31 Life-Changing Ways to Use Claude in 2027 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Paying for Claude and then using it just
- 0:02to send emails is like buying a
- 0:04Lamborghini and letting it idle in a
- 0:06Walmart parking lot. So, in this video,
- 0:08I want to show you a hit list of
- 0:10extremely interesting high alpha ways
- 0:13that you can use Claude that you
- 0:14probably haven't heard of before. And
- 0:16I'm also going to give you guys prompts
- 0:17to reproduce all of these outcomes if
- 0:20you just click the second link in the
- 0:21description below. The whole idea is to
- 0:22help people understand that like we're
- 0:24in a massive capabilities overhang right
- 0:25now. AI can do a lot more than most
- 0:27people think. Check these out. First use
- 0:29case is to remove all of the ads from
- 0:31your television. This person got really
- 0:33pissed at the crappy TV that they
- 0:35bought. So, they sent Claude code the
- 0:37store listing and then asked it, "Hey,
- 0:39can you hack into this TV and then
- 0:41remove all my ads?" Claude rebuilt the
- 0:43entire thing from the ground up and now
- 0:45there are no ads, there's no like
- 0:47bloatware or whatever, and there's a
- 0:49cute screensaver with their calendar,
- 0:51you know, some stripe payments and so on
- 0:53and so forth. Then immediately after
- 0:54this, somebody else did this before
- 0:55their parents'TV and it blew up. So, go
- 0:57do it for your own family. Claude can
- 0:58also build things. This person wanted a
- 1:01dictation microphone, just a microphone
- 1:03that allows them to dictate to it,
- 1:05presumably to transcribe with AI. So,
- 1:07instead of, you know, using your phone
- 1:09like a regular person, they actually
- 1:10just said to Claude, "Hey, can we build
- 1:12this?" And then Claude went and it
- 1:13picked a bunch of parts, it designed the
- 1:15circuit, it wrote the literal firmware,
- 1:18and then it made a case to 3D print it
- 1:21in literally just a couple of days.
- 1:22Okay, how about this person who
- 1:23literally hacked together with Claude an
- 1:25air conditioning interface. Look how
- 1:27gorgeous that thing is. You know,
- 1:29there's no amount of money that you can
- 1:31pay an air conditioner manufacturer to
- 1:32get a user interface even remotely that
- 1:34beautiful. They just sent a bunch of
- 1:36notes to Claude on what they wanted and
- 1:37a couple hours later they legitimately
- 1:39had a working controller in their
- 1:41taskbar. How about jailbreaking your
- 1:43Kindle? This person just plugged a
- 1:44Kindle into their laptop and said, "Hey,
- 1:47can you jailbreak this?" Turns out you
- 1:49can hack for good. So, Claude removed
- 1:50all of the Amazon bloat and put it on
- 1:53their own private network. And then
- 1:54using this, somebody in Japan did it and
- 1:56then turned their Kindle into basically
- 1:58like a beautiful home dashboard like you
- 1:59might be able to buy from Apple or from
- 2:01Google. How about fixing your damn
- 2:02Wi-Fi? Uh this person sent Claude Code a
- 2:05photo of a really slow, painstakingly
- 2:08old Wi-Fi router. I think the speed was
- 2:09like 5 or 10 megabits a second. Claude
- 2:12went through every single setting, it
- 2:13found everything that was slowing it
- 2:15down, and then it fixed it, which
- 2:16improved their Wi-Fi speeds by 8x. Can
- 2:19you imagine improving your Wi-Fi speeds
- 2:20800%and not paying a single dollar for
- 2:23it? This person got a really cheap
- 2:25Bluetooth printer, uh, like one of those
- 2:26receipt printers, and they just pointed
- 2:28Claude at the printer and said, "Hey,
- 2:30could you print an email every morning
- 2:32and give me a piece of paper so that I
- 2:33can just like take it and then read the
- 2:35newspaper again?" Um not super, you
- 2:37know, high ROI, but obviously super
- 2:38cute. This one is where somebody plugged
- 2:40a spare phone into a DJI drone. Uh in
- 2:43case you guys don't know, these things
- 2:44are really cool and you can take super
- 2:46sick photos and videos with them. And
- 2:47then gave Claude Code a prompt saying,
- 2:50"Hey, could you turn this thing into a
- 2:51home security drone instead? I want this
- 2:54thing to be prowling my premises like a
- 2:56guard dog." Uh they linked it to their
- 2:57alarm, and now it runs with no cloud
- 3:00like on the freaking DJI drone. How
- 3:01about like repurposing your stuff? So,
- 3:04this person had an iPad from I think
- 3:06like 2010 or 2012, and it couldn't run
- 3:08modern apps cuz you know, it's super old
- 3:09and whatever. Obviously, planned
- 3:11obsolescence is a big deal, right? Your
- 3:12washing machine's going to work 3 years
- 3:14until you have to shell out a mortgage
- 3:16on your home to buy a new one. Well,
- 3:17Claude got into the iPad, and then it
- 3:20built a wall panel for their smart home.
- 3:22Um legitimately, you know, a device that
- 3:23you can buy for $30 and you now have an
- 3:26infinitely hackable interface. Okay,
- 3:28this one's wild. Somebody bought a used
- 3:30BlackBerry, remember those, for like 60
- 3:32bucks, and then reverse engineered it.
- 3:34And now they have a physical keyboard
- 3:36and Claude Code in their pocket, and
- 3:38it's on a phone that realistically costs
- 3:39like 50 or 60 bucks, as opposed to these
- 3:42sexy, you know, minimalistic phones
- 3:44nowadays that cost like 10x that. This
- 3:45guy canceled almost every software
- 3:48subscription he owns. His name's Peter
- 3:50Levels, he's pretty big on Twitter. And
- 3:51he just asked Claude, "Hey, could you
- 3:53build a replacement software app for me
- 3:55instead based off of this?" It led him
- 3:57to having a freaking personal list of
- 3:59subscriptions that are now down to eight
- 4:01bills. I probably have 80 bills, and two
- 4:03of his eight were actually just
- 4:04utilities and taxes, meaning he's now
- 4:07down to six bills total. Okay, if we go
- 4:09institutional here, um Anthropic
- 4:11actually proved that their agents can
- 4:14negotiate and haggle. They gave 69
- 4:16employees their own Claude agents, and
- 4:19then let the agents buy and sell goods
- 4:21with each other. And the agents,
- 4:22independently of the employees, closed
- 4:24almost 200 deals on their own. Uh the
- 4:26ones with the stronger models, so the
- 4:28ones that were maybe ripping an Opus,
- 4:29while the other ones were using a Haiku
- 4:31or Sonnet, got cheaper pricing, and
- 4:33then, interestingly enough, the dumber
- 4:34models didn't even notice. So, you can
- 4:36legitimately haggle and get whatever the
- 4:37hell you want with these models right
- 4:39now. Rip it on Facebook Marketplace. I
- 4:41know a lot of cracked 18-and
- 4:4219-year-olds that are doing that right
- 4:44now. I'm not going to talk about the
- 4:45moral or ethical realities of this, but
- 4:48this fellow connected Claude code to an
- 4:51Android phone that he had running
- 4:52around. Uh and then he downloaded Hinge
- 4:54onto it, plus a couple of text files
- 4:56with preferences, deal breakers, you
- 4:58know, stuff they're looking for, and
- 4:59whatever. BBLs, who knows. It led to 25
- 5:03matches a day, and the person went
- 5:04through these and said that around 60%
- 5:07of the matches that they found on their
- 5:08phone were people that they probably
- 5:10would have picked themselves. Although,
- 5:11to be fair, somebody that would build a
- 5:12system like this is probably right
- 5:14swiping on everybody and their mom.
- 5:15Okay, how about this? You think your
- 5:16computer's really hot, and you're like,
- 5:18"What's going on with my, you know, with
- 5:19the temperature of my hard drive? Like,
- 5:21something's funky here." And then you
- 5:22ask Claude, "Hey, can you build me a
- 5:23simple temperature monitor, just to like
- 5:25tell me what's going on?" Well, this is
- 5:27what a person did, and they found that
- 5:28the readings were really high. And then
- 5:30they fed that to Claude, and Claude
- 5:31said, "Dude, you have a hidden crypto
- 5:33miner currently on your hard drive
- 5:35eating all 12 cores and running your Mac
- 5:37at over 100°. Let's fix this." On a
- 5:39really similar note, another person
- 5:41connected Claude code to the head unit
- 5:43in a Civic, and Claude found that there
- 5:46was a voice assistant always listening.
- 5:49There was a caller recorder on
- 5:51Bluetooth, and there was some sort of
- 5:52backdoor that the vendor left in,
- 5:54presumably to be able to snoop on
- 5:56anything that person was saying in the
- 5:57car. You know, I'm not going to shift
- 5:58blame to any particular car manufac-
- 6:00turer. It's probably just a crazy ex,
- 6:01but that's pretty wild. On that note,
- 6:03you can use Claude code to sweep through
- 6:05hotel rooms and Airbnbs and basically
- 6:07figure out if anybody's listening to
- 6:09you. So, that's what this person did.
- 6:10Claude checked for Wi-Fi cameras; uh,
- 6:12listened for like hidden trackers;
- 6:14scanned even their phone for spyware on
- 6:16it, as well as like local Bluetooth
- 6:18devices; and then, obviously, allowed
- 6:20that person to do a very in-depth check
- 6:23to see if there were lenses around them
- 6:24spying on them in the bathroom or
- 6:25whatever. So, most of these so far are
- 6:27like, you know, kind of fun and
- 6:29enjoyable and neat, but this one's
- 6:30really serious. Um there's this
- 6:3235-year-old woman called Miriam. She's a
- 6:34software engineer, and she found out
- 6:35that she had stage four breast cancer,
- 6:37as well as a rare tumor. For those of
- 6:38you that don't know, you know, stage
- 6:40four breast cancer is, you know, one of
- 6:41the most advanced types of breast cancer
- 6:42out there. And the
- 6:44greater the number of stages, the lower
- 6:45the likelihood of success. And so, you
- 6:48know, Miriam, she hasn't cured her own
- 6:49cancer or anything like that, but she
- 6:50built a team of something like 30 Claude
- 6:53agents to go and research it. This led
- 6:55to a biopsy plan that a lab at
- 6:58Dana-Farber uh reviewed and then later
- 7:00improved, okay? Then Anthropic gave them
- 7:03$30,000 in Claude credits. I probably
- 7:05would, too. And all of this is leading
- 7:07to a potential outcome where you have
- 7:09personalized vaccines for the curing of
- 7:11things like late-stage breast cancer. I
- 7:13mean, obviously, I wish this person the
- 7:14best, but we're also seeing the same
- 7:16sort of thing with like curing cancer of
- 7:18your dog, you know, personalized
- 7:20therapies for pets. This stuff is
- 7:22currently achievable right now with
- 7:24current levels of technology. You don't
- 7:25even need a smarter model. This dude, uh
- 7:27Cody, ran a whole biotech company as a
- 7:30single operator, plus a bunch of Clauds,
- 7:33uh with, you know, some part-time help.
- 7:34For a year and a half, and Anthropic
- 7:36just bought this guy's whole company in
- 7:39October. Keeping in mind, this was a
- 7:40company of him and their own agents.
- 7:43Okay, how about um finding planets? You
- 7:44know, this fellow had Claude write
- 7:46something like 1,500 scripts to search 7
- 7:49years worth of NASA telescope data. And
- 7:53guess what? Claude found a bunch of data
- 7:55that nobody had put together, and that
- 7:57led to realizing that there was a planet
- 7:59candidate out there. Hopefully, they
- 8:00name that puppy Claude. Uh the next
- 8:02morning, somebody else tried the same
- 8:03thing, and they found two additional
- 8:05planets. It's like, how much discovery
- 8:06is currently sitting around in sources
- 8:08that we just have too much data for
- 8:09human beings to go through. Speaking of:
- 8:11when Anthropic asked something like
- 8:121,000 Claude agents to go and peruse
- 8:15some big database of DNA, it led to them
- 8:18finding a new enzyme similar to CRISPR
- 8:21that nobody had found before, which may
- 8:23entail capabilities like CRISPR's
- 8:26ability to help people make personalized
- 8:28vaccines and stuff like we were just
- 8:29talking about. They just pointed 1,000
- 8:32Claude agents at something. Keeping in
- 8:33mind these guys have virtually infinite,
- 8:35you know, Claude compute. They could
- 8:36probably run a stable 5.5 or Mythos 6
- 8:40at, you know, 10,000 tokens a second.
- 8:42And then they found something that could
- 8:43legitimately lead to a revolution in
- 8:45biotechnology. Okay, if we make this
- 8:46cute again, um this person had a
- 8:494-year-old and they loved this older
- 8:51kids' game. But, um the series was not
- 8:53in the language that they spoke, which
- 8:54was French. So, they had Claude pull out
- 8:56all of the voices of the game, translate
- 8:59the voices, re-voice them using another
- 9:01service. Claude did it all on its own
- 9:03with some free local voice models. And
- 9:05then the kid ended up having like a game
- 9:06that they can understand and play. This
- 9:08person had a 9-year-old who built their
- 9:10whole own website just by talking to
- 9:12Claude code. I don't know about you, but
- 9:13I was not building websites at 9 years
- 9:15old. Imagine the clout that that little
- 9:17kiddo has on, you know, the freaking
- 9:19playground, showing off, you know, their
- 9:21favorite books and like that. And
- 9:23and I've actually done this one, but
- 9:25this person's wife just wasn't sure
- 9:27whether or not, you know, a new bed that
- 9:29she was looking at would fit in their
- 9:31daughter's room. So, she and, you know,
- 9:33her husband gave Opus 5.5 the room size,
- 9:36uh gave them four photos, gave them a
- 9:38bunch of information about what it looks
- 9:40like, then actually built a 3D planner
- 9:42of the room that allowed them to walk
- 9:43through it and then see. Similarly, I
- 9:45was just looking for good photos of my
- 9:47girlfriend and I to put up around our
- 9:49home. And so, I had Opus 5.5 develop
- 9:52like a brief little walk-through library
- 9:54um that allowed me to resize the photo
- 9:56frames, place them wherever I wanted
- 9:58around my house, see how they looked in
- 9:59different lighting conditions for
- 10:00Christ's sake. And I ended up just
- 10:02one-click buying a bunch of them as a
- 10:03result. But, there are a lot of these
- 10:04sorts of construction use cases. Uh you
- 10:06could give Opus 5.5 a floor plan and
- 10:08some photos, and then actually recreate
- 10:11a three-dimensional house that you can
- 10:13walk through before the builders even
- 10:15build it. Can you imagine how much time,
- 10:16energy, and money both builders, but
- 10:19also home owners, can save with
- 10:20technologies like this? And guess what?
- 10:22You can build it today for like $5 in
- 10:24tokens. You ever wanted to like know
- 10:25your family tree? I certainly have. Uh
- 10:28somebody in the Czech Republic gave
- 10:30Claude a birth record and then said,
- 10:32"Could you find my family tree?" It led
- 10:34to them finding a family tree that went
- 10:35back five generations. They didn't know
- 10:37any of this stuff before they asked
- 10:38Claude, and now they have whole
- 10:40genealogy dynasties uh to go through.
- 10:42You can do that right now. How about
- 10:44this person? They had a baby tracking
- 10:45app and it just started charging them
- 10:47out of freaking nowhere. There's no free
- 10:49tier. I hate when companies do this. The
- 10:51good news is you don't have to suffer
- 10:52that anymore. They were just like,
- 10:53"Okay, screw you. I'm going to get
- 10:55Claude to build it." And then they did.
- 10:57And now it's free for everybody. Maybe
- 10:59you want to learn stuff. Uh this person
- 11:01made a way to learn drones without
- 11:03having to actually jump into the drone
- 11:05and fly it around. Not only did you not
- 11:06have to buy that drone anymore, you
- 11:09don't even have to like risk it. All
- 11:11they did was they asked for a Claude
- 11:12skill that could build a site with
- 11:14drones that you can put together part by
- 11:17part and then fly in a simulation. And
- 11:19the, you know, handling and everything
- 11:20like that of the drones is extremely
- 11:22similar to real drones. So that when you
- 11:24eventually get to an actual controller
- 11:26with a real drone in front of you, it's
- 11:27like you had 10,000 hours in a in a
- 11:29flight sim. Did you ever want to learn
- 11:30something like really, really fast?
- 11:32Well, one of the best ways to do so is
- 11:33just find people that are incredible at
- 11:36the thing. And the people that are
- 11:37incredible the thing tend to know how to
- 11:39explain the thing far more simply than
- 11:41anybody else. Well, this person fed, you
- 11:43know, 40 hours of podcasts where
- 11:46developers explained how they got hired
- 11:48in depth, the step-by-steps, you know,
- 11:50the the mindset to have, and so on and
- 11:52so forth. And then Claude just digested
- 11:53it and then created a small little
- 11:55playbook of probably like a hundred X
- 11:57the information density that that person
- 11:59would have gotten out of listening to a
- 12:00podcast. Again, you can do that right
- 12:02now. As people are going to give me
- 12:03mixed feelings and and responses to
- 12:05this, but I loved Call of Duty: Modern
- 12:07Warfare 2. I was 360 no-scoping
- 12:0912-year-olds for a long time. My dear, I
- 12:12was probably 13. Um how dope would it be
- 12:15to be able to play whatever game you
- 12:16want again, whether or not there's a big
- 12:18multiplayer arena? Well, this dude
- 12:21decompiled pretty much all of COD Modern
- 12:23Warfare 2 in about a month. Um you know,
- 12:25other people use Claude to bring dead
- 12:27like 3DS games, uh restore The Witcher,
- 12:30you know, they had like an older look
- 12:31for The Witcher 3 before the game
- 12:33developers came in and presumably kind
- 12:34of screwed everything up. You can now
- 12:35decompile games and then recreate them
- 12:38and make them however you want them to
- 12:39be. Or how about like porting old-school
- 12:41games to, you know, other platforms? You
- 12:43don't actually need emulators anymore,
- 12:44okay? You could actually just like ask
- 12:46Claude, "Hey, I'm going to plug this
- 12:47thing in. What do I need in order to
- 12:48connect to it in order to have you read
- 12:50it? And can you help me rebuild this?"
- 12:51And it will do so. You can also use this
- 12:53as a creative or as a business owner to
- 12:55determine strategically what to build
- 12:57next. So, this fella mapped all of the
- 13:00150,000-ish games on Steam and then like
- 13:03plotted them on this like cool
- 13:04dimensional graph and then just had
- 13:06Claude pick out the gaps between the
- 13:08games that nobody had created yet
- 13:10conceptually. And it led to a co-op
- 13:11factory game where one of the players
- 13:13like secretly shorted the company's
- 13:14stock. Uh some sort of cool sort of
- 13:16mystery detective sort of thing. Um and
- 13:19that is like genuinely a new concept
- 13:20that exists between a bunch of
- 13:22pre-existing concepts that nobody has
- 13:23done before. You could do this thing for
- 13:25virtually any business right now if you
- 13:26wanted to. And there's just so much
- 13:27other fun stuff, you know, this person
- 13:29gave Claude code their camera and
- 13:31pointed out the window literally all
- 13:32night and then went to bed and Claude
- 13:34took all these creative photos. There
- 13:36are other people out there that have
- 13:37used Claude to do all of their market
- 13:38research. Other people that have used
- 13:40Claude to become extremely fit, to
- 13:43monitor their their glucose, to, you
- 13:45know, scrape their freaking genome and
- 13:47determine ways that they can improve
- 13:49their health that doctors would probably
- 13:50charge tens of thousands of dollars for.
- 13:52Instead, they only blew 20 bucks on a
- 13:54Claude subscription. It really is
- 13:56probably the best time ever to be alive
- 13:59and watching my YouTube videos. No, but
- 14:01just more broadly, like being able to
- 14:03use this cool technology. So, yeah, man,
- 14:06just like the world really is our
- 14:07collective gigantic oyster and whether
- 14:10or not you love oysters, I think there's
- 14:11a pearl in there for everybody.
- 14:12Hopefully you guys appreciated this
- 14:13video. If you want to learn some more
- 14:15cool Claude use cases, specifically ways
- 14:17to use Claude to make money, definitely
- 14:18check out Maker School, first link in
- 14:20the description. Otherwise, I'll catch
- 14:21all you all in the next one. Oh, and
