5 AI Tools I’d Use to Make $1M (w/o employees, capital, or time)

0:00 This podcast is called My First Million. So if someone is trying to get from zero to a million dollars These are the tools that I'm using. To make a million bucks. I feel like I can rule the world, I know I can be what I want to So today what I want to talk about is I wanna show five or six different apps that I'm using, Sam, that I think you should be using.

0:23 And we can we can just go through it that are underrated hidden gems that you probably never heard of that will make you more productive and make you more money. And the reason why this is fun is because a lot of people in the audience are like me, which is they're like I'm a really good Googler. That's like that's like my that's the extent of how good I am on computers. I'm pretty good at chat GPT, but you are like three steps above me in terms of uh being technical. And then there's like people that are like ten steps above that, but you're kind of a good balance of someone who's like on the outer edge being an early adopter, but also you can r relate this to kind of like a Neanderthal like me. I appreciate that. Yeah. I'm just gonna try to clearly explain as much as possible. And I tried

1:06 I try to pick examples of apps that literally anyone could use that is gonna make like a a big difference in their lives. By the way, I know people are gonna listen to this. Some people are gonna be like 'Cause there's a lot of AI haters out there, Sam. Why? Why?'Cause they they see stuff like this.

1:23 Which I will show you. You know, a AI generated Taylor Swift and they're like You are ruining the world. Mm-hmm. Oh okay. Um But

1:33 You know. This is the w this is where technology is going and this episode is for people who Wanna use it to their advantage and so that's what we're here for. Hi, Greg. Fire me up. What do we got? How am I gonna look like T Swift?

1:47 Alright, you wanna start with that? Friends listen, what you're seeing right now is crazy. We are crossing a line in human history where The boundary between reality and fiction is vanishing. This is not Hollywood billion dollar high production studio. This is open source. This is from your computer, a click of a button, and most people will not be able to even tell the difference now. So be safe out there, question what you see, verify what you believe. I follow ahead of the curve. Yeah.

2:17 Sounds just like Taylor and it looks pretty much just like Taylor. And I think the coolest thing about it Is look at our mouth movement. Looks exactly. Like this guy on the top, my friend Cyrio. Um and you can do this not with just Taylor Swift. You can do this with like a Mark Zuckerberg, you can do this with Jensen Wong, like anyone you want. You can kinda like

2:36 Deep fake. Uh Dude, but this it looks like a she looks like Taylor Switch, I think is a pretty woman. This is a very uh she's got a stronger jawline than normal, uh in this one. So it doesn't look exactly like her. You know what's interesting, so I think that you should do like a use case for each of these. Do you want to hear a crazy use case I I learned for one of these? I had someone I knew who uh they're a wealthy person and someone discovered that they were out of town and uh a person pr used one of these deepfakes to call the building.

3:05 To say that a handyman will be coming, please let them up into their apartment. And it was a uh criminal and they like robbed their apartment. And so uh these deep fakes are very nerve wracking for these reasons. Yeah, and and that's there is a dark side to it, for sure. Um And

3:22 Bad stuff is going to happen. Uh And we need to be aware of it. I'm especially concerned about like yeah, like grandmas and parents getting like scammed. Um but

3:33 Dude, I've almost been scammed. Like I get almost scammed weekly. So it's not just grandma's. What's the uh what's the service, what's the app that makes these these videos? So this is using a uh open source model called one two point two. It's by the Uh Ali Baba. People. Um so it is a Chinese app.

3:53 Yeah. So you know, beware. You know, for a lot of people using open source technology is kinda Difficult. So there are apps like enhancer dot AI. That allows you just to use their SaaS platform.

4:05 So you can just pick it and you don't need to like Look at a GitHub. Or there's another one called Free Pick. Which does the same thing. So Um, you know, I think it's worth people playing around with one two point two. This is the anime so basically you record a video of yourself talking.

4:21 And you can basically pick a character. That You know, yeah, you're right. It doesn't look like Taylor Swift exactly. It's more like a Tyler Swift. Yeah. You know So if you wanted Tyler Swift. A swift or uh

4:35 You know. Matt Zuckerberg. Uh, you know, it's fun to play around with it and use it as content for your, you know, your brand or Uh just per or just having fun, like You know, your personal brand as well. That's cool. When do you think this is gonna be good enough for me to use like in ads or things like that? I mean it's it's it's one hundred percent good enough to use an ad. Now I wouldn't use

4:58 Yeah. Tyler Swift in it. not get approved by Uh meta. But you know, people are using JFK. you know, JFK and Plato and

5:10 Uh you know Things that are in the public domain that you could use a you know, create ads for and it's working. So I can go to enhancer.ai, which I'm here, and I can film like I could film like a funny script of what I think J F K would say to promote M F M or something like that. And I can actually use that in an ad because J F K is considered public domain. Exactly. I mean I'm not a lawyer, but from my understanding, yes. I there's this guy by the name of PJ Ace.

5:40 Um, I just had him on my podcast. He's amazing. He's like the number one AI video ad guy, and he's literally getting hundreds of millions of views on his AI videos. And he's I've seen him like he'll work with like you know, the largest companies on the planet. And so he's using look at this, like he's using Sam Alman here. So wow, is there a way that Um

6:02 What would be the best way this like I'm looking at this PJ A s guy and I'm like, This sounds awesome. I wanna uh uh use this immediately. What would be the best way for me to do that? So first you need to write a script. And if I were to if you know What I would do is I would Uh use chat G BT, use Cloud to come up with a s a script idea.

6:23 And we won't have time to go through a tutorial of that today, but then I would create reference frames. So I would use uh one of the image models. Like enhancer or like free pick. Which we maybe we can go into later.

6:38 To create images of what the storyboard of the twenty second or thirty second ad might look like. Oh my gosh. And then I would animate those frames to create a cohesive story. Um, that's basically the process. You use chat GPT cl uh cloud. Uh you use enhancer and free pick.

6:57 Um and then you use um You know, you might wanna if if you're pro, you might wanna use like a prim you know, Final Cut Pro or something like that. To get Yeah. Okay. This is awesome. What's the next one? Have you played with Perplexity Browser at all?

7:11 No, I actually use perplexity the other day because I watched one of your videos on how to use Sora and I saw that you say um that perplexity is good for researching. And uh I forget what you exactly what you said in the video, but I use it to research I think how to make a viral video or something like that. And then I like put that into Clode and then I got the script from Claude and then I put it in Sora, is that right? Yeah. So It's a r hassle to move browsers. Like everyone has everything set up on their current browser. Maybe they're using Google Chrome. Um

7:43 But Having an AI first browser is an absolute game changer. There's perplexity comet, there's Dia. There's opera. There's a few others. But for today's example, we're gonna use comet,'cause that's which one I think is the best. And I just wanna go through a few workflows to so by the end of this demo, I think that Everyone is gonna be like, Yeah, I need an AI browser. So do you use let me let me clarify, do you use perplexity comment

8:10 A instead of Chrome? Yes. Okay. So this is not a cool thing. This is I R O I this works. Okay. Oh, and I can't go back, like You know, going back would Like my eyes would bleed, you know, I it is too slow to go back. Once you get used to an AI browser, you will not go back. Just like now you use Chat GPT over Google probably ninety five percent of the time. Yeah.

8:35 So Um I saw this ad For this. Company called One Bone. Um

8:42 Which is a clothing brand for big and tall people. Uh I'm actually not big. Um I'm pretty tall, I'm like six foot three. Uh So I'm I I'm a hundred and sixty five pounds, so I'm actually not that big, but I clicked on it anyways, and I thought that it looked pretty cool.

8:58 Um And so You know. Let's just say I'm Okay, I'm six foot three.

9:06 Um I'm gonna add this to cart. I always get to this d I don't know if th this is just me. Sam, but I always get to this point where it's the discount code and I'm like, Okay, there must be a discount code I could use here. And you know that there was a scan uh Oh, it was like a scam basically with honey, right? Where

9:22 It was They ignol it or someone did like a coffeezilla type video where they said Uh honey is like getting a referral affiliate fee on each w on on your data and on your products, right? Yeah, yeah, I saw that. That was about six months ago.

9:37 Yeah, exactly. It went viral. So here's an example of how I would use comet. So I would say I want to use a discount code. Oh my gosh. I don't know any.

9:48 Can you find one? And only Find one that works. And Add it.

9:55 to this forum. Oh my gosh, this is awesome. So what's cool about Uh comet is it sees what's on your screen and you can see on the right hand side it's it's looking and it's searching through You know, h in this case, ten different sources.

10:11 Um And it'll Hopefully work. Um and if it doesn't, you can keep just prompting it to get it to work, right? So look. Thrift ten is one.

10:22 Uh save sixty six dollars on my two jackets. Um And Greg, have you ever heard of Girl Math? Is that what it's called, Barry? Have you heard of Girl Math? I think this is an example of Girl Math. You've just made sixty dollars shopping.

10:35 It's b it's basically free. It's basically You just got paid sixty six bucks. I bought a jacket for three hundred and fifty pound men and I'm a hundred and sixty five pounds. But it's But it's free. That's awesome. This is Girl Math. I love this. That's cool. Hey, everyone, really quick. I can already tell that this is an episode that you guys are gonna be taking a lot of notes on.

10:56 And that's kind of a pain in the butt to do while you're either watching or listening to this. And so we actually made it really easy. We made the entire episode uh into a downloadable PDF. And this way you could just sit back and enjoy the podcast right now and get the notes later. So the link is in the description below. Click it if you want those notes. Now back to the episode. So the next

11:17 comet for has been Uh finding exact moments in YouTube videos. So I'll say something like So open up Assistant on the right hand side, find and play the exact moment Steve Job talks about Apple's intersection of liber liberal.

11:35 Arts and technology. And then Comets agents go and figure out Where that is. It yeah, it basically downloads the transcript.

11:44 Um and it searches it. And look how fast it's I use I I do that all the time. Like If I'm doing copywriting, I'm like, Oh, I I remembered a good hook. I once watched this video of Steve Jobs, and he made this like kind of small Uh offhanded comment. But I don't remember. Like it was at a graduation talk, but I don't remember which one.

12:02 And this would save so much time by being able to like just ask it to find it. It saves a lot of time and also you're in uh kind of you're in flow state. So if you wanted to do this on Chrome or or another browser, you'd have to open up another tab. You'd have to like Google it, you'd have to find it, you have to watch. Like it it pulls you out of wow you know, your zone. How am I able to run five companies that are successful is because I have a lot of tricks like this that help me save time.

12:29 So At the se it says here, the quote begins at the seven second mark. You can actually tell it's a I think it'll if I say play this video. It should actually play the video. Yeah, see it opened up a new tab.

12:43 Uh You can hear this, but Uh it's literally playing as It's crazy. And then you can go back to assistant and you can say Um, this is a cool talk.

12:56 I'm a founder. What are the most interesting takeaways for me? Right. Uh In an essay. And I find I find that YouTube is just such a wealth of information. Like

13:11 Literally everything there's so much there. All of our world you know, world leaders are on it, the biggest founders on the planet podcast. Learning from po from YouTube is so amazing. And I just find myself just going to videos like this and seeing like look how look how amazing. Man, I should've I wish I would have known about this. I actually just installed the Chrome plugin that gets the transcript. From YouTube. And it does it a little bit better than the normal YouTube transcript button. And I did it so I could copy and paste it just to put it into chat GPT to ask it these questions.

13:45 Yeah, it's It's this is gonna make your life a lot easier. You're gonna be You're gonna be way smarter from this. Not that you need to be smart, you're you're smart guys, Sam, but you know we'll take any edge we can get. I I I'm a few Brain cells away from just being a talking monkey, my friend. I could use anything I can get. Uh okay. So uh perplexity comet. That's awesome. I like that.

14:07 I'll do one last moment with perplex perplexity comment and then we can move on. So you can ask it Um, you know, one of one of the hardest things I have to do as a founder is trying to hire good talent, right? So you can say Find um Find and go to the LinkedIn profile of someone who worked on Apple AI and now at Meta.

14:27 So Wow. It'll actually go and do that for free. It's free. It just it just came out like a few days ago for free for everyone. Wow. And I have no relationship to perplexity, by the way. I'm just like I'm ha I'm I'm a

14:42 Happy You know. It makes my life better, right? So I'm happy to talk about it. I pay um I think Two hundred dollars a month for a LinkedIn recruiter.

14:52 Oh yeah. And this Just kinda Like LinkedIn recruiter has value, but this just Would have helped

15:00 As well, uh, and maybe in lieu of and for free. Well watch this. So We got this answer. The LinkedIn profile of markedly matches your criteria. He worked on Apple AI as a research engineer. And is now an AI research scientist at Meta. So let's say, Sam, that you wanted to hire him for Hampton. It would only cost a hundred million dollars. It would only cost between a hundred million and five hundred million dollars, but Uh what you can do is say

15:24 Can you craft an email? Oh my gosh. That is going to get this guy To work for me. I'm the CEO. Of Hampton.

15:40 What's the w what's the URL? JoinHamted.com. joinhampton dot com. Yeah, it's just gonna say like good luck, buddy. Get get in line, pal. I hope this message finds you well. My name is, you know, your name, I'm the CO of Joint Hampton. Uh, we're assembling an elite you know, and it this is It's not bad.

16:01 And you can you can kinda like craft it to make it your own, right? But what's really cool about this is Okay, cool. This looks great. My name is Sam Parr. Can you send this email for me on my Gmail? Oh my gosh.

16:23 So what it'll do is It'll basically create an agent that will send this email for you. So you can actually connect your Gmail. Wow. Yeah, I'm not gonna do it right now'cause You know, I'm not Sam Parr and I'm not trying to spend a hundred million dollars hiring this guy. But

16:38 You can actually Connect your Gmail and start sending emails. Man, this is just so nutty. And this is a lot of people watching this will will mock me here and make fun of me. But for the real nerds. Like I use uh Whisper. Is it called Whisperflow? Yeah, it's WhatsApp. So I'm actually just tal I actually talk to my computer a lot.

16:55 And I have got I have it set up to where like the little glow button on the bottom left hand of my screen. uh I just hold that button and I have a conversation with it and it types it for me because I hate typing. Like literally my fingers hurt sometimes. Uh like and so I will just I just have conversations with my computer. And if I could do that now in the per in Perplexities comment, that would make life way better. Yeah, so Speaking to computers.

17:22 Like how you're doing with Whisperflow, which is another underrated AI tool. Uh Once you do it, you can't go back. Yeah. Words per minute, flow you get to two hundred and twenty words per minute.

17:37 It's too slow to go back to a keyboard after. So if for th those listening, you have to check out Whisper Flow and it's or I think it's called Whisper. Is it w it's actually shockingly hard to find if you Google it because they spell Whisper with in a start up y way. I think it's like W I S P E R Um, and so the way it works is you I have it set up by my hot key where I I just click this one button, I talk to it. But sometimes I'll make a mistake and I'll say, Oh, whoops, I mean this. So uh can you pick me up a burger? I mean I actually want a taco. Like uh if I'm texting my wife, like it will not say the first thing and instead will say the second thing, or I'll say, So my opinion on that is broken down into three points. Point one is this, point two is this, point three is this. It formats it where put where it says, My opinion is this.

18:22 uh Colin. Number one, this. Paragraph number two, this. 100%. Also, I I think that people could use Whisperflow for teams. I think that's an underrated. Kinda hack. Um using the snippet library that they have.

18:37 You can create these snippets like here, calendar hours support intro FAQ, so that you can just say calendar. Or say hours and it'll just throw it in there. Um, I l I love Whisperflow. To me it's the same level up in productivity that you're gonna see if, you know, you're moving from You know.

18:57 cr uh Chrome to to an AI browser like What are you more interested in talking about? Uh AI Excel or content automation on TikTok getting followers on TikTok. Uh I I don't like TikTok, but I do want to know how to get followers, but I wanna know more so the Excel thing because I have been trying to find a replacement for Like I wanted to talk to Google Sheets. I actually use Google Sheets. I don't use Excel. But I think I saw that one company got funded, like

19:26 twelve months ago. But I went and demoed it and it was only fine, and so I haven't found a good solution for this. So yeah, if you're anything like me, you hate Excel, like the idea I don't even know what a macro is, honestly. Yeah, I I've I I don't know what that word means, but I hear people say it all the time. Like to me, an excel sheet is

19:44 Is is almost like terminal. Like when I'm in the terminal, I'm like overwhelmed. So I I try to avoid going in Excel as much as possible, but there's this thing called try shortcut dot AI. It's from this research lab of like ballers, like some of the best researchers on the planet created it. And their first product is to create an AI first version of Excel.

20:05 And it's similar to actually comet in the sense that You know, on the left it sees your screen, which is like a cloud version of Excel and on the right hand side you have prompts. And you can just use natural language. To tell it what to do.

20:21 And it it works. For example literally one minute before this call this call. I actually use comet to find I was like, Hey, f find me a sheet of financial data that I can upload to try. Try shortcut. I uploaded the try shortcut.

20:37 As you can see, it's this list of company, how much market cap they have, how much revenue they have, how much gross profit they had I said analyze my data for key insights. It gives me all the key insights. Now if I wanted to say, Hey, build me a DCF analysis. Or build me an income statement.

20:54 Or explain me this or explain me that. You can do it. And it's It works. Can you ask it a question right now? Ask it um which stock would Warren Buffett pick based off of this data?

21:07 The reason I'm asking is this I actually bought a book called like Warren Buffett on Accounting or something like that. Or Warren Buffett on balance sheets when I was trying to learn accounting. And uh'cause I was trying to figure out what does he see? You know, what what sticks out to him. But this and the book was really hard to read. Th these are complicated concepts. This might

21:25 Just do it for me. Yeah, yeah, and it has all it it has this data that is on screen, but it's also looking You know It's sending agents all across the internet to figure out what is what is happening. And and so the the beauty of this context plus that context. you end up getting really good outcomes. And then you can also say

21:46 Uh so it Warren Buffett's pick is Apple, so we're getting s some some data here. But you can also now that it's giving this data, you can actually say, like, create a new document based on this. That shows like the operating cash flow. Yeah. Wow.

22:02 This is a big deal. I just saw that they uh have this now, which is an Excel plugin. So even if you don't want to use their cloud based solution. You can just basically

22:12 Uh down look it only has thirty six ratings. This is how To this. I wanna be number thirty seven, that's great. Today's episode is brought to you by HubSwat.

22:24 Being a know it all used to be considered a bad thing, but in business, knowing it all, it's everything. Because right now, businesses are only using about twenty percent of their data unless you have HubSpot. That's where they take data that's buried in emails and call logs and meeting notes. They become insights that help you grow your business because when you know more, you grow more. You see, being a know it all isn't so bad after all. Visit hubspot.com to learn more today. Are you um usually what I've done is I have uploaded my financials like either my P N L My businesses P L or sometimes even like my personal income statement or my personal net worth, and I will Ask chat GPT questions off of based off that data.

23:02 Would you feel comfortable doing that here on comment. Not comfortable because it's not any revealing information. It's just numbers. It's not like a social security number or anything like that. But would you feel like it would give you good advice. Yeah, I mean I would feel comfortable. I think you I would feel more comfortable though just doing it locally on on Excel. So you're not uploading your data. to the cloud'cause who knows what could happen.

23:25 Um So I I you know, f if it's really sensitive data, I I do recommend just using Excel. Like why not? You don't need to have it on the cloud, right? Everyone Most people use Excel. But look look what you can do here.

23:38 Like you can You know, it's not even just querying'cause on Chat G V T you can query the data and be like, What would you do here? What would you do? There. But you can't say Uh

23:48 You know You know, if you know, build LBO models or D C F analysis or performa statements. Like this is This is stuff this is basically a financial analyst in a box. That you can Uh that you can use and it's pretty cheap.

24:04 This is magical. And this is free. You get like a certain amount of credits for free. It's not that many credits. I think it's like this is great. Yeah. That's cool. That um

24:14 That might be number two and comment might be number one, but it'd be close so far. Yeah. I knew you'd like that one. You're probably gonna hate this one, but I'm telling it to you anyways. Okay. And the reason I'm telling it to you is just'cause there's an arbitrage moment where

24:29 I'm sure you've probably seen these Slide shows on TikTok. Where maybe I actually don't use TikTok, but I uh Ma I maybe you can convince me, but I think that like this AI content It's just

24:43 Garbage. You know, like I'm a purist. I want like Mr. Beast. I bet you people I bet you have like favored it shared like AI content, but you just haven't realized. I did the other day. There was one where um A guy used made a fake potato luncher and he shot it at a grandma.

25:01 And it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. Yeah. Or like, did you see like Steven Hawking? Yes, on a birthday. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. So yeah, I guess I'm I'm kinda being convinced in real time here.

25:16 I think you guys like this podcast for two reasons. One is if you are building a business. It's lonely. And listening to Sean and I We're sort of like your friends. And the second reason is you know that we are builders. We love building companies.

25:30 It's kind of our life's vocation. So if you have a business that does at least three million dollars in revenue, I think I know exactly what you're experiencing. You've built a great business. It's working. And you finally have a second to look up. You're young, you probably run an internet company in your town, there's a potential that you're a freak, that you have no one else to talk to about growing your company. In fact, when you even go out in public, you probably don't even like telling people what you do for a living because you don't feel like explaining it.

25:56 If you fall in this category, that means you're making the biggest decisions of your life, 10, 20 million dollars decisions. All by yourself alone. And without that push, in my opinion, the risk is not blowing up. It's drifting into good enough territory. Into becoming mediocre.

26:11 And the worst thing that can happen to you is ten years from now you look back and you realize I missed this amazing opportunity. I didn't grow, I plateaued in life and in business. My company, Hampton, we changed that. If you're running a company that does at least three million in revenue, you can apply at join Hampton. Dot com. We vet you, we curate you, and we give you eight hand picked founders who have similar businesses, similar sizes as you who will challenge you, who will hold you accountable, and who will give you perspectives that you cannot get anywhere else.

26:42 And this all happens in real life. So check it out, joinhampton.com slash network. Yeah, and I think A lot of these types what I'm showing here, these TikToks are like

26:55 Six mistakes we made during pool planning and how to avoid them. You would never think that that's actually AI That created it. No, I that looks real. That looks real. Okay. So how do I uh

27:07 How do I fake the world? Here's what I'll say. I'll say that, you know, a lot of people are vibe coding software right now. Um, but the hardest problem is how do you get customers to that software? Well, one way is to own a bunch of accounts.

27:21 Like on TikTok. That you can send traffic. Two. So I believe that there's an arbitrage right now to use AI. to uh create these accounts, basically like meme accounts.

27:34 Um And then Yeah. sell your software through them. So there's a there's a s a piece of software

27:42 Uh called Real Farm. This thing must do like Ten K a month MRR or less. It's like n not many people know about it. But it's a way to automate TikToks. to drive traffic to your website. Just TikTok, not uh Instagram. Just TikTok. Uh I mean you probably could y you know, upload it to Instagram, but from what I've seen

28:01 It does TikTok the best. What it how it works is You can uh source images from let's say Pinterest. So Pinterest has tons of images. Let's say you want to do You know, top a slideshow that says top eight protein sources ranked by bioavailability and cost. So you add a prompt and generate

28:21 A slideshow you can see the slideshow over here. That's crazy. These images. And it's super clean. And the cool thing is that TikTok is promoting slideshows right now. Um, and then you can just schedule and publish it. So within like thirty seconds

28:36 You have a piece of content in your niche. That you can just schedule. Wow. Man, I I have a friend That created an app.

28:46 He's a man that helps men do Kegel exercises. Which basically makes it so you don't premature ejaculate during sex. And I was like, Man, this is Neat and all. But this is real hard to promote. Like I don't you know, I wouldn't want to brag. I I don't feel comfortable bragging about using this app.

29:01 And when you go to real farm I see real farm uh real what is their URL? Real. Like I see the companies who use it and I'm like I see A sixteen Z and I see Substack and I'm like Really? You?

29:17 You guys use this? Yeah, I don't know I don't know if they use it. But I do know that if you want to fight for customers right now and you want audiences, slideshows and tick tock slideshows is a great way to do it. And then You know, why pay an agency thousands of dollars a month when you can just d use a product like this. You wanna know something funny? Do you know who Steven Bartlett is?

29:36 I do. Steven used to work for Sean. He was like Sean's intern or something like that. And then he left to start his first business. And apparently Sean tells a story, but it's public, which is like um He had a whole bunch of like Twitter or Instagram handles. It was like things teens say about Georgia or art history where they just like told stories about art history and he would get all of them popular and then you would spend money with him, you would buy an ad and he would have his meme accounts tweet out or Instagram out your product and then like within ten minutes it would go viral or something or it would be uh

30:11 highly ranked in the app store. This is uh kind of like in the same vein. And you know, I'm teasing and making fun of it, but I'm on the real dot farm. Some of the Like he's got this one where he uses like old art to make like these slideshows. I am such a like I watch those all the time. Like if it's something like you know, the top ten like strangest disappearance like missing person cases. Like I watch all of them.

30:36 Totally. So you that's what that's what I'm saying. Like we've we've watched this. Like there's there's there's some way to do AI slop that just like is cringe and looks Bad. But some of these like slideshows and uh he also has like a U G C ad avatar feature on Real Farm that I think is pretty interesting. What's that called Real oh Real the same website?

30:57 It's the same website, but they basically have a way that you you select a template. Um let's say of this of this person, this the sleepy looking guy over here in the hoodie. And you're like, okay, I want to create an ad. Um and then you Come up with the hook.

31:13 You know, you can use like chat G V T or Cload to come up with the hook, or you can You know, actually Be creative yourself. Um and you could say like my top three ma matcha brands. Um, you choose the background music and then it creates using AI. That's crazy. That looked real.

31:28 That looks real. Um that looks real. This looks real. So this guy is fake? He's a fake guy. You set you you create the Uh Product video you can use

31:39 AI to create the product video or if you You know, want, you can create it yourself, like with an iPhone. It does look like green paint. Not matcha, but that's but you know, I guess'cause I'm staring at it. Sherwin Williams is near Macho B. That's what it looks like. Yeah, and like I s you know, it's not perfect. Um

31:59 But I also think that like we're looking at it like surgically, but the average person just swiping in their brain rotted frame of mind is probably not like it looks like paint. Yeah, they're just a fat pig in a cave just saying, buy I want to buy stuff. You know, I want to buy stuff. And and what's what's an account like this worth if you're just like reviewing matcha brands and you have thousands of followers Like yeah, like That's w probably worth a lot of money. Dude, this stuff, whenever I see it. So the capitalist side is like this is awesome.

32:29 And then I find myself slowly like becoming a socialist and I'm thinking Oh my God. Palantir is in our house just watching us and we're just buying dumb stuff from AI ads. Okay. That's interesting though. Regardless if I make fun of it. I think it's kinda cool. What's the uh what's another cool one? Okay, this one. Is also you you're you're gonna hate this, I think, also, but

32:53 Sign me up. It's for people looking for jobs. So Um there's this thing called AI apply. Mm.

33:04 Um If you go to the website you could Let's say you're looking for a job, you can literally apply to thousands of jobs automatically via AI. That's crazy, man. This is absolutely crazy. It also has this cool thing. There's like an interview buddy so it helps you like get

33:22 real time interview help and answer interview questions. Um, it helps you build in resume. It helps you build a cover letter. And obviously the core feature is the auto apply thing. Now Why I like this. Is it's

33:37 Like my feel in our little tech bubble that like the economy's good and everything like that. People are suffering right now and it's really hard to find a job. Any way that you can find an unfair advantage to get In the room. I support.

33:50 It does suck. For the HR managers and the f you know the people at the companies getting all these AI Applications. I will say that though. That is insane, man. I hate this, but um

34:03 I get I get the need. It says that it's loved by one million users. So a million people use this? Million people have used this. I I actually tweeted Like what are some underrated apps? And the CMO repl replied with this and some guy was like Yeah, but if you're uh

34:20 You know, the company getting these, this sucks. And he responded saying Like the next version of the product is helping companies filter out AI applications. This is like if Nestle like owned the hospital. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. We're gonna fatten you up and then give you a bunch of medicine to make you skinny and then we're gonna fatten you up again. And it's probably gonna be a great business. Um but I think that like there's an again an I'm always looking for like the arbitrage opportunity. Has seeing yeah, and I get the money making perspective. And I think that if you haven't made your first dollar and you're looking to do something, then this is the future. And and I

35:02 You know, like my business that made me money was a newsletter. uh that had advertising in it. So I'm I am I am no one to talk about any of this. But sometimes I see this stuff. I do get pretty bummed out where I think and and I think this will always happen. I think the people who are older will always look at the younger people and be like back in my day, like we cared about our jobs or we were more craftsmen. So I'm gonna preface all of that with with that, but Um, does any of this make you feel Bad?

35:29 Yeah, so Th well this podcast is called My First Million. So if someone is trying to go from zero to a million dollars Like these are the tools that Anyone could use. And

35:43 There's no capital restrictions and you don't need to be in Silicon Valley. To win. So I think that, you know, if I'm trying to make a million bucks, like this is this is these are the tools that I'm trying I'm using. To make a million bucks. I grew up with no connections and you know not a ton of money and stuff like that. So like I have a soft spot for people who are starting out

36:03 Going zero to one. Um You know, so I that's who I'm focusing on, man. Like I'm focusing like I'm that that's what I've like dedicated my career to to doing, really. Is Helping people

36:15 Yeah, being in the light bulb and helping people have light bulbs so they can actually Like change the trajectory of life. Now I say that With like

36:25 I don't wanna go on on X and Instagram and see AI Slop all day long. You know what I mean? Like I love X and I love Instagram. And we have kids now, right? We don't want our our our families to be addicted to these products. So

36:40 I do I I do feel that. I do feel a sense of like responsibility as well. But I do think it's interesting. You know, I think that um I think that the the generation before the internet came around, they probably said the exact same thing the same thing. I think that the generation before the industrial revolution, they would say the exact same thing. So Things tend to work themselves out.

37:00 Um and uh it's just uh this is the first time in my life that I'm old enough where I'm potentially Like Okay, uh are you getting on or are you getting off? Whereas if you're a young person, you're just born on. So there was no are you getting on or getting off for the internet. I was born into the internet. That's just how I grew up. Whereas now I'm old enough to where it's not I'm not default into it and I have to like learn about it. And this is uh this is the first time I've experienced that. Yeah. I mean we are getting older, you know? So And and we've seen some of these shifts, but I agree, like what's the difference between

37:35 brain rotting on TikTok and Like watching T V for eight hours a day. Um, these tools are are really cool. I do sp how many how many um hours a week are you just nerding out and finding all these interesting things? I mean, That's one of the reasons why I I love the design agency is like the design agency is working with all all the top AI apps to build up this stuff. So sometimes I just sit in meetings.

37:58 And I'm like You know, teach me everything about You know, character AI. Teach me everything about Jasper AI. Teach me everything about These tools. How many of them are you proficient in? I I spend

38:13 Probably Ten hours a week. Playing with new tools every single week. And I would say I'm proficient in I'm proficient, like I'm

38:23 You know Native and Ten tools, let's say. Man. Well thank you for um For um

38:30 fill me in, I do feel it's funny Uh for years I was like the young guy. I was like You know, the guy who uh my parents would ask how do the how do they turn their internet on or plug their TV in because they think that I'm like a a computer geek. And uh but I was never actually that. And now I feel Um, like I'm even further away from like the AI epicenter, but I'm so happy that I have friends like you who can like pull me towards it a little bit and show me what's cool and and not make me feel stupid by not knowing what it is. And that's the kind of the value that you provided to our audience this episode. So I appreciate you doing that. It's literally my pleasure. It's an honor to do to do so and Like like I said, like I'm in the light bulb, so

39:10 You know, if you had one or two or three light bulbs. Um, even if some of the stuff you you saw today was like, uh, that's a little bit cringe, I wouldn't do that. Um There might be a way that you can do or use some of these tools in a way that works for you. And I think that's the important part. And that's like the important takeaway. So Sam, thanks for

39:29 having me on and and letting me share my nerdy stuff. Um And I'll see you next time. Alright, that's it. That's the pot. I feel like I could rule the world. I know I could be what I want to.
