Every paragraph carries the moment it was spoken, so you can click any line to jump straight to that point in the video, search the whole thing for a word, or copy it out.

0:00Yes. I got a tool that will let you make any software for free and a tool that will let you copy the most viral videos and make your version of them. And how is this dude making $37,000 with what might be the stupidest idea ever? All that and so much more coming up. Presented by Zapier, the AI automation company. Everyone's always

0:19asking us to feature more free software. Well, this is infinite free software. What is REA? So, REA is a new GitHub repo that essentially lets you reverse engineer anything. That's what REA stands for and it's gone super viral. I think it was the number one trending repo of the day or of the week on GitHub. And it allows you to basically take any software product and we're going to show you some

0:42real examples and reverse engineer it. Turn it into your own tool that you own and that you can edit your own way. So, I think the video demo we have is pretty cool. Want to show that next? Yeah, this is from Eric Tech. He really likes WhisperFlow and copied it. is fully complete. Here, if I were to open the app, here is what it looks like. So, we have the exact clone of WhisperFlow right here in my By the way, exact exact clone right down to this annoying screen that always bothers me in WhisperFlow that shows what's there and almost feels like it's

1:14promoting the next new feature on it. But, it works really impressively, right? I don't know if I'm I don't know if I'm going to use this day-to-day, but I do really feel this is a scary move that there is no software that now is has a has a moat. I think it's the concept of it. I mean, people are using it to literally rebuild Photoshop and all the Adobe suite of tools from the ground up. I mean, tools that historically have had a huge moat and created billions of dollars in revenue. Now, people can just create it in the course of, you know, a couple of

1:49hours. So, yeah, I think it's a huge technological advancement if nothing else. All right. Next is this tweet that I completely passed on. I didn't want us to talk about this from uh Grok Bot and then you told me what you did with it. What is this? Yeah, so Grok Bot is opening up their connector marketplace. So, if you've got a product or a service, you can turn that into a connector that can be discovered by people's Grok Bot. So, we're getting to a point where if you're running into a problem or if there's something you want your bot to be able to do and it doesn't have that

2:22capability, your bot can then go and search the connector marketplace and say, "Oh, look, I found this connector from XYZ company that solves the problem that we have." And that's how you can get your product or service discoverable by all the many millions of Grok Bots that are already on the market and the many millions that are more to come. So, it's just a way to get your product or service in front of more people by getting them in front of bots um by creating just like a little connector that gives people like a taste of your

2:49product. I feel like Grok Bot is aiming to become the everything app. X was supposed to be that. Grok Bot is becoming that. Basically, I'm using Grok Bot to interact with all the other apps that I would have used otherwise. And now this connector marketplace makes it easier. I didn't think it was useful until yesterday. I wanted to connect my Beehiiv email email system into Grok Bot and it didn't have a connector and I said, "Okay, no problem. It'll do it itself." But then it sent me hunting for the API key and then adding it in and and not telling it what the API key was

3:21because then that would be a private privacy issue. So, it became a big deal if they had a plugin it would be easier. Again, I still would have passed on this except you told me what you were doing with this um and you're basically submitting your own plugin into this and I thought that's a really interesting opportunity that you've discovered for all of us to start creating plugins. Can

3:39you talk about any of that? Yeah, so my business partner who's my technical co-founder, we've built a plugin for people who are interested in running AI assessments, which is our business model. So, this plugin will allow somebody to essentially download the plugin to their Grok bot or their Claude or chat GPT um app and [snorts] drop in a transcript and then that plugin will run the full AI assessment workflow for them. So, that's something that we'll have submitted to the marketplace here within the next week or two and we're we're really excited about that cuz it takes the highest friction part of the assessment process and

4:15pretty much automates it with like one file upload. So, it's going to be super easy. I like that. I was thinking only software should be submitted in, but I like that you're basically taking processes that you have and basically making them into software that becomes plugins. All right, next. Alex Finn, he created this marketplace showing what

4:34people can do with agents like Grok bot. Um it's called agent use cases. Here's what it looks like. And he then posted how much money he's making with this and so this is like an example of how much revenue is is out there. It's not that much, about a thousand dollars off of this idea, but also that he's got an autonomous agent essentially running this thing. I don't know how much [snorts] I believe about the autonomy of it, but I do believe that the agent can run this simple marketplace. The question I have for you is I see a lot of these types of marketplaces. Does it make sense to even

5:09create them? What they essentially do is they say, "Everyone's talking about skills, I'll create a skills marketplace. I'll put all the skills out on this marketplace." And then the the model is always "And I'll charge uh advertisers to be featured in here." But is this really a business? What do you think? Yeah, so I like this idea. I think it's super smart of him to do this because he's not what he's all he's doing is just kind of showcasing what's possible with the use cases. He's not including like an actual skill that runs it for you. So, it's more of like an

5:37inspirational thing than anything else. It's like, "Hey, if you know AI's powerful, but you don't know like specifically what you could use it for, then here are some ideas, right?" So, what I and I uh quote tweeted that about a week ago and gave my suggestion for like I think this is really smart and I think the person that goes even a level deeper in terms of the niche and makes a So, his is agent use cases.ai. Well, I think whoever makes like Grok Bot use cases.ai is going to do really well, too, because you it's the same concept. It's just use cases that are very specific to Grok

6:11Bot. Same thing like if somebody makes one for Muse or for dot or whatever. Again, I the business model is to sell ads and and that comes down to how much traffic and how many visitors you can get on the site. He's obviously capable of sending a lot of traffic with his audience. So, maybe for like 95% of people it's not a good model, but for somebody like Alex who has a big

6:30audience, I think it makes sense. Okay. All right. Next, uh Grok just came out with a new voice model, Grok voice 3.0. It sounds really good. It's really fast. It can't be used natively. It can only be plugged into software, which these days is not a big deal. You give it to your agent you say go use it. It's inexpensive, but I don't know how much

6:53of a big deal it is. Here's a use case. Turn it into your your receptionist. But Yeah, and my my take on this is that it just the voice models are just continuing to get better and better. So, I think right now Open AI probably has the best voice model on the market. I haven't seen the benchmarks between this new Grok model versus like a ChatGPT

7:13voice. But at the end of the day, the voice models are getting better by the month. Everybody's coming out with new models just like they are new LLMs. And it's just something where I think here in the very near future, within the next like 3 to 5 years, if you call a business, you are going to get an AI receptionist. And if you don't, then that business just isn't operating correctly, right? It's going to be table stakes and so I think the quicker people catch on and start implementing this voice technology, the

7:39better. All right, I'm into it. I have definitely seen a lot of use cases both inbound and outbound that work. Um okay, next. Clone viral videos. If we say software is cooked, videos, what you and I are doing is cooked. I mean, basically, this is called HypedIt. And it will take a viral video and it'll make your version of it using code. It's

8:02just an incredible model. I I think it's interesting. I think more and more people should be getting into videos. Um What do you think? I agree. And that's something I was actually talking to my partner about today. We're we're going to start to make a push into Instagram and TikTok. I mean, I think there's a ton of opportunity there. I mean, not only to just, you know, copy and paste viral formats, but just to educate people on those platforms, too. There's a lot of misinformation, and I think the AI education level on those platforms is so much lower than that of X and even like LinkedIn. So, I think any tool like this

8:39that can help you get more distribution on those short-form channels is going to be well received. I'll say this, that we take these videos and we turn them into shorts. Not because I want to, but because Jeffrey on our team had just decided he's going to run with it. And I thought, nobody needs clips of this. What's the point? It's not going to work. Jeffrey's like, no, I'm going to clip it. He might even

9:02be clipping this into into a video. Somebody might be watching this. And he's getting good numbers with it. I mean, we're getting thousands of views on it. We end up getting more views on clips of these videos that you and I are doing than we get on the whole videos. Um and so, maybe there is more to creating these types of uh I don't know, almost copycat videos, copycat with a twist. All right, I like it. I think

9:24people should be checking this out. We'll have links to that and everything else below. Before I show the last one, I'll say, if you like this video and you like our take on it, there's a link below where you can subscribe to either of our channels, both of our channels, and hear more from us. What I like about your channel, by the way, is that you're so business-focused. It's not just here's the cool thing that's out, here's the cool thing that's out, here's how it helps businesses, and here's an exact example of how it's helped a real business, and it's often yours. So, people should be subscribing. All right,

9:51final one. This one is kind of a silly thing. I didn't know if I wanted to include it or not. What is this, and why should I just go shoot myself after seeing this? I shouldn't say that. Yeah, so this is This is just a variation on those sites that we saw pop up probably about a month ago now, where it's, you know, the whole idea behind the site It's almost like a pyramid scheme. It's like the more traffic we can send to the website, the more people are going to be willing to pay for their business to be at the top of the advertiser listings. And so, this is the

10:18whole Like if if I click here and I want to buy if if I want to buy this one pixel right here, I click it, I then here's my name, Andrew Warner, because I logged in using Replit, and then how I pay for this one pixel, $31. Or is it Is it 100 pixels for $31? Like, what? This is basically like the million-dollar homepage done again without anything new and creative about it, and he's making how much freaking money? He's making $37,000 in revenue

10:47already. He's got 122. I don't know. Here's the official launch. to me that this is still working. Like, we saw this blow up as a concept. This is probably a month and a half ago, if not even 2 months ago at this point. And But, what I think is interesting here is like this is a unique variation of it, because the ones that blew up a couple months ago were were just like it was a site where you got a list like essentially a listing, and you're just

11:11competing for that top listing spot. This is unique in the sense that like you can choose the actual like pixel size that your ad is going to take up on the site. So, like if somebody wanted to, they could literally, you know, buy the whole like, you know, I don't know how many pixels that would be, but buy an ad that covers everybody else's ad, and they'd pay a fortune for it, but

11:32like it's just unique in that sense. It's not necessarily something that's going to be viable in, you know, 6 months. I I just see this as being like a short-term cash grab that is cool today and this is not going to be getting traffic in 6 months. I I totally get something like pump.fun being on here, but he got victor.com in here. The The company I want to sponsor my videos. He got them on here. Here's And here's the other weird thing. This

11:58is the guy that I I interviewed him. Jonathan Wilkie. He basically just came up with this idea while he was cooking dinner, drinking wine, or something and he had this idea for a leaderboard where people can pay to show up on the leaderboard. This guy Thomas is basically saying, "I'm copying him. I'm actually quote tweeting him and here's my version of it. It's called vibewor.lol and then he just keeps updating. Good morning, it's been 24 hours. 24 hours later, he's got $553. Good morning, it's been 48 hours. 48 hours later, he's got

12:29$1,000. Good morning, it's been 4 days. $1,500 in revenue. Good morning, 5 days. $1,900 in revenue. Good morning, it's officially or good evening, friends. It's officially 5 days. I'm at $37,000. Dude." All right. I guess there are more business opportunities out there than I thought. All right, if you like this video and you want more, we've got another collection of launches that you need to see. It's right there and uh we'll both

12:55see you in there.
