Use Grok Bot Better Than 99% of People (Full Course) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I got good news for you. So there's a
- 0:01way to use Grokbot so that you can have
- 0:04your own design team, engineering team,
- 0:06content team, personal shopping team,
- 0:08business team. And by the end of this
- 0:10episode, we are going to show you how to
- 0:12use it so you can set it up
- 0:14today on your own. This could be one of
- 0:17the most important videos I've done in a
- 0:18long time because I believe that Grokbot
- 0:21is a new interface to the internet. Now,
- 0:24how can you actually set this up today?
- 0:27Like right now. How can you set it up?
- 0:29In today's episode, I have my friend
- 0:31Ross Mike. He's literally one of the
- 0:32best explainers of AI on the internet.
- 0:35He comes on, he shares exactly how he's
- 0:38using Grokbot and how you can copy it
- 0:40today. [music]
- 0:41So I think this is a very important
- 0:42episode because there isn't a de facto
- 0:45master class for Grokbot using AI
- 0:48agents, how it plays in the whole
- 0:50ecosystem. [music]
- 0:51And you're going to get it explained to
- 0:52you by literally one of the best
- 0:54explainers of AI in the internet, my
- 0:56friend Ross [music] Mike. Stoked to have
- 0:58him. Let's get into it.
- 1:00>> The startup [singing] I just
- 1:02podcast.
- 1:02[music]
- 1:04Sipping time, baby.
- 1:07>> What's up, Mickey? By the end of this
- 1:09podcast, what are people going to learn?
- 1:11>> You're going to learn how to be a
- 1:12Grokbot maxi. Like it's the only
- 1:14personal agent that I've used and not
- 1:16only as a personal agent, but as an
- 1:18orchestrator to do a lot of great work.
- 1:20It's by far in my humble opinion the
- 1:22best one. And you're going to learn how
- 1:24I maximize and how you too can maximize
- 1:26it to the fullest.
- 1:28>> Okay, so by the end of it, you're going
- 1:30to show clear examples and which
- 1:31categories and can you commit to
- 1:34basically, if people stick around to the
- 1:36end, that they'll be basically be able
- 1:38to copy what you're doing, implement it
- 1:40in their daily lives, and good stuff
- 1:42will happen?
- 1:43>> Yeah, if and if I don't, if like if I
- 1:45don't fulfill the promise, I will come
- 1:47to your house and make you hot cocoa.
- 1:50[laughter]
- 1:52Let's do it.
- 1:53So I'm going to share my screen.
- 1:55There's some different ways that I use
- 1:57Grokbot and I'm just going to basically
- 1:58share like how it in engineering,
- 2:00design, content ideation. I know this is
- 2:03a startup ideas podcast. We're going to
- 2:04talk a little bit about business and
- 2:05finance. And the last one is the most
- 2:07interesting one is shopping. So I'm
- 2:09going to get straight into engineering.
- 2:11I'm just going to show you examples,
- 2:13right? So the one thing that I really
- 2:15like about Grokbot and I will like maybe
- 2:17zoom in so you can see it. I have
- 2:20multiple bots for specific projects. Now
- 2:24what's interesting about Grokbot and I
- 2:25think they're the ones who innovated on
- 2:27this, instead of having um multiple
- 2:30threads with like the same like agent,
- 2:33um they sort of architected these like
- 2:36bots which are basically contextual,
- 2:38have sort of their own set of skills and
- 2:40its own computer. And I find that like
- 2:44from an architectural perspective, I
- 2:45don't know if it's better um doing it
- 2:47like the chat GBT way or the way Grokbot
- 2:49does it, but mentally for me, I love the
- 2:52bot system. And the reason why is I
- 2:55basically now have like each bot
- 2:57contextualized to a specific piece of
- 2:59work, right? So when I'm working on
- 3:01let's say my Bezalel app or I'm working
- 3:03on my Bible app, I know exactly what I'm
- 3:06working on. So like even mentally for
- 3:08me, this like contextual block really
- 3:10helps. But for engineering, the way I
- 3:13usually work is I have an engineering
- 3:15bot and this bot has context to all my
- 3:18projects. And I'll usually shoot ideas.
- 3:21Like for example, like like a random
- 3:24idea that I have no knowledge about that
- 3:26I'll show you guys in a second.
- 3:29So I have this bot called AI Governance
- 3:32bid uh Greg and this is basically a
- 3:34friend of mine who works in the States
- 3:36told me that he does government
- 3:38contracting and he's in AI governance,
- 3:40right? And as someone who's heavily in
- 3:43AI, um the term AI and governance put
- 3:46together sounded interesting. So I asked
- 3:48my Grokbot, can you find some uh like
- 3:52bids that exist um you know that the
- 3:54government has for AI governance? And it
- 3:56started to work and it did that. And
- 3:59what's also interesting is I asked my
- 4:01engineering bot to work on a simple AI
- 4:04governance app. And I I did this at
- 4:07night. I woke up and I'm going to show
- 4:10you the app that it created for me.
- 4:12The app that it created, if I go to my
- 4:14GitHub repo,
- 4:15is this right here. Goshen ashore, AI
- 4:19governance compliance platform
- 4:22proprietary to Goshen Labs Inc. Now, do
- 4:25I have a clue how any of this works?
- 4:27Absolutely not. I have no idea. I
- 4:30haven't even run this. But the reason
- 4:32why I share this is when it comes to
- 4:34engineering, one of the best things that
- 4:35you could do with a Grok bot is
- 4:37literally just share with it your random
- 4:39ideas. Whatever ideas you have, whatever
- 4:41information you have, literally tell
- 4:43your Grok bot, like if you have an
- 4:44engineer bot, you can create one, and
- 4:46tell it just make this, give me
- 4:48something that works, push to my GitHub,
- 4:50and I'll check it later. So now, Greg, I
- 4:53have an abundance of ideas always being
- 4:56worked on. But those are just ideas.
- 4:58Let's talk about actual like shipping uh
- 5:01product, shipping projects. I'll give
- 5:03you a very clear example. Pluto is one
- 5:05of my apps that I've been working on for
- 5:07some time, and we're doing a slight
- 5:09pivot. And the pivot is basically we
- 5:11want to be able for people to use Pluto,
- 5:14and then with the data that like is in
- 5:16the Pluto app in their instance, for
- 5:18them to be able to fine-tune like a base
- 5:20model like Coin, right? This was just an
- 5:24idea. Now, I worked on this idea with a
- 5:26friend. We went back and forth, and
- 5:29basically he he used Claude code to
- 5:32create a PDF.
- 5:33And I downloaded that PDF, and I just
- 5:36gave it to my agent. I literally just
- 5:38said review this. I didn't tell it build
- 5:39this, I didn't say do this. I just said
- 5:42review it. Look what it says here. It
- 5:43says I read it, review the key decisions
- 5:45written, anything had to change. And
- 5:46then it's a good direction, but I
- 5:48wouldn't approve the build plan
- 5:49unchanged. It gave me issues as to why
- 5:53um there's some issues with the build
- 5:54plan, and it gave me some recommendation
- 5:57scope. I said this thing is mandatory,
- 5:59and then it's an understood I'll go with
- 6:01this core offering. And then I even
- 6:03shared with it a tweet asked if someone
- 6:06ask you for the type of product I wanted
- 6:07to build.
- 6:08It did that. It took the information I
- 6:11gave it and then it gave me a better
- 6:14plan as to how we should go about
- 6:16building this, right? And then you know
- 6:18what's crazy? I literally sent this to
- 6:20my friend and he gave me a response. You
- 6:22know what I did with the response? I
- 6:24copy pasted it. This was literally his
- 6:26response.
- 6:27Cuz you could see he uses my name here.
- 6:29And then I pasted it and then it worked
- 6:32and it it it's like okay 70% threshold
- 6:35blah blah blah and then it gave me a new
- 6:36plan. And this time so this is where I
- 6:39actually stepped in and I reviewed the
- 6:41plan and I'm like oh this is excellent.
- 6:43So guess what I told her Greg? Build it
- 6:44out. Now here's how I use Grok bot. Now
- 6:48you might some people might call me a
- 6:50subscription maxi.
- 6:52To me personally if you're watching this
- 6:53podcast you should 100% take advantage
- 6:56of the subscriptions available. The
- 6:58Cloud Code $200 month plan gets you
- 7:00anywhere between $8,000 to $12,000 worth
- 7:03of API token credits. In my humble
- 7:06opinion unless you're in dire financial
- 7:08need it seems irresponsible to not
- 7:11pay for that and take advantage until
- 7:14the wheels fall off. So I have Grok bot
- 7:17connected to Cloud Code and I use Grok
- 7:19bot as an orchestrator because Opus 55
- 7:22is still the most incredible model when
- 7:24it comes to engineering but I love using
- 7:26Grok bot as a orchestrator. So I
- 7:29literally look the most basic prompts
- 7:31you know back in the day we used to
- 7:32worry about prompt engineering. Now I
- 7:33just tell it how I feel. Build out
- 7:35everything use Cloud Code with Ultra
- 7:37Code Opus 55. If you need multiple
- 7:39sessions go ahead slash goal.
- 7:42And then it went on for hours. You could
- 7:44see this is yesterday. And then look
- 7:46what I got. I got
- 7:48working PRs.
- 7:50Working PRs five out of five PRs.
- 7:52And now I have people testing the
- 7:53feature.
- 7:55Right? So
- 7:56>> You could I see like you're using Grok
- 7:59bot to orchestrate. You could
- 8:01theoretically use
- 8:02Cloud Code, Codex.
- 8:05Like why especially you like you're an
- 8:07engineer, like why, why use Grokbot?
- 8:10>> The UX win from Grokbot is absolutely
- 8:14incredible. Like for me, like
- 8:18if I'm in like I use T3 code to use
- 8:20Claude code cuz I have multiple
- 8:21subscriptions and I use Codex as well.
- 8:24But the one benefit that Grokbot has is
- 8:27just and I'm telling you people, if you
- 8:29haven't tried it, you should try it. The
- 8:31UX feel, meaning like I can feel like I
- 8:34was I was in my mom's house yesterday,
- 8:36you know, we were having dinner um once
- 8:38a week I go to my mom's house to have
- 8:40dinner. Can I tell you I was crushing
- 8:42PRs
- 8:43using [snorts]
- 8:44state-of-the-art models
- 8:46from my phone with an app that actually
- 8:49feels good to use, right? And this is
- 8:51the problem with like if you use the
- 8:53ChatGPT app, you get a bunch of threats.
- 8:55The threats get mixed up on one thread
- 8:57I'm working on one project, the other
- 8:58thread. But because I'm talking to bots,
- 9:01because I'm talking to bots and the bot
- 9:03is named and it's clear and has context,
- 9:05like it's more of a feeling and a vibe,
- 9:08but the UX gains I've gone from using
- 9:10Grokbot to orchestrate my Claude code
- 9:13sessions has been incredible, right? So
- 9:16it's not even like a like oh I could
- 9:18just directly use Claude code, yes, but
- 9:21I am telling you I am more productive
- 9:23going back and forth with Grokbot,
- 9:25especially when I'm managing multiple
- 9:26projects cuz at the same time while
- 9:29doing this, I'm working on a project
- 9:31called VP Cloud. And VP Cloud is
- 9:33basically uh a Canadian sovereign cloud,
- 9:37meaning all the like you know a Vercel,
- 9:39whatever like deploy your AI models,
- 9:41whatever completely in on on GPUs that
- 9:44live in Canada. Am I a for a guy? Am I a
- 9:47cloud guy? Do I understand these things
- 9:49at a base level? Sure. Would I write
- 9:51code by hand to build this stuff? No.
- 9:53What do I do? I literally get Grokbot to
- 9:56spin a bunch of sessions, but not only
- 9:58that uh maybe
- 10:00I can show this, but
- 10:03not only did Grokbot build out the app,
- 10:06Grokbot is currently doing the
- 10:08negotiation with one of the GPU
- 10:09providers here in Canada. So I can maybe
- 10:12share the email a little bit. Uh I don't
- 10:15know if I can show the entire thing. Let
- 10:17me find
- 10:17>> while you're pulling that up, I think a
- 10:19a brand new feature of Grokbot, I think
- 10:21it just launched, is the ability to call
- 10:24using Grokbot. Did you see that?
- 10:26>> Yeah, which is incredible. Fortunately
- 10:28not um not available to us Canadians. Um
- 10:31I can't find maybe it called it used one
- 10:33of my other bots, but the my VP Cloud
- 10:36Project bot called one of told one of my
- 10:39other bots to email the provider to see
- 10:41if I can get a discount. He even
- 10:43mentioned that I was a YouTuber and I
- 10:44have this many subs and I can say it's
- 10:46powered by this.
- 10:48I didn't tell it to do that. I didn't
- 10:50give it that idea. It literally just
- 10:52said all the costs are a little too high
- 10:54compared to the American equivalents.
- 10:56Maybe we can get a discount. And this is
- 10:58the part of merging my engineering work
- 11:01with a personal agent that makes sense
- 11:03cuz with Claude Code I'm just getting
- 11:05straight engineering, right? With
- 11:06Grokbot I can have similar access to the
- 11:10beast of an engineer that Claude Code is
- 11:12plus the personal side of a personal
- 11:14agent like being able to send out
- 11:16emails, negotiate for me, request
- 11:18refunds, right? So the reason why I'm
- 11:21using Grokbot versus straight Claude
- 11:23Code uh Greg is the UX and the fact that
- 11:26the personal agent can handle business
- 11:28side as well.
- 11:29Uh multiple apps, my Bible app, uh
- 11:32terminal. Do you know what terminal is
- 11:33uh Greg? You'll actually find this so
- 11:35funny.
- 11:36Terminal
- 11:37is the trading app I built because I
- 11:39like how Bloomberg looks, but I don't
- 11:42feel like spending $30,000 on a on a on
- 11:44a Bloomberg terminal. So I built
- 11:47something snappy.
- 11:48Like this is pretty snappy and
- 11:50>> Mhm.
- 11:50>> and not only that, it actually works. I
- 11:52can switch to live, connect my brokerage
- 11:54account and lose money right now live. I
- 11:57could do that.
- 11:58I wrote I built this using Rust, meaning
- 12:00it is super performance, super fast.
- 12:02Like you can see how snappy this is.
- 12:05Um
- 12:06I didn't write a single line of code. I
- 12:08didn't go to Claude Code. I literally
- 12:10kept telling Grokbot exactly what to do,
- 12:13right? And even now like we're um there
- 12:16is this exchange um I'm not a big I'm
- 12:19not a big fan of promoting crypto but
- 12:20there's a crypto exchange that has a
- 12:22really
- 12:23great way of being able to uh have
- 12:25synthetic stocks. So not the actual
- 12:27stock but a a token that mirrors the
- 12:29stock and their project's open source
- 12:31and all that stuff. So you know what I
- 12:33did? I asked my Grokbot I'm like
- 12:35um oh look at this yeah side quest. How
- 12:38would it look like to build our own
- 12:39crypto and stock server node? I want to
- 12:41build a synthetic I want to build
- 12:43synthetic stocks for the entire market.
- 12:44What would that look like? Spin up a new
- 12:46bot that I can chat with.
- 12:48And then it set up a new bot called
- 12:49exchange.
- 12:51And
- 12:52um it told me legalities this this that
- 12:54and that and I'm saying I look look what
- 12:56I said I'm not asking you to be
- 12:57realistic nor am I asking you to swap
- 12:59what we built for Hyperliquid. I want us
- 13:01to build something novel. I want us to
- 13:03build an engine whatever it is where we
- 13:04can like so I'm literally just talking
- 13:07to the way I would talk to another
- 13:08person. No fancy prompt trick or
- 13:11anything like that.
- 13:12And then it came up with a plan. Now
- 13:14these artifacts are probably one of my
- 13:15favorite feature cuz visually it's easy
- 13:18for me to just go through this and
- 13:19understand what it's talking about. I
- 13:21breezed through it. I liked it. I was
- 13:23like okay fire.
- 13:25You see that prompt engineering grant?
- 13:26Fire.
- 13:27>> Mhm.
- 13:27>> Spin up the VPS clock so I have a VPS
- 13:30connected to my network. So I said spin
- 13:33up the VPS I I should have said in the
- 13:34VPS but it understood me. Cloud code
- 13:36ultra code Opus 55 with tons of Sun
- 13:39eight sub ages to get this done.
- 13:41Now six years ago is this an accept like
- 13:43sorry six months ago would this be an
- 13:45acceptable prompt?
- 13:47>> Absolutely
- 13:49>> Absolutely not. Now like it goes on
- 13:52building building and then now we're I'm
- 13:54trying to figure out what like hosting
- 13:56provider I can um
- 13:58uh deploy this on.
- 14:00Right like so in terms of engineering
- 14:03like the best workflow I I would I would
- 14:05share is
- 14:07I don't think Grokbot alone is is great
- 14:09for engineering. So the way I would look
- 14:11at it is I 'm using Grokbot and I'm
- 14:13giving Grokbot access to Claude Code.
- 14:17And the reason why I'm picking Claude
- 14:19Code over Codex is first and foremost
- 14:21Opus 55 is the better model. This could
- 14:23change if if OpenAI drops a better
- 14:25model, we'll probably flip. But right
- 14:27now the subsidies are just like like
- 14:31like you're getting $200 $200
- 14:33subscription, you're getting like $8,000
- 14:35worth of API credits, right? So if $200
- 14:38doesn't hurt the bank,
- 14:40it is absolutely irresponsible to not
- 14:42take advantage of this subsidy while it
- 14:44lasts. Um now someone might be asking
- 14:46how am I using how have I connected
- 14:48GrokBot to Claude Code? There's two easy
- 14:51ways to do There's two ways to do it.
- 14:53The easy way and the way I've done it.
- 14:55The easy way is every bot um has a
- 14:58computer,
- 14:59right? So you can literally tell it,
- 15:01hey, log into Claude Code on your
- 15:03computer and it can access it via that.
- 15:05I have a network of machines that I've
- 15:07connected via Tailscale. I use T3 Code
- 15:11and because T3 Code is already set up,
- 15:13every time I tell GrokBot to use uh
- 15:15Claude Code, it just spins up a T T3
- 15:18Code instance. Now here's the thing,
- 15:19someone might be like, oh, but you
- 15:21didn't explain how to set up the T3 Code
- 15:23thing or what if I just want to use
- 15:24Claude Code? I completely understand
- 15:26that. Ask your agent cuz that's what I
- 15:29did. I'm not a networking guy, Greg. I
- 15:31don't know. Maybe I can show it right
- 15:32here. You can see like I have a like a
- 15:34rig here with a bunch of computers. My
- 15:37laptop's podcast I can't show.
- 15:39All that's connected. I have multiple
- 15:41agents working. How does the networking
- 15:43work? How like I don't I I'm not a
- 15:46networking guy. But the models have gone
- 15:49so good. If you can think it and it's
- 15:51possible and it's been done, just ask
- 15:54the model how and you will literally get
- 15:56it done. So
- 15:57that's kind of how I've been using it
- 15:59for engineering, segmenting each project
- 16:01into its own bot if it's serious enough,
- 16:03going back and forth, getting my GrokBot
- 16:06to spin up Claude Code sessions. Now can
- 16:08you go directly to Claude Code? Yes. Why
- 16:10am I using GrokBot? I love the UX and
- 16:13the feeling and I feel super productive
- 16:15and my phone actually feels useful And
- 16:18even like without like they you can call
- 16:21the bot directly. So I'll be driving,
- 16:23I'll put the bot on speaker um and I'll
- 16:26I can like talk with it and it can get
- 16:28work done, right? And before it was like
- 16:30a gimmick, but now like this is
- 16:32genuinely something useful to me. So
- 16:35this is what I've been doing with the
- 16:36engineering side. Um let me know Greg if
- 16:39I missed anything or any questions
- 16:40arise.
- 16:42>> So
- 16:43it's easy to fall into the trap of
- 16:46having too many bots. Like
- 16:49>> Yes.
- 16:51>> I you know you you showed an example of
- 16:52like spin up a bot for you know
- 16:56exchange.
- 16:56>> Mhm.
- 16:57>> Um
- 16:58are you saying the most
- 17:00optimal way to use Grok bot is basically
- 17:03to just spin up bots per project and
- 17:07like cuz I've seen other people have
- 17:09like per employee, per jobs to be done.
- 17:12Like it's kind of a spectrum, right? Um
- 17:15what's your
- 17:16>> yeah the way I would think about it is
- 17:18like like context is my decider, right?
- 17:20So if for example like if you notice I
- 17:23have an engineer bot, but then I have
- 17:25bots for separate projects. Now the
- 17:27reason why I have an engineer bot is
- 17:28some things, some ideas, for example uh
- 17:32let me see if I can pull this up here. I
- 17:35have this
- 17:36widget right here or this extension
- 17:37called Still and it basically just takes
- 17:40screenshots.
- 17:41This was two prompts with my Grok bot.
- 17:44This does not deserve its own bot. So I
- 17:47have a general engineering bot for
- 17:49random ideas,
- 17:51but for anything that I deem serious or
- 17:53I want to launch to people or like I
- 17:57want to continue to working on to work
- 17:59on, that will get its own bot. But guess
- 18:02what happens once something is useless?
- 18:04I right click and I delete.
- 18:06So I am not afraid to delete bots that
- 18:08have like not served their purpose. Like
- 18:10for example um there's just like Toronto
- 18:12curriculum bill whatever whatever. This
- 18:14is over. Delete.
- 18:16Done.
- 18:17Right? So
- 18:18you can get into bot fatigue where have
- 18:2115 different bots for 15 different
- 18:23things. I think when I want to divide my
- 18:26mind into different groups because
- 18:27something requires my attention, that's
- 18:30when it becomes like a bot. So Pluto is
- 18:32an important project. I I'm taking it
- 18:34seriously. Deserves its own bot. The
- 18:36Bible app, I'm really having fun with
- 18:37this, deserves its own bot. Bezalel,
- 18:40believe it or not Greg, I'm at $200 MRR,
- 18:42deserves its own bot. Terminal will
- 18:45probably get deleted in two days. I'm
- 18:46going to be honest with you. Same with
- 18:48Exchange, right?
- 18:50So I'm cycling through these different
- 18:52bots
- 18:54on the regular. But there's some
- 18:55permanent ones I have. For example, IT,
- 18:57which I don't think I'll open because
- 18:58it'll leak some IP addresses, is like
- 19:00manages my fleet.
- 19:02ML
- 19:03basically handles all my local model
- 19:05stuff, right? Downloading models,
- 19:07fine-tuning models, and all that stuff.
- 19:09And I can get into that as well. I have
- 19:10been fine-tuning models using Grokbot,
- 19:13right? My content stuff I'm usually like
- 19:16I'm
- 19:17content all the time, content now. So
- 19:20those bots only. So I would say as long
- 19:22as there's a huge amount of context
- 19:24regarding a certain task, maybe that
- 19:26dictates its own bot. But the moment
- 19:29something's useless,
- 19:30delete it cuz that's what I do.
- 19:33>> And okay, we'll we'll actually we'll get
- 19:35into it later. Before we move on to
- 19:39I was going to ask a question, but we'll
- 19:40get into it on the content once we get
- 19:41into content.
- 19:43I will ask before before we move on
- 19:46around just cuz people are going to say,
- 19:48okay, great. This guy's like shipping a
- 19:50bunch of projects, but like I haven't
- 19:52seen security anywhere. How do I know
- 19:54that these projects are secure?
- 19:56What's your response to that?
- 19:58>> So
- 20:00the I and the reason why I didn't share
- 20:02this is I have access to an obliterated
- 20:05model,
- 20:06which is basically a model where the
- 20:08guard rails are removed. So it's a
- 20:10really really bad model. It could be a
- 20:11really really bad model, but a lot of
- 20:14companies use it to defend themselves,
- 20:16right? Like the open code, the railways.
- 20:19I don't think they have they might have
- 20:20had access to Mythos or Daybreak, but um
- 20:23lot of companies are using obliterated
- 20:24model. So I can't really show that part
- 20:27here because like, you know, science
- 20:28stuff, but I do run an obliterated model
- 20:30against all my uh against all my apps.
- 20:34But in terms of how would you handle
- 20:37like security is I would get whatever
- 20:40best model you have access to and then I
- 20:42would run slash goal and then I would
- 20:44say do security checks. Now the annoying
- 20:47part is both Claude and Codex might
- 20:51block you at times. Ask to like they
- 20:53might say like oh like cuz they they
- 20:55think you're trying to trick them. And
- 20:57the way you would handle that is you
- 20:59would spin up a new thread and reword
- 21:01your prompt differently. It is a bit of
- 21:04a headache, but you owe it to the people
- 21:06that are going to use your app if
- 21:07payments are involved, if sensitive user
- 21:09information is involved. Now there are
- 21:11some apps where security doesn't really
- 21:13matter. For example, my uh Bible app is
- 21:16a free app. There's no login. Everything
- 21:19is synced. Um like the reason why I made
- 21:21it is cuz I wanted to have no ads and I
- 21:23wanted to be super super fast, right? So
- 21:25there's nothing really to hack there,
- 21:27right? But for apps that are really
- 21:29really serious, like for example, um
- 21:31like Pluto um is a pretty serious app. I
- 21:34have an obliterated model running in the
- 21:36background always doing loops. Um I can
- 21:39also tell Grokbot to do security review
- 21:41for me. Like listen, anything you want
- 21:42done you can ask Grokbot to do for you.
- 21:45Um but like I don't do that personally
- 21:47because I haven't access to an
- 21:48obliterated model. Um yeah, I hope that
- 21:51sort of answers the question.
- 21:53>> Perfect.
- 21:54>> Yeah.
- 21:54>> All right, [snorts] let's move on to how
- 21:55else you're using Grokbot.
- 21:57>> design. And design's going to be pretty
- 21:58short. Um I use a tool called Paper.
- 22:03Paper is like Figma. I know the designer
- 22:05people might roast me for this. I
- 22:06apologize. Listen, I don't know what any
- 22:08of these different tools in terms of
- 22:10design things do. But what I love about
- 22:12Paper is the MCP's amazing. So Paper has
- 22:15this MCP. You connect it to your agent.
- 22:18How do you con how do I connect it to my
- 22:19agent, Mike? Ask your agent. I have
- 22:21Paper installed, connect to the MCP.
- 22:23That's simple.
- 22:24And what like the workflow that I have,
- 22:26and I did a whole video on this, is I
- 22:29actually I'll show you a live example.
- 22:32I have my Twitter
- 22:36is
- 22:37maybe we can get lucky. My Twitter is
- 22:40filled with people
- 22:42who are good at design. So like for
- 22:43example, this is like you know some
- 22:45beautiful design inspo.
- 22:47Um
- 22:49okay, none of the designers like okay,
- 22:50this is oh Quinn's about to drop
- 22:52something beautifully designed. So I
- 22:54have like a lot of design uh
- 22:57esque like Twitter follow like people
- 22:59that I follow. And then I also use
- 23:01something like Mobbin. It's just a
- 23:02resource, a reference of all beautifully
- 23:05designed websites. So literally what I
- 23:07will do is I will like take a screenshot
- 23:11of this right here and then I will tell
- 23:14my agent hey like I really like this.
- 23:16Can you build this on paper? And an
- 23:19example I can give you
- 23:21is
- 23:22I'm building a Shopify store for my
- 23:24brother's clothing brand. And
- 23:27let me see.
- 23:30Um
- 23:31yeah, so he gave me some of his designs
- 23:33and I said oh these are the designs. I'm
- 23:35like can you create a clean site and
- 23:37design and the design of the Pluto
- 23:39design system display my brother's
- 23:40clothing, right? So like pretty terrible
- 23:42prompt again. And it asked me a bunch of
- 23:44questions, what mood I was looking for.
- 23:46And it used Framer at first because I
- 23:48had Framer connected. Um but I didn't
- 23:50want it to use Framer. I wanted to use
- 23:52Shopify. So after a couple back and
- 23:53forths um it sent me a design and this
- 23:57is what it sent me on
- 23:58on paper.
- 23:59So I have this created and
- 24:02just to show you that I'm not a poser AI
- 24:04designer, I really use paper a lot. So
- 24:07like I'll copy like a website that I
- 24:10really like and I'll tell of my bot
- 24:13create a design system using this site
- 24:15as reference, right? So I'm not
- 24:17blatantly copying someone's site. I'm
- 24:19asking my agent to build a design system
- 24:22and then I'll tweak the design system.
- 24:24And for people who don't know what a
- 24:24design system is, it's basically a
- 24:26guidebook that a designer creates for
- 24:29developers. In this case, we're creating
- 24:30it for our agents, right? So, we're
- 24:32telling the agent, this is the font it
- 24:34needs to use, these are the colors, this
- 24:36is the typography, these are the
- 24:37different sizes we allow, this is the
- 24:39spacing, the shape, this is how rounded
- 24:42we want the squares, this is how big the
- 24:44buttons are, the cards are. This is
- 24:45actually a site, I think one of Riley's
- 24:47sites that I literally I loved so much
- 24:49that I asked it to create a design
- 24:50system. And then throughout like my
- 24:53different projects, I'll ask
- 24:55um I'll ask my bot to reference, right?
- 24:58So, in this case, I wanted a Gothic
- 25:00look, like a Christian Gothic look, and
- 25:04it created that. Let me go to this tab
- 25:06right here.
- 25:08Where was my paper? Yeah, it
- 25:10created that. And then guess what I told
- 25:12it, Greg, after that? I told it to
- 25:15uh build the front end. I asked it, how
- 25:16can I have this be a front end on
- 25:18Shopify? Cuz I didn't even know if you
- 25:20could customize front ends on Shopify. I
- 25:21haven't used Shopify in a very long
- 25:22time. Um and while I was doing that, by
- 25:25the way, it reminded me of Greg's pod.
- 25:28So, I connected my Shopify account and
- 25:31in literally a few minutes, went back
- 25:34and forth with the design
- 25:35and
- 25:37if I open this right here,
- 25:40>> Mm.
- 25:41>> has it built out?
- 25:42Right? So,
- 25:43>> our our Shopify templates dead?
- 25:45Like if you
- 25:46>> mean like cuz yeah, I remember I
- 25:48remember a time I had a friend who was
- 25:49making a lot of money customizing them.
- 25:52You I basically built it out on paper.
- 25:55Uh well, I don't I I don't even feel
- 25:56comfortable saying I built it out. My
- 25:57agent built it out on paper and I told
- 26:00it to I connected my Shopify account and
- 26:03it redesigned it, right? So, there's
- 26:04literally
- 26:06like in terms of building software, web,
- 26:08mobile, desktop,
- 26:11you can go far.
- 26:13You could go absolutely far.
- 26:15>> I wanted I want to say one quick point
- 26:17on
- 26:18the fact that you used
- 26:20like paper or you can use Figma or
- 26:22whatever you you want to use. The
- 26:24mistake a lot of people are making right
- 26:26now is they're going straight to code.
- 26:28So, they're prompting
- 26:30Grokbot or whatever to like build this
- 26:33thing and then once it's in code there's
- 26:35just a bunch of slop that's in there
- 26:38that like from a design perspective you
- 26:41can kind of you know people people call
- 26:43it AI smell you can kind of feel it.
- 26:45>> Yeah.
- 26:45>> What you should do
- 26:47is
- 26:49take a second before
- 26:51pushing something to code to actually
- 26:53make sure that the design system is
- 26:56high quality that it is going to
- 26:58resonate with your ICP that the like
- 27:01that you don't have some random features
- 27:03in here that you don't want and that's
- 27:05why
- 27:06for a long time that was actually like a
- 27:08headache but now with Paper MCP I mean
- 27:11it's not like you are affiliated with
- 27:12Paper I'm not affiliated with Paper
- 27:14you're not affiliated with Grokbot I'm
- 27:15not affiliated with Grokbot we're just
- 27:16using these tools cuz they're helpful in
- 27:18creating stuff right?
- 27:20>> 100% and like and and the thing is like
- 27:22I'm like I'm genuinely a user of all
- 27:24these tools and to your point you never
- 27:26want to go directly to output right? You
- 27:29want to like I'm still big believer in
- 27:32human in the loop when it makes sense
- 27:34and in terms of design my approval is
- 27:36100% necessary in terms of functionality
- 27:39how things are working my approval is
- 27:41definitely necessary so me being part of
- 27:43that feedback loop actually allows the
- 27:45AI to work more right? If I just told
- 27:47the AI agent yeah design the site on
- 27:50Shopify and it gave me some slop the the
- 27:52time I'm going to waste going back and
- 27:54forth is unnecessary versus I take the
- 27:56extra step I have a Paper account set up
- 27:59I'm using
- 28:00Paper Papers MCP with my agent it
- 28:03designs it and oh here's another cool
- 28:06feedback tool that I I I just recently
- 28:08discovered I can click comment on
- 28:11Paper I can leave a comment
- 28:14right? And then I could tell my agent
- 28:16address the comments
- 28:18>> Mhm.
- 28:18>> I could look at this I might not even be
- 28:19a designer and be like I don't really
- 28:20like how this logo looks or I don't like
- 28:22this font or the spacing here is weird
- 28:25or like this shouldn't say Toronto
- 28:27Ontario
- 28:28like I can tweak that add these comments
- 28:31and just tell my agent address that that
- 28:33is a better feedback mechanism versus me
- 28:36having a deployed side and then saying,
- 28:38well, I don't like this, I don't like
- 28:39this, and then I has to rebuild
- 28:40everything
- 28:41or like, you know, write rewrite code
- 28:42and stuff like that where I'd rather
- 28:44lock in the design first, be happy with
- 28:46it, then have it generate code.
- 28:50Um, another example I can share. Let me
- 28:52just pull this up. So
- 28:55um one of my apps, Bezel,
- 28:57just a little cool fun animation,
- 28:59nothing seriously, trying to explain
- 29:01what the app does.
- 29:03I got AI to build this. Now what's
- 29:06interesting is the way I got it to build
- 29:09this is I found someone who who posted a
- 29:12screenshot of something similar,
- 29:14right? And it was far back. I told AI to
- 29:17work on it, but I don't think it ever
- 29:18finished it. So I asked it, is Bezel's
- 29:21UI changes made? And it says it's
- 29:23checking, it says the PR was merged, the
- 29:25UI work is merged. And then I asked it,
- 29:27like don't confuse it. This is the
- 29:30Watch the prompt. The animation thingy.
- 29:33I forgot how it looked. I just know it
- 29:35had animations.
- 29:36And then it says, oh, that was the
- 29:38declarative dragging demo. So I saw this
- 29:40demo
- 29:42of like
- 29:43things being dragged around and how
- 29:44snappy things were and I saw this and I
- 29:47was like, oh, this is this is nice. Like
- 29:50I really like this. So I I I didn't even
- 29:53forgot that I gave it to it. So I said
- 29:54animation thingy. It remember and then
- 29:57it said want me to prototype the
- 29:58homepage hero one in PR. And I've told
- 30:02it to use CloudCode so much that now it
- 30:04knows. It says spinning up a CloudCode
- 30:05session for Dragology hero prototype and
- 30:08Bezel. Um, it worked on it.
- 30:11And then
- 30:12it it looked good, but then one thing I
- 30:14realized is it used icons and I was
- 30:15like, no, use the logos, right? Like
- 30:17these companies have logos. I said
- 30:19instead of icons to the left of the
- 30:20text, can you have logos?
- 30:22It worked on it.
- 30:23And the PR was ready. I merged it. And
- 30:27this is the site right now.
- 30:29Right?
- 30:30>> Fire, by the way.
- 30:31>> Thank you. Thank you. And like all of
- 30:32this was designed with paper. Like I
- 30:35found uh I'll even the same inspiration
- 30:38I found. This is the inspiration I
- 30:39found, family.co. Love the site. Love
- 30:42how cute and bubbly
- 30:43>> Taylor. Shout out Angie Taylor.
- 30:45>> Legend, right? Big fan of his work. So I
- 30:48got it to design system. I tweaked a
- 30:50couple of things and like look how nice
- 30:52and playful uh this site is. I'm not a
- 30:54designer. I use Grok Bot and paper and
- 30:57Cloud Code to build all this, right? So
- 30:59I think having the right tools and
- 31:02giving your agent the right feedback
- 31:04makes it
- 31:05more tasteful um versus than just
- 31:09producing purple gradient slop, if that
- 31:11makes sense.
- 31:13>> Cool. Yeah, let's keep going.
- 31:14>> Yeah, so that was design. Content
- 31:17ideation. Oh, this is going to be my
- 31:18favorite. Um so I have a YouTube Bot
- 31:22and the way I use my YouTube Bot is
- 31:25every I think it's eight it's 9:00 a.m.
- 31:28and then like 5 p.m.
- 31:30um it will scour through Twitter. And
- 31:32the reason why it scours through Twitter
- 31:34is Grok Bot basically gives you I don't
- 31:36want to say unlimited, but it feels like
- 31:38unlimited access to the X API. So you
- 31:41can like pull information from X however
- 31:43you want. And because the space that me
- 31:45and Greg are in are is very active on X
- 31:48and sometimes it's hard to keep up, I
- 31:50basically tell it always share with me
- 31:52three topics um of that you find in that
- 31:55that I you think I would find
- 31:57interesting based on the type of content
- 31:59I create and share with me tweets that I
- 32:02can make videos from. So this is
- 32:04today's. Let's look at it. It says
- 32:05Claude got bank access.
- 32:07Uh then
- 32:08Pobliano blew up Anthropic. Blew it up
- 32:11on Anthropic. So this is their I think
- 32:13their finance uh launch. Yeah, this is
- 32:15something I could talk about, right?
- 32:16This is about Claude. It's about
- 32:18finance. I find these two things
- 32:19interesting. And then it even gives me
- 32:21title idea. Claude just asks for your
- 32:23bank login. That's actually pretty good
- 32:25um like title. And then shares with me
- 32:28the type of resources I can add. And
- 32:30then second is Google ships agents that
- 32:33keep coding after you close the laptop.
- 32:35Anti-gravity remote agents level, right?
- 32:37So this is something I could talk about
- 32:39as well. Cloud Code was sending your
- 32:41email address to the web. Um so
- 32:43apparently there's some hacker news
- 32:45insider info or Cloud Code is doing
- 32:46something sneaky. This is probably a
- 32:49video that someone is recording right
- 32:51now as we speak. So, this is happening
- 32:53twice a day, every single day. Um the
- 32:56politics stuff happened in the states,
- 32:58right? Data centers are a big thing. It
- 33:00says data centers lost 46 of 47 votes.
- 33:03It knows that this is like I'm not a
- 33:04politics channel, but this is something
- 33:06that I probably would talk about, right?
- 33:08So, every single day 9 to 5 I am getting
- 33:11these ideas uh fed to me from Twitter
- 33:15with resources and title suggestions.
- 33:17Now, do I take these every single time?
- 33:20No. But am I keeping up to date with
- 33:22what's going on and do I basically have
- 33:24a plethora of ideas? 100% yes. Right?
- 33:28So,
- 33:29this is absolutely um one of my favorite
- 33:32bots, especially when it comes to the
- 33:34content creation one, is just ideation.
- 33:37Um I don't usually use AI to script um
- 33:40cuz I find that people
- 33:42you know, people prefer people. Um or
- 33:45maybe you can help it like organize your
- 33:46thoughts and stuff like that. But in
- 33:47terms of finding you ideas, there should
- 33:49be no reason why, especially if your
- 33:52community lives on X, it's one of the
- 33:54best things.
- 33:55Another thing I can share is my editor
- 33:58bot. Now, I don't fully use this just
- 34:01yet, meaning like no videos have went
- 34:03live,
- 34:04but man is it a good way to sort of
- 34:06explore
- 34:08the different styles I want
- 34:10and then I give it to my editor. Cuz I
- 34:12don't know editor language, Greg. You
- 34:14know, people say luts, this, color
- 34:17grading,
- 34:18blah blah, text, inter font, uh trans I
- 34:21don't know what none of that means. So,
- 34:23what I literally will do in my very like
- 34:27broken editor language English, I will
- 34:29tell it I want this, this feels a little
- 34:31too yellow, whatever, and guess what I
- 34:32do? I send to my editor. And my editor,
- 34:34very very talented, amazing,
- 34:36will follow those instructions, will
- 34:38give suggestions. So, like we're at a
- 34:40point where like,
- 34:41you know,
- 34:43if I didn't, like if I was starting
- 34:44ground zero, I would, I would use this.
- 34:47I, I would use AI to at least cut clips
- 34:50for me or add text for me, right? So,
- 34:52between like ideating with different
- 34:54styles, um using Grokbot and also like
- 34:58collecting your X,
- 35:00um it is a huge part of my content uh
- 35:04ideation and pipeline.
- 35:06>> I'll let you in on a little secret. I,
- 35:08I've been experimenting with using Opus
- 35:1055 to edit my short form. And some of
- 35:13those videos have gotten hundreds of
- 35:15thousands of views.
- 35:16>> Yeah, we're there. We're there. I, I
- 35:18believe and I'm, I'm going to start
- 35:19picking up short form I've been
- 35:20slacking. And yeah, like AI is going to
- 35:22be a big part of that, especially with
- 35:23like, I'm assuming probably had
- 35:25animations and stuff like that, right?
- 35:27>> I mean,
- 35:28there's no, I'm going to do, I'll
- 35:29probably do, you know, if people want me
- 35:31to do,
- 35:32you know, episodes on this, I'm happy to
- 35:33do it. But basically,
- 35:36my workflow was literally like, you
- 35:39know, I'm in the shower. I have an idea
- 35:41in the shower.
- 35:42I, you know, get back to my desk. I take
- 35:45my phone. I press record and I'm like,
- 35:47let me tell you about
- 35:49some topic, right?
- 35:51And
- 35:53hit record, stop,
- 35:55uh feed it to Claude code,
- 35:57you know, give it, you know, some uh
- 36:01framework for thinking about how to edit
- 36:03videos and what makes a good video. Um
- 36:06and basically posted it. Um and I, you
- 36:09know, I just wanted to see like if we
- 36:10were there yet and we're totally there.
- 36:13Um I could see a world where Grokbot
- 36:15does a better job
- 36:17at managing that relationship.
- 36:19>> No, 100% and that's what I use Grokbot
- 36:21for. Ultimately, Grokbot is an
- 36:23orchestrator for me. It orchestrates
- 36:24multiple different things. It's not
- 36:26solely doing the thing for me in some,
- 36:28in most cases. It's orchestrating the
- 36:30thing. For example, to your point on
- 36:32this video, I've been working on like
- 36:34animations and like animated stuff and
- 36:38like
- 36:39I remember a time where this cost me a
- 36:40pretty hefty penny, right? Like, like
- 36:44this cost money. And I think to your
- 36:46point, the expensive thing right now is
- 36:50the framework, is the knowledge in
- 36:53certain domain. It's the understanding
- 36:55of how it should be followed and what
- 36:57good editing looks like and like how the
- 36:59animation should bounce in nicely and
- 37:01stuff like that. But yeah, this
- 37:03this is possible. Like I can add a
- 37:05narration to this or I can be super AI
- 37:07pulled give a level give an 11 Labs key
- 37:10and it could do that for me. So yeah,
- 37:12content has
- 37:14definitely changed for me in terms of
- 37:15like how I use AI with it.
- 37:17And this is how Grokbot is. Should I
- 37:19jump into business and finance?
- 37:21>> Let's do it.
- 37:22>> So one important bot that I have and
- 37:26some people might call me weird for
- 37:27this, but I have
- 37:30and where is it? I have an advisor bot.
- 37:32And hopefully it doesn't show any
- 37:33numbers here. Yes.
- 37:34So my advisor bot basically stops me
- 37:37from making bad decisions. So I have
- 37:41what do [snorts] they call this?
- 37:43Like you know like the syndrome where
- 37:44you see some shiny object syndrome. I
- 37:46have a bad case of shiny object
- 37:47syndrome. I think Greg knows this where
- 37:49like one day I'll be all about you know
- 37:52the space that we're in and I don't know
- 37:53why the next day I have an urge to start
- 37:55a trucking company or I have this urge
- 37:57to be a real estate mogul. Like it's
- 37:59it's very random or like I don't know
- 38:01like it's just the most random thing.
- 38:03And so I'll give my advisor bot like
- 38:07I'll see this and I was like oh,
- 38:09what do you think of this?
- 38:11Honestly, I wouldn't buy this right now.
- 38:13It doesn't say where you are this year.
- 38:15It's an investment building, not a house
- 38:17you're saving for. And it won't it
- 38:19wouldn't pull it would pull cash away
- 38:21from your other goals, right? It's
- 38:22telling me how you know bad it is to buy
- 38:25real estate in Canada. It's saying the
- 38:27rents are probably logged. It it even
- 38:29mentioned a red flag which I noticed.
- 38:31The seller apparently said unrepresented
- 38:34buyers only,
- 38:35which is like super sus. Like why can't
- 38:38I have representation?
- 38:40And it even says here the boiler and the
- 38:42furnace are from 2009. So So about 17
- 38:45years old. Budget for
- 38:47them in the next few years. So it's
- 38:49basically telling me this is a bad idea,
- 38:52right? And I need something like this to
- 38:55tell me that this is a bad idea. And the
- 38:57reason why this bot is effective is cuz
- 39:02under the finance tab I have business
- 39:04finance, personal finance,
- 39:05business investor, personal investor.
- 39:08And these bots basically have full
- 39:09access to my finances. The way I do it
- 39:12is there's this plugin. A lot of people
- 39:14don't know this. If you search finance
- 39:17and you click on it, I won't click on it
- 39:18cuz it'll show my bank accounts. It
- 39:20usually it just uses plaid. So you can
- 39:22connect your accounts via plaid,
- 39:24give it full access to this. Your bots
- 39:26look at your transactions and it will
- 39:27literally tell you like
- 39:29you can't afford this or this goes
- 39:32against your goals or you told me you
- 39:34wanted to save for this or you wanted to
- 39:36do this, right? So for someone like me
- 39:38who one day wants to own a trucking
- 39:40company, the next day wants to own a
- 39:41storage unit company and the next day
- 39:44wants to start a AI lab, like this is a
- 39:47great bot for me. Between my finances
- 39:49bot and my advisor bot,
- 39:52incredible. Um
- 39:54the I do have like a I'm trying to get
- 39:57it to government contracting. I'm
- 39:58probably not again. This is probably one
- 40:00of my shiny object object syndromes
- 40:02kicking in, Greg.
- 40:03Um but I have a couple bots that
- 40:05basically scan for contracts that the
- 40:08government in Canada has available and
- 40:11it's telling me oh and it knows about
- 40:13me, right? It has access to my business
- 40:14side. It has access to my finance. So
- 40:16it's saying oh yeah, this makes sense
- 40:17for you. This doesn't make sense for
- 40:18you. You might need to hire for this,
- 40:20right? So
- 40:21like once you've given it enough context
- 40:23through the connections and maybe giving
- 40:25it some data,
- 40:26like these are actually great like
- 40:30tools to bounce ideas off of. I would
- 40:32scroll up, but the advisor bot pulls
- 40:34numbers on some of the chats. There's
- 40:36some things where it literally tells me
- 40:37it's like
- 40:38you need to relax and focus on the main
- 40:40thing,
- 40:41which is like absolutely great advice
- 40:43that I hear from humans, but for some
- 40:45reason when I hear a bot, it hits a
- 40:47little harder.
- 40:48So
- 40:49this has a big win for me in terms of
- 40:52business and finance. And for me, this
- 40:55hits incredibly home because my business
- 40:57and finance is tied with engineering and
- 40:59design, right? So, I'm not just vibe
- 41:01building for the sake of vibes. Some of
- 41:03these are actually products that people
- 41:05have paid me to build. Some of these are
- 41:06products that maybe I want to raise
- 41:08money for. Maybe I want to sell to
- 41:10people, right? Um so because these
- 41:12things are tied, going back to your
- 41:14original question, Greg, this is why I
- 41:16use Grokbot. Cuz with Claude Core, when
- 41:18I spin up a new session, it has no idea
- 41:20that this is where my business is at,
- 41:22this is how much money the business is
- 41:24making, this is the type of customers we
- 41:25have. But Grokbot will make engineering
- 41:27decisions with the information it has on
- 41:31this side of the market.
- 41:33And this is what makes it to me
- 41:34absolutely incredible.
- 41:37Right? Like I asked it to build me uh a
- 41:40site one time for for a family friend,
- 41:43and it was like, oh, you had a design
- 41:45system in paper that you used for
- 41:47another family member one time. Do you
- 41:48want to use this one as well?
- 41:51Absolutely incredible because I did want
- 41:52to do that, and I didn't have to tell
- 41:54that, right? So, the more I'm using it,
- 41:56the more it's getting to know me, like
- 41:58the more productive it's starting to
- 42:00become for me when it comes to all these
- 42:02parts of my life because everything is
- 42:04related. Even my content and my
- 42:06engineering is related, right? The
- 42:07reason why I have to build apps that
- 42:09people use is so I can make content
- 42:11about building apps that people use,
- 42:12right? If I stop doing that, then my
- 42:15content goes stale, right? So, all of
- 42:17this is feeding into each other, and the
- 42:20only way I can have it under one surface
- 42:22is Grokbot.
- 42:24>> Dude, if you if you're listening to this
- 42:25and you
- 42:27ship ideas and you don't use Grokbot,
- 42:32>> And again,
- 42:32>> what's wrong with you.
- 42:33>> I'm not saying use Grokbot to build it.
- 42:36Use Grokbot to orchestrate it so it
- 42:38knows what's going on. That context is
- 42:40super super valuable. And finally, I'll
- 42:42just talk about shopping. This is um
- 42:45I am a a fiend for compute because uh
- 42:49some people want to take my computer
- 42:51away. So I've been trying to find uh
- 42:54places to buy
- 42:56uh compute. And it will like scour
- 42:58through eBay where it will look for
- 43:00listings where people are selling uh
- 43:03GPUs where the boxes are sealed, right?
- 43:07So I'm getting like I'm getting listings
- 43:09every single day. And
- 43:11I'll actually share the crazy story. I
- 43:13have a PS5 Pro that I bought recently
- 43:15because I want to play GTA VI.
- 43:17Um and you know who bought my PS5 Pro
- 43:20and negotiated for me and checked that
- 43:22it was viable, uh Greg?
- 43:24It was my Grok bot.
- 43:25Grok bot emailed the person who listed
- 43:27it on eBay, found out that it was a
- 43:29store in Ontario 2 hours away, gave me
- 43:32the number, gave me the script to talk
- 43:34to the person. Obviously I didn't use
- 43:35the script. Called the person,
- 43:37confirmed, uh I gave it access, it
- 43:39bought it for me. And now I have a PS5
- 43:41ready to play GTA VI when it comes out.
- 43:44Um another thing that I've been using it
- 43:46for super random, um I'm starting to
- 43:49experience a little sciatica pain and I
- 43:51need to choose.
- 43:53And I asked it um I actually asked it to
- 43:56find me a list of shoes. And then it
- 43:58did. And then I asked it to email my
- 44:00wife because she's my designer and
- 44:02stylist and I'm not allowed to pick the
- 44:05pieces of clothing I wear because
- 44:06apparently I have no sense of color and
- 44:08and taste when it comes to clothing. And
- 44:11she picked a couple and it sent me the
- 44:13list that she's okay with,
- 44:15right? So like these just mundane things
- 44:17like I want to buy new shoes that are
- 44:18good for my sciatica pain. I don't want
- 44:22to have to go on the site and then click
- 44:24here and click that. So to me, going
- 44:27even beyond everything else, Grok bot is
- 44:30my interface to the internet.
- 44:32I don't even go on pages as much
- 44:34anymore. I'll tell Grok bot to do it for
- 44:36me unless like I visibly need to be
- 44:39there like something like Twitter. So
- 44:41this is yeah, this is pretty much a
- 44:42rundown of how I spend
- 44:45probably the most time on on any given
- 44:48app um being productive, building stuff
- 44:51and and doing stuff, Greg.
- 44:53>> Dude, this has been insane.
- 44:55>> I know what I'm doing today. Uh,
- 44:58I'm I'm I'm literally just
- 45:00screenshotting or I'm sending this video
- 45:02to my Grokbot and being like I want
- 45:05>> That's the awesome part that you can
- 45:06give the video to your Grokbot. It'll
- 45:09pull the transcription and it'll do the
- 45:11stuff for you, right? It It It's
- 45:13incredible.
- 45:14>> So, thank you so much for coming on,
- 45:16sharing the sauce.
- 45:17I'll include links where you can follow
- 45:20Etsy's not on the internet, Ross Mike,
- 45:22uh,
- 45:23where you can follow him. You definitely
- 45:25should.
- 45:26Um, anything you want to leave people
- 45:28with?
- 45:29>> Yeah, um, one last thing I'll say is I I
- 45:32please think big. Like please just like
- 45:35now is like the time to actually try
- 45:37stuff. You know, before two, three years
- 45:39before you heard the motivational
- 45:41speeches, you got to be the the
- 45:43Screw all that. Like it's actually
- 45:45possible now. Like I we did a video not
- 45:48too long ago talking about uh, audio
- 45:50like in and hardware.
- 45:52Greg, I'm doing it.
- 45:54Look at look at like mind you forget the
- 45:56cream cheese sandwich, but I'm doing it.
- 45:59Like there's a Raspberry Pi, there's
- 46:00speakers there. I am not a hardware guy,
- 46:03right? But like I'm actually building
- 46:05something that works and I I I I don't
- 46:09know what I'm doing, but I'm literally
- 46:10going back and forth with AI asking, how
- 46:12do I do this? How do I connect this? Oh,
- 46:14I need this chip. I need this memory
- 46:16card. I need this peripheral and I am
- 46:18putting it together and not only am I
- 46:20having the time of my life, but like I
- 46:22now have the ability to like the ideas
- 46:25that used to be stuck here, I have no
- 46:27excuse to bring them out now. So, my
- 46:29message to everyone is just just try,
- 46:31man. Like like just just actually just
- 46:34ask the agent and just try like
- 46:37this is by far I know there's a lot of
- 46:39doomerism, but the fact that you have
- 46:41intelligence for $200 a month
- 46:43is absolutely incredible. You owe it to
- 46:45yourself and your generations. That's
- 46:47all I got to say.
- 46:48>> and it's easy to fall for the doomerism
- 46:50because there's so much negativity on
- 46:52the internet.
- 46:53>> Yeah.
- 46:53>> Uh,
- 46:54and I think it the important thing is
- 46:56just
- 46:57a part of it is sort of like a mental
- 46:58battle of being like, you know what? I
- 47:00believe when Mickey says that this is
- 47:03the time and he shows me like, you know,
- 47:05all the things I can do. I I I believe
- 47:07that I could create something that
- 47:09people could want. And even though
- 47:11people
- 47:13say SaaS is dead or software is dead or
- 47:16this person just got lucky, you know,
- 47:18for for hitting it big on this app and
- 47:20it can never be me,
- 47:22you know, you got to It's like that
- 47:23image of the horse with blinders on
- 47:25running a race. You got to just put the
- 47:27blinders on
- 47:29and
- 47:30and get get to work.
- 47:32>> I mean, listen, at the end of the day,
- 47:33whatever you say will be true, right?
- 47:34There was a quite a bit of time like I
- 47:37mean, Greg, you remember when you first
- 47:38had me on the chat, I had like 8K subs,
- 47:40right? Like I was working a corporate
- 47:42job. Like I was like it was it was
- 47:44stuff was pretty tight, but I just I had
- 47:46this very delusional belief that like,
- 47:49yeah, I'm going to make something
- 47:50happen. And I didn't even think it was
- 47:52YouTube. I was really doing YouTube for
- 47:54fun. And I remember when Greg DM me, I
- 47:56thought I was being scammed. I thought
- 47:57it was like a bot. Like I didn't respond
- 47:59right away if you look at the time
- 48:00difference cuz I had to confirm whether
- 48:02it was him or not or whether I was being
- 48:03fished. So like like like and that was
- 48:06then and like this is now and it's like
- 48:09yes, there's a lot of craziness
- 48:10happening, but like I think if you focus
- 48:12on you and your house and you do what's
- 48:14best for you and yours and you implement
- 48:17the stuff that's available and you just
- 48:18try cuz even if it doesn't work out, you
- 48:20at least try and for that you're a
- 48:22legend. So please try at least before
- 48:25the subsidies end.
- 48:26>> [laughter]
- 48:27>> I'll catch you next time, my man.
- 48:29>> Have a good one, everybody. Thank you so
- 48:30much, Greg, for having me on.
