- 0:00If you are happy doing the same boring
- 0:02repetitive work every week for the rest
- 0:04of your career, well then click off
- 0:06right now because the next 30 minutes
- 0:08are for people who want out of that.
- 0:10>> you're not interested in working less,
- 0:13getting your time back, and following in
- 0:15the footsteps of Tony Stark and having
- 0:17your own personal version of Jarvis,
- 0:19well then you can click away now because
- 0:21this video probably [music] isn't for
- 0:23you. But if that does sound like
- 0:25something that you want, well then stick
- 0:27around because that is honestly where we
- 0:29are at right now with AI. Look, I'm
- 0:31actually going to admit something to
- 0:32you. I'm not the most technical guy in
- 0:34the world and I'm usually not the first
- 0:36mover to things when they first come
- 0:37out. So last year I had to have a proper
- 0:40catch-up myself when it comes to Claude
- 0:42because I definitely wasn't one of the
- 0:45early adopters. But once I did, it
- 0:47completely changed the way I worked
- 0:50day-to-day. And to be honest, the
- 0:51problem is that this thing doesn't come
- 0:53with an instruction manual. So most
- 0:54people are sitting using maybe 10% of
- 0:56what it can actually do, but still
- 0:58paying the full monthly subscription for
- 1:00it. So in today's video, I'm going to
- 1:01give you 10 tips and these are the 10
- 1:04that I think will take you from feeling
- 1:06like you're behind the curve when it
- 1:08comes to Claude all the way to being
- 1:10someone who's actually well ahead of it
- 1:12because that is what these 10 things did
- 1:14for me. Now I've actually gone ahead and
- 1:16split them into three categories based
- 1:18on how easy they are to set up and use.
- 1:20So that's going to be your beginner,
- 1:21intermediate, and advanced. And with all
- 1:24of that being said, let's get into tip
- 1:25number one, which is actually email
- 1:27choice. And this is going to seem like
- 1:28something so ridiculously
- 1:31but you would be surprised how many
- 1:32people make this mistake. [music]
- 1:33Because when you sign up to Claude,
- 1:35whatever email you use, you're stuck
- 1:37with it permanently. Unfortunately,
- 1:39Claude doesn't let you change the email
- 1:40that's [music] tied to your account, at
- 1:42least not at the time of making this
- 1:43video, and I have seen it happen to so
- 1:45many people and I actually feel really
- 1:47bad for them. Look, just like every
- 1:48other company in the world, at
- 1:50consulting.com, my business, we
- 1:51sometimes go our separate ways with
- 1:53people on our team. And my heart
- 1:55absolutely breaks for them when I find
- 1:57out that they've used their company
- 1:58email for Claude because of course
- 2:00[music] when they no longer work at the
- 2:01company they don't have access to it
- 2:03after we go our separate ways. And it
- 2:05just kind of sucks because Claude is
- 2:07literally your right hand person.
- 2:08[music] Someone who's working with you
- 2:10every single day. And as time goes on
- 2:12they're going to find out more about
- 2:13you, what you like, what you don't like,
- 2:15how you want things done. And that's
- 2:17actually happening behind the scenes
- 2:18every single time that you use it.
- 2:20You're basically training it and it gets
- 2:22more powerful as time goes on. So it
- 2:24would just be a real shame if you built
- 2:26up all of that and then lost [music] it
- 2:28overnight because you just can't log in
- 2:30anymore. And again, I know on paper this
- 2:32sounds like such a small thing.
- 2:33>> [music]
- 2:34>> It's just an email address, but if you
- 2:35lose access to that email later down the
- 2:37line, well then everything you spent
- 2:39weeks, months, and sometimes even years
- 2:41building just disappears and there's
- 2:43nothing that you can do about it. So
- 2:44please, if you're just starting out with
- 2:46Claude or you haven't made an account
- 2:47yet, just make sure to use an email that
- 2:50you know you're keeping for good. All
- 2:51right, now that we got that simple tip
- 2:53out of the way, I just mentioned to you
- 2:55that Claude gets better the more it
- 2:56knows you, which brings us directly onto
- 2:58the next tip, doing your memory setup.
- 3:01Just like most people starting their AI
- 3:02journey, I started off with ChatGPT and
- 3:05one of the biggest reasons that I didn't
- 3:06want to switch over to any other model
- 3:08is exactly what we spoke about. After
- 3:10working with chat for so long, it
- 3:13essentially became an extension of
- 3:14myself, right? It thinks how you think,
- 3:16it understands your life, your business,
- 3:18your goals, pretty much everything,
- 3:19which made walking away from that kind
- 3:21of feel like starting from zero. So I
- 3:23kind of procrastinated. I put it off for
- 3:24a long time. Okay, I just refused to
- 3:26move over to anything else. It was only
- 3:28when I found out that Claude actually
- 3:30has an inbuilt import feature that I
- 3:32finally made the switch. And maybe you
- 3:34already knew this, but if you don't,
- 3:36it's actually pretty straightforward. So
- 3:37all you're going to do is head over to
- 3:39the settings menu and then under
- 3:40capabilities you're actually going to
- 3:42see that there's an import option to
- 3:44import memory from another AI. Claude
- 3:46actually then gives you a prompt that
- 3:48you run in your old AI platform. You're
- 3:50going to copy what it gives you back and
- 3:52then you're actually going to paste it
- 3:53into Claude, and it pulls that straight
- 3:55into the memory. [music] So, that way
- 3:57you're not starting from scratch again.
- 3:59But, there's actually a small issue that
- 4:00I ran into, and you're probably going to
- 4:02run into it, too, when doing [music]
- 4:03this. It almost always over indexes for
- 4:06work-related stuff, and doesn't really
- 4:08focus as much on the personal side of
- 4:10things. [music] So, what I did was I got
- 4:11Claude to interview me directly.
- 4:13Essentially, what you're going to do is
- 4:14you're just going to prompt it to ask
- 4:15you questions based on different areas
- 4:17of your life. And from there, all you
- 4:19have to do is work through everything
- 4:21that it needs to know. It's going to ask
- 4:22you questions on your personal life,
- 4:24what you do for work, what your goals
- 4:25are. But, most importantly, it's going
- 4:27to ask you how you want to work with it.
- 4:30So, doing this for the first time is a
- 4:32little tedious, and that's why I wanted
- 4:34to give you a quick warning here. Cuz,
- 4:35look, I'll be honest, Claude actually
- 4:37comes back with a lot of questions. And
- 4:39if you were just to sit there typing
- 4:41everything out, it's going to be very,
- 4:43very time-consuming. And also, I guess a
- 4:45little bit of personal information about
- 4:46me, I hate typing. I don't know why, I'm
- 4:48just not a typer at all. So, instead of
- 4:50sitting there and typing your answers
- 4:52for hours and hours and hours, I just
- 4:54like to use the voice function inside
- 4:56Claude, and I just ramble and give it
- 4:58everything it needs. Now, if you want to
- 4:59take it a little bit further, you can
- 5:01also use voice-to-text softwares [music]
- 5:03like WhisperFlow, and they're basically
- 5:04going to do the same thing, except
- 5:06slightly more accurate. But, look,
- 5:07either way, doing this interview is one
- 5:09of the best things that I've ever done
- 5:11with Claude. And whenever I'm having
- 5:13someone in my company on ramp onto
- 5:14Claude, I get them to do the exact same
- 5:16thing. So, in the description below this
- 5:18video, I'll leave a link [music] to the
- 5:20prompt, so that way you can just run
- 5:21this interview yourself. And that
- 5:22actually brings us onto tip number
- 5:24three, which is understanding the
- 5:25different models. But, before we get
- 5:27into it, I just want to give you some
- 5:29good [music] news. You might remember in
- 5:30the last video, I actually mentioned
- 5:32that I would be giving away a brand new
- 5:34MacBook. Well, the winner is actually in
- 5:36the pinned comment below, along with
- 5:38instructions on how to actually claim
- 5:39it. And if that wasn't you, do not
- 5:41stress, because I'm doing the exact same
- 5:43thing again today. You see, I could sit
- 5:45here and give you all of the tips and
- 5:47tricks in the world, but if you haven't
- 5:49got some machinery to work off of, well
- 5:51then it doesn't really matter, does it?
- 5:52So, I want one of you to walk away from
- 5:54today's video with a brand new MacBook,
- 5:56as well as everything you're about to
- 5:57learn in the next 20 to 30 minutes. All
- 5:59you have to do is watch the rest of the
- 6:01video and leave a comment down below
- 6:03telling me which one of these 10 tips
- 6:05you found the most useful and why. And
- 6:07just like last week, I'm going to pick a
- 6:09winner and [music] leave it as a pinned
- 6:11comment in next week's video. So, make
- 6:13sure you check that out and see if you
- 6:14won. Now that we know how to get Claude
- 6:16to understand us better, let's actually
- 6:18look at a way that we can understand
- 6:19Claude a bit better. And that comes down
- 6:21to understanding the different models.
- 6:22Look, if you have millions of dollars to
- 6:24spend on tokens, well then you can just
- 6:26ignore this section, but if you don't
- 6:27want to waste money, then I recommend
- 6:28listening up. Because just like any
- 6:30other AI, using it can actually get very
- 6:32expensive. And I know this very
- 6:33intimately because at my company
- 6:34consultant.com, between internal team
- 6:37use and also licensing software for our
- 6:39clients, we are literally spending
- 6:41hundreds of thousands of dollars a month
- 6:44on tokens. That is no word of
- 6:45exaggeration. A lot of our clients get
- 6:47access to a suite of AI tools that we
- 6:49either internally developed or we
- 6:51license. So, we have a very good
- 6:52understanding of what these things cost
- 6:54day-to-day and how they fluctuate based
- 6:56on models. And as I said, it really
- 6:58depends on which model you're using.
- 7:00Claude and pretty much every other AI
- 7:02has different models that you can choose
- 7:04from depending on the task. The higher
- 7:06tier the model, the deeper the model
- 7:07thinks and [music] the more complex the
- 7:09work it's doing for you actually is. But
- 7:11the deeper it thinks and the more
- 7:12complex the task is, the more it's going
- 7:14to burn through tokens. So, we have to
- 7:16be very careful about which model we're
- 7:18actually using because sometimes we're
- 7:19spending five, sometimes even 10 times
- 7:21more on things than you need to. Now
- 7:23look, I know 99% of you aren't spending
- 7:25hundreds of thousands of dollars a month
- 7:26on tokens like we do at our business,
- 7:28but you're going to have the exact same
- 7:30problem just on a smaller scale. For
- 7:32you, it's going to mean hitting your
- 7:33usage limit quicker and then having to
- 7:35wait for it to reset. And look, I don't
- 7:36know about you, but for me personally,
- 7:38there's nothing more annoying than
- 7:39hitting a limit. Well, I guess more
- 7:40annoying is paying for extra credits,
- 7:42but that's exactly what we are trying to
- 7:44avoid with the third tip I'm giving you.
- 7:46So, let me give you a high-level of the
- 7:48different models and how they work.
- 7:49Starting with the lowest model, which is
- 7:51Haiku. So, Haiku is exactly what you
- 7:53want for something like that interview
- 7:55from the last tip I gave you. This is
- 7:56where there's going to be loads of back
- 7:57and forth, but nothing that really needs
- 7:59any deep thinking from Claude's side.
- 8:01Then, you've got Sonnet, and this should
- 8:03really be your daily driver. It's a
- 8:04decent step up from Haiku when you're
- 8:06looking into second-layer thinking and
- 8:08tasks where you need to start leaning
- 8:10into Claude's ability to actually dive a
- 8:12little deeper and analyze different
- 8:14concepts and ideas. And then, a step
- 8:16above that, you've got Opus. And Opus is
- 8:18really where you get that like you get
- 8:19that feeling that you you actually have
- 8:21like your own Jarvis, okay? When you
- 8:22experience it, it just has that like
- 8:24slightly deeper level of understanding,
- 8:26which means that this is the one you
- 8:27want to give the big stuff to, okay?
- 8:28[music] Data analysis, complicated
- 8:30workflows, pretty much anything with a
- 8:32lot of layers to it. And it's with this
- 8:34model that you really start feeling it
- 8:37when it comes to hitting your usage
- 8:38limits quickly. So, whatever you're
- 8:40[music] using it for, just make sure
- 8:41you're as thorough with your prompts as
- 8:42you can be. And then, right at the top,
- 8:45we've got Fable. Now, I'm not sure if
- 8:46you guys have been keeping up-to-date
- 8:47with what's been happening in the world,
- 8:49but there was this whole fiasco between
- 8:51Anthropic and the US government not too
- 8:53long ago. I'm not going to get into all
- 8:54of it here, but if you want to, I'm sure
- 8:56you can ask Claude. But basically, the
- 8:57end result of it was that they had to
- 8:59suspend access to it entirely, and it
- 9:01only got restored a few weeks ago. So, I
- 9:02haven't really had that much time to sit
- 9:04down and dive properly into it. But if
- 9:06Opus gives you a taste of what it's like
- 9:08to have your own Jarvis in real life,
- 9:10then look, I can't imagine what this
- 9:11thing is going to be capable of. Now,
- 9:13the way I want you to think about all of
- 9:15this is like a team, right? Look, you
- 9:17wouldn't take your most senior guy, the
- 9:20top person at the company, and have him
- 9:22sitting there answering generic emails
- 9:23all day. Quite frankly, that's a waste
- 9:25of his skill set, and it's a waste of
- 9:27your money. You give him the work that
- 9:28no one else can handle, and everything
- 9:31else goes to the rest of the team. And
- 9:32that's exactly how you should be
- 9:33treating these [music] models. Keep the
- 9:35smaller stuff for Haiku and Sonnet, and
- 9:37then the bigger stuff for Opus and
- 9:39Fable. And also, one important tip
- 9:41because I've had this issue a lot when I
- 9:43was first starting out. There's actually
- 9:44a feature inside of Claude called
- 9:46research mode. And this isn't a model
- 9:48per se, instead it's something you're
- 9:49going to toggle on or off within the
- 9:51model itself. Basically, what it does is
- 9:52it goes out, it's going to scour the
- 9:54web, it's going to pull as many
- 9:55resources as humanly possible, and then
- 9:57it's going to build all of that into a
- 9:59proper structured report [music] on
- 10:01whatever you asked it. Is it super
- 10:03useful? Yes. Does it also eat through
- 10:06your usage faster than almost anything
- 10:08else? Also, yes. So, if you are planning
- 10:10on using it just like Opus, be as
- 10:12specific as possible and tell it exactly
- 10:15what you want covered. Otherwise, you're
- 10:16going to be burning through a big chunk
- 10:18of your usage limit on something that
- 10:20quite frankly you don't need for most
- 10:21tasks. All right, so at this point, you
- 10:23know how to use Claude without burning
- 10:24through your usage. Now, I want you to
- 10:26know how to stop burning your time when
- 10:29working with Claude. And that's where
- 10:30tip four comes in, using skills. A skill
- 10:32is different from a memory. Memory is
- 10:34Claude learning about you over time. A
- 10:36skill [music] is a fixed set of
- 10:38instructions for one specific job that
- 10:41you're going to build once, and it runs
- 10:42the same way every single time. Look,
- 10:44I'm all about efficiency because doing
- 10:46monotonous work doesn't benefit anyone.
- 10:48If you're building a business and
- 10:49sitting there doing the same admin task
- 10:51every week isn't making you a single
- 10:53dollar. If you're working for a company,
- 10:55it's not making you a more valuable part
- 10:57of the team either, right? No one has
- 10:59ever been promoted for formatting the
- 11:01same spreadsheet the same way for the
- 11:03ninth week in a row. Anything
- 11:04monotonous, anything that you are
- 11:06repeating over and over, that should be
- 11:08automated, full stop. So, what are some
- 11:10of the things that you could turn into
- 11:12skills? Let's say you've got a weekly
- 11:13report that you write up for your
- 11:15manager. It is the same format every
- 11:17single time, the same structure, the
- 11:18same sections. Well, then, that's a
- 11:21skill. Maybe you often post on LinkedIn
- 11:23and you follow the [music] same
- 11:24structure every time. Congratulations,
- 11:26that's a skill. Or, you take your
- 11:28meeting [music] notes and you turn them
- 11:29into action items every week. That's a
- 11:31skill. And to build these, it is super
- 11:33straightforward. Once you've locked in
- 11:35the process for whatever it is that
- 11:36you're going to work on, you just tell
- 11:37Claude to go ahead and turn that into a
- 11:39skill. That's pretty much all there is
- 11:40to it. And honestly, if that's too much
- 11:42effort for you, you can actually go
- 11:43ahead and grab other people's skills
- 11:45that they've already pre-built. I guess
- 11:47just like everything in life, there is a
- 11:48whole community of people making these
- 11:51and sharing them on sites like Skill MP.
- 11:54There is literally thousands of them.
- 11:55Whether it's code reviewing skill, if
- 11:57you're doing the same sort of
- 11:58development task, or there's a
- 11:59literature review skill if you're in
- 12:01university. Look, the odds are is that
- 12:03there is someone out there who has
- 12:04already created it for you. And to get
- 12:07it into your Claude, all you're going to
- 12:08do is download the file, you're going to
- 12:09head over to your settings, and then
- 12:11you're just going to upload it. And it's
- 12:12really when you start skill stacking for
- 12:14all of just your annoying, monotonous,
- 12:16day-to-day stuff that you feel like
- 12:17you're closer to having your own
- 12:19personal Jarvis. Now, the last of our
- 12:21beginner tips pretty much goes against
- 12:22what everyone else says online. And
- 12:24that's tip number five, which is avoid
- 12:26projects. Personally, I hate them. And
- 12:28for me, it really comes down to
- 12:29something we talked about earlier. You
- 12:30see, over time, the more you work with
- 12:32Claude, the better it gets. But at the
- 12:34same time, you also build up a serious
- 12:37amount of chats. And at some point, it
- 12:39gets a little difficult to keep track of
- 12:41what you're doing. So, when I first
- 12:42started using Claude, I was like, okay,
- 12:43cool, simple. I'm just going to
- 12:44categorize them all into one project.
- 12:47I'm going to put them all in their own
- 12:49neat little box. But then, I ran into
- 12:51something that Claude doesn't really
- 12:52make very clear from the start, which is
- 12:55that a project has its own separate
- 12:57memory. And whatever is in that project
- 12:59is actually cut off and basically like
- 13:01sealed off from everything else. So,
- 13:03let's say you sit down in a normal chat
- 13:05and you nail down your brand identity,
- 13:06[music]
- 13:07your tone, your positioning, how you
- 13:09write, who you're speaking to. That's
- 13:10the kind of thing that touches every
- 13:12single thing you do in Claude, right?
- 13:14But then, if you go and work inside of a
- 13:15project, you can't see any of that. It's
- 13:18like Claude has never met you. And by
- 13:19the way, it works the other way, too.
- 13:21Whatever you build inside of one project
- 13:22actually doesn't carry over to another
- 13:24one, or to your general chats. It only
- 13:26ever searches within itself. So, you're
- 13:28either sitting there copying things
- 13:30across yourself or you're re-explaining
- 13:32yourself each time. And that's not
- 13:34particularly efficient, is it? And look,
- 13:35if you want to keep everything
- 13:36work-related in one project and
- 13:38everything personal in a personal
- 13:40project, I mean, look, that's fine. I
- 13:41get it. But I wouldn't go dividing
- 13:43things up any more than that. Because
- 13:44look, you actually might not realize
- 13:46that this has been going on and I just
- 13:48don't want you to make the same mistake
- 13:49that I did. I personally made the
- 13:50mistake of thinking that a project is
- 13:52just this neat little folder to keep
- 13:54things tidy. But unfortunately, it's
- 13:55not. And look, if you've already started
- 13:57using projects, [music] please don't
- 13:58stress. You can actually toggle any chat
- 14:00in or out of a project whenever you want
- 14:03and actually will just go straight back
- 14:04into your regular chats. So, with all of
- 14:06that being said, that is the beginner
- 14:08section done. Most of that, once you sit
- 14:10down and do it, is pretty simple. Now,
- 14:12we're going to step up a bit into the
- 14:13intermediate tips. So, let's start off
- 14:15by connecting your apps to Claude. You
- 14:17see, there's a whole bunch of options in
- 14:19here
- 14:20>> [music]
- 14:20>> and I'll be honest, I don't use most of
- 14:21them. You're just going to have to go
- 14:23through the list and see what makes
- 14:24sense for you. But if there are two that
- 14:26I would tell you to go and do right now,
- 14:28it's connecting your Gmail and your
- 14:29calendar. You're actually going to find
- 14:31them both under the connector setup
- 14:32within your settings. And let me explain
- 14:34why I think this is important. I have
- 14:35zero doubts that every single person
- 14:37watching this, at some point in their
- 14:39career, will end up hiring a personal
- 14:40assistant to make their life easier. And
- 14:42when you do get there, I can honestly
- 14:44say that it is by far one of the best
- 14:46ways to spend your money. But until that
- 14:48day comes, you're probably not going to
- 14:50want to spend 50, 100, even 200 grand a
- 14:52year on a personal assistant. So, this
- 14:54is your first step in that direction.
- 14:56Because once you actually connect your
- 14:57Gmail, Claude can go through everything
- 14:59that's already sitting in there and
- 15:01start drafting your replies for you. So,
- 15:03instead of sitting there for an hour
- 15:05every morning working through your inbox
- 15:08one by one, you could just have Claude
- 15:10front-load all of that for you as soon
- 15:12as you sit down and start your day. Oh,
- 15:14and by the way, it only pulls from your
- 15:16inbox when you ask it to. It's not like
- 15:18sitting in the background just spying on
- 15:19your emails. Now, the only part that it
- 15:21doesn't do on its own is send the
- 15:23emails. It can only draft them for you,
- 15:25which [music] in my opinion is
- 15:27definitely a great thing. AI has made
- 15:29big moves over the last few years, but
- 15:31it still gets things wrong sometimes.
- 15:32So, I think it's important that you
- 15:34proofread every email [music] and then
- 15:35send it yourself. Maybe in a couple
- 15:37years this will be a different
- 15:38conversation, but for now that's the
- 15:40best way to do it. And then you've got
- 15:41your calendar. And honestly, this one's
- 15:43super useful. But, just like a personal
- 15:45assistant, it needs to know exactly what
- 15:47you've got going on and when. Otherwise,
- 15:49it can't really plan around it properly.
- 15:51So, if the only thing that's on there
- 15:52right now is a handful of work meetings,
- 15:54it's not going to get this right. Once
- 15:56you've gone ahead and filled in your
- 15:57calendar properly, Claude can take a
- 15:59look at your week and tell you exactly
- 16:00where your gaps are. Let's say you need
- 16:02to fit in a work block or find a time
- 16:04that makes the most sense for you to go
- 16:05to the gym. Or let's say even just
- 16:07figure out like when makes the most
- 16:08sense to take some time off and see your
- 16:10family. Just tell it and it'll find a
- 16:12good spot for it. And until you get to
- 16:13the point of having your own personal
- 16:15assistant, this really gets you 80% of
- 16:17the way there for a fraction of the
- 16:19price. So, [music]
- 16:20that is how you get Claude working with
- 16:22your apps. But, everything we've covered
- 16:23up until this point has Claude sitting
- 16:25inside a chat window somewhere [music]
- 16:27waiting for you to come to it. But, what
- 16:29happens when you want it to help with
- 16:30something that doesn't really work
- 16:32within a chat window? That is where tip
- 16:33number seven comes in, which is the
- 16:35Chrome extension. All you have to do is
- 16:37download it from the Chrome Store,
- 16:38install it, and then sign in. And that's
- 16:40pretty much all there is to it. Now,
- 16:42once you've got this running, Claude can
- 16:43actually work inside whatever page
- 16:45you've got open in front of you. It can
- 16:47read the page, it can click things, it
- 16:49can actually fill stuff in, move between
- 16:51tabs. And the way I want you to think
- 16:52about it is kind of like bringing on a
- 16:54new hire, because you are the senior guy
- 16:56here. You've got a list of things that
- 16:58need done today, and a lot of them are
- 16:59pretty mundane and boring. They just
- 17:01need to get done, so you hand a couple
- 17:03of things off and you get on with the
- 17:04stuff that actually needs you. The new
- 17:06hire will go off and do the mundane
- 17:08work. And then every now and then he's
- 17:09going to come back and check something
- 17:11with you before he commits, which is
- 17:12exactly what you would want from someone
- 17:14who's been newly hired. But, you are not
- 17:16doing the task anymore. You are
- 17:18assigning it to someone else. While your
- 17:20head is down focused on the bigger
- 17:21tasks, Claude is in the background doing
- 17:23the grunt work for you. Let's say you're
- 17:25buying something and there's four
- 17:26different sites selling the same thing.
- 17:28You don't want to sit there reading 300
- 17:29reviews to work out which one's the
- 17:31best. So, it's going to go ahead and do
- 17:32that for you. Now, look, is this fully
- 17:34autonomous? No, of course not. You're
- 17:36still involved. Anytime it's about to do
- 17:37something that changes something on the
- 17:39page, it stops and it asks you first.
- 17:41Once again, for me, this is actually a
- 17:42good thing. I trust AI, but I don't
- 17:44trust it that much to work autonomously
- 17:46and like not get my approval. So, I also
- 17:48think it's important that if you're
- 17:49going to try this before you start a
- 17:51session, just go ahead and close
- 17:53whatever you don't want it near. Let's
- 17:54say your banking stuff. Let's say
- 17:56personal stuff. Whatever else you would
- 17:57rather it not touch. And also, I think
- 17:59it's good for you to test it on
- 18:00something low stakes first. So, that way
- 18:03you get comfortable with it, you get a
- 18:04feel for it, and then you can move on to
- 18:06more important tasks. All right, so that
- 18:08is the intermediate done. Now, let's
- 18:10move on to the last three. And these
- 18:11ones might feel a little bit
- 18:12uncomfortable for you. You might feel a
- 18:14little bit out of your depth at first,
- 18:15but I promise you the payoff is much
- 18:17bigger than anything else we've covered
- 18:18so far. So, let's go ahead and start
- 18:20with Co-work. Now, remember that new
- 18:22hire that we spoke about in the last
- 18:24tip, the one that you're handing off all
- 18:26the mundane stuff to, who keeps coming
- 18:27back to check every little [music] thing
- 18:29before they actually execute it? Well,
- 18:31this same person has now been working
- 18:33with you for 6 months, okay? He knows
- 18:35how you work now. He's earned a bit of
- 18:36trust. So, there's no need to sort of
- 18:38stand over your shoulder anymore.
- 18:39Instead, you're going to tell him what
- 18:41needs to be done. He comes back with how
- 18:42he's going to do it, and once you have
- 18:44given him the nod, he goes off and gets
- 18:46the whole thing done. That's essentially
- 18:48what Co-work is, and unlike the Chrome
- 18:50extension, this works with your whole
- 18:52computer, not just Chrome. You're
- 18:53basically going to tell it which folders
- 18:55it's allowed into, and from there, it's
- 18:57going to read what's in there. It's
- 18:58actually going to edit things. It's
- 18:59going to make new files, and pretty much
- 19:01do anything it needs to do to get the
- 19:02job done. So, look, let me show you a
- 19:04few examples. I can guarantee that I'm
- 19:05not the only one who has a downloads
- 19:07folder that's an absolute show. I'm
- 19:09sure there's many of you that are in the
- 19:10same position as me. You've got
- 19:12screenshots from 2 years ago, PDFs you
- 19:14open one, six copies of the same photo,
- 19:17files that you called final final final
- 19:19version three. Well, you can just point
- 19:20co-work at it and tell it to go through
- 19:22the entire thing and sort it out. And it
- 19:24will come back and tell you how it's
- 19:26planning to do that. And the second you
- 19:27say sounds good, it will have it sorted
- 19:30in a couple of minutes. But look, this
- 19:31doesn't just apply for your folders.
- 19:33Because the other thing that co-work
- 19:34does is actually schedule tasks. So, a
- 19:36few weeks back I actually put out a
- 19:37video where I talked about how the best
- 19:39way to get rich in your 20s is this
- 19:41concept of skill stacking. Now, pretty
- 19:43much the exact same principle applies
- 19:44here. Only now you're stacking Claude's
- 19:46skill instead of your own. Because
- 19:48co-work can use pretty much everything
- 19:50we've covered up until this point. The
- 19:52memory, the skills, the connected apps,
- 19:54all of it. For example, I like to start
- 19:55my day with the same three things.
- 19:57First, I want a summary of what I've
- 19:58done the previous day and where I left
- 20:00everything off. Second, I want to know
- 20:02what came into my inbox and have that
- 20:04categorized for me. And finally, I want
- 20:06to know what my upcoming day's tasks
- 20:08actually looks like. So, that way by the
- 20:09time I'm sitting down with my coffee,
- 20:10all of that has already been done and
- 20:12waiting for me. And I didn't have to
- 20:14touch a thing. And remember what I said
- 20:16earlier about how Claude can get really
- 20:18close to being your own personal Jarvis?
- 20:20Well, at this point, we are arguably
- 20:22there. Think about it. Jarvis wasn't
- 20:24sitting around waiting for Tony to come
- 20:26and just ask him a question. I mean,
- 20:27sure he was there when it was needed,
- 20:29but when he wasn't, he was running the
- 20:31house and handling things for Tony
- 20:33before he was even awake. The point I'm
- 20:35trying to make here is that if you spend
- 20:37some time setting things up properly,
- 20:39Claude can be working for you while you
- 20:41sleep. Now, there's also something in
- 20:42there called dispatch. And this helps me
- 20:44a lot because I go through phases where
- 20:47I'm outside the house more than I'm in
- 20:48it. So, basically what you're going to
- 20:50do is you're going to pair your phone to
- 20:51your computer, you're going to scan a QR
- 20:53code, and that's pretty much it. From
- 20:55there, you can actually send co-work a
- 20:56task straight from your computer. Now,
- 20:59on the surface, I know that maybe this
- 21:00might look a little gimmicky, but
- 21:02honestly, it's come in handy many times
- 21:04when I'm halfway to a meeting or let's
- 21:05say to dinner, and I remember there's
- 21:07something I have to do on my computer.
- 21:08All right, look, so far we have given
- 21:10Claude your browser, then we gave you
- 21:12your computer and files. Now, we're
- 21:14actually going to allow it to build
- 21:15things from scratch, and that is tip
- 21:17number nine, using Claude code. Now, I
- 21:20know that the name puts people off, and
- 21:21I get it. You hear code, and you assume
- 21:23[music] it's a developer thing that's
- 21:25got nothing to do with you. And I can
- 21:26tell you it's not. You describe what you
- 21:29want in plain English, and then it goes
- 21:31and writes the software behind it, and
- 21:33then tests it. It can even fix things
- 21:35when something breaks. Setting it up
- 21:36really isn't that complicated. You just
- 21:38download Claude desktop, and if you're
- 21:40already using Co-work, like we just
- 21:42mentioned, well, then you've already got
- 21:43the app on your computer. Either way,
- 21:45there's a code tab sitting right there.
- 21:47You don't have to work with a terminal
- 21:48or a dev environment or any of the other
- 21:51stuff that I hear the developers on my
- 21:53team talking about that quite frankly I
- 21:55don't really understand that much. Now,
- 21:56if you are into that kind of thing, the
- 21:58option is there for you to go that
- 22:00route, too, but quite frankly, you don't
- 22:01need to. So, let me give you a
- 22:03real-world example of what you can do
- 22:05here without a single bit of coding
- 22:08experience. So, our chief product
- 22:09officer at consultant.com, he is a
- 22:12massive runner. He loves his marathons
- 22:14and all of the training stuff that goes
- 22:16into it. And basically, what he did was
- 22:17instead of using one of the existing
- 22:19running apps, he actually just went out
- 22:21and built his own. It tracks his mileage
- 22:23and knows what he's training for, and it
- 22:24gives him workout plans based on where
- 22:26he is currently at. And because he built
- 22:28it himself, it does exactly what he
- 22:30needs it to do. He did not write a
- 22:32single line of code, not one. [music]
- 22:35And it makes sense, right? This is the
- 22:36guy who runs the product side of the
- 22:38company, not the engineering side. It's
- 22:40cool because he did not have to go out
- 22:41and find an app that was close enough to
- 22:44what he wanted, and then just live with
- 22:46the parts that annoyed him. He got the
- 22:48exact thing that he wanted, and it cost
- 22:50him nothing, minus his Claude
- 22:51subscription. And you can go out and do
- 22:53the exact [music] same thing, which I
- 22:55think is pretty cool. Look, if you told
- 22:56me 5 years ago that someone with a no
- 22:58developer background could build a
- 23:00proper functioning app in less than a
- 23:02day, I would have called So,
- 23:04whether it's a hobby that you want to
- 23:06track, a [music] side project that
- 23:07you're working on, or something that you
- 23:09have been doing manually in a
- 23:11spreadsheet for years [music]
- 23:12because there was never a tool for it,
- 23:14well, congratulations, there is no
- 23:16reason for that anymore. You can just
- 23:18build it yourself. All right, so we just
- 23:19took the developer out of the equation.
- 23:21Now, let's do the same thing with your
- 23:23designer. And that is tip number 10, use
- 23:26Claude design. Now, this is actually one
- 23:28of the more recent additions. I've
- 23:30played around with it a bit myself, and
- 23:31the people on my design team tell me
- 23:33it's pretty good. And look, if they say
- 23:35that, especially technically cuz their
- 23:37jobs could be on the line, I trust
- 23:38[music] them completely. Now, just so
- 23:39there's no confusion here, when I say
- 23:41design, I'm talking about mock-ups,
- 23:43landing pages, websites, things with a
- 23:45set structure and layout. I'm not
- 23:47talking about image generation because
- 23:48I'll be honest with you, for me [music]
- 23:50personally, I think Claude is probably
- 23:51one of the worst out there. If you want
- 23:53actual images, go and use something like
- 23:55Higgsfield or Nano Banana, or quite
- 23:57frankly, even ChatGPT will do you better
- 23:58these days. But if it's a landing page
- 24:00or a mock-up that you are after, this
- 24:02thing is great. The thing is, when it
- 24:03builds something, it like actually
- 24:05builds it. If you ask it to build a
- 24:06website, it's not just a picture of a
- 24:08website that it's going to return back.
- 24:10[music] It's an actual website with
- 24:12working buttons, working clicks, the
- 24:14whole lot. And look, I remember what
- 24:15that was like back in the day when my
- 24:17team had to go out and actually build
- 24:18these things. It would take days,
- 24:20sometimes even weeks. Today, Claude
- 24:22design can do that in just a few
- 24:23minutes. Now, this one falls into that
- 24:25camp where it really just depends on
- 24:27whether you were ever [music] going to
- 24:28use it. If you are, well, then it's
- 24:30going to save you a lot of time. But if
- 24:31you're never going to build a landing
- 24:32page or a website in your life, well,
- 24:34then look, to be honest, this might feel
- 24:35like a little bit of a gimmick, and I
- 24:37totally get that. But either way, it's
- 24:39already sat in your subscription, so at
- 24:41least I wanted to make you aware of it.
- 24:42All right, there we go, all 10. Every
- 24:44tip that I've got sitting in your pocket
- 24:46right now. And look, if you even apply
- 24:48half of these, you will be miles ahead
- 24:50of where most people are sitting because
- 24:52they are still typing questions manually
- 24:55into a chat window, and then just
- 24:56copying the answers that they get back
- 24:58out. You are now playing a different
- 25:00game at this point. And if you really
- 25:01think about it, that's exactly what
- 25:03Jarvis' purpose was. Tony Stark had
- 25:05Jarvis so that way everything that was
- 25:07not important was handled for him and he
- 25:10could [music] really focus on what he
- 25:12enjoyed doing, inventing, building. And
- 25:14now, congratulations because you're in
- 25:16the same position. You can build your
- 25:18own Jarvis. And to be honest, where you
- 25:21actually direct that free time is up to
- 25:23you. For some of you, you're going to
- 25:24use the extra free time to spend with
- 25:25your family. For others, you're going to
- 25:27spend that extra free time on a hobby
- 25:29that you haven't picked up in a while
- 25:30because you were just too busy with the
- 25:32monotonous boring work. And then for a
- 25:33lot of you, it's going to free up time
- 25:35for you to actually start a side hustle.
- 25:37And if that's you, you're thinking,
- 25:38"Okay, I have all this free time now
- 25:40because all of the boring monotonous
- 25:42tasks have now been handled with
- 25:43Claude." That's great and Claude is a
- 25:46really good personal assistant, as I
- 25:47said, but it's not really a money maker.
- 25:50There are other specialized tools out
- 25:52there that actually help put money in
- 25:53your pocket directly. But to be honest,
- 25:55that's a topic for another day. Now,
- 25:56before I let you go, I just want to
- 25:58remind you of two things. That prompt
- 26:00that I mentioned earlier, the one that
- 26:01actually gets Claude to understand
- 26:03everything you say from day one, I'm
- 26:05going to go ahead and leave that in the
- 26:06description. And secondly, if you want
- 26:08to win that MacBook, remember to leave a
- 26:10comment and tell me which one of these
- 26:1110 tips you found the most useful. I'm
- 26:13going to be reading through all of the
- 26:14comments and just like before, I will
- 26:16have the winner posted in the
- 26:18description of next week's video and I
- 26:20will pin it in the comments, too. With
- 26:22all that being said, as always, I'm
- 26:23watching from afar and I'm rooting for
- 26:25you.
