If you want to get good at using

0:01

ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Co-work,

0:04

Codex, or any other AI agent platform,

0:07

you're in the right place. Today, we're

0:09

talking about becoming agent native.

0:12

We're the person at your company with

0:13

the most knowledge about using AI agents

0:16

effectively. In this video, we're going

0:18

to be covering the nine inevitable

0:19

trends in the AI agent space that if you

0:23

understand, will make you 10 times

0:25

better at using AI agents in business,

0:27

[music] no matter which agent tool you

0:30

use. This video is not about the latest

0:32

tips, [music] tricks, skills, or weird

0:35

prompt engineering hacks, because the

0:37

truth is most of that stuff will change

0:39

over the next year and likely will

0:41

become irrelevant. In this video, we're

0:43

going to be talking about the nine

0:45

inevitable trends that won't change.

0:47

Let's dive into trend number one.

0:51

So, the first trend that you need to

0:52

understand in order to become agent

0:54

native is that AI models are getting

0:57

much smarter. And so, when I say AI

0:59

models are getting smarter, I mean that

1:02

we are moving from a world of prompt

1:04

hacks to just saying what you want in

1:06

natural English. For those of you who

1:09

were around in 2023, early 2023

1:12

specifically, when ChatGPT first came

1:14

out, every other Twitter thread was a

1:17

ChatGPT prompt hack. And the most

1:20

popular one was "I want you to act as."

1:24

People would say things like, "I want

1:25

you to act as a virtual doctor. I will

1:28

describe my symptoms and you will

1:29

provide a diagnosis and treatment plan."

1:33

Some people were even talking about how

1:34

you should say, "I want you to act as a

1:36

Linux terminal." And now, in 2026,

1:40

nobody does this. You just ask for

1:42

whatever it is that you want. "I want

1:44

you to act as" basically does nothing.

1:48

Similarly, for those of you who were

1:49

around in the early cursor days, in the

1:51

early days of vibe coding, you remember

1:54

how important it was to at-mention the

1:56

file that you want to edit. And people

1:58

started calling this context management

2:00

because you were always having to

2:02

@mention the different files in your

2:05

code base. And now, all the best

2:07

developers that I know simply just type

2:09

prompts into Claude Code or Codex. And

2:12

oftentimes, people use the voice mode

2:15

and just yap into Claude Code. And they

2:17

just send the prompt off. And they don't

2:20

spend any time @mentioning the different

2:22

files because AI agents and AI models

2:26

are getting so good that all it requires

2:29

is natural language. The better you are

2:31

at describing the thing that you want,

2:33

the better AI is going to be at creating

2:36

the thing that you want. You don't

2:37

actually need to know the hacks. You

2:39

just need to be able to describe to a

2:41

computer what it is that you want. And

2:43

again, this is true across the board.

2:45

It's not just normal LLM work or vibe

2:47

coding. It's also AI-generated images.

2:50

For those of you who were around, you

2:51

remember that Midjourney was full of

2:54

hacks or these things called parameters.

2:58

So, if you wanted an image that was high

2:59

quality, you would use {dash} {dash}

3:01

quality or {dash} {dash} Q. If you

3:03

wanted it to be personalized, you would

3:06

do {dash} {dash} P. If you wanted to use

3:09

a style reference, you would use {dash}

3:11

{dash} Sref. And then you would type out

3:13

this code that maps to a specific style.

3:17

Fast forward to today, and if you're

3:19

using the GPT image 2 model, none of

3:22

that matters. There are no hacks. It's

3:24

simply about descriptions. So, I can

3:26

click on this image right here. Please

3:28

make his shirt green. Make his hair

3:30

orange. I'm talking about the guy on the

3:32

left. The guy on the right, give make

3:33

his glasses blue. Make his hair green.

3:36

Make the background logo yellow. Make

3:39

the whole entire background

3:41

rainbow-colored. And make the text say,

3:43

"English is all that matters." And then

3:45

I can just, you know, run this as many

3:48

times as I want. And English is all that

3:51

matters. There's literally no prompt

3:54

hacks. Just describe what you want and

3:56

there you go. All of these were

3:58

generated and I you can pause the video,

4:00

look at my prompt, which was just me

4:02

speaking into the GPT image two prompt,

4:05

and it came out nearly perfectly for all

4:09

of the images. So, the lesson of trend

4:11

number one is he who can describe what

4:14

they want the best will inherit the

4:16

world. Said another way, the only

4:18

enduring prompt hack is describing what

4:21

you want. And so, the second AI agent

4:23

trend that you need to understand is

4:25

that skills are taking over and they

4:28

will self-assemble. And so, if you use

4:31

Claude Code, Claude Co-work, or if

4:33

you're like me and you use CodeX, you

4:35

probably have set up a ton of skills.

4:38

Like I have this Excalidraw diagram

4:40

skill. I also use plugins like the

4:42

documents plugin or the Gmail plugin. I

4:45

also have a YouTube thumbnail plugin, a

4:47

YouTube researcher plugin, or a YouTube

4:51

channel brief skill. All of these are

4:54

skills. And all of these skills point to

4:57

instructions. These are just instruction

4:59

files that are stored somewhere inside

5:02

CodeX. And these skills, you can find

5:04

them by clicking plugins and you can

5:06

click skills. And these are all of the

5:08

skills that I've created. I've created

5:11

over 100 different skills that I use

5:13

every single day. And so, whether you

5:14

use Claude, and that includes the Claude

5:17

desktop app, or Claude Co-work, or

5:20

Claude Code, or if you use CodeX or

5:22

Cursor, all of these tools have skills.

5:25

And all skills are are task-specific

5:28

instructions for the agent. And so, this

5:31

is how many people started creating

5:34

skills if they were using a tool like

5:36

Claude. And this is the way that I

5:38

actually don't recommend or I actually

5:40

just personally don't like doing. You

5:42

can just go to the customize tab. On

5:45

CodeX, it's the plugins tab. But you can

5:48

go to skills and you can hit plus and

5:50

you can like you can create a skill by

5:53

uploading a skill and you can upload

5:55

these skill files and so you can

5:57

manually type these out and you can

5:59

create these skills that your agent can

6:02

use when your agent deems it necessary

6:04

to use these specific instructions. And

6:06

this is not the way I create skills. The

6:09

way that I create skills is I will tell

6:11

the agent to do a thing, then I'll get

6:13

the agent to do the thing better or to

6:16

make the thing better and then I'll just

6:17

tell it to turn it into a skill. For

6:20

instance, I have a skill called YouTube

6:24

researcher skill. Please look up my

6:26

latest Codex video which is called

6:29

something like learn Codex in 95% of

6:32

Codex in 20-something minutes. I want

6:35

you to create write out the exact hook

6:37

from that video and then outline the

6:39

rest of the video. So here's the agent's

6:41

response. It extracted the transcript of

6:43

the video, turned it into the full intro

6:47

and then it outlined the rest of the

6:48

video. This is really good. I have no

6:50

notes for this. Please, I want you to

6:54

turn this into a skill called hook

6:58

outline. Okay, so now it's working in

7:00

the background and it is going to create

7:02

a skill that will show up here called

7:04

hook outline. So now that that's done,

7:06

I'm going to make a video on Devin the

7:09

AI tool very soon so I can say I'm

7:11

making video on Devin. Please try to

7:13

decide what I would say and you to

7:15

create a uh slash hook outline. We've

7:19

created a skill and it should create it

7:21

in that exact format that I just showed

7:24

you. There you go. I know this is a very

7:25

simple skill, but look at this. It

7:28

created it in the exact format that we

7:30

specified earlier. And let's say I

7:33

actually want these links as hyperlinks

7:36

in the outline. I'm going to just say,

7:39

"Hey, please remake this. If the sources

7:42

are relevant in the outline, please

7:44

include it there. Then once you're done,

7:47

I want you to update the skills so you

7:48

do that in the future. Okay, here it

7:50

says done. I also updated the hook

7:52

outline skill. And so in the future hook

7:55

outlines, I'll put the source links

7:56

directly in the relevant intro or

7:58

outline beats. And there you go. We have

8:01

the intro and the outline with relevant

8:04

links within the actual description, not

8:06

just listed at the bottom like it is

8:08

here. So the takeaway for trend number

8:10

two is just to use skills often,

8:13

especially for repeatable tasks. And the

8:15

second part is when you notice where a

8:17

skill can be improved, just ask. And the

8:21

meta trend or the longer term trend that

8:23

I want you to notice is you're going to

8:25

see this process happen automatically.

8:28

Your AI agent is just going to create

8:30

skills for you. And then

8:32

depending on your responses, your skills

8:34

were will auto update. The The AI tool

8:37

that does this the most is actually the

8:39

Hermes agent, which is kind of just a

8:41

better version of Open Claw. Their AI

8:45

agent is really good at auto updating

8:47

skills, where you actually don't even

8:50

need to ask. And so the future of AI

8:52

agents is just auto updating skills

8:55

depending on how you interact with it.

8:57

So trend number one, smarter AI models.

9:00

Trend number two is skills are becoming

9:02

really important and soon they will

9:04

self-assemble. And trend number three

9:07

actually encapsulates both of these two

9:09

trends. Trend number three is that AI

9:11

agent platforms are becoming general

9:14

purpose platforms. And so when I say

9:16

general purpose platforms, I mean super

9:19

apps. And the two main super apps that

9:22

are available on the market are Claude

9:24

Desktop and Codex. And Claude Desktop,

9:27

if you can think of a super app, the

9:29

three main functions are just chat,

9:32

co-work, and Claude code. You can chat

9:35

with Codex. You can create presentations

9:38

on Codex, which is just like co-work,

9:40

and you can also do coding tasks on

9:42

Codex. And so, the main takeaway is that

9:44

these model providers, like OpenAI and

9:47

Anthropic, are building platforms. So,

9:50

this is Codex, one of the super apps,

9:52

and it has basically everything that I

9:54

might need in order to do knowledge

9:57

work. It can create a new chat, so I can

10:00

chat with an AI agent. That's what I'm

10:01

doing here. I also have all my plugins

10:03

and skills that I can and I can create

10:05

just by talking to my agent. I have all

10:08

of the automations. So, anything that I

10:10

type here, I can turn to an automation.

10:12

We'll get to this in just a second, but

10:13

you can create automations. And as of 2

10:16

weeks ago, they also added sites. So,

10:18

any website that you create with the

10:20

plugin sites on Codex will actually host

10:24

the app for you. It'll put it on the

10:26

internet. This is a direct competitor to

10:29

Replit, Lovable, Bolt, tools like that

10:32

that do all of these hostings. You can

10:34

just do that now inside Codex. Right

10:36

now, this is only for internal tools and

10:39

internal sites for you and your team,

10:41

but very soon, I have a feeling that

10:43

this will be for everyone. You'll be

10:44

able to host your ChatGPT sites and

10:47

share them with anyone. A good super

10:48

app, you should be able to multitask.

10:51

So, at any point, I can hit command N,

10:53

please do research on my email, tell me

10:58

what I need to respond to. And if I want

11:02

to, I can type Gmail, or we can use the

11:05

Gmail plugin. And then, as soon as that

11:07

starts going, I'll see it here on the

11:09

side panel. I can hit command N, please

11:12

tell me my schedule for tomorrow. And

11:16

then, as soon as that sends off, we can

11:18

see that it's working here on the side.

11:19

Please tell me the improvements that I

11:22

need to make for my personal website.

11:25

Let me know. And as you can see here,

11:27

you can multitask. You can talk to the

11:29

agent that's running in your super app,

11:31

and you can talk to many agents in

11:33

parallel. And then the most important

11:35

part in my opinion, or at least the part

11:36

that I I'm most excited about, is the

11:39

in-app browser. Your AI agent, because

11:42

it can search the web, it can find any

11:43

link, right? Here we can see that this

11:46

gave me a link. I can right-click on it

11:47

and hit open it in browser, and it will

11:49

open it up here because this is a full

11:51

browser. And this built-in browser is

11:54

getting better every single week,

11:56

basically. And so that's all the general

11:58

agent stuff, but they also have built-in

12:00

all of the Vibe Coding stuff. Like you

12:02

can press command J, and you can open up

12:04

a terminal, and you can run Claude,

12:06

right? You can run Claude directly

12:09

inside Codox, which I do quite often

12:11

because Claude is better at design than

12:15

the OpenAI models, but I like the Codox

12:18

interface better. I like the super app

12:20

better. And so the main takeaway from

12:22

trend number three, that involves

12:23

general-purpose platforms or super apps,

12:26

is you should just simply learn one of

12:28

the super app platforms. They are here

12:30

to stay. They're incredibly fun to use,

12:32

and they're incredibly useful. So the

12:34

fourth trend that you really need to

12:36

understand in order to become AI agent

12:39

native, is that these AI agent tools, or

12:41

these AI agents, are connecting to the

12:44

tools that we already use. And so on

12:46

these super apps, you can very easily

12:49

tell your AI agent to summarize Slack,

12:53

summarize your email, or also grab

12:55

everything from Linear. But this is only

12:57

just the beginning. Not only can you

12:59

have your AI go check these data

13:01

sources, you can communicate with AI

13:04

agents directly through these platforms.

13:07

So you guys should probably recognize

13:09

this app right here. This is iMessage, a

13:11

tool that billions of people use. Well,

13:14

guess what? I have Claude Code and Codox

13:16

directly inside Chorus, and I can say

13:19

something like, "Please, can you analyze

13:23

my latest 20 videos on my YouTube and

13:29

make a personal landing page for them

13:33

that I could send to potential sponsors.

13:38

And so this is actually a group chat

13:40

with Ange and Muhammad and the AI agent

13:44

is going to respond to me directly

13:46

inside this chat. And look at this. It

13:48

just responded. So this is my content

13:50

agent that I created on chorus.com. Love

13:52

this. Pulling your latest 20 now and

13:55

building a sponsor-ready page. Give me a

13:56

few minutes and here we go. We can see

14:00

this page right here. It opened it up

14:02

and I created this directly through

14:05

iMessage. And so the general-purpose

14:07

platforms or super apps or or AI agent

14:10

platforms meant to be used on the

14:12

computer, whereas these AI agents that

14:14

connect to the tools that we use where

14:16

we can communicate with them through

14:18

iMessage and Slack. For these you should

14:20

be using cloud-based AI agents. And so

14:23

these are AI agents that never turn off.

14:27

And these are a lot better for agents

14:31

you want to use in a group. Maybe of a

14:34

small team, maybe you and one other

14:36

person are creating a company. It's

14:38

great to use cloud-based agents. So we

14:41

just created an iMessage agent. Now let

14:43

me show you how you can create a

14:44

Slack-based agent. So this is the agent,

14:47

Riley's marketing agent, that I created

14:49

on chorus.com and I can very easily give

14:53

it a phone number to text directly

14:56

through iMessage and it's literally one

14:57

click. It'll give you a number, you can

14:59

text that. But also I know a lot of

15:01

people for work like to use Slack. So

15:02

you can go to your platforms and we've

15:06

already added the SMS and here you can

15:09

also add Slack. And so now I am in my

15:13

Slack channel and I can just type

15:15

@chorus. Hey, I need you to do in-depth

15:18

research on Alex Hormozi and how he's

15:20

done such a good job with his YouTube

15:22

channel and I want you to tell me 10

15:24

ways that I can apply all of his

15:28

insights the way that he makes videos

15:30

into making my content better. Also look

15:33

at Theo from T3 chat that guy on YouTube

15:37

and then I want you to make a little

15:38

landing page which just kind of

15:39

describes how I can apply it to my own

15:41

work. And when you're done I want you to

15:43

email it to Ange and Emily. And you can

15:46

see here that Chorus just reacted to it.

15:49

So my agent has literally reacted to it

15:52

and so now I know that it's working on

15:53

it. And there you go. A couple minutes

15:55

later we do see this response from the

15:57

AI agent and I just gave it the email

16:00

addresses for those people and now it's

16:03

the Chorus agent is thinking and it

16:05

should give me a link to that page. And

16:08

there you go. The AI agent directly

16:10

inside Slack responded with this public

16:12

link and we can open this up and here we

16:14

go. We have the Hormozi and Theo

16:16

playbook. It analyzed all of their

16:18

YouTube videos and gave me this report

16:21

that I can just send to people. This is

16:23

public on the internet. And just like

16:25

the super apps the same exact way you

16:27

can also add skills. You can browse a

16:30

marketplace of skills just like you can

16:32

in the cloud desktop app and the Codex

16:35

application. You have platforms where

16:37

you can message it directly through

16:39

iMessage Slack WhatsApp and Telegram.

16:42

And that's kind of the difference

16:43

between these cloud agents and these

16:45

super apps is because this is running in

16:47

a computer in the cloud you can message

16:49

it through all these different platforms

16:51

and your computer doesn't need to be

16:52

open. And again you have all of these

16:54

different connections you can connect it

16:56

to all of your different tools and you

16:58

can do cron jobs which we'll get to in a

17:00

little bit. And so trend number five

17:02

that you really need to understand to

17:03

become AI agent native is that

17:06

foundational skills will rise to the

17:09

top. So as AI gets smarter which was

17:12

trend number one it becomes easier to

17:14

create skills or repeatable instructions

17:17

for your agents. As AI agents become

17:19

more general purpose and as general

17:22

agents, specifically cloud agents, enter

17:24

the tools that we use like iMessage and

17:27

Slack, foundational skills will be what

17:31

matters. So, you can think of it as the

17:33

at the top you have like hacks, like

17:35

strategies like we were talking about

17:37

early, prompt hacks or different APIs

17:40

you can use. And then in the middle you

17:41

have tools, right? You have your for the

17:44

general agent platforms you have Codex

17:47

and Claude. On the cloud side you have

17:50

tools like Poke and Chorus and others.

17:53

You have the tools, but what actually

17:56

matters is not the tools that you use,

17:58

rather the foundations that you have as

18:01

a person. And a lot of these are

18:02

communication skills. Because agents are

18:05

going to start to feel like just talking

18:07

to a team of AI agents in platforms that

18:09

are extremely intuitive, partly because

18:12

super apps are going to be really easy

18:13

to use, and then also AI agents will

18:16

just live in the tools that almost all

18:18

humans already know how to use, what

18:20

matters is just communicating with these

18:22

agents. Can you communicate with Claude?

18:25

Can you communicate with Codex? How are

18:27

your delegation skills? Part of that is

18:29

understanding what good looks like. And

18:31

so that means you need to become an

18:32

industry expert at whatever it is that

18:34

you're doing. I'm really good at

18:35

creating content. That's kind of my

18:37

superpower. I am definitely able to

18:40

delegate an AI agent to do research on

18:42

content or to create a thumbnail or to

18:44

create anything else that has to do with

18:46

content because I understand what good

18:48

looks like. If you asked me to create a

18:51

discounted cash flow analysis on a

18:53

company, I would not be good at

18:55

delegating to an AI agent because I

18:57

don't know what a good DCF analysis

18:59

looks like. On some of the other like

19:01

soft skills, like mental clarity and

19:04

multitasking, if you are already good at

19:06

this thing, like managing people and

19:09

doing all of these things, you're going

19:11

to be good with AI agents. If you're a

19:12

good manager of people, you're going to

19:14

become a good manager of agents. And

19:16

that's because communicating with AI

19:18

agents is going to feel like

19:19

communicating with a human very soon,

19:21

except they're going to be working 24/7

19:24

and you're going to be able to add

19:25

skills to them. You can't really do that

19:27

to a human as easily as you can do it

19:29

with an AI agent. And so, the point I'm

19:31

trying to make in trend number five is

19:33

that AI agents are kind of working its

19:36

way into all of the tools that we use,

19:38

almost like Wi-Fi. It's just in the

19:39

background. You have a team of AI agents

19:41

always working. And in this new world

19:44

where you have agents working,

19:46

foundational skills will rise to the top

19:48

and I recommend getting good at these

19:50

five things. Trend number six that you

19:53

need to understand in order to become AI

19:55

agent native, AI agents are going to

19:58

work asynchronously. Meaning you can

20:00

take anything that you type into Codex

20:03

or Claude and you can turn it into an

20:06

automation. So, if you remember earlier,

20:08

we created this hook outline skill and

20:11

then we used it on Devin. And what if I

20:14

wanted an AI to do this every morning?

20:16

And I wanted an AI to actually come up

20:18

with the best possible YouTube idea and

20:21

then it I want it to create a hook

20:22

outline. And this is just something I

20:24

can read in the morning that might give

20:26

me a good idea for what content I should

20:28

make. All I need to do is tell Codex to

20:31

do that. Hey, I want you to do research

20:34

on the best possible video that I could

20:36

make every single morning at 9:00 a.m.

20:38

and I want you to send me one of these

20:40

hook outlines. Create this automation.

20:43

And one thing you need to realize with

20:44

automations is you can kind of act in

20:46

the future. Anything that's useful now,

20:48

you should automatically think to

20:50

yourself, would this be useful on a

20:51

recurring basis or would this be useful

20:54

at a very specific time? The same way

20:56

you can tell it to do something every

20:58

morning at 9:00 a.m., you could also do

21:00

it tell you to do it four times. You

21:02

could say, "Please do it next Thursday,

21:03

next Friday, the following Thursday and

21:05

the following Friday." You can be very

21:07

specific or you can make it recurring.

21:09

And AI, because it's just like talking

21:12

to a human, will just set up the

21:14

automation for you. And you can see here

21:16

that it created this automation, daily

21:19

best video hook outline. We can go up to

21:21

the automations tab, and there it is.

21:23

Daily best video hook outline. And here

21:26

is the description of your automation.

21:28

And you can manually change it. You can

21:30

tell your AI to change it. And you can

21:32

test it by clicking run now.

21:34

>> So, the way I kind of look at this trend

21:36

is in the old world of AI, you had tools

21:39

like Zapier, where it was kind of this

21:41

niche skill to learn automations, learn

21:44

AI automations, so that you can set up a

21:46

trigger and some advanced workflow. But

21:49

this new world, we're moving to a world

21:51

where you can just communicate with AI

21:52

agents in natural language. So, anything

21:54

that you do inside Codex, you can say

21:56

just do this on a trigger. Every single

21:59

time this thing happens, just do this.

22:01

And AI agents are able to do that. And

22:04

you can set up you can set up a routine,

22:06

and whether you're in Claude, whether

22:08

you're in Codex, you can create these

22:10

automations with natural language. You

22:12

can also do this on Cursor. Cursor is

22:15

very similar to Codex, except it's more

22:18

for developers. But again, there's this

22:20

automations tab. In order to create an

22:22

automation, simply tell your agent to

22:24

set up an automation. It's that easy.

22:27

All AI agent platforms are becoming

22:30

automation platforms. The seventh trend

22:32

that you need to understand in order to

22:33

become agent native, and this is

22:35

probably the coolest and most futuristic

22:37

one. AI agents can fully control your

22:40

computer. So, I can go to a tool like

22:42

Codex. Codex has the best computer use

22:45

tool in the world. It's built directly

22:47

inside Codex. And this will allow your

22:49

agent to fully control your computer.

22:51

After this video, what I want you to do

22:53

is I want you to just try this computer

22:55

use. Tell it to do something on your

22:57

machine. AI agents are really good at

23:00

controlling your computer. Now,

23:01

sometimes they're a little bit slow, but

23:04

you'll be surprised at how fast it can

23:06

do certain tasks. I believe that within

23:10

12 months to 18 months, AI agents will

23:12

be better than humans at controlling a

23:15

computer. And computer use is really

23:17

useful when one of the plugins don't

23:19

fully work, right? You can use something

23:21

like Gmail, which uses their servers

23:24

behind the scenes, and it allows you to

23:27

access the functionality of Gmail

23:29

without controlling the interface that

23:31

is your computer. But, not every task

23:34

that you might want to do on a computer

23:36

has a perfect plugin. Maybe sometimes

23:39

your AI agent that you're using in Codex

23:41

might actually be able to just open up a

23:44

browser tab or open up a file on your

23:46

computer or look in your downloads. It's

23:49

sometimes really useful to allow your AI

23:51

agent to just fully control your

23:53

computer. It can click, it can type, it

23:55

can do all the things that you might

23:56

want to do on a computer. Another way

23:58

that it's sort of controlling your

23:59

computer also has browser use. And so,

24:02

it can either use your Chrome browser

24:05

use, it can control Chrome, or it can

24:07

control the browser that's inside Codex.

24:11

Meaning, it'll just open up the browser.

24:14

And remember, this browser right here

24:16

inside Codex is becoming just like

24:18

Chrome. It is a full browser built into

24:20

Codex. The ways in which it can use your

24:22

computer are computer use, in-app

24:25

browser use, and external browser use

24:28

like Chrome. So, it can open Chrome and

24:30

control it like it's a human. Okay, so

24:33

trend number eight that you need to

24:34

understand to become agent native comes

24:37

in two parts. The first part is that

24:39

frontier AI agents are getting way more

24:42

expensive, and it's time to token

24:45

budget. With the latest release of Fable

24:47

5, companies are realizing how expensive

24:50

AI models can truly be. For instance, I

24:53

used Fable to build a mobile app. It was

24:56

actually like a lovable clone that I

24:59

built using Fable 5. And this was 9 to

25:02

10 prompts. If you were to have done

25:04

this billing through the API, which is

25:07

how much this model will cost normally,

25:10

it would have cost it around $250 to

25:13

generate all the code. Yes, this

25:15

generated for a very, very long time,

25:17

but it was still only nine prompts. And

25:19

it's not like it went overnight. And so,

25:21

just for those nine prompts, it was

25:23

around $250.

25:25

And the second part of this trend, while

25:28

the frontier models are getting really

25:30

expensive, open-source models are

25:32

getting significantly better. And the

25:34

best open-source models are coming from

25:36

China. And then yesterday, the best

25:38

open-source model in the world was

25:40

released. It's called GLM 5.2,

25:44

and it is incredible at front-end

25:47

design. And many people are saying GLM

25:49

5.2 is just slightly worse than Opus

25:53

4.8. And this not just in design. This

25:56

is across the board. GLM 5.2, which is

26:00

significantly

26:01

cheaper than Opus 4.8, is almost as

26:05

good. And I'm going to leave you with

26:06

some practical things to do. So, I'm

26:08

just going to show you how you can use

26:10

GLM 5.2 directly inside Cursor. And so,

26:14

over the last 48 hours, I've just been

26:16

testing GLM a ton. And you can see here

26:20

in my model selector, I have this option

26:22

z-ai/glm

26:24

5.2.

26:26

Hello, what model are you?

26:29

I'm able to use Cursor and use GLM 5.2.

26:33

And you can see here it says, "I'm GLM

26:35

5.2." And so, I'm going to show you

26:37

exactly how you can set this up. Okay,

26:39

so, by the way, this is not sponsored at

26:41

all by OpenRouter. This is something

26:43

that you should definitely understand if

26:45

you want to become fully agent native,

26:47

and that is how to use APIs,

26:50

specifically OpenRouter, because it

26:52

allows you to use all of the different

26:53

APIs with a single API key. How can you

26:56

use all of the different models

26:58

effectively? If you go to open router

27:00

and you create an account, you can get

27:02

an API key to use any model. And once

27:04

you get your API key, you can go to

27:06

cursor. And the steps are relatively

27:09

easy. In cursor, if you go to settings

27:12

and you click on models and you go down

27:16

to API keys, you're going to paste your

27:18

API key right here. And you're going to

27:21

enable this and then you're going to

27:22

enable the override open AI base URL and

27:25

you're going to paste this right here,

27:27

exactly as is. Once you do that, you

27:30

need to go to view all models and then

27:32

you're going to add a custom model and

27:34

then you're going to paste this exact

27:36

string z-ai/glm-5.2

27:40

and press add. Once you do that, you

27:42

will be able to use z-ai/glm5.2

27:47

and this is the best open source model

27:50

in the entire world and I guarantee you

27:52

you are going to be surprised at how

27:54

powerful it is. And so this video is not

27:56

about glm-5.2.

27:58

This video is about the trends and the

27:59

trends are very clear. The frontier

28:02

models like fable and whatever models

28:04

open AI releases in the future, these do

28:06

not appear to be getting cheaper.

28:07

However, what does seem to be happening,

28:11

these Chinese open source models seem to

28:13

not be getting more expensive yet

28:15

they're catching up with the frontier AI

28:17

models. And so if there's one takeaway

28:19

from this trend, it would be to use a

28:21

tool like open router so that you get

28:23

access to all of the different models

28:25

and test the open source models and see

28:28

how they compare to all the workflows

28:30

where you're using gbt-5.5 high and

28:32

Claude fable. There may be a ton of

28:34

tasks that you do where you can just use

28:37

an open source model and save five times

28:39

the amount of money. And the ninth and

28:41

final trend is something that I have to

28:43

just show you. And that is real-time

28:45

voice paired with it controlling my

28:48

computer. Before this video, in about

28:50

three prompts that did take around 20

28:52

minutes to generate with Codex 5.5 on

28:55

Codex, I created Riley's Jarvis. This is

28:58

a little desktop app that I can open up

29:01

right here. Let me show you something.

29:03

So, I'm going to just go ahead and I can

29:06

turn this recording on. Hey Jarvis, what

29:09

I need you to do right now, can you open

29:10

up the Comet browser?

29:15

>> Done.

29:16

>> Can you open up a new tab? I want you to

29:18

go to LinkedIn.

29:22

>> Got it. Let me open a new tab and head

29:24

to LinkedIn.

29:26

I opened a new tab and loaded LinkedIn.

29:29

>> Very cool. Can you actually, I don't

29:31

need LinkedIn. Can you open up Cursor

29:33

for me?

29:36

>> Opened Cursor.

29:37

>> Very cool. Can you type a prompt down

29:40

there at the bottom where it says send

29:41

follow up? I want you to just ask Cursor

29:44

to make a very simple landing page. Can

29:46

you do that for me?

29:49

>> All right. I'll drop a quick prompt into

29:51

that follow-up field now.

29:54

>> Yeah. Hey, thank you for typing it. Can

29:56

you enter that in for me?

29:59

>> Sure. I'll send that now.

30:01

>> Enter.

30:01

>> Nice. Thank you. Can you actually go to

30:03

Notion?

30:06

>> Switching over to Notion.

30:08

Opened Notion.

30:09

>> Thank you. Okay, yeah. So, there I can

30:11

see the Yeah, what do you think of my

30:13

topics for the week? Um as you can see

30:15

there.

30:16

>> Let me take a closer look at what's on

30:18

the screen for that. I can see topics

30:20

like Mythos timing, Codex update rumors,

30:22

GLM 5.2 cloning Codex, and Cursor's

30:25

acquisition.

30:26

>> Nice. Nice. Nice. All I'm trying to show

30:28

you right here is that AI is getting

30:30

significantly better at allowing you to

30:33

speak to it in real-time while using

30:36

tools. And you're able to just fully

30:37

control your computer while speaking.

30:40

And another company that's working on

30:42

this is called Thinking Machines. And

30:45

they did another demo and it actually

30:47

looks better than GPT real-time 2. But

30:50

this is one of the most fun trends. You

30:53

can just speak to your computer and it

30:54

can just take actions for you. And and

30:57

it's the worst it will ever be. It'll

30:59

only continue to get better and it'll

31:00

get significantly faster and very soon

31:03

it's going to feel like Jarvis. You're

31:05

going to be able to control your

31:06

computer and this is only just

31:08

beginning. All right, guys. There you

31:09

have it. We covered a lot today. And

31:12

just a quick recap. Uh for trend number

31:14

one, we talked about how AI models are

31:16

just getting smarter. Prompt hacks are

31:18

going away and saying what you want is

31:20

in. Skills are becoming significantly

31:22

more important and you can create skills

31:24

with natural language. Just tell your

31:26

agent to create a skill and soon over

31:28

time AI agents will self-assemble these

31:30

skills. Number three, probably the most

31:33

important trend so far is that we're

31:34

seeing these general-purpose AI

31:36

platforms or agent platforms that I call

31:38

super apps and you should absolutely

31:40

learn one of these platforms, whether

31:42

it's Codex, Claude desktop, or Cursor.

31:45

These platforms are incredibly important

31:47

to learn. Number four, agents are

31:49

connecting to the tools we use, right?

31:51

Not only can you use these agent

31:53

platforms on the computer, you can also

31:55

start to use these different cloud

31:57

agents directly in the tools you already

31:59

use, whether that's iMessage or whether

32:01

that's in Slack. You can very easily set

32:04

up one of these agents at chorus.com.

32:07

Number five, foundational skills rise to

32:09

the top. I noticed the people who are

32:10

best with AI agents are just the ones

32:12

that are really good at like these soft

32:15

skills or these foundational skills,

32:16

like communication, delegation,

32:18

understanding what's good looks like or

32:20

taste, in other words, mental clarity,

32:23

multitasking. It's very important.

32:25

Obviously, AI agents are becoming more

32:26

asynchronous. All you have to do is ask

32:28

your agent to do things on a schedule

32:30

and boom, automation. Also, AI agents

32:32

can control your computer. And I showed

32:34

on Codex that is the best platform for

32:36

using computer use. I highly recommend

32:38

trying it out. It can fully control your

32:40

computer. It can even do it in the

32:41

background. Trend number eight is that

32:43

frontier AI agents are getting more

32:44

expensive. This show is showing no sign

32:46

of slowing down. Enterprises are willing

32:48

to pay basically unlimited money for the

32:50

best AI models in the world. And

32:52

unfortunately, with the amount of

32:53

compute we have, it's just not feasible

32:56

to get these for cheap. They are going

32:58

to be expensive for a while. But

33:00

luckily, the opposite end of that trend

33:02

is that local models like GLM 5.2

33:05

are getting significantly better for way

33:07

less money. And I highly recommend you

33:09

start looking into that. And then

33:10

finally, I showed you Jarvis. Real-time

33:13

voice is getting better. Real-time voice

33:15

compared with computer use is really

33:17

fun. We're in the early stages of this,

33:19

but pretty soon we're going to be

33:20

controlling our phone and our computer

33:22

with our voice. AI agents are going to

33:24

be able to take action in the

33:25

background, and they're also going to be

33:27

able to take action directly on our

33:29

computer. It's going to be like Jarvis

33:30

with like a superhuman AI assistant in

33:32

the background. It's going to be

33:33

awesome. Thank you guys so much for

33:35

watching. I hope you got a ton out of

33:36

this, and I'll see you here for the next

33:38

one.
