1
00:00:00.471 --> 00:00:03.514
GPT-6 Astra is here and I got good news for you.

2
00:00:03.594 --> 00:00:07.338
By the end of this episode, you're going to understand what are the different startup ideas?

3
00:00:07.378 --> 00:00:08.659
What are the different use cases?

4
00:00:08.739 --> 00:00:10.300
How do you use it to be more productive?

5
00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:12.282
How do you use it to save money, to make money?

6
00:00:12.742 --> 00:00:13.944
Everything all in here.

7
00:00:13.984 --> 00:00:18.087
I'm going to show you how you can use it with hardware to create hardware businesses.

8
00:00:18.488 --> 00:00:22.791
And this is an episode not just focused around cool 3D demos.

9
00:00:22.832 --> 00:00:23.072
This is

10
00:00:23.492 --> 00:00:30.214
for people who want to make money to be more productive with AI and how you can use it specifically with Asha.

11
00:00:30.254 --> 00:00:31.394
What are the different prompts?

12
00:00:31.474 --> 00:00:32.354
How to think about it?

13
00:00:32.774 --> 00:00:38.676
I brought on my friend Ross Mike, who's just amazing at clearly explaining all this sorts of stuff.

14
00:00:38.956 --> 00:00:42.997
So enjoy the episode, like, comment, subscribe for more of this in your feed.

15
00:00:43.237 --> 00:00:44.777
And I can't wait to see you at the end.

16
00:00:53.068 --> 00:00:58.930
Ross Mike on the pod, this isn't your average GP6 Astro review, is it?

17
00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:00.651
No, we don't have no games.

18
00:01:00.791 --> 00:01:03.472
We don't have any trade demos.

19
00:01:03.512 --> 00:01:06.173
We don't have, there's some weird ones, right?

20
00:01:06.193 --> 00:01:07.413
Some weird 3D ones.

21
00:01:08.234 --> 00:01:12.795
Although those things are cool, they're not really useful to myself, you and Greg.

22
00:01:13.195 --> 00:01:19.558
So we're actually gonna talk about some useful, cool stuff and particularly, we're gonna get you guys to dream big with hardware.

23
00:01:20.173 --> 00:01:20.895
Yeah, exactly.

24
00:01:20.995 --> 00:01:28.153
So by the end of this episode, what I hope you take away is getting your creative juices flowing around really...

25
00:01:30.256 --> 00:01:41.520
some ideas around how you can build a business using GPT-6 Astra and actually how you can have a more productive code base, have better products.

26
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:50.303
So by the end of this, you're not going to get some glitzy, cool video game thing, but you're actually going to have, okay, here's what I can actually create today.

27
00:01:50.957 --> 00:01:53.278
Yup, that's what we're going to do and we'll just get started.

28
00:01:53.318 --> 00:01:58.280
So a couple of things about the model, first and foremost, this is OpenAI's most expensive model.

29
00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:01.282
It's on par with Fable in terms of pricing.

30
00:02:01.442 --> 00:02:05.063
But if you have a codec subscription, very subsidized.

31
00:02:05.403 --> 00:02:11.346
And not only that, it's also very efficient, meaning it doesn't take as many steps to complete a task.

32
00:02:11.386 --> 00:02:15.428
So even though, yes, the price is high, you're still getting a good bang for intelligence.

33
00:02:16.028 --> 00:02:22.250
If you have an existing app or web app, mobile app, something that you've worked on software, I highly encourage you to do two things.

34
00:02:22.790 --> 00:02:27.491
Tell the agent, tell your codex agent, I want to run a performance update.

35
00:02:27.791 --> 00:02:29.951
My pages aren't as fast as they need to be.

36
00:02:30.212 --> 00:02:32.252
My API calls aren't as fast as they need to be.

37
00:02:32.512 --> 00:02:35.773
Please review my entire app and suggest a performance update.

38
00:02:36.213 --> 00:02:43.283
I did that for one of my apps and speeds went from 800 milliseconds to literally 20 to 30 milliseconds.

39
00:02:43.303 --> 00:02:43.443
Right.

40
00:02:43.704 --> 00:02:46.087
That's an insane increase in speed.

41
00:02:46.447 --> 00:02:47.469
Highly suggest you do that.

42
00:02:47.789 --> 00:02:51.034
Number two, something we couldn't do with Fable is a security audit.

43
00:02:51.394 --> 00:02:52.355
I was telling Greg this.

44
00:02:52.735 --> 00:02:57.519
I have some sort of payments startup, if you will, in the background for a specific niche.

45
00:02:58.019 --> 00:03:00.080
And I had a couple of people using it.

46
00:03:00.401 --> 00:03:06.745
I ran the security audit and Astro was basically like my boy, you would have been cooked if I didn't read all this.

47
00:03:06.785 --> 00:03:10.188
So run a security audit if you have an app that people are actually using.

48
00:03:10.808 --> 00:03:13.791
In terms of UI, I mean, I could just show some examples.

49
00:03:14.231 --> 00:03:17.174
This is one that it designed really nice.

50
00:03:17.955 --> 00:03:20.717
The reason it was nice was because I gave it a reference image.

51
00:03:21.158 --> 00:03:26.883
And the reference image, if I have it, is the old Microsoft XP network icon.

52
00:03:27.163 --> 00:03:29.225
I really like the OT network icon.

53
00:03:29.245 --> 00:03:30.046
Very swaggy.

54
00:03:30.246 --> 00:03:31.227
Very swaggy.

55
00:03:31.247 --> 00:03:31.888
You remember this.

56
00:03:31.908 --> 00:03:32.708
Yeah.

57
00:03:33.629 --> 00:03:35.593
I gave it that I'm like, use this as a reference image.

58
00:03:36.054 --> 00:03:37.736
And yeah, it looks pretty nice.

59
00:03:38.057 --> 00:03:41.563
Without a reference image, it kind of does too much, right?

60
00:03:42.024 --> 00:03:45.029
So do what you will with that.

61
00:03:45.490 --> 00:03:46.732
Number four, computer use.

62
00:03:47.448 --> 00:03:56.936
The agent codex Astra, insane with using your computer, insane with doing tasks for you in the background, using your local machine.

63
00:03:57.317 --> 00:03:58.478
Highly encourage you to do that.

64
00:03:58.918 --> 00:04:00.580
But what Greg wanted me to talk about.

65
00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:06.144
Wait, before you get into this, before you get into this, I want to share some things of my own.

66
00:04:06.165 --> 00:04:11.549
Of my own that I think you should use Astra for.

67
00:04:11.709 --> 00:04:13.491
So let me share my screen real quick.

68
00:04:13.831 --> 00:04:14.111
Please.

69
00:04:14.850 --> 00:04:16.270
So I tweeted this.

70
00:04:17.371 --> 00:04:18.891
Greg Brockman retweeted it.

71
00:04:19.371 --> 00:04:20.932
And he said it was good.

72
00:04:21.012 --> 00:04:23.212
So if it's good enough for Greg Brockman.

73
00:04:23.232 --> 00:04:24.472
It's good enough for all of us.

74
00:04:24.512 --> 00:04:25.573
It's good enough for all of us.

75
00:04:26.373 --> 00:04:33.195
So I just wrote, here's some nine cool, you know, Astro prompts we're trying.

76
00:04:33.335 --> 00:04:35.155
One is the bill renegotiator.

77
00:04:35.595 --> 00:04:42.397
Go through my internet phone software bills, jump into each provider's chat support and negotiate them down or cancel what I'm not using.

78
00:04:43.584 --> 00:04:45.607
Oh, no brainer for a lot of stuff.

79
00:04:45.647 --> 00:04:46.628
I'll tell you that right now.

80
00:04:46.949 --> 00:04:48.130
And you're in Canada, right?

81
00:04:48.150 --> 00:04:52.696
So you can, you know, you're paying a lot probably for your phone and internet and stuff like that.

82
00:04:52.736 --> 00:04:52.997
So.

83
00:04:54.370 --> 00:04:57.812
I'm obsessed with how do you turn agencies into software right now.

84
00:04:58.493 --> 00:05:01.235
So here, pick one service business in a niche.

85
00:05:01.635 --> 00:05:05.317
You can pick the niche and reverse engineer the exact workflow they sell to clients.

86
00:05:05.558 --> 00:05:12.582
Break it into steps, tools, use inputs, outputs, human judgment points in places where the work gets slow or expensive.

87
00:05:12.762 --> 00:05:16.525
Then design the simplest AI product that could replace the first version of that service.

88
00:05:17.005 --> 00:05:18.886
and charge $500 to $5,000 a month.

89
00:05:18.926 --> 00:05:20.006
Now, is it going to be perfect?

90
00:05:20.487 --> 00:05:27.250
No, but it's going to get your creative juices flowing around what the software could look like.

91
00:05:28.438 --> 00:05:29.778
And I want to add to that.

92
00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:35.641
I think one thing that I do a lot that a lot of people should do is I prototype the heck out of everything, Greg.

93
00:05:35.661 --> 00:05:40.963
Like, let's say like I'm building an app and I'm using like Daytona, like their sandbox provider.

94
00:05:41.423 --> 00:05:46.124
I will literally before I jump into Daytona, I'll spend 15 minutes trying to build a clone.

95
00:05:46.385 --> 00:05:51.486
It's not that I'm going to use the clone, but I'm going to allow building the clone to like just get me to think.

96
00:05:51.506 --> 00:05:55.608
Because I think one thing that I've realized is intelligence has gone up.

97
00:05:56.088 --> 00:05:59.531
But the bravery for people to try new things hasn't gone up.

98
00:06:00.091 --> 00:06:00.292
Right.

99
00:06:00.312 --> 00:06:07.898
Like I said, like I said this the other in a video, the saddest thing that people can do with a model like GPT-6 Astra is generate landing pages.

100
00:06:08.498 --> 00:06:08.999
Literally.

101
00:06:10.340 --> 00:06:13.022
It's just like you can use GPT-4 or whatever we have.

102
00:06:13.042 --> 00:06:13.943
Like we're past that.

103
00:06:13.983 --> 00:06:15.124
Like really think bigger.

104
00:06:15.144 --> 00:06:17.125
So I like that idea.

105
00:06:17.165 --> 00:06:17.806
Number two is fire.

106
00:06:17.826 --> 00:06:17.966
Fire.

107
00:06:18.347 --> 00:06:23.730
Number three, I almost called it the Gary Vaynerchuk prompt, but I refrained.

108
00:06:24.791 --> 00:06:30.054
Watch Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist in my city for cameras, furniture, bikes, what have you.

109
00:06:30.514 --> 00:06:34.657
Listed way under market and text me the second ones mispriced with the link.

110
00:06:34.717 --> 00:06:39.520
This is a really good idea for people who just want to make a few hundred dollars a day or something.

111
00:06:40.501 --> 00:06:43.643
And maybe they can't get a job.

112
00:06:43.663 --> 00:06:44.203
A lot of our...

113
00:06:44.884 --> 00:06:46.786
young people can't get jobs right now.

114
00:06:47.466 --> 00:06:50.769
I'm going to screenshot that and put it in my church group chat because it's true.

115
00:06:51.049 --> 00:06:53.291
Jobs for the young kids is really, really hard right now.

116
00:06:53.671 --> 00:06:53.931
Yeah.

117
00:06:54.472 --> 00:06:54.752
Yeah.

118
00:06:55.152 --> 00:06:55.993
It's really, really hard.

119
00:06:56.513 --> 00:06:57.334
So that's a good one.

120
00:06:57.494 --> 00:07:01.257
And also, like, for a lot of people, like, it's fun to do this sort of thing.

121
00:07:01.317 --> 00:07:03.759
So young or old, this is an interesting one.

122
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.041
Number four, if you are a founder,

123
00:07:07.970 --> 00:07:08.890
This is a no-brainer.

124
00:07:09.111 --> 00:07:10.051
Look at my docs.

125
00:07:10.171 --> 00:07:12.472
Basically, it's creating the one-person company dashboard.

126
00:07:12.512 --> 00:07:20.176
Look at my docs, notes, Stripe exports, analytics, customer calls, and project lists, and build a weekly operator dashboard.

127
00:07:20.276 --> 00:07:28.840
I want to know what is making money, what's wasting time, what customers are asking for, what I should stop doing, and the three highest leverage actions for the next week.

128
00:07:29.380 --> 00:07:30.700
Be blunt and show your work.

129
00:07:31.201 --> 00:07:31.541
Prove.

130
00:07:32.461 --> 00:07:34.482
You should set that up for your project.

131
00:07:34.922 --> 00:07:36.283
I was literally just going to say that.

132
00:07:39.264 --> 00:07:45.607
Okay, we got a few more and then we'll get to your hardware thing using Blender, which I think is just fascinating.

133
00:07:45.627 --> 00:07:47.128
I want you to show me that.

134
00:07:47.568 --> 00:07:50.810
Number five, audit my company for agent opportunities.

135
00:07:51.190 --> 00:07:56.333
Look at how this business works and find the tasks we should give to agents before hiring another person.

136
00:07:56.353 --> 00:07:59.955
This is just how, by the way, side note, this is how I'm thinking.

137
00:08:00.035 --> 00:08:02.456
Before I hire anyone, I'm like,

138
00:08:02.996 --> 00:08:05.939
Should I just get an agent to do this?

139
00:08:06.520 --> 00:08:07.801
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

140
00:08:08.321 --> 00:08:12.586
But that's been the default of how I've been thinking as I'm building my company.

141
00:08:12.686 --> 00:08:21.234
For each task, estimate the current human time, the cost of mistakes, the tools involved, the difficulty of automating it, and the first safe version we could deploy.

142
00:08:21.314 --> 00:08:23.876
Prioritize things that save money or create revenue within 30 days.

143
00:08:25.582 --> 00:08:28.943
And then we have, I'll do, we're almost done, I'll do them all.

144
00:08:29.163 --> 00:08:30.443
Be my browser operator.

145
00:08:30.563 --> 00:08:34.204
So you can actually use Astra to do this, right?

146
00:08:34.985 --> 00:08:36.945
Use the browser to complete this workflow.

147
00:08:37.125 --> 00:08:38.085
You give it the workflow.

148
00:08:38.546 --> 00:08:44.667
As you go, click through the actual sites, collect the data, fill the forms where appropriate, and keep notes on what broke or slowed down.

149
00:08:45.007 --> 00:08:50.529
When you're done, give me the output, the repeatable SOP, and the automation plan so this can become an agent.

150
00:08:51.178 --> 00:08:52.339
And it will do this well.

151
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.582
Like I'm so bullish on computer use.

152
00:08:55.622 --> 00:09:01.287
Like I really like a lot of – and a lot of people might think it's like insane or it doesn't work or it breaks.

153
00:09:01.327 --> 00:09:04.770
Like you'll be surprised how good like Astra is.

154
00:09:04.830 --> 00:09:08.353
If anyone's in Canada, then you know how terrible the CRA website is.

155
00:09:08.373 --> 00:09:11.456
Like how atrocious that monstrosity is.

156
00:09:12.156 --> 00:09:13.738
If the government's watching, I'm just joking.

157
00:09:14.078 --> 00:09:17.922
But I literally got Astra with Codex to comb through –

158
00:09:18.522 --> 00:09:23.149
Tons of pages to find me the exact thing I want that I couldn't find on Google search.

159
00:09:23.209 --> 00:09:23.409
Right.

160
00:09:23.429 --> 00:09:25.572
So it really is that good.

161
00:09:27.374 --> 00:09:27.915
100%.

162
00:09:28.156 --> 00:09:31.200
Number seven, you can literally build a QA team.

163
00:09:31.861 --> 00:09:32.101
Um...

164
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:40.864
So every night, open my app on a real phone, go through sign up, check out in the main flows, and screenshot anything that's broken or confusing.

165
00:09:41.104 --> 00:09:42.905
So keyword confusing too.

166
00:09:42.945 --> 00:09:50.129
When I say QA, I don't necessarily mean there's like, of course, it could be like a bug, but it can also be like a UX bug.

167
00:09:50.149 --> 00:09:51.990
People are just confused what happens here.

168
00:09:52.010 --> 00:09:53.251
It's too much information.

169
00:09:53.271 --> 00:09:54.631
The bugs are in the wrong place.

170
00:09:54.751 --> 00:09:55.472
Exactly.

171
00:09:56.512 --> 00:09:56.773
Yeah.

172
00:09:58.362 --> 00:10:07.469
competitor spy, sign up to my top three competitors, sit inside their product and their emails, and send me a monthly report on every new feature, price change, and the thing they do better than that.

173
00:10:07.489 --> 00:10:08.349
That is a good one.

174
00:10:08.689 --> 00:10:10.491
That is a good one.

175
00:10:10.571 --> 00:10:10.891
Yeah.

176
00:10:11.611 --> 00:10:11.912
I mean...

177
00:10:13.308 --> 00:10:16.729
I think what's interesting is there's two types of founders.

178
00:10:17.029 --> 00:10:27.913
Either the founders who are obsessed with the competition and are spending too much time looking at competition, and then the founder who ignores it completely and doesn't know what they're doing at all.

179
00:10:28.414 --> 00:10:31.395
I think what's good about this is it's sort of like the happy medium.

180
00:10:31.415 --> 00:10:33.896
It's just monthly.

181
00:10:34.016 --> 00:10:37.677
Every month I want to know what I need to know and that's it.

182
00:10:38.857 --> 00:10:39.497
No, that makes sense.

183
00:10:39.577 --> 00:10:42.359
And again, it's competition for a reason, right?

184
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:46.542
Like there's sort of this element of like, oh, you know, looking around and stuff.

185
00:10:46.562 --> 00:10:48.143
But obviously, innovation always wins.

186
00:10:49.024 --> 00:10:51.505
And this one, yes, it is make a video.

187
00:10:51.525 --> 00:10:53.066
The last one is make a video game.

188
00:10:53.206 --> 00:11:03.973
But it's making a video game with the purpose of getting you email signups and phone numbers and data and helping you sell whatever you're selling.

189
00:11:03.994 --> 00:11:04.274
So it's...

190
00:11:05.348 --> 00:11:07.369
Build a browser game around this mechanic.

191
00:11:07.529 --> 00:11:08.790
You give it a mechanic.

192
00:11:09.211 --> 00:11:10.411
Don't just make a cute demo.

193
00:11:10.532 --> 00:11:14.034
Add progression, tension, scoring failure, polish.

194
00:11:14.074 --> 00:11:16.716
And one reason, someone would send it to a friend.

195
00:11:16.756 --> 00:11:20.558
That's extremely key because you want to create something that's a viral game.

196
00:11:20.598 --> 00:11:25.482
I saw a lot of games that are really cool, but people wouldn't actually send them to their friends.

197
00:11:25.942 --> 00:11:28.664
Then add lead capture, like email and SMS.

198
00:11:29.124 --> 00:11:32.867
And it needs to tie into my core product, which sells XYZ.

199
00:11:33.657 --> 00:11:33.897
Yeah.

200
00:11:34.778 --> 00:11:35.018
Yeah.

201
00:11:35.378 --> 00:11:36.259
That's actually pretty good.

202
00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:40.142
Like a, like a really like something cute and fun that I'd want to share.

203
00:11:40.182 --> 00:11:40.922
Cause to your point, right?

204
00:11:40.942 --> 00:11:43.965
Like people are making these first person shooters, which is great.

205
00:11:43.985 --> 00:11:46.967
It shows the model capability, but I have call of duty at home.

206
00:11:47.427 --> 00:11:47.988
Exactly.

207
00:11:48.918 --> 00:11:49.178
All right.

208
00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:50.740
I showed you mine.

209
00:11:50.781 --> 00:11:51.662
You show me yours.

210
00:11:52.082 --> 00:11:52.363
Yes.

211
00:11:52.583 --> 00:11:55.607
So please don't make fun of me, people watching.

212
00:11:55.647 --> 00:11:58.590
But I've had this idea of a hardware startup for a while.

213
00:11:59.431 --> 00:12:02.375
Obviously, we've seen the rise of personal agents.

214
00:12:02.595 --> 00:12:07.161
I have one in the works that I plan on launching soon that I think is a different take and pretty cool.

215
00:12:07.882 --> 00:12:17.810
But the one aspect that the reason why I wanted a personal agent and like this is again like a dream of mine since a child, like the whole Jarvis thing is I wanted there to be physical hardware.

216
00:12:17.850 --> 00:12:18.070
Right.

217
00:12:18.610 --> 00:12:27.117
And it's such a miss for companies like, you know, Amazon and like Apple, like they have like these beautiful products, but like their agent or the AI sucks.

218
00:12:27.558 --> 00:12:29.439
In particular, I'm talking about the HomePod.

219
00:12:29.459 --> 00:12:34.063
If anyone has the HomePod, Siri is terrible, but this is the best looking speaker ever.

220
00:12:34.663 --> 00:12:35.323
In my opinion.

221
00:12:35.744 --> 00:12:41.186
And I just got to think, I'm like, what if I could put my agent on like a HomePod?

222
00:12:41.206 --> 00:12:43.967
So first, my thought process is buy the HomePod and jailbreak it.

223
00:12:44.427 --> 00:12:46.588
I did a little bit of research, not possible to do.

224
00:12:47.008 --> 00:12:47.929
What if I built it?

225
00:12:48.409 --> 00:12:48.589
Right.

226
00:12:48.949 --> 00:12:53.791
So I literally told the agent and I'll zoom in so we can see the convo.

227
00:12:54.372 --> 00:12:56.473
I asked, I told the agent, I have Blender installed.

228
00:12:56.493 --> 00:12:57.053
Can you use it?

229
00:12:57.913 --> 00:12:59.054
I know that it can use it.

230
00:12:59.174 --> 00:13:00.854
I just wanted it to set up a connection.

231
00:13:01.375 --> 00:13:01.895
It did that.

232
00:13:02.215 --> 00:13:04.516
And I asked it to create a HomePod-like speaker.

233
00:13:04.796 --> 00:13:05.216
And it did.

234
00:13:05.916 --> 00:13:08.197
And I asked him, I want to build an AI home speaker.

235
00:13:08.297 --> 00:13:12.119
I want to load my agent Ruth from, and I gave it my repo.

236
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:13.700
How would I DIY?

237
00:13:14.680 --> 00:13:18.304
And then it basically said that I would need a Raspberry Pi speaker.

238
00:13:18.784 --> 00:13:21.166
I could load in my agent and it was possible.

239
00:13:21.467 --> 00:13:24.189
Now, this got me excited because I didn't think this was possible.

240
00:13:24.470 --> 00:13:26.672
I didn't think that I had the capability to do it.

241
00:13:27.292 --> 00:13:29.595
And it basically created me a diagram.

242
00:13:29.775 --> 00:13:35.901
And it said it even went as far as to say this is what I would need to buy to have a first physical prototype.

243
00:13:36.361 --> 00:13:38.102
Now, I got excited, right?

244
00:13:38.162 --> 00:13:39.702
And it even gave me a budget.

245
00:13:39.742 --> 00:13:41.483
It's like $350 to $450 before tax.

246
00:13:42.143 --> 00:13:42.843
I live in Canada.

247
00:13:42.863 --> 00:13:44.724
So this is like $700, $600.

248
00:13:45.404 --> 00:13:46.484
I was like, cool.

249
00:13:46.624 --> 00:13:48.485
Give me Amazon.ca links, right?

250
00:13:49.305 --> 00:13:50.145
And it got me the links.

251
00:13:50.826 --> 00:13:52.826
And it was $561 before tax.

252
00:13:52.866 --> 00:13:54.127
I was like, I just bought.

253
00:13:54.247 --> 00:13:55.607
I just automatically bought.

254
00:13:55.927 --> 00:13:56.647
But then I panicked.

255
00:13:56.787 --> 00:13:57.668
I'm like, what do I do?

256
00:13:57.768 --> 00:13:58.988
I don't know nothing about hardware.

257
00:13:59.628 --> 00:14:04.970
So I asked the agent, Greg, can you use Blender to show me the setup of this project?

258
00:14:05.771 --> 00:14:06.851
And will you believe it?

259
00:14:07.632 --> 00:14:12.153
It showed exactly how I would have each thing laid up.

260
00:14:12.373 --> 00:14:12.553
Right.

261
00:14:12.573 --> 00:14:13.793
This is the Raspberry Pi.

262
00:14:14.213 --> 00:14:15.514
This is me plugging it in.

263
00:14:15.954 --> 00:14:17.094
This is some sort of speak.

264
00:14:17.134 --> 00:14:17.854
This is the speaker.

265
00:14:17.894 --> 00:14:19.195
This is some sort of connector.

266
00:14:19.335 --> 00:14:21.836
I don't even know what this is, but this helps.

267
00:14:22.476 --> 00:14:24.036
And I think this is the voice recognizer.

268
00:14:24.536 --> 00:14:26.297
But it basically laid out.

269
00:14:27.097 --> 00:14:29.338
on Blender, how I would have this set up.

270
00:14:30.098 --> 00:14:33.098
Now I've got to the point where I'm like, oh, I can build this.

271
00:14:33.178 --> 00:14:41.780
And then it was telling me once we've proven the proof of concept, then this is what we would need to build out the HomePod version.

272
00:14:42.040 --> 00:14:52.843
And then even in a separate thread, I have emails there so I don't want to share, but in a separate thread, it was even telling me Chinese suppliers to reach out to to build the HomePod shell.

273
00:14:53.483 --> 00:14:56.304
So I went from idea to setup.

274
00:14:56.984 --> 00:14:59.906
I bought all the products and I told that I bought all the products.

275
00:14:59.946 --> 00:15:04.827
And then I was like, OK, like I bought this stuff, but I have my agent repo.

276
00:15:05.268 --> 00:15:08.629
What code would I need to add or what changes would I need to make to set this up?

277
00:15:09.273 --> 00:15:10.173
Guess what it did, Greg?

278
00:15:10.654 --> 00:15:13.435
It wrote the code and it made a PR.

279
00:15:14.175 --> 00:15:15.356
I literally had code.

280
00:15:15.416 --> 00:15:20.378
It made a PR where like once I have the thing set up, I can easily load my agent.

281
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:28.262
Mind you, this is a couple of minutes conversation, but I dared to think a little more bigger out of my box.

282
00:15:28.782 --> 00:15:30.663
So it gave me the PR.

283
00:15:30.763 --> 00:15:31.944
It explained to me the code.

284
00:15:32.484 --> 00:15:35.045
And then I asked it for the links again because I didn't purchase at that time.

285
00:15:35.586 --> 00:15:36.446
I asked for the PR.

286
00:15:36.546 --> 00:15:37.206
I can click it.

287
00:15:37.227 --> 00:15:37.867
I can show you.

288
00:15:39.128 --> 00:15:39.849
I merged the PR.

289
00:15:40.629 --> 00:15:41.310
It made a PR.

290
00:15:41.850 --> 00:15:49.737
So I know like once I have all the hardware stuff ready, I'm going to build it and I'm going to have it set up.

291
00:15:50.237 --> 00:15:51.958
And I even asked it just to be sure.

292
00:15:52.179 --> 00:15:54.761
Do I get one of each, by the way?

293
00:15:55.301 --> 00:15:55.982
And it said yes.

294
00:15:56.482 --> 00:16:02.967
So we went from idea, from exploration, Greg, to set up to initial prototype.

295
00:16:03.408 --> 00:16:04.148
Cost you 500 bucks.

296
00:16:05.349 --> 00:16:08.614
It gave me it showed me exactly how I would set everything up.

297
00:16:09.055 --> 00:16:09.235
Right.

298
00:16:09.255 --> 00:16:12.079
And if I have further questions, I'll continue to work with the agent.

299
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:18.589
It also wrote the code that I'm going to load into the Raspberry Pi to make my speaker agent work.

300
00:16:19.670 --> 00:16:21.493
This was half an hour work.

301
00:16:22.414 --> 00:16:34.999
This, in my opinion, is the true power of Astra, where like we have models like Fable, like, okay, not Fable, but we have like 5.6 Soul and all these different smaller models that are good at a lot of things.

302
00:16:35.619 --> 00:16:43.082
What makes Astra amazing is for these like insane hardware projects, this next level software.

303
00:16:43.102 --> 00:16:46.203
So again, if you're using Astra to build a landing page.

304
00:16:47.532 --> 00:16:52.219
It's a sad use of intelligence, but I kind of wanted to use this moment to encourage you all.

305
00:16:52.499 --> 00:16:57.527
If you've had that hardware idea, if you've had that next level software idea, if you want another.

306
00:16:57.547 --> 00:16:59.289
I don't know if I have the tab here.

307
00:17:01.552 --> 00:17:02.854
I have a PS4 lying around.

308
00:17:03.595 --> 00:17:08.419
And I was wondering if I can I boot Linux on a PS4 and run agents on it?

309
00:17:08.979 --> 00:17:11.542
And I literally said, I have PS4 based on what you know about me.

310
00:17:11.582 --> 00:17:12.723
I don't plan on gaming with it.

311
00:17:12.743 --> 00:17:13.323
What can I do?

312
00:17:13.663 --> 00:17:14.644
That was the first thing I asked.

313
00:17:14.984 --> 00:17:17.606
And it's like you could turn it to a media server, this, this, that.

314
00:17:17.626 --> 00:17:20.249
But then it said, turn it into a Linux learning project.

315
00:17:20.909 --> 00:17:22.691
I was like, oh, I didn't know you could do that.

316
00:17:23.051 --> 00:17:26.093
So I said, low-key nuking it and running Linux would be cool.

317
00:17:26.714 --> 00:17:32.578
And then it says, yeah, a PS4 you can SSH into and use as a Linux lab would be a fun project.

318
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.702
And then people have been talking about Omarchi, which is a type of Linux distro.

319
00:17:38.083 --> 00:17:39.664
And I was like, could I run it on PS4?

320
00:17:40.304 --> 00:17:40.605
Yes.

321
00:17:42.311 --> 00:17:46.495
I could run Linux on my dust collecting PS4.

322
00:17:47.076 --> 00:17:51.320
I would have never imagined, thought, or even tried to do this.

323
00:17:51.380 --> 00:17:56.044
But with this model, I'm starting to think way outside the box.

324
00:17:56.084 --> 00:17:58.987
And mind you, you might think, oh, you're a developer, so this is easier.

325
00:17:59.507 --> 00:18:01.349
This is networking OS stuff.

326
00:18:02.090 --> 00:18:04.212
I'm more of a web dev, mobile dev dev.

327
00:18:05.170 --> 00:18:10.095
This is like a little above like my pay grade.

328
00:18:10.315 --> 00:18:13.698
But like the last couple of months, I'm doing stuff like this.

329
00:18:13.979 --> 00:18:14.920
I have a home lab.

330
00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:15.540
I'm buying.

331
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:17.122
I bought a couple of DGX.

332
00:18:17.142 --> 00:18:23.087
I am thinking way above what my normal means would have been if I didn't have access to this intelligence.

333
00:18:23.648 --> 00:18:24.889
And there's no reason you shouldn't.

334
00:18:25.390 --> 00:18:28.653
I'll stop yapping, Greg, so you can say some things as well.

335
00:18:29.825 --> 00:18:39.506
I remember when, 2024, when Lovable and Bolt and Replit at V0 came out, all of a sudden anyone could be a vibe coder.

336
00:18:40.752 --> 00:18:45.873
And we started seeing all these vibe coding projects, websites, landing pages, apps.

337
00:18:47.334 --> 00:18:50.574
And the effects of that are still playing out to this day.

338
00:18:51.935 --> 00:18:57.436
It feels like we're having a similar shift right now, but for physical projects.

339
00:18:57.496 --> 00:19:01.077
So what you showed me with your hardware product...

340
00:19:01.820 --> 00:19:09.462
You know, that would have required you become a full time 3D designer or engineer how to do any of this.

341
00:19:09.522 --> 00:19:12.383
And to be honest, I wouldn't have tried because it's intimidating.

342
00:19:12.443 --> 00:19:17.805
And like I think, you know, most humans like I myself, like I like knowing the stuff that I'm doing.

343
00:19:17.825 --> 00:19:23.927
And if I don't know, like about hardware, for example, it would feel intimidating for me for me to even try.

344
00:19:23.947 --> 00:19:24.047
Yeah.

345
00:19:25.017 --> 00:19:33.383
Now, like I have a friend for 200 bucks a month or 50 bucks a month or 20 bucks a month that can actually walk me through all of this.

346
00:19:33.923 --> 00:19:34.984
And it's super possible.

347
00:19:35.024 --> 00:19:37.986
I even have a desk coming up that's going to be like right here.

348
00:19:38.346 --> 00:19:39.847
And it's going to be my hardware station.

349
00:19:39.947 --> 00:19:41.829
And I'm going to just start building random stuff.

350
00:19:42.209 --> 00:19:44.050
And let's say nothing turns to a product.

351
00:19:44.410 --> 00:19:49.274
The enjoyment of learning and developing and maybe it leads to job opportunity, a business, whatever it is.

352
00:19:49.794 --> 00:19:52.656
You owe it to yourself to do this stuff.

353
00:19:53.572 --> 00:20:01.038
Yeah, I mean, make a printable object, a CAD file, a blender model, a circuit board, like something.

354
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:16.529
Because I think that there's just, there's opportunity in terms of niche products that you might be like, oh, I don't know how big of a market there is for this sort of thing, but it doesn't need to be huge.

355
00:20:17.070 --> 00:20:20.712
And if it doesn't cost a lot to create, there's a business here.

356
00:20:20.772 --> 00:20:21.173
So I think,

357
00:20:21.933 --> 00:20:35.384
I actually personally believe that there's going to be thousands of $1 million a year plus businesses that get created in this whole shift that OpenAI has spearheaded with Astra around like vibe manufacturing.

358
00:20:37.526 --> 00:20:39.068
Will the other models catch up?

359
00:20:39.348 --> 00:20:39.929
Absolutely.

360
00:20:40.990 --> 00:20:47.418
But I think that it's fair to say that Astra was the first model that ushered in this era.

361
00:20:47.939 --> 00:20:54.587
And I think this is just really, for me, where my brain is going is like, okay, what are some small little products that...

362
00:20:54.747 --> 00:21:06.573
that seem niche, but solve a real pain point that I can go and create in a short amount of time and then create meta ads to drive traffic to those products.

363
00:21:06.593 --> 00:21:07.954
That's what's going through my mind.

364
00:21:08.594 --> 00:21:11.956
Yeah, and when I build my whole pod, I'm going to hit up Greg to teach me all that stuff.

365
00:21:11.976 --> 00:21:15.037
So make sure you're subscribed because that's all the stuff he teaches here too.

366
00:21:15.838 --> 00:21:16.658
I appreciate you.

367
00:21:17.158 --> 00:21:18.379
Mickey, thanks for coming on.

368
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:19.740
Astra is...

369
00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:46.568
awesome um and i'm curious to see how the other models uh take note of it sure anthropic is sweat for sure for the first time i would like if i if someone asked me pick a subscription i would cancel and drop my anthropics subscription i would cancel claude astra's that good so please take advantage of the subsidies before they eventually start charging us the real price of these things

370
00:21:47.532 --> 00:21:52.341
Yeah, because the value, I mean, think about it, like the value is obviously more than what we're paying now.

371
00:21:52.878 --> 00:21:53.078
Yeah.

372
00:21:53.358 --> 00:21:53.558
Yeah.

373
00:21:53.598 --> 00:22:07.002
Like I like I asked my Astra agent to calculate how much of how much I've been using, like the subscription price, but also like in terms of API price, how much like I've been using in terms of model costs.

374
00:22:07.562 --> 00:22:11.723
And in the last week, I've spent over twenty four thousand dollars.

375
00:22:12.163 --> 00:22:15.224
Mind you, I just have a couple of two hundred dollar subscriptions.

376
00:22:15.264 --> 00:22:15.444
Right.

377
00:22:15.484 --> 00:22:19.185
So there's an insane level of subsidization that's happening.

378
00:22:19.925 --> 00:22:21.186
Take advantage of it now.

379
00:22:21.286 --> 00:22:23.227
Dream big, act big, and build big.

380
00:22:23.247 --> 00:22:24.828
I appreciate you.

381
00:22:25.388 --> 00:22:32.752
I'll include links where you can follow Ross Mike, as he's known on the internet, YouTube X, and all those places.

382
00:22:32.812 --> 00:22:34.072
Go and subscribe.

383
00:22:34.112 --> 00:22:34.953
Go and check him out.

384
00:22:35.553 --> 00:22:36.854
Thanks again for coming on.

385
00:22:36.914 --> 00:22:40.736
I think this is probably your, what is it, sixth, seventh, eighth time coming on?

386
00:22:40.816 --> 00:22:42.737
I'm a regular on this pod.

387
00:22:42.757 --> 00:22:44.238
And as always, I appreciate you, Greg.

388
00:22:44.278 --> 00:22:46.099
It really means a lot for you bringing me on.

389
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:48.820
And thank you, everybody, for always watching and showing love as well.

390
00:22:49.899 --> 00:22:50.385
See you later.

391
00:22:50.750 --> 00:22:51.236
Have a good one.
