13 Mind-Blowing AI Hacks That Can Actually Change Your Life — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Here are a list of AI hacks that you can
- 0:02use right now to improve your life. It's
- 0:04the most fun you'll have with your
- 0:05clothes on today, guaranteed. Also, you
- 0:08can find prompts to reproduce all of
- 0:09these results in the description. Just
- 0:11click the Maker Zero link below. First,
- 0:13you can let AI call your internet
- 0:14company and literally save you $500. Uh
- 0:17this is Peter Yang. He asked his Grokbot
- 0:19to call Comcast and lower his internet
- 0:20bill, and the bot just told the rep that
- 0:22a competitor had a much lower price,
- 0:24turning down three upsells and answering
- 0:26a bunch of random questions about the
- 0:27weather.
- 0:28>> Oh yummy, I know how's the weather
- 0:30there?
- 0:31>> Ha, I don't actually have eyes on the
- 0:32sky, but I'm sure it's typical Bay Area
- 0:35gray.
- 0:36>> It will go down to $45 and [music] it is
- 0:39all locked for one year.
- 0:41>> Which led to lower prices and far faster
- 0:43internet. He says that it is almost $500
- 0:46a year in savings. You guys can do this
- 0:48with Grokbot, Muse, or whatever other
- 0:50agent platform you're running. How about
- 0:52speeding up your PC or Mac for free with
- 0:54Claude Code? I like extra money, don't
- 0:56you? This fellow's gaming PC was just
- 0:58kind of weird. He spent a bunch of money
- 1:00on it and it just was way too slow.
- 1:02Things that used to be lightning quick
- 1:04took a lot longer than he was expecting,
- 1:06and so he thought, why don't I give this
- 1:08machine to the machine? And he gave it
- 1:10to Claude Code. And Claude found a bunch
- 1:12of problems. He made the SSD speeds a
- 1:14lot faster. His RAM was like 1.5x. And
- 1:17then ultimately speaking at the end of
- 1:19it, uh Claude found that he was using
- 1:20the wrong cable to his monitor, uh which
- 1:22resulted in really crappy like hard to
- 1:24see screen. This all resulted in him
- 1:26basically getting a monitor that was
- 1:28like 3x as good simply as a result of
- 1:30changing a small cheap cable. The reason
- 1:32why this happens with PCs in particular
- 1:34is because they typically involve the
- 1:36interaction of parts from a lot of
- 1:37different companies, and these parts
- 1:39just aren't natively optimized. And so
- 1:41you can actually have Claude like figure
- 1:42out the native optimizations, and you
- 1:44can make all of that sweet juicy money
- 1:46back. Do you guys get spam calls? I get
- 1:48like 500 a day. What if you could use AI
- 1:51to remove those? Well, this fellow here
- 1:54got really pissed at all these spam
- 1:55companies that are selling his email
- 1:57address and personal details. So he
- 1:59wrote a single prompt that told his AI
- 2:01agents to remove him from all of the
- 2:02data brokers. Now in case you didn't
- 2:04know, data brokers are companies like
- 2:05Apollo, ZoomInfo, RocketReach. These
- 2:07sorts of businesses will scrape your
- 2:09data off the internet and then sell your
- 2:11name, email, and phone number to
- 2:12virtually anybody who pays for it.
- 2:14Usually up-and-coming companies that are
- 2:15trying to make some money.
- 2:17So what this flow does is it finds every
- 2:19company's official opt-out page and then
- 2:21it writes a customized deletion request
- 2:23that quotes the privacy law where you
- 2:25live and where they are domiciled. So if
- 2:27you are European, first, I'm sorry, and
- 2:30second, that's GDPR, CCPA if you're
- 2:33California, maybe Pipeda if you're in
- 2:35Canada as I am. And then it also saves
- 2:37all these emails for you, which is good
- 2:39because if your data ever gets breached
- 2:40later on, you will actually have a
- 2:42record that you could use legally to
- 2:44protect yourself saying, well actually I
- 2:46asked that all this information had been
- 2:47removed two years ago. Anybody here love
- 2:49prepping? Well I love a good prepping
- 2:51round. Turns out there is a large
- 2:53language model or AI called Survival
- 2:56LLM. It's a free app that puts an AI and
- 2:59an emergency library on your computer.
- 3:01Basically gigabytes and gigabytes of
- 3:03Wikipedia articles on literally anything
- 3:05you want except for me. Don't know why
- 3:07I'm not in there, but I'll fix that
- 3:08soon, I'm sure. It has medical guides,
- 3:10so if I don't know, you're in some
- 3:12post-apocalyptic AI Terminator 2
- 3:14scenario, you can ask a friendly robot
- 3:17how to heal your arm. You can also find
- 3:19US military survival guides and more. I
- 3:22actually really like this. I'm not super
- 3:24doomsday or anything like that, but I do
- 3:26think that it's worthwhile at least
- 3:27having like a first aid kit. And rather
- 3:29than saving just Wikipedia, which is
- 3:30quite difficult to work through, why not
- 3:32save Wikipedia plus a tiny large
- 3:34language model optimized to read it?
- 3:36That way you can just ask it questions
- 3:37in natural language and then basically
- 3:39get whatever you need in seconds. Okay,
- 3:40how about this? You know one thing that
- 3:42I always want more of? It's giant arrows
- 3:45on my screen. You ever asked Claude or
- 3:46another agent for help like peeking
- 3:48around a user interface and it's like,
- 3:50go click this button? And then you're
- 3:51like, yeah, but where's the button? Well
- 3:53this solves that completely. This fella
- 3:55here, Franz Enzenhofer, made a free tool
- 3:58called Big Arrow. Now this lets Claude
- 4:00Code or Codex basically draw a giant
- 4:02freaking arrow and a bunch of text on or
- 4:05Mac screen. Uh the whole idea is now
- 4:07when you chat with, you know, your
- 4:08agent, rather than you have to kind of
- 4:10parse out where to go, your agent just
- 4:12like shows you with a giant freaking
- 4:14arrow. And boy, is that is that a very
- 4:15big arrow. So yeah, really not much else
- 4:18to say. If you guys want a giant arrow
- 4:20pointing at on your screen, this is
- 4:22where you go. I love Claude, but I hate
- 4:24reading other people pretending like
- 4:26they wrote something that Claude did.
- 4:29And so Claude isms really piss me off.
- 4:32And so I'm always looking for ways to
- 4:34make the content that Claude generates
- 4:36for me seem more human. Well, turns out
- 4:38Uncle Andrej Karpathy has given us the
- 4:41answer. And the answer is to tell AI
- 4:43models, whether it's Claude, Codex, or
- 4:46you know, another agent to write using
- 4:48ASD STE. This is an old aircraft repair
- 4:51manual style which basically prunes all
- 4:54of the flowery vocabulary that Claude
- 4:56and other models are are more commonly
- 4:58using these days. Uh and as a result,
- 5:00you get extraordinarily simple and stoic
- 5:02answers.
- 5:03And the best part is you also save a
- 5:05little bit on your token bill. Do you
- 5:06love texting and driving? Boy, do I have
- 5:08something even cooler for you. It's
- 5:10clouding and driving. And you can do
- 5:12that now with Apple CarPlay. Uh if you
- 5:14guys didn't know, you can actually just
- 5:16call up Claude or another AI agent on
- 5:19the phone nowadays. Claude in particular
- 5:21on October 29th got like an Apple
- 5:22CarPlay integration on your iPhone. So
- 5:25while you're doing these long haul
- 5:26drives, you can rip questions to Claude.
- 5:28I actually do this all the time and it's
- 5:30basically like an interactive podcast.
- 5:32Anybody here that has a commute that's
- 5:33like more than maybe 20 or 30 minutes
- 5:35one way? This is also a great way to
- 5:37learn new things cuz just like you're
- 5:39chatting with like a buddy or a friend
- 5:40or something, you can chat with Claude
- 5:41and have it teach you things about
- 5:42whatever subject it is that you want to
- 5:44have taught to you. Or how about this?
- 5:46You can actually track flight prices by
- 5:48email with Google's AI mode. Don't know
- 5:50if you guys knew this, but you guys can
- 5:51actually just use like Google's built-in
- 5:53search, describe your trip in plain
- 5:55English, and then just say track these
- 5:57flight prices for me. And then Google
- 5:59will actually monitor the ups and the
- 6:00downs of the prices. And when they get
- 6:02below whatever it considers a reasonable
- 6:04threshold relative to the historical
- 6:05price, they will tell you. And so,
- 6:07anybody want to go down to Malta? Well,
- 6:09guess what? I got some tickets. Uh, the
- 6:11point that I'm making is you guys could
- 6:12probably save 30 to 50% on ticket prices
- 6:14here. As somebody that travels a fair
- 6:16amount, I'm doing this for virtually
- 6:17every major destination that I'm
- 6:18currently going to. Did you all know you
- 6:20can also just start Claude code with
- 6:21your phone nowadays using remote
- 6:23control? I don't know how many of y'all
- 6:25are Claude coders, but I'm Claude coder
- 6:27numero uno. And one thing that really
- 6:29frustrates me is when Claude is in the
- 6:31middle of something on uh my my home
- 6:33computer and then it runs and do some
- 6:35sort of blocker or issue. Uh and in the
- 6:37past, you know, I'd come back home,
- 6:39let's say after a lunch break or
- 6:40something, and I'd be like, wait, you
- 6:41haven't even made any progress on this?
- 6:43What the hell? Well, I don't have to
- 6:44deal with that anymore. I can actually
- 6:46just have Claude on my phone, okay,
- 6:48using the Claude remote control feature.
- 6:50And while I'm out at the gym or
- 6:51whatever, I could just tell my agent,
- 6:52hey, what's up? Is this thing done? If
- 6:54it has any issues or any blockers, I can
- 6:55then deal with it to minimize the total
- 6:57amount of time that an agent is not
- 6:58running for me. Have you guys tried
- 7:00using Google's AI mode? It's actually
- 7:02really cracked. And this is way back in
- 7:04August, by the way. I just find so many
- 7:06Google updates don't actually make it to
- 7:08me until well after they've been made.
- 7:10So if you have any questions, search um
- 7:11the feature that, you know, gives you
- 7:13answers, has a custom interactive
- 7:15builder for specific scientific queries.
- 7:18And so for instance, if you were to
- 7:19search the words pH scale, you'd
- 7:21actually get an interactive pH scale in
- 7:23this AI overview, like a legitimate
- 7:25scale. You can then ask a follow-up
- 7:27like, hey, could you show me what, I
- 7:29don't know, like lemon looks like in the
- 7:30pH scale? And this AI mode could
- 7:31actually build a tool for that question.
- 7:33This is something you guys can already
- 7:34do with your AI agents, but the fact
- 7:35that it's Google, the fact that it's
- 7:37free, and the fact that it's also like
- 7:38based off of actual data out there cuz
- 7:40this scrapes the search page, means it's
- 7:42more accurate and it's a wonderful
- 7:43learning tool if you guys are nerdy like
- 7:45I am. I just love learning about the pH
- 7:47in fruit. How about like sports
- 7:48coaching? Do you guys ever done this?
- 7:50You're like running and you're like,
- 7:51man, my right hamstring really hurts for
- 7:53some reason. And so what you do uh as a
- 7:55professional runner um in situations
- 7:57like this is you'll go to like get a
- 7:59gate analysis and then some fellow will
- 8:01look really intensely at your, you know,
- 8:03upper thigh area and tell you that
- 8:05you're contracting muscle X when you
- 8:06shouldn't be contracting muscle Y. Uh
- 8:08well in case you didn't know you can
- 8:09just do all that with Claude now. Yeah,
- 8:11you can literally take a video of
- 8:13yourself with your phone playing tennis
- 8:15or whatever and rather than paying a
- 8:17world-class coach, okay, maybe 150 to
- 8:20$200 an hour, you can legitimately just
- 8:22give this out to Claude. Claude will
- 8:24find a bunch of libraries that track
- 8:26your knee position, your arm position, a
- 8:28bunch of like bounding boxes around your
- 8:29strokes and stuff like that. And it will
- 8:31tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that you
- 8:33suck at tennis. Believe me, I suck at
- 8:35tennis. How cool is it that you can now
- 8:37do this and you can do this for pennies
- 8:39on the dollar? I mean like I feel really
- 8:41old just thinking about kids that are
- 8:43going to be born into today's world
- 8:45where they could just ask AI, give me a
- 8:47running analysis, and it will happily do
- 8:49so. Did you know you could use the same
- 8:51technology with smart glasses? I don't
- 8:53know if you all have like meta glasses
- 8:55or Ray-Bans or or maybe something open
- 8:56source and then have AI actually like
- 8:59pick things out in your environment for
- 9:01you using vision recognition technology.
- 9:03And so this is a startup called One
- 9:05Shot. And you know a few days ago the
- 9:07guy that owns it posted a video from a
- 9:08greenhouse full of a bunch of flowers. I
- 9:10I don't know their name, but basically
- 9:12the video, as you guys could see, shows
- 9:13a bunch of these bounding boxes around
- 9:15flowers that are ripe. And so the ripe
- 9:17flowers are the ones that you actually
- 9:19pick. You can apply this to like an
- 9:20actual company production line and you
- 9:23can get 150 to 200% the revenue by
- 9:25picking the right flowers. And so
- 9:27obviously you guys can all pick the
- 9:28right flowers cuz who the hell flower
- 9:30picks nowadays? Probably not the people
- 9:32that are watching this video. But the
- 9:33point that I'm making is this works in
- 9:35virtually any industry right now so long
- 9:38as there's enough data to tell you which
- 9:39flowers are ripe and which ones aren't
- 9:41or which packages to pick up and which
- 9:42ones to leave or which weights you can
- 9:44pick up and which ones you can you
- 9:46should not. Uh you guys can build
- 9:47something like this yourselves
- 9:48legitimately just through like a couple
- 9:50of text prompts with Claude or another
- 9:52agent. Have you guys tried automating
- 9:53your work in Claude recently? Well, if
- 9:55you guys use the Claude in Chrome
- 9:57extension, you can now actually record
- 9:59yourself doing something. Just click
- 10:00this little record icon in the extension
- 10:02panel and then it will just look at
- 10:04where your mouse is going and what
- 10:06buttons you are clicking and then
- 10:07legitimately do it for you. So I don't
- 10:09know how many of you have like click
- 10:10heavy jobs, but I have a very click
- 10:12heavy job. And I'd legitimately just
- 10:14went through a couple of the tasks that
- 10:16I do on a daily basis, clicked record
- 10:18and then moved my mouse around and it
- 10:19just replaced me completely. I feel more
- 10:22obsolete than a Blockbuster membership
- 10:24card. As you can do a lot more with AI,
- 10:26you can ask it to make you music videos,
- 10:28you can ask it to build you simulations
- 10:30of societies, you can ask it to furnish
- 10:33your interior office. Really the
- 10:35possibilities are limitless. Hopefully
- 10:37you guys learned a couple of new cool
- 10:39use cases today. And as mentioned, you
- 10:41guys can grab all of them down below in
- 10:42the description, just the second link.
- 10:44If you like this, subscribe. Have a
- 10:45lovely rest of the day.
