Codex Basically Runs My Company Now. Here’s How.
1082 segments
If you use ChatGpt Claude, Claude
Co-work or Codeex, but don't know how to
use agents for marketing, you're in the
right place. I run my entire startup
inside Codeex and I use GBT 5.6, their
new model that's close to as good as
Fable to do basically everything. And
today I'm joined by Vashall, my
co-founder, who's transitioning from a
software engineering role to a marketing
role. And so today I'm going to show him
the nine most important workflows inside
codeex that help me use agents for
marketing.
So today before we dive into the
workflows I just want to kind of give
the audience here a quick explanation of
what codeex is. On the left here we have
our chats and we also can organize the
chats into projects if we want. And for
example, this is the agent native
podcast. And so I have all my chat
threads about the agent native podcast
here. So if I were to click on one, it
would show up right here. And then you
have the agent chat here. And then
whatever I'm working on with the agent
shows up here. You can go to codeex and
you can ask it for any knowledge work
task basically. And you can also ask it
to create an app. And you use codecs a
lot. You use codec and cloud code.
>> Yeah. Mostly for coding.
>> Mostly for coding.
>> Yeah. But but you're transitioning over
to marketing because it's kind of the
bottleneck.
>> I mean the the incremental value from
doing marketing is just higher now than
it was than it is for engineering.
>> We have Fable running 24/7. Our team's
able to do more and more.
>> I have Fable running right now.
>> Yeah, you have Fable running right now
in the other room.
>> So the first marketing skill or workflow
that I use inside Codex is one that
allows us to scrape all social media
content from every single platform. Let
me show you how this works. So, I have a
skill and I can just type in
slashscrapecreators.
Please find the creator Callaway on
Instagram. I love his social media
content. Get his best 10 videos from the
past few months and I want the
transcript and the raw videos and I want
them put into a new notion database. You
can put the notion database just in the
archive right now. This is just for
testing purposes. And then I also want
you to tell me why he's such an
effective short form creator. So I can
fire this off. And so for this one, I
don't think we need to use soul high.
I'm going to use 5.6 soul, which is
their biggest model. And we're going to
use medium. I found that your limits
will last quite a while if you use
medium. This is a straightforward task.
So we're just going to fire it off like
this. And now we're going to wait. I
think this will take 2 or 3 minutes. and
it's going to scrape all of Callaay's
videos from Instagram.
>> That's awesome. Did Did you make this
skill?
>> So, this is a skill that I created using
the scrape creators API. I found the
verified main account, Callaway, on
Instagram. And here it says, "The 10
source videos are now downloaded locally
and the 10 transcripts succeeded. I've
created the test database inside the
current archive page. Now, I'm uploading
the actual MP4 files and writing each
ranked record." So, it's basically
creating a database of his content, and
we're just scraping it. And I'll get to
this in just a second. I'm also for the
next skill, I'm going to be turning
Callaway's content into a separate skill
that allows me to tap into his like
really good scripting. So, so the goal
then is that you use these skills
together to find creators, learn how
they speak, and then adjust your own
kind of scripting, all of that process.
Ultimately,
the reason why AI is bad at writing
content scripts is because, you know,
with coding, it's very easy to verify
whether something is good or something
is bad, right? It's like, does the app
work? You know, it's it's way more
deterministic. It's easier to validate.
Whereas content, it's subjective. Yeah.
So, in that re for that reason, over the
last 3 years, even though AI's gotten so
much smarter, it hasn't gotten any
better at writing content. Now AI is
really good at replicating or using
something as an example and finding
patterns and really good examples and
then creating content. So the only thing
you need to do in order to create really
good content is provide really good
examples. And so that's what we're doing
here is we're giving a database or an
API to the AI agent so that whenever it
needs to create content like someone, it
can just go find good examples.
>> Yeah. And it also allows you to kind of
put in your taste, right?
>> And there you go. Look at that. Check
this out. So, it went to Instagram. It
found his latest videos. It has number
of comments, how long the video was in
seconds down to the decimal point. It
has the Instagram reel, number of likes.
Here's the script. This Chinese company,
Bite Dance, has officially released Seed
Dance 2, and this is a big one, right?
And you know, these subtle things. And
we I just showed you his videos, and
it's he's very melodic, and he has
really good scripting. In fact, that's
like what his content is about. And so,
if you make your content or in
marketing, you're going to want to pay
attention to this. And so we now have
all of his videos scraped and in a
notion database and then we can open
notion directly inside codeex.
>> That's awesome.
>> And check this out. So here's the actual
raw video. It scraped this and
downloaded it and it just uploaded it to
notion. And so one of the really useful
things for this if you're a video editor
oftent times like if you're doing like
compilations or even create like just a
normal video editor like Leo,
>> he wants to get B-roll a lot. And so you
can do this on YouTube and you could say
like go find videos of Switzerland or go
find videos of Alex Hormosi and he could
actually pull the videos, search the
video for segments of the video where
something is there, like find videos
where Alex Hormosi is walking outside
and you could get a B-roll clip of him
and put it in the hype video you're
making about Alex Horoszi. And so it's
really useful for video editors. And as
you can see here, this is just
incredibly useful. We can scrape
anything and this works on any platform.
Hey guys, by the way, every single skill
that I mentioned in this video can be
found in the link in the description and
you can see all of the skills and I
actually included a lot more skills in
this. And you can also hire the Riley
Brown agent. And so this is an agent
I've been working on. And if you just
click hire agent, you can immediately
add this agent to your iMessage. And
then your agent will automatically start
up. And then you can immediately start
texting your agent by pressing text and
open messages. And this will create a
new message. You can say, "Hello, Riley
agent. What skills do you have?" And
just like that, an agent will actually
respond.
And there you go. It gives you a little
contact card. And here are the skills.
So, here are all the skills that it has.
And then also, if you want to change the
model, you can go slashmodel. And this
is just in iMessage.
And this will give you all of the
different models. You can say switch to
Fable
and now it says switch to Claude Fable
5. Anyway, so this agent is free to try.
You have access to all the best models
and you can try it for 100% for free.
And I created this on Chorus. And Chorus
is a platform we've been working on for
the past 3 months and we're trying to
create this open agent platform where
you can use any model connected to all
of your tools and you can add it to
iMessage, Slack, and any other platform.
I would love your feedback. Anyway, it's
free to try. link is in the description.
But I want to move on to the second most
useful codec skill for marketing, which
is turning any creator into a skill. So
here I can stay in the same chat. And
what I'm going to do is I'm just going
to use Whisper Flow. I want you to
actually go do some more research. I
want you to find all of the videos that
got the most engagement. So I want the
top 10 videos that has the most
engagement that are not sponsored on his
channel. And I want you to then upload
this to the database. So refresh the
database. Then I want you to turn all of
the his top performing videos into a
skill. Call it Callaway top performing
and that is the name of the skill so
that I can write content in his style at
any time by using that skill. So now
we're just firing off Codeex. It's going
to go find his best performing videos
and it'll create the files inside codeex
so that anytime I type in Callaway top
performing, it'll let me write in his
voice.
>> Yeah, it's that easy.
>> That's awesome. And you can do this for
any creator in any vertical. And it just
works.
>> And it just works.
>> And it's fetching all the way back to
2023.
>> What does it say? The full history poll
is substantially broader than the first
test. I'm paging through the accounts
real archive back to into 2023. So older
breakout hits can compete fairly. I'll
retain the exclusion evidence for every
rejected sponsor/promotional post. So
it's filtering out all the sponsored
content because those can be boosted. So
it's like fake. like it's it's not real
engagement. We want the high quality
high quality scripts. Sponsored posts
should not fit into that category. Here
we go. Now we have videos. And look, all
of these have over a thousand comments.
And now we have all the videos. And so
all of these videos are guaranteed to be
some of his best. And this is his old
style, too. This is crazy.
>> This is hot off the press. Microsoft
just launched their Excel.
>> Pretty cool. Yep. I remember this video
went insanely viral. And so now it
updated the database and now it's
creating this skill that we can use.
There we go. So it created this skill
called Callaway top performing. Now if
we were to go into a new chat here by
pressing command N, I can type in
Callaway top performing. See that? I
want to create a script on the JSpace
news by Anthropic that came out. You
remember that they they released a cool
thing. I thought it was a little
confusing. Callaway does a great job
explaining things simply while also
making it seem urgent and cool. Please
create a script for this. Write three
options in his voice. All right. And
this is all that is is just a file with
those transcripts that we scraped. But
the point is I didn't have to go fetch
the information. I didn't have to go
write his script manually or do
anything. I just said go find him. Turn
it into a skill.
>> Just use a skill and go do the job.
>> There you go. Bang. It's done. Look at
this. I'm going to read it like
Callaway. Anthropic just found a hidden
workspace inside Claude's brain. That is
such a good hook and ex like actually so
good.
>> And the weirdest part is nobody
programmed it.
>> Nobody programmed it. They call it
JSpace. And Callaway does that in every
single one of his videos. This is
exactly in his tone. And Thropic just
created something close to a lie
detector for AI. It's called J Lens.
Interesting.
>> Yeah, they had that as well. Like
>> was that a thing? Yeah.
>> Okay. Okay. Very interesting. And so
yeah, I tried different angles, but like
honestly I think option one is really
good. And so that right there is how you
take any creator, turn them into a
skill. Okay, time for the third most
useful workflow inside Codeex, which is
very similar to scrape creators, and
this is scraping ads. Now, every time I
say the name of this skill, it just it
feels weird because this is an
educational video. It's called Foreplay.
Foreplay is just a name of a company.
They made a useful tool because it
allows you to scrape every ad ever
created. And so if I can type
slashforeplay
API and I can immediately just scrape
ads from any competitor. I want you to
please scrape the longest running. I
want to unpack that. When you scrape
their scrape content and again this can
be static ads or video ads. You can just
scrape them. You can download the video
or download the images. You can download
the transcript but you don't get any of
like the data. Obviously, they have
internal data that shows like whether
>> how it's performing,
>> the ROI, you know, like the rorowaz on
the on these specific ads, but the one
metric that we can use for kind of as a
proxy for that is how long they've been
running it. If you run an ad for nine
months, right? It's a pretty good likely
that
>> presumably they're spending a lot of
money keeping it alive for a good
reason.
>> For a good reason. And so we what I
always like to do and part of this skill
if you download this skill in the
description my agent will automatically
do this but so I want you to please
scrape the longest running ads from my
competitors which are quad.ai
perplexity and chatgpt
and
replet. And so these are my competitors.
I want you to scrape their longest
running ads and let's go ahead and put
it in a notion database. This is just a
test database. You can put it in the
archives folder, but I want a database
of all of the information from this. And
I want to take a look at what ads are
performing well. So add a little text
field in this notion database, which is
are your thoughts on why their ads are
doing well. For each one, I want a
little document that explains why their
ads are doing well. And please create
this database and I'll analyze it.
Anything else I should add? Probably to
get the raw. Please get the raw files.
And actually, I want the top five video
ads from each one and the top top five
static ads from each one. Make sure the
videos are in English only. And so, we
can fire those off. And this is a prompt
that may take a while. I mean, this will
probably take three, four minutes. And
actually, you know what? I'm going to
stop it real quick. Since it's going to
be doing some analysis and pattern
recognition across a lot of data, I am
going to go ahead and turn up soul a
little bit. Let's just fire this off
with extra high. And I'm just going to
say keep going. And we want a little
more intelligence in there. And this may
cause it to take a little bit longer,
but that's okay. We want to know why
these ads are performing well, so we can
create ones that are as good.
>> Yeah, that makes sense.
>> Okay, so it's done. This one worked for
10 minutes. So, this was a long task. I
think it just took a while to do. This
is this is a big task. And remember,
there's analysis steps. So, I used extra
high. So, this will use more tokens. So,
if you're on the $20 per month plan, you
might only get a few of these props with
this model, but it's done with this
database. And so, if we can rightclick
on this and hit open in browser. So, we
just can open this right here. And there
you go. It even has a CTA, which is like
sign up or install mobile app. Here we
have Replet, Chat, GBT, Perplexity,
Claude. Oh, here it is. Raw creative.
So, we can click on this. What is this?
This looks like a static. And so, we
asked it to grab five statics. This
should probably be a video. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> You're probably sitting on an idea you
can actually make money with. Using
normal words, I just type what I want a
vill's inter. Then I just go on my life
for a few minutes.
>> Wait, I've seen this ad before actually.
Yeah. So weird seeing the ones that
actually perform well.
I caught that.
There you go. This one's kind of like a
brand building one type vibe, but there
you go. We have all of these ads, right?
You know how long it would take to like
gather something like this in the preAI
world? We just gathered it just like
this. So this offer is concrete. The
deadline creates urgency. The birthday
framing makes it promotion feel
celebratory rather than discount driven.
So it actually analyzed. It not only
scraped and got data, it analyzed every
single video. And so I think that's
probably why it took long. It had to
analyze each video. And so the videos
probably took longer as well.
>> Yeah. And it probably had to get the
transcripts, think through why. And
look, if you uh go back to the the
beginning of the table, it has the CTA
all the way.
>> Oh, all the way over. Yes, it has the
CTA, which is like this is a sign up
driving to learn more. So, you could
ask, "Hey, here's 20 of my competitors.
I want you to only find the top
performing ads, meaning longest
performing ads with a specific type of
CTA because we want mobile app
downloads. This is I want you to find
only ones that are CTAs for mobile app
downloads." Yeah. and you could just
find all of them. Okay, so what I want
to talk about is static ads for a
second. So I think there should be 25
static ads here, but what I'm going to
do right now is I'm going to add all the
static ads to paper, which is uh an AI
native version of Figma. I'll show you.
And then we're going to put our brand on
the static ads. So we're basically just
going to use them as templates for our
own ads. So we can run a bunch of static
ads. Hey, I want you to please take all
the static ads and put it on my open
paper app right now. And this is kind of
a bonus skill. I have this one. It's
called paper paper MCP, which allows me
to connect to paper, which is basically
like Figma. And so, we can run this. And
I have this open right here. And I can
just name this ads. And then Codeex is
just going to control paper, and it's
going to add the static ads to this.
Here it is. So, you can tell an AI is
working on this board because you see
this little icon right here. And we have
this like little animation which I like
a lot. And here it's like static ad
swipe file clawed perplexity chat GBT
and replet. And here it's going to put
>> you can see it adding it in real time.
>> It adds it in real time which is like
super engaging and fun honestly. And so
there it goes. It added those statics.
>> Oh, that's awesome.
>> Yes. And honestly I would have preferred
it just adds it just the static. like I
don't need the whole like it put it in
this like I think it's just like this is
all HTML based. So, but I can like
select the asset directly. And what
we're going to do in a second is add our
own brand to these. And here we go.
Here's the chat GBT one which is pretty
cool. So, we have Perplexity Claude
ChatGBT and here comes Replet.
>> Is it done?
>> I think it's done. Wait. Claude,
Perplexi, CHBT, and Replet. So, all 20
ads that it scraped were added to this
Figma- like board. But it gets even
cooler. You know what? I'm making this
up on the spot because I just thought of
a really cool workflow. I'm going to go
ahead and use please use the firecrawl
and I want you to go to chorus.com,
find the landing page, and I want you to
scrape all of that whole page and I want
you to basically put it on the paper
board right next to this. And so then I
will be able to have our brand that
we're going to be working with and we'll
be able to use that with those static
ads and we'll be able to replace it. So
just take the page, put it all there,
and then right next to that I want you
to just take all the individual assets
from the page and put that in a
different frame. One with the chorus
website, one with the assets from the
website.
>> And this is like a real workflow that
like people do in their jobs.
>> Yeah. I mean this this is a real
workflow that people do in their jobs. I
don't know if anyone's ever done this
flow with AI. I actually just thought of
it on the spot. I was just going to show
the scrape creators. And then I was just
like, wait, I don't want them in a
notion database. Like this not my
creative flow. I want this on Figma. And
so we're adding it to paper. And then I
realized like, okay. And then I thought
in my head, I was like, okay, so we need
to replace this with chorus assets. And
like, wait, how do we get that on the
board? Oh, wait. We can just use
firecrawl to scrape and put it on there.
So we'll wait a few minutes. This does
take a little bit of time because it has
to scrape through the whole website, but
it will eventually be added to this
board and it should add it right next to
this. Here we go. So, it just created
these two new boards as you can see
right here. Chorus website reference
chorus asset library. Here we go. It
pulls the entire landing page perfectly.
Puts it on the board. This is crazy
though. This is crazy. And the reason
I'm reacting like this, obviously I'd
done all of the other skills that I've
mentioned in this video. This is
genuinely the first time I've tried this
with paper, so I'm just having a lot of
fun here. Okay, so here we have the
logo, the word mark, and the icon, which
is really cool. Oh, there's more. Oh,
wow.
>> Wow.
>> All of it. Let's go. Oh, and this one I
can select into it, which is really
>> Oh, it's still working.
>> It is still working. And here we have 26
source files, specialized agents. This
is very FOD. So now we scraped all of
the assets. And so what I like about
Paper, they have a built-in image
generation. And so you can just pull the
images out and you can just copy and
paste them outside. And so these are the
ones that I want to replicate. So I can
just come over here and we could just
choose like whatever part of the brand
that we want to use. And I guess what we
should do is we should let's snag the
logo. We can snag actually let's snag
the word mark. Actually, I think that
looks cooler. And we can paste this
here. And I'm just going to put it here
so we can see it a little bit. I'm also
going to grab this little figure here.
And so you're kind of just creating this
like mood board with all of the assets
that you want to include. And what we
can do is I can select this. We're going
to select this image thing. Now I'm
going to select this, this, and this. I
need to create a new ad for Chorus. And
I gave you the logo and the word mark
and just another screenshot of their
overall branding. And this is allows you
to create custom agents that can do work
for you. And so what I want you to do is
replace the replet formatting with an ad
that is for chorus. Use good
copywriting. An open AI image 2 is
actually good enough to like actually
use realistic copywriting and it can
just generate a bunch of these assets.
>> Wow. Oh, it made one.
>> Okay, so here we go. We have chorus AI
employees that do your work. Create
custom AI employees that handle tasks,
projects, and entire workflows. And you
can see here it organized it in a very
similar way as this replet one. And now
you can play around with this. This is
just an idea that I thought of. If we
wanted to like replicate this one, I
think this might be a good one. I could
use a pro and I could select this, this,
and this. Please change this. Keep the
guy the same and the background the same
and change the logo to the logo that I
put at the bottom. And then have it say
chorus instead of replet. And then I
want you to say, "Built a $100,000 agent
for $50." That should be the copy.
Change nothing else except the colors to
match the chorus brand. And then you can
just fire these off. They're starting to
come in here. And I think they just got
cut off a little bit. There we go. So
this is what it created. Build a
$100,000 agent for $50. Built with
Chorus. And there you go. We pulled all
the top performing ads and we just
replaced our branding. Would we ever do
this word for word? We would change it
more than this. But the point I'm trying
to get at and why this is important is
it allows you to find the best examples
of high performing ads and then it gives
you an idea for just creating a ton of
ad content, which is what you want to
do. You want to experiment a lot with
ads. And so this skill allows you to do
that.
>> Yeah. And you and you can modify the
prompt here in paper as well. You can
make it like do drastically different
variations. Like you can experiment with
it. And honestly, if you use this, tell
me in the comments if you tried this or
something like it. I would love to
figure out your workflow because again,
this is the first time I've ever
actually done this inside paper. And so
I would love to know your thoughts. But
I think it's time to move to the next
useful skill inside Codeex. Okay, so the
next useful skill that I want to show
you inside Codex involves scheduling
posts on social media. So I have a skill
called buffer publisher. And what I can
do is I can take this post that we just
created on paper. I'm just going to
paste it in right here. Hey, I actually
want to run this as an Instagram post.
And I also linked, so can you please
schedule this on Buffer? And so I can
just fire this one off. You do not need
to use a good model for this. This is a
relatively simple like put the image,
send it off with an API. And I can just
fire this off. And we're scheduling it
on Instagram and LinkedIn. And it's
going to use Buffer. Buffer is a tool.
It's like a social media manager. And
here we go. Oh, so it says, "Please send
the caption and desired date and time."
Good call. Make this a draft. And then
also for the caption, just say, "I can't
believe he built a $100,000 Asian for
$50. Oh my god, scared emoji." And one
interesting thing I guess you could do
is you could use the scrape creators
skill from earlier to find what kind of
captions you
>> Hey, can you please use the scrape
creators find Greg Eisenberg on
Instagram and go through his captions? I
really like his captions. Can you use a
caption just like him and then I want
you to just schedule the draft and then
send me the link to the draft and we're
going to fire that one off. So now we're
using a skill that we mentioned earlier,
scrape creators to get the caption.
Really good idea. Okay. So after 90
seconds, it is done. So what I'm going
to do is rightclick. We'll open this up
in the browser. And we got Let's go to
the draft. There we go. We have a post
added to Buffer. And we can see the full
post here. Full screen it. We have the
asset right there. It added it. It's
ready to be scheduled. And you know, I
did say to create a draft, so it's not
actually scheduled, but I could have
asked it, hey, schedule this for next
Wednesday. And it probably would have
done like an approval thing, be like,
hey, do you want me to schedule it with
this caption? I would have said yes, and
it would actually be scheduled. I don't
have to think about it until I see it on
the feed.
>> That's awesome. And it uh look at the
tone of the the caption.
>> Yes, a doctor built a $100,000 AI agent
for $50. And this is just kind of how
Greg Eisenberg would do his captions.
And that's how you can use scrape
creators with this bufferuler. So this
makes scheduling social media posts much
easier. You don't even have to leave
codeex. And one thing I want to mention,
you can also use typefully for those of
you who love to post on Twitter. This is
actually how I I we actually manage
seven Twitter accounts for our company.
And so you can also have multiple
accounts logged into your Titefully and
you can schedule posts directly on
Twitter as well. So this is just another
option beyond buffer if you just are
focused on Twitter. Okay. So for the
next skill, this one is less visual but
more practical. And this is a Google
Drive skill. And one thing that's really
important with Google Drive, especially
in marketing, and you'll realize this is
you're filming a lot of content. We're
filming this video in chunks, right? So
there's folders with videos and folders
with videos and there's a whole
hierarchy you need to follow. And so I
have this skill which I call agent
native drive. And this just has a
document and it just basically tells the
agent to analyze the folders deeply for
patterns. And then there's also a
document within the skill. You can
download the skill and below if you want
to take a look a closer look at it. But
it basically just tells the agent very
quickly how the folders are organized.
Also, this points at a master folder,
right? So there's a master folder which
is called agent native. Yeah.
>> And so that that is that in and of
itself is useful because you can point
the agent at a specific folder every
time you use this skill. So, that's
another useful part of it.
>> Does it reorganize your drive as well?
So, it like cleans it all up.
>> So, what I could say, actually, you know
what I'm going to do is I'm going to
say, I'm actually doing a podcast with
Gary Vee in 2 months. Can you please
create a folder for him and then create
a doc for video and then create a hook
and make sure to look at the other
documents in this folder to to get a
kind of a good idea of what intros I've
been using for Agent Native and then
list a few questions that I could ask
him. And yeah, and so create create all
the files needed for this and make sure
to give me links. I didn't have to
explicitly mention that because that's
part of the skill. Part of the skill is
whenever it creates a document or edits
a document or creates a folder or edits
a folder, it always provides a link so I
can immediately open it inside codeex.
Okay, it's done. So it created a much
shorter version. Actually, it's slightly
shorter version of the hook and it did
that in 50 seconds. And so it's very
good at controlling docs and drive.
Okay, so the next skill I believe is one
of the highest leveraged skills that I
have because as you know I'm starting up
this podcast and I want to get really
high quality guests on the podcast. And
one way that I do that is by sending
calendar links and some of them are
different. Like some of them I want like
if it's if it's about a topic that I'm
interested in right now, I might want to
get them only in the next few weeks. If
it's something that's more evergreen and
like I already have talked about a
certain topic, I might want to get them
two months from now and beyond. Yeah. Or
maybe they might be doing a product
launch and they want to do it 2 months
later. And so I want to be able to send
them a calendar link with different
dates on the calendar that they can
select from. Yeah.
>> And so I have a skill. It's called
cal.com.
Now cal.com does not have an official
plugin directly inside codeex. But you
all you have to do to set it up is go to
cal.com get an API key paste it in and
say create a skill that fully controls
cow.com and it'll work one minute later.
And that's exactly what I did. So for
this, let's say I wanted to inter send
this to Gary Vee. We're gonna stick with
that example. Actually, no. We're gonna
interview Shaquille O'Neal. That's a
better better one. Let's do it. Okay.
Hey, I'm going to be getting Shaquille
O'Neal to talk about AI on my podcast,
but I want this podcast I need time to
prepare for this one. So, I actually
want the only available days like stick
with this Tuesday, Thursday schedule,
but it should only be the only day days
that should be available are in
September and October. And then for this
one, I also want you to create a
document for it and write the intro. So
that's I want you to give me and then I
want you to draft an email for me with
that Cal AI link. I want you to just
create a little email that I can send.
Just write out what I should put in that
email.
>> So you're going to email Shaq your
custom Calendarly link.
>> Yes. And so it'll be able to read my
custom calendarly link and it has I have
it by default Tuesday Thursdays like
noon to 5. People can schedule any time
in there, but I can get it to edit it so
that it's only within a certain date
range and I can just ask Codex to create
it really quickly.
>> Yeah. And the cool part about this skill
is like you can put your own preferences
into it and then it'll make new cal
links in that you know with your
preferences in mind.
>> Yeah, 100%. It's super useful. Okay, so
it worked for a minute and now it gave
us this. And so we can see here that it
gave us this email draft subject agent
native podcast. Hey Shaq, I would love
to have you on my channel for a
conversation about AI. By the way, I'm
not actually interviewing Shaq. Well,
>> who knows?
>> You're watching Shaq. I'm down. But
here's the link, right? This is the
skill that we're focused on right now.
We can open this up in browser and we
can actually see what availabilities. No
availability in August. View next month.
Right? I said September and October.
Nothing in November. You see, it created
a custom link and it just created it for
the perfect date. So, I said, "Hey, I
need you to create it." However, I could
have just sent this to Shaq directly,
but that takes us to our final skill,
which is email drafts. Okay, so for our
final skill, this one to me is actually
the most useful. And it may not seem
like much. This is one that you actually
have to experience and use for a while
to understand how valuable it is. All we
did here was like create a draft. I
can't edit this manually, right? Like
it's annoy like I'd have to see like no
change this word, change this word or I
have to copy
>> something else. Maybe something else.
It's really annoying. And so what I can
do here is I can say hey please I can go
to draft email draft. I actually want
you to find his email or find the email
that you think best matches Shaq. Like
if there's one that maybe he has that
public that people can message him,
please use that one. I want you to
create an actual draft. And what this is
going to do is this is actually going to
draft an email on Gmail and it's going
to send me back a draft link where I can
edit it and send it. Oh, nice. And then
after this, this is just one email at
one time. I can do this for as many
emails as I want in my inbox and which
I'll show you in just one second. Let's
focus on Shaq. Honestly, they might find
his personal email. I found a better
routing target than a generic foundation
inbox. Drew Russo at Better Collective
Playmaker, the media group behind Shaq's
current big podcast. The address is
publicly listed for big p podcast
contract you know and this is another
thing anything public on the internet
codeex can scour. So look at this what
this does is this sends me a link I can
open this up in browser. Okay so after
59 seconds it sent me this link right
here and this is what this skill does is
it sends me a link I can click on.
>> Mhm.
>> And so I can just open this up in my
browser and since I'm already signed
into my Gmail it'll just open it up.
Boom. Now, instead of seeing it in here,
right, I can just edit it and send it
and it's ready to go. I don't have to
like
see. This is useful when like I want to
send something to a group of people and
you want to CC four people in on it and
the AI is good at at like scouring your
email and figuring out who you should CC
on it. And so that's really useful.
Okay, so I know what you're thinking,
right? That's only one email at one
time. However, you can actually do this
for a ton of emails. You can have Codeex
analyze all of your emails, find which
ones you need to respond to, and it can
draft all of them up and send you links
to all of them. Let me show you what I
mean. I want you to find all of the
emails over the last two months where
people have offered me a product and
say, "Hey, do you want to try out this
product?" I want you to politely and
with a little bit of pizzazz say,
"Decline. I want you to decline, but
then I want you to say, do you want to
try our product?" And then give them a
link to our product and try and be
convincing and try and get them to
actually use our product instead. I want
a draft link for all of these. I don't
care how many it is. Just send me a
draft link for all of them. And again,
we I I don't have to mention again. I
just like to do it just to show you
which one we're using using the email
draft skill. And again, this will be in
the description. We can fire this bad
boy off. Okay, so here we go. We have
five responses. It went through our
email. And let's just go ahead and check
on this. And remember, open in browser.
This will open up the side panel. This
should load a draft. And look at this.
So it says this person said, "I have a
founder who just built an AI interview
called Talia. Hey, thanks for reaching
out." Talia looks sharp, but I'm going
to pass on trying it for now. That said,
plot twist. Want to try our product
instead? [laughter]
That's great. Let's see how the other
ones did. I'm actually not going to send
it. That guy seemed like a harmless
founder, which which I don't want to do.
But look, it just takes us directly to
the thread and we can just scroll down
to ours. Thanks for following up. This
demo is impressive, but I'm going to
pass on trying it for now. Let me flip
the script, though. Why [laughter] did
it is kind of weird to transition into
like hey re [laughter]
>> it's a weird transition.
>> All right. This one I'm gonna send.
Okay. Uh open in browser. And as you can
see here, this is just how I go through
it. And like if you're batching emails,
you know, especially like in the creator
business, you're reaching out to
creators all the time. And so you can
send like, hey, one thing that you were
doing I saw today while you were working
is you were scraping their creators
content and then having a personalized
email sent to them, right?
>> Yeah. So I was trying to look through
the transcript, see what kind of content
that they make and personalize the
email, right,
>> for them.
>> Absolutely. And so like if you were
doing that in some email scenario, you
could personalize the email and create a
draft for all of them. And then your job
is just to check the draft and make sure
it just looks good at the end. And you
can just rapidly go through these and
there you go. And I just love a little
pitch
>> a little product pitch boomerang though.
Want to try ours? [laughter]
It's great. And so that's a really
useful skill. And so like the a few days
ago I had to respond to like 20 and it
just sent me 20 draft links. All of them
sound like me. Because remember your
agent will keep your memory of you as
you kind of like work. And you can also
tell it say like hey if it keeps making
mistake over and over again say like hey
please update the email draft skills so
that you never say this or that or this
or that so you get it in its context.
And so that's just incredibly useful.
Okay so we covered a lot today. We
talked about using codeex for marketing.
We talked about being able to scrape all
social media accounts. We talked about
being able to turn that scraping into a
content creator skill. So you can scrape
a creator, turn them into a skill. We
also talked about scraping ads and
within that we also talked about a fire
crawl skill and a paper skill which is
incredibly useful. A fun way to scrape
and get it in and firecrawl allows you
to like scrape a website in full get all
the assets. Paper allows you to kind of
use this Figma-l like board. We talked
about social media scheduling organizing
your Google Drive which includes using
Google Docs or any type of Google file.
We also discussed scheduling uh with
links. This works with Calendarly or
Cal.com. And then we talked about my
email draft skill, which is actually my
highest leverage one. What do you think
is the most useful one we covered today?
>> I honestly think the three, four, five
combination is like pretty pretty
powerful, right? I mean,
>> it's hard to compete with one though,
too, with the scraping all socials.
>> It is. Honestly, you could say one
through five together are like you can
use them. The
>> these are kind of like the content ones.
They're kind of more fun, you know, like
like these ones are just like very like
visual and you're able to create high
quality content
>> and and they're practical, right? You
don't need to be having a tech company.
You could be doing any kind of business.
>> Yeah. And these ones are more like
operationally focused. Um, which are all
super useful for marketing. Like you
can't just be creative if you're running
like if you're, you know, working at a
company and doing marketing. You need to
be organized as well. But anyway, I hope
you guys got a ton of value out of this
video. And again, all of this, all of my
skills are going to be in the
description. So, make sure to check that
out and I will see you here for the next
video. Michelle, thanks for joining.
Yeah.
