Final publish transcript after silence compression and privacy cuts.
[00:00] I've spent over 350 hours inside of OpenAI's Codex and I thought, what is the best way
[00:06] for me to be able to show you how I use it and how I've used it to, it's a cliche by
[00:11] now but 10x my productivity might even be an understatement, 100x, I don't know.
[00:16] To put this into perspective and to give you a bit of context as to how I've just been
[00:21] able to use Codex so much, it came out in February and it is basically OpenAI rival
[00:26] to Claude, the Claude desktop app, the one that is orange and it has a little anthropic
[00:32] logo there.
[00:33] So coming back to Codex and why I've become fully Codex peeled as they say is because
[00:38] over 20 days ago, to the day actually, OpenAI actually increased my rate limits by 10x.
[00:46] So I normally pay $200 a month, so it's like, yeah, $200 a month to get the ChatGPT Pro
[00:53] plan, and then they 10x that.
[00:57] Now by my calculation, this was ordinarily subsidized by 10x.
[01:02] So what does this all mean?
[01:03] If I'm paying $200 in token usage, which we can see over here highlighted, that would
[01:09] be about the equivalent of $2,000 and it might even be closer to $3,000.
[01:14] But the point there is that they're already 10 to 15xing it and then they tend to exit
[01:21] again.
[01:21] They did that because I went to apply to go to the ChatGPT 5.4.5 party and wasn't accepted.
[01:28] So then as a token pun intended of their appreciation, they said that basically here's 10x on us.
[01:35] What I'm trying to say is that 10x, look, I estimate that it's somewhere in the realm
[01:39] of like 30 to $60,000 or free usage.
[01:44] And that is because as you can see here, based on my last 30 days of usage, I've spent the
[01:50] equivalent of $42,000.
[01:53] Now I don't know how reliable this is because about five days ago it said it was like $65,000.
[01:58] It was something to do with, I digress.
[02:01] Anyway, what I want to show you is how I've been able to firstly land a $2,000 per month
[02:09] AI consulting client, how I've been able to run and build a software as a service, which
[02:14] is making 15, I'll check the stats now, $1,336 and we've got 1,239 users.
[02:27] So that as well as my community full circle, which a Skool community, which is making
[02:35] $2,911 MRR.
[02:38] So that's where I'm at.
[02:40] And what I've been able to do is basically make Codex my work bench.
[02:45] It's where I now do, I'd say 90% of my work, the other 10%, maybe that's a bit too much,
[02:51] 80% of my work, the other 20% is just done doing the manual reps here in Skool inside
[02:57] of full circle.
[02:58] And if you're watching this inside of Codex Club, then Codex Club.
[03:02] This was created yesterday as of the day of recording because I went to search for a Codex
[03:07] community in Skool and one didn't exist.
[03:09] So the rest is history.
[03:11] Anyway, going into what I've done over here.
[03:14] Then another thing which was really cool was threads to X.
[03:18] So I've posted about in the realm of 4,000 to 5, 4,500 to 5,000 times on threads.
[03:25] It's like Meta's version of X.
[03:28] And I wanted to start posting on X.
[03:31] So what I got codex to do is pursued goal.
[03:37] Oh, shit, it's still going.
[03:39] Shit.
[03:40] So I've set a goal for it to go and filter through all, call it 5,000 posts and like
[03:48] filter through them so that it filters out all of the ones that aren't relevant to either
[03:53] X or because of like timeliness or whatever.
[03:57] So say if I wrote about a world event that happened on that day, it's not going to go
[04:01] and then reschedule all of those posts on X because they're not relevant.
[04:04] Also, I write about growing on threads on threads and it has to filter out for a lot
[04:08] of that too.
[04:09] So I asked it to do that and then go and schedule all of them to post 10 times a day on X.
[04:14] And it's been working at that for the last 8 hours and 56 minutes.
[04:20] This is something that I was not really able to do because the $200 per month plan wouldn't
[04:26] enable me to do it.
[04:26] But with the 10X boost, I can.
[04:29] That's one other use case.
[04:30] I've got many more.
[04:32] So this is one I haven't actually looked at yet.
[04:34] And it is find repeated workflows.
[04:36] I saw this prompt on X.
[04:39] Look back over my recent work from the last 30 days or all available history, if shorter
[04:43] and identify repeated manual workflows worth packaging, then it's going to look out.
[04:49] So Codex can, it's pretty fucking crazy.
[04:52] Codex can take screenshots and this is where the privacy concerns obviously come in as
[04:56] well.
[04:56] I, to be honest, just couldn't give a fuck.
[04:59] I've accepted that more data means more utility for me.
[05:02] That's not going to be for everyone.
[05:04] But that being said, it takes screenshots of your screen and then stores that as memory.
[05:10] So for example, I could, what do I have over here?
[05:13] Okay.
[05:14] This is my software.
[05:15] Right.
[05:16] The irony is I got fucking rate limited by my own software.
[05:19] No words.
[05:20] The mascot is a little cheeky fucker and loves to say LFG a lot.
[05:23] I didn't do that.
[05:24] But let's say I wanted to ask Codex.
[05:28] That was okay.
[05:29] Here's another thing.
[05:30] And this is how it works with Codex.
[05:31] Things just pop up to you in your mind and then you just go and execute them.
[05:35] Find DNA consciousness link.
[05:37] Like I just had this random idea, are humans conscious because of their unique DNA traits?
[05:42] Biology is not my thing.
[05:43] I've just had this random idea about consciousness and then I asked it, how is your brain and
[05:47] my brain different in simple terms?
[05:48] Then it came up with this banger.
[05:50] Your brain is a living city with weather, traffic, history, and people inside it.
[05:54] Mine is more like a very advanced map making system that can describe cities, but does
[05:58] not live in one.
[06:00] What?
[06:01] That was such a vivid and like clear description.
[06:03] Anyway, I've got this little pop up window and with any luck, what am I looking at right
[06:10] now?
[06:11] The intention behind this is that it's going to use Chronicle, that thing that I showed
[06:16] you in the screenshot as the screenshot of what I'm looking at.
[06:19] And it will know that like a point, the thing that I'm trying to say is that you can just,
[06:24] you don't have to give it a screenshot, but if you want to give it a screenshot, then
[06:27] it's even cooler.
[06:29] I'm going to turn this off extra high and I'll also make it go on fast mode.
[06:35] So this means it's going to work 1.5 times faster, but it will use your limits two times
[06:40] faster.
[06:41] So it's using the computer skill.
[06:42] It's looking at Chronicle, screen recording, latest, Chronicle is live and the latest frames
[06:47] are fresh to the current minutes.
[06:48] So I'm checking both displays and then I'll give you the plain English read listing Mac
[06:53] apps.
[06:54] It's looking at ChatGPT Atlas, which is another browser.
[06:57] It saw that I'm using Google Chrome.
[07:00] It looked at screen studio and you might be thinking, well, what is the actual purpose
[07:05] of this beyond being able to tell you what you're already looking at?
[07:10] That's fucking stupid.
[07:11] So here's another use case.
[07:14] Tell me about basically all my work over the last 30 days and what my blind spots are.
[07:21] I'm going to let this answer load and then come back over to another use case, which
[07:27] It's essentially going to like this prompt is basically saying, look at what I have done
[07:28] with Chronicle and look at just the memory that it has on me and then tell me what we
[07:34] can turn into a repeatable workflow so that I don't have to manually do it again.
[07:39] And here it created a plan to do just that.
[07:43] And it has identified that these other things that it can turn into a workflow.
[07:49] So for example, and this just speaks to the breadth of things that you can do in Codex.
[07:53] For example, I've got an answer.
[07:56] All right, cool.
[07:57] Switching back, multitasking is something that will make you unbelievably productive
[08:02] in Codex, but it will also, you're going to like reach your limit in terms of mental
[08:08] capacity faster.
[08:09] So if you start to feel that it's normal, because you are, it's like you're computing
[08:15] a lot of shit at the same time.
[08:17] And you're going to see how this goes as we continue this video.
[08:19] But you're looking at two displays, left one display telegram in the log chat.
[08:24] So it's looking, it saw that my telegram chat is in the screen that is behind the camera.
[08:30] And then it looked at Codex Skool and Codex club link, which is my Skool over here.
[08:36] And then it saw that I got rate limited by my own software.
[08:40] And then it saw Codex is over here on the right.
[08:42] So that's cool.
[08:43] Now, as I put in the prompt a few moments ago, tell me about basically all my work over
[08:48] the last 30 days and what my blind spots are.
[08:51] Now it's already on low thinking mode.
[08:53] But in theory, the higher the reasoning or the intelligence, the longer it's going to
[09:00] take to think through your question.
[09:02] And more longer is not always better.
[09:05] Sometimes you just want to know like, what time is it in California right now, or whatever.
[09:10] And it doesn't need to think deeply about that.
[09:13] But for this task, because I want it to look through all of my last 30 days, I'm going
[09:17] to put on extra high.
[09:18] And then I'll just let that do its thing.
[09:20] Coming back over here into the workflows.
[09:23] So do I release train continuation joy is the second brain software that I am building
[09:31] out on the side.
[09:33] And my computer is going to be good to me.
[09:35] I actually haven't opened it since this was built.
[09:38] So that's fun.
[09:39] I have no idea what that's doing there.
[09:41] Well, okay, I think my computer is struggling a bit.
[09:44] There's a lot of shit going on.
[09:46] Oh, I know what this is.
[09:49] I've had this goal running.
[09:51] I'll come back to this later.
[09:54] Let there be light, all right, shit.
[09:57] Whoa.
[09:58] Okay.
[09:59] Oh, I feel so called out.
[10:01] But I'm going to come back to that in a second because that was exposing in so many scarily
[10:05] accurate ways.
[10:07] Fuck.
[10:08] Do as I say, not as I do anyway.
[10:11] So do I is the second brain software.
[10:15] Then this is to do with just figuring out failures in the software that I'm building
[10:20] as we just saw the user interface.
[10:22] There was too much overlap.
[10:23] And that wasn't meant to be that way.
[10:25] Then try to fight social scheduling access proof.
[10:28] So what is this one saying?
[10:31] There's high repetition of stable gates.
[10:33] And it will essentially allows me to use threadifies API from directly within Codex and schedule
[10:39] shit from using my like software through Codex.
[10:44] LennyClaw revenue gate watchdog I currently because I had so much was given so much compute,
[10:49] I currently have a bunch of Codex threads on my Mac mini to the left of me that have
[10:56] been running literally continuously every day since the seventh of May.
[11:01] And it's past like 400 hours of just working towards a goal of reaching or making $10,000
[11:08] by June 5th, 2026.
[11:11] And it's been pretty mind blowing because he's made guess how much zero dollars.
[11:16] Anyway, I've got a lot to share about that.
[11:17] So if you're watching this on YouTube, get subscribed if you are not already coming back
[11:23] to this.
[11:23] That is LennyClaw, then Skool full circle class replay upload.
[11:27] This is actually already a repeatable automation.
[11:30] So I do a weekly live call inside of one of my schools video file into sort of automation
[11:35] where it's going to go and download that drive file, then go and upload it into Skool with
[11:43] a summary of the transcript, yeah, then timestamps in a Skool classroom page.
[11:49] And that's already actually automated.
[11:52] As you can see here, I've got 17 automations, then second brain run logging.
[11:58] So this is one markdown file, which is a format of document that at the end of every answer
[12:06] that Codex writes, that is then logged into the second brain daily file.
[12:11] And that is where whenever I do shit that is digital, I get and log that to my second
[12:18] brain.
[12:19] And that's what most of the 17 automations are for.
[12:22] So that one file is a digital timestamp of everything I've done.
[12:28] And pair that with something like Chronicle, which is this, the results are scarily good.
[12:35] It's pretty crazy.
[12:37] All right, so I'm not going to go through this whole thing because it's going to be
[12:41] exposing as fuck, but let's have a look.
[12:43] Full circle and Codex Club, where the community offer lanes have been doing lots of stuff
[12:47] on offers.
[12:49] Content pipeline work was heavy.
[12:52] I get Codex to handle all of the boring admin shit that I don't want to do for my YouTube
[12:58] videos, like going to upload them into YouTube, like outlining the script for a YouTube video.
[13:04] What else?
[13:05] Creating the thumbnails, uploading the audio of the YouTube video as a podcast, turning
[13:10] the transcript of the YouTube video into a newsletter, drafting a Skool post for me
[13:15] with the attachments to the like PDF guide, A-B testing the thumbnails for me directly
[13:21] within YouTube Studio, all of that stuff, even like getting it to use a computer and
[13:27] to go and select that each YouTube short that I upload, the related video for it is the
[13:32] YouTube long that it was clipped from.
[13:34] So, then coming back to some blind spots, you have too many almost alive states.
[13:40] So I've got a lot of different things going at any given time.
[13:43] All psychologically groups progress, operationally they are separate.
[13:47] And I'll be like, glance over, skim over how like, I've literally just had this massive
[13:54] epiphany that like makes them not separate.
[13:57] And I'll maybe speak to that in a moment, but your agents are becoming a product surface
[14:02] that is powerful, but it means full reliability, all thrift, stale state and false green validators
[14:07] are now business risk, not nerd clutter, fair.
[14:10] External proof bottlenecks, pet iPhone verification, account truth, yep, fair.
[14:16] Your strongest habit is source truth discipline, your weakest version of that habit is treating
[14:20] we logged it as we proved it, oh, that stings, these were blind, what was that for?
[14:26] Oh yeah, I should not be rate limited by my own fucking sass now, hey, hopefully.
[14:33] Okay, auto plug is on.
[14:36] With any luck, I will not get rate limited, right?
[14:40] Fuck yeah.
[14:43] Cool, so that's a little pop up window.
[14:46] Then I'll show you another really cool thing that you can do instead of screenshots at
[14:50] another point, maybe even now, but yeah, it's going to turn the second brain logging and
[14:55] then execution plan.
[14:57] So it's going to mine recent Codex sessions.
[14:59] It's going to research my recent second brain daily logs.
[15:02] That's where it comes into play.
[15:05] Produce the compact shortlist, turn skills, turn them into skills.
[15:10] Then what I can do is just do a forward slash and then type in, so I've got a post production
[15:16] pipeline.
[15:17] And then you can see that here and I can click that and it will go and do all of the stuff
[15:21] that I told it that I mentioned earlier, turning into a newsletter, creating a like PDF guide
[15:27] companion, uploading as a podcast, scheduling all the shorts, uploading the actual YouTube
[15:31] video, AB testing, ABC testing, all of it, regenerating the thumbnails if it needs to.
[15:37] All of that is done by me just selecting that and clicking one button.
[15:41] And then I can go walk away and do some other shit.
[15:43] Pretty crazy.
[15:44] Some other stuff.
[15:45] So my point being there is that what it's going to do is now turn all of those things
[15:49] that I just mentioned and package them as things that I can then invoke with a forward
[15:54] slash command and just type the word.
[15:56] So here, all I'm going to do is just say, implement plan.
[16:00] And then it will go and do that.
[16:01] What else was going to be cool to show?
[16:05] So this is cool.
[16:06] And let's say another side quest.
[16:10] We've got some suggestions here and these suggestions are honestly what make Codex again
[16:16] even more powerful and scarily so.
[16:20] Point being turned yesterday is 3,733 invites into a real start here, challenge flow.
[16:25] It knows that I got Codex, this is pretty meta, to go and, where are we?
[16:33] It knows that I got Codex to go through to kit, which is a newsletter email sender, download
[16:39] my entire like email newsletter list, like over CSVs, I think it's three, how many people
[16:45] were there?
[16:47] Yeah, here we go.
[16:47] 3,733.
[16:49] And then it uploaded that file into Skool.
[16:53] We're ranking in discovery now.
[16:55] That's fun.
[16:57] And then use this button to import the CSV file and send them everyone invites to join.
[17:04] And that happened all autonomously.
[17:07] It did it in nine minutes.
[17:09] Would have taken me longer, actually.
[17:11] And then the point I was trying to make was it just went and did that and it knows it
[17:15] did that.
[17:16] So then it surfaces a suggestion to me.
[17:18] Turn yesterday's 3,733 invites into a real start here, challenge flow, meaning it knows
[17:25] that I just created Codex Club yesterday.
[17:27] It's saying you both invited that many people yesterday.
[17:30] I can turn the current drafts, which are the sort of files that are within this black,
[17:34] like think of a folder and there are files within that folder on my computer.
[17:39] I can turn the current drafts into a pinned welcome post, start here page and week one
[17:43] challenge so members land on action instead of an empty room.
[17:46] All right, fuck yeah.
[17:48] I'm going to hit shift tab and then let it do that.
[17:51] What was I saying?
[17:52] So it surfaces suggestions to you.
[17:53] It also knows that I want to do this thing inside of Codex called Skill Drops.
[17:58] Package your first skill drop from the Codex Guide you already use.
[18:02] Oh, water.
[18:04] Codex Club's free loop depends on a weekly skill drop, but the repo still only has a
[18:09] template.
[18:09] I can mine your existing Codex Guide source into a lightweight first, damn, first drop
[18:15] with a repo concept, read me draft, Skool post and challenge CTA.
[18:21] Yesterday I went and set up files on my computer and it created these logos as well as a knowledge
[18:30] base of really just like what the strategy behind Codex Club is in terms of can it become
[18:37] something that's monetized later?
[18:39] Because right now it's just completely free and a launch kit skill drops.
[18:42] It created the sort of file for that and agents.md, which is what Codex reads and it is instructions
[18:49] for how Codex should act when it's working within these files and what Codex can do is
[18:55] actually create files directly within this folder and it can edit these ones as well
[19:01] and use them as like glue, connective tissue almost to form a brain of what Codex Club
[19:06] is and what it's saying is because it's aware of all of those documents, the skill drop
[19:13] folder here and then a file of what a skill drop is, what it can do is package your first
[19:20] skill drop from the Codex guide you already use.
[19:24] It also knows that I have a 108 minute YouTube video, which is a Codex Masterclass.
[19:28] Pretty crazy.
[19:30] So what it's saying here, because it's got that knowledge of me, it's saying like, do
[19:34] you want me to look at the transcript of your YouTube video?
[19:36] That's 108 minutes long.
[19:38] It has a bunch of different skills that are referred to and then turn the best ones of
[19:42] those into a skill drop because you told me yesterday that you want to do these things
[19:46] called skill drops inside of Codex Club.
[19:48] So I'm just going to click on that, hit plan mode and then hit enter and now over here,
[19:55] create onboarding pack.
[19:56] Here it's got a plan, Codex Club member onboarding pack, create three Skool ready markdown assets
[20:02] under the existing Codex Club launch week, launch kit and week one challenge drafts.
[20:06] Cool.
[20:07] Well, what it's going to do is create a start here post.
[20:11] I've already got one, but we'll see what it comes up with.
[20:14] It's also going to create a start here space inside of the classroom.
[20:17] And it's going to create a challenge for the first week inside of Codex Club.
[20:24] Now, here you can see the pack should be ready to paste into Skool, not publish live.
[20:28] It's made that assumption.
[20:30] If I wanted to, I could tell it to go and publish it for me live, but I actually want
[20:33] to see what its outputs are.
[20:35] And I'm just making you aware of that because that it can use a cursor to go and control
[20:40] the screen and the shit on the screen.
[20:42] And I'll show you that in a moment too, because that's probably one of the most enjoyable
[20:46] parts of using this app.
[20:48] I'm going to hit approve on that, let it go.
[20:50] And then coming back over here, it is looking at what those files on my computer were about.
[20:59] So it's getting an understanding of those files so that it can then use this and create
[21:03] the best sort of skill drop possible.
[21:03] Chronicle called me out by saying I've got too many different things going at once.
[21:05] And then I had an idea of the connective glue that kind of brings everything together.
[21:10] And that's what this has in there.
[21:12] It's still not tested and I don't, I'm not going to share it yet, but it's a really pretty
[21:17] cool way to put everything that I've shown you about the work that I do together into
[21:22] a nice little bow where everything sort of just clicks and makes sense.
[21:26] And it was a really satisfying idea that I had on a walk at lunch in the park in sunny,
[21:31] old Western Australia, Perth.
[21:34] All right, what's it doing now?
[21:36] It is creating, I was looking at the PDF guide from that Codex video that I created.
[21:42] Cool.
[21:42] Then we've got Full Circle.
[21:44] So Full Circle is my community.
[21:46] And what I've got it doing here is, it's pretty crazy.
[21:50] So I know I've said that so much, but it's true.
[21:52] All right.
[21:54] Over the last 34 months, I've posted on threads, like, I wish it told you how many times.
[22:01] All right.
[22:01] I said that I wasn't going to talk much about that idea, but I literally just made my link
[22:05] in bio about it.
[22:06] So I may as well tell you.
[22:07] The way that it kind of all fits together is this.
[22:10] For creators, that's my Skool community Full Circle.
[22:12] For builders, that's my Codex, that's my Skool community for builders called Codex
[22:17] Club.
[22:18] And then for creator builders, that is for Threadify.
[22:21] And that's how I see it fitting altogether.
[22:22] Anyway, I've posted on threads a lot and I've just by virtue of Threadify having, let's
[22:30] have a look, a vault and it has 1,431 posts that all got a thousand likes.
[22:39] And you can just use this for free at the time of this recording.
[22:43] That might be changing soon.
[22:44] So I get in quick, get in, you can use it for free as your infinite source of inspiration.
[22:48] And you know that all of this stuff is pretty good because every single post got over a
[22:52] thousand likes.
[22:53] Anyway, I digress.
[22:55] So it's got all of these posts from the vault and it's turning this into the ultimate hooks
[23:03] playbook containing the first line of all of these viral hooks because I'm going to
[23:08] incorporate that in the new classroom inside of Full Circle, which was for people who want
[23:12] to get their first client from Threads, period.
[23:15] And the system we're going to be using is this is going to be part of the workbook for
[23:19] the new like program inside of Full Circle.
[23:23] And it's going to have these ready-made hooks that you can just copy and paste and know
[23:26] that these are at least validated because as I said here, why does that even matter?
[23:33] Not that one.
[23:35] Oh, here we go.
[23:37] Hooks are 90% of your content.
[23:39] That means everyone else, everything else that's downstream from your content, which
[23:43] for many people is their livelihood and business depends on the first five words you write
[23:46] in a post.
[23:46] Read that again.
[23:47] That's why hooks matter.
[23:49] And that's what it's creating here for me.
[23:50] And it will go and create that full PDF or whatever format it decides.
[23:55] Just I don't know, autonomously, I won't have to really lift a finger.
[23:59] And that's the stuff that I don't want to do.
[24:01] I don't want to spend hours on end creating a PDF guide where the value of the guide is
[24:07] not my argument, is not in the fact that like I spent 50 hours creating it, but it's how
[24:13] useful it is to the person who's reading it and using it.
[24:15] It's the utility to the end user, not the person who's putting in all those man hours.
[24:20] And this is the biggest shift in AI that like not enough people are realizing that yes,
[24:26] in certain, like I'm talking from a business sense, right?
[24:29] There is utility in the process when it comes to art in the traditional sense.
[24:36] I'm not Rick Rubin.
[24:37] I don't think that I'm making art.
[24:39] I just want to deliver the most value in the best format possible, I digress.
[24:44] So it's going to create two PDFs for me.
[24:47] Then I was mapping out what my, what the new offer inside a full circle will be.
[24:52] I put it on plan mode.
[24:53] I asked it to just ask me a shitload of questions about what I want this new offer to be.
[24:58] And I asked it to look at the other cool thing about Codex is I asked it to look at my,
[25:05] these are plugins, things that just make your Codex more powerful.
[25:10] Can I set that up now?
[25:11] No, I think I have to go sign in.
[25:12] All right, so I've connected my Gmail, Slack, Linear, Google Chrome, Notion, Google Calendar,
[25:20] Hyperframes and Remotion.
[25:22] And these ones allow you to create motion graphics directly from within Codex.
[25:25] And then Readwise is the one that I wanted to point out.
[25:28] Every single piece of content that I have consumed over the last five years has highlights from it.
[25:34] All of those highlights are stored by Readwise.
[25:37] I can ask, and I've read all the these.
[25:41] So I can ask Codex to look at my highlights from $100 million offers, leads and money models,
[25:47] and then help me frame basically a new offer based on the teachings of all of those books.
[25:53] And it can look at all of my highlights from those books because of the connection with Readwise.
[25:57] And that's what helped me build out.
[25:59] Then it's going to help me what's already done this create all of the new sort of resources for the classroom.
[26:05] This is stuff like, I shit you not, from beginning of 2022 to the middle of 2023,
[26:11] I spent 18 months writing a like 600 page English textbook, then turning all of those into PowerPoint presentations,
[26:20] and then turning all of those 65 lessons into YouTube videos that were like 30 to 60 of working six days a week, like 10 hours a day.
[26:28] I like the craziest thing is that that could now be done, literally blows my mind.
[26:34] I could just set it on goal mode.
[26:35] Well, I need to do it forward slash goal, hit enter, and say to go and do all of that for me.
[26:41] And in theory, it could go and do everything for me except actually filming.
[26:47] Like, yeah, it can create an AI avatar of me, I guess.
[26:49] But like, I'd still want to keep the filming part me.
[26:52] And it can just go and do all of that.
[26:54] And the goal mode makes it such that it will continue working until it reaches that end point of having all of those things created.
[27:02] Hopefully, this is opening your mind to what is possible.
[27:05] And then plan Threadify content.
[27:10] I am testing a new sort of thing that we're going to be rolling out in Threadify, which is the software that I spoke about earlier.
[27:18] And I went and got it to look at my again, like I just couldn't have done this before without Codex.
[27:25] And it just did all of it for me in it wasn't 30 minutes, it was more like this was ongoing process.
[27:30] But all I had to do was just like, speak and yap to it like I'm yapping at you now.
[27:36] Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I asked it to go pull this like top 600 of my threads post out of the 4500 or whatever.
[27:45] Take, yeah, and take the top 600.
[27:49] And then what I want you to do is create an automation to then send me in a new chat each morning at 8am.
[27:56] 10 of those posts from the top 600.
[27:58] And then interview me on up like what you want me to change about those posts.
[28:04] Like, is anything need to be updated? Does anything need to be changed?
[28:08] Is something no longer relevant? Do you want to make the CTA better?
[28:11] Then I'll just speak to it like I showed you with whisper flow earlier.
[28:15] And then what it did was like, okay, done.
[28:17] I just went and applied all of your feedback and then schedule them through Threadify.
[28:22] And here's the times that the 10 posts will be published.
[28:25] Here are the ones with CTAs.
[28:27] Here are the ones with images.
[28:29] And these are the times that they're being posted at.
[28:31] Now, that would have taken me like if I have to write those 10 posts from scratch,
[28:35] it would have taken me and then created the images for them.
[28:38] It would have taken me between three to five hours without AI.
[28:42] All it took for me was like two big prompts.
[28:44] And it just did all the work.
[28:45] Then here, I'm asking it to create cover, like thumbnail covers of me.
[28:51] And this is because I'm cross posting my YouTube shorts to Instagram and TikTok.
[28:57] And I asked it to create a thumbnail.
[29:00] That is an AI photo of me.
[29:02] In all honesty, it's even got the curve of my nose there.
[29:04] In all honesty, I like, all right, I'd say it's 98% there, 99% there.
[29:09] It's pretty crazy.
[29:11] Again, there's that word because it's just like,
[29:13] I'm only able to do so much right now because Codex is doing so much for me.
[29:18] Here was another one.
[29:19] Like, if this doesn't sell you on Codex, I don't know what will.
[29:25] I have 451 YouTube videos.
[29:27] A lot of them are shorts.
[29:29] Date the bios of every single one of them.
[29:33] And because it's got old links, they've got old links in them.
[29:36] And I've got the Codex Club link now and the Full Circle link and Threadify link.
[29:39] And what I asked it to do was go and update the link in bios
[29:43] to every single YouTube video that I've ever uploaded.
[29:46] And it just went and did that for me.
[29:48] What time?
[29:49] It finished at 11.26pm on Sunday evening.
[29:52] And like before I went to bed, I got it to just do that for me.
[29:55] What else can I show you?
[29:57] Post-production.
[29:58] Earthberries.
[30:00] Yeah, Duo.
[30:01] This goal has been working for 64 hours or 65 hours almost.
[30:07] And it is essentially building out what you saw that was like overlapping
[30:11] in that app that I showed you earlier.
[30:13] And I had to close it because there was an overlap with elements.
[30:16] It's building out and refining what I was showing you.
[30:21] And it's been, it's obviously a big project.
[30:23] And it's just been turning all of my different documents into,
[30:28] it's like embedded second brain within Duo.
[30:31] So it's like combining all of my second brain notes and logs with the AI
[30:35] so that it becomes my AI second brain.
[30:36] What else?
[30:39] Then I had this idea for Duo as a memory plugin.
[30:42] I won't speak too much about that, but there you go.
[30:45] And then I'm also building out live transcription from within Duo as well,
[30:50] which I'll show you in a moment because I think that'll be pretty cool to look at.
[30:54] Hopefully this will work.
[30:56] If not, fuck it.
[30:58] So this is an app that I built through Codex.
[31:00] I have no coding experience.
[31:02] I did not study software at university.
[31:03] I went to law Skool.
[31:06] I don't know how to do this stuff.
[31:10] Codex does.
[31:11] So I just ask it what I want from it and it will just do it for me.
[31:13] For example, hopefully it works.
[31:16] Oh, that's so sad.
[31:18] All right.
[31:18] What it would be doing is it would have live transcription
[31:21] and you would see the transcript of me speaking right now directly beneath the waveform.
[31:27] But because I can't share my screen with you
[31:28] and use the microphone from my phone at the same time,
[31:32] I can't actually fucking demonstrate it, which is really annoying.
[31:35] You're just going to have to take my word for it.
[31:36] That's what it does.
[31:38] But then there's like a little chat interface as well.
[31:41] And this was definitely ripped off from OpenAI's Codex app.
[31:46] But yeah, like I, again, I can't, I've just asked it to create this stuff for me.
[31:51] And then I just iterate on it and ask it what to do.
[31:54] You tell it the job you want done.
[31:56] And then you look at the feedback.
[31:58] You look at what it's created and give it feedback and just yap.
[32:01] Like yapping is a massive superpower at the moment.
[32:03] So I know this has been a rant,
[32:04] but I don't think there's any other way to show you what Codex is actually
[32:08] capable of without just showing you exactly how I would be using it.
[32:11] And this is not going to be for everyone,
[32:13] but I will say that I've been able to do a hell of a lot and I've never had
[32:16] more fun working in my life.
[32:18] So that is Codex.
[32:19] If you're watching this channel for the first time and haven't subscribed yet,
[32:22] you know what to do.
[32:23] And I'll see you next time.
