The world's biggest tech billionaires

complete more in a day than the rest of

us do in a week. But, is it even

possible for one of us to be as

productive as one of them? We decided to

find out with a totally average person.

Hey, I

This is Craig. We set him up with the AI

workspace GenSpark, which split his day

into 216

individual tasks specifically tailored

to him.

>> I've got to upload basically my whole

life. All of my text messages, my

emails, I I guess also my journal. But,

will GenSpark be able to help Craig

complete all 216 tasks? How much more

time now? The most stressful day of

Craig's life begins now.

Hello. This is Elena, your AI assistant.

You have 216 tasks. I added one more.

Survive this day.

For your first tasks, let's start with a

shower, news and email recap, shaving,

and vocal warm-ups. Welcome to your

customized [music]

daily news briefing.

>> 847

unread messages.

>> Move on to some lip trills or tongue

trills.

>> Uh

I'll state my case, of which I'm 216

tasks only works if nothing takes more

than like 5 minutes. So, the more that

he does concurrently, the more time that

he banks. And he's going to need that

extra time as his day gets way, way

harder. Like to the point where it even

puts his love life at risk. Don't worry,

that is going to come back later. By the

way, I'm Philip, producer from GenSpark

who's helping oversee everything.

Hello.

Oh, hey. Craig started off his day by

showing me this crazy planner he made.

>> Uh you see there's literally 216 tasks.

>> Oh my gosh. So, these are all your

tasks. That And this is connected to

GenSpark? [music] Yeah, it is. So, I did

some research, and it turns out a lot of

these tech moguls use something called

5-minute chunking, where they split

their entire day up into 5-minute

chunks, completing a different task

every 5 minutes. If you multiply that

against the 18 hours a day that they

work, according to Elon Musk, you get

216 tasks.

Okay, so it's looking like the next task

is uh breakfast. So, could you look in

the AI drive for the files I uploaded uh

specifically of what's in my fridge, so

you can tell me what I can eat? We asked

Craig to do what most people forget to

do, which is give the AI tons of

context. [music] We had him take

pictures of everything, because in

practice, the more context the AI gets,

the more useful it is.

>> Last night I took pictures of my fridge,

so hopefully it can come up with

something.

>> Checking your AI drive for cabinets,

refrigerator, and freezer contents. You

have extremely limited options. However,

a pickle is a very [music] typical part

of a Japanese breakfast. So, you are

having a minimalist Japanese breakfast.

Enjoy [music] with coffee. Awesome.

>> [laughter]

>> Okay, so next task is getting the inbox

to zero. So, if you could just go ahead

and look at like all spam and

promotional material, and just go ahead

and get rid of those, mark them as read,

and delete them if you can. I'm now

working on clearing out the spam and

promotional emails from your inbox,

marking them as read. I'm down from 847

down to nothing, cuz it's all read at

this point. With emails done, it was

time for Craig to start work managing

his dad's pool servicing company.

Hey, what's up, man? Hey, dude.

>> [laughter]

>> Hey, man. I got to show you this like

you know that welcome packet we've been

talking about? Uh I do not. It's got

like

every definition that a new customer

might face from us. Like that it

literally is like a one-stop shop to

understand everything that we're going

to be doing. Did you make this? Yeah,

man. All right, I got to keep pressing

and pushing on this. I'm doing that task

thing today, where I've got 5 minutes

per task, so we're just going to keep

moving forward. I'm so I'm sorry, Dad.

Yikes. So, I've been trying to open a

Shopify store. If you have New York

Rocks, you paint little faces and like

cultural icons and stuff like that.

Craig's next task was to set up his side

hustle, an online store that sells

custom-painted rocks. [music] This is

like actually why I took the challenge,

is because I was like, oh, like with

everything going on, like I actually

will be able to utilize [music]

AI to get this going. Have you guys ever

wanted more art in your home? And you

miss New York City?

New York Rocks. Definitely not stolen

from Central Park. $200 to $600 each,

you know? It's like a collectible thing.

$200 double? No, it's like a It's a

collectible thing. It's art. You're

telling me you don't like the idea.

Let's get it to build the whole thing.

Like what the store set up, product

listing. I also want product

descriptions and what that would look

like.

>> I've set up the agent to generate your

Shopify store package. This was a huge

task, so Craig left GenSpark to work on

it in the background as he moved on to

something else. And it's found this

challenge that I gave myself a while

back to like tweet more. Why can't I

tweet as much as like these tech

billionaires, right? I started off by

tweeting, is soup just a socially

acceptable drink, or am I missing

something? It has no retweets or likes,

so I guess not very good. Want to tweet

12 times a day. I want to make sure that

they're funny, so I can go viral.

>> So, the AI created 12 posts for the

entire day. Here's the first one.

After this, Craig worked on a problem

for his dad's company. We just got a

full-time tech, like the first one. He

gets stuck in traffic a lot, so it's

already identified here that we need to

optimize his daily route based on

traffic. So, I think that's what I'll

focus on. To complete this task, the AI

found the best route to get to each

client, laid out the shortest path, and

then sent it to his dad's employee,

Peter.

>> Okay, uh losing time here. Oh my god.

Okay. Craig spent too much time on this

task, and he started to fall behind on

the new ones. Can you go ahead and put

the real-time traffic data Go ahead and

generate that financial report with some

of the top competitors. Can you give me

the three best workout routines to do if

I only have 5 minutes?

All right. While Craig [music] was

working out, GenSpark kept tweeting for

him.

Okay. How much more time now? The task

was completed.

At this point, he'd only finished a

quarter of his tasks and still had 170

left, which is an impossible number

unless he picks up the pace.

Oh, man, I'm getting pretty hungry.

Oh, uh you you all out of pickles? Yeah,

I don't know if I could eat another

pickle.

>> [laughter]

>> What if I could see like what should I

have for lunch based on my last Amazon

order? Oh, you mean like an Amazon like

grocery order?

>> Yeah, like Amazon grocery.

>> While one GenSpark agent worked on

getting Craig lunch, another began

diving into his personal life. It found

a text thread between my sister and me,

where she was roasting me about how I'm

not getting any dates off of my dating

profile. So, I think I need to switch up

my picture game.

>> GenSpark analyzed his profile photo, and

I helped him take some new ones. I think

we got some great options.

But, just when the tasks were finally

starting to get done, his dad's

employee, Peter, called with some bad

news. Hey, Peter, what's up? You're

kidding.

The new the traffic map, like the new

the new address? God, I'm sorry. Okay,

let me just Just be on standby, and I'll

I'll figure something out. I'll call you

right back. Oh, god. Sorry.

Oh my god, that's so frustrating. Um

Peter, the tech, like the pool tech,

he's like at a house with that new

traffic update and like the report with

the new customer, and they don't even

have a pool. I'm here for you. Traffic

report that we were doing, combined that

report we made, sent Peter the tech to

the wrong house. I need like ASAP

a reconciliation of it.

>> I'm sending the corrected list of

results over to Peter now. After this,

the AI's analysis of Craig's text

messages called out that he'd been

losing touch with his sister. So, his

next task was to improve their

relationship. I have an idea. My sister

is Taylor Swift obsessed. Why not create

a daily routine where you make a phone

call to my sister, [music]

and you analyze a YouTube video about

Taylor Swift lyrics. Just pick one, and

then read the transcript, and I want you

to summarize the most fascinating

details, and then uh call her with like

uh daily Taylor Swift is a genius

update.

>> Taylor Swift lyric update routine is all

set up. And at the end of the day, Craig

will get to see his sister's reaction to

that routine. Craig's next task was to

draft a reply to a girl he's had on his

mind. How long have you been talking to

Ali?

>> Ali and I have probably been talking for

2 weeks. Can you just

make the plans with Ali as you see fit?

Saying it can draft a message, and I

just need to approve it. I can [music]

send it over. Hey, exclamation point.

I would love to hang out. No punctuation

after the second one. We have like no

time left. I'm I'm just I'm just going

to send it.

>> It didn't tell me who I'm going to be.

Like it didn't command that from me.

Instead, it like took pieces of me to

build up what I actually want to be, and

then allow me to be the own architect of

that. She just hearted my message and

said tonight. Tonight?

No, I I can't I've literally been trying

to go on a date with this girl for 2

weeks. The AI closed this in two

messages.

Are you saying it has like better game

than you? Unfortunately, it has better

game than me.

>> [laughter]

>> She just said we can do something

casual, like dinner and a movie or

something. And I said, yeah, sure, why

not casual, for sure.

>> Create a menu plan with recipes for

homemade pizza. One of the options is it

can call local chefs a private

Wait. Uh start searching for private

chefs in the area with availability for

tonight, and seek [music] pricing for

approval from me. Understood. We're

pushing forward right now to get the

private chef to your location as quickly

as possible. That is crazy.

>> That's wild. What other options do I

have? I need to get all these tasks.

Like I need to get this going now. While

GenSpark worked on more than 20 tasks in

the background, Craig decided to finish

a few more on his way to the coffee

shop. Hey, do you remember that novel

that we were writing, how we can

increase that tension to keep the

readers' attention,

so we can actually get them into chapter

four? At this point, GenSpark was

working on so many things that Craig's

main task became just making sure no

mistakes were being made. Hey, so I got

this 2012 Nissan Sentra and my

registration has been out and it's due

like yesterday's. Could you find a

mechanic in my area of Brooklyn, call

around to get the best quote just so I

know I'm, you know, not getting screwed

over? Near car registration? Hi, I'm

Alina, an AI assistant calling for

Craig. GenSpark wasn't just

multitasking, it was multiplying and

Craig was impressed. He was on three

separate phone calls at one time. Please

leave a voicemail with your name, phone

number, and a brief summary of what we

can help you with. Hi, this is Alina

calling on behalf of Craig. He needs a

quote for replacing the catalytic

converter on a 2012 Nissan Sentra. Even

if I could do that, I've only got one

phone. Do you know what I mean? So, that

was like incredible. Perfect. So, that's

a success.

There's a bag on the ground. Oh, no.

Look at literally.

Chicken noodle? Some Red Bulls? You want

one? I guess this is lunch.

Yeah. That's lunch. All right, what's

next? Go ahead and schedule a feedback

call with my dad concerning the traffic

routes.

I mean, I'm just looking at the math

here. It doesn't seem like you're very

on track. Is someone knocking?

Craig?

Hey, but what's your name? Saptar, nice

to meet you.

>> Saptar, nice to meet you, man. Yeah, are

you cook you dinner. So, this AI agent

called me. I was set up set up and told

to come cook dinner for you guys and

here I am. Looks like you got a date. I

got to get like going on this stuff, but

um While the chef started cooking, Craig

continued to knock out [music] tasks.

Let's get an update. Your Shopify store

is already ready and your product is

ready to be sold. Did you guys hear

that? New York Rocks? Up and running?

That is like a huge goal win for me, I

think.

Nice. Is this your first Shopify store?

I had the idea for years and here it is.

It's all like figured out. You have like

sales tax figured out and all that?

Oh, god. I've set up a business. Can you

help me out and figure out how to get

this thing registered legally cuz I

guess I don't need to pay

uh tax. Task to adjust the business

registration to New York Rocks LLC. Each

task started taking Craig longer and

longer [music] and everything slowly

started to turn into chaos. It does feel

like you're spending a lot longer than

five minutes on this. [music] Yeah,

you're right. You're right. You're

right. Uh the the competitor analysis in

the art space. Can we look back at that?

But I mean I mean for sorry. So, I mean

filing status

No, I

No, no, no.

The toy industry competitor SWOT

analysis includes a thorough breakdown

of strengths,

The chef needed help rearranging things,

distracting Craig even more.

Like go long long list The agent is

currently working on So, is there is

Oh, you got the paper towels yet?

I'm gathering options for purchasing

more paper towels, including prices,

>> [music]

>> quantities, and delivery details.

This is my business and it keeps my

personal money and my business money

separate.

>> [music]

>> What does everyone think? Looking good.

>> Yeah, you think? I don't have a strong

opinion. Oh, okay. [laughter] Just got

an entire order of paper towels here

from earlier. Dude, this is insane, man.

Like seriously. Oh, thank you so much.

I'll put it on the table. Thank you.

Thank you. Yeah. It was almost time for

the date, but the chef wasn't done yet.

>> Oh, perfect. Yeah.

>> [laughter]

>> Yeah, man. Look at that. Oh my gosh. So,

Craig did what he had to do. Let's go

here. Yeah, absolutely. And it's

actually going to be a lot faster if you

just go right. If you just go right out

just right out this way then

Yeah, perfect. He's parked out there.

>> You literally sent him the opposite

direction. But that's the direction that

she's coming from. If so, they would

cross paths.

>> [laughter]

>> While Craig finished setting the table,

I went out to go meet his date.

>> Hi. Do you know who Craig is? We've been

[music] talking a bit, just kind of see

if we had like a connection in person.

What do you know about him? Um

I'm going ahead and AI being

retrospective on everything that we've

been going over. Even right now, I've

got an additional 36 tasks running

throughout this dinner.

>> We weren't like steady communicating all

day every day.

Um and then just kind of out of nowhere,

he

he kind of took that initiative. Hello.

Hi Craig, I'm Ali.

>> [music]

>> Dinner was ready, so I left them alone

on their date while the AI actually

continued working on everything in the

background. In retrospect, it basically

sent like three people to my place. That

is a total game changer. Cheers.

Cheers. It was offering [clears throat]

to like analyze her Instagram to give me

questions to ask like that I was like

that nervous. But I I don't know. I

decided to like pump the brakes on that

one and just like, you know, I I'm

appreciative of the fact that it helped

me schedule that and find the time, but

you know, I didn't necessarily want to

go all in on that.

I'm sure you're probably exhausted.

You've been probably going for a long

time. Uh well, you know. It was really

fun. We had a really good conversation.

Food was very good and the wine flowed.

[music] We killed the bottle. He's like

kind of like cute little proud to be

nerdy [music] type. I was honestly

really impressed. This was like honestly

really fun. Like I'm happy that I did

it. Okay. No, I really liked meeting

him. It was it was Cool. very good time.

Sounds good. Thank you.

Dude,

I Let's go. I think that was great.

Honestly, I think that was like so good.

Craig still had 40 tasks [music] left

and needed to hurry to finish everything

in time. Moment of truth. I don't know

that I think Elon Musk does 216 tasks in

one day. Well, I mean like the thing is

like Elon Musk, right? He's like an

executive of people. He has an entire

[music] team of people that he's

directing what to do. I don't have that

in my life. This actually unlocked a

level of that where I was able to

basically direct the agents. So, I ended

up not having to do the work myself.

>> I I I don't know, man. It's it's so

messy after the date. I

This clean up, it can be one of the 216,

right?

I mean,

Did you end up saying that you made all

of this? I doubled down and I said that

um the pasta's handmade. It's very good.

I made this. She goes, "Oh, right. Yeah,

you made this."

Yeah, it would have been so good. Oh,

really? [laughter]

How do you live alone?

No, no, no. Never mind.

I think it's obvious why you live alone.

>> [laughter]

>> My my mom just texted me. She said,

"Thanks for the kind message." No

[laughter] way. I had all those emails

that I was trying to approve.

>> Hey, go ahead and find my highest

priority response emails. Anything that

looks pressing and then if you could

also construct an a response template

for me, I would like to use that to

approve that send to people that haven't

responded to in a while.

>> And I guess like my mom weeks ago sent

me "I love and miss you." As I was going

down approve approve approve approve, I

approved a response today that said "I

love you, too." So, like literally

that's what she was calling about. That

is so crazy. [laughter]

There's some good and some bad, right? I

think like immediately realizing I'm

neglecting my own mother is not very

good, but like the fact that

I don't know. It took the initiative and

made her feel great and like hearing her

voicemail and she was happy about that.

So, like from one instance, that's

great, you know, but more of a life

lesson that maybe I need to be spending

more time with my own mother.

Meanwhile, the AI kept posting on X for

Craig. It's posted eight [music] since

we started. It's about to post the

ninth.

>> I gained two followers.

Isn't that crazy? And as things wound

down, GenSpark sent Craig a recording of

the Taylor Swift call with his sister.

My [laughter] sister just texted me that

she said that that was wild with the

crying laughing emoji. Hold on, there's

a breakdown. I can I can actually listen

to it. Today's insight, a

and

connecting [music] modern pop with

timeless poetry. Cool, right?

That's pretty cool.

>> [laughter]

>> Thanks for your time, Kristen. Take

care.

>> Another approval for an additional 12

tweets

uh scheduled. Amazon item search uh for

>> It's 216 tasks, which is insane. It

sounds insane.

>> Those tasks aren't the defining thing of

what [music] Craig is, the concept of

Craig. Since more than half of Craig's

tasks were completed by GenSpark, it

left us with a big question. If the AI

did all the tasks that you could

possibly do, is the AI actually Craig?

Or or

>> [music]

>> what's or are you Craig? Who's Who's the

real Craig? I think I'm the real Craig.

It was doing things that I was directing

it to do and things that I want to do

accomplish. But at the end of the day,

like I was architecting the entire

thing. It was coming from, you know, my

mind and what I want to do accomplish

and like [music] allowing me to better

live and service my life. I'm the one

writing my book. I'm the one that's

interested in singing. I'm the one that

wanted to go on a date and, you know,

reconnect [music] with my sister. And

this was just getting rid of those tasks

that didn't allow me to better service

those aspects of my life. Five-minute

chunking is stupid. Don't do it. That is

not the good methodology. Don't take

that from this.
