Claude Code Replaced My 20-Person Marketing Team (Here's How)
1767 segments
If you are a marketer in sales or in go
to market and you truly want to call
yourself AI native, you need to watch
this episode. [music] On this episode of
Human in the Loop, the most actual AI
show on the internet, I talk to Cody
Schneider, who truly is a 100x [music]
marketer, and he shows you his systems,
his process, and everything that goes
into him being probably the most
effective and AI native marketer I've
ever met, and what [music] the future of
growth marketing looks like because of
AI. Let's hop into it.
Okay. So, we I'm going to start with a
tweet that you put out that blew up.
It's what got us connected to do this.
Um, so you said, "I don't think you
understand what is happening in GTM
engineering right now. I want to try to
explain this to you. What someone can do
in a day with cloud code plus APIs plus
plus nadn plus railway.com plus github
repo plus skillmd files is what a
fortune 500 would do in a year. Today I
made 40 Facebook ads, 100 landing pages,
wrote three guest blog posts for
backlinks, booked myself on four
podcasts with a cold email automation,
uh wrote five help desk articles, edited
two vlog vlog videos, scheduled 25
tweets across accounts, wrote two pieces
of scripting software to give away as
LinkedIn lead maggots maggots magnets
and baked bread from scratch and made
katsu sandos with my chief of fiance. As
I write this, I still have four hours
left in my day. I don't think you
understand what is happening in GTM
engineering right now. And as of
recording this, it has 315,000 views.
Now, I will say once we scheduled this
and people, I think had a lot of
feelings around your tweet there. I I
think you told me this. There was
actually a polymarket or call she bet
around if
>> Yeah. on whether this was like possible
to do or not basically, which I thought
hilarious. So,
>> so for the for the for the people who
read this and say Cody has to be a
fraud. What is your response to them?
>> I'm just doing I don't know, man. Like
with everything that I'm doing, it's
like this is what I'm experimenting with
and seeing work right now and I just
share it in public. Um it's I think for
a lot of people that have never
interacted with my content, they're
like, "Oh, it's a bunch of just cap like
full stop or like again this is just
what's working for me." like I just kind
of live tweet like here are the things
that are being successful based on like
go to market strategies like with my
company and with what I'm seeing with
friends companies who I talk to. So
anyway, yeah hopefully today I will like
give you all the tooling you need to be
able to do this yourself. It's totally
possible. Everybody that is on this call
will be a can do this. Like it's not you
don't have to have any specialties or
like any like you know specific
knowledge to get started on what I'm
talking about today. And before we hop
into it, like
how like how profound is what's
happening in go to market and go to
market engineering right now? Like what
is the impact this can have on someone's
career or their business if they get
this system right?
>> I mean this is one of the most searched
for roles right now. Like I've gotten
five uh messages in the last like seven
days from founders that are like, "Yo,
I'm trying I saw this tweet. I'm trying
to hire this person. Like who can you
intro me to?" Right? Basically like
looking for these skill sets. Um just to
give you context like I've worked in
startups for a long time. Um early stage
is what I specialize in. Like to do this
type of work like I would have had
traditionally to go out and hire a team
of like you know whatever 20 people to
execute on this. Um in contrast it's
just like it's just me now right like
this is the difference that this has
evolved into and like this is how
companies are starting to like leverage
all of these tools is to be able to
basically compound their skill sets and
like your domain knowledge that you have
combined with this is where the real
magic is. Like if you have a deep
expertise in one thing and you can you
understand the systems and the processes
for that, if you can translate that into
code, which is like literally what we're
doing, and then use this as a system
like to go and do activities for you,
like that's where the real like power of
this comes from. So I I I I don't really
have words for it. Like I'm actually
losing sleep about it to be totally
honest. Like I woke up at 4 a.m. this
morning. I was like, I think I can
do this like this totally like different
thing. Um I my friends are like also
like this like you know the the people I
talk to on a weekly basis that are in
growth that we just share like what is
working like what's happening right now
what's the meta that exists like
currently in the market they're all just
freaking out basically cuz the amount it
it's like I I was telling you off this
call like before we started Alex like I
I have a friend he works at a startup
like they're being too slow on shipping
what he's doing at the company. So he's
basically in this waiting period. He's
picked up like three side gigs doing
growth consulting for them and he's
shipping more using this type of system
than what he's doing at his day job.
Like that's how like the velocity that
you can go at. And I know there's like a
ton of people that are like, "Oh, it's
all slop. It's all it's all you can do
this really effectively." And we're
going to like talk to that. I know on
the like beginning of the conversation,
but
>> two two uh final things before we hop
into it. One is, are people going to
know how to make uh killer katsu
sandwiches by the end of this?
>> I can give you the recipe. I mean, super
simple. It's basically just like get
good chicken from a butcher, use panko,
and then just make like a tonkatu sauce
to put on the top of it. So, Mike,
>> love it.
>> My uh my fiance family is Japanese
American, so we get we kind of get
hooked up in that that neighborhood.
>> Cody is a Renaissance man or as someone
in the chat put it, the uh the Erlic
Bachmann of growth. Uh [laughter]
>> I love it. Hey,
>> that's
>> so good. I'm going to uh stop talking.
Let's fire this thing up. Where do you
want to start?
>> Yeah, I think I think just to begin with
like just a quick history of like what
is GTM engineering for the uninitiated.
Um so this really kind of started to
happen in like 2023. Um to originally it
was just like for outbound motions,
right? So uh Clay really kind of uh
solidified this as a job function and it
was really focused on like rather than
thinking about can uh the work that I'm
doing to do distribution as campaigns.
Let's think about it as like systems and
processes that are directly you know
trackable attributable and treating this
almost as like what a software
engineering function would be where it's
like hey we do weekong sprints we look
at the data we analyze what's working
and then we repeat those processes. In
the last couple of months, it's totally
had an evolution to now it's not just
outbound, it's everything. Like, you
know, it's it's inbound, it's paid ads,
it's organic SEO, it's like organic
content, it's you you you name it. And
there's not a thing that it's not
touching. And this has really become
kind of the foundation for like how
these like early stage companies are
doing really effective distribution and
growth uh strategies is trying to build
out these systems and processes and then
like I mean I'm seeing people
incorporate these into their code bases
as well right where it's like okay I
built this side project thing it's now
running the entire like you know blog
like organic content strategy and now
we're going to build this into the core
codebase of the company the entity you
know, uh, and then it's it lives on in
perpetuity. It's like this agent that's
just kind of working continuously in the
background that's in the core codebase.
So that's do you think do you think the
phrase GTM engineering is a useful or
valuable phrase anymore given that now
to your point like it started as
treating outbound sales like software
engineering, treating it more like a
science than an art? Now you're
basically saying it touches sales, it
touches marketing, and now even like if
you look at other companies like
>> Yeah. Now it touches like basically I've
heard GTM engineers referred to as
people who just like are truffle pigs of
inefficiency in a business and they
build agents and things for any function
of a business. So do you think that
phrase even has value anymore?
>> Yeah, I think it's just the the same
names, the exact same person that's
always existed for the last 10 years or
20 years. Like it was a growth hacker,
was a head of growth and Now it's a GTM
engineer. It's just the tooling and like
the activities they're doing are the
exact same. Like if I look at my
day-to-day like if I was to zoom out
like I'm doing the exact same type of
work, right? It's like I'm basically
trying to find marketing and
distribution arbitrage within the system
like figure out the positioning for my
company so that the audience is
receptive to it and then I'm going to go
and basically like build out processes
to go execute on that and then you know
have some type of data analysis over the
top of it to actually track what I'm
doing. It's that exact same thing. I'm
just changing the underlying tooling. So
I don't know if it like GTM engineering
really like encapsulates everything that
you can do. I just think that that is
like how people are talking about it and
describing it and it's also just like
one of those buzzwords that are for for
currently. But if you're in any role
that like gets people to buy things, you
can do these exact same strategies like
whether that's sales, whether that's
marketing, whether that's customer
experience, whether that what whatever
it is like whether that's revops, it
doesn't matter. You can all like use
basically these this foundation as a way
to like do your work, you know, more
fully. Well, let's uh now that people
have a foundation of what GTM
engineering is, let's uh let's give
people the sauce. Where do you start?
Yeah. So, to begin with, like how I
structure it.
Cool. So to begin with, like what I've
done is I just have this um file
[clears throat] that is on my local
machine that's in documents that's
literally just like this is what I live
out of now. This isn't organized. And I
know there's an engineer that's going to
see this and be like this is disgusting.
I totally agree. It doesn't matter. It
works for me. So basically what I've
done here is I've um like you can start
with an empty file and this is how you
begin this whole process is basically
make a file that you're going to live
out of. And the first thing that you're
going to do is create an environment uh
file. Um and it's called an EMV file.
This is where all of your API keys are
stored. And this is how you're going to
go and interact with all of the tools
that you use within your stack. And this
is what I'm about to show today. So what
I've done now is I've cded or I
basically moved into this directory. So
uh documents/graphthrowth
agents and then I'm going to start
cloud. I'm just going to assume that you
know how to like install clog code onto
uh your your um your applica or you know
onto your local machine. Um if you don't
know how there's tons of tutorials how
to do this so we're going to skip over
that basically.
>> Cool. And can you just zoom in a bit
just for
>> Absolutely. No problem.
>> Yeah. So thanks.
>> So now that I'm in this folder and I've
got Claude open, this is basically where
my work starts from and this is how like
I go about my process of uh you know
whatever it is that I'm doing. So a lot
of the times how I'm doing this is I'm
spinning up multiple cloud agents and
I'm putting them in different desktops
and then I'm just moving between those
desktops as I'm do as I'm doing work
other work in the background. So like
for example for the Facebook ads um uh
the first you know one of the campaigns
that I'm running right now is basically
a before and after. So I'm just going to
bring up uh this um uh like software
that we wrote for this. So uh give me a
second. I just got to remember the name
of what it is, but I'm just actually
going to transcribe. So, it's the
Facebook ad software for the static ads
before and after. Can you start this and
run it locally? So, what I just did
there is I used a transcription software
called Super Whisper to transcribe that
out. I'm now going to tell Cloud Code to
basically open up this software. Um,
what it understands is the file
structure, everything that I've done
previously so it can basically go and
bring this up for us. And so this will
be like the first thing that we do today
is basically we're going to I'm going to
show you how I built out this template
that is for ad creation and then show
you how I'm basically using this to go
and then do bulk ad generation. I'm just
going to walk you through this entire
process. Um and then show you how I
would like set up an AI data analyst to
basically watch this campaign that I'm
doing for testing and what I would use
for measurements of success. So this
whole thing here that you see is
entirely like AI generated. Um this is
actually components. So if I was like to
zoom in on this in hover, this is like
react components. So this is code. So
this came from an epiphany I had that
like all design is actually just code on
the under like if you go into Figma and
you're doing any design, it's just code
that's under the hood. So why can't I
just make these outputs using uh uh
React components? And then I use this
library called HTML to canvas. And this
library is basically a way to export
that uh uh React component as a
downloadable PNG. So built this template
out basically go back and forth with
claude to like create that template.
Once I've done that, I can then use this
to do bulk iterations. So then I created
this sec or you know this separate uh
function that enables me to go and bulk
generate as many different variations.
So it's just text variation changes. But
why would I be doing this? I'm basically
trying to uh test different angles that
I can talk about the same product from
to understand the positioning. Um so how
would I go about this process to
actually uh like you know create that
output. So just for again today we're
going to be using my company graft as
like the the the company that we'd go
about this for. So what I would go and
look for is I'd use perplexity to help
me identify. I I've now built this into
claude like I have an a file talking
about my MCP but just to zero to one
this process this is what I would do is
I would basically go and I would search
something like um what are the pain
points
uh that an AI data analyst
for GTM teams
uh do something like what are the pain
points that analyst would solve um and
then what are the outcomes.
Uh actually I'll just do this
transcription. So what are the outcomes
um
uh that a AI data analyst for GTM teams
like what would that GTM team want? What
would be the outcome that they would
want? And I'm going to use this as
source material for the ads that I'm
going to create. So I'm then going to
put this like uh tag to like search
Reddit for this
um to pull in actual customer
conversations. Um, so what I found is
that when I do this, I'm using the
language of my target customer. Like
here's their actual pain points and the
actual uh um, you know, outcomes that
they're looking for that I'm then going
to go incorporate into the bulk
production of this ad creative content.
So I'm talking in the language that's
going to be most receptive to them. At
that at this point, I would pull this
out. Again, you could use, you know, you
could use Claude, you could use chatgbt
for this. This is just what my workflow
looks like. I would then go to Claude
and I would say uh you know actually
honestly I'd probably just drop this
into this uh chat now. So, I'd uh drop
this in as context and then I would say
uh brainstorm
um
uh we'll say 40 ad uh titles and uh
supporting paragraphs
uh based on the source material
and then it's basically going to take
that into context. it understands that
it's interacting with this code that I
have written or that we've created and
then it knows okay this is what we're
trying to basically like change within
this um it's going to create those uh
title and subject or title and um
supporting paragraph variations and then
I can just say go and do the bulk
creation of these ad creatives at that
point it's going to make the zip file
for me of all those variations and then
I can upload that into Facebook ads um
this is something I'm like actively
building out right now is basically that
connector like I don't have this built
yet. It's halfway done. I was trying to
have it ready for today, but it's not.
Um, so I'm you're just basically going
to then uh like within cloud code, I
could basically say, "Hey, I want to
upload this zip file or upload all of
these images into this specific
campaign." So you can drop in this
campaign URL that uploads them in uh and
then um basically what it allows for is
either like it puts them into a draft. I
can change all of the um uh URLs like at
scale that they're sending to change the
subject lines. So it's written these
right and at this point I can say okay
uh now use uh okay now use the bulk uh
generation for the ads to create ad
variations of each of these and hit
send. So while this is working at this
point I would spin up another uh
workspace. So, I'd go then to documents
again
and go to graph agents
and I'm going to start cla again and I
would move this over
for
>> for one sec. Can we just pause for a sec
cuz you're like you've covered so much
good stuff and I just want to make sure
that uh I'm on the same page with
everything.
>> Okay. So basically what you've done like
the whole goal here is you're running a
ton of meta ads for your business and
your your whole thing is like the
bottleneck historically was getting
enough good creative to test and rotate
in when you're running paid marketing
but now basically you have the ability
to
one do research into your uh ICP for
your business and see like what are
actual problems or pain points
that kind of like the the end buyer for
the AI data analyst uh for GTM what are
the pain points they've actually talked
about online which is why you searched
Reddit you then use that output from
Claude or for sorry from uh Perplexity
but you could do with any LLM you feed
it into Claude where you then have
Claude create kind of like the um the H1
and any of the copy for the ad and then
you use all that plus this this piece of
software you've already built to
basically build 40 variations of the
existing ad you have. It's not connected
yet, but ultimately you're going to have
or connects where those 40 ads just get
uploaded into your ads manager and meta.
You can go through and decide which ones
you want to set versus not.
>> Yeah. Or I can just have AI tell me
which ones are the best like performing.
Right. So,
>> yep. This
>> and and a few people have had a question
here which is like well there's been a
bunch of questions but the process so
you already have this thing built
>> that is building the ads for you. I
think people maybe have question like
how hard is that like could anyone have
>> you did that in about 20 minutes to just
give context. I basically was like build
me like an a bulk ad generator like so
this this I built this first to
visualize it and it like has basic so I
gave it an example of an ad that I had
seen previously. I was like hey I want
you to make a template based off of this
and then I just went back and forth with
claude. So install the clog code skill
that's uh called UI design. Um if you
just Google it, that will come up. Um
and this will just like help with the
outputs um like from a quality
standpoint, just from like a design
standpoint. Um but this this whole thing
that you're seeing right here, like this
whole interactive thing, this was like
two prompts basically to get this live.
And then uh the bulk generator uh took a
little bit more, but it was just going
back and forth basically explaining the
outcome that I was anticipating. Um and
this whole build was about 20 minutes to
build this infrastructure. Awesome.
Cool.
>> Okay. So, I've now created all those
variations. Um, and I I just want to
zoom out to like why are we even doing
this? Like why am I making all these
variations? I I don't know what's going
to work on Facebook ads, right? I have
uh like gut intuition on what I think is
going to, but how like what the audience
or my audience is going to be most
receptive to. I I the only way that I
can identify that is through testing.
And so by doing all these testing
variations, that is like why that's how
I'm going to see like what the audience
is most receptive to from a positioning
standpoint once I find th those winners,
right? And I just have like examples in
here to show you this, right? So like
this is the CPC is 30 cents on this one
in comparison to 53 and 85 on these
other other examples. Um I can then say,
okay, well what does that what is that
messaging of that specific ad? How do I
go and remix that messaging across
different formats? So I would then take
this this messaging from this ad and I
would go and I would bulk generate for
example maybe UGC's to to do a different
ad format. So this is again something
that I'm building out actively right now
is basically uh like plugging into the
hey genen API so that I can then go and
uh bault create uh creative for uh the
um uh like based off of those winning
formats. And like I've already I'm
already doing variations of this, like
thousands of them, right? Like if I
could just continue to scroll. So all
I'm doing is taking the workflows that
are already working for me and I'm just
trying to automate as much of those as I
can, right? By using this tooling so
that it's in the background basically,
you know, functioning on this. So all
right, so it's completed that, right? At
this point, I would go back. I would go
to that bulk section. I could download
those uh those files. I don't know if it
updated this. Maybe it's only showing
the first five. or yeah, it's only going
to do these five. But anyways, this is
we could go back and forth basically to
be like, okay, this oh, so this zip
folder is in bulk ads comparison at
zips. Um, uh, add these, uh, to the bulk
page. Just say for/bulk.html
so I can download.
And then while that's working on this,
this is where this starts to compound is
I would go and I would start on another
process. So, uh, I found a winning ad
format that's working for me. Cool. Now,
what I want to go do is I want to go
spin up landing pages that are dedicated
to those winning ad formats. So, what I
how we've structured this is I use this
software called Strappy. So, Strappy is
an open-source CMS. You can run this.
Uh, this is like actually how we've
built this on graph.com. Um, so we use
Strappy. It has an API endpoint that I
can hit and this allows for me to go and
create upload and create blog content,
landing page content and whatever other
content formats that I want. So you
basically create a content format within
Strappy and then I'm going and
interacting with that through cloud
code. You could do this with any CMS
like you could do this with WordPress,
you could do we just use Strappy because
it's like infinitely scalable and we can
self-host it in the long term. So, if I
have a 100,000 blog posts that are on
the site, like this is a way that like I
can do this at that scale at a super
cheap cost. So, for these landing pages,
I already have a template that that
exists. Um, and all I want to do is
change the the the title and the um uh
the it's basically the homepage of the
website that is just like built into a
templated format. So, it has this like
H1 and it has this supporting. So say I
find a like Facebook ads uh uh uh angle
that is working. I could then go and
bulk generate those uh landing pages. So
this is one way that I would do this
with Facebook ads. The other way that I
would do this is I would actually
extract the keywords that are converting
from Google ads. So what's actually
creating the signup action or the
payment action and then I would go and
build these landing pages out at scale.
I used to do this manually. I now like
just use clog codes to do this. Right.
So, what I'm going to do is uh like uh
open uh the landing page
or let's just do this. Open the landing
page directory. We're going to build
some landing pages together
and get that started.
>> As you're as you're doing this,
>> what one question I saw from folks um is
how much do you have to spend like how
much are you spending on meta to feel
confident in these tests you're running
before you kind of double down on
winning creative?
>> Yeah. So like we haven't spent a ton to
be fully transparent. Like we're super
early stage. I like literally figured
out the positioning for this brand like
two weeks ago. Like we we started out as
really broad like we're this AI you know
business intelligence software and then
we funneled down into no we're AI data
like an AI data analyst for GTM teams
because we found this to be a massive
pain point when in the market where it's
like hey you're like you know 10 to 50
people and you don't want to hire a data
engineer but you need a way to unify
your data. We're the solution for that.
basically. Um, so it it really like how
I approach the structure of my like
Facebook ads campaigns. What I'll This
is just how I do it. There's a million
ways to do it. This is how I structure
it. So, I'll test all the ad creative
against each other in a click campaign
and then I'll look at what has the
cheapest CPC and I can run, you know,
we'll do like a $100 over a three-day
period to see which gets the cheapest
CPC. At that point, I'll take those
winners that have the cheapest cost per
click, which is typically an a leading
indicator that once I move them into a
conversion campaign, I'm going to get a
cheaper cost per action. Like, this is
just the what I've seen historically.
So, I take I test them basically in a
CPC campaign against each other. I take
those winners, I spin those out into
their own conversion campaign, and then
I give them their own dedicated budget
that they're running against. And this
is how like a way that you can basically
test creative like you know imagine
testing 200 different pieces of creative
on a monthly cadence to find those
winners so that you're always refreshing
the creative that you're like adding to
your your your ads platform that you're
using. Same strate functions with Google
ads as well. It's basically like I'm
just constantly looking at the uh
keywords that are creating conversions
or like getting the cheapest CPC in
relation to
>> it's kind of like this is the paid
marketing equivalent of you know uh I
know Gary Vee talks about this a lot or
even if you look you think about like
some of the best non-fiction authors say
like I even think about like Morgan Hel
or like um Malcolm Gladwell the way they
didn't start with books what they
actually started with was a tweet
that performed well. That tweet that
performed well, they turned into a blog
post. That blog post that performed
well, they repurposed a bunch of ways.
And then ultimately, like Malcolm
Gladwell's book, um I can't remember it
was David and Goliath or another one
literally is just a article from the
Atlantic or the New York Times that
performed exceptionally well that he
turned into a book. Morgan Hel's book
psychology of money is just a
repurposing of his best performing blog
post. But it's the same concept of how
do you as low resource as humanly
possible test something before you know
that it works and then put more resource
into it. And so the point we're at now
is like you run all these different
derivatives of ad creative and meta. You
see what works well and then once you
know what works well then you start
putting more resource into how that
messaging shows up and other parts of
the funnel.
>> Totally. And I I also think that like
the creative doesn't have to be perfect
to begin with as well, right? Like we
have these 40 variations that we just
generated, right? I go I hit download,
but the variations like I'm just going
to go back to the core of this while
that's running in the background. The
variations like once I find a winner, I
can always come back to this and have a
human touch this up and improve it,
right? Like people for some reason they
get stuck on like oh this isn't
malleable and like the internet you
can't just like iterate on top of this.
This is how software engineering has
like functioned for the last since the
dawn of everybody doing like what we're
doing within software right I you got to
think about it in that capacity we now
have like for example I see this with AI
avatar UGC ads all the time where
they're like oh I can tell that it's AI
avatar UGC. I'm like, great. You can
tell I some of the best performing ads
that I've seen have been AI avatar ads.
And then you know what works? What's
even like more interesting is when we
take that ad and then we go and we use
like V3. So my process as an example is
I would go and I would bulk create ads
with Hey GenE and then I would test
them. I would find a winner. I would
take that winner. I go to V3 and I try
to make a better version of that winner
with that same ad script. The concept is
what you're testing. the the the medium
that you put it on, like the platform
that you put it on to put it out in the
public can can evolve and can change.
But what I'm trying to get to is the
messaging component. And this is a way
that at scale I can do that. And then,
okay, I find that the V3 one that's not
performing as well as I think a human
could do it. Then at that point, I can
go hire a human, they read the ad
script, and we turn that into an ad.
What I'm seeing a lot of the times is
that the iteration that I can do I can
get a better I can move faster than what
I can do when I incorporate a human into
that process because I have to wait on
them. I have to like you know give them
feedback on how they're doing the script
read etc. And I can get an output that
is I I can just move so much faster than
what that human in the loop ends up
looking like. And if I can move faster a
lot of the times I can win. So again I'm
talking about startups though too like
we're an early stage company. This is
way different when you're at a larger
organization, but there's ways to
incorporate this into your workflows
that I I I think people don't like if
you just start to think in this way, you
you you can compound the experience that
you have. Like you you're you're no
longer like a p like a single person
that's joining a company. Like you're a
person with 30 agents behind you and you
have all this personal software that
you've written that you're now bringing
to the table. Okay. What leverage does
that give you to negotiate from a salary
standpoint? like you're not just hiring
me, you're also hiring my system that
I've developed and that I'm going to
bring into this organization when I
come. So anyway, I don't know if there's
questions around that I can try to
answer, but
>> yeah. What percent more productive would
you say you are given your use of these
tools versus old Cody?
>> I I've done I've done probably more work
in the last two weeks than I had done
since October probably. Um, like I I I I
can't even put a number on like it's
it's it's in it's infinite. The the
problem now is no longer like the things
that can be done, right? Like I can I
can we can be in here right now and be
like here we'll just do this. I'll just
be like go and make landing pages. Like
I'm going to do AI dashboard generator,
right? And then I'm going to use this
tool called keywords everywhere and it's
going to help me find all the longtail
keywords related to AI dashboard
generator. So it's going to pull all of
these out. It's going to extract these,
right? I can take every one of these
keywords. I'm going to download them
right now.
I'm gonna copy them. I'm going to go
over to Claude and I'm going to say make
a landing page for each of these.
>> Someone saying that you're in crisis
after understanding what is possible.
>> Yes. This is literally what it comes
into because you you you the [laughter]
I'm I'm like losing sleep over this. at
because of what you can do like it feels
like you're at this like tipping point
again with the domain knowledge that I
have like I have experience in what you
know these aspects like these deep
understandings if I can go and apply
this to that right it creates this
compounding effect in the work that I
can do that's just at a ridiculous level
basically and so cool it just said like
it just set this up seven new pages are
being created now it's going to give me
the URLs for those pages I can take a
look at them in a draft mode and I can
hit publish or I can just say, "Hey,
just hit publish and let's go like right
into the
>> and to create those pages because I'm
sure like I I had a similar question as
you were creating the bulk Facebook ads
like what's actually creating the design
there like um what Yeah.
>> Yeah. It's just the template of the
homepage. So all I've done is like
forward slash like page, right? And I'm
just going to go to this test page
integration, right?
>> It's just this. It's basically the exact
same thing of the homepage, only the
title and the uh P1 in the hero section
is being changed. The reason that we do
this is because when we see that when we
align the ad and the landing page that
we're sending them to, we can increase
the uh conversion rate that's happening
there. Like this is why you build, you
know, this is why there's like thousands
of landing page builders, right? Like
you could you go for hours talking about
like lead pages or like, you know, any
of these. The whole idea is I'm trying
to like optimize that funnel so that it
feels cohesive to the user that's coming
from an ad to the page that they're
landing on. Um what I'm how I'm thinking
about this now is like okay well this is
just a single landing page format. I can
go and make as many different variations
of landing page formats and then go and
test those against each other as well.
Like it it it this this expands kind of
infinitely in whatever direction that
you can imagine. And and I'm also not
like hindered by any engineering
resources with everything that I'm doing
here, right? Like I I'm having Claude
set up this infrastructure.
I'm then having Claude do the work for
me of like, you know, page by page
building out landing pages for every one
of these, right? And then I'm basically
deploying those. What this turns into
from here too is like cool, now I want
to go and I uh want to submit these to
Google Search Console so that they get
indexed. I like ask claude okay what's
the sitemap that these are under I then
say okay hit the search console API to
submit these so that they get seen uh or
uh so that this um sitemap starts to get
indexed by search console I see that
those pages aren't actually getting
indexed I can hit the web indexing API
from Google uh that Google provides to
basically do like a manual ask for the
indexing of that page the like it's
basically the exact same work that
you're doing but just employing this.
>> Cody, you're you're uh your you were
frozen for a second. I think uh your
your computer is like about to take
flight. They're like they're like I'm
trying to match Cody's energy right now
and it is not possible. I'm simply a
robot. But but I think um the I think
the the gist of it is like you you're
able to create at such abundance. Now, I
guess my question for you is is like
what is what is the biggest bottleneck
in a marketer or head of growth's job
now if you're functioning like a go to
market engineer?
>> Yeah. The the the biggest challenge that
you're going to be facing is the amount
of data that you can produce is at a
scale that you just like never could
previously, right? And this is actually
like the whole origin of the company
that I'm building, right? It's like
everybody right now can go and build a
thousand Facebook ads, right? Like I
just literally showed you how to do
this, but how do I understand what's
actually working? Like what is actually
happening within that data at the scale
that I'm at? Like this is this is the
challenge that all of these companies
are going to be facing. And this is like
exact. So we tried to solve this too.
Like I initially tried to build this
with like an MCP or just like hitting an
API endpoint to pull in the data. Like
Facebook ads alone for like one of our
customers creates 25 million rows of
data a month, right? like at the scale
that they're at, they're deploying about
180 grand of like spend a month. The
there is no way through an MCP or
through the Facebook API that you could
basically hit that. So before we get
even get into that though, like I'd love
to do an actual build just to like show
people the process where it's like, hey,
we're going to scrape LinkedIn comments
and like people that have engaged with
profiles. We're going to use this tool
called Phantom Buster to basically like
pull all that out. We're going to send
that to Apollo and then we're going to
send that to instantly AI to actually
like cold email these people just to
show people what do looks like. So,
>> and if you're watching and you're at
LinkedIn, I apologize, but this is going
to be awesome. [laughter]
>> Watch my account's going to get nuked
after this. So, give me one second. But,
um, but I just want to show people like
what this process like actually looks
like when you're starting from zero just
so that they can understand. So, I'm
going to start an entirely new window.
So, I'm going to go into terminal and
again I'm going to go into that
documents folder
and then go into that agents folder and
then I'm going to uh start cla and we're
going to start from scratch and I'm
going to say okay I want to build a new
workflow that basically will take the
engagers uh from a um LinkedIn profile
uh sorry from a LinkedIn post that I
find and it will then go and use the
Apollo API to enrich those individuals.
It's going to pull out the emails of
those people. Uh, look for the Apollo
API key um, within the environment file.
All this should be within the
environment file already. Ask me for any
API keys if you need them. Uh, and then
I want you to then go to the mill
million verifier and validate that email
and then add it to an instantly uh, AI
campaign. Let me know if you have any
questions. So, at this point, I'm then
going to turn it into plan mode and have
it basically walk through the process of
like, what do you need from me to get
this output that I just asked you for?
That is literally the origin of this and
20 minutes later, [laughter] you're
going to have that whole workflow built.
Like, you're just basically providing it
what it needs to do this activity for
you. This is like how simple this is and
this is how
>> Yeah. I mean, I was building a similar I
was building a similar thing yesterday
where I want to I've noticed there are
more go to market engineer, chief AI
officer, head of AI roles and to me
those companies that post those jobs are
great potential customer for 10X and so
basically I just similarly to you and we
have like a certain planning prompts at
10X but you can you know Claude's plan
mode is is more than sufficient. I
basically was like, "Build me something
that every day uh goes through and
searches LinkedIn jobs that have these
three titles or titles like them at
companies that have more than 200
employees. If you can't get it directly
from LinkedIn, use Exa cuz I know Exa
has basically scraped all of LinkedIn.
Enrich the data so that you know which
of these companies actually have more
than 200 employees. and then set up a
Slack integration where every day in
Slack we get a message with at least 15
jobs that have these titles at companies
of this size that we can send DMs to.
That's where it's at. Now, we can take
it a step further obviously and actually
like automate the drafting and DM
process.
>> Exactly. This is the whole like so what
you just described is where all of my
time is spent now is figuring out like
what is that arbitrage, right? And then
how do I go and basically like and this
is the game now, right? Like you're
you're competing against like people
like me, like you, like you know, our
friends that are all doing this type of
work. Like this is how sophisticated
it's starting to become. And like I I
I'm like honestly just like afraid,
right, for like I I you know I I know
people that are in these roles that like
aren't like adopting this or their or
their jobs won't let them adopt this
yet. there's just this huge opportunity
cost basically to like not like start
doing this immediately and I like the
other the other piece of it is like how
do you communicate this and like show
this internally of like the activities
that you're doing and again like the
with the system that we're like I just
to show you an example of this right so
okay I I spun up this campaign and I'm
going to go and I'm going to extract uh
the ad set ID okay and then I go over to
graph and I'm like cool uh like make a
dashboard
about this uh ad set. So, I've selected
like the um like Facebook ads and then
I'm going to hit send message. So, this
is going to go and make a dashboard for
me about this campaign that I just spun
up. While it's working on that, in the
background, I'm just over here doing
whatever it is that I'm working on with
cloud code, right?
>> Yeah. So, let's keep let's keep this
let's keep this LinkedIn thing going. I
think it'll be awesome for people to
see.
>> So, I built this pipeline already. So,
what I'm going to say is build uh like
something else. I'm going to be like do
it from scratch
to show the process.
So, gave it the output the outcome that
I want it. So, it just read my codebase
and it understands, hey, you already
have something like this. Um like are
you sure you want to basically do this
or do you want to do it a different way?
So, now what it's going to do is
basically go and design this whole
system for me of what I just described.
And this will have some back and forth
that's necessary where it's basically
going to ask me, hey, like I need these
API keys. Like here's where to it'll
walk you through step by step like
here's exactly where you need to go to
basically get those API keys that are
necessary for me. Here's the permissions
that I need. It's crazy, man. Like on
Facebook ads in particular,
traditionally a very like challenging
API to interact with. Um it is so it
understands the API so deeply like from
a totally
It's it's honestly like I can't even
find good documentation on Facebook
alone like about the API to like if I
was trying to do this myself, but by it
going and interacting with the API, it
knows what it needs to like it it can
guide me through this process.
Basically, it sounds ridiculous. It's
almost like you're a vessel for what it
needs from you to do the activity that
you're trying to
>> I mean that that is exactly what it is.
Like I think it's really important for
people to realize that with cloud code
it's it's one of those things where you
you really do not have to understand
software engineering. You just have to
be a clear enough thinker. But honestly
quad code is getting better at even if
you're not a clear thinker you're a
disorganized thinker because it's really
good at uh inferring what you want and
anytime you don't know something. So if
it's like I don't know using the example
of what I built like hey I want to
scrape for these things from XA if it's
like oh you need to go grab the sign up
for an XA account and grab the XA API
let's just say I didn't know what the XA
API was I could just ask it how do I
what is an API or how do I go grab the
XA API and it gives me the act exact uh
directions. So, and to the point Cody
made, it's like because Claude code and
these tools can now just build software
from scratch, it's using like people as
a vessel to get all the information it
needs to build these things. And we are
just a conduit for giving the
information it needs to basically build
software from scratch. Totally. I think
the other thing just to piggy back that
on like if we had this conversation two
weeks ago I would have had like nitn
within this workflow and like what I
found is that I'm actually now just
going directly to um like code like I I
I'm just skipping nitn as like within my
stack and just going like immediately to
like writing. So, for example, like I I
needed to set up a um basically like
after a sales call, I want to give a
notion document of the recording so that
it writes an email draft uh for me and u
uh based off of like what the follow-up
steps are for from the onboarding call.
Um I needed a server to be able to have
this run in in perpetuity in the
background all the time so I could like
send a Slack message and have it run. So
I gave like
>> by the way so so you guys know because I
think like you may be watching Cody
right now and you're like holy hell this
guy is frenetic and like he's context
switching to all these different things.
It's one of my theories that like
multitasking has always been like a
frowned upon thing. But what he is doing
is actually not multitasking. It's
multi-threaded work is the way I view
it. where it's now as things can run in
parallel. The only way to work is going
to be working on multiple things in
parallel because the cost of not doing
so is someone else who is able to do so
because you actually don't have to
divert your attention across many things
because another coding agent or another
claude is going to have all of its
attention focused on that one task.
>> Yes. And like this again I'm I'm just
basically jockeying these agents is how
I think about it, right? like I'm just
going back and forth between them and
like guiding them or doing what they
need from me and just to come back to
this so like I needed a server and so
that this software could run in
perpetuity in the background right so
like it be basically always beyond not
just using the CPU on my machine um so I
gave it my railway API key and I'm like
cool set up you know a type you know set
up the the server that I need it was
just like a node express server it set
that up for me it launched the software
on it pushed the the uh uh the repo to
GitHub to be able to do this. Like all
of this it handled on its own. Again,
while I'm working on these other
activities, whether it's like creating
dashboards or analyzing the data or
building out a new workflow for whatever
like opportunity that I see within the
distribution stack that I'm going after.
So anyways, I don't know there's other
questions I can crowd.
>> Where are we? No, no. So where are we in
the the LinkedIn build? Yeah. So, in the
LinkedIn build, uh it's currently uh
like here, it basically created this
action plan and it's now going to go and
like implement what I just described.
So,
>> cool. And ultimately, what you would
have to do for this to be like fully
built is you're going to need like an
API key for the thing that scrapes from
LinkedIn. You're going to need an API
key from Apollo, which is going to
enrich those leads from LinkedIn. You're
going to need an API key for instantly,
which is the thing that sends um cold uh
outbound emails. And there's one other
API key. What's million verifier?
>> Million verifier is just a uh email
validation software to check that the
email is like actually valid so you
don't nuke the cold email can like
domain that you're sending from. So
>> yeah. So basically what's going to end
up happening probably is that's the only
work you're going to have to do is get
these API keys from these different
sites. If you don't didn't know how to,
you could just ask Claude how to do it.
You're going to feed it to Claude and
then once it's done and you test this
out, if it works, amazing. If it doesn't
work, you just feed the error back to
Claude and tell it figure out how to fix
this for me.
>> Exactly. Um, honestly, it'll just do
that recursive loop for you. And this is
like why it's so powerful is like if it
sees the error that's occurring, like
for example, we had this with railway
when I was deploying the server, like
there was some bug that was occurring,
it just looked at the logs to see what
was happening and then fixed it so that
it could do the deploy. So this is now
completed right like it's now done this
basically um I can now just drop in a
LinkedIn URL here like what how I'm
going to extend this like just to
communicate it is like I'm going to
build this as a slack function so I do
like forward slashlin
uh enrichment right I drop in a LinkedIn
post URL and that will just fire this
whole thing off and that automatically
gets added to the instantly like AI like
campaign that I'm running that cold
outbound strategy from for people that
engage engage. So, as I'm scrolling
LinkedIn on my mobile, right, I find a
post that's relevant to the software,
the product that I'm building, people
that interact with that post, they're
valuable to the company. I take that
post link, I drop that into Slack, and
this whole thing fires in the
background. So, I this is this is the
compounding effect that can happen. You
can also just provide this as a tool to
your whole team as well. So they can
just like feed this into it or you can
have it where it's like automatically
scraping for these posts using something
like appy or rapid API to go and extract
the uh like most viral pieces of content
within the category that you're in. Or
if you know that specific creators make
content that is super val like that is
like they do that on a consistent basis
that your ICP interacts with you can go
and follow them. So like this is
something I'm building right now is I'm
basically taking like all the incumbent
competitors CEO's LinkedIn profiles. I'm
looking at their their content to see
who engaged and then that typically is a
great signal that they're like in a
buying motion with that company. I then
take that and then go and reach out to
them. So these are the like the levels
of the game that you can play with this
basically. So
>> and anything so we have about 10 minutes
left. Is there anything else you want to
show in kind of your build um before we
hop into questions?
No, I I I think the only like again the
only thing that I think is going to
hinder people is like thinking about
[laughter]
you can do anything now. So like what
should you do? And again like going back
to those like the data is going to drive
all of your activities. like you have to
have a solution for whatever it is that
you're like just going like I I see
these like tutorials all the time that
are like here's how to do like you know
this this action where it's like for
example like I'm going to make a
thousand Facebook ads like if you don't
have like an outcome [laughter] that
you're moving towards or a way to
measure this there's no point of what
you're doing like all the AI slop
tooling in the world will again will
enable you to to create as much content
as you want but unless you can actually
analyze that information. That's that's
the only way that you're going to be
able to like
scale with this. So anyways, that's my
only thought.
>> And two two other things here. One is
we're going to do questions now. If you
have questions, put them in the Q&A part
of the chat so that it doesn't get
drowned out by honestly the amazing
conversation that's going on here.
There's literally conversation in this
chat about people setting up a go to
market engineering WhatsApp group uh to
keep the conversation around this going.
But yeah, drop questions in the Q&A.
I'll take a look at those. Um, and in
the meantime, I got this question. So,
we purposefully make these
conversations, I would say,
technicalish, like not technical at the
at the level of engineering, but
technical where you are for sure going
to hear terms that you haven't heard
before if you're non-technical. And that
is purposeful. And it's purposeful
because our belief is that really high
agency people who are joining this
conversation and want to stay in the
frontier of this technology are going to
do the work to get those questions
answered. So I saw someone say like I
don't even know how to get a repo on
GitHub. I don't know what like you know
um exactly how an IDE works and what a
CLI is and all these things. So I didn't
know what any of these things were 10
months ago. I literally did not know any
of them. But if you one spend time in
this sort of conversation with people
also looking for the answers and
honestly with claude code there actually
is just no excuse now for for not
finding the answer to all these
questions
>> everything everything I talked about
today you can literally be like I don't
know how to do that like tell me how to
do this and it will walk you through
every part of that process. So
>> yep um cool. Okay so we're going to hop
in some questions. Um first question
from Tom Bab. Tom said you listed about
20 tools. How are you discovering them?
Google AI. Um, like where are you
finding the tools that you use?
>> Yeah, I I honestly it's like I've been
doing this. This is a terrible answer,
but I've been doing this so long I just
know where these things are. Um, the
like Twitter is Twitter and YouTube is
where all of this is happening right
now. Full stop. It's so funny because
like I'm not really active on LinkedIn.
Like I I'm it's it's a channel that I'm
really bad at. I'm just like not good,
not really built for the content that
like works there. Um, I'll see stuff
that went viral like 6 months ago on
Twitter and like that like has already
been adopted and implemented and like
basically like the arbitrage has been
exhausted and it will show up on
LinkedIn and it's just hilarious. So
like it it's it's kind of a cesspool
like full like full warning but like
that like where all this is happening is
largely on Twitter and like YouTube.
With that said though, honestly like
using a like if you're trying to solve a
problem like okay, how do I extract like
engagers out of uh you know like
LinkedIn posts, right? Like if you just
go to Perplexity and be like what are
the five best like tools for this? It's
going to give you examples of each of
those and then you'll be able to go and
implement those. And and honestly, I've
had Cloud Code like share stuff with me
where I was like, "Oh, I didn't even
realize that this was the solution that
would like be a better like for the
outcome that I'm looking for." So I I
think just like there's no there's no
rule book with this right now. There's
no like good educational material. It's
all just kind of happening in real time.
Like everything that I just showed you
has like transpired over the last two
weeks, right? Like that's crazy velocity
that this is basically moving at like
with currently.
>> Okay, we have a ton of questions in the
chat. I can just keep them rolling. Will
say
>> everything you've talked about today
seems like a tool for just you to use.
How do you think about deploying these
tools to a team for them to use as well?
>> Yeah. So what I just showed like that
can be a shared like a a piece of shared
software, right? So for example like the
bulk ad generator, you could just deploy
that like you could just literally put
that on a URL and then provide that to
your entire team or like how I see like
more sophisticated teams doing this is
they're like having a shared GitHub repo
and they're basically like as they make
changes to the codebase they like merge
that to the GitHub repo so everybody's
working on the same instance. Um,
there's multiple different ways that you
could go about that. It just depends on
like how sophisticated you wanted to be
like treating this as like a software
engineering activity or as like a I'm
just building internal tools and sharing
them with my team.
>> And again, you don't need to know how to
get your repo on GitHub or how to merge
a PR. You can literally just say I want
to share this with my team. What's the
best way to share it? It
>> will probably exactly
>> it's like cool. Here's this URL they can
now go to and you just deploy it onto I
don't even know what Purscell is, right?
But it sounds like they can access it.
So,
>> okay, next question from Kate. Do you
use this post on your owned channels or
do you just test on satellite accounts
uh and paid ads? How do you think about
quality control at scale? So, basically,
it's like if you're testing all these
different ads, do you worry about
knowing they're going to be bad ones
that you're testing on like your core
channel?
>> You could totally have that separation.
And then like basically like the the the
the paid ad spend for the winner is the
the um basically the the lens that you
you know that you sip through to then
move to your main. Um we do this a lot
with organic social where it's like I
have burner accounts that we're posting
ideas to and then once we find like
banger ideas, we'll then pull those over
and then put them onto mains. Um it just
depends on again the it it depends on
the situation of the organization that
you're in on how flexible they are with
like this type of uh uh this type of
testing. But I think if you go to them
and you're like we can create better
outputs like I need to be able to do
this like there's the conversation that
you can have and then proving that to
them like here's this KPI dashboard that
is showing you that I just decreased
like our CPA by 20% because I'm now
doing this like you know ad velocity
testing that we're talking about. So,
>> yep. Love it. Um, Eduardo asked, I'm
sure other people are wondering, can you
share again what is the process you use
in order to get the meta ad creative
done? So, can you just like almost just
go like step one through whatever step
of how you do that bulk upload?
>> Yeah, totally. So, so step one, um, I
would go to Claude and like I I would
basically be like, I want to build an
bulk ad generator. Here's an example of
an ad, like you know, square format that
I want to create. um like help me do
this. It'll lit like put it in plan
mode. It'll literally make a plan to
execute this. It'll ask you questions on
like how like variable do you want the
generator to be and then you like
literally that walks through. Imagine
like 10 minutes of you going back and
forth with it describing it. You hit go.
It will make that bulk generator.
[laughter] And then to redesign that um
uh that like piece of uh that like ad
creative. So like this is something
where we
having the language to describe the
thing that you're trying to describe is
the hardest part of this now. So for to
give you an example I have a co-founder
super technical like the depth of
knowledge he has and the language and
the vocabulary that he can use to
describe the outcome that he's looking
for is like so much deeper than I can
right so and to get to to to zoom this
out to give an example if I go to claw
and I'm like write a blog post about X
right it's going to write the most
average thing that you've ever seen but
in contrast if I interview myself say
I'm an expert at whatever this topic is
I'm going to like do a transcription
where I talk for 10 minutes. Like I just
monologue about the topic, my opinions,
my views. I use that as source material.
Then I also go scrape what's ranking on
page one of Google and I bring that in
as source material as well. I put both
of those into context and then I'm
write, okay, now write a blog post about
this based off of the content that I
provided. Use the source material as you
need. Use the vocabulary uh from the
transcript that I provided. the output
quality that I'm gonna get from that is
going to be like top, you know, 10 to
like what 10 to 1%, right? Like you're
gonna be finally in that and and it's
the same idea here. So when you're this
is the actual the hardest part like I
I'm act I'm actively doing this right
now. I don't have the design language to
describe what I'm trying to do with the
creative to create the out like the the
visual that I'm looking for. So like
something I just learned yesterday was
like, oh, you can talk about a grain
opacity. So you basically like overlay a
grain like SVG over the top of the
background and then I can put the
opacity levels at a different size to
basically create this almost like effect
where it feels like there's like texture
to it. And I was trying to tell it like
make texture, right? Like I I don't have
the language. And this is this is the
actual like hardest part of this is the
acquiring of that like domain knowledge.
And this is why people that already have
that domain knowledge that implement
this are so much more effective at using
this tooling. So
>> totally. And so just the to complete the
steps, the step was basically you have
cloud code build the bulk ad generator.
You give it an ad that uh you want to be
kind of the source material. Then what's
the next step after that?
>> Yeah. So give it the ad you want it to
be the source material. It's going to go
and make a variation of that ad. You
then go back and forth with Claude with
the changes that you want. And you can
just ask it be like, "Hey, this doesn't
feel super cohesive. The first version
that it did, for example, purple
background, like very like it looked
terrible, like tons of colors that
weren't on brand. I'm like, cool. Here's
our brand styled guides. Um, I want you
to like, you know, mimic this as much as
you can. How can we make changes to the
ad so that it fits this? I want I go
down that texture rabbit hole because
I'm trying to make it have like this
feeling of depth. So once I get that
that um the image to the quality that
like I want like the template to the
quality to the outcome that or the the
the template to the level that I want at
that point then I can say okay now I
want to like add a bulk generator to
this. I'm going to basically we're going
to change the title. We're going to
change the the um the paragraph. Um help
me brainstorm those ideas of like what
should be in here. Again I showed you
how to do that with perplexity and using
cloud. You could do that all within
cloud code. I was just, you know,
showing a different way to do the same
outcome. It's going to generate those
ideas. You can select the ones that you
think are the best and then you go and
do that bulk generation. Um, that whole
process again, like that's like 30
minutes of time to get that thing set up
that I just showed you how to do.
>> Love it. Last question for you. What
are, let's call it, the top five most
important tools you use in your stack
for doing what you do today?
Yeah, I think
it's it's it's I just try to keep it
simple and it's like literally like
on the most slept on. Okay, so just to
take a step back, I think the ability to
email like cold email people is so
underrated. Like I don't think people
understand like I can the the amount of
information that I can just like scrape
from the internet and then do bulk email
that's customized at scale. like just
having like a ton of domains or sorry a
ton of inboxes that are in instantly. So
we I for example I use hypertide.io for
all of my domain infrastructure. They
basically set up uh I have 2,000 inboxes
that I'm sending from um that I put into
instantly and then I'm just running like
multiple campaigns out of out of
instantly for whatever activities that
I'm trying to do. Right now we're
pitching me to go on podcasts. I'm
pitching YouTubers to basically like,
you know, do influencer marketing or
creator marketing for us and then I'm
also doing like traditional cold email
to our ICP. Um, I think that that is
something like having that ability to
just tap into that with like whatever
out out, you know, outbound you're
trying to do that's something that's
super powerful. Um, like again this clog
code like piece like I still do use
cursor some just for like small pieces
but my stack is basically clog code. all
of the uh all of the APIs that I work
with on a daily basis, I have that in
that environment file and then I'm like
living out of graph.com which is my
company for like all the analytics and
so like for example just to show people
like what this ends up looking like. So
we just started that campaign right of
like we're trying to go and basically uh
like track the outcomes of this like ad
creative that we just generated. I
basically was like build me a dashboard
about the adset with this ad set number
and I now have like spend I have
breakdown by the conversions I have like
where it's actually being shown on
platform. If I want to modify this or
change this in any way I just chat with
the dashboard. If I want to change the
chart style where I'm like change this
to a bar chart
it does this and then I can share this
internally with my team so that I can
actually create like you know basically
buyin from the organization that I'm
working at with. here's this KPI
dashboard that's actually showing the
outcomes that I'm doing based off of
this work that I'm doing. So anyways,
man, that's that's really it. I've try
to keep it as simple as possible. I
think people get obsessed with the
tools, get obsessed with the outcomes.
The tools are it doesn't matter anymore.
Like there's no limitation on the tools
and what you can get them to do. It's
the hardest part is knowing like what
should I be doing and then like how do I
polish that and measure like what is
actually working for my company. So
>> love it, Cody. This was awesome.
appreciate the time and uh look forward
to having you on again in the future.
But I think uh
>> thanks for having me. Everybody everyone
learned a ton.
>> Cheers.
>> Cool, man. Thanks everyone.
Yeah.

The video features AI-native marketer Cody Schneider, who explains the concept of 'Go-to-Market (GTM) Engineering.' He demonstrates his process of using AI coding agents, specifically Claude Code, to automate complex marketing workflows, such as generating bulk Facebook ads, creating landing pages at scale, and scraping LinkedIn for lead generation. The core message is that modern growth marketing involves leveraging AI to act as a 'force multiplier,' enabling a single individual to execute tasks that traditionally required a large team. Cody emphasizes that rather than focusing on specific tools, success now lies in having clear, systematic processes, strong domain expertise, and the ability to measure outcomes from the massive amounts of data these systems generate.
