People Are Using Claude for Wild Things Now — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Number 25 of interesting use cases for
2. 0:02Claude is someone who used it to find
3. 0:03their lost phone at work because their
4. 0:05company turned off find my. So, Claude's
5. 0:08idea here was to build a Bluetooth
6. 0:09signal tracker and it created this app
7. 0:11which you can see and it's pretty cool
8. 0:13where it could show you the signal
9. 0:14strength and as you got closer the
10. 0:16higher the number goes. So, as they
11. 0:18walked around the office they watched
12. 0:19this number climb and then they ended up
13. 0:21finding it which is super cool. By the
14. 0:22way, for all of these I will leave a
15. 0:24project in the description for free on
16. 0:26how you can do all of them. Number 24 we
17. 0:28have a robot that picks locks. This is
18. 0:30honestly kind of wild. Someone built a
19. 0:323D printed machine with a few motors and
20. 0:35there's two tiny sensors that feel how
21. 0:37hard each pin pushes back. Now, Claude
22. 0:40is the brain behind this and it kind of
23. 0:41reads what the pins are doing over Wi-Fi
24. 0:44and then decides the next move live. The
25. 0:46same way a person would feel their way
26. 0:48through the locks and decide. Not that I
27. 0:50know what that is or how that would feel
28. 0:53like, but you know, this is pretty cool
29. 0:55to see Claude actually use this. The
30. 0:56person spent over 200 hours on the
31. 0:58machine itself and actually works. There
32. 1:00is a project for this one, but don't be
33. 1:02doing that. Number 23 is a bridge that
34. 1:05Claude created out of a 3D printer. If
35. 1:07you have one, great news. Someone asked
36. 1:09five AI models to design a bridge that
37. 1:11spans two feet and then they printed
38. 1:13everyone and stacked weights on them.
39. 1:15Claude held that bridge to about 130
40. 1:18pounds which I think is really cool and
41. 1:19GPT's version held 17 and a half. So, I
42. 1:22mean, who's the superior model? We'll
43. 1:23never know. And number 22, this is a
44. 1:25security related one. And it was someone
45. 1:27who plugged in their mom's iPhone into
46. 1:29their laptop and they had Claude code
47. 1:31look through the backup file. Now, it
48. 1:33found that she gave her iPad away back
49. 1:35in 2024 and then she had never signed
50. 1:37out of it. So, for two years a
51. 1:39stranger's iPad was actually getting her
52. 1:41photos, messages from the family chat,
53. 1:43which is obviously really scary. It also
54. 1:45found an app that was checking where she
55. 1:47was every 15 minutes. So, this makes me
56. 1:49want to do this project literally to
57. 1:51help my parents because who knows what
58. 1:53is on their devices. Yeah, I personally
59. 1:55love this one. I'm going to do this
60. 1:56project. Number 21 is improving your
61. 1:58internet speed. This person's Wi-Fi was
62. 2:00extremely slow, so they gave Claude a
63. 2:02photo of their router and they plugged
64. 2:04it in and then they logged in, backed
65. 2:06everything up, and found six settings
66. 2:08that were slowing it down massively.
67. 2:10Kind of like a crowded channel for an
68. 2:12old Wi-Fi mode. It showed each fix both
69. 2:14an old and a new value, and then they
70. 2:16tested the speed afterwards and it was
71. 2:17about eight times as fast, I think.
72. 2:19Pretty massive result for something like
73. 2:21Wi-Fi. Could be interesting to set up.
74. 2:23Number 20 is again connected to Wi-Fi
75. 2:25here, but it was actually seeing what
76. 2:26your provider sees. Someone went down
77. 2:28this route where they connected in their
78. 2:29router to Claude and they found
79. 2:31something a lot worse than just slow
80. 2:32Wi-Fi. Their internet provider was
81. 2:34looking at every website that they
82. 2:36looked up in plain text. So, they built
83. 2:38a free app where Claude watches their
84. 2:40network and keeps it private. It only
85. 2:42works on Mac and Windows and it runs on
86. 2:45a Claude subscription that you already
87. 2:46have, which is great so that you don't
88. 2:47have to spend money on API costs. These
89. 2:50internet providers, man, they always
90. 2:51just trying to pry out information.
91. 2:53Number 19, great for my childhood. This
92. 2:55is a Lego robot. I thought it was really
93. 2:56cool. Claude designed this whole thing
94. 2:59and checked that every one of the 1,100
95. 3:02bricks that it actually connects to and
96. 3:03then wrote a step-by-step building
97. 3:05booklet and priced every part so they
98. 3:07could actually just go ahead and order
99. 3:08it. They say Lego's for kids, but I
100. 3:10think it's pretty cool, so I'm probably
101. 3:11going to do this as well. Number 18 is a
102. 3:13dentist scan. So, someone's dentist did
103. 3:15a 3D scan of their jaw and they said
104. 3:17that you need special software to look
105. 3:19at it. It was like an 800 image file.
106. 3:21But, what they did is they plugged it
107. 3:22into Claude code and built a viewer, and
108. 3:25then one prompt later they had something
109. 3:26that was a lot nicer than what the
110. 3:28dentist was actually looking at on their
111. 3:29screen. I don't know if you've seen that
112. 3:30when you go to the dentist, but I
113. 3:32thought this was a cool way to actually
114. 3:34take some of your data and build
115. 3:35something useful. I guess from here if
116. 3:37there is open source data sets when it
117. 3:39comes to dental scans, you could plug
118. 3:40that into there and you can get Claude
119. 3:42to analyze your teeth. Who knows, it
120. 3:43might actually save you a few thousand
121. 3:45dollars if you can spot something a lot
122. 3:46earlier than perhaps even a dentist
123. 3:48could. This is not medical advice,
124. 3:50please don't sue me. Number 17 is mod
125. 3:52any game. Someone taught Claude how to
126. 3:54mod Terraria and Ages of Empire and then
127. 3:57packed everything it learned into one
128. 3:58free tool here. So, you can install it
129. 4:00and Claude code can pretty much add
130. 4:01anything that you want to this PC game.
131. 4:03I'll put a few different clips on the
132. 4:05screen right now, but it's kind of cool
133. 4:06to see all these different modded game
134. 4:08plays. I've been enjoying seeing people
135. 4:10cross two different games together, or
136. 4:12creating something that I could have
137. 4:13never even thought of. Brings you back
138. 4:15to my video game days. Number 16 is
139. 4:17about a pothole, and this is kind of a
140. 4:19funny one here. Someone had a pothole
141. 4:21outside of their office for years, and
142. 4:23everyone just complained about it. So,
143. 4:25they actually took six photos, gave it
144. 4:27to Claude, and they had it rebuild this
145. 4:29pothole in 3D and created this whole
146. 4:30animation of the amount of cost that
147. 4:33this one pothole was doing for this
148. 4:35town. Now, they did this simulation, and
149. 4:37they sent it to the local council, and
150. 4:39then 2 days later they actually had this
151. 4:41pothole fixed, which is beautiful. So,
152. 4:43it's someone who's taken a local problem
153. 4:45and then created some sort of demo for
154. 4:47it, and then actually had something
155. 4:48solved here. I think it's a cool result.
156. 4:50I think it's a fun project which
157. 4:51actually had a real-life impact, which
158. 4:53was nice. Number 15 is a tennis coach. I
159. 4:56don't know if you guys watch tennis or
160. 4:57have you ever played tennis. It is
161. 4:58expensive sport, and finding a good
162. 5:00coach is very difficult. So, one player
163. 5:02filmed themselves, as you can see here,
164. 5:05on their phone and measured every
165. 5:06stroke. And then they gave Claude the
166. 5:08numbers next to the same numbers from
167. 5:10pro players, and without being told,
168. 5:12Claude actually went ahead and found
169. 5:13their weaker side. And the thing that
170. 5:14they thought was wrong originally with
171. 5:16their forehand wasn't actually the
172. 5:17problem at all. So, it's super
173. 5:19interesting. I think this will probably
174. 5:20become bigger and bigger in sport. I
175. 5:22think sport is lagging a little bit when
176. 5:23it comes to AI implementation, but it's
177. 5:25really cool to see someone using this
178. 5:27for their own personal tennis game.
179. 5:28Yeah, check out the project in the
180. 5:30description for this one as well. Number
181. 5:3114 is a bit of a deeper one. On a
182. 5:33serious note, this is a cancer skill
183. 5:35here. Now, Peter Yang is a pretty big
184. 5:37creator in the space, and when his mom
185. 5:39got cancer, Peter shared the story
186. 5:41online, and he kept getting similar
187. 5:42responses from other families. The main
188. 5:44advice he kept getting was you have to
189. 5:46push back. You have to ask better
190. 5:48questions. You have to ask for more
191. 5:49biopsies. You have to ask for different
192. 5:50tests to be run. You have to push a lot
193. 5:52with the doctors. And on top of that,
194. 5:54there's also a lot of different doctors
195. 5:56to deal with. There's insurance, there's
196. 5:58scans, there's documents. There's a lot
197. 5:59of things that add up, and it can be
198. 6:01pretty overwhelming super fast. So,
199. 6:03Peter built a free skill that does a lot
200. 6:06of this for you, which I think is
201. 6:08amazing. You give it the reports you've
202. 6:09been given, and it creates action steps
203. 6:11and a summary in plain English that
204. 6:13explains what's actually going on and
205. 6:15what you should do next. When it does
206. 6:16need to look something up, it uses
207. 6:18trusted databases rather than just
208. 6:20pulling from random sources. So, it is
209. 6:22all backed up by actual facts. It also
210. 6:25all syncs up into a Google Doc so that
211. 6:27your whole family can look at it, and
212. 6:29it's not about really replacing the
213. 6:30doctor, but just making sure that you
214. 6:32can ask questions. If you want it, the
215. 6:34skill is called I don't know if I'm
216. 6:35allowed to swear on here, it's a company
217. 6:37page. It's called F Cancer. So,
218. 6:40look it up. It's in the description down
219. 6:41below as well. I think this is a
220. 6:43beautiful use case of using AI to
221. 6:45actually benefit the world. Taking a bit
222. 6:46of a jump again, and number 13 is using
223. 6:49Claude to take off the ads off your TV.
224. 6:51Someone got sick of their own ads. I
225. 6:52know you've been seeing this one a lot
226. 6:54with the old reverse engineering thing
227. 6:55going on, but someone also put their own
228. 6:583D apartment on their TV and cleared out
229. 7:00their operating system so it's a lot
230. 7:02faster as well. It's completely
231. 7:03unnecessary, but I want it. I want it
232. 7:05bad. Number 12 is Anatomy here, and this
233. 7:07is for my curious learners out here. So,
234. 7:09people who want to know how things work
235. 7:11on the inside. So, here is a free skill
236. 7:13called Anatomy here.
237. 7:15And what it does is you describe the
238. 7:17machine in one line, and Claude builds a
239. 7:203D kind of model of it that you can spin
240. 7:22around, pull apart with every moving
241. 7:24part here. You can do a jet engine, a
242. 7:26pressure cooker, gearbox. I've even seen
243. 7:28people do stuff for the Apple Watch.
244. 7:30Super interesting. I wish I had
245. 7:31something like this in school. It can
246. 7:33use different ways to animate this, and
247. 7:34also it does work on ideas as well, not
248. 7:37just physical things. So, you can ask
249. 7:38things like how does a website remember
250. 7:40things, and it'll be able to create an
251. 7:41animation for you. Number 11 is from
252. 7:43Anthropic itself, and it's kind of huge
253. 7:45for the whole science community. And
254. 7:46that's because every lab machine runs on
255. 7:48its own software. So, what Claude does
256. 7:51is they made it easier to make these
257. 7:53different softwares work together. They
258. 7:54created a standard. So, Claude can now
259. 7:56run microscopes, robotic arms, lasers.
260. 7:59And I love that it's actually being used
261. 8:01in real companies. Like there's a
262. 8:02company called Q Era, which is a quantum
263. 8:04computing company. I don't know if I
264. 8:06said that right. I'm sorry if I said it
265. 8:07wrong. But, they've been using it to be
266. 8:09able to track their lasers and make sure
267. 8:11that they're back on target if they
268. 8:13drift. And they've been doing it to a
269. 8:1499% success rate without a human
270. 8:16stepping in, which is beautiful. I think
271. 8:18this will be massive for the science
272. 8:19community here and be able to speed up
273. 8:21testing of different things that will
274. 8:23hopefully help a lot of people as well.
275. 8:24Number 10 is for all my car guys out
276. 8:26here. Someone plugged in a cheap reader
277. 8:28into their dad's car and they gave it to
278. 8:30Claude Code with one prompt and it
279. 8:31worked out how to talk to the car by
280. 8:33itself and it built a live dashboard of
281. 8:35everything the car knows about itself,
282. 8:37which you can see. Things like the
283. 8:38speed, the engine data, all of it on a
284. 8:40laptop in about 5 minutes. The project's
285. 8:43in the description below. Make sure you
286. 8:44surprise your mom or your dad with this
287. 8:46one. I think it's really cool. Number
288. 8:47nine, I was a little bit skeptical
289. 8:49about, but someone said they were found
290. 8:51their old iPhone in a drawer and then
291. 8:53they asked Claude Code to connect it up
292. 8:55and try and find photos that they
293. 8:56deleted years ago. Now, exactly what I
294. 8:58anticipated happened where Claude said
295. 9:00that it can't recover deleted photos,
296. 9:02especially on an iPhone, but it actually
297. 9:04recommended that you search different
298. 9:06sources where these photos might
299. 9:08actually be. That's where this person
300. 9:09remembered that they'd actually synced
301. 9:11their photos to their mom's laptop. So,
302. 9:13they dug it out of the closet and then
303. 9:14they found a backup from 2019 that
304. 9:17Claude walked them through opening and
305. 9:18they eventually got over 2,000 photos
306. 9:20back, which is awesome. There was even
307. 9:22this video of their grandfather laughing
308. 9:24in the garden, which I think is just
309. 9:26really sweet. Aw. Anyway, this is a good
310. 9:28point in the video to tell you to like
311. 9:29and subscribe and to comment down below
312. 9:31which one you like the most. I'm
313. 9:32thinking about making this a series. But
314. 9:34anyway, we'll get on to the next one.
315. 9:35The next one is a fun one and this is
316. 9:37number seven and this is Doom. Claude
317. 9:39Code has a bunch of mods now, so if
318. 9:41someone made one that drops you into a
319. 9:43game of Doom while Claude is working,
320. 9:45but I don't know how I feel about this
321. 9:46one because I think you should actually
322. 9:48be looking at your Claude sessions while
323. 9:49you're working so that you understand
324. 9:51where it's actually up to and you're
325. 9:52learning things as you go along, but
326. 9:53fair play. If you want to play Doom, you
327. 9:55can go play Doom. Number six is a table.
328. 9:57Someone found a table that they liked
329. 9:59and they had Claude turn the design into
330. 10:01a cutting file for a CNC machine. So,
331. 10:03basically they could go down to a local
332. 10:05shop that cuts wood and a lot of these
333. 10:07shops will deliver you pieces straight
334. 10:08to your door. So, it's kind of like
335. 10:10IKEA, except it's furniture that you
336. 10:12actually got from Claude or designed.
337. 10:14So, I think it's a lot of fun and
338. 10:16something that I can definitely see
339. 10:17myself doing, to be honest, cuz I love
340. 10:19assembling things and I think it's cool
341. 10:20to actually be able to source it from
342. 10:22local materials and local providers as
343. 10:24well. Number five is a bit of a quick
344. 10:26one, but it's a robot arm here and it's
345. 10:27where, I guess, a lot of different
346. 10:29elements come together cuz someone had
347. 10:30Claude design an object and then print
348. 10:32it and then drive a robot arm to take it
349. 10:35out of the printer. It's funny cuz they
350. 10:37said the hardest part here was just
351. 10:38getting the arm to open up the printer
352. 10:40lid, which I actually find really
353. 10:41relatable. If you've had to open up a
354. 10:43printer lid, it can be quite hard.
355. 10:44Number four is furnishing a new house.
356. 10:46This one's useful if you're moving
357. 10:48houses here. Someone was looking at a
358. 10:49house on Zillow and they wanted to know
359. 10:52if this furniture would actually fit
360. 10:54into a place like that. So, they filmed
361. 10:56a quick video walking around the current
362. 10:57place and then gave Claude that video
363. 11:00and the Zillow link and then Claude
364. 11:02learned every piece of furniture that
365. 11:03they own from the video and built the
366. 11:05new house in 3D and they furnished
367. 11:07actual things in there, so you can get
368. 11:08an idea of how the actual walk-through
369. 11:11would feel when the furniture is there.
370. 11:12Still probably pays to have a measuring
371. 11:14tape, just in case, but this one's a
372. 11:16cool one when you're moving places. It's
373. 11:17actually kind of how I first furnished
374. 11:19my place when I moved to the US 7-8
375. 11:21months ago. I took photos of things and
376. 11:23used Google AI Studio to be able to put
377. 11:26in images of couches and different
378. 11:28things, so I could see what it looks
379. 11:29like. But now the technology has
380. 11:30obviously advanced so quickly that you
381. 11:33can create walk-throughs now. You can
382. 11:34also use Blender for this one. Blender
383. 11:36is super useful. Number three could
384. 11:37actually help a lot of people, so I'm
385. 11:39thinking this is exciting because it is
386. 11:41about food allergies, which affects
387. 11:42about 200 million people around the
388. 11:44world. So, when you have a food allergy,
389. 11:46your body sticks basically alarm tags
390. 11:48onto certain cells and then when you eat
391. 11:50a peanut, the peanut hits the tag, the
392. 11:52alarm goes off and you have a reaction.
393. 11:54The best medicine we have right now only
394. 11:56catches those tags floating around in
395. 11:58your blood. The ones that are already
396. 11:59stuck to your cells, those stay there
397. 12:01for weeks or months, sometimes even
398. 12:03years. So, you're still allergic. So, a
399. 12:05lab called Divergence created something
400. 12:06that pulls these tags off. Think of it
401. 12:08like a tiny hand that just goes in and
402. 12:10then just like pulls it off. And this is
403. 12:12where Claude comes in. So, the scientist
404. 12:14told Claude what they wanted the hand to
405. 12:15do, and Claude drew up different designs
406. 12:17for them. It outputted around 35,000
407. 12:19designs, and then the scientist ended up
408. 12:21picking the best ones. They then made
409. 12:23them for real and tested them, and it
410. 12:25actually ended up working for about 20
411. 12:27different types of ear removed. It may
412. 12:28not sound like much, but this is
413. 12:30definitely a start in the right
414. 12:31direction when it comes to allergy
415. 12:33treatment. Number two is your own
416. 12:34Spotify. This is kind of cool. Someone
417. 12:36created a way for Alexa to play Spotify
418. 12:39with songs that they would actually
419. 12:40want, and they built it using Claude
420. 12:42code so that they could actually do
421. 12:43this. It ends up just using songs that
422. 12:45they had downloaded, and they're not
423. 12:47paying for any subscriptions anymore,
424. 12:48which is always a good thing. And number
425. 12:50one is actually an app called Broke.
426. 12:53Now, this is a reverse engineer of the
427. 12:55popular app Rocket Money. I thought that
428. 12:57it should be open source because I have
429. 12:58a bunch of friends who need help when it
430. 13:00comes to budgeting and managing their
431. 13:01money. So, I built this over a few days,
432. 13:04and you can actually plug in open-source
433. 13:05models into here, or Claude, or other
434. 13:07places, and it will create your own AI
435. 13:11finance dashboard, which is beautiful.
436. 13:12It'll also show you how to allocate your
437. 13:14money to get the most out of whatever
438. 13:16country you're in, depending on your tax
439. 13:17bracket, or your insurance, etc. So, at
440. 13:19least for me, it's been very useful,
441. 13:21especially moving to a new country. If
442. 13:22you want to check that out, I'll leave a
443. 13:23link to it in the description down below
444. 13:25as well. Hopefully, it should be out by
445. 13:26the time I release this video, otherwise
446. 13:28I will update the description so that
447. 13:29you have it. And that wraps up the list,
448. 13:31ladies and gentlemen. Remember, you can
449. 13:32go and check out everything in the
450. 13:34description below. I'm trying to leave a
451. 13:35link to every single project so you can
452. 13:37create it yourself. I love this kind of
453. 13:39thing, just seeing what people are using
454. 13:41and building so that they can actually
455. 13:42build something hands-on that's going to
456. 13:43help people. As always, leave a like,
457. 13:45subscribe, and I will see you in the
458. 13:47next one.
