've already told 1184 01:12:20,304 --> 01:12:25,704 you that, or I don't have to constantly like re-explain something, in my. 1185 01:12:26,584 --> 01:12:31,714 Workshop On the last one where we talked about web interface, I talked about using 1186 01:12:31,744 --> 01:12:37,394 PDFs a lot, and I do use a lot of PDFs, but the reality is that, Claude Code 1187 01:12:37,394 --> 01:12:40,754 does not love PDFs unless they are ocr. 1188 01:12:40,784 --> 01:12:47,034 So using Claude Cowork to OCR or, translate all of your PDFs into like, 1189 01:12:47,094 --> 01:12:49,464 op, I forget what it stands for. 1190 01:12:49,884 --> 01:12:53,334 Text recognition that a computer can do is the long way to explain it. 1191 01:12:53,814 --> 01:12:56,754 that makes it a lot easier for it to read PDFs quickly and it 1192 01:12:56,754 --> 01:12:58,374 makes everything go a lot faster. 1193 01:12:59,334 --> 01:12:59,694 And then. 1194 01:13:01,029 --> 01:13:02,079 Saving the session. 1195 01:13:02,079 --> 01:13:04,029 We talked about that at the very, very beginning. 1196 01:13:04,089 --> 01:13:05,019 I'm always doing that. 1197 01:13:05,019 --> 01:13:06,639 I very rarely ever use it. 1198 01:13:06,859 --> 01:13:08,239 but every once in a while I do. 1199 01:13:09,089 --> 01:13:14,659 like the other day when I thought I had finished this PowerPoint and an hour 1200 01:13:14,659 --> 01:13:17,599 later, I came back after turning off the computer and had to start it over again. 1201 01:13:17,629 --> 01:13:21,349 Now, to be fair, I didn't do anything but have to re-upload a prompt. 1202 01:13:21,349 --> 01:13:22,489 boy was I angry. 1203 01:13:23,099 --> 01:13:24,449 how dare it make a mistake. 1204 01:13:24,959 --> 01:13:27,659 So that was a fire hose. 1205 01:13:27,719 --> 01:13:31,319 If you are online and you need to leave or have already left, 1206 01:13:31,319 --> 01:13:33,359 we respect and celebrate you. 1207 01:13:33,899 --> 01:13:34,409 Kyle Casp? 1208 01:13:35,009 --> 01:13:35,549 Yes. 1209 01:13:36,329 --> 01:13:36,379 Oh my goodness. 1210 01:13:36,719 --> 01:13:38,939 I'm gonna not put the chat. 1211 01:13:39,419 --> 01:13:39,689 Wow. 1212 01:13:39,689 --> 01:13:40,889 That's just okay. 1213 01:13:40,979 --> 01:13:44,059 If I do this, then you guys don't have to deal with the multiple windows, 1214 01:13:44,059 --> 01:13:47,629 but I got the chat open, so if you're online, feel free to participate 1215 01:13:47,899 --> 01:13:49,399 if you're in person, of course. 1216 01:13:50,239 --> 01:13:51,949 Literally any questions? 1217 01:13:52,939 --> 01:13:53,839 I went through a walk. 1218 01:13:56,804 --> 01:14:01,214 So for your website, you've been using WordPress. 1219 01:14:01,214 --> 01:14:01,754 Mm-hmm. 1220 01:14:02,144 --> 01:14:05,444 And we have a developer that I can plug into the dashboard too, to make changes. 1221 01:14:06,224 --> 01:14:09,704 But you said you like your agents are managing your website entirely. 1222 01:14:09,704 --> 01:14:15,044 Are they Like writing CSS and HTML, like purely and then Okay. 1223 01:14:16,514 --> 01:14:19,184 So like something like WordPress or Webflow stuff is 1224 01:14:19,184 --> 01:14:20,449 just not, you wouldn't use it. 1225 01:14:22,509 --> 01:14:23,889 It Claude wouldn't use it. 1226 01:14:24,509 --> 01:14:25,184 It could. 1227 01:14:25,424 --> 01:14:27,644 I think Web, I'm a big fan of Webflow. 1228 01:14:27,679 --> 01:14:31,814 Webflow I believe has an API so you could connect it. 1229 01:14:32,324 --> 01:14:33,164 that's not WordPress though. 1230 01:14:34,514 --> 01:14:36,734 WordPress doesn't, yeah. 1231 01:14:36,734 --> 01:14:36,794 Yeah. 1232 01:14:38,084 --> 01:14:44,294 I mean, my company, the people I work for uses Webflow and then my 1233 01:14:44,294 --> 01:14:47,234 fiance's company uses WordPress. 1234 01:14:47,284 --> 01:14:51,154 You know, the disclaimer here is that I come from like 10 1235 01:14:51,154 --> 01:14:53,044 years in marketing, right? 1236 01:14:53,704 --> 01:14:58,684 But when I look at this after the last month, I truly don't 1237 01:14:58,684 --> 01:15:00,634 understand why web companies exist. 1238 01:15:01,354 --> 01:15:04,054 I don't understand why WordPress exists anymore. 1239 01:15:04,504 --> 01:15:11,464 I don't understand why CMS exists because I can change and create literally anything 1240 01:15:11,464 --> 01:15:14,374 with a prop like, the SEO on it was. 1241 01:15:14,559 --> 01:15:17,319 Headless, headless CMSs are about to skyrocket. 1242 01:15:17,569 --> 01:15:18,679 And the nerd in me gets sick. 1243 01:15:18,679 --> 01:15:21,619 Three that have come out of Grand Rapids, one that got publicly or when 1244 01:15:21,739 --> 01:15:23,779 got bought by, oh gosh, payload cms. 1245 01:15:24,349 --> 01:15:24,799 Oh, yeah. 1246 01:15:24,829 --> 01:15:27,109 Started, I think we're upstairs here, basically. 1247 01:15:27,769 --> 01:15:27,889 yeah. 1248 01:15:27,889 --> 01:15:29,119 We're they're one of the big ones. 1249 01:15:30,229 --> 01:15:30,499 Yeah. 1250 01:15:32,084 --> 01:15:36,109 I, and I say that as a WordPress dev for 15 years. 1251 01:15:36,169 --> 01:15:40,519 I don't touch WordPress any, unless a client can't afford it for me 1252 01:15:40,519 --> 01:15:41,809 to do, spend the time to do this. 1253 01:15:41,809 --> 01:15:43,489 But even then, I'd rather move them over. 1254 01:15:44,029 --> 01:15:46,849 Right Now it's more about convincing them that WordPress is not the best 1255 01:15:46,849 --> 01:15:51,679 thing anymore, despite being, you know, what, 60, 70% of the internet. 1256 01:15:52,249 --> 01:15:52,429 Yeah. 1257 01:15:52,429 --> 01:15:53,509 You know, it's going away. 1258 01:15:53,929 --> 01:15:55,039 I don't wanna say it's going away. 1259 01:15:55,339 --> 01:15:57,349 There are a lot of smart people@wordpress.org, 1260 01:15:57,949 --> 01:15:59,209 but I don't see them. 1261 01:16:00,099 --> 01:16:06,939 Making the initiative to, to add features and the, the ease that a lot of this does. 1262 01:16:07,449 --> 01:16:11,739 But in order to use this, we have to have, they have to be API. 1263 01:16:11,919 --> 01:16:12,489 Is that right? 1264 01:16:13,209 --> 01:16:15,219 Except, yeah, but you don't need to know the api. 1265 01:16:15,219 --> 01:16:16,324 Okay, thank you. 1266 01:16:16,594 --> 01:16:16,834 Yeah, 1267 01:16:21,634 --> 01:16:29,074 I guess we are gonna wrap up here guys, so if you have any other questions, I guess 1268 01:16:29,074 --> 01:16:33,064 you can email at tim@unicornflames.com. 1269 01:16:34,234 --> 01:16:39,214 But yeah, I don't know why it's hard for me to imagine why anyone would. 1270 01:16:39,364 --> 01:16:40,504 Most people just don't know yet. 1271 01:16:40,804 --> 01:16:41,854 It's not out the market. 1272 01:16:41,854 --> 01:16:42,904 It's not in the media yet. 1273 01:16:43,054 --> 01:16:44,014 Kyle, thank you for joining. 1274 01:16:44,014 --> 01:16:45,274 Thank you everyone online. 1275 01:16:45,694 --> 01:16:46,004 It still seems scary.
