I Made Fable 5 and Opus 4.8 Build an App (Same Prompt). — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00This is my dog, Charlie, and for years,
- 0:02he's walked the same block every single
- 0:04day sniffing the same smells. But that
- 0:06was before Claude's Fable Five built him
- 0:08his own iPhone app called Charlie's
- 0:11Sniffari, which by the way, is a real
- 0:13game on my phone and it takes us
- 0:15somewhere new every single day on a
- 0:17walk. Now, I used Fable Five to build
- 0:18this entire thing with just one prompt
- 0:20and it turned out better than I could
- 0:22have ever imagined. So, in this video,
- 0:24I'm going to show you why Fable Five is
- 0:25on a completely new level when it comes
- 0:27to building apps. I'll show you why the
- 0:29look of an app matters way more than you
- 0:31think even if you're not an artist. And
- 0:33in the end, I'm going to put this
- 0:34head-to-head against Opus Four Coin
- 0:35Eight so you can see the difference and
- 0:37it's not even close. Now, unfortunately,
- 0:40even with the shots, we almost lost
- 0:42Charlie as a puppy to parvo. But after
- 0:44$12,000 in emergency care and a lot of
- 0:47sleepless, worried nights, Charlie
- 0:50fought through the whole thing and he
- 0:52survived. And now he's healthy and now
- 0:54he's spoiled and he's obsessed with one
- 0:56thing in this world and that is sniffing
- 0:58everything he can on walks. So, I had an
- 1:01idea. What if I could take my favorite
- 1:03thing, which is Fable Five, and build
- 1:05him an app that turns every walk into a
- 1:07brand new adventure or a Sniffari, which
- 1:10is like a safari but the whole point is
- 1:12to find new smells and new places that
- 1:14we've never been before. But that's just
- 1:16what I asked for. What Fable Five
- 1:18actually built turned out to be so much
- 1:19better than I expected and I can't wait
- 1:21for you to see the final result. So,
- 1:23let's jump right in. So, to build this,
- 1:25we need two things. First, we need Fable
- 1:27Five. That's the model that's going to
- 1:28write this entire app for us. And if you
- 1:30didn't know, Anthropic says that Fable
- 1:32Five is the most powerful model that
- 1:34they've ever put out, which is exactly
- 1:35the whole reason why we're building this
- 1:37app with Fable Five. And the second
- 1:39thing is it's all the art that goes into
- 1:41a game like this. And that's where Higgs
- 1:43Field comes in, who I want to thank
- 1:45today for sponsoring this video and
- 1:46being an amazing partner. And these are
- 1:48the two stars of the show. There's Fable
- 1:50Five and there's Higgs Field and
- 1:51together, they do some really awesome
- 1:53things. So, let's jump right in and take
- 1:54a look at what the prompt looks like to
- 1:56kick this thing off. Now, the prompt is
- 1:58the most important piece here because
- 1:59we're going to give Fable 5 just one
- 2:00prompt and we're going to let it run all
- 2:02the way through on its own. And for a
- 2:04prompt like this, I don't want to write
- 2:05it myself. You can see how long this
- 2:07prompt actually is. So, what I do
- 2:09instead is I have Claude write the
- 2:10prompt for me and I do that in three
- 2:12steps that I call the BIP method. First
- 2:14is brain dump. I just tell Claude
- 2:16everything that I want in the app. I'm
- 2:17telling it about the game. I'm telling
- 2:19it about the walking logic, the rewards,
- 2:21the leveling up. Literally everything
- 2:23that I can think of, I'm just putting
- 2:24into Claude. And then I have Claude
- 2:26interview me and ask me questions on
- 2:27things that I hadn't thought of yet. And
- 2:29finally, it takes all that information
- 2:31and it creates a really big detailed
- 2:33prompt that I can copy and paste right
- 2:35into Fable, which is exactly what I did
- 2:37along with a couple photos of Charlie.
- 2:39Now, I did give Fable a lot of autonomy
- 2:41here, but I did tell it that I wanted
- 2:43one thing. And that is I wanted my art
- 2:44to look like voxel art. Now, if you've
- 2:46never heard of that term before, voxel
- 2:48art is basically pixel art but in 3D.
- 2:51So, everything it builds is in these
- 2:53little blocks and I just thought it
- 2:54would look really cool for this app. And
- 2:56of course, I did tell it to generate all
- 2:57of the art through Higgs Field. But for
- 2:59everything else, I told it to be
- 3:01creative. I gave it creative freedom. I
- 3:03told it to surprise me because Fable 5
- 3:05is so powerful that I don't want to be
- 3:07the director. I want Fable 5 to be the
- 3:09director here. And of course, if you
- 3:10want to try this out yourself after the
- 3:11video, the link to the prompt along with
- 3:13my entire prompt library is completely
- 3:15free in the description. Now, in Claude
- 3:18code, I did run the command {slash}
- 3:20goal. And what that's basically going to
- 3:22do is it's going to force Fable to check
- 3:23its own work against the prompt that I
- 3:25created. So, it can't tell me that it's
- 3:27completely done until everything in the
- 3:29prompt is actually built and working.
- 3:31And since apparently I'm trying to blow
- 3:33through my entire weekly usage limit as
- 3:35fast as humanly possible, I'm also going
- 3:37to take that exact prompt and those
- 3:39exact photos and run it in Opus 4.8 at
- 3:42the same time in the background. And at
- 3:43the very end, we'll put them side by
- 3:45side and you can see which one looks
- 3:46better. So, building an app like this is
- 3:48actually easier than you think. There's
- 3:50four pieces to a project that we need to
- 3:51look at here. The first piece is the
- 3:53idea and the prompt. Now, the good news
- 3:55is we just did that together, so we can
- 3:57mark that off the list. But, that prompt
- 3:58is going to drive everything else from
- 4:00here. The second piece of that project
- 4:01that we need to look at is the plan.
- 4:03Now, this is where Fable 5 really shines
- 4:05because it's going to read the entire
- 4:07prompt and think through every single
- 4:09step, every single piece of the app
- 4:11before it starts building anything.
- 4:13Anthropic says that the more complex the
- 4:15task, the better Fable 5 is compared to
- 4:17any other model that's out there. That's
- 4:19exactly why I gave it one big prompt to
- 4:21run off of. Now, what Fable 5 can't
- 4:23actually do is make the images or
- 4:25animations itself. So, what it does is
- 4:26it acts as the creative director, and
- 4:28then it needs to hand it off to a
- 4:29partner like Higgsfield. And that takes
- 4:31us to the third piece of the project,
- 4:32which is the art itself. Now, you can
- 4:34see that Fable 5 is connecting right
- 4:36into Higgsfield and creating these
- 4:38images in real time. But, any image is
- 4:40only ever as good as the prompt that it
- 4:43was given. And that's exactly where
- 4:44Fable 5 comes in because it writes the
- 4:46best prompts out there. So, instead of
- 4:47me having to micromanage it for every
- 4:49single image that's trying to create,
- 4:51Fable 5 is the creative director here.
- 4:54Now, right here is Higgsfield's website,
- 4:55and it has every leading image and video
- 4:58and voice model that's out there, and
- 5:00it's all in one place. And even though
- 5:01we did all of this inside of Cloud Code,
- 5:03I still think that this part is pretty
- 5:05cool to show you. Now, if you go over to
- 5:06my asset folder here, you're going to
- 5:08see all the images and videos that Fable
- 5:10made. Now, if we click on one, it shows
- 5:12the exact model that was used. And also
- 5:15shows the exact prompt that Fable wrote
- 5:17to create it. Now, I never had to think
- 5:19about which photo or video model to use.
- 5:21For images, Fable and Higgsfield decided
- 5:23to use Nano Banana. For the animations,
- 5:26they picked Kling. And they even used
- 5:28Sea Dance for one of the videos. Now, I
- 5:30didn't have to tell it to do any of
- 5:31this, it just knew what model to pick
- 5:33automatically. Now, one thing is really
- 5:35important to think through when you're
- 5:36creating an app, and that is every
- 5:38single image has to have the same look.
- 5:40There has to be some consistency there.
- 5:43It can't drift. And because Fable 5
- 5:45holds the context for all of these
- 5:47images throughout the whole process.
- 5:49Every image looks like it came from the
- 5:50same place. Now, the good news here is
- 5:52that I don't have to download any of
- 5:53these images from Higgsfield's website.
- 5:55Since we're using Cloud Code with the
- 5:56Higgsfield connector, all of the files
- 5:58are just being saved straight to my
- 6:00computer. Now, take a look at the files
- 6:01over here on the top right. You can see
- 6:03that every single image that has been
- 6:04created is being downloaded to my
- 6:06computer as well. Now, hey, really
- 6:07quick, if you're enjoying this, please
- 6:09do me a favor and hit subscribe and like
- 6:11this video. It really helps out the
- 6:12channel and of course, I appreciate it.
- 6:14But, okay, on to piece number four,
- 6:16which is the app itself. All right,
- 6:18we'll take a look at this. So, Cloud
- 6:19Code has built the entire app and it has
- 6:22opened up a iPhone 17 simulator right
- 6:25here in Xcode. Now, if you've never
- 6:27heard of Xcode before, this is a tool
- 6:29that the real iOS developers use to
- 6:31build real iPhone apps. Now, it is
- 6:33completely free to download on a Mac,
- 6:35but let's take a look at what it built.
- 6:36So, let's start right here on the home
- 6:37screen. Now, I love this part right here
- 6:39because Charlie's at the top and you can
- 6:41actually interact with him if you want
- 6:42to. He's sitting there, he's blinking,
- 6:45he's animated. And if you tap him, he
- 6:47does a little trick. Now, this whole
- 6:48interactive piece is a cling animation
- 6:50that Higgsfield built. It took the image
- 6:52of Charlie, it turned him into a
- 6:53character, and now you can play with him
- 6:55on the app. If you scroll down a little
- 6:56bit, you're going to see today's
- 6:58Sniffari, which is the walk of the day.
- 7:00Now, I can pick how long I want this to
- 7:01go. Now, when I pick one, it's going to
- 7:03show me the exact route that I need to
- 7:04take on the map along with the top sniff
- 7:06spots along the way. If you scroll down
- 7:08just a little bit more, you're going to
- 7:09see that there is a daily quest. Now,
- 7:12these are little goals that Charlie and
- 7:13I can do together. And if we complete
- 7:15them, we get a treasure chest, which
- 7:17just gives us some bonus points in the
- 7:19app. Now, right below that, you're going
- 7:21to see the exact percentage of the whole
- 7:22neighborhood that we've explored so far.
- 7:24Now, if I jump over to the explore tab,
- 7:26this is my full map of the neighborhood.
- 7:28Now, you can see that it's covered in
- 7:29fog, so every street that we walk down
- 7:32clears that fog away. And the whole goal
- 7:34is to uncover parts that we've never
- 7:35been to, which gives Charlie brand new
- 7:37sniffs. Now, this isn't actually my
- 7:38neighborhood because we are running on a
- 7:40simulator right now and doesn't know
- 7:42exactly where I'm at. But there is this
- 7:43little toggle button for a demo walk. So
- 7:46no GPS is needed. But once I put this on
- 7:48my actual phone, it will use my real
- 7:49GPS. Now there's so much more here, but
- 7:52it would take forever to go through
- 7:53everything. But there are little
- 7:55celebrations and animations and sound
- 7:57effects that were built in. But the
- 7:58point here is that it built a real app
- 8:00that turned out amazing. And remember,
- 8:02all of this started with just one
- 8:04prompt. Okay, two things really quick
- 8:06before we wrap this up. First, I do want
- 8:08to show you how you can set up Higgs
- 8:09Field inside of Claude yourself. And
- 8:10then I'm going to show you what the Opus
- 8:124.8 build came up with. So setting up
- 8:14Higgs Field inside of Claude is really
- 8:16easy. What you're going to do is you're
- 8:17going to go to settings. And then you're
- 8:19going to go to connectors. And then
- 8:21you're going to add a custom connector.
- 8:23You're going to name it Higgs Field. And
- 8:25then you'll paste in this MCP server
- 8:27address that I have on the screen right
- 8:28now. And of course, I'll drop this into
- 8:30the description as well if you want to
- 8:32copy and paste it. And second, remember
- 8:34I told you that we're running this exact
- 8:36same prompt through Opus 4.8 at the same
- 8:38time because I wanted to see what the
- 8:40difference looked like. So let's take a
- 8:42quick look at how it turned out. So
- 8:43Fable 5 obviously is the smarter model
- 8:45and you already saw what they came up
- 8:47with. But Opus did an okay job. It's not
- 8:49bad. But when you put them side by side,
- 8:51it's not even close to what Fable built.
- 8:53But unfortunately, Opus is missing a ton
- 8:55of features and it just doesn't have
- 8:57that same polish that Fable built for
- 8:59us. So for me, Fable is the clear winner
- 9:01here. So that's Fable 5 building our app
- 9:03Charlie's Sniffari using Higgs Field for
- 9:06all of the art. And every prompt that
- 9:08was used today is in the prompt library
- 9:10in the description for free. So go ahead
- 9:12and check that out. And of course, click
- 9:14the Higgs Field link yourself because it
- 9:16is such a cool product. And if you're
- 9:18into AI and trying to learn AI, this is
- 9:20such a staple product that you need to
- 9:22learn. So thank you for watching and I
- 9:24will see you in the next one.
