Hello everyone, this is Bravesa patterns

0:01

and in this video we're going to be

0:02

covering AI projects. Now if you've been

0:05

using tools like chat GPT or anthropic

0:07

cloud you might have noticed a really

0:08

frustrating problem. Every time you

0:10

start a new chat you basically just have

0:12

to restart from the complete beginning.

0:14

The model doesn't actually keep context

0:16

it doesn't remember information doesn't

0:18

remember files or any of that stuff. So

0:20

projects actually solves that problem.

0:22

Let me show you what I mean. So here I

0:24

am on my chat GPT interface and to

0:26

create a new project I simply will

0:28

select new project give it a name call

0:30

this wedding planning and then I'll

0:32

create the project. Now here I can add

0:35

files. This is where I can actually

0:37

throw in every single piece of

0:39

information that was used in this

0:40

wedding planning document. So think the

0:43

entire set list of all the guests that

0:45

are going to be there. I can throw in

0:47

every single meeting transcript that

0:49

I've had with the wedding planner. Um, I

0:52

can add in all of the food vendors that

0:54

are going to be there in the area. So,

0:55

all of that information can just be

0:57

thrown here. I can really do the same

0:59

thing on Anthropic Cloud as well. So,

1:01

here I added in the meeting transcripts.

1:03

So, this is a bunch of fake meeting

1:06

transcripts uh between a couple of

1:08

different people here that are getting

1:09

married. It I also have some information

1:11

on food vendors as well as the wedding

1:14

information. So, now if I ask questions,

1:17

so suppose something like can I get a

1:19

chocolate cake for my wedding? it's

1:21

going to be able to reference all of

1:23

those files when it's giving a response.

1:25

So, it says, "Looking at your wedding

1:27

budget, I see that you have a $500

1:29

budget. There's no uh flavor, but you'll

1:31

want to consider a bunch of different

1:33

things like the size, um if it matches

1:36

the aesthetic, any dietary

1:38

recommendations. Let's ask another

1:39

question. Do I have a song picked out

1:43

yet?" Right? So, this is something that

1:45

was referenced in the meeting

1:47

transcript. that based on the wedding

1:48

planning documents you have your first

1:50

dance song that's perfect by Edurren. So

1:53

I'm going to say where is that

1:56

information and it's going to be able to

1:58

provide me from the meeting transcript.

2:00

So it does say it over here when this

2:02

meeting happened and where that

2:04

information is detailed. So how do you

2:06

actually add something to your project

2:08

knowledge? Well suppose I remove this

2:10

food vendor research. I can click on add

2:12

content to the project and I can either

2:14

add some text content blah blah blah

2:16

blah blah or it could be for example

2:19

information from my Google drive and if

2:21

you link your Google drive you can

2:22

actually pull all of your files from

2:24

your Google drive here. Um you can also

2:27

add code. So over here I connected my

2:29

GitHub repository directly to Enthropic

2:32

Cloud. So I can select a repository and

2:34

then based on all of those files in that

2:36

repository it's going to be able to um

2:39

access or the either the entire

2:41

repository or the specific files from

2:44

there. So over here I can say look get

2:47

all of these files add this over here to

2:49

the knowledge base and then I can ask it

2:52

whatever question that I would want. Now

2:53

I wasn't joking I really do use projects

2:55

for every single thing. Uh as an

2:58

example, if I have to create a

2:59

PowerPoint presentation on whatever

3:01

topic, what I would do is like I'll

3:03

simply take in every single piece of

3:05

information that I have and I'll just

3:07

throw it over here. Then I'll actually

3:09

give it a prompt. So for example, the

3:11

prompt that I give here is create eight

3:13

PowerPoint slides about the wedding. Be

3:15

as detailed as possible, include a bunch

3:18

of bullet points in each slide. I also

3:20

said make it content rich and give me

3:21

VBA code that I can copy paste into

3:23

Microsoft PowerPoint. So what that means

3:26

is while it's actually creating this

3:28

code, let me show you how you can really

3:29

easily add that to Microsoft PowerPoint.

3:32

So first you want to open the program up

3:36

when you see PowerPoint for the first

3:37

time, you will not have this developer

3:41

um available. So you have to first

3:43

enable it. Click on file and then select

3:46

options.

3:48

After that you want to click

3:50

on customize ribbon and then over here

3:53

you want to scroll down and just make

3:55

sure that this developer is checked.

3:58

Then you can select okay and after you

4:01

do that you should be able to see this.

4:02

Now why this is useful is I can then

4:05

click on visual

4:07

basic and this opens up something like

4:10

this and over here I need to click on

4:13

this dropdown and select

4:16

module. Now over here, what I can do is

4:18

simply copy this code that I got from

4:21

Claude and then go back over here

4:24

to this window and then select run. Once

4:28

that's done, you can see here that

4:29

actually creates a PowerPoint set of

4:32

slides and this is what it looks like.

4:34

So we have a bunch of slides all about

4:37

the actual um wedding information. Now,

4:41

obviously, it's not formatted great, but

4:42

that's not a big deal because I can

4:44

simply click on

4:45

designer. And then here I have a bunch

4:48

of different design templates that I

4:49

could use. So, as an example, I could

4:52

say this one or maybe even this one

4:54

looks like it's a ring, for example. I

4:57

can even click on see more design ideas

4:59

to see what other ones are available.

5:01

Let's just pick one at random. Let's

5:03

just say I'm going to pick this one.

5:05

Well, then if I go to the next one, by

5:07

default, it is going to be able to allow

5:09

me to take elements from the same theme

5:11

that I have. So over here, I can either

5:14

take some stock pictures cuz this is a

5:17

garden event. So maybe I can just add

5:18

this picture in. If I wanted to, I could

5:20

delete this picture, add my own picture.

5:22

It doesn't really matter, but this

5:24

allows me to really then customize um

5:26

each of my slides. We could also use the

5:29

knowledge base for something else.

5:30

Maybe, for example, asking questions

5:32

about um the code. So like, hey, can you

5:35

tell me about where this function is or

5:36

what file references this function or

5:38

maybe can you help explain like this one

5:40

particular part of this codebase? So

5:42

those are a couple of different ideas

5:44

and really I would say like this is a

5:46

great tool. If you're not using it,

5:48

definitely add it or at least try it

5:49

out. Um, it really helps to separate out

5:52

all of your different chats. Just helps

5:54

you keep memory of all of those pieces

5:55

of information. And if you wanted to for

5:58

example not provide any proprietary

6:00

company information or something like

6:01

that well you could also create your own

6:03

version of projects over here on open

6:05

web UI. If you go over here to maybe

6:08

your workspace you can create a

6:10

knowledge base and just like how you

6:12

have a knowledge base for u the wedding

6:15

information you can create another

6:17

knowledge base over here and then u you

6:19

have a model that can just essentially

6:21

reference that knowledge base. kind of

6:23

works similar to that, but I still like

6:26

the fact that we can really separate out

6:28

each one of those products. So, for

6:29

example, if I'm working on wedding

6:31

planning stuff, I just need to click on

6:33

wedding planning and then I have all of

6:35

my details, all of my information over

6:37

there. So, that's pretty much it for

6:38

this video. Thank you all for tuning in.

6:40

I appreciate you for your time. I'll see

6:41

you in the next one. Goodbye.

Interactive Summary

The video introduces a tool called "Projects" that addresses the limitation of AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Anthropic Cloud not retaining context or memory across new chats. Projects allows users to create separate project spaces where they can upload various files, including documents, meeting transcripts, and even connect to cloud storage like Google Drive or GitHub repositories. This enables the AI to reference all the provided information when answering questions or performing tasks within that specific project. The presenter demonstrates how Projects can be used for tasks like wedding planning, where it can answer questions about guest lists, vendors, and even song choices based on uploaded documents. Additionally, the video showcases how Projects can be integrated with PowerPoint by generating VBA code to create presentations automatically. It also touches upon using Projects for code-related queries and mentions an alternative open-source solution called Open Web UI for users concerned about proprietary information. The core benefit highlighted is the ability to organize information and maintain context for different tasks, preventing the need to re-explain or re-upload data for each new interaction.
