  1. 0:00So, in today's video, I'm going to give
  2. 0:01you the five levels to use Claude
  3. 0:03properly, condensing all of the
  4. 0:05knowledge that I've accrued running my
  5. 0:0730-person AI media company and hundreds
  6. 0:09of agents over the last 18 months,
  7. 0:11condensed into a single piece of content
  8. 0:13with the five highest leverage things
  9. 0:15that you need to know. This video is
  10. 0:17equally going to be applicable to you
  11. 0:19whether you're just using Claude to
  12. 0:21become more productive in your personal
  13. 0:22life, or whether you are building and
  14. 0:24scaling a big startup. I personally
  15. 0:26spend over $10,000 a month in Claude
  16. 0:29tokens alone. So, as a business, we've
  17. 0:31been forced to optimize and look at
  18. 0:33exactly how to use Claude across the
  19. 0:35business to get the best and most
  20. 0:37efficient results. So, subscribe to the
  21. 0:39channel if you want to stay at the
  22. 0:40cutting edge of AI, and I'm about to
  23. 0:42make you a Claude expert. All right, so
  24. 0:44before we get into the more advanced
  25. 0:46stuff, let me cover the three surfaces
  26. 0:48of Claude. Firstly, you have the chat.
  27. 0:49This is what you've probably interfaced
  28. 0:52with most if you've used Claude, where
  29. 0:53you can basically ask questions, review
  30. 0:55documents. There's honestly a lot of
  31. 0:57functionality now built into the chat,
  32. 0:59especially with the additional plugins
  33. 1:01and connectors, which we'll get into
  34. 1:02later in the video, that Claude has now
  35. 1:04added to make this even more useful. So,
  36. 1:07if you just use the chat, you can still
  37. 1:09extract a lot of value out of Claude,
  38. 1:11but in my opinion, the way to level up
  39. 1:13even further, instead of using the chat,
  40. 1:16is to use co-work. Because Claude
  41. 1:17co-work is what enables Claude to read
  42. 1:20local folders and documents on your
  43. 1:22computer. So, if you're just using the
  44. 1:23chat, it doesn't have access to any of
  45. 1:25your context, only the instructions that
  46. 1:27you feed to a project. Whereas if you
  47. 1:30use co-work, it can tap into your local
  48. 1:33memory system and context, and edit
  49. 1:35local files, which makes it even more
  50. 1:36powerful. And then the third surface
  51. 1:38within the Claude desktop application
  52. 1:41is, of course, Claude code. You can also
  53. 1:43use this through another harness like
  54. 1:45Visual Studio Code, or through the
  55. 1:46terminal, but for simplicity's sake, you
  56. 1:48can use it on the desktop just fine. And
  57. 1:51this is the next step up from Claude
  58. 1:53co-work. So, if you're vibe coding
  59. 1:55applications, if you're doing builds,
  60. 1:57it's going to be more efficient and
  61. 1:58overall a better user experience to use
  62. 2:01Claude Code. But out of the three, where
  63. 2:03I recommend people start building their
  64. 2:05habits on Claude is actually on Cowork
  65. 2:07because you get a similar user interface
  66. 2:09to the chat, but you gain the advantage
  67. 2:12of being able to still code technically
  68. 2:14and edit local files on your computer.
  69. 2:17So, I guess which one I use depends on
  70. 2:18the task. If I'm just on the go and I'm
  71. 2:20brainstorming content ideas, I'll still
  72. 2:22use the chat. It's fine for questions
  73. 2:24and, you know, light document reviews
  74. 2:25and stuff like that. But if I want
  75. 2:27Claude to access the memory system that
  76. 2:29I want it to see, I use Cowork and if
  77. 2:30I'm doing a bigger build, I use Claude
  78. 2:32Code. Now, before we get into level
  79. 2:34number two where I'll actually show you
  80. 2:36how to configure and manage your own
  81. 2:38memory system inside Cowork, let me
  82. 2:40touch on what might be the most
  83. 2:42underrated feature of Claude and that is
  84. 2:45the connectors capability in the
  85. 2:47application. Connectors essentially
  86. 2:50enable you to level up the chat because
  87. 2:52it can connect to other data sources and
  88. 2:55other applications via an MCP, which you
  89. 2:58can essentially think of as a bridge.
  90. 3:00So, instead of having to go into Higgs
  91. 3:01Field, for example, to produce video or
  92. 3:04photo-based content, you can simply add
  93. 3:06the Higgs Field connector and stay
  94. 3:08within Claude, but get access to Higgs
  95. 3:10Field's models like Seed Dance, like
  96. 3:12Gemini's Nano Banana. So, you can
  97. 3:14actually use Claude as a harness through
  98. 3:15connectors, which basically means the
  99. 3:17place that aggregates things, the user
  100. 3:19experience layer. So, you don't need to
  101. 3:21be hopping from AI tool to AI tool. Most
  102. 3:23people don't know this, but through
  103. 3:24connectors, you can actually use GPT
  104. 3:26within Claude. That is for certain tasks
  105. 3:28where you think GPT would be the better
  106. 3:31model. You can also add Google Drive, so
  107. 3:32it can view and edit things on your
  108. 3:34drive, which is super handy, especially
  109. 3:36for our company drives, which we manage
  110. 3:37on Google Drive. You can add Notion, so
  111. 3:39it can edit your to-do list and you can
  112. 3:41use Claude as a personal assistant. And
  113. 3:43the one I really like is FMP and also
  114. 3:45Quiver, which enables me to tap into,
  115. 3:47which I discuss on my finance channel,
  116. 3:49all sorts of data around stocks, crypto,
  117. 3:52my portfolio, so I can get live data
  118. 3:54based on stock earnings calls and market
  119. 3:57movements. The issue is if you just use
  120. 3:58the Claude chat and you don't use any
  121. 4:00connectors, you are doing yourself a
  122. 4:02disservice because you're just going off
  123. 4:03what Claude knows. Whereas, there are
  124. 4:05data companies like FMP that are
  125. 4:07literally just built around niche
  126. 4:09financial data. So, if you use the
  127. 4:11connector, every time you chat to
  128. 4:13Claude, you're going to get much better
  129. 4:14responses. For example, I can use Claude
  130. 4:17via FMP right now to analyze Nvidia's
  131. 4:21earnings call. This will tell me
  132. 4:22everything I need to know about the last
  133. 4:24earnings report for one of my
  134. 4:26investments. And if you want to know how
  135. 4:27to add a connector, just go into Claude
  136. 4:29settings, scroll down, click on
  137. 4:31connectors, and then you can search from
  138. 4:32a pre-made library of connectors. You've
  139. 4:35got Gmail, Slack, Google Calendar,
  140. 4:37pretty much anything that you can do on
  141. 4:39the internet can now be done by Claude.
  142. 4:41Honestly, one of the most underrated
  143. 4:42tips because everyone's talking about
  144. 4:44Claude code or the Claude chat and not
  145. 4:46addressing the fact that Claude actually
  146. 4:48needs access to information. This is the
  147. 4:50best way to get the most accurate
  148. 4:51information out of Claude and it's now
  149. 4:53inbuilt into the app. All right, now you
  150. 4:54know how to get more power out of
  151. 4:56Claude, but unless you give it the right
  152. 4:58context about yourself and about your
  153. 5:01business, then you could have all power
  154. 5:02in the world, but it'll just be useless.
  155. 5:04I think we've completely moved away from
  156. 5:06a prompt engineering environment.
  157. 5:07Remember when you had to like sit down
  158. 5:09and write these massive prompts and
  159. 5:11focus on giving it context and all this
  160. 5:13information because that's what you
  161. 5:14previously had to do to write a good
  162. 5:16prompt. Well, that environment is
  163. 5:18completely shifted now. Well, now I
  164. 5:20blurt out a lot of my prompts. I either
  165. 5:22do it through voice, through
  166. 5:23WhisperFlow, or I just write badly
  167. 5:25put-together prompts because it doesn't
  168. 5:26matter anymore. Because as long as
  169. 5:27Claude has the context about my
  170. 5:29business, it'll be able to apply what
  171. 5:31I'm trying to say to my real context.
  172. 5:33So, instead of putting time into
  173. 5:35learning how to prompt, put time into
  174. 5:37building a memory system that you truly
  175. 5:39own, which more importantly can be then
  176. 5:42ported to any LLM. If you want to use
  177. 5:43GPT, if you want to use Gemini in the
  178. 5:45future, whatever you want to use, you
  179. 5:47will own your own memory and Claude
  180. 5:49won't own your memory. Because unless
  181. 5:50you own your memory, Claude is a black
  182. 5:52box. Obviously, if you've ever spoken to
  183. 5:53the chat, it might remember things about
  184. 5:55you, but you don't have any sovereignty
  185. 5:57over what it's remembering or why it's
  186. 5:59remembering a certain thing. You might
  187. 6:00notice sometimes Claude, you know, is
  188. 6:02really weird, it'll bring up like a
  189. 6:03random fact. And then when you're
  190. 6:04talking about buying a new car, it'll
  191. 6:06bring up, "Oh, but you know, remember
  192. 6:07the new camera you were supposed to
  193. 6:08buy?" It'll just like inject all of this
  194. 6:11random stuff. So, to get around that and
  195. 6:13to have full sovereignty and ownership
  196. 6:15over your own memory, what you want to
  197. 6:17do is create a memory system. So, there
  198. 6:18are two ways to set up a memory system.
  199. 6:20The first way is to set it up locally,
  200. 6:22which I'll show you, and the second way
  201. 6:24is to set it up on the cloud, which I'll
  202. 6:26also run you through. Now, both have
  203. 6:27pros and cons. Locally is easier to
  204. 6:29manage and is probably what I would
  205. 6:31recommend for building your first
  206. 6:33context and memory system. But then, if
  207. 6:35you're going to create applications in
  208. 6:36the future, and if you're really
  209. 6:38hopping, you know, if you're more
  210. 6:39advanced between multiple LLMs, you may
  211. 6:41want to consider putting it on the
  212. 6:42cloud. As long as you have good
  213. 6:43protection, like two-factor authenti-
  214. 6:45cation. The other benefit is, if I don't
  215. 6:47know, I spill water over my laptop and
  216. 6:48my laptop dies, I have a backup of all
  217. 6:50my memory and I don't lose it. Maybe if
  218. 6:52it's like a basic context profile on
  219. 6:54yourself, it doesn't matter so much. But
  220. 6:55if you were to build out a full memory
  221. 6:58system for your business and something
  222. 6:59happened to your computer and the file
  223. 7:01got corrupted, you'd be distraught. So,
  224. 7:03that is where maybe considering a cloud
  225. 7:05option makes sense. Or of course, a lot
  226. 7:06of people that just have their memory
  227. 7:08systems locally and then every now and
  228. 7:09then they'll do a backup of their
  229. 7:10computer and they'll upload it to a
  230. 7:12drive or something, you know, so they
  231. 7:13have a cloud backup. Firstly, going to
  232. 7:15create a local memory system, this is
  233. 7:16what I'd recommend. Just create a folder
  234. 7:18on your computer. This is my AI brain.
  235. 7:20It essentially has context, so this is a
  236. 7:22file with all the context about myself,
  237. 7:25my business, what I do. To create this
  238. 7:27for the first time, all you need to do
  239. 7:28is do a voice prompt insertion with
  240. 7:30Claude. Ask it to ask you questions
  241. 7:32about yourself and about your business
  242. 7:34and it will write an entire MD, which is
  243. 7:36a markdown file. Don't do PDFs because
  244. 7:38Claude finds it harder to read. And
  245. 7:40also, make sure when you create an MD
  246. 7:42file that you scrutinize and you go line
  247. 7:45by line through each line and you put a
  248. 7:47bit of manual work in up front to make
  249. 7:49sure that what it's saying is correct
  250. 7:51because what's going to happen in the
  251. 7:52future is every business decision, every
  252. 7:54prompt is going to be based on those
  253. 7:56facts. So, you know, if you say that you
  254. 7:58have a $100,000 net worth and it
  255. 8:01accidentally transcribes, you know, a
  256. 8:02million-dollar net worth, then all
  257. 8:04future spending decisions are going to
  258. 8:05be based on, you know, 10x your actual
  259. 8:07net worth. That's obviously a big issue.
  260. 8:09So, you want to make sure that each line
  261. 8:11is actually, you know, true to you. The
  262. 8:13next thing you want to do is create an
  263. 8:14instructions.md
  264. 8:16file. This file tells Claude how to
  265. 8:18behave. So, you can put in preferences
  266. 8:20like, you know, always make your
  267. 8:22responses super analytical, abbreviated,
  268. 8:24don't ramble, don't confirm my bias,
  269. 8:27think strategically, and very
  270. 8:29importantly, in the instructions file,
  271. 8:31you want to put a line saying, "Notify
  272. 8:34me every single time you make a change
  273. 8:36to my memory.md file and make sure that
  274. 8:39every substantial new piece of
  275. 8:41information is used to update materially
  276. 8:45the memory.md file." So, what is the
  277. 8:47memory.md file? This is essentially
  278. 8:49Claude's brain. So, it's going to have
  279. 8:51all the context on you and what you tell
  280. 8:52it. So, every single time you give it
  281. 8:53new information like, "Okay, I just
  282. 8:55landed a new big client for my
  283. 8:57business." or, "You know, I'm pivoting
  284. 8:58more into SaaS products and I'm going to
  285. 9:00have SaaS attached to the info product."
  286. 9:02You would tell that to Claude and if you
  287. 9:03have the instructions set up correctly,
  288. 9:04your memory.md file gets automatically
  289. 9:06updated. And every now and then, what I
  290. 9:09recommend is you manually go through the
  291. 9:11memory.md file and you call it down just
  292. 9:14to make sure that it's manageable cuz
  293. 9:15the problem with Claude or any LLM for
  294. 9:17this matter is if the memory context is
  295. 9:19too bloated, sometimes Claude actually
  296. 9:21gets confused and the response time gets
  297. 9:23slower and it burns more tokens because
  298. 9:25it's reading through this five-page
  299. 9:27memory.md file. So, what you want it to
  300. 9:29have is just the core memory. Then, what
  301. 9:31you can do is in the instructions.md
  302. 9:33file, you can have a note that there is
  303. 9:35another folder attached called, for
  304. 9:37example, AI Edge YouTube, which is one
  305. 9:38of my business, or whatever your
  306. 9:40business is called, that has additional
  307. 9:42business context, only read that folder
  308. 9:44when I'm asking a question applicable to
  309. 9:47the information in that folder. Because
  310. 9:49within that folder, that's where you can
  311. 9:51have all of your business context and
  312. 9:53data. So, this is quite a light example
  313. 9:55for this video, but you could literally
  314. 9:56have an MD file or HTML mind map of your
  315. 9:59entire business, your funnel strategy.
  316. 10:01Like, this is where you can just dump
  317. 10:02and save all of the more complex
  318. 10:04information about yourself and your
  319. 10:06personal life, or
  320. 10:07>> [snorts]
  321. 10:07>> you know, your business if you're
  322. 10:08running a business. And if the
  323. 10:09instructions are set up correctly, then
  324. 10:11it won't be reading through that entire
  325. 10:13folder every single time that you need a
  326. 10:15response to a question, or once again,
  327. 10:16it'll just bloat the system. So,
  328. 10:18essentially, creating a memory system
  329. 10:21comes down to context, instructions, and
  330. 10:23memory. If you do that, and you plug it
  331. 10:25into Cohere, by selecting the folder
  332. 10:27that you store all of this information,
  333. 10:29every single time you do a prompt on
  334. 10:31Claude, it can edit that folder, and it
  335. 10:33can review that folder so your responses
  336. 10:36are tailored to you. This is the single
  337. 10:37biggest improvement that you can make to
  338. 10:39using any AI because it actually has the
  339. 10:41context on you. Now, the second option,
  340. 10:43as I said, is the cloud option. I won't
  341. 10:44go into too much depth, but you can
  342. 10:46build your own custom system on
  343. 10:48Superbase using Postgres. The way to do
  344. 10:51this is basically just ask Claude to
  345. 10:53build it for you, it'll be able to build
  346. 10:54it. Or secondly, you could use a
  347. 10:56purpose-built tool like Supermemory. Or
  348. 10:58if you're using an application to vibe
  349. 11:00code like Base 44, they also have their
  350. 11:01own proprietary memory systems. I think
  351. 11:03Supermemory is great for people that
  352. 11:05want a unified experience across all of
  353. 11:07their LLMs and apps. So, it's worth
  354. 11:09considering. Superbase, you have some
  355. 11:11memory sovereignty. If you ask Claude,
  356. 11:13once again, what is best for your needs,
  357. 11:15depending on the complexity of your
  358. 11:16business, it'll be able to tell you.
  359. 11:18But, I would recommend, if you have not
  360. 11:19built a memory system, to start with a
  361. 11:20local folder so you understand it, and
  362. 11:22then upgrade to cloud later. All right,
  363. 11:24now it's time to move on to level three,
  364. 11:26which is the first level where Claude is
  365. 11:29literally going to be doing the work for
  366. 11:30you. And I just want to remind you,
  367. 11:32because now things are getting more
  368. 11:33advanced, that the entire cheat sheet
  369. 11:35from today's video will be available for
  370. 11:37free down below in my free school. This
  371. 11:39is a brand new community that I just
  372. 11:41launched to help you level up with AI.
  373. 11:42It has all of my free resources, and I
  374. 11:45think we're building an absolutely
  375. 11:45amazing community there. So, if you want
  376. 11:47the cheat sheet for today's video, which
  377. 11:48includes the setup guide for you to set
  378. 11:50up skills, set up a memory system, and
  379. 11:52everything I've talked about that you
  380. 11:53can actually just put into your own
  381. 11:54Claude to make the information from this
  382. 11:57video applicable, then check out the
  383. 11:59free school down below and come be a
  384. 12:00part of the AI Edge community. All
  385. 12:02right, so level three is extremely
  386. 12:04important. As I said, this is how you
  387. 12:05genuinely start automating your life and
  388. 12:07business, and that is Claude skills.
  389. 12:09Because a memory system means Claude
  390. 12:11knows you, but skills learn how you
  391. 12:13actually complete specific tasks. I
  392. 12:15believe this is the highest leverage
  393. 12:17feature in the product alongside
  394. 12:19connectors, and almost nobody uses them
  395. 12:21properly. So, right now I'm going to
  396. 12:22quickly show you how to set up a Claude
  397. 12:24skill and how to use a Claude skill.
  398. 12:26What you need to know is that a skill is
  399. 12:27essentially a folder with instructions
  400. 12:29in it. So, whenever you complete a task,
  401. 12:31Claude knows exactly the steps and the
  402. 12:34preferences that you have in order to
  403. 12:36complete that task in the most efficient
  404. 12:38manner. So, you know, if I want to
  405. 12:40script a video like this, every single
  406. 12:42time I work on a video, I use a Claude
  407. 12:44skill, which learns what I like because
  408. 12:47I keep giving Claude feedback, and it
  409. 12:49updates the skill every single time. So,
  410. 12:51I can have an entire script spoken like
  411. 12:53me, formatted like I would, and
  412. 12:54presented in the way that I prefer. And
  413. 12:56every single time I do a script, I give
  414. 12:58it feedback on how it did, so it gets
  415. 12:59better and better and better. Or you can
  416. 13:00have a copywriting if you're trying to
  417. 13:02get sales leads or if you're trying to
  418. 13:03write posts for X, whatever you're
  419. 13:04trying to do, where you can train it to
  420. 13:05speak like you. Obviously, it's easier
  421. 13:07for me cuz I'm creating content, so we
  422. 13:09can just take the transcripts, and every
  423. 13:10time I film a video like this, we can
  424. 13:12feed it to Claude so it learns my real
  425. 13:14intonation, my real vocabulary choices.
  426. 13:17So, copywriting for a content creator is
  427. 13:18easier, but you can mimic this just by
  428. 13:20asking Claude to ask you some questions,
  429. 13:22and you can just speak like you normally
  430. 13:23would, and it can learn how you speak.
  431. 13:25And you can improve it over time. And
  432. 13:26the possibilities go way bigger than
  433. 13:28that. You could build a Claude skill to
  434. 13:30scan your competitors. You can build an
  435. 13:31ideation skill. You can build a skill
  436. 13:33which hunts properties for you, finds
  437. 13:35opportunities in the e-commerce drop
  438. 13:37shipping space. Anything you were doing,
  439. 13:39you can automate with a skill. And now
  440. 13:41I'm going to show you how. So, what you
  441. 13:42want to do is you want to go {forward
  442. 13:43slash} skill creator. This is basically
  443. 13:45going to set up the creator that's going
  444. 13:47to ask you questions in order to train a
  445. 13:49skill. This is best used when you can
  446. 13:51either verbally through voice
  447. 13:53transcription explain how you like to do
  448. 13:55something. Or if you want to feed it the
  449. 13:56data which it'll ask you for, like
  450. 13:58documents, PDFs, files, MD, whatever, to
  451. 14:00actually train the skill. But something
  452. 14:01that is very cool that Claude recently
  453. 14:04launched which made skill creation even
  454. 14:06easier is this feature right here. If
  455. 14:09you click on the plus button next to the
  456. 14:11chat, you can actually now record your
  457. 14:14screen. So, it'll look at what you're
  458. 14:15doing in real time. And if you
  459. 14:17transcribe what you're doing, it'll also
  460. 14:18be listening to your microphone. And you
  461. 14:20can run it through an entire process.
  462. 14:22So, what I did is I ran it through my
  463. 14:24entire competitor scanning process where
  464. 14:26I sit down, I look at competitor
  465. 14:28channels, I look at what performs well,
  466. 14:30and I train the skill to automatically
  467. 14:31look at what makes it bad video a good
  468. 14:33video. I talked it through the entire
  469. 14:34process. And now, whenever I want to
  470. 14:36scan YouTube, it searches the search
  471. 14:38term that I'm interested in, for
  472. 14:39example, Claude. It looks at all my
  473. 14:41competitors. It analyzes the data on a
  474. 14:44reoccurring basis. And then it comes
  475. 14:45back to me with proven vetted content
  476. 14:48ideas. And I trained it just through
  477. 14:50this screen recording. Or for example,
  478. 14:51if you're in a job where you have to do
  479. 14:52data entry, you can do the data entry
  480. 14:54like let's say you work at a finance
  481. 14:56firm or an accounting firm. You can do
  482. 14:57the data entry and you can explain why
  483. 14:59you're doing what you're doing. Because
  484. 15:01maybe Claude isn't the best if you just
  485. 15:02give it a spreadsheet because it might
  486. 15:04not fit the criteria that your company
  487. 15:06is asking for or it might not fit the
  488. 15:08exact work flow you're trying to
  489. 15:09achieve. But if you've walked it through
  490. 15:11and you've spoken while showing it what
  491. 15:13you're doing, it'll pick up on those
  492. 15:14little nuances. So, this is kind of
  493. 15:16crazy, but something I would recommend
  494. 15:17that you actually do is whenever you're
  495. 15:19working on your computer, try and record
  496. 15:21as much as possible. Like every time
  497. 15:23you're doing a task, try and record it
  498. 15:25and explain to Claude what you're doing.
  499. 15:26Because now it doesn't only just hear,
  500. 15:28it also sees. And this is a massive
  501. 15:29opportunity for you to be able to
  502. 15:31literally automate your work. And as
  503. 15:33your work evolves, you can keep doing
  504. 15:34more recordings to update the skill over
  505. 15:36time. Now, anytime I want to do certain
  506. 15:38things like analyze competitors, like
  507. 15:40writing, like video scripting, now I can
  508. 15:42literally just use my skills and I can
  509. 15:44have it done exactly how I want it done.
  510. 15:46This saves so much time. Yes, there's a
  511. 15:47bit of upfront investment, but it's an
  512. 15:49absolute game-changer. If you want to
  513. 15:50get the most out of Claude, instead of
  514. 15:52what most people are doing, which is
  515. 15:53just opening new chats with no context.
  516. 15:55This point in the video is going to get
  517. 15:56even better with level four and level
  518. 15:57five, by the way. You've just stacked a
  519. 15:59memory system on top of skills to
  520. 16:02automate work, but now let's get into
  521. 16:03the really fun stuff. All right, so
  522. 16:05everything so far still required a bit
  523. 16:07of manual work. Even skills, technically
  524. 16:09you need to sit down and prompt a skill.
  525. 16:11What I'm about to show you next is the
  526. 16:13best way to use Claude in 2026, and that
  527. 16:16is loops and scheduling. I'll focus on
  528. 16:19loops first. A loop is essentially
  529. 16:21Claude doing a task on repeat without
  530. 16:24you triggering it based on a preset of
  531. 16:27variables and instructions. There are
  532. 16:28two commands that I love using in
  533. 16:30Claude. The first one is forward slash
  534. 16:32goal. This tells Claude exactly what you
  535. 16:34are trying to achieve. For example, I
  536. 16:36want to build a personal habit tracking
  537. 16:38dashboard with the following
  538. 16:40constraints. And then I'm going to use
  539. 16:42forward slash loop. Based on my entries
  540. 16:45every day and my behavior, automatically
  541. 16:47adjust the dashboard to better optimize
  542. 16:49my productivity. That's one example of a
  543. 16:51loop. An even better example is for
  544. 16:52content. The example I showed you
  545. 16:54before, you can actually use a Claude
  546. 16:56skill with a goal and a loop. Let me
  547. 16:58show you. Goal, come up with the top
  548. 17:00five video ideas based on what is
  549. 17:02currently performing well on YouTube.
  550. 17:04Loop, every 24 hours, you need to
  551. 17:06specify the duration, look through the
  552. 17:08top ranked videos with the following
  553. 17:10search terms, and update the list on a
  554. 17:12spreadsheet ordered by your highest
  555. 17:15conviction ideas. Use my video research
  556. 17:17skill to follow the exact same mental
  557. 17:19framework that I trained you on. So now
  558. 17:21it's using a skill which is trained on a
  559. 17:23loop, so telling Claude how often, what
  560. 17:26variable, what interval it needs to
  561. 17:28repeat that task, and with the goal in
  562. 17:30mind, so it knows what the end goal is.
  563. 17:32The way the new Mythos class models
  564. 17:34work, and GPT also works with this as
  565. 17:37well, is they are so smart now that they
  566. 17:39are able to self-correct their own work.
  567. 17:42So even if you're vibe coding an
  568. 17:43application, running loops to do audits
  569. 17:46is a massive game-changer because it can
  570. 17:48actually vibe code for you on a loop
  571. 17:50automatically. And if you want to
  572. 17:51schedule a task, you can go into the
  573. 17:53scheduling function of Claude, and you
  574. 17:55know, have a set time when a task is
  575. 17:57scheduled. For example, every single
  576. 17:58morning I have a research report which
  577. 18:00is sent to my inbox based on what
  578. 18:03happened in the market overnight,
  579. 18:05connected to the FMP connector from
  580. 18:06before, that actually has my context on
  581. 18:08my own portfolio. So every morning I see
  582. 18:10exactly what I need to know about my own
  583. 18:12portfolio. That is done on a scheduled
  584. 18:14cadence. You don't need to run a loop
  585. 18:17alongside a schedule. So you could just
  586. 18:18schedule a task on its own, but for
  587. 18:20tasks with shorter intervals, I prefer
  588. 18:22to run loops. And for tasks that are
  589. 18:24more like daily or weekly, I prefer to
  590. 18:26run schedules. But forward slash goal, I
  591. 18:28use nonetheless to actually tell Claude
  592. 18:30what I am trying to achieve. And now
  593. 18:32let's move on to the final level, the
  594. 18:34master level, and something that
  595. 18:35honestly in my business took a long time
  596. 18:37to crack, but I feel like we're finally
  597. 18:38getting there and it's so exciting. This
  598. 18:40is the creation of agentic workflows.
  599. 18:43Now technically in level four, a loop is
  600. 18:45[music] an agentic workflow because it
  601. 18:47is going to spawn agents on your behalf.
  602. 18:49But to level up, you can create a system
  603. 18:51which orchestrates, especially for
  604. 18:53complex tasks, automatic behavior and
  605. 18:56automatic model selection. For example,
  606. 18:58you can have Claude Fable, which is like
  607. 19:00still the smartest model on Claude, but
  608. 19:02it could change. They're always updating
  609. 19:03new models. But right now I use Claude
  610. 19:05Fable as the orchestrator, and then I
  611. 19:07have Opus 5, and then I have Claude
  612. 19:09Haiku and Sonnet based on how complex
  613. 19:11the subtask is to complete work so I can
  614. 19:14actually reduce token cost. So
  615. 19:16essentially have different models doing
  616. 19:17different jobs. And what you want to
  617. 19:18tell Claude Fable is to spawn sub-agents
  618. 19:21to complete a certain task. You combine
  619. 19:23that with the scheduling feature that I
  620. 19:25talked about before or the looping
  621. 19:26feature and you can actually have tasks
  622. 19:28running automatically. I did a video on
  623. 19:30this recently but something that's
  624. 19:31really been helping me in my work is
  625. 19:33graph engineering. So basically breaking
  626. 19:35down a process, for example, a video
  627. 19:37production, you know, all the way from
  628. 19:39ideation to publishing the video, I will
  629. 19:41write down each step of the process and
  630. 19:44I will visualize in a mind map graph who
  631. 19:47and what model needs to be involved at
  632. 19:49every step of the process. I'll also put
  633. 19:51in where a human needs to be involved.
  634. 19:52Like I'm the bottleneck a couple times
  635. 19:54in the process but I can visualize which
  636. 19:56agents are used at different points in
  637. 19:57the process. And if you create this for
  638. 19:59every single task and create a skill for
  639. 20:01it, Claude will be able to orchestrate
  640. 20:03your agentic workflow on your behalf.
  641. 20:05This is the ultimate way to do things
  642. 20:07and I've done a full video on this. So
  643. 20:08if you want to check out my graph
  644. 20:10engineering video, I'll link it below.
  645. 20:11And if you want the full setup guide
  646. 20:12from today's video, it's available down
  647. 20:14below for free. Come and be a part of
  648. 20:16the community and you'll get access to
  649. 20:17it. You can put it straight into Claude
  650. 20:19and you will automatically be able to
  651. 20:20apply all of the knowledge I gave you
  652. 20:22today to your real workflow and set up
  653. 20:24your own memory system from scratch.
  654. 20:26Hopefully today I've helped you level up
  655. 20:28your knowledge of Claude. These are the
  656. 20:30things that have really moved the needle
  657. 20:31for me but of course these models are
  658. 20:33only getting better and better so make
  659. 20:34sure you subscribe to the channel for
  660. 20:36more content like this and when I learn
  661. 20:37things I'll share it with you to make
  662. 20:38sure we're at the cutting edge. See you
  663. 20:40in the next video. Peace out.
