1. 0:00This is Nick. Nick is the co-founder of
2. 0:02Orgo and they build cloud desktop
3. 0:04computers for you that you can give to
4. 0:06your agent so it can run your life and
5. 0:09business for you. And one of the things
6. 0:12that you're going to learn in this
7. 0:12episode is how easy it is to actually
8. 0:15use these agents. This complicated tool
9. 0:17stack, it overwhelms a lot of people and
10. 0:19what we're going to show you in this
11. 0:20video is it is so much easier than you
12. 0:23think to set this stuff up. So we're
13. 0:24going to break it down really simple,
14. 0:26step-by-step, tell you exactly what to
15. 0:28do so that you can get started in the
16. 0:30most easy and frictionless way possible.
17. 0:34Nick, how's it going? Uh do you want to
18. 0:36tell people who you are and what people
19. 0:39are going to learn if they stick around
20. 0:40until the end of this episode?
21. 0:42>> Yeah, so I'm the co-founder of Orgo. We
22. 0:45give your agent a computer and really I
23. 0:48want to teach everybody how they can use
24. 0:50agents like Hermes, Open Clock, Rockbot,
25. 0:52any tools you're using today, Codex. How
26. 0:54can you use that to get you more
27. 0:56customers and how can you use it to make
28. 0:58you more money? There's really only two
29. 0:59ways you can grow your business is get
30. 1:01more customers or charge them more
31. 1:02money. So we'll kind of go through both
32. 1:04of these use cases and how we can use AI
33. 1:06and how maybe where not to use AI and
34. 1:08we'll kind of find our way through that.
35. 1:09So
36. 1:10>> Love it. I mean this is basically what
37. 1:12every founder and CMO and marketer wants
38. 1:15to know right now which is just like
39. 1:17okay, there's all these agents. What is
40. 1:18a specific way that I can use these AI
41. 1:21agents to actually make more money and
42. 1:23so let's let's kick it off.
43. 1:25>> I'm going to fig jam here and I'm going
44. 1:27to just do this live. So like our goal
45. 1:29is how to make more money with existing
46. 1:31customers or how to get new customers,
47. 1:35right? And so essentially I really kind
48. 1:37of like to break this down into two
49. 1:40categories really. One is okay, A
50. 1:43content. This is how you can get inbound
51. 1:46customers. I know that there's a few
52. 1:48different versions of content. One of
53. 1:50them being like AEO or SEO, right? If
54. 1:53you're writing like blog post kind of
55. 1:55content or what what's your favorite
56. 1:57style of content for this sort of
57. 1:59category cuz I know this is kind of your
58. 2:00your thing really.
59. 2:01>> The the most important pages that people
60. 2:03should have and should just create at
61. 2:07the beginning of their AI journey is
62. 2:09they should have versus pages. So taking
63. 2:11their top five competitors, especially
64. 2:13if they're well-known competitors that
65. 2:14have search volume, and creating versus
66. 2:16pages. So this might be like Beehiiv
67. 2:19versus Kit as an example.
68. 2:21And then you also want to have best of
69. 2:23pages. So best product category for XYZ
70. 2:27use case. You can just call that like
71. 2:28best or best of. And then those are we
72. 2:31can even just stop there.
73. 2:33>> This is great. Yeah, so like versus
74. 2:35pages. So yeah, like Beehiiv versus Kit.
75. 2:37Or obviously if you're building, you
76. 2:39know, for for us it's like if we're
77. 2:40building a cloud computer for an agent,
78. 2:42it's like why would I use Hermes and
79. 2:44Orgo versus just using Grok Bot maybe?
80. 2:47Like these kinds of pages. And then also
81. 2:49best of use cases. So these are like how
82. 2:51to use maybe Codex for video editing. Is
83. 2:55that like a good example of that, right?
84. 2:56>> Yeah, it might be like best AI agent for
85. 2:59video editing.
86. 3:00>> Mhm, got it. Okay, got it. Nice. And
87. 3:03this works really well for like blog
88. 3:05style content, but also I'm assuming
89. 3:07this also works really well for like
90. 3:09YouTube videos in general, right?
91. 3:11>> It's so elite right now for YouTube
92. 3:13videos and then also LinkedIn Pulse
93. 3:14articles. Especially the best of pages.
94. 3:18So as an example, we have a client where
95. 3:20we did a best of page and it was again
96. 3:22it was like best agency for XYZ use
97. 3:26case. And we did a page on their
98. 3:27website, like a blog style page. And
99. 3:30then we just rewrote it, published it as
100. 3:31a LinkedIn Pulse article. That ranked in
101. 3:33less than 24 hours. And then you also
102. 3:36can rewrite that as a YouTube video. You
103. 3:38create this one asset and you can create
104. 3:40multiple streams of value from it.
105. 3:43>> Beautiful, beautiful. So I'm going to
106. 3:45show like best of use cases here. You
107. 3:47could do LinkedIn Pulse articles. Is
108. 3:48that right? Is that what it's called?
109. 3:49LinkedIn Pulse articles?
110. 3:50>> Nice. I don't know why, but yeah, it is.
111. 3:53>> And what is what is that? Cuz I actually
112. 3:54I need to get better at at at using
113. 3:56LinkedIn. But what is a pulse article?
114. 3:58>> I don't know why they call it pulse.
115. 3:59It's like it's literally just LinkedIn
116. 4:02article. It's like their version of like
117. 4:03an X article. I think pulse is just a
118. 4:05name that they came up with. They
119. 4:06thought it sounded cool. I don't think
120. 4:07it's deeper than that.
121. 4:09>> Okay. And then and then and then you can
122. 4:11do it obviously you can repurpose into a
123. 4:13YouTube video. Like maybe if it does
124. 4:14really good on the LinkedIn pulse
125. 4:16article, you can turn it into, you know,
126. 4:18a long-form YouTube video, something
127. 4:19like that.
128. 4:20>> You can and the other thing by the way
129. 4:21that people don't realize is YouTube for
130. 4:23AI overviews to show up in AI overviews,
131. 4:26it's the most cited website on Earth
132. 4:27right now. So YouTube is like really
133. 4:29overpowered right now. So yeah, having
134. 4:32blog article goes to LinkedIn article,
135. 4:34goes to YouTube video, super valuable
136. 4:37flow if you're trying to get clients.
137. 4:38>> This right here feels like a flywheel.
138. 4:41Like you can just dish out, especially
139. 4:44like the volume. If you can just do a
140. 4:46lot of volume of AEO SEO best of use
141. 4:48cases for versus pages. Like this gives
142. 4:51you a a lot of data of like, okay, I
143. 4:54don't think it's like as high effort as
144. 4:56making a high production YouTube video.
145. 4:57So you can do a lot more of it and of
146. 4:59the ones that do really well, then you
147. 5:01can turn those outperforming outliers
148. 5:04into LinkedIn pulse articles and then
149. 5:06you can turn them into YouTube videos.
150. 5:07So like it's almost like a discovery
151. 5:09mechanism for how you can, you know,
152. 5:11target what YouTube videos to make and
153. 5:12what content to make.
154. 5:13>> 100%. That's it.
155. 5:15>> it. I love it. Okay, so and I want to
156. 5:17just mention one thing about content.
157. 5:18The reason I love content so much is
158. 5:20because it's like I don't know if you've
159. 5:22ever gone on a sales call. Like no
160. 5:23matter what it is you're selling, if
161. 5:25people know who you are and they know
162. 5:27what your product is and they know what
163. 5:29you have to sell already before you even
164. 5:31get on a call, like they're already
165. 5:33warm. Like your job is very easy at that
166. 5:35point. So I love content for that reason
167. 5:37cuz it's so warm and it creates trust.
168. 5:40>> Your goal is should be that you your
169. 5:42content is so good that you turn your
170. 5:44sales team into just like order takers
171. 5:46is what I've heard people where they're
172. 5:47they're kind of just like a server like
173. 5:49just taking down all right, what do you
174. 5:51want? And I actually heard there's a
175. 5:52really good framing on this thing is by
176. 5:54George Mack who's talks about like 1 g
177. 5:58of sales framing of just like framing
178. 6:01and marketing before they get on the
179. 6:02call is like worth more than a kilogram
180. 6:05of sales skills. So if you really master
181. 6:08this and you get people coming on to
182. 6:09your calls warm, it's such a higher
183. 6:11leverage activity than trying to master
184. 6:14sales and have the right tonality on
185. 6:16sales calls and all this other stuff.
186. 6:18>> Exactly. Like I don't know. It's like
187. 6:21you could follow every kind of rule
188. 6:23there is to sales of like how to have a
189. 6:25script and follow say these words and
190. 6:28this this and that but really I mean it
191. 6:29just comes down to trust like the amount
192. 6:31of times I buy from people who I just
193. 6:33like because I just like them is insane.
194. 6:35So this is where YouTube I think is is
195. 6:38is the best. A part of me dies anytime I
196. 6:40have to do cold outbound to be honest
197. 6:42with you. Like a part of my soul is just
198. 6:44like you know, leaves me. But you know,
199. 6:46sometimes I get it because at the end of
200. 6:49the day there is something to content
201. 6:52that is like, you know, sometimes people
202. 6:53just you don't have it. I hate to say
203. 6:56that.
204. 6:56>> [laughter]
205. 6:57>> I know it sounds bad but if you if you
206. 6:59have this problem, you know it you're
207. 7:02like, you know what? No matter like what
208. 7:03I do like it's a learning process with
209. 7:05with content being on YouTube and and
210. 7:07and doing this sort of thing but if you
211. 7:09want to kind of do something in the
212. 7:11meantime while you're learning that
213. 7:12skill, you don't got it yet then cold
214. 7:15outbound makes sense and and look I've
215. 7:16had to do cold outbound too and I think
216. 7:18that the best way to do cold outbound
217. 7:20especially if you're selling like kind
218. 7:21of B2B products based off of what I've
219. 7:24learned actually less AI here is better.
220. 7:27It's like [laughter]
221. 7:28So like I in in general as we move into
222. 7:31kind of a very AI saturated world of
223. 7:34like you know, dead internet theory
224. 7:36where everything on the internet is just
225. 7:37bots, the differentiator becomes doing
226. 7:39less of that and appear appealing to be
227. 7:41more more human.
228. 7:42>> Do you Do you want to shelve cold
229. 7:44outbound for a second and we can come
230. 7:46back to it and we can focus on the
231. 7:48content side of things and start to get
232. 7:50into Okay, like if people agree that
233. 7:53they want to at least get this flywheel
234. 7:55set up where they can create even just
235. 7:58five best of articles that they can turn
236. 8:00into LinkedIn articles and YouTube
237. 8:02videos, how they can use agents to help
238. 8:05them do that and what agents are the
239. 8:06best to use.
240. 8:07>> Yeah, let's dive into it. So, this is
241. 8:09super relevant, especially for me
242. 8:11because I have on um
243. 8:14on my YouTube channel. So, I have a
244. 8:16quite small YouTube I mean, I have like
245. 8:1710,000 subscribers ish. You can see here
246. 8:20I have a couple of videos recently that
247. 8:22I've just started doing. This is like a
248. 8:24new thing I'm doing which is like
249. 8:25podcasts, talking to kind of industry
250. 8:28experts, people in my industry who are
251. 8:29selling agents to businesses. That's
252. 8:32kind of our our audience here. And what
253. 8:34I do is I have AI at every step of the
254. 8:37process. What I use for my whole
255. 8:40flywheel here, it literally I'll kind of
256. 8:42tell you what it does first. So, first,
257. 8:44I film a video. I literally hand it off
258. 8:46to my agent. It creates the thumbnail.
259. 8:49It creates the the title. It It creates
260. 8:52the description. This is all done by the
261. 8:55agent. The website, everything mentioned
262. 8:57in the video, done. Transcript,
263. 8:59everything tagged of like chapters, all
264. 9:02of this, it literally did all of this.
265. 9:04And then it even edited the video at
266. 9:06certain times of like I think there was
267. 9:08a time in here where I had to like blur
268. 9:10something out. It edited all of that.
269. 9:13And then it cuts it up into shorts,
270. 9:15posts the shorts, posts it to every
271. 9:17platform. I'm not even done yet. It then
272. 9:19turns it into a newsletter, which then
273. 9:21goes out to everybody, generates the
274. 9:23image to go inside of the newsletter. I
275. 9:24mean, that's pretty much it. Then
276. 9:25schedules those shorts to be twice a day
277. 9:27for the next like, you know, five days
278. 9:29depending on how many clips were in
279. 9:30there, all automated by agents. And the
280. 9:33agent that I use to do this is actually
281. 9:36Codex. So, OpenAI's Codex. and I can
282. 9:38kind of talk through how I set that up.
283. 9:40I showed this to our editor. I'm like,
284. 9:42"Okay, I'm using AI for all of this
285. 9:44stuff, but I would like to have an
286. 9:45editor, too, cuz like there is an
287. 9:46element of like human design and and all
288. 9:49of that as well." And I told him all
289. 9:50this, he's like, "Dude, what?"
290. 9:52>> [laughter]
291. 9:54>> He's like, at least he's like, "Okay,
292. 9:55I'm going to obviously do how I know,
293. 9:57you know, of editing and designing, but
294. 9:59he's like, if you could teach me this as
295. 10:01well, cuz at least it could speed me up
296. 10:02a bit, um that would be amazing." So,
297. 10:04people don't realize, but you can do
298. 10:06that today and and that's kind of my
299. 10:07flywheel. It's like, you know, for for
300. 10:09filming one podcast, it gets turned into
301. 10:11a newsletter, it gets turned into clips
302. 10:13and shorts, etc. It's posted every
303. 10:14platform. I mean, you can do it today
304. 10:16and people don't realize that.
305. 10:18>> And quick question on that, does that
306. 10:19cost a ton of tokens?
307. 10:21>> Yeah, so I think the full run, it
308. 10:23literally takes the video, goes into
309. 10:24CapCut, does computer use in CapCut,
310. 10:27clips everything. Like, it does take
311. 10:29around, I think it's like an hour-ish
312. 10:31for everything to run through and
313. 10:33through. And yeah, I I do have the 200 a
314. 10:35month max plans. I don't really think
315. 10:37about the tokens too much.
316. 10:39>> But that's it. Like, that's actually not
317. 10:40for most business owners, they're like,
318. 10:42"200 a month?" Like, I was expecting you
319. 10:44to be like, "Yeah, it's going to cost
320. 10:45additional tokens above and beyond
321. 10:46that." But it doesn't?
322. 10:47>> Yeah, no, it's I do everything in the
323. 10:49200 a month plan and I know that OpenAI,
324. 10:52they're launching a new model today. So,
325. 10:54I use GPT-6 Astra is the their most
326. 10:57advanced model for all the computer use
327. 10:59and and everything. They're launching
328. 11:01GPT-6 Soul, which is like going to be
329. 11:03probably 20% of the cost of Astra and
330. 11:06it'll probably be 80%, 90% of its
331. 11:09capabilities. So, I think they're
332. 11:10launching that today. Intelligence, it's
333. 11:12only going to get cheaper. So, it's
334. 11:13like, you might as well be building with
335. 11:15these things and building out the skills
336. 11:16and automations and everything for it to
337. 11:18be able to do this. And I can kind of
338. 11:19show my setup here. So, this is inside
339. 11:21of Codex. So, if you don't know, if
340. 11:22people don't know what Codex is, Codex
341. 11:24is like, you know, OpenAI's cloud code,
342. 11:27essentially. And it has these amazing
343. 11:29capabilities for like things like
344. 11:31computer use and obviously it has all
345. 11:33these connectors that you can use, and
346. 11:34you can set scheduled tasks, etc. So, in
347. 11:37here, I have a project that I made
348. 11:39called Bots, because Codex doesn't have
349. 11:41their own Grok Bot yet. People will
350. 11:43probably know what Grok Bot is, but it's
351. 11:44like Cursor or XAI's version of like
352. 11:47creating a bunch of agents that could do
353. 11:48work for you. Codex doesn't have their
354. 11:50version of of that yet, but I kind of
355. 11:52built my own version of it, and it's
356. 11:55really just a project in Codex, and in
357. 11:57this project, it's called Bots, and then
358. 11:59I have all of my bots, and they're
359. 12:00literally just ongoing Codex sessions.
360. 12:04Just long-running sessions. I just keep
361. 12:05the same session running, and each
362. 12:07session knows that it has like a bot
363. 12:10persona. And in here, I have, you can
364. 12:12see like this is the podcast publishing
365. 12:14bot, Beacon, and it does, you know, all
366. 12:17of the publishing to all the different
367. 12:18platforms. Jewels does the editing of my
368. 12:21website, so like when I post a new
369. 12:23video, my website gets updated, that
370. 12:25video gets added to my website, there's
371. 12:27a a blog article that's written on my
372. 12:29website about the video. It's all
373. 12:31automated for me.
374. 12:32>> You use CapCut for editing, and then,
375. 12:34you know, whatever else, and then
376. 12:35basically just go, "Hey, can you connect
377. 12:37to all these different softwares?"
378. 12:39Assuming that Codex makes it really easy
379. 12:40to do that, you know, kind of go from
380. 12:42there. So, aside from aside from CapCut
381. 12:44for editing, do you know off the top of
382. 12:46your head like what are the other
383. 12:47softwares that you're using for this
384. 12:49workflow?
385. 12:50>> Yeah, I was actually just talking with
386. 12:51my editor about this, cuz I was like
387. 12:53kind of going through like how I do
388. 12:56everything, and I was showing him here
389. 12:57like, "Okay, like let's ideate on like
390. 12:59Google Docs
391. 13:00>> or Notion, okay.
392. 13:00>> The thumbnails that my agent makes,
393. 13:03Codex connects to these two tools that I
394. 13:05use uh specifically, Hixfield and VidIQ.
395. 13:08What you do is you connect Codex to
396. 13:12these two tools, Hixfield,
397. 13:14and I'll tell I'll tell you what these
398. 13:15are, and VidIQ.
399. 13:18So, let me talk about Hixfield. Hixfield
400. 13:21is the thumbnail generation, so like
401. 13:23when you see a YouTube video thumbnail,
402. 13:25it is able to take my face, stores it as
403. 13:28an avatar that it can use and create
404. 13:30consistent characters from, and then it
405. 13:31can create these YouTube thumbnails for
406. 13:33me based off of VidIQ telling it what
407. 13:37videos on YouTube are outliers. So, it
408. 13:40could tell you outliers based on like
409. 13:42thumbnail outliers that are really well,
410. 13:44like oh, this thumbnail resulted in this
411. 13:47video being 100x more performant or the
412. 13:49click-through rate this much higher. So,
413. 13:51like VidIQ is the intelligence layer of
414. 13:53YouTube of like these are the titles
415. 13:55that work, these are the thumbnails that
416. 13:57work, these are the videos that work.
417. 14:00And Higgs Field will then use that to
418. 14:02generate the thumbnail, and yeah, those
419. 14:04are like the two tools that I just
420. 14:06connect to to GPT-6 Astra for kind of
421. 14:08like the the YouTube stack at that at
422. 14:10least at that level.
423. 14:11>> Do you have to like set anything up in
424. 14:12VidIQ or you're just signing up for the
425. 14:14platform and then going into Codex and
426. 14:16being like, use VidIQ for your
427. 14:18intelligence and use Higgs Field to turn
428. 14:20that into a thumbnail?
429. 14:21>> Literally that. Like I I think people
430. 14:24would be amazed. I could include my
431. 14:26skills here in this video, and and
432. 14:28perhaps I will. I'll I'll I'll make sure
433. 14:30I can make a version that everyone here
434. 14:31can just copy and paste into their Codex
435. 14:34and it'll be able to do what mine does.
436. 14:36Uh so, I'll do that, but the way I got
437. 14:38that was just by talking to the agent.
438. 14:39So, like I encourage everyone, just talk
439. 14:41to your agent. If you don't understand
440. 14:42how something works or you want to like
441. 14:45be able to have a new capability, just
442. 14:47ask your agent. It'll know better and
443. 14:48it'll help you set itself up. So.
444. 14:50>> Yeah, I think people really get like
445. 14:52intimidated by oh, I need to have this
446. 14:54complicated skill and there's all this
447. 14:56jargon that makes it sound more
448. 14:57complicated than it is when really what
449. 14:59I think you're saying and what I found
450. 15:01is just go, sign up for Higgs Field,
451. 15:03sign up for VidIQ, open up ChatGPT, in
452. 15:06ChatGPT open up Codex, and just say
453. 15:09like, hey, can you connect to VidIQ and
454. 15:11Higgs Field? And then just voice to text
455. 15:14using Whisper Flow or whatever you use,
456. 15:16and then just describe what you want
457. 15:18where it's like, can you use VidIQ and
458. 15:20Higgs Field together to create the best
459. 15:22possible thumbnails for YouTube so that
460. 15:25hopefully my videos can go viral. And
461. 15:27just simple stuff like that is like all
462. 15:29it takes and the AI will run with that
463. 15:32and kind of do the rest of the work for
464. 15:33you.
465. 15:34>> Exactly. And like it's really cool cuz
466. 15:36vidIQ it tells you here like I have the
467. 15:38extension installed and so you can see
468. 15:40here on this video uh let me zoom out a
469. 15:43bit. It tells you like all of these kind
470. 15:46of details up here in the top right of
471. 15:48like what was the engagement or how much
472. 15:50of an outlier was this video? So this
473. 15:52video was a 5x outlier. So like you can
474. 15:54use the vidIQ extension inside of CodeX.
475. 15:57It'll be able to see all the outliers on
476. 15:59YouTube relevant to your niche. But you
477. 16:01could also like just scroll YouTube and
478. 16:04like you can see like what the outliers
479. 16:05are. Like this is a 100x outlier on
480. 16:07YouTube. You don't have to copy the
481. 16:09video but maybe you copy the title and
482. 16:11apply it to your industry, right? You
483. 16:12can kind of just scroll and and you you
484. 16:15know relevant to your niche and see like
485. 16:17what's doing well. Like none of this is
486. 16:18really relevant to my niche. It's kind
487. 16:20of like motivational stuff. I don't even
488. 16:21know why that's there. But anyway, you
489. 16:23get the gist and I could type in like
490. 16:25sell agents to businesses on YouTube.
491. 16:28And what I would do is I would literally
492. 16:30come here. I have vidIQ. I would
493. 16:31literally just scroll and say, "Okay,
494. 16:33which of these are outliers?" Okay, this
495. 16:36video I did with Andrew was a 4x
496. 16:38outlier. Okay, not bad. This one here,
497. 16:4017x outlier. What's the title? Oh, the
498. 16:43only two I AI agents I sell to make 85k
499. 16:46a month. Cool. Let me like reapply that
500. 16:48title but for my use case. So maybe it's
501. 16:50like the only two uh Grok bots I need to
502. 16:54make a full content system. You see what
503. 16:56I mean? Like you can you can plug and
504. 16:58play.
505. 16:58>> Okay, so we're basically trying to
506. 17:01create YouTube videos that then becomes
507. 17:04kind of like our hub content that we can
508. 17:06use to edit up into shorter videos.
509. 17:08Let's just kind of go back to the
510. 17:09beginning. So you have CodeX. You signed
511. 17:11up for CodeX. You now you signed up for
512. 17:13Higgsfield and vidIQ. That's going to
513. 17:15allow you to create titles and
514. 17:17thumbnails that actually work and help
515. 17:19you to go viral. We talked about
516. 17:20thumbnails, you just talked about
517. 17:22titles. What next? So, now people have
518. 17:24like a title idea and a thumbnail idea.
519. 17:26What comes next in the tool stack or
520. 17:28like what's the next step?
521. 17:29>> So, I actually we were recording inside
522. 17:31of it right now. It's called Riverside
523. 17:33Studio. So, you can record your videos
524. 17:35inside of Riverside. It's really nice
525. 17:36because it's like all kind of in the
526. 17:39cloud. So, when you're done recording,
527. 17:40it all goes to the cloud and you have
528. 17:42all these different like assets. Like we
529. 17:44can use the full video of just my face,
530. 17:48your face, or the screen, or any kind of
531. 17:51combination and mixture of that. So, I I
532. 17:53like Riverside for that. But, I don't
533. 17:55even give Riverside to my agent. I just
534. 17:57download the video assets from
535. 17:59Riverside. And then I tell Codex, "Hey,
536. 18:02use CapCut." And you can use whatever
537. 18:04Adobe Premiere, whatever video editing
538. 18:06software you have. Use CapCut to take
539. 18:09this video I just downloaded and go
540. 18:11ahead and and clean it up, edit the
541. 18:12video, and do etc. for it. And it
542. 18:15literally it will use the computer use.
543. 18:17You will see it take over your screen,
544. 18:19take over the mouse, and then it'll
545. 18:20actually like use the software like you
546. 18:22and I would to edit the video. It's
547. 18:24insane. It's like breaks my mind and and
548. 18:26people they don't even realize that you
549. 18:27can do this. It's incredible.
550. 18:29>> That is wild. Okay, cool. So, now it's
551. 18:30like you got the the title, the
552. 18:32thumbnail, you film the actual video
553. 18:35based on the title that you get from
554. 18:38Codex that used VidIQ and Hixfield.
555. 18:40Cool. Now, I'm going to like film the
556. 18:42video. That obviously is going to
557. 18:44require you to actually do like human
558. 18:47creative work to create the video. But,
559. 18:48then you take the video, which you film
560. 18:50in Riverside, you download the video,
561. 18:52which comes in like a a number of files.
562. 18:54You'll have like one file which is like
563. 18:56my screen, you'll have one file that's
564. 18:58your screen. You just download them all,
565. 19:00you drag and drop them, you put them
566. 19:02into Codex, you connect Codex with
567. 19:05CapCut, which you signed up for, and
568. 19:07then you just say, "Here are the video
569. 19:08files. Can you please create like one
570. 19:11long-form video
571. 19:14in CapCut using these files. Is that all
572. 19:17correct?
573. 19:17>> Exactly. So, then the agent Codex will
574. 19:21then do the long-form video edit with
575. 19:23CapCut. And then it'll also do I'll have
576. 19:26it do the short-form clips cuz you can
577. 19:28then chop that one piece of content up
578. 19:31that you know, that long-form into into
579. 19:32short-form. And then it will post I
580. 19:35usually always have it just post the
581. 19:36long-form immediately. And it will post
582. 19:38it to every platforms.
583. 19:40>> I'm talking X, LinkedIn, YouTube,
584. 19:42school. And then whatever other platform
585. 19:45you want. It'll post it to all the
586. 19:47platforms. And then it'll schedule these
587. 19:50short-form clips to be like twice a day
588. 19:52over however many days depending on how
589. 19:54many clips were were clippable from your
590. 19:56long-form. So, like this is like a
591. 19:58flywheel already. You see?
592. 19:59>> Yeah, this is already amazing. So,
593. 20:02really quick question on connecting X,
594. 20:03LinkedIn, YouTube, etc. Is that just as
595. 20:05simple as going into Codex and just
596. 20:08being like, "Can you connect to my X?"
597. 20:10And then it just gives you like, "Sure,
598. 20:11like drop in your X profile." Or like
599. 20:14how easy is it to connect to to connect
600. 20:16those?
601. 20:17>> Yeah, so you have a couple options. Like
602. 20:19there are tools out there that you can
603. 20:21do cross-platform posting inside of
604. 20:24Codex. So, you can connect Codex to
605. 20:26either like an MCP I think like Post
606. 20:29Bridge. This guy on Twitter made this,
607. 20:31you know, post to every platform tool. I
608. 20:32think you could you could use something
609. 20:34like that. Yeah, Jack. Um but you could
610. 20:37also just tell it to use the browser.
611. 20:38Like yeah, like I'm logged in on X. I'm
612. 20:41logged in on LinkedIn. Just use the
613. 20:43browser. Like go do it yourself. And it
614. 20:45could do it that way. So, yeah, it's
615. 20:47really up to you.
616. 20:48>> It's wild cuz to you you're probably
617. 20:50like, "Yeah, like this is obvious." But
618. 20:52to me and like other laymen who like
619. 20:54haven't done this, it's like, "Oh
620. 20:56like I can just have it do the browser
621. 20:57use where it's controlling my mouse."
622. 20:59And it like I'm just logged in on my
623. 21:01computer all the time. And it'll just
624. 21:02open up and do it. That's crazy. And
625. 21:04then for scheduling, is it the same
626. 21:05thing? Just browser use and it'll use
627. 21:08LinkedIn's native scheduling function or
628. 21:10is there anything else that you use for
629. 21:12that?
630. 21:12>> Exactly. Like you can just schedule like
631. 21:15LinkedIn should have a a native
632. 21:16scheduling. I think Twitter has native
633. 21:18scheduling, YouTube as well. School for
634. 21:21instance, like the community where you
635. 21:23know, you you make you know, videos and
636. 21:25courses etc. It doesn't have a native
637. 21:27scheduling. So for something like this,
638. 21:30you could just tell Codex to create a
639. 21:32scheduled task for itself so that the
640. 21:35day that you want it published, it will
641. 21:36just use the browser on your own
642. 21:38computer or go to school and post it at
643. 21:40that time.
644. 21:41>> That's so crazy. And then okay, so now
645. 21:44you kind of you have this little
646. 21:46flywheel going and you had mentioned
647. 21:49newsletters and text-based posts and I
648. 21:51want to talk about that cuz on
649. 21:53Riverside, when you download the assets
650. 21:55and again, like if you haven't used
651. 21:56Riverside, this stuff is really easy as
652. 21:58soon as you get into Riverside. When we
653. 22:00say download the assets, like yeah,
654. 22:02you'll you'll you'll be able to figure
655. 22:03that out very easily. One of the assets
656. 22:04is the transcript. So I'm assuming that
657. 22:06that transcript can then get fed into
658. 22:09Codex for it to create a newsletter
659. 22:12version or maybe some like short-form X
660. 22:14posts or things like that. Before we get
661. 22:15into that, is there anything else on the
662. 22:18video editing side of things before we
663. 22:20get into the text-based posts?
664. 22:21>> It does the short-form clips like you
665. 22:24said based off of like the transcript.
666. 22:25So it'll read the transcript, it'll say,
667. 22:27"Okay, here were the memorable memorable
668. 22:30golden nuggets." It'll clip those and I
669. 22:32can even show you like the kinds of
670. 22:34clips that it makes. Like it's really
671. 22:36impressive. So now these clips on my
672. 22:38YouTube, they didn't do that well. Okay,
673. 22:40this one here it did like 1.3k views,
674. 22:42but it's another touch point. Like it
675. 22:43doesn't hurt you. And and if you spend a
676. 22:45little more time, I'm sure you could
677. 22:47make it even better, but this is
678. 22:48entirely done by the agent here. You can
679. 22:51see it has a title here. It has the
680. 22:53transcription. It even has like, you
681. 22:55know, this over here at the bottom. Like
682. 22:57I didn't do any of this. And you know,
683. 22:59it's 1.3k views. For your industry, for
684. 23:01your niche, Is that valuable? I think
685. 23:03so.
686. 23:04>> Most people, like we're probably too
687. 23:06like we've been doing content for a
688. 23:07while. For most people, they would be
689. 23:09like, "Yeah, 1.3k views is 10x what I'm
690. 23:11getting right now." So, yeah, it's
691. 23:13great.
692. 23:13>> It's a It's amazing. And it's It costs
693. 23:15you like no nothing on your end of like
694. 23:17editing or anything like that. So, it's
695. 23:18like might as well. And for that, so
696. 23:21there's this other tools you could use
697. 23:22once again to post cross-platform, etc.
698. 23:25But, you could even tell uh your agent
699. 23:27when it does the cross-platform posting
700. 23:29like I have skills so that it knows the
701. 23:32kind of way to format the the post on X.
702. 23:35It knows how to post it for LinkedIn.
703. 23:37Like it You You don't want the same kind
704. 23:39of text for LinkedIn and X and and
705. 23:41LinkedIn. So, and YouTube and and
706. 23:42school. So, it contextualizes it to the
707. 23:44platform. And then for the short-form
708. 23:46clips, it has to do that here as well of
709. 23:48like for Instagram, it can have this
710. 23:50kind of description, but on YouTube
711. 23:52Shorts, you don't have the ability to
712. 23:54add like as big of a kind of description
713. 23:56as you can on Instagram. So, once again,
714. 23:58contextualized every platform. Once
715. 24:00those are scheduled, so the long-form
716. 24:02goes out, it gets posted to every
717. 24:04platform. Short-form clips get
718. 24:05scheduled. The next thing is turning it
719. 24:07into a newsletter, which you can see
720. 24:10here if you go to my website. So, this
721. 24:13website is my personal website entirely
722. 24:16managed by Codex. So, it has a scheduled
723. 24:19task that updates this every Friday. So,
724. 24:22like I did a video last week with the
725. 24:25founder of Agent Phone. This guy built a
726. 24:27way that you can give your agent an
727. 24:29iMessage number, and you can text it.
728. 24:31And my website was automatically updated
729. 24:33to add his video here, read the
730. 24:35takeaways uh done by the agent, like and
731. 24:39then sign up for the newsletter so that
732. 24:41you can actually get it in your email
733. 24:43inbox, which is also done by the agent.
734. 24:45So, like entirely done for me. I I don't
735. 24:48do anything here. This is all run by
736. 24:49itself.
737. 24:50>> To follow the flow of like, "Okay, one
738. 24:52YouTube video becomes all these smaller
739. 24:54assets." So, that YouTube video, that
740. 24:56becomes a newsletter issue. Can you show
741. 24:59an example of what your newsletter
742. 25:00actually looks like?
743. 25:01>> Yeah, let me show you. So, I use this
744. 25:03platform called Loops. They're another
745. 25:04YC company. They have here, let me show
746. 25:08you. Okay, so here inside of Loops, you
747. 25:10have the way that you can set up a
748. 25:12newsletter. This was the one that I did
749. 25:14with like for Corey's video, and it's
750. 25:16like, "Who runs the agent next month?"
751. 25:18And it it just goes it generated this
752. 25:20image here. It generated all this copy.
753. 25:22It says, "Try this." It breaks down the
754. 25:24video into actionable steps. It plugs
755. 25:27our product. It gives the link to the
756. 25:29video, and and it's pretty impressive
757. 25:32cuz if you look at the metrics here, the
758. 25:34open rate was 41%.
759. 25:36>> That's so wild.
760. 25:38>> Click rate was 3%. Pretty good.
761. 25:40>> Yeah, these are
762. 25:41great metrics.
763. 25:43Damn, that's amazing. And you use Codex
764. 25:45as well, and specifically you're using
765. 25:47Astra? Or for dummies like me, can you
766. 25:50explain that and and why?
767. 25:51>> So, for Codex, yeah, I I use Astra. It's
768. 25:55the it's their most advanced model, and
769. 25:56it's the best at computer use. And then
770. 25:58for the newsletter, I use loops.so, and
771. 26:02Codex actually does have a plugin for
772. 26:04this. You can use it with the plugin.
773. 26:06It's like a MCP connector. And and then
774. 26:08it can manage your whole newsletter
775. 26:09using using Loops to send out the
776. 26:11campaign, do all the management of
777. 26:13analytics, etc. So, this this is only on
778. 26:15your on your side. If you take the time
779. 26:17to set this up, it's just going to get
780. 26:18cheaper, better, faster. It's an asset
781. 26:20that'll grow with you.
782. 26:21>> I think like the next step here that you
783. 26:24could take would be, okay, now how do
784. 26:26you take this content and start to
785. 26:29create even just a first draft of AI
786. 26:32search content. So, as an example, a
787. 26:35blog article that can live on your
788. 26:37website, as well as a LinkedIn Pulse
789. 26:39article, which is ranking really well
790. 26:41right now in AI search. And you would
791. 26:44probably need a few extra steps to just
792. 26:46know how to actually optimize that
793. 26:48content for AI search, but I I just
794. 26:50imagine that like like this already is
795. 26:52such a tight flywheel and then adding
796. 26:55that extra step it's like now you just
797. 26:57have this whole inbound content engine
798. 27:00and the only thing that you have to do
799. 27:03is to create the actual YouTube video
800. 27:07which obviously like that's work in and
801. 27:09of itself. It's not like that's
802. 27:10necessarily easy to create a YouTube
803. 27:11video. But before you would have to do
804. 27:13that plus do the thumbnailing plus the
805. 27:16like titles and the the cutdowns and
806. 27:18everything else. So like just takes all
807. 27:20that off your plate and actually that
808. 27:22reminded me the last thing
809. 27:24I wanted to show is the YouTube
810. 27:25description cuz this is one of the
811. 27:27little details that when you create a
812. 27:28YouTube video then you have to create
813. 27:29the description and it's just this like
814. 27:32task that normally would take like 20
815. 27:34minutes that becomes this unnecessary
816. 27:37blocker and if you do it right then it
817. 27:40adds a lot of value. It can help you to
818. 27:41rank in AI search and so it is worth
819. 27:43taking the time but it is just like one
820. 27:45of these time consuming little tasks.
821. 27:47This this was all also created with your
822. 27:50Codex agent.
823. 27:51>> Yeah, this this was all built by the
824. 27:54Codex agent. Like I didn't do any of
825. 27:55these timestamps. It even included all
826. 27:57the links that all the tools that we
827. 27:59talked about. It included links for all
828. 28:01of them, added some hashtags, linked the
829. 28:04podcast.
830. 28:05>> How did it know to do all that? Like how
831. 28:07did it know what an optimized
832. 28:08description looks like?
833. 28:09>> I didn't even tell it this part. This
834. 28:11part I didn't I didn't even instruct it.
835. 28:12It just knew. But yeah, so it might
836. 28:14spontaneously know to do certain things.
837. 28:16If it doesn't you could just tell it to
838. 28:18and yeah like but otherwise this was all
839. 28:20set up by by Codex and and I even forgot
840. 28:23that it's also set up that like this is
841. 28:25a podcast. When I publish it to YouTube
842. 28:28it gets published to Spotify and Apple
843. 28:31podcast as well and I forgot that that's
844. 28:33even there because Codex set that up. So
845. 28:36[laughter] like
846. 28:37like I forgot that that was even a thing
847. 28:38cuz it took the time to go set that up
848. 28:40and do it for me. So yeah, I I it's like
849. 28:43it is genuinely a flywheel and like you
850. 28:45said here I show you one example here of
851. 28:48how I turn this video into clips and and
852. 28:49and newsletters and and other pieces of
853. 28:51content. You have the whole AEO SEO side
854. 28:54of it, too, that I'm going to start to
855. 28:56incorporate now, because that's another
856. 28:58part of like you could use the YouTube
857. 29:00video as an asset to create the AEO and
858. 29:02SEO. The best of use cases, the versus
859. 29:04pages, the beehive, you know, the
860. 29:06comparison kits, all of that. And then
861. 29:08the final touches like you can have from
862. 29:11this one YouTube video that you make,
863. 29:13you can also have a way that you set up
864. 29:15agents to measure, okay, who is
865. 29:17commenting on the video? Can, based on
866. 29:19the people who comment on the video, can
867. 29:21we enrich and do people search on them
868. 29:23to find their LinkedIn, what their
869. 29:25business is, what are they selling, etc.
870. 29:28Find the ICPs of the people in the
871. 29:30comments, and then of those people, they
872. 29:32then you cold outbound them. But you're
873. 29:34not cold anymore, you're warm. So you're
874. 29:35not wasting your time, and they know
875. 29:37you.
876. 29:37>> Yeah, this is what we do. We we also do
877. 29:39like uh we call it warm calling, where
878. 29:42we'll take people who engage with our
879. 29:44organic content, enrich the data, get
880. 29:46their phone numbers, and then call them,
881. 29:48and they're always surprised, cuz we're
882. 29:49just like, "Hey, what's up? Like the X
883. 29:51algorithm brought us together. How's it
884. 29:52going?" And they're like, "Dang, that's
885. 29:54crazy." That we'll probably have to
886. 29:55leave to another episode, cuz I'm like,
887. 29:57this already, I think for people if they
888. 29:59just focus on getting this set up,
889. 30:01number one, it's going to break a lot of
890. 30:02beliefs that they have about how
891. 30:04difficult it is to set these things up.
892. 30:06Number two, it's just going to start to
893. 30:07give them leverage on their time, so
894. 30:08they do get time back and can start to
895. 30:10build out these additional flywheels. Uh
896. 30:13and those we can save for a future
897. 30:15episode. Again, if you like this
898. 30:16episode, let us know in the comments,
899. 30:17cuz then we could do uh another one. But
900. 30:19in terms of this specific flywheel, is
901. 30:21there anything else, any additional
902. 30:22sauce you want to give to the audience
903. 30:24before we wrap up?
904. 30:25>> I would just say, you know, if already
905. 30:28building with these tools, just like
906. 30:30start doing it. Codex is obviously like
907. 30:33an amazing place to start, and they're
908. 30:35going to make it easier and easier. You
909. 30:37can use Grokbot as well, so I ended up
910. 30:39just taking all of those Codex bots and
911. 30:42adding them into Grokbot as well. I even
912. 30:44have like a agent in here in Grokbot
913. 30:46that, you know, auto accepts people into
914. 30:48the school community, bans people who
915. 30:50are spamming inside of the school
916. 30:52community. I would use all the tools,
917. 30:54really, is is what I'm getting at is is
918. 30:56I would just use everything and if you
919. 30:58do, you just become 100x more output,
920. 31:00you know, if whatever your current
921. 31:02output is, just 100x that because you're
922. 31:04using agents. And I think that's the
923. 31:06opportunity today. It's It's not like
924. 31:08it's a a new opportunity with like new
925. 31:10things you could do. It's just like
926. 31:11everything you could already do, you
927. 31:13could just do more of it.
928. 31:14>> Nick, thank you, man, for coming on, for
929. 31:16taking your valuable time and sharing
930. 31:18your knowledge with the audience. Where
931. 31:20can people find more of you and learn
932. 31:23more?
933. 31:24>> Yeah, so I have a YouTube channel. It's
934. 31:26Nick Vasiljevski, it's my name. I make
935. 31:28content about how to build these agents
936. 31:30for other businesses. You can set up an
937. 31:32open claw or a Hermes agent on on our
938. 31:34Orgo cloud computer, build it for a
939. 31:36business, and then charge them 5K a
940. 31:38month, manage everything for them.
941. 31:40You're building them an AI employee. So,
942. 31:42if you like content like that, check me
943. 31:43out. YouTube, Twitter are my two most
944. 31:46popular platforms.
945. 31:47>> All right, that's the pod.
946. 31:48>> Thank you, guys.
