  1. 0:00I got good news for you. So there's a
  2. 0:01way to use Grokbot so that you can have
  3. 0:04your own design team, engineering team,
  4. 0:06content team, personal shopping team,
  5. 0:08business team. And by the end of this
  6. 0:10episode, we are going to show you how to
  7. 0:12use it so you can set it up
  8. 0:14today on your own. This could be one of
  9. 0:17the most important videos I've done in a
  10. 0:18long time because I believe that Grokbot
  11. 0:21is a new interface to the internet. Now,
  12. 0:24how can you actually set this up today?
  13. 0:27Like right now. How can you set it up?
  14. 0:29In today's episode, I have my friend
  15. 0:31Ross Mike. He's literally one of the
  16. 0:32best explainers of AI on the internet.
  17. 0:35He comes on, he shares exactly how he's
  18. 0:38using Grokbot and how you can copy it
  19. 0:40today. [music]
  20. 0:41So I think this is a very important
  21. 0:42episode because there isn't a de facto
  22. 0:45master class for Grokbot using AI
  23. 0:48agents, how it plays in the whole
  24. 0:50ecosystem. [music]
  25. 0:51And you're going to get it explained to
  26. 0:52you by literally one of the best
  27. 0:54explainers of AI in the internet, my
  28. 0:56friend Ross [music] Mike. Stoked to have
  29. 0:58him. Let's get into it.
  30. 1:00>> The startup [singing] I just
  31. 1:02podcast.
  32. 1:02[music]
  33. 1:04Sipping time, baby.
  34. 1:07>> What's up, Mickey? By the end of this
  35. 1:09podcast, what are people going to learn?
  36. 1:11>> You're going to learn how to be a
  37. 1:12Grokbot maxi. Like it's the only
  38. 1:14personal agent that I've used and not
  39. 1:16only as a personal agent, but as an
  40. 1:18orchestrator to do a lot of great work.
  41. 1:20It's by far in my humble opinion the
  42. 1:22best one. And you're going to learn how
  43. 1:24I maximize and how you too can maximize
  44. 1:26it to the fullest.
  45. 1:28>> Okay, so by the end of it, you're going
  46. 1:30to show clear examples and which
  47. 1:31categories and can you commit to
  48. 1:34basically, if people stick around to the
  49. 1:36end, that they'll be basically be able
  50. 1:38to copy what you're doing, implement it
  51. 1:40in their daily lives, and good stuff
  52. 1:42will happen?
  53. 1:43>> Yeah, if and if I don't, if like if I
  54. 1:45don't fulfill the promise, I will come
  55. 1:47to your house and make you hot cocoa.
  56. 1:50[laughter]
  57. 1:52Let's do it.
  58. 1:53So I'm going to share my screen.
  59. 1:55There's some different ways that I use
  60. 1:57Grokbot and I'm just going to basically
  61. 1:58share like how it in engineering,
  62. 2:00design, content ideation. I know this is
  63. 2:03a startup ideas podcast. We're going to
  64. 2:04talk a little bit about business and
  65. 2:05finance. And the last one is the most
  66. 2:07interesting one is shopping. So I'm
  67. 2:09going to get straight into engineering.
  68. 2:11I'm just going to show you examples,
  69. 2:13right? So the one thing that I really
  70. 2:15like about Grokbot and I will like maybe
  71. 2:17zoom in so you can see it. I have
  72. 2:20multiple bots for specific projects. Now
  73. 2:24what's interesting about Grokbot and I
  74. 2:25think they're the ones who innovated on
  75. 2:27this, instead of having um multiple
  76. 2:30threads with like the same like agent,
  77. 2:33um they sort of architected these like
  78. 2:36bots which are basically contextual,
  79. 2:38have sort of their own set of skills and
  80. 2:40its own computer. And I find that like
  81. 2:44from an architectural perspective, I
  82. 2:45don't know if it's better um doing it
  83. 2:47like the chat GBT way or the way Grokbot
  84. 2:49does it, but mentally for me, I love the
  85. 2:52bot system. And the reason why is I
  86. 2:55basically now have like each bot
  87. 2:57contextualized to a specific piece of
  88. 2:59work, right? So when I'm working on
  89. 3:01let's say my Bezalel app or I'm working
  90. 3:03on my Bible app, I know exactly what I'm
  91. 3:06working on. So like even mentally for
  92. 3:08me, this like contextual block really
  93. 3:10helps. But for engineering, the way I
  94. 3:13usually work is I have an engineering
  95. 3:15bot and this bot has context to all my
  96. 3:18projects. And I'll usually shoot ideas.
  97. 3:21Like for example, like like a random
  98. 3:24idea that I have no knowledge about that
  99. 3:26I'll show you guys in a second.
  100. 3:29So I have this bot called AI Governance
  101. 3:32bid uh Greg and this is basically a
  102. 3:34friend of mine who works in the States
  103. 3:36told me that he does government
  104. 3:38contracting and he's in AI governance,
  105. 3:40right? And as someone who's heavily in
  106. 3:43AI, um the term AI and governance put
  107. 3:46together sounded interesting. So I asked
  108. 3:48my Grokbot, can you find some uh like
  109. 3:52bids that exist um you know that the
  110. 3:54government has for AI governance? And it
  111. 3:56started to work and it did that. And
  112. 3:59what's also interesting is I asked my
  113. 4:01engineering bot to work on a simple AI
  114. 4:04governance app. And I I did this at
  115. 4:07night. I woke up and I'm going to show
  116. 4:10you the app that it created for me.
  117. 4:12The app that it created, if I go to my
  118. 4:14GitHub repo,
  119. 4:15is this right here. Goshen ashore, AI
  120. 4:19governance compliance platform
  121. 4:22proprietary to Goshen Labs Inc. Now, do
  122. 4:25I have a clue how any of this works?
  123. 4:27Absolutely not. I have no idea. I
  124. 4:30haven't even run this. But the reason
  125. 4:32why I share this is when it comes to
  126. 4:34engineering, one of the best things that
  127. 4:35you could do with a Grok bot is
  128. 4:37literally just share with it your random
  129. 4:39ideas. Whatever ideas you have, whatever
  130. 4:41information you have, literally tell
  131. 4:43your Grok bot, like if you have an
  132. 4:44engineer bot, you can create one, and
  133. 4:46tell it just make this, give me
  134. 4:48something that works, push to my GitHub,
  135. 4:50and I'll check it later. So now, Greg, I
  136. 4:53have an abundance of ideas always being
  137. 4:56worked on. But those are just ideas.
  138. 4:58Let's talk about actual like shipping uh
  139. 5:01product, shipping projects. I'll give
  140. 5:03you a very clear example. Pluto is one
  141. 5:05of my apps that I've been working on for
  142. 5:07some time, and we're doing a slight
  143. 5:09pivot. And the pivot is basically we
  144. 5:11want to be able for people to use Pluto,
  145. 5:14and then with the data that like is in
  146. 5:16the Pluto app in their instance, for
  147. 5:18them to be able to fine-tune like a base
  148. 5:20model like Coin, right? This was just an
  149. 5:24idea. Now, I worked on this idea with a
  150. 5:26friend. We went back and forth, and
  151. 5:29basically he he used Claude code to
  152. 5:32create a PDF.
  153. 5:33And I downloaded that PDF, and I just
  154. 5:36gave it to my agent. I literally just
  155. 5:38said review this. I didn't tell it build
  156. 5:39this, I didn't say do this. I just said
  157. 5:42review it. Look what it says here. It
  158. 5:43says I read it, review the key decisions
  159. 5:45written, anything had to change. And
  160. 5:46then it's a good direction, but I
  161. 5:48wouldn't approve the build plan
  162. 5:49unchanged. It gave me issues as to why
  163. 5:53um there's some issues with the build
  164. 5:54plan, and it gave me some recommendation
  165. 5:57scope. I said this thing is mandatory,
  166. 5:59and then it's an understood I'll go with
  167. 6:01this core offering. And then I even
  168. 6:03shared with it a tweet asked if someone
  169. 6:06ask you for the type of product I wanted
  170. 6:07to build.
  171. 6:08It did that. It took the information I
  172. 6:11gave it and then it gave me a better
  173. 6:14plan as to how we should go about
  174. 6:16building this, right? And then you know
  175. 6:18what's crazy? I literally sent this to
  176. 6:20my friend and he gave me a response. You
  177. 6:22know what I did with the response? I
  178. 6:24copy pasted it. This was literally his
  179. 6:26response.
  180. 6:27Cuz you could see he uses my name here.
  181. 6:29And then I pasted it and then it worked
  182. 6:32and it it it's like okay 70% threshold
  183. 6:35blah blah blah and then it gave me a new
  184. 6:36plan. And this time so this is where I
  185. 6:39actually stepped in and I reviewed the
  186. 6:41plan and I'm like oh this is excellent.
  187. 6:43So guess what I told her Greg? Build it
  188. 6:44out. Now here's how I use Grok bot. Now
  189. 6:48you might some people might call me a
  190. 6:50subscription maxi.
  191. 6:52To me personally if you're watching this
  192. 6:53podcast you should 100% take advantage
  193. 6:56of the subscriptions available. The
  194. 6:58Cloud Code $200 month plan gets you
  195. 7:00anywhere between $8,000 to $12,000 worth
  196. 7:03of API token credits. In my humble
  197. 7:06opinion unless you're in dire financial
  198. 7:08need it seems irresponsible to not
  199. 7:11pay for that and take advantage until
  200. 7:14the wheels fall off. So I have Grok bot
  201. 7:17connected to Cloud Code and I use Grok
  202. 7:19bot as an orchestrator because Opus 55
  203. 7:22is still the most incredible model when
  204. 7:24it comes to engineering but I love using
  205. 7:26Grok bot as a orchestrator. So I
  206. 7:29literally look the most basic prompts
  207. 7:31you know back in the day we used to
  208. 7:32worry about prompt engineering. Now I
  209. 7:33just tell it how I feel. Build out
  210. 7:35everything use Cloud Code with Ultra
  211. 7:37Code Opus 55. If you need multiple
  212. 7:39sessions go ahead slash goal.
  213. 7:42And then it went on for hours. You could
  214. 7:44see this is yesterday. And then look
  215. 7:46what I got. I got
  216. 7:48working PRs.
  217. 7:50Working PRs five out of five PRs.
  218. 7:52And now I have people testing the
  219. 7:53feature.
  220. 7:55Right? So
  221. 7:56>> You could I see like you're using Grok
  222. 7:59bot to orchestrate. You could
  223. 8:01theoretically use
  224. 8:02Cloud Code, Codex.
  225. 8:05Like why especially you like you're an
  226. 8:07engineer, like why, why use Grokbot?
  227. 8:10>> The UX win from Grokbot is absolutely
  228. 8:14incredible. Like for me, like
  229. 8:18if I'm in like I use T3 code to use
  230. 8:20Claude code cuz I have multiple
  231. 8:21subscriptions and I use Codex as well.
  232. 8:24But the one benefit that Grokbot has is
  233. 8:27just and I'm telling you people, if you
  234. 8:29haven't tried it, you should try it. The
  235. 8:31UX feel, meaning like I can feel like I
  236. 8:34was I was in my mom's house yesterday,
  237. 8:36you know, we were having dinner um once
  238. 8:38a week I go to my mom's house to have
  239. 8:40dinner. Can I tell you I was crushing
  240. 8:42PRs
  241. 8:43using [snorts]
  242. 8:44state-of-the-art models
  243. 8:46from my phone with an app that actually
  244. 8:49feels good to use, right? And this is
  245. 8:51the problem with like if you use the
  246. 8:53ChatGPT app, you get a bunch of threats.
  247. 8:55The threats get mixed up on one thread
  248. 8:57I'm working on one project, the other
  249. 8:58thread. But because I'm talking to bots,
  250. 9:01because I'm talking to bots and the bot
  251. 9:03is named and it's clear and has context,
  252. 9:05like it's more of a feeling and a vibe,
  253. 9:08but the UX gains I've gone from using
  254. 9:10Grokbot to orchestrate my Claude code
  255. 9:13sessions has been incredible, right? So
  256. 9:16it's not even like a like oh I could
  257. 9:18just directly use Claude code, yes, but
  258. 9:21I am telling you I am more productive
  259. 9:23going back and forth with Grokbot,
  260. 9:25especially when I'm managing multiple
  261. 9:26projects cuz at the same time while
  262. 9:29doing this, I'm working on a project
  263. 9:31called VP Cloud. And VP Cloud is
  264. 9:33basically uh a Canadian sovereign cloud,
  265. 9:37meaning all the like you know a Vercel,
  266. 9:39whatever like deploy your AI models,
  267. 9:41whatever completely in on on GPUs that
  268. 9:44live in Canada. Am I a for a guy? Am I a
  269. 9:47cloud guy? Do I understand these things
  270. 9:49at a base level? Sure. Would I write
  271. 9:51code by hand to build this stuff? No.
  272. 9:53What do I do? I literally get Grokbot to
  273. 9:56spin a bunch of sessions, but not only
  274. 9:58that uh maybe
  275. 10:00I can show this, but
  276. 10:03not only did Grokbot build out the app,
  277. 10:06Grokbot is currently doing the
  278. 10:08negotiation with one of the GPU
  279. 10:09providers here in Canada. So I can maybe
  280. 10:12share the email a little bit. Uh I don't
  281. 10:15know if I can show the entire thing. Let
  282. 10:17me find
  283. 10:17>> while you're pulling that up, I think a
  284. 10:19a brand new feature of Grokbot, I think
  285. 10:21it just launched, is the ability to call
  286. 10:24using Grokbot. Did you see that?
  287. 10:26>> Yeah, which is incredible. Fortunately
  288. 10:28not um not available to us Canadians. Um
  289. 10:31I can't find maybe it called it used one
  290. 10:33of my other bots, but the my VP Cloud
  291. 10:36Project bot called one of told one of my
  292. 10:39other bots to email the provider to see
  293. 10:41if I can get a discount. He even
  294. 10:43mentioned that I was a YouTuber and I
  295. 10:44have this many subs and I can say it's
  296. 10:46powered by this.
  297. 10:48I didn't tell it to do that. I didn't
  298. 10:50give it that idea. It literally just
  299. 10:52said all the costs are a little too high
  300. 10:54compared to the American equivalents.
  301. 10:56Maybe we can get a discount. And this is
  302. 10:58the part of merging my engineering work
  303. 11:01with a personal agent that makes sense
  304. 11:03cuz with Claude Code I'm just getting
  305. 11:05straight engineering, right? With
  306. 11:06Grokbot I can have similar access to the
  307. 11:10beast of an engineer that Claude Code is
  308. 11:12plus the personal side of a personal
  309. 11:14agent like being able to send out
  310. 11:16emails, negotiate for me, request
  311. 11:18refunds, right? So the reason why I'm
  312. 11:21using Grokbot versus straight Claude
  313. 11:23Code uh Greg is the UX and the fact that
  314. 11:26the personal agent can handle business
  315. 11:28side as well.
  316. 11:29Uh multiple apps, my Bible app, uh
  317. 11:32terminal. Do you know what terminal is
  318. 11:33uh Greg? You'll actually find this so
  319. 11:35funny.
  320. 11:36Terminal
  321. 11:37is the trading app I built because I
  322. 11:39like how Bloomberg looks, but I don't
  323. 11:42feel like spending $30,000 on a on a on
  324. 11:44a Bloomberg terminal. So I built
  325. 11:47something snappy.
  326. 11:48Like this is pretty snappy and
  327. 11:50>> Mhm.
  328. 11:50>> and not only that, it actually works. I
  329. 11:52can switch to live, connect my brokerage
  330. 11:54account and lose money right now live. I
  331. 11:57could do that.
  332. 11:58I wrote I built this using Rust, meaning
  333. 12:00it is super performance, super fast.
  334. 12:02Like you can see how snappy this is.
  335. 12:05Um
  336. 12:06I didn't write a single line of code. I
  337. 12:08didn't go to Claude Code. I literally
  338. 12:10kept telling Grokbot exactly what to do,
  339. 12:13right? And even now like we're um there
  340. 12:16is this exchange um I'm not a big I'm
  341. 12:19not a big fan of promoting crypto but
  342. 12:20there's a crypto exchange that has a
  343. 12:22really
  344. 12:23great way of being able to uh have
  345. 12:25synthetic stocks. So not the actual
  346. 12:27stock but a a token that mirrors the
  347. 12:29stock and their project's open source
  348. 12:31and all that stuff. So you know what I
  349. 12:33did? I asked my Grokbot I'm like
  350. 12:35um oh look at this yeah side quest. How
  351. 12:38would it look like to build our own
  352. 12:39crypto and stock server node? I want to
  353. 12:41build a synthetic I want to build
  354. 12:43synthetic stocks for the entire market.
  355. 12:44What would that look like? Spin up a new
  356. 12:46bot that I can chat with.
  357. 12:48And then it set up a new bot called
  358. 12:49exchange.
  359. 12:51And
  360. 12:52um it told me legalities this this that
  361. 12:54and that and I'm saying I look look what
  362. 12:56I said I'm not asking you to be
  363. 12:57realistic nor am I asking you to swap
  364. 12:59what we built for Hyperliquid. I want us
  365. 13:01to build something novel. I want us to
  366. 13:03build an engine whatever it is where we
  367. 13:04can like so I'm literally just talking
  368. 13:07to the way I would talk to another
  369. 13:08person. No fancy prompt trick or
  370. 13:11anything like that.
  371. 13:12And then it came up with a plan. Now
  372. 13:14these artifacts are probably one of my
  373. 13:15favorite feature cuz visually it's easy
  374. 13:18for me to just go through this and
  375. 13:19understand what it's talking about. I
  376. 13:21breezed through it. I liked it. I was
  377. 13:23like okay fire.
  378. 13:25You see that prompt engineering grant?
  379. 13:26Fire.
  380. 13:27>> Mhm.
  381. 13:27>> Spin up the VPS clock so I have a VPS
  382. 13:30connected to my network. So I said spin
  383. 13:33up the VPS I I should have said in the
  384. 13:34VPS but it understood me. Cloud code
  385. 13:36ultra code Opus 55 with tons of Sun
  386. 13:39eight sub ages to get this done.
  387. 13:41Now six years ago is this an accept like
  388. 13:43sorry six months ago would this be an
  389. 13:45acceptable prompt?
  390. 13:47>> Absolutely
  391. 13:49>> Absolutely not. Now like it goes on
  392. 13:52building building and then now we're I'm
  393. 13:54trying to figure out what like hosting
  394. 13:56provider I can um
  395. 13:58uh deploy this on.
  396. 14:00Right like so in terms of engineering
  397. 14:03like the best workflow I I would I would
  398. 14:05share is
  399. 14:07I don't think Grokbot alone is is great
  400. 14:09for engineering. So the way I would look
  401. 14:11at it is I 'm using Grokbot and I'm
  402. 14:13giving Grokbot access to Claude Code.
  403. 14:17And the reason why I'm picking Claude
  404. 14:19Code over Codex is first and foremost
  405. 14:21Opus 55 is the better model. This could
  406. 14:23change if if OpenAI drops a better
  407. 14:25model, we'll probably flip. But right
  408. 14:27now the subsidies are just like like
  409. 14:31like you're getting $200 $200
  410. 14:33subscription, you're getting like $8,000
  411. 14:35worth of API credits, right? So if $200
  412. 14:38doesn't hurt the bank,
  413. 14:40it is absolutely irresponsible to not
  414. 14:42take advantage of this subsidy while it
  415. 14:44lasts. Um now someone might be asking
  416. 14:46how am I using how have I connected
  417. 14:48GrokBot to Claude Code? There's two easy
  418. 14:51ways to do There's two ways to do it.
  419. 14:53The easy way and the way I've done it.
  420. 14:55The easy way is every bot um has a
  421. 14:58computer,
  422. 14:59right? So you can literally tell it,
  423. 15:01hey, log into Claude Code on your
  424. 15:03computer and it can access it via that.
  425. 15:05I have a network of machines that I've
  426. 15:07connected via Tailscale. I use T3 Code
  427. 15:11and because T3 Code is already set up,
  428. 15:13every time I tell GrokBot to use uh
  429. 15:15Claude Code, it just spins up a T T3
  430. 15:18Code instance. Now here's the thing,
  431. 15:19someone might be like, oh, but you
  432. 15:21didn't explain how to set up the T3 Code
  433. 15:23thing or what if I just want to use
  434. 15:24Claude Code? I completely understand
  435. 15:26that. Ask your agent cuz that's what I
  436. 15:29did. I'm not a networking guy, Greg. I
  437. 15:31don't know. Maybe I can show it right
  438. 15:32here. You can see like I have a like a
  439. 15:34rig here with a bunch of computers. My
  440. 15:37laptop's podcast I can't show.
  441. 15:39All that's connected. I have multiple
  442. 15:41agents working. How does the networking
  443. 15:43work? How like I don't I I'm not a
  444. 15:46networking guy. But the models have gone
  445. 15:49so good. If you can think it and it's
  446. 15:51possible and it's been done, just ask
  447. 15:54the model how and you will literally get
  448. 15:56it done. So
  449. 15:57that's kind of how I've been using it
  450. 15:59for engineering, segmenting each project
  451. 16:01into its own bot if it's serious enough,
  452. 16:03going back and forth, getting my GrokBot
  453. 16:06to spin up Claude Code sessions. Now can
  454. 16:08you go directly to Claude Code? Yes. Why
  455. 16:10am I using GrokBot? I love the UX and
  456. 16:13the feeling and I feel super productive
  457. 16:15and my phone actually feels useful And
  458. 16:18even like without like they you can call
  459. 16:21the bot directly. So I'll be driving,
  460. 16:23I'll put the bot on speaker um and I'll
  461. 16:26I can like talk with it and it can get
  462. 16:28work done, right? And before it was like
  463. 16:30a gimmick, but now like this is
  464. 16:32genuinely something useful to me. So
  465. 16:35this is what I've been doing with the
  466. 16:36engineering side. Um let me know Greg if
  467. 16:39I missed anything or any questions
  468. 16:40arise.
  469. 16:42>> So
  470. 16:43it's easy to fall into the trap of
  471. 16:46having too many bots. Like
  472. 16:49>> Yes.
  473. 16:51>> I you know you you showed an example of
  474. 16:52like spin up a bot for you know
  475. 16:56exchange.
  476. 16:56>> Mhm.
  477. 16:57>> Um
  478. 16:58are you saying the most
  479. 17:00optimal way to use Grok bot is basically
  480. 17:03to just spin up bots per project and
  481. 17:07like cuz I've seen other people have
  482. 17:09like per employee, per jobs to be done.
  483. 17:12Like it's kind of a spectrum, right? Um
  484. 17:15what's your
  485. 17:16>> yeah the way I would think about it is
  486. 17:18like like context is my decider, right?
  487. 17:20So if for example like if you notice I
  488. 17:23have an engineer bot, but then I have
  489. 17:25bots for separate projects. Now the
  490. 17:27reason why I have an engineer bot is
  491. 17:28some things, some ideas, for example uh
  492. 17:32let me see if I can pull this up here. I
  493. 17:35have this
  494. 17:36widget right here or this extension
  495. 17:37called Still and it basically just takes
  496. 17:40screenshots.
  497. 17:41This was two prompts with my Grok bot.
  498. 17:44This does not deserve its own bot. So I
  499. 17:47have a general engineering bot for
  500. 17:49random ideas,
  501. 17:51but for anything that I deem serious or
  502. 17:53I want to launch to people or like I
  503. 17:57want to continue to working on to work
  504. 17:59on, that will get its own bot. But guess
  505. 18:02what happens once something is useless?
  506. 18:04I right click and I delete.
  507. 18:06So I am not afraid to delete bots that
  508. 18:08have like not served their purpose. Like
  509. 18:10for example um there's just like Toronto
  510. 18:12curriculum bill whatever whatever. This
  511. 18:14is over. Delete.
  512. 18:16Done.
  513. 18:17Right? So
  514. 18:18you can get into bot fatigue where have
  515. 18:2115 different bots for 15 different
  516. 18:23things. I think when I want to divide my
  517. 18:26mind into different groups because
  518. 18:27something requires my attention, that's
  519. 18:30when it becomes like a bot. So Pluto is
  520. 18:32an important project. I I'm taking it
  521. 18:34seriously. Deserves its own bot. The
  522. 18:36Bible app, I'm really having fun with
  523. 18:37this, deserves its own bot. Bezalel,
  524. 18:40believe it or not Greg, I'm at $200 MRR,
  525. 18:42deserves its own bot. Terminal will
  526. 18:45probably get deleted in two days. I'm
  527. 18:46going to be honest with you. Same with
  528. 18:48Exchange, right?
  529. 18:50So I'm cycling through these different
  530. 18:52bots
  531. 18:54on the regular. But there's some
  532. 18:55permanent ones I have. For example, IT,
  533. 18:57which I don't think I'll open because
  534. 18:58it'll leak some IP addresses, is like
  535. 19:00manages my fleet.
  536. 19:02ML
  537. 19:03basically handles all my local model
  538. 19:05stuff, right? Downloading models,
  539. 19:07fine-tuning models, and all that stuff.
  540. 19:09And I can get into that as well. I have
  541. 19:10been fine-tuning models using Grokbot,
  542. 19:13right? My content stuff I'm usually like
  543. 19:16I'm
  544. 19:17content all the time, content now. So
  545. 19:20those bots only. So I would say as long
  546. 19:22as there's a huge amount of context
  547. 19:24regarding a certain task, maybe that
  548. 19:26dictates its own bot. But the moment
  549. 19:29something's useless,
  550. 19:30delete it cuz that's what I do.
  551. 19:33>> And okay, we'll we'll actually we'll get
  552. 19:35into it later. Before we move on to
  553. 19:39I was going to ask a question, but we'll
  554. 19:40get into it on the content once we get
  555. 19:41into content.
  556. 19:43I will ask before before we move on
  557. 19:46around just cuz people are going to say,
  558. 19:48okay, great. This guy's like shipping a
  559. 19:50bunch of projects, but like I haven't
  560. 19:52seen security anywhere. How do I know
  561. 19:54that these projects are secure?
  562. 19:56What's your response to that?
  563. 19:58>> So
  564. 20:00the I and the reason why I didn't share
  565. 20:02this is I have access to an obliterated
  566. 20:05model,
  567. 20:06which is basically a model where the
  568. 20:08guard rails are removed. So it's a
  569. 20:10really really bad model. It could be a
  570. 20:11really really bad model, but a lot of
  571. 20:14companies use it to defend themselves,
  572. 20:16right? Like the open code, the railways.
  573. 20:19I don't think they have they might have
  574. 20:20had access to Mythos or Daybreak, but um
  575. 20:23lot of companies are using obliterated
  576. 20:24model. So I can't really show that part
  577. 20:27here because like, you know, science
  578. 20:28stuff, but I do run an obliterated model
  579. 20:30against all my uh against all my apps.
  580. 20:34But in terms of how would you handle
  581. 20:37like security is I would get whatever
  582. 20:40best model you have access to and then I
  583. 20:42would run slash goal and then I would
  584. 20:44say do security checks. Now the annoying
  585. 20:47part is both Claude and Codex might
  586. 20:51block you at times. Ask to like they
  587. 20:53might say like oh like cuz they they
  588. 20:55think you're trying to trick them. And
  589. 20:57the way you would handle that is you
  590. 20:59would spin up a new thread and reword
  591. 21:01your prompt differently. It is a bit of
  592. 21:04a headache, but you owe it to the people
  593. 21:06that are going to use your app if
  594. 21:07payments are involved, if sensitive user
  595. 21:09information is involved. Now there are
  596. 21:11some apps where security doesn't really
  597. 21:13matter. For example, my uh Bible app is
  598. 21:16a free app. There's no login. Everything
  599. 21:19is synced. Um like the reason why I made
  600. 21:21it is cuz I wanted to have no ads and I
  601. 21:23wanted to be super super fast, right? So
  602. 21:25there's nothing really to hack there,
  603. 21:27right? But for apps that are really
  604. 21:29really serious, like for example, um
  605. 21:31like Pluto um is a pretty serious app. I
  606. 21:34have an obliterated model running in the
  607. 21:36background always doing loops. Um I can
  608. 21:39also tell Grokbot to do security review
  609. 21:41for me. Like listen, anything you want
  610. 21:42done you can ask Grokbot to do for you.
  611. 21:45Um but like I don't do that personally
  612. 21:47because I haven't access to an
  613. 21:48obliterated model. Um yeah, I hope that
  614. 21:51sort of answers the question.
  615. 21:53>> Perfect.
  616. 21:54>> Yeah.
  617. 21:54>> All right, [snorts] let's move on to how
  618. 21:55else you're using Grokbot.
  619. 21:57>> design. And design's going to be pretty
  620. 21:58short. Um I use a tool called Paper.
  621. 22:03Paper is like Figma. I know the designer
  622. 22:05people might roast me for this. I
  623. 22:06apologize. Listen, I don't know what any
  624. 22:08of these different tools in terms of
  625. 22:10design things do. But what I love about
  626. 22:12Paper is the MCP's amazing. So Paper has
  627. 22:15this MCP. You connect it to your agent.
  628. 22:18How do you con how do I connect it to my
  629. 22:19agent, Mike? Ask your agent. I have
  630. 22:21Paper installed, connect to the MCP.
  631. 22:23That's simple.
  632. 22:24And what like the workflow that I have,
  633. 22:26and I did a whole video on this, is I
  634. 22:29actually I'll show you a live example.
  635. 22:32I have my Twitter
  636. 22:36is
  637. 22:37maybe we can get lucky. My Twitter is
  638. 22:40filled with people
  639. 22:42who are good at design. So like for
  640. 22:43example, this is like you know some
  641. 22:45beautiful design inspo.
  642. 22:47Um
  643. 22:49okay, none of the designers like okay,
  644. 22:50this is oh Quinn's about to drop
  645. 22:52something beautifully designed. So I
  646. 22:54have like a lot of design uh
  647. 22:57esque like Twitter follow like people
  648. 22:59that I follow. And then I also use
  649. 23:01something like Mobbin. It's just a
  650. 23:02resource, a reference of all beautifully
  651. 23:05designed websites. So literally what I
  652. 23:07will do is I will like take a screenshot
  653. 23:11of this right here and then I will tell
  654. 23:14my agent hey like I really like this.
  655. 23:16Can you build this on paper? And an
  656. 23:19example I can give you
  657. 23:21is
  658. 23:22I'm building a Shopify store for my
  659. 23:24brother's clothing brand. And
  660. 23:27let me see.
  661. 23:30Um
  662. 23:31yeah, so he gave me some of his designs
  663. 23:33and I said oh these are the designs. I'm
  664. 23:35like can you create a clean site and
  665. 23:37design and the design of the Pluto
  666. 23:39design system display my brother's
  667. 23:40clothing, right? So like pretty terrible
  668. 23:42prompt again. And it asked me a bunch of
  669. 23:44questions, what mood I was looking for.
  670. 23:46And it used Framer at first because I
  671. 23:48had Framer connected. Um but I didn't
  672. 23:50want it to use Framer. I wanted to use
  673. 23:52Shopify. So after a couple back and
  674. 23:53forths um it sent me a design and this
  675. 23:57is what it sent me on
  676. 23:58on paper.
  677. 23:59So I have this created and
  678. 24:02just to show you that I'm not a poser AI
  679. 24:04designer, I really use paper a lot. So
  680. 24:07like I'll copy like a website that I
  681. 24:10really like and I'll tell of my bot
  682. 24:13create a design system using this site
  683. 24:15as reference, right? So I'm not
  684. 24:17blatantly copying someone's site. I'm
  685. 24:19asking my agent to build a design system
  686. 24:22and then I'll tweak the design system.
  687. 24:24And for people who don't know what a
  688. 24:24design system is, it's basically a
  689. 24:26guidebook that a designer creates for
  690. 24:29developers. In this case, we're creating
  691. 24:30it for our agents, right? So, we're
  692. 24:32telling the agent, this is the font it
  693. 24:34needs to use, these are the colors, this
  694. 24:36is the typography, these are the
  695. 24:37different sizes we allow, this is the
  696. 24:39spacing, the shape, this is how rounded
  697. 24:42we want the squares, this is how big the
  698. 24:44buttons are, the cards are. This is
  699. 24:45actually a site, I think one of Riley's
  700. 24:47sites that I literally I loved so much
  701. 24:49that I asked it to create a design
  702. 24:50system. And then throughout like my
  703. 24:53different projects, I'll ask
  704. 24:55um I'll ask my bot to reference, right?
  705. 24:58So, in this case, I wanted a Gothic
  706. 25:00look, like a Christian Gothic look, and
  707. 25:04it created that. Let me go to this tab
  708. 25:06right here.
  709. 25:08Where was my paper? Yeah, it
  710. 25:10created that. And then guess what I told
  711. 25:12it, Greg, after that? I told it to
  712. 25:15uh build the front end. I asked it, how
  713. 25:16can I have this be a front end on
  714. 25:18Shopify? Cuz I didn't even know if you
  715. 25:20could customize front ends on Shopify. I
  716. 25:21haven't used Shopify in a very long
  717. 25:22time. Um and while I was doing that, by
  718. 25:25the way, it reminded me of Greg's pod.
  719. 25:28So, I connected my Shopify account and
  720. 25:31in literally a few minutes, went back
  721. 25:34and forth with the design
  722. 25:35and
  723. 25:37if I open this right here,
  724. 25:40>> Mm.
  725. 25:41>> has it built out?
  726. 25:42Right? So,
  727. 25:43>> our our Shopify templates dead?
  728. 25:45Like if you
  729. 25:46>> mean like cuz yeah, I remember I
  730. 25:48remember a time I had a friend who was
  731. 25:49making a lot of money customizing them.
  732. 25:52You I basically built it out on paper.
  733. 25:55Uh well, I don't I I don't even feel
  734. 25:56comfortable saying I built it out. My
  735. 25:57agent built it out on paper and I told
  736. 26:00it to I connected my Shopify account and
  737. 26:03it redesigned it, right? So, there's
  738. 26:04literally
  739. 26:06like in terms of building software, web,
  740. 26:08mobile, desktop,
  741. 26:11you can go far.
  742. 26:13You could go absolutely far.
  743. 26:15>> I wanted I want to say one quick point
  744. 26:17on
  745. 26:18the fact that you used
  746. 26:20like paper or you can use Figma or
  747. 26:22whatever you you want to use. The
  748. 26:24mistake a lot of people are making right
  749. 26:26now is they're going straight to code.
  750. 26:28So, they're prompting
  751. 26:30Grokbot or whatever to like build this
  752. 26:33thing and then once it's in code there's
  753. 26:35just a bunch of slop that's in there
  754. 26:38that like from a design perspective you
  755. 26:41can kind of you know people people call
  756. 26:43it AI smell you can kind of feel it.
  757. 26:45>> Yeah.
  758. 26:45>> What you should do
  759. 26:47is
  760. 26:49take a second before
  761. 26:51pushing something to code to actually
  762. 26:53make sure that the design system is
  763. 26:56high quality that it is going to
  764. 26:58resonate with your ICP that the like
  765. 27:01that you don't have some random features
  766. 27:03in here that you don't want and that's
  767. 27:05why
  768. 27:06for a long time that was actually like a
  769. 27:08headache but now with Paper MCP I mean
  770. 27:11it's not like you are affiliated with
  771. 27:12Paper I'm not affiliated with Paper
  772. 27:14you're not affiliated with Grokbot I'm
  773. 27:15not affiliated with Grokbot we're just
  774. 27:16using these tools cuz they're helpful in
  775. 27:18creating stuff right?
  776. 27:20>> 100% and like and and the thing is like
  777. 27:22I'm like I'm genuinely a user of all
  778. 27:24these tools and to your point you never
  779. 27:26want to go directly to output right? You
  780. 27:29want to like I'm still big believer in
  781. 27:32human in the loop when it makes sense
  782. 27:34and in terms of design my approval is
  783. 27:36100% necessary in terms of functionality
  784. 27:39how things are working my approval is
  785. 27:41definitely necessary so me being part of
  786. 27:43that feedback loop actually allows the
  787. 27:45AI to work more right? If I just told
  788. 27:47the AI agent yeah design the site on
  789. 27:50Shopify and it gave me some slop the the
  790. 27:52time I'm going to waste going back and
  791. 27:54forth is unnecessary versus I take the
  792. 27:56extra step I have a Paper account set up
  793. 27:59I'm using
  794. 28:00Paper Papers MCP with my agent it
  795. 28:03designs it and oh here's another cool
  796. 28:06feedback tool that I I I just recently
  797. 28:08discovered I can click comment on
  798. 28:11Paper I can leave a comment
  799. 28:14right? And then I could tell my agent
  800. 28:16address the comments
  801. 28:18>> Mhm.
  802. 28:18>> I could look at this I might not even be
  803. 28:19a designer and be like I don't really
  804. 28:20like how this logo looks or I don't like
  805. 28:22this font or the spacing here is weird
  806. 28:25or like this shouldn't say Toronto
  807. 28:27Ontario
  808. 28:28like I can tweak that add these comments
  809. 28:31and just tell my agent address that that
  810. 28:33is a better feedback mechanism versus me
  811. 28:36having a deployed side and then saying,
  812. 28:38well, I don't like this, I don't like
  813. 28:39this, and then I has to rebuild
  814. 28:40everything
  815. 28:41or like, you know, write rewrite code
  816. 28:42and stuff like that where I'd rather
  817. 28:44lock in the design first, be happy with
  818. 28:46it, then have it generate code.
  819. 28:50Um, another example I can share. Let me
  820. 28:52just pull this up. So
  821. 28:55um one of my apps, Bezel,
  822. 28:57just a little cool fun animation,
  823. 28:59nothing seriously, trying to explain
  824. 29:01what the app does.
  825. 29:03I got AI to build this. Now what's
  826. 29:06interesting is the way I got it to build
  827. 29:09this is I found someone who who posted a
  828. 29:12screenshot of something similar,
  829. 29:14right? And it was far back. I told AI to
  830. 29:17work on it, but I don't think it ever
  831. 29:18finished it. So I asked it, is Bezel's
  832. 29:21UI changes made? And it says it's
  833. 29:23checking, it says the PR was merged, the
  834. 29:25UI work is merged. And then I asked it,
  835. 29:27like don't confuse it. This is the
  836. 29:30Watch the prompt. The animation thingy.
  837. 29:33I forgot how it looked. I just know it
  838. 29:35had animations.
  839. 29:36And then it says, oh, that was the
  840. 29:38declarative dragging demo. So I saw this
  841. 29:40demo
  842. 29:42of like
  843. 29:43things being dragged around and how
  844. 29:44snappy things were and I saw this and I
  845. 29:47was like, oh, this is this is nice. Like
  846. 29:50I really like this. So I I I didn't even
  847. 29:53forgot that I gave it to it. So I said
  848. 29:54animation thingy. It remember and then
  849. 29:57it said want me to prototype the
  850. 29:58homepage hero one in PR. And I've told
  851. 30:02it to use CloudCode so much that now it
  852. 30:04knows. It says spinning up a CloudCode
  853. 30:05session for Dragology hero prototype and
  854. 30:08Bezel. Um, it worked on it.
  855. 30:11And then
  856. 30:12it it looked good, but then one thing I
  857. 30:14realized is it used icons and I was
  858. 30:15like, no, use the logos, right? Like
  859. 30:17these companies have logos. I said
  860. 30:19instead of icons to the left of the
  861. 30:20text, can you have logos?
  862. 30:22It worked on it.
  863. 30:23And the PR was ready. I merged it. And
  864. 30:27this is the site right now.
  865. 30:29Right?
  866. 30:30>> Fire, by the way.
  867. 30:31>> Thank you. Thank you. And like all of
  868. 30:32this was designed with paper. Like I
  869. 30:35found uh I'll even the same inspiration
  870. 30:38I found. This is the inspiration I
  871. 30:39found, family.co. Love the site. Love
  872. 30:42how cute and bubbly
  873. 30:43>> Taylor. Shout out Angie Taylor.
  874. 30:45>> Legend, right? Big fan of his work. So I
  875. 30:48got it to design system. I tweaked a
  876. 30:50couple of things and like look how nice
  877. 30:52and playful uh this site is. I'm not a
  878. 30:54designer. I use Grok Bot and paper and
  879. 30:57Cloud Code to build all this, right? So
  880. 30:59I think having the right tools and
  881. 31:02giving your agent the right feedback
  882. 31:04makes it
  883. 31:05more tasteful um versus than just
  884. 31:09producing purple gradient slop, if that
  885. 31:11makes sense.
  886. 31:13>> Cool. Yeah, let's keep going.
  887. 31:14>> Yeah, so that was design. Content
  888. 31:17ideation. Oh, this is going to be my
  889. 31:18favorite. Um so I have a YouTube Bot
  890. 31:22and the way I use my YouTube Bot is
  891. 31:25every I think it's eight it's 9:00 a.m.
  892. 31:28and then like 5 p.m.
  893. 31:30um it will scour through Twitter. And
  894. 31:32the reason why it scours through Twitter
  895. 31:34is Grok Bot basically gives you I don't
  896. 31:36want to say unlimited, but it feels like
  897. 31:38unlimited access to the X API. So you
  898. 31:41can like pull information from X however
  899. 31:43you want. And because the space that me
  900. 31:45and Greg are in are is very active on X
  901. 31:48and sometimes it's hard to keep up, I
  902. 31:50basically tell it always share with me
  903. 31:52three topics um of that you find in that
  904. 31:55that I you think I would find
  905. 31:57interesting based on the type of content
  906. 31:59I create and share with me tweets that I
  907. 32:02can make videos from. So this is
  908. 32:04today's. Let's look at it. It says
  909. 32:05Claude got bank access.
  910. 32:07Uh then
  911. 32:08Pobliano blew up Anthropic. Blew it up
  912. 32:11on Anthropic. So this is their I think
  913. 32:13their finance uh launch. Yeah, this is
  914. 32:15something I could talk about, right?
  915. 32:16This is about Claude. It's about
  916. 32:18finance. I find these two things
  917. 32:19interesting. And then it even gives me
  918. 32:21title idea. Claude just asks for your
  919. 32:23bank login. That's actually pretty good
  920. 32:25um like title. And then shares with me
  921. 32:28the type of resources I can add. And
  922. 32:30then second is Google ships agents that
  923. 32:33keep coding after you close the laptop.
  924. 32:35Anti-gravity remote agents level, right?
  925. 32:37So this is something I could talk about
  926. 32:39as well. Cloud Code was sending your
  927. 32:41email address to the web. Um so
  928. 32:43apparently there's some hacker news
  929. 32:45insider info or Cloud Code is doing
  930. 32:46something sneaky. This is probably a
  931. 32:49video that someone is recording right
  932. 32:51now as we speak. So, this is happening
  933. 32:53twice a day, every single day. Um the
  934. 32:56politics stuff happened in the states,
  935. 32:58right? Data centers are a big thing. It
  936. 33:00says data centers lost 46 of 47 votes.
  937. 33:03It knows that this is like I'm not a
  938. 33:04politics channel, but this is something
  939. 33:06that I probably would talk about, right?
  940. 33:08So, every single day 9 to 5 I am getting
  941. 33:11these ideas uh fed to me from Twitter
  942. 33:15with resources and title suggestions.
  943. 33:17Now, do I take these every single time?
  944. 33:20No. But am I keeping up to date with
  945. 33:22what's going on and do I basically have
  946. 33:24a plethora of ideas? 100% yes. Right?
  947. 33:28So,
  948. 33:29this is absolutely um one of my favorite
  949. 33:32bots, especially when it comes to the
  950. 33:34content creation one, is just ideation.
  951. 33:37Um I don't usually use AI to script um
  952. 33:40cuz I find that people
  953. 33:42you know, people prefer people. Um or
  954. 33:45maybe you can help it like organize your
  955. 33:46thoughts and stuff like that. But in
  956. 33:47terms of finding you ideas, there should
  957. 33:49be no reason why, especially if your
  958. 33:52community lives on X, it's one of the
  959. 33:54best things.
  960. 33:55Another thing I can share is my editor
  961. 33:58bot. Now, I don't fully use this just
  962. 34:01yet, meaning like no videos have went
  963. 34:03live,
  964. 34:04but man is it a good way to sort of
  965. 34:06explore
  966. 34:08the different styles I want
  967. 34:10and then I give it to my editor. Cuz I
  968. 34:12don't know editor language, Greg. You
  969. 34:14know, people say luts, this, color
  970. 34:17grading,
  971. 34:18blah blah, text, inter font, uh trans I
  972. 34:21don't know what none of that means. So,
  973. 34:23what I literally will do in my very like
  974. 34:27broken editor language English, I will
  975. 34:29tell it I want this, this feels a little
  976. 34:31too yellow, whatever, and guess what I
  977. 34:32do? I send to my editor. And my editor,
  978. 34:34very very talented, amazing,
  979. 34:36will follow those instructions, will
  980. 34:38give suggestions. So, like we're at a
  981. 34:40point where like,
  982. 34:41you know,
  983. 34:43if I didn't, like if I was starting
  984. 34:44ground zero, I would, I would use this.
  985. 34:47I, I would use AI to at least cut clips
  986. 34:50for me or add text for me, right? So,
  987. 34:52between like ideating with different
  988. 34:54styles, um using Grokbot and also like
  989. 34:58collecting your X,
  990. 35:00um it is a huge part of my content uh
  991. 35:04ideation and pipeline.
  992. 35:06>> I'll let you in on a little secret. I,
  993. 35:08I've been experimenting with using Opus
  994. 35:1055 to edit my short form. And some of
  995. 35:13those videos have gotten hundreds of
  996. 35:15thousands of views.
  997. 35:16>> Yeah, we're there. We're there. I, I
  998. 35:18believe and I'm, I'm going to start
  999. 35:19picking up short form I've been
  1000. 35:20slacking. And yeah, like AI is going to
  1001. 35:22be a big part of that, especially with
  1002. 35:23like, I'm assuming probably had
  1003. 35:25animations and stuff like that, right?
  1004. 35:27>> I mean,
  1005. 35:28there's no, I'm going to do, I'll
  1006. 35:29probably do, you know, if people want me
  1007. 35:31to do,
  1008. 35:32you know, episodes on this, I'm happy to
  1009. 35:33do it. But basically,
  1010. 35:36my workflow was literally like, you
  1011. 35:39know, I'm in the shower. I have an idea
  1012. 35:41in the shower.
  1013. 35:42I, you know, get back to my desk. I take
  1014. 35:45my phone. I press record and I'm like,
  1015. 35:47let me tell you about
  1016. 35:49some topic, right?
  1017. 35:51And
  1018. 35:53hit record, stop,
  1019. 35:55uh feed it to Claude code,
  1020. 35:57you know, give it, you know, some uh
  1021. 36:01framework for thinking about how to edit
  1022. 36:03videos and what makes a good video. Um
  1023. 36:06and basically posted it. Um and I, you
  1024. 36:09know, I just wanted to see like if we
  1025. 36:10were there yet and we're totally there.
  1026. 36:13Um I could see a world where Grokbot
  1027. 36:15does a better job
  1028. 36:17at managing that relationship.
  1029. 36:19>> No, 100% and that's what I use Grokbot
  1030. 36:21for. Ultimately, Grokbot is an
  1031. 36:23orchestrator for me. It orchestrates
  1032. 36:24multiple different things. It's not
  1033. 36:26solely doing the thing for me in some,
  1034. 36:28in most cases. It's orchestrating the
  1035. 36:30thing. For example, to your point on
  1036. 36:32this video, I've been working on like
  1037. 36:34animations and like animated stuff and
  1038. 36:38like
  1039. 36:39I remember a time where this cost me a
  1040. 36:40pretty hefty penny, right? Like, like
  1041. 36:44this cost money. And I think to your
  1042. 36:46point, the expensive thing right now is
  1043. 36:50the framework, is the knowledge in
  1044. 36:53certain domain. It's the understanding
  1045. 36:55of how it should be followed and what
  1046. 36:57good editing looks like and like how the
  1047. 36:59animation should bounce in nicely and
  1048. 37:01stuff like that. But yeah, this
  1049. 37:03this is possible. Like I can add a
  1050. 37:05narration to this or I can be super AI
  1051. 37:07pulled give a level give an 11 Labs key
  1052. 37:10and it could do that for me. So yeah,
  1053. 37:12content has
  1054. 37:14definitely changed for me in terms of
  1055. 37:15like how I use AI with it.
  1056. 37:17And this is how Grokbot is. Should I
  1057. 37:19jump into business and finance?
  1058. 37:21>> Let's do it.
  1059. 37:22>> So one important bot that I have and
  1060. 37:26some people might call me weird for
  1061. 37:27this, but I have
  1062. 37:30and where is it? I have an advisor bot.
  1063. 37:32And hopefully it doesn't show any
  1064. 37:33numbers here. Yes.
  1065. 37:34So my advisor bot basically stops me
  1066. 37:37from making bad decisions. So I have
  1067. 37:41what do [snorts] they call this?
  1068. 37:43Like you know like the syndrome where
  1069. 37:44you see some shiny object syndrome. I
  1070. 37:46have a bad case of shiny object
  1071. 37:47syndrome. I think Greg knows this where
  1072. 37:49like one day I'll be all about you know
  1073. 37:52the space that we're in and I don't know
  1074. 37:53why the next day I have an urge to start
  1075. 37:55a trucking company or I have this urge
  1076. 37:57to be a real estate mogul. Like it's
  1077. 37:59it's very random or like I don't know
  1078. 38:01like it's just the most random thing.
  1079. 38:03And so I'll give my advisor bot like
  1080. 38:07I'll see this and I was like oh,
  1081. 38:09what do you think of this?
  1082. 38:11Honestly, I wouldn't buy this right now.
  1083. 38:13It doesn't say where you are this year.
  1084. 38:15It's an investment building, not a house
  1085. 38:17you're saving for. And it won't it
  1086. 38:19wouldn't pull it would pull cash away
  1087. 38:21from your other goals, right? It's
  1088. 38:22telling me how you know bad it is to buy
  1089. 38:25real estate in Canada. It's saying the
  1090. 38:27rents are probably logged. It it even
  1091. 38:29mentioned a red flag which I noticed.
  1092. 38:31The seller apparently said unrepresented
  1093. 38:34buyers only,
  1094. 38:35which is like super sus. Like why can't
  1095. 38:38I have representation?
  1096. 38:40And it even says here the boiler and the
  1097. 38:42furnace are from 2009. So So about 17
  1098. 38:45years old. Budget for
  1099. 38:47them in the next few years. So it's
  1100. 38:49basically telling me this is a bad idea,
  1101. 38:52right? And I need something like this to
  1102. 38:55tell me that this is a bad idea. And the
  1103. 38:57reason why this bot is effective is cuz
  1104. 39:02under the finance tab I have business
  1105. 39:04finance, personal finance,
  1106. 39:05business investor, personal investor.
  1107. 39:08And these bots basically have full
  1108. 39:09access to my finances. The way I do it
  1109. 39:12is there's this plugin. A lot of people
  1110. 39:14don't know this. If you search finance
  1111. 39:17and you click on it, I won't click on it
  1112. 39:18cuz it'll show my bank accounts. It
  1113. 39:20usually it just uses plaid. So you can
  1114. 39:22connect your accounts via plaid,
  1115. 39:24give it full access to this. Your bots
  1116. 39:26look at your transactions and it will
  1117. 39:27literally tell you like
  1118. 39:29you can't afford this or this goes
  1119. 39:32against your goals or you told me you
  1120. 39:34wanted to save for this or you wanted to
  1121. 39:36do this, right? So for someone like me
  1122. 39:38who one day wants to own a trucking
  1123. 39:40company, the next day wants to own a
  1124. 39:41storage unit company and the next day
  1125. 39:44wants to start a AI lab, like this is a
  1126. 39:47great bot for me. Between my finances
  1127. 39:49bot and my advisor bot,
  1128. 39:52incredible. Um
  1129. 39:54the I do have like a I'm trying to get
  1130. 39:57it to government contracting. I'm
  1131. 39:58probably not again. This is probably one
  1132. 40:00of my shiny object object syndromes
  1133. 40:02kicking in, Greg.
  1134. 40:03Um but I have a couple bots that
  1135. 40:05basically scan for contracts that the
  1136. 40:08government in Canada has available and
  1137. 40:11it's telling me oh and it knows about
  1138. 40:13me, right? It has access to my business
  1139. 40:14side. It has access to my finance. So
  1140. 40:16it's saying oh yeah, this makes sense
  1141. 40:17for you. This doesn't make sense for
  1142. 40:18you. You might need to hire for this,
  1143. 40:20right? So
  1144. 40:21like once you've given it enough context
  1145. 40:23through the connections and maybe giving
  1146. 40:25it some data,
  1147. 40:26like these are actually great like
  1148. 40:30tools to bounce ideas off of. I would
  1149. 40:32scroll up, but the advisor bot pulls
  1150. 40:34numbers on some of the chats. There's
  1151. 40:36some things where it literally tells me
  1152. 40:37it's like
  1153. 40:38you need to relax and focus on the main
  1154. 40:40thing,
  1155. 40:41which is like absolutely great advice
  1156. 40:43that I hear from humans, but for some
  1157. 40:45reason when I hear a bot, it hits a
  1158. 40:47little harder.
  1159. 40:48So
  1160. 40:49this has a big win for me in terms of
  1161. 40:52business and finance. And for me, this
  1162. 40:55hits incredibly home because my business
  1163. 40:57and finance is tied with engineering and
  1164. 40:59design, right? So, I'm not just vibe
  1165. 41:01building for the sake of vibes. Some of
  1166. 41:03these are actually products that people
  1167. 41:05have paid me to build. Some of these are
  1168. 41:06products that maybe I want to raise
  1169. 41:08money for. Maybe I want to sell to
  1170. 41:10people, right? Um so because these
  1171. 41:12things are tied, going back to your
  1172. 41:14original question, Greg, this is why I
  1173. 41:16use Grokbot. Cuz with Claude Core, when
  1174. 41:18I spin up a new session, it has no idea
  1175. 41:20that this is where my business is at,
  1176. 41:22this is how much money the business is
  1177. 41:24making, this is the type of customers we
  1178. 41:25have. But Grokbot will make engineering
  1179. 41:27decisions with the information it has on
  1180. 41:31this side of the market.
  1181. 41:33And this is what makes it to me
  1182. 41:34absolutely incredible.
  1183. 41:37Right? Like I asked it to build me uh a
  1184. 41:40site one time for for a family friend,
  1185. 41:43and it was like, oh, you had a design
  1186. 41:45system in paper that you used for
  1187. 41:47another family member one time. Do you
  1188. 41:48want to use this one as well?
  1189. 41:51Absolutely incredible because I did want
  1190. 41:52to do that, and I didn't have to tell
  1191. 41:54that, right? So, the more I'm using it,
  1192. 41:56the more it's getting to know me, like
  1193. 41:58the more productive it's starting to
  1194. 42:00become for me when it comes to all these
  1195. 42:02parts of my life because everything is
  1196. 42:04related. Even my content and my
  1197. 42:06engineering is related, right? The
  1198. 42:07reason why I have to build apps that
  1199. 42:09people use is so I can make content
  1200. 42:11about building apps that people use,
  1201. 42:12right? If I stop doing that, then my
  1202. 42:15content goes stale, right? So, all of
  1203. 42:17this is feeding into each other, and the
  1204. 42:20only way I can have it under one surface
  1205. 42:22is Grokbot.
  1206. 42:24>> Dude, if you if you're listening to this
  1207. 42:25and you
  1208. 42:27ship ideas and you don't use Grokbot,
  1209. 42:32>> And again,
  1210. 42:32>> what's wrong with you.
  1211. 42:33>> I'm not saying use Grokbot to build it.
  1212. 42:36Use Grokbot to orchestrate it so it
  1213. 42:38knows what's going on. That context is
  1214. 42:40super super valuable. And finally, I'll
  1215. 42:42just talk about shopping. This is um
  1216. 42:45I am a a fiend for compute because uh
  1217. 42:49some people want to take my computer
  1218. 42:51away. So I've been trying to find uh
  1219. 42:54places to buy
  1220. 42:56uh compute. And it will like scour
  1221. 42:58through eBay where it will look for
  1222. 43:00listings where people are selling uh
  1223. 43:03GPUs where the boxes are sealed, right?
  1224. 43:07So I'm getting like I'm getting listings
  1225. 43:09every single day. And
  1226. 43:11I'll actually share the crazy story. I
  1227. 43:13have a PS5 Pro that I bought recently
  1228. 43:15because I want to play GTA VI.
  1229. 43:17Um and you know who bought my PS5 Pro
  1230. 43:20and negotiated for me and checked that
  1231. 43:22it was viable, uh Greg?
  1232. 43:24It was my Grok bot.
  1233. 43:25Grok bot emailed the person who listed
  1234. 43:27it on eBay, found out that it was a
  1235. 43:29store in Ontario 2 hours away, gave me
  1236. 43:32the number, gave me the script to talk
  1237. 43:34to the person. Obviously I didn't use
  1238. 43:35the script. Called the person,
  1239. 43:37confirmed, uh I gave it access, it
  1240. 43:39bought it for me. And now I have a PS5
  1241. 43:41ready to play GTA VI when it comes out.
  1242. 43:44Um another thing that I've been using it
  1243. 43:46for super random, um I'm starting to
  1244. 43:49experience a little sciatica pain and I
  1245. 43:51need to choose.
  1246. 43:53And I asked it um I actually asked it to
  1247. 43:56find me a list of shoes. And then it
  1248. 43:58did. And then I asked it to email my
  1249. 44:00wife because she's my designer and
  1250. 44:02stylist and I'm not allowed to pick the
  1251. 44:05pieces of clothing I wear because
  1252. 44:06apparently I have no sense of color and
  1253. 44:08and taste when it comes to clothing. And
  1254. 44:11she picked a couple and it sent me the
  1255. 44:13list that she's okay with,
  1256. 44:15right? So like these just mundane things
  1257. 44:17like I want to buy new shoes that are
  1258. 44:18good for my sciatica pain. I don't want
  1259. 44:22to have to go on the site and then click
  1260. 44:24here and click that. So to me, going
  1261. 44:27even beyond everything else, Grok bot is
  1262. 44:30my interface to the internet.
  1263. 44:32I don't even go on pages as much
  1264. 44:34anymore. I'll tell Grok bot to do it for
  1265. 44:36me unless like I visibly need to be
  1266. 44:39there like something like Twitter. So
  1267. 44:41this is yeah, this is pretty much a
  1268. 44:42rundown of how I spend
  1269. 44:45probably the most time on on any given
  1270. 44:48app um being productive, building stuff
  1271. 44:51and and doing stuff, Greg.
  1272. 44:53>> Dude, this has been insane.
  1273. 44:55>> I know what I'm doing today. Uh,
  1274. 44:58I'm I'm I'm literally just
  1275. 45:00screenshotting or I'm sending this video
  1276. 45:02to my Grokbot and being like I want
  1277. 45:05>> That's the awesome part that you can
  1278. 45:06give the video to your Grokbot. It'll
  1279. 45:09pull the transcription and it'll do the
  1280. 45:11stuff for you, right? It It It's
  1281. 45:13incredible.
  1282. 45:14>> So, thank you so much for coming on,
  1283. 45:16sharing the sauce.
  1284. 45:17I'll include links where you can follow
  1285. 45:20Etsy's not on the internet, Ross Mike,
  1286. 45:22uh,
  1287. 45:23where you can follow him. You definitely
  1288. 45:25should.
  1289. 45:26Um, anything you want to leave people
  1290. 45:28with?
  1291. 45:29>> Yeah, um, one last thing I'll say is I I
  1292. 45:32please think big. Like please just like
  1293. 45:35now is like the time to actually try
  1294. 45:37stuff. You know, before two, three years
  1295. 45:39before you heard the motivational
  1296. 45:41speeches, you got to be the the
  1297. 45:43Screw all that. Like it's actually
  1298. 45:45possible now. Like I we did a video not
  1299. 45:48too long ago talking about uh, audio
  1300. 45:50like in and hardware.
  1301. 45:52Greg, I'm doing it.
  1302. 45:54Look at look at like mind you forget the
  1303. 45:56cream cheese sandwich, but I'm doing it.
  1304. 45:59Like there's a Raspberry Pi, there's
  1305. 46:00speakers there. I am not a hardware guy,
  1306. 46:03right? But like I'm actually building
  1307. 46:05something that works and I I I I don't
  1308. 46:09know what I'm doing, but I'm literally
  1309. 46:10going back and forth with AI asking, how
  1310. 46:12do I do this? How do I connect this? Oh,
  1311. 46:14I need this chip. I need this memory
  1312. 46:16card. I need this peripheral and I am
  1313. 46:18putting it together and not only am I
  1314. 46:20having the time of my life, but like I
  1315. 46:22now have the ability to like the ideas
  1316. 46:25that used to be stuck here, I have no
  1317. 46:27excuse to bring them out now. So, my
  1318. 46:29message to everyone is just just try,
  1319. 46:31man. Like like just just actually just
  1320. 46:34ask the agent and just try like
  1321. 46:37this is by far I know there's a lot of
  1322. 46:39doomerism, but the fact that you have
  1323. 46:41intelligence for $200 a month
  1324. 46:43is absolutely incredible. You owe it to
  1325. 46:45yourself and your generations. That's
  1326. 46:47all I got to say.
  1327. 46:48>> and it's easy to fall for the doomerism
  1328. 46:50because there's so much negativity on
  1329. 46:52the internet.
  1330. 46:53>> Yeah.
  1331. 46:53>> Uh,
  1332. 46:54and I think it the important thing is
  1333. 46:56just
  1334. 46:57a part of it is sort of like a mental
  1335. 46:58battle of being like, you know what? I
  1336. 47:00believe when Mickey says that this is
  1337. 47:03the time and he shows me like, you know,
  1338. 47:05all the things I can do. I I I believe
  1339. 47:07that I could create something that
  1340. 47:09people could want. And even though
  1341. 47:11people
  1342. 47:13say SaaS is dead or software is dead or
  1343. 47:16this person just got lucky, you know,
  1344. 47:18for for hitting it big on this app and
  1345. 47:20it can never be me,
  1346. 47:22you know, you got to It's like that
  1347. 47:23image of the horse with blinders on
  1348. 47:25running a race. You got to just put the
  1349. 47:27blinders on
  1350. 47:29and
  1351. 47:30and get get to work.
  1352. 47:32>> I mean, listen, at the end of the day,
  1353. 47:33whatever you say will be true, right?
  1354. 47:34There was a quite a bit of time like I
  1355. 47:37mean, Greg, you remember when you first
  1356. 47:38had me on the chat, I had like 8K subs,
  1357. 47:40right? Like I was working a corporate
  1358. 47:42job. Like I was like it was it was
  1359. 47:44stuff was pretty tight, but I just I had
  1360. 47:46this very delusional belief that like,
  1361. 47:49yeah, I'm going to make something
  1362. 47:50happen. And I didn't even think it was
  1363. 47:52YouTube. I was really doing YouTube for
  1364. 47:54fun. And I remember when Greg DM me, I
  1365. 47:56thought I was being scammed. I thought
  1366. 47:57it was like a bot. Like I didn't respond
  1367. 47:59right away if you look at the time
  1368. 48:00difference cuz I had to confirm whether
  1369. 48:02it was him or not or whether I was being
  1370. 48:03fished. So like like like and that was
  1371. 48:06then and like this is now and it's like
  1372. 48:09yes, there's a lot of craziness
  1373. 48:10happening, but like I think if you focus
  1374. 48:12on you and your house and you do what's
  1375. 48:14best for you and yours and you implement
  1376. 48:17the stuff that's available and you just
  1377. 48:18try cuz even if it doesn't work out, you
  1378. 48:20at least try and for that you're a
  1379. 48:22legend. So please try at least before
  1380. 48:25the subsidies end.
  1381. 48:26>> [laughter]
  1382. 48:27>> I'll catch you next time, my man.
  1383. 48:29>> Have a good one, everybody. Thank you so
  1384. 48:30much, Greg, for having me on.
