WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.919 Imagine a new kind of workforce, maybe a team 00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:06.559 of experts working tirelessly, you know, around 00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:09.359 the clock for mere pennies. This isn't science 00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:12.179 fiction or some far off promise. It's actually 00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:15.259 happening right now. And it's fundamentally reshaping 00:00:15.259 --> 00:00:17.940 how we work, how we build businesses. Welcome 00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:20.539 to the deep dive. Today, we're taking a close 00:00:20.539 --> 00:00:24.820 look at a quiet. yet profound revolution in artificial 00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:27.039 intelligence. It's already well underway. That's 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:28.559 right. Yeah. In this deep dive, we're going to 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.379 pull back the curtain on ChatGPT's powerful new 00:00:31.379 --> 00:00:34.380 agent mode. We'll explore six really surprising 00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:37.219 automations that can not only free up your time, 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.380 but actually generate revenue. We'll also break 00:00:39.380 --> 00:00:42.219 down exactly how you can command this new AI 00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:44.000 workforce, touch on its current limitations, 00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.539 and then maybe most importantly, unpack the really 00:00:46.539 --> 00:00:48.439 profound implications for the future of work 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.579 itself. Okay, so let's start with what feels 00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:53.219 like, well, a seismic shift. For a long time, 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.539 many of us have used tools like ChatGPT as a 00:00:55.539 --> 00:00:57.640 kind of super -powered search engine, right? 00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.920 You ask a question, it gives you an answer. But 00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:02.140 with this new capability, we're moving far beyond 00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:05.329 just simple Q &A. Absolutely. Yeah, OpenAI recently 00:01:05.329 --> 00:01:07.590 rolled out this feature that for just, what, 00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:11.569 $20 a month? It's poised to genuinely disrupt 00:01:11.569 --> 00:01:14.890 entire categories of existing software. Almost 00:01:14.890 --> 00:01:17.269 overnight. I mean, think about it. Traditional 00:01:17.269 --> 00:01:19.870 virtual assistants, data scraping tools, even 00:01:19.870 --> 00:01:22.349 sophisticated copywriting services, professional 00:01:22.349 --> 00:01:25.519 research firms. they're all facing a pretty significant 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.659 challenge now. And it's not just about one AI 00:01:28.659 --> 00:01:31.019 assistant either. This new mode, it lets you 00:01:31.019 --> 00:01:34.319 deploy multiple AI agents simultaneously, each 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.560 one tackling complex work that used to require 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.930 several human specialists. Picture this. One 00:01:39.930 --> 00:01:42.329 agent meticulously digging through your, say, 00:01:42.390 --> 00:01:44.849 your private calendar, preparing detailed briefing 00:01:44.849 --> 00:01:47.549 documents for upcoming meetings. While that's 00:01:47.549 --> 00:01:49.590 running, maybe a second agent is scouring the 00:01:49.590 --> 00:01:52.390 web, finding 20 qualified sales leads in Paris, 00:01:52.609 --> 00:01:55.010 complete with their precise contact info. And 00:01:55.010 --> 00:01:57.650 at the same time, maybe a third agent is analyzing 00:01:57.650 --> 00:02:01.530 hundreds of Amazon reviews to build a comprehensive 00:02:01.530 --> 00:02:03.750 competitive analysis for your next product idea. 00:02:04.049 --> 00:02:07.209 These are tasks that previously took... Teams 00:02:07.209 --> 00:02:09.770 of humans hours, you know, grinding manual work. 00:02:09.889 --> 00:02:12.150 Now they're completed in minutes, often with 00:02:12.150 --> 00:02:15.229 just a single clear command. So when we talk 00:02:15.229 --> 00:02:17.870 about AI acting autonomously versus just answering 00:02:17.870 --> 00:02:19.949 our questions, what's the core difference you 00:02:19.949 --> 00:02:22.050 see there? It's really moving from conversation 00:02:22.050 --> 00:02:25.750 to command. AI actively does things now. And 00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:28.629 here's what's kind of easy to overlook. Most 00:02:28.629 --> 00:02:30.509 people, they'll simply miss this opportunity. 00:02:30.789 --> 00:02:32.509 They'll just keep treating this revolutionary 00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:35.080 tech like a slightly smarter Google. You know, 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.979 for brainstorming or writing funny poems. Right. 00:02:38.060 --> 00:02:40.280 And yet at the same time, there's this small, 00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:42.719 highly adaptable group of entrepreneurs already 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.340 leveraging this exact same technology to automate 00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:47.979 entire revenue streams. They're not just thinking 00:02:47.979 --> 00:02:49.659 about it. They're actually building tangible 00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:52.840 businesses. Yeah. The gap between those who get 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.319 this and those who don't is expanding rapidly. 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.900 And frankly, this isn't just some trend. It feels 00:02:58.900 --> 00:03:01.199 like a tidal wave for anyone who's watched tech 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.259 evolve, you know, the last 20 years, Internet, 00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:05.550 mobile life. This feels different. It's accelerating 00:03:05.550 --> 00:03:09.250 at a really unprecedented pace. Why do you think 00:03:09.250 --> 00:03:12.150 this particular shift is moving so much faster 00:03:12.150 --> 00:03:15.270 than past tech revolutions we've seen? Well, 00:03:15.349 --> 00:03:17.729 I think it's compounding human effort. It's creating 00:03:17.729 --> 00:03:21.030 these instant autonomous workforces. OK, now 00:03:21.030 --> 00:03:23.449 let's explore some of these powerful automations. 00:03:23.449 --> 00:03:26.430 Each one honestly could be the foundation for 00:03:26.430 --> 00:03:28.229 a standalone business you could probably launch 00:03:28.229 --> 00:03:30.330 this week. First up, something we're calling 00:03:30.330 --> 00:03:33.689 the website. Goldmine generator. Right. The mission 00:03:33.689 --> 00:03:35.669 here is pretty straightforward. Build highly 00:03:35.669 --> 00:03:38.189 targeted lead lists, specifically businesses 00:03:38.189 --> 00:03:40.990 that are ready and maybe even eager for a website 00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:44.629 upgrade. OK, so the prompt on the surface, it 00:03:44.629 --> 00:03:46.750 seems deceptively simple. It's something like 00:03:46.750 --> 00:03:49.990 provide a list of 20 plumbers in Paris who already 00:03:49.990 --> 00:03:52.849 have websites. Then gather as much contact info 00:03:52.849 --> 00:03:55.569 for the owners as possible, specifically email. 00:03:55.810 --> 00:03:58.889 And if you can find it, cell phone numbers. Put 00:03:58.889 --> 00:04:01.789 all this data into a Google sheet. Move fast. 00:04:02.389 --> 00:04:04.469 Cross -reference your findings with business 00:04:04.469 --> 00:04:06.810 directories like Manta to get harder to find 00:04:06.810 --> 00:04:09.129 information. Yeah, and the strategic insight 00:04:09.129 --> 00:04:10.949 here is absolutely crucial. You're not looking 00:04:10.949 --> 00:04:12.969 for businesses without websites. That's a common 00:04:12.969 --> 00:04:14.909 mistake, right? If they've survived this long 00:04:14.909 --> 00:04:17.230 without one, they probably don't really value 00:04:17.230 --> 00:04:20.410 an online presence. The real goldmine is businesses 00:04:20.410 --> 00:04:22.970 with existing but clearly outdated websites. 00:04:23.329 --> 00:04:25.009 They've already shown they're willing to invest. 00:04:25.170 --> 00:04:27.589 They just need a better solution. Exactly. And 00:04:27.589 --> 00:04:29.649 the result, in about 30 minutes, the AI agent 00:04:29.649 --> 00:04:32.649 delivered this perfectly organized CSV file. 00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:35.990 It had 20 plumbers in Paris, their website URLs, 00:04:36.430 --> 00:04:39.110 owners' names, phone numbers, direct email addresses. 00:04:39.529 --> 00:04:41.889 This is a lead list. I mean, a professional data 00:04:41.889 --> 00:04:44.529 service would easily charge maybe $500 for this. 00:04:44.750 --> 00:04:48.449 And it was created with just one sentence. Okay, 00:04:48.490 --> 00:04:52.350 next up, the creepy good cold email machine. 00:04:52.750 --> 00:04:55.709 Creepy good, I like that. This goes way beyond 00:04:55.709 --> 00:04:58.029 just lead gen, though. Its mission is to fully 00:04:58.029 --> 00:05:00.430 automate the personalized outreach process itself. 00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:03.029 So the prompt here was very specific. Create 00:05:03.029 --> 00:05:05.389 a list of five dentists in Rome, owners only. 00:05:05.629 --> 00:05:08.350 Write five highly personalized cold emails for 00:05:08.350 --> 00:05:10.329 each. Make them as detailed as possible, you 00:05:10.329 --> 00:05:12.709 know, stalker level detail. Let them know I specialize 00:05:12.709 --> 00:05:15.209 in SEO for dentists in Rome and would love to 00:05:15.209 --> 00:05:16.850 set up a call. And here's where the real magic 00:05:16.850 --> 00:05:19.480 happened. For one of these dentists, the AI didn't 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.680 just find the name in practice. It scoured the 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.920 web for their entire professional journey, university, 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.600 fellowships, accreditations, even personal hobbies 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.680 like running Spartan races or paddleboarding. 00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.339 Yeah, imagine getting an email that opens by 00:05:31.339 --> 00:05:34.360 acknowledging, say, Studio Riosani's 25 -year 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.980 legacy. Then it seamlessly weaves in details 00:05:36.980 --> 00:05:40.500 about specific specializations like facial aesthetics, 00:05:40.819 --> 00:05:44.240 postural dentistry. It even suggested SEO terms 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.639 like sedation dentist Rome or hypnosis dentistry 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.459 tailored to their unique services. It showed 00:05:50.459 --> 00:05:53.000 this profound contextual understanding of the 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.600 person and their practice. And the time investment 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.779 for that kind of really deep research and five 00:05:57.779 --> 00:06:00.680 hyper personalized emails, just 14 minutes, seriously. 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.180 And the time it takes to grab a coffee, the AI 00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:05.699 automated creating rapport, building that initial 00:06:05.699 --> 00:06:09.910 relationship. Crazy. Okay. And then we have the 00:06:09.910 --> 00:06:12.810 meeting prep wizard. Right. The mission here 00:06:12.810 --> 00:06:15.850 is automating that, well, often tedious but absolutely 00:06:15.850 --> 00:06:18.170 crucial task of preparing for important meetings. 00:06:18.370 --> 00:06:20.790 Imagine giving it this prompt. Review my calendar 00:06:20.790 --> 00:06:23.129 for next week's meetings. For each person I'm 00:06:23.129 --> 00:06:24.850 meeting with, research their company's recent 00:06:24.850 --> 00:06:27.670 updates and any personal news. Prepare a detailed 00:06:27.670 --> 00:06:29.509 briefing document for each meeting, including 00:06:29.509 --> 00:06:32.470 suggested talking points. The execution is just 00:06:32.470 --> 00:06:35.069 fascinating. You give it access to your Google 00:06:35.069 --> 00:06:37.980 Calendar, right? And the agent spent nine minutes 00:06:37.980 --> 00:06:41.019 autonomously researching every single person 00:06:41.019 --> 00:06:43.199 on the user's schedule for the whole next week. 00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:46.480 It didn't just do a simple search. It actively 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.959 found recent press releases, podcast interviews, 00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:52.980 news articles, then synthesized it all. It even 00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:55.279 formulated its own strategic opinions about what 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.399 the user should discuss to forge the strongest 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.800 connection. And here's the really remarkable 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.839 part, maybe even a little scary. The agent builds 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.610 a persistent memory. It starts to remember everything 00:07:05.610 --> 00:07:07.990 about your business, your network. In that test, 00:07:08.029 --> 00:07:09.949 it even unearthed facts and connections about 00:07:09.949 --> 00:07:12.269 the user's own business partners that the user 00:07:12.269 --> 00:07:14.490 had genuinely forgotten. It's like having this 00:07:14.490 --> 00:07:16.750 incredibly diligent executive assistant who never 00:07:16.750 --> 00:07:19.670 misses a single detail. When you see the AI pulling 00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:22.250 this kind of deep contextual information, what's 00:07:22.250 --> 00:07:24.269 the most surprising impact you've observed on 00:07:24.269 --> 00:07:26.529 how these everyday tasks actually get done? It 00:07:26.529 --> 00:07:29.110 elevates outputs from just generic stuff to hyper 00:07:29.110 --> 00:07:31.529 -relevant, almost clairvoyant results. Okay, 00:07:31.589 --> 00:07:33.350 let's continue exploring what's now possible. 00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:36.360 Next up is the product research beast. Yeah, 00:07:36.459 --> 00:07:38.300 this one's about performing professional grade 00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:41.040 market research for a new product idea, completely 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.120 on demand, like serious research. So the prompt 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.600 for this was something like, I want to sell a 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.500 healthy powdered energy drink on Amazon, research 00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:52.600 the top 10 competing products there, scrape hundreds 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.220 of customer reviews, categorize the most frequent 00:07:55.220 --> 00:07:57.899 complaints, then create a feature list for a 00:07:57.899 --> 00:08:00.000 new product that addresses all those issues. 00:08:00.430 --> 00:08:02.730 And the intelligence report it generated. Incredible. 00:08:03.009 --> 00:08:05.709 Within minutes, the agent provided this detailed 00:08:05.709 --> 00:08:08.269 market analysis that, honestly, a professional 00:08:08.269 --> 00:08:11.009 firm would charge thousands for. It identified 00:08:11.009 --> 00:08:12.930 the biggest problems with existing products, 00:08:13.089 --> 00:08:16.329 backed by hard data. Taste issues at almost 36%, 00:08:16.329 --> 00:08:19.370 high price over 21%, clumping problems nearly 00:08:19.370 --> 00:08:22.310 11%, and so on. It presented this data super 00:08:22.310 --> 00:08:24.829 clearly, like in charts, and then gave a blueprint 00:08:24.829 --> 00:08:26.920 for the perfect product. features specifically 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.000 designed to counter each complaint this isn't 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.120 just research it's basically a complete product 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.899 development strategy generated on demand wow 00:08:33.899 --> 00:08:37.480 then there's the business idea validator the 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.860 mission here isn't just brainstorming concepts 00:08:39.860 --> 00:08:42.200 but actually validating them with real world 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.720 data and importantly proven case studies right 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.200 the prompt was analyze google trends for five 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.519 potential business ideas that are low cost to 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.399 start evaluate the competition for each Estimate 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.440 the market size and give me an opportunity score 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.940 out of 10 for each one. Okay. And the agent spent 00:08:58.940 --> 00:09:01.460 about 20 minutes analyzing trend data, then came 00:09:01.460 --> 00:09:03.820 back with a ranked list. Print -on -demand t 00:09:03.820 --> 00:09:06.960 -shirt printing got an 8 out of 10. Online reselling, 00:09:07.019 --> 00:09:09.519 a 7 out of 10. And here's the follow -up that 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.190 makes it truly powerful. A second prompt. Okay, 00:09:12.230 --> 00:09:14.590 let's focus on print -on -demand. Find me four 00:09:14.590 --> 00:09:16.990 detailed case studies of real entrepreneurs who 00:09:16.990 --> 00:09:18.889 have successfully launched this type of business. 00:09:19.409 --> 00:09:22.809 Search Reddit, Facebook, X, niche blogs for their 00:09:22.809 --> 00:09:25.409 stories. I want to know their exact startup costs, 00:09:25.669 --> 00:09:27.970 first month revenue, key strategies they used. 00:09:28.129 --> 00:09:30.669 And the agent went out and found actual posts 00:09:30.669 --> 00:09:34.409 like from side hustle to $500K, how Printify 00:09:34.409 --> 00:09:36.990 helped this mom quit her job, complete with the 00:09:36.990 --> 00:09:39.250 detailed breakdowns of costs and marketing tactics. 00:09:39.850 --> 00:09:41.429 See, that's the difference between just having 00:09:41.429 --> 00:09:43.629 an idea and having a de -risked business plan 00:09:43.629 --> 00:09:46.529 backed by real proof. Finally, the pitch deck 00:09:46.529 --> 00:09:48.970 creator. Mission, create professional investor 00:09:48.970 --> 00:09:51.169 -ready pitch decks. Yeah, so the initial step 00:09:51.169 --> 00:09:53.330 was simple. Ask it to create a standard pitch 00:09:53.330 --> 00:09:56.169 deck for, say, that energy drink company. And 00:09:56.169 --> 00:09:58.230 it handled the market analysis, financials, competitive 00:09:58.230 --> 00:10:01.169 landscape, no problem. But then came this truly 00:10:01.169 --> 00:10:03.529 fascinating moment. We gave it a legendary reference, 00:10:03.690 --> 00:10:07.169 the original Airbnb pitch deck. The updated prompt 00:10:07.169 --> 00:10:09.750 asked the AI to redesign the entire presentation 00:10:09.750 --> 00:10:12.929 to match that style and structure. And here's 00:10:12.929 --> 00:10:15.029 the crucial part. It was asked to incorporate 00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:17.710 personal details about the user that it remembered 00:10:17.710 --> 00:10:19.950 from previous conversations to make the story 00:10:19.950 --> 00:10:22.350 more compelling. And the result was staggering. 00:10:22.690 --> 00:10:25.990 The AI didn't just mimic Airbnb's iconic style. 00:10:26.230 --> 00:10:28.889 It wove a personal narrative directly into the 00:10:28.889 --> 00:10:31.789 presentation. It included details about the user's 00:10:31.789 --> 00:10:34.629 background podcast host, specific business experience, 00:10:34.950 --> 00:10:37.610 social media following details never mentioned 00:10:37.610 --> 00:10:40.090 in that particular session. It was actively pulling 00:10:40.090 --> 00:10:42.629 from its comprehensive memory of all past interactions. 00:10:43.009 --> 00:10:45.570 It told a story. It delivered what looked like 00:10:45.570 --> 00:10:49.370 a $5 ,000 agency quality deck in under 15 minutes. 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.659 I mean, imagine the sheer volume of personalized 00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:55.840 context -aware content an AI team like that could 00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.940 tackle simultaneously. It's truly remarkable. 00:10:58.139 --> 00:11:00.259 So how does the AI recalling past conversations 00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:03.100 really elevate its utility beyond just single 00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:05.940 task automation? I think it fosters a continuous 00:11:05.940 --> 00:11:08.659 evolving understanding. It becomes a true partner. 00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:12.769 Mid -role sponsor read. So knowing... all this 00:11:12.769 --> 00:11:16.129 power exists the uh the next logical question 00:11:16.129 --> 00:11:19.629 is how exactly do we command this new ai workforce 00:11:19.629 --> 00:11:22.110 because it's clearly not just a chat bot anymore 00:11:22.110 --> 00:11:24.429 it's something much closer to a dynamic team 00:11:24.429 --> 00:11:27.570 right the 60 second on -ramp starts with a really 00:11:27.570 --> 00:11:31.379 crucial mindset shift step zero Change your thinking. 00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:33.820 You're not just chatting with an AI anymore. 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:36.139 You are an operator. You're issuing commands 00:11:36.139 --> 00:11:39.340 to a powerful, logical, sometimes very literal 00:11:39.340 --> 00:11:42.000 machine, your clarity of thought. That's your 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.639 most valuable asset now. Okay. And on the technical 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.679 side, this functionality is part of the premium 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.039 offering. So you'll need to upgrade to a ChatGPT 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.440 Plus account $20 a month. That's basically your 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.940 cost of admission to this new economy. Once you're 00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:56.019 inside, you'll find a tools button. Clicking 00:11:56.019 --> 00:11:58.159 this reveals the option to select agent mode. 00:11:58.460 --> 00:12:00.600 That's the switch that transforms your chatbot 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.220 into an autonomous worker. Exactly. And then 00:12:03.220 --> 00:12:05.980 you start simple. Then you gradually escalate. 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.340 Your very first command shouldn't be build me 00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:10.879 a billion dollar company, right? Start with a 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.179 simple self -contained task like one of the examples 00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:15.399 we just talked about. Learn the rhythm, learn 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.639 how the agent responds before you give it those 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.639 more complex multi -step missions. And getting 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.519 truly expert level results, it isn't about finding 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.600 some secret magic words. It really comes down 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.580 to consistently following a few core principles. 00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:31.960 These are what we're calling the four commandments 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.820 of effective agent prompting. Okay, first. The 00:12:34.820 --> 00:12:37.919 urgency principle. Just say, move fast. It sounds 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.000 almost too simple, but including a command like 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.720 move fast in your prompt genuinely changes how 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.559 the agent behaves. It tends to cut out the verbose 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.919 fluff and get straight to execution. Gives you 00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.000 more direct, actionable results, like getting 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.139 a strong coffee without the long lecture, you 00:12:52.139 --> 00:12:55.639 know. Right. Second, the don't make me think 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:58.539 principle. Always provide reference data. Never 00:12:58.539 --> 00:13:00.840 assume the agent just knows what a good result 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.059 looks like in your specific context. You have 00:13:03.059 --> 00:13:05.279 to give it a precise map. Just asking for a pitch 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.519 deck is often too vague. A much more effective 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.600 prompt would be something like, create a pitch 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.059 deck for my company. Use the attached Airbnb 00:13:12.059 --> 00:13:14.820 pitch deck as a structural and design reference. 00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:17.519 Oh, and here's a document with our key financial 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.559 metrics. Totally. Third, the scoped search principle. 00:13:21.210 --> 00:13:23.669 Be specific about sources. The Internet is just 00:13:23.669 --> 00:13:27.049 vast, right? Telling an agent to find case studies 00:13:27.049 --> 00:13:29.210 is like asking someone to find a needle in a 00:13:29.210 --> 00:13:31.990 haystack the size of, well, Earth. You'll get 00:13:31.990 --> 00:13:34.429 much faster, much more accurate results by telling 00:13:34.429 --> 00:13:36.330 it exactly where to look. Don't just say find 00:13:36.330 --> 00:13:39.129 stories about successful entrepreneurs. Say scrape 00:13:39.129 --> 00:13:41.250 Reddit for entrepreneur and small business subreddits, 00:13:41.250 --> 00:13:43.549 specific Facebook groups and these niche blogs 00:13:43.549 --> 00:13:48.149 for their stories. Be precise. And fourth, the 00:13:48.149 --> 00:13:52.259 babysitter principle. Stay in the tab. Now, this 00:13:52.259 --> 00:13:55.100 is probably a temporary rule for a technology 00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:57.460 that's still pretty early days. When the agent 00:13:57.460 --> 00:13:59.559 is doing sensitive stuff, like working within 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:02.039 your Google Calendar or Gmail, it's just best 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:03.879 practice right now to stay on that browser tab 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.820 and watch its progress. Think of it like a self 00:14:06.820 --> 00:14:09.419 -driving car in beta, incredibly capable, but 00:14:09.419 --> 00:14:11.200 maybe keep your hands near the wheel for now. 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.559 I admit, sometimes I still catch myself treating 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:16.860 it like a basic chatbot. Then I remember this 00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:20.179 rule and, uh... pay closer attention. Yeah, that's 00:14:20.179 --> 00:14:22.419 a good analogy. And look, this new agent mode, 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.899 it's revolutionary, but it's important to remember 00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:27.580 it's still evolving. It definitely has some rough 00:14:27.580 --> 00:14:30.139 edges. Think of its current state like maybe 00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:33.039 a bustling, fast -paced kitchen. It looks kind 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:34.860 of messy. You're not always sure how every chef 00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:37.980 coordinates, but somehow delicious results still 00:14:37.980 --> 00:14:40.399 emerge. Okay, so for security reasons, manual 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.519 logins are still required. The agent can't yet 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.379 just automatically log into all your accounts. 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.559 You'll have to go through that OOF, the secure 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.139 authorization process. the first time you give 00:14:49.139 --> 00:14:51.899 it access to a new service, though that'll undoubtedly 00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:54.679 get smoother over time. Definitely. Also, it 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.440 wants you to stay observant when it's dealing 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.100 with sensitive data. This is actually a crucial 00:14:59.100 --> 00:15:01.940 safety feature. It means you can't always just 00:15:01.940 --> 00:15:04.980 have it running completely unsupervised in the 00:15:04.980 --> 00:15:07.559 background. It ensures you stay in control while 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.080 it handles sensitive information. Right. And 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.299 some tasks... Particularly the really complex 00:15:12.299 --> 00:15:15.139 research. They do take time. You should expect 00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:18.940 maybe 20 to 30 minutes sometimes. It's performing 00:15:18.940 --> 00:15:21.679 the work of a human, essentially. And deep research 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:23.620 just requires a certain amount of processing 00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:27.440 time, even for a powerful machine. Exactly. And 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.120 finally, integrations can sometimes be a little 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:32.639 bit glitchy. The Google Sheets integration, for 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.720 example, has been known to be temperamental now 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.320 and then. But these are precisely the kinds of 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.580 early adopter bugs you expect, and they usually 00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:42.240 get ironed out pretty quickly after a major release. 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.460 So how might these commandments you mentioned 00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:47.200 help someone maybe overcome that initial frustration 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.200 when they first start experimenting with AI agents? 00:15:50.570 --> 00:15:52.750 They provide a clear framework for communication, 00:15:53.090 --> 00:15:56.629 basically guiding the AI effectively. But beyond 00:15:56.629 --> 00:15:59.190 the tactics, you know, the how -tos and this 00:15:59.190 --> 00:16:02.070 impressive list of automated tasks, there is 00:16:02.070 --> 00:16:04.710 a deeper, really profound shift happening here. 00:16:04.850 --> 00:16:06.649 This is what we've been calling the holy crap 00:16:06.649 --> 00:16:08.629 moment. The real game changer isn't just that 00:16:08.629 --> 00:16:11.970 the AI can do tasks. It's that chat GPT now remembers 00:16:11.970 --> 00:16:14.769 everything about you across all your conversations. 00:16:15.230 --> 00:16:16.789 Yeah, we saw that clearly with the pitch deck 00:16:16.789 --> 00:16:19.830 creator example. When that agent redesigned the 00:16:19.830 --> 00:16:22.049 pitch deck, it proactively included personal 00:16:22.049 --> 00:16:24.470 details about the user details never mentioned 00:16:24.470 --> 00:16:27.389 in that specific prompt. It seamlessly recalled 00:16:27.389 --> 00:16:30.330 the user's experience as a podcast host, their 00:16:30.330 --> 00:16:33.029 specific business background, even social media 00:16:33.029 --> 00:16:35.679 following. pulling from its perfect memory of 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.139 all past interactions. This isn't just a tool 00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:40.299 anymore. It feels like the dawn of a true AI 00:16:40.299 --> 00:16:42.840 business partner, one with a perfect memory that 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.860 understands your professional history and context 00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:46.759 maybe better than most human colleagues ever 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.980 could. This level of persistent, evolving intelligence, 00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:53.580 it fundamentally changes everything. So if AI 00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:55.740 can remember everything you've ever told it, 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.620 how does that fundamentally change our relationship 00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:02.320 with technology itself? it becomes less like 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:04.660 a tool and more like an evolving, intelligent 00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:07.099 collaborator. And just to be clear, for anyone 00:17:07.099 --> 00:17:09.079 listening and wondering, these aren't just, you 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.440 know, cool party tricks. These six automations 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.519 we've discussed, they are the foundations of 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.220 real, profitable solo businesses you could absolutely 00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:18.599 start this week. Yeah, totally. You could offer 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.279 local business website audits using that plumber 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.619 method to generate lead lists of businesses with 00:17:23.619 --> 00:17:26.980 outdated sites. Or a hyper -personalized cold 00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:29.819 email service using the dentist method to research 00:17:29.819 --> 00:17:32.559 prospects super deeply and write emails too personal 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.210 to ignore. You could even offer meeting prep 00:17:35.210 --> 00:17:37.730 as a service for executives, like being their 00:17:37.730 --> 00:17:39.769 personal intelligence officer delivering perfect 00:17:39.769 --> 00:17:43.549 briefing docs daily for, say, $200 a month. Then 00:17:43.549 --> 00:17:45.789 there's product research for Amazon sellers using 00:17:45.789 --> 00:17:48.009 that energy drink method to analyze reviews and 00:17:48.009 --> 00:17:50.849 find market gaps. Automated competitor intelligence 00:17:50.849 --> 00:17:53.970 reports giving businesses monthly deep dive analyses. 00:17:54.269 --> 00:17:56.730 And of course, AI -powered pitch deck creation 00:17:56.730 --> 00:17:59.710 combining market research with pro design to 00:17:59.710 --> 00:18:02.029 turn a client's rough idea into an investor -ready 00:18:02.029 --> 00:18:04.759 deck. and super fast. Okay, so out of those, 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:06.880 which business model do you find most immediately 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:09.220 actionable for someone who is just getting started 00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:12.680 with AI agents? Lead generation or the personalized 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.680 outreach seem like really strong, tangible starting 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.460 points. Pretty straightforward. The bottom line 00:18:18.460 --> 00:18:22.880 here feels pretty clear. Adapt or, well, become 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.589 a dinosaur. For those of us who have been building 00:18:25.589 --> 00:18:28.170 businesses online for decades, through the birth 00:18:28.170 --> 00:18:30.230 of the Internet, the rise of mobile, the social 00:18:30.230 --> 00:18:33.029 media explosion, this feels genuinely different. 00:18:33.130 --> 00:18:35.869 It feels bigger. Yeah, think about it. Yesterday, 00:18:36.069 --> 00:18:37.609 to do the kind of work we've just described, 00:18:37.890 --> 00:18:41.069 you would have needed a team. A VA, a data scraper, 00:18:41.130 --> 00:18:44.390 a copywriter, a research intern. That's a monthly 00:18:44.390 --> 00:18:47.730 payroll probably nearing $7 ,000. At the end 00:18:47.730 --> 00:18:50.349 of the day. Yeah. You need $20 and clarity of 00:18:50.349 --> 00:18:52.319 thought. What's truly striking, too, is that 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.400 many existing software companies, those simple 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.279 sauce apps, the Chrome extensions, data services 00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.140 that are really just thin wrappers around OpenAI's 00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:03.000 API, they're about to face profound irrelevance. 00:19:03.220 --> 00:19:05.819 OpenAI is just steadily, methodically expanding 00:19:05.819 --> 00:19:08.500 its capabilities, basically eating vast swaths 00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:10.859 of the Internet feature by feature. This is arguably 00:19:10.859 --> 00:19:13.299 the single greatest opportunity for the individual 00:19:13.299 --> 00:19:15.660 entrepreneur in history. The choice is yours. 00:19:16.099 --> 00:19:20.930 But the window to truly leverage this. It's evolving 00:19:20.930 --> 00:19:23.410 fast. If you're not exploring this right now, 00:19:23.490 --> 00:19:25.910 like literally this week, you might soon find 00:19:25.910 --> 00:19:28.109 yourself competing against people who have an 00:19:28.109 --> 00:19:30.710 entire AI workforce doing the job of a team for 00:19:30.710 --> 00:19:34.230 the price of a pizza. Your move. We really hope 00:19:34.230 --> 00:19:35.769 this deep dive has given you a vivid glimpse 00:19:35.769 --> 00:19:38.890 into these immense possibilities. Maybe take 00:19:38.890 --> 00:19:40.750 a moment to consider what this could mean for 00:19:40.750 --> 00:19:43.190 your own work, your own business. How might you 00:19:43.190 --> 00:19:45.859 begin to apply this knowledge? Yeah, maybe the 00:19:45.859 --> 00:19:47.960 provocative thought is this. What if the future 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:50.059 of innovation isn't just about building new tools, 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:52.660 but really about mastering the art of commanding 00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:54.880 this unseen workforce? Thank you for joining 00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.799 us on this deep dive.
