  1. 0:00If you are happy doing the same boring
  2. 0:02repetitive work every week for the rest
  3. 0:04of your career, well then click off
  4. 0:06right now because the next 30 minutes
  5. 0:08are for people who want out of that.
  6. 0:10>> you're not interested in working less,
  7. 0:13getting your time back, and following in
  8. 0:15the footsteps of Tony Stark and having
  9. 0:17your own personal version of Jarvis,
  10. 0:19well then you can click away now because
  11. 0:21this video probably [music] isn't for
  12. 0:23you. But if that does sound like
  13. 0:25something that you want, well then stick
  14. 0:27around because that is honestly where we
  15. 0:29are at right now with AI. Look, I'm
  16. 0:31actually going to admit something to
  17. 0:32you. I'm not the most technical guy in
  18. 0:34the world and I'm usually not the first
  19. 0:36mover to things when they first come
  20. 0:37out. So last year I had to have a proper
  21. 0:40catch-up myself when it comes to Claude
  22. 0:42because I definitely wasn't one of the
  23. 0:45early adopters. But once I did, it
  24. 0:47completely changed the way I worked
  25. 0:50day-to-day. And to be honest, the
  26. 0:51problem is that this thing doesn't come
  27. 0:53with an instruction manual. So most
  28. 0:54people are sitting using maybe 10% of
  29. 0:56what it can actually do, but still
  30. 0:58paying the full monthly subscription for
  31. 1:00it. So in today's video, I'm going to
  32. 1:01give you 10 tips and these are the 10
  33. 1:04that I think will take you from feeling
  34. 1:06like you're behind the curve when it
  35. 1:08comes to Claude all the way to being
  36. 1:10someone who's actually well ahead of it
  37. 1:12because that is what these 10 things did
  38. 1:14for me. Now I've actually gone ahead and
  39. 1:16split them into three categories based
  40. 1:18on how easy they are to set up and use.
  41. 1:20So that's going to be your beginner,
  42. 1:21intermediate, and advanced. And with all
  43. 1:24of that being said, let's get into tip
  44. 1:25number one, which is actually email
  45. 1:27choice. And this is going to seem like
  46. 1:28something so ridiculously
  47. 1:31but you would be surprised how many
  48. 1:32people make this mistake. [music]
  49. 1:33Because when you sign up to Claude,
  50. 1:35whatever email you use, you're stuck
  51. 1:37with it permanently. Unfortunately,
  52. 1:39Claude doesn't let you change the email
  53. 1:40that's [music] tied to your account, at
  54. 1:42least not at the time of making this
  55. 1:43video, and I have seen it happen to so
  56. 1:45many people and I actually feel really
  57. 1:47bad for them. Look, just like every
  58. 1:48other company in the world, at
  59. 1:50consulting.com, my business, we
  60. 1:51sometimes go our separate ways with
  61. 1:53people on our team. And my heart
  62. 1:55absolutely breaks for them when I find
  63. 1:57out that they've used their company
  64. 1:58email for Claude because of course
  65. 2:00[music] when they no longer work at the
  66. 2:01company they don't have access to it
  67. 2:03after we go our separate ways. And it
  68. 2:05just kind of sucks because Claude is
  69. 2:07literally your right hand person.
  70. 2:08[music] Someone who's working with you
  71. 2:10every single day. And as time goes on
  72. 2:12they're going to find out more about
  73. 2:13you, what you like, what you don't like,
  74. 2:15how you want things done. And that's
  75. 2:17actually happening behind the scenes
  76. 2:18every single time that you use it.
  77. 2:20You're basically training it and it gets
  78. 2:22more powerful as time goes on. So it
  79. 2:24would just be a real shame if you built
  80. 2:26up all of that and then lost [music] it
  81. 2:28overnight because you just can't log in
  82. 2:30anymore. And again, I know on paper this
  83. 2:32sounds like such a small thing.
  84. 2:33>> [music]
  85. 2:34>> It's just an email address, but if you
  86. 2:35lose access to that email later down the
  87. 2:37line, well then everything you spent
  88. 2:39weeks, months, and sometimes even years
  89. 2:41building just disappears and there's
  90. 2:43nothing that you can do about it. So
  91. 2:44please, if you're just starting out with
  92. 2:46Claude or you haven't made an account
  93. 2:47yet, just make sure to use an email that
  94. 2:50you know you're keeping for good. All
  95. 2:51right, now that we got that simple tip
  96. 2:53out of the way, I just mentioned to you
  97. 2:55that Claude gets better the more it
  98. 2:56knows you, which brings us directly onto
  99. 2:58the next tip, doing your memory setup.
  100. 3:01Just like most people starting their AI
  101. 3:02journey, I started off with ChatGPT and
  102. 3:05one of the biggest reasons that I didn't
  103. 3:06want to switch over to any other model
  104. 3:08is exactly what we spoke about. After
  105. 3:10working with chat for so long, it
  106. 3:13essentially became an extension of
  107. 3:14myself, right? It thinks how you think,
  108. 3:16it understands your life, your business,
  109. 3:18your goals, pretty much everything,
  110. 3:19which made walking away from that kind
  111. 3:21of feel like starting from zero. So I
  112. 3:23kind of procrastinated. I put it off for
  113. 3:24a long time. Okay, I just refused to
  114. 3:26move over to anything else. It was only
  115. 3:28when I found out that Claude actually
  116. 3:30has an inbuilt import feature that I
  117. 3:32finally made the switch. And maybe you
  118. 3:34already knew this, but if you don't,
  119. 3:36it's actually pretty straightforward. So
  120. 3:37all you're going to do is head over to
  121. 3:39the settings menu and then under
  122. 3:40capabilities you're actually going to
  123. 3:42see that there's an import option to
  124. 3:44import memory from another AI. Claude
  125. 3:46actually then gives you a prompt that
  126. 3:48you run in your old AI platform. You're
  127. 3:50going to copy what it gives you back and
  128. 3:52then you're actually going to paste it
  129. 3:53into Claude, and it pulls that straight
  130. 3:55into the memory. [music] So, that way
  131. 3:57you're not starting from scratch again.
  132. 3:59But, there's actually a small issue that
  133. 4:00I ran into, and you're probably going to
  134. 4:02run into it, too, when doing [music]
  135. 4:03this. It almost always over indexes for
  136. 4:06work-related stuff, and doesn't really
  137. 4:08focus as much on the personal side of
  138. 4:10things. [music] So, what I did was I got
  139. 4:11Claude to interview me directly.
  140. 4:13Essentially, what you're going to do is
  141. 4:14you're just going to prompt it to ask
  142. 4:15you questions based on different areas
  143. 4:17of your life. And from there, all you
  144. 4:19have to do is work through everything
  145. 4:21that it needs to know. It's going to ask
  146. 4:22you questions on your personal life,
  147. 4:24what you do for work, what your goals
  148. 4:25are. But, most importantly, it's going
  149. 4:27to ask you how you want to work with it.
  150. 4:30So, doing this for the first time is a
  151. 4:32little tedious, and that's why I wanted
  152. 4:34to give you a quick warning here. Cuz,
  153. 4:35look, I'll be honest, Claude actually
  154. 4:37comes back with a lot of questions. And
  155. 4:39if you were just to sit there typing
  156. 4:41everything out, it's going to be very,
  157. 4:43very time-consuming. And also, I guess a
  158. 4:45little bit of personal information about
  159. 4:46me, I hate typing. I don't know why, I'm
  160. 4:48just not a typer at all. So, instead of
  161. 4:50sitting there and typing your answers
  162. 4:52for hours and hours and hours, I just
  163. 4:54like to use the voice function inside
  164. 4:56Claude, and I just ramble and give it
  165. 4:58everything it needs. Now, if you want to
  166. 4:59take it a little bit further, you can
  167. 5:01also use voice-to-text softwares [music]
  168. 5:03like WhisperFlow, and they're basically
  169. 5:04going to do the same thing, except
  170. 5:06slightly more accurate. But, look,
  171. 5:07either way, doing this interview is one
  172. 5:09of the best things that I've ever done
  173. 5:11with Claude. And whenever I'm having
  174. 5:13someone in my company on ramp onto
  175. 5:14Claude, I get them to do the exact same
  176. 5:16thing. So, in the description below this
  177. 5:18video, I'll leave a link [music] to the
  178. 5:20prompt, so that way you can just run
  179. 5:21this interview yourself. And that
  180. 5:22actually brings us onto tip number
  181. 5:24three, which is understanding the
  182. 5:25different models. But, before we get
  183. 5:27into it, I just want to give you some
  184. 5:29good [music] news. You might remember in
  185. 5:30the last video, I actually mentioned
  186. 5:32that I would be giving away a brand new
  187. 5:34MacBook. Well, the winner is actually in
  188. 5:36the pinned comment below, along with
  189. 5:38instructions on how to actually claim
  190. 5:39it. And if that wasn't you, do not
  191. 5:41stress, because I'm doing the exact same
  192. 5:43thing again today. You see, I could sit
  193. 5:45here and give you all of the tips and
  194. 5:47tricks in the world, but if you haven't
  195. 5:49got some machinery to work off of, well
  196. 5:51then it doesn't really matter, does it?
  197. 5:52So, I want one of you to walk away from
  198. 5:54today's video with a brand new MacBook,
  199. 5:56as well as everything you're about to
  200. 5:57learn in the next 20 to 30 minutes. All
  201. 5:59you have to do is watch the rest of the
  202. 6:01video and leave a comment down below
  203. 6:03telling me which one of these 10 tips
  204. 6:05you found the most useful and why. And
  205. 6:07just like last week, I'm going to pick a
  206. 6:09winner and [music] leave it as a pinned
  207. 6:11comment in next week's video. So, make
  208. 6:13sure you check that out and see if you
  209. 6:14won. Now that we know how to get Claude
  210. 6:16to understand us better, let's actually
  211. 6:18look at a way that we can understand
  212. 6:19Claude a bit better. And that comes down
  213. 6:21to understanding the different models.
  214. 6:22Look, if you have millions of dollars to
  215. 6:24spend on tokens, well then you can just
  216. 6:26ignore this section, but if you don't
  217. 6:27want to waste money, then I recommend
  218. 6:28listening up. Because just like any
  219. 6:30other AI, using it can actually get very
  220. 6:32expensive. And I know this very
  221. 6:33intimately because at my company
  222. 6:34consultant.com, between internal team
  223. 6:37use and also licensing software for our
  224. 6:39clients, we are literally spending
  225. 6:41hundreds of thousands of dollars a month
  226. 6:44on tokens. That is no word of
  227. 6:45exaggeration. A lot of our clients get
  228. 6:47access to a suite of AI tools that we
  229. 6:49either internally developed or we
  230. 6:51license. So, we have a very good
  231. 6:52understanding of what these things cost
  232. 6:54day-to-day and how they fluctuate based
  233. 6:56on models. And as I said, it really
  234. 6:58depends on which model you're using.
  235. 7:00Claude and pretty much every other AI
  236. 7:02has different models that you can choose
  237. 7:04from depending on the task. The higher
  238. 7:06tier the model, the deeper the model
  239. 7:07thinks and [music] the more complex the
  240. 7:09work it's doing for you actually is. But
  241. 7:11the deeper it thinks and the more
  242. 7:12complex the task is, the more it's going
  243. 7:14to burn through tokens. So, we have to
  244. 7:16be very careful about which model we're
  245. 7:18actually using because sometimes we're
  246. 7:19spending five, sometimes even 10 times
  247. 7:21more on things than you need to. Now
  248. 7:23look, I know 99% of you aren't spending
  249. 7:25hundreds of thousands of dollars a month
  250. 7:26on tokens like we do at our business,
  251. 7:28but you're going to have the exact same
  252. 7:30problem just on a smaller scale. For
  253. 7:32you, it's going to mean hitting your
  254. 7:33usage limit quicker and then having to
  255. 7:35wait for it to reset. And look, I don't
  256. 7:36know about you, but for me personally,
  257. 7:38there's nothing more annoying than
  258. 7:39hitting a limit. Well, I guess more
  259. 7:40annoying is paying for extra credits,
  260. 7:42but that's exactly what we are trying to
  261. 7:44avoid with the third tip I'm giving you.
  262. 7:46So, let me give you a high-level of the
  263. 7:48different models and how they work.
  264. 7:49Starting with the lowest model, which is
  265. 7:51Haiku. So, Haiku is exactly what you
  266. 7:53want for something like that interview
  267. 7:55from the last tip I gave you. This is
  268. 7:56where there's going to be loads of back
  269. 7:57and forth, but nothing that really needs
  270. 7:59any deep thinking from Claude's side.
  271. 8:01Then, you've got Sonnet, and this should
  272. 8:03really be your daily driver. It's a
  273. 8:04decent step up from Haiku when you're
  274. 8:06looking into second-layer thinking and
  275. 8:08tasks where you need to start leaning
  276. 8:10into Claude's ability to actually dive a
  277. 8:12little deeper and analyze different
  278. 8:14concepts and ideas. And then, a step
  279. 8:16above that, you've got Opus. And Opus is
  280. 8:18really where you get that like you get
  281. 8:19that feeling that you you actually have
  282. 8:21like your own Jarvis, okay? When you
  283. 8:22experience it, it just has that like
  284. 8:24slightly deeper level of understanding,
  285. 8:26which means that this is the one you
  286. 8:27want to give the big stuff to, okay?
  287. 8:28[music] Data analysis, complicated
  288. 8:30workflows, pretty much anything with a
  289. 8:32lot of layers to it. And it's with this
  290. 8:34model that you really start feeling it
  291. 8:37when it comes to hitting your usage
  292. 8:38limits quickly. So, whatever you're
  293. 8:40[music] using it for, just make sure
  294. 8:41you're as thorough with your prompts as
  295. 8:42you can be. And then, right at the top,
  296. 8:45we've got Fable. Now, I'm not sure if
  297. 8:46you guys have been keeping up-to-date
  298. 8:47with what's been happening in the world,
  299. 8:49but there was this whole fiasco between
  300. 8:51Anthropic and the US government not too
  301. 8:53long ago. I'm not going to get into all
  302. 8:54of it here, but if you want to, I'm sure
  303. 8:56you can ask Claude. But basically, the
  304. 8:57end result of it was that they had to
  305. 8:59suspend access to it entirely, and it
  306. 9:01only got restored a few weeks ago. So, I
  307. 9:02haven't really had that much time to sit
  308. 9:04down and dive properly into it. But if
  309. 9:06Opus gives you a taste of what it's like
  310. 9:08to have your own Jarvis in real life,
  311. 9:10then look, I can't imagine what this
  312. 9:11thing is going to be capable of. Now,
  313. 9:13the way I want you to think about all of
  314. 9:15this is like a team, right? Look, you
  315. 9:17wouldn't take your most senior guy, the
  316. 9:20top person at the company, and have him
  317. 9:22sitting there answering generic emails
  318. 9:23all day. Quite frankly, that's a waste
  319. 9:25of his skill set, and it's a waste of
  320. 9:27your money. You give him the work that
  321. 9:28no one else can handle, and everything
  322. 9:31else goes to the rest of the team. And
  323. 9:32that's exactly how you should be
  324. 9:33treating these [music] models. Keep the
  325. 9:35smaller stuff for Haiku and Sonnet, and
  326. 9:37then the bigger stuff for Opus and
  327. 9:39Fable. And also, one important tip
  328. 9:41because I've had this issue a lot when I
  329. 9:43was first starting out. There's actually
  330. 9:44a feature inside of Claude called
  331. 9:46research mode. And this isn't a model
  332. 9:48per se, instead it's something you're
  333. 9:49going to toggle on or off within the
  334. 9:51model itself. Basically, what it does is
  335. 9:52it goes out, it's going to scour the
  336. 9:54web, it's going to pull as many
  337. 9:55resources as humanly possible, and then
  338. 9:57it's going to build all of that into a
  339. 9:59proper structured report [music] on
  340. 10:01whatever you asked it. Is it super
  341. 10:03useful? Yes. Does it also eat through
  342. 10:06your usage faster than almost anything
  343. 10:08else? Also, yes. So, if you are planning
  344. 10:10on using it just like Opus, be as
  345. 10:12specific as possible and tell it exactly
  346. 10:15what you want covered. Otherwise, you're
  347. 10:16going to be burning through a big chunk
  348. 10:18of your usage limit on something that
  349. 10:20quite frankly you don't need for most
  350. 10:21tasks. All right, so at this point, you
  351. 10:23know how to use Claude without burning
  352. 10:24through your usage. Now, I want you to
  353. 10:26know how to stop burning your time when
  354. 10:29working with Claude. And that's where
  355. 10:30tip four comes in, using skills. A skill
  356. 10:32is different from a memory. Memory is
  357. 10:34Claude learning about you over time. A
  358. 10:36skill [music] is a fixed set of
  359. 10:38instructions for one specific job that
  360. 10:41you're going to build once, and it runs
  361. 10:42the same way every single time. Look,
  362. 10:44I'm all about efficiency because doing
  363. 10:46monotonous work doesn't benefit anyone.
  364. 10:48If you're building a business and
  365. 10:49sitting there doing the same admin task
  366. 10:51every week isn't making you a single
  367. 10:53dollar. If you're working for a company,
  368. 10:55it's not making you a more valuable part
  369. 10:57of the team either, right? No one has
  370. 10:59ever been promoted for formatting the
  371. 11:01same spreadsheet the same way for the
  372. 11:03ninth week in a row. Anything
  373. 11:04monotonous, anything that you are
  374. 11:06repeating over and over, that should be
  375. 11:08automated, full stop. So, what are some
  376. 11:10of the things that you could turn into
  377. 11:12skills? Let's say you've got a weekly
  378. 11:13report that you write up for your
  379. 11:15manager. It is the same format every
  380. 11:17single time, the same structure, the
  381. 11:18same sections. Well, then, that's a
  382. 11:21skill. Maybe you often post on LinkedIn
  383. 11:23and you follow the [music] same
  384. 11:24structure every time. Congratulations,
  385. 11:26that's a skill. Or, you take your
  386. 11:28meeting [music] notes and you turn them
  387. 11:29into action items every week. That's a
  388. 11:31skill. And to build these, it is super
  389. 11:33straightforward. Once you've locked in
  390. 11:35the process for whatever it is that
  391. 11:36you're going to work on, you just tell
  392. 11:37Claude to go ahead and turn that into a
  393. 11:39skill. That's pretty much all there is
  394. 11:40to it. And honestly, if that's too much
  395. 11:42effort for you, you can actually go
  396. 11:43ahead and grab other people's skills
  397. 11:45that they've already pre-built. I guess
  398. 11:47just like everything in life, there is a
  399. 11:48whole community of people making these
  400. 11:51and sharing them on sites like Skill MP.
  401. 11:54There is literally thousands of them.
  402. 11:55Whether it's code reviewing skill, if
  403. 11:57you're doing the same sort of
  404. 11:58development task, or there's a
  405. 11:59literature review skill if you're in
  406. 12:01university. Look, the odds are is that
  407. 12:03there is someone out there who has
  408. 12:04already created it for you. And to get
  409. 12:07it into your Claude, all you're going to
  410. 12:08do is download the file, you're going to
  411. 12:09head over to your settings, and then
  412. 12:11you're just going to upload it. And it's
  413. 12:12really when you start skill stacking for
  414. 12:14all of just your annoying, monotonous,
  415. 12:16day-to-day stuff that you feel like
  416. 12:17you're closer to having your own
  417. 12:19personal Jarvis. Now, the last of our
  418. 12:21beginner tips pretty much goes against
  419. 12:22what everyone else says online. And
  420. 12:24that's tip number five, which is avoid
  421. 12:26projects. Personally, I hate them. And
  422. 12:28for me, it really comes down to
  423. 12:29something we talked about earlier. You
  424. 12:30see, over time, the more you work with
  425. 12:32Claude, the better it gets. But at the
  426. 12:34same time, you also build up a serious
  427. 12:37amount of chats. And at some point, it
  428. 12:39gets a little difficult to keep track of
  429. 12:41what you're doing. So, when I first
  430. 12:42started using Claude, I was like, okay,
  431. 12:43cool, simple. I'm just going to
  432. 12:44categorize them all into one project.
  433. 12:47I'm going to put them all in their own
  434. 12:49neat little box. But then, I ran into
  435. 12:51something that Claude doesn't really
  436. 12:52make very clear from the start, which is
  437. 12:55that a project has its own separate
  438. 12:57memory. And whatever is in that project
  439. 12:59is actually cut off and basically like
  440. 13:01sealed off from everything else. So,
  441. 13:03let's say you sit down in a normal chat
  442. 13:05and you nail down your brand identity,
  443. 13:06[music]
  444. 13:07your tone, your positioning, how you
  445. 13:09write, who you're speaking to. That's
  446. 13:10the kind of thing that touches every
  447. 13:12single thing you do in Claude, right?
  448. 13:14But then, if you go and work inside of a
  449. 13:15project, you can't see any of that. It's
  450. 13:18like Claude has never met you. And by
  451. 13:19the way, it works the other way, too.
  452. 13:21Whatever you build inside of one project
  453. 13:22actually doesn't carry over to another
  454. 13:24one, or to your general chats. It only
  455. 13:26ever searches within itself. So, you're
  456. 13:28either sitting there copying things
  457. 13:30across yourself or you're re-explaining
  458. 13:32yourself each time. And that's not
  459. 13:34particularly efficient, is it? And look,
  460. 13:35if you want to keep everything
  461. 13:36work-related in one project and
  462. 13:38everything personal in a personal
  463. 13:40project, I mean, look, that's fine. I
  464. 13:41get it. But I wouldn't go dividing
  465. 13:43things up any more than that. Because
  466. 13:44look, you actually might not realize
  467. 13:46that this has been going on and I just
  468. 13:48don't want you to make the same mistake
  469. 13:49that I did. I personally made the
  470. 13:50mistake of thinking that a project is
  471. 13:52just this neat little folder to keep
  472. 13:54things tidy. But unfortunately, it's
  473. 13:55not. And look, if you've already started
  474. 13:57using projects, [music] please don't
  475. 13:58stress. You can actually toggle any chat
  476. 14:00in or out of a project whenever you want
  477. 14:03and actually will just go straight back
  478. 14:04into your regular chats. So, with all of
  479. 14:06that being said, that is the beginner
  480. 14:08section done. Most of that, once you sit
  481. 14:10down and do it, is pretty simple. Now,
  482. 14:12we're going to step up a bit into the
  483. 14:13intermediate tips. So, let's start off
  484. 14:15by connecting your apps to Claude. You
  485. 14:17see, there's a whole bunch of options in
  486. 14:19here
  487. 14:20>> [music]
  488. 14:20>> and I'll be honest, I don't use most of
  489. 14:21them. You're just going to have to go
  490. 14:23through the list and see what makes
  491. 14:24sense for you. But if there are two that
  492. 14:26I would tell you to go and do right now,
  493. 14:28it's connecting your Gmail and your
  494. 14:29calendar. You're actually going to find
  495. 14:31them both under the connector setup
  496. 14:32within your settings. And let me explain
  497. 14:34why I think this is important. I have
  498. 14:35zero doubts that every single person
  499. 14:37watching this, at some point in their
  500. 14:39career, will end up hiring a personal
  501. 14:40assistant to make their life easier. And
  502. 14:42when you do get there, I can honestly
  503. 14:44say that it is by far one of the best
  504. 14:46ways to spend your money. But until that
  505. 14:48day comes, you're probably not going to
  506. 14:50want to spend 50, 100, even 200 grand a
  507. 14:52year on a personal assistant. So, this
  508. 14:54is your first step in that direction.
  509. 14:56Because once you actually connect your
  510. 14:57Gmail, Claude can go through everything
  511. 14:59that's already sitting in there and
  512. 15:01start drafting your replies for you. So,
  513. 15:03instead of sitting there for an hour
  514. 15:05every morning working through your inbox
  515. 15:08one by one, you could just have Claude
  516. 15:10front-load all of that for you as soon
  517. 15:12as you sit down and start your day. Oh,
  518. 15:14and by the way, it only pulls from your
  519. 15:16inbox when you ask it to. It's not like
  520. 15:18sitting in the background just spying on
  521. 15:19your emails. Now, the only part that it
  522. 15:21doesn't do on its own is send the
  523. 15:23emails. It can only draft them for you,
  524. 15:25which [music] in my opinion is
  525. 15:27definitely a great thing. AI has made
  526. 15:29big moves over the last few years, but
  527. 15:31it still gets things wrong sometimes.
  528. 15:32So, I think it's important that you
  529. 15:34proofread every email [music] and then
  530. 15:35send it yourself. Maybe in a couple
  531. 15:37years this will be a different
  532. 15:38conversation, but for now that's the
  533. 15:40best way to do it. And then you've got
  534. 15:41your calendar. And honestly, this one's
  535. 15:43super useful. But, just like a personal
  536. 15:45assistant, it needs to know exactly what
  537. 15:47you've got going on and when. Otherwise,
  538. 15:49it can't really plan around it properly.
  539. 15:51So, if the only thing that's on there
  540. 15:52right now is a handful of work meetings,
  541. 15:54it's not going to get this right. Once
  542. 15:56you've gone ahead and filled in your
  543. 15:57calendar properly, Claude can take a
  544. 15:59look at your week and tell you exactly
  545. 16:00where your gaps are. Let's say you need
  546. 16:02to fit in a work block or find a time
  547. 16:04that makes the most sense for you to go
  548. 16:05to the gym. Or let's say even just
  549. 16:07figure out like when makes the most
  550. 16:08sense to take some time off and see your
  551. 16:10family. Just tell it and it'll find a
  552. 16:12good spot for it. And until you get to
  553. 16:13the point of having your own personal
  554. 16:15assistant, this really gets you 80% of
  555. 16:17the way there for a fraction of the
  556. 16:19price. So, [music]
  557. 16:20that is how you get Claude working with
  558. 16:22your apps. But, everything we've covered
  559. 16:23up until this point has Claude sitting
  560. 16:25inside a chat window somewhere [music]
  561. 16:27waiting for you to come to it. But, what
  562. 16:29happens when you want it to help with
  563. 16:30something that doesn't really work
  564. 16:32within a chat window? That is where tip
  565. 16:33number seven comes in, which is the
  566. 16:35Chrome extension. All you have to do is
  567. 16:37download it from the Chrome Store,
  568. 16:38install it, and then sign in. And that's
  569. 16:40pretty much all there is to it. Now,
  570. 16:42once you've got this running, Claude can
  571. 16:43actually work inside whatever page
  572. 16:45you've got open in front of you. It can
  573. 16:47read the page, it can click things, it
  574. 16:49can actually fill stuff in, move between
  575. 16:51tabs. And the way I want you to think
  576. 16:52about it is kind of like bringing on a
  577. 16:54new hire, because you are the senior guy
  578. 16:56here. You've got a list of things that
  579. 16:58need done today, and a lot of them are
  580. 16:59pretty mundane and boring. They just
  581. 17:01need to get done, so you hand a couple
  582. 17:03of things off and you get on with the
  583. 17:04stuff that actually needs you. The new
  584. 17:06hire will go off and do the mundane
  585. 17:08work. And then every now and then he's
  586. 17:09going to come back and check something
  587. 17:11with you before he commits, which is
  588. 17:12exactly what you would want from someone
  589. 17:14who's been newly hired. But, you are not
  590. 17:16doing the task anymore. You are
  591. 17:18assigning it to someone else. While your
  592. 17:20head is down focused on the bigger
  593. 17:21tasks, Claude is in the background doing
  594. 17:23the grunt work for you. Let's say you're
  595. 17:25buying something and there's four
  596. 17:26different sites selling the same thing.
  597. 17:28You don't want to sit there reading 300
  598. 17:29reviews to work out which one's the
  599. 17:31best. So, it's going to go ahead and do
  600. 17:32that for you. Now, look, is this fully
  601. 17:34autonomous? No, of course not. You're
  602. 17:36still involved. Anytime it's about to do
  603. 17:37something that changes something on the
  604. 17:39page, it stops and it asks you first.
  605. 17:41Once again, for me, this is actually a
  606. 17:42good thing. I trust AI, but I don't
  607. 17:44trust it that much to work autonomously
  608. 17:46and like not get my approval. So, I also
  609. 17:48think it's important that if you're
  610. 17:49going to try this before you start a
  611. 17:51session, just go ahead and close
  612. 17:53whatever you don't want it near. Let's
  613. 17:54say your banking stuff. Let's say
  614. 17:56personal stuff. Whatever else you would
  615. 17:57rather it not touch. And also, I think
  616. 17:59it's good for you to test it on
  617. 18:00something low stakes first. So, that way
  618. 18:03you get comfortable with it, you get a
  619. 18:04feel for it, and then you can move on to
  620. 18:06more important tasks. All right, so that
  621. 18:08is the intermediate done. Now, let's
  622. 18:10move on to the last three. And these
  623. 18:11ones might feel a little bit
  624. 18:12uncomfortable for you. You might feel a
  625. 18:14little bit out of your depth at first,
  626. 18:15but I promise you the payoff is much
  627. 18:17bigger than anything else we've covered
  628. 18:18so far. So, let's go ahead and start
  629. 18:20with Co-work. Now, remember that new
  630. 18:22hire that we spoke about in the last
  631. 18:24tip, the one that you're handing off all
  632. 18:26the mundane stuff to, who keeps coming
  633. 18:27back to check every little [music] thing
  634. 18:29before they actually execute it? Well,
  635. 18:31this same person has now been working
  636. 18:33with you for 6 months, okay? He knows
  637. 18:35how you work now. He's earned a bit of
  638. 18:36trust. So, there's no need to sort of
  639. 18:38stand over your shoulder anymore.
  640. 18:39Instead, you're going to tell him what
  641. 18:41needs to be done. He comes back with how
  642. 18:42he's going to do it, and once you have
  643. 18:44given him the nod, he goes off and gets
  644. 18:46the whole thing done. That's essentially
  645. 18:48what Co-work is, and unlike the Chrome
  646. 18:50extension, this works with your whole
  647. 18:52computer, not just Chrome. You're
  648. 18:53basically going to tell it which folders
  649. 18:55it's allowed into, and from there, it's
  650. 18:57going to read what's in there. It's
  651. 18:58actually going to edit things. It's
  652. 18:59going to make new files, and pretty much
  653. 19:01do anything it needs to do to get the
  654. 19:02job done. So, look, let me show you a
  655. 19:04few examples. I can guarantee that I'm
  656. 19:05not the only one who has a downloads
  657. 19:07folder that's an absolute show. I'm
  658. 19:09sure there's many of you that are in the
  659. 19:10same position as me. You've got
  660. 19:12screenshots from 2 years ago, PDFs you
  661. 19:14open one, six copies of the same photo,
  662. 19:17files that you called final final final
  663. 19:19version three. Well, you can just point
  664. 19:20co-work at it and tell it to go through
  665. 19:22the entire thing and sort it out. And it
  666. 19:24will come back and tell you how it's
  667. 19:26planning to do that. And the second you
  668. 19:27say sounds good, it will have it sorted
  669. 19:30in a couple of minutes. But look, this
  670. 19:31doesn't just apply for your folders.
  671. 19:33Because the other thing that co-work
  672. 19:34does is actually schedule tasks. So, a
  673. 19:36few weeks back I actually put out a
  674. 19:37video where I talked about how the best
  675. 19:39way to get rich in your 20s is this
  676. 19:41concept of skill stacking. Now, pretty
  677. 19:43much the exact same principle applies
  678. 19:44here. Only now you're stacking Claude's
  679. 19:46skill instead of your own. Because
  680. 19:48co-work can use pretty much everything
  681. 19:50we've covered up until this point. The
  682. 19:52memory, the skills, the connected apps,
  683. 19:54all of it. For example, I like to start
  684. 19:55my day with the same three things.
  685. 19:57First, I want a summary of what I've
  686. 19:58done the previous day and where I left
  687. 20:00everything off. Second, I want to know
  688. 20:02what came into my inbox and have that
  689. 20:04categorized for me. And finally, I want
  690. 20:06to know what my upcoming day's tasks
  691. 20:08actually looks like. So, that way by the
  692. 20:09time I'm sitting down with my coffee,
  693. 20:10all of that has already been done and
  694. 20:12waiting for me. And I didn't have to
  695. 20:14touch a thing. And remember what I said
  696. 20:16earlier about how Claude can get really
  697. 20:18close to being your own personal Jarvis?
  698. 20:20Well, at this point, we are arguably
  699. 20:22there. Think about it. Jarvis wasn't
  700. 20:24sitting around waiting for Tony to come
  701. 20:26and just ask him a question. I mean,
  702. 20:27sure he was there when it was needed,
  703. 20:29but when he wasn't, he was running the
  704. 20:31house and handling things for Tony
  705. 20:33before he was even awake. The point I'm
  706. 20:35trying to make here is that if you spend
  707. 20:37some time setting things up properly,
  708. 20:39Claude can be working for you while you
  709. 20:41sleep. Now, there's also something in
  710. 20:42there called dispatch. And this helps me
  711. 20:44a lot because I go through phases where
  712. 20:47I'm outside the house more than I'm in
  713. 20:48it. So, basically what you're going to
  714. 20:50do is you're going to pair your phone to
  715. 20:51your computer, you're going to scan a QR
  716. 20:53code, and that's pretty much it. From
  717. 20:55there, you can actually send co-work a
  718. 20:56task straight from your computer. Now,
  719. 20:59on the surface, I know that maybe this
  720. 21:00might look a little gimmicky, but
  721. 21:02honestly, it's come in handy many times
  722. 21:04when I'm halfway to a meeting or let's
  723. 21:05say to dinner, and I remember there's
  724. 21:07something I have to do on my computer.
  725. 21:08All right, look, so far we have given
  726. 21:10Claude your browser, then we gave you
  727. 21:12your computer and files. Now, we're
  728. 21:14actually going to allow it to build
  729. 21:15things from scratch, and that is tip
  730. 21:17number nine, using Claude code. Now, I
  731. 21:20know that the name puts people off, and
  732. 21:21I get it. You hear code, and you assume
  733. 21:23[music] it's a developer thing that's
  734. 21:25got nothing to do with you. And I can
  735. 21:26tell you it's not. You describe what you
  736. 21:29want in plain English, and then it goes
  737. 21:31and writes the software behind it, and
  738. 21:33then tests it. It can even fix things
  739. 21:35when something breaks. Setting it up
  740. 21:36really isn't that complicated. You just
  741. 21:38download Claude desktop, and if you're
  742. 21:40already using Co-work, like we just
  743. 21:42mentioned, well, then you've already got
  744. 21:43the app on your computer. Either way,
  745. 21:45there's a code tab sitting right there.
  746. 21:47You don't have to work with a terminal
  747. 21:48or a dev environment or any of the other
  748. 21:51stuff that I hear the developers on my
  749. 21:53team talking about that quite frankly I
  750. 21:55don't really understand that much. Now,
  751. 21:56if you are into that kind of thing, the
  752. 21:58option is there for you to go that
  753. 22:00route, too, but quite frankly, you don't
  754. 22:01need to. So, let me give you a
  755. 22:03real-world example of what you can do
  756. 22:05here without a single bit of coding
  757. 22:08experience. So, our chief product
  758. 22:09officer at consultant.com, he is a
  759. 22:12massive runner. He loves his marathons
  760. 22:14and all of the training stuff that goes
  761. 22:16into it. And basically, what he did was
  762. 22:17instead of using one of the existing
  763. 22:19running apps, he actually just went out
  764. 22:21and built his own. It tracks his mileage
  765. 22:23and knows what he's training for, and it
  766. 22:24gives him workout plans based on where
  767. 22:26he is currently at. And because he built
  768. 22:28it himself, it does exactly what he
  769. 22:30needs it to do. He did not write a
  770. 22:32single line of code, not one. [music]
  771. 22:35And it makes sense, right? This is the
  772. 22:36guy who runs the product side of the
  773. 22:38company, not the engineering side. It's
  774. 22:40cool because he did not have to go out
  775. 22:41and find an app that was close enough to
  776. 22:44what he wanted, and then just live with
  777. 22:46the parts that annoyed him. He got the
  778. 22:48exact thing that he wanted, and it cost
  779. 22:50him nothing, minus his Claude
  780. 22:51subscription. And you can go out and do
  781. 22:53the exact [music] same thing, which I
  782. 22:55think is pretty cool. Look, if you told
  783. 22:56me 5 years ago that someone with a no
  784. 22:58developer background could build a
  785. 23:00proper functioning app in less than a
  786. 23:02day, I would have called So,
  787. 23:04whether it's a hobby that you want to
  788. 23:06track, a [music] side project that
  789. 23:07you're working on, or something that you
  790. 23:09have been doing manually in a
  791. 23:11spreadsheet for years [music]
  792. 23:12because there was never a tool for it,
  793. 23:14well, congratulations, there is no
  794. 23:16reason for that anymore. You can just
  795. 23:18build it yourself. All right, so we just
  796. 23:19took the developer out of the equation.
  797. 23:21Now, let's do the same thing with your
  798. 23:23designer. And that is tip number 10, use
  799. 23:26Claude design. Now, this is actually one
  800. 23:28of the more recent additions. I've
  801. 23:30played around with it a bit myself, and
  802. 23:31the people on my design team tell me
  803. 23:33it's pretty good. And look, if they say
  804. 23:35that, especially technically cuz their
  805. 23:37jobs could be on the line, I trust
  806. 23:38[music] them completely. Now, just so
  807. 23:39there's no confusion here, when I say
  808. 23:41design, I'm talking about mock-ups,
  809. 23:43landing pages, websites, things with a
  810. 23:45set structure and layout. I'm not
  811. 23:47talking about image generation because
  812. 23:48I'll be honest with you, for me [music]
  813. 23:50personally, I think Claude is probably
  814. 23:51one of the worst out there. If you want
  815. 23:53actual images, go and use something like
  816. 23:55Higgsfield or Nano Banana, or quite
  817. 23:57frankly, even ChatGPT will do you better
  818. 23:58these days. But if it's a landing page
  819. 24:00or a mock-up that you are after, this
  820. 24:02thing is great. The thing is, when it
  821. 24:03builds something, it like actually
  822. 24:05builds it. If you ask it to build a
  823. 24:06website, it's not just a picture of a
  824. 24:08website that it's going to return back.
  825. 24:10[music] It's an actual website with
  826. 24:12working buttons, working clicks, the
  827. 24:14whole lot. And look, I remember what
  828. 24:15that was like back in the day when my
  829. 24:17team had to go out and actually build
  830. 24:18these things. It would take days,
  831. 24:20sometimes even weeks. Today, Claude
  832. 24:22design can do that in just a few
  833. 24:23minutes. Now, this one falls into that
  834. 24:25camp where it really just depends on
  835. 24:27whether you were ever [music] going to
  836. 24:28use it. If you are, well, then it's
  837. 24:30going to save you a lot of time. But if
  838. 24:31you're never going to build a landing
  839. 24:32page or a website in your life, well,
  840. 24:34then look, to be honest, this might feel
  841. 24:35like a little bit of a gimmick, and I
  842. 24:37totally get that. But either way, it's
  843. 24:39already sat in your subscription, so at
  844. 24:41least I wanted to make you aware of it.
  845. 24:42All right, there we go, all 10. Every
  846. 24:44tip that I've got sitting in your pocket
  847. 24:46right now. And look, if you even apply
  848. 24:48half of these, you will be miles ahead
  849. 24:50of where most people are sitting because
  850. 24:52they are still typing questions manually
  851. 24:55into a chat window, and then just
  852. 24:56copying the answers that they get back
  853. 24:58out. You are now playing a different
  854. 25:00game at this point. And if you really
  855. 25:01think about it, that's exactly what
  856. 25:03Jarvis' purpose was. Tony Stark had
  857. 25:05Jarvis so that way everything that was
  858. 25:07not important was handled for him and he
  859. 25:10could [music] really focus on what he
  860. 25:12enjoyed doing, inventing, building. And
  861. 25:14now, congratulations because you're in
  862. 25:16the same position. You can build your
  863. 25:18own Jarvis. And to be honest, where you
  864. 25:21actually direct that free time is up to
  865. 25:23you. For some of you, you're going to
  866. 25:24use the extra free time to spend with
  867. 25:25your family. For others, you're going to
  868. 25:27spend that extra free time on a hobby
  869. 25:29that you haven't picked up in a while
  870. 25:30because you were just too busy with the
  871. 25:32monotonous boring work. And then for a
  872. 25:33lot of you, it's going to free up time
  873. 25:35for you to actually start a side hustle.
  874. 25:37And if that's you, you're thinking,
  875. 25:38"Okay, I have all this free time now
  876. 25:40because all of the boring monotonous
  877. 25:42tasks have now been handled with
  878. 25:43Claude." That's great and Claude is a
  879. 25:46really good personal assistant, as I
  880. 25:47said, but it's not really a money maker.
  881. 25:50There are other specialized tools out
  882. 25:52there that actually help put money in
  883. 25:53your pocket directly. But to be honest,
  884. 25:55that's a topic for another day. Now,
  885. 25:56before I let you go, I just want to
  886. 25:58remind you of two things. That prompt
  887. 26:00that I mentioned earlier, the one that
  888. 26:01actually gets Claude to understand
  889. 26:03everything you say from day one, I'm
  890. 26:05going to go ahead and leave that in the
  891. 26:06description. And secondly, if you want
  892. 26:08to win that MacBook, remember to leave a
  893. 26:10comment and tell me which one of these
  894. 26:1110 tips you found the most useful. I'm
  895. 26:13going to be reading through all of the
  896. 26:14comments and just like before, I will
  897. 26:16have the winner posted in the
  898. 26:18description of next week's video and I
  899. 26:20will pin it in the comments, too. With
  900. 26:22all that being said, as always, I'm
  901. 26:23watching from afar and I'm rooting for
  902. 26:25you.
