Free: AI design tools, tokenmaxxing, & more top GitHub repos

0:00Want to help your AI create better designs? I've got three amazing GitHub repos for you. Want your agent to control your computer, Microsoft Word, Excel? I got repos that will do that and give it that kind [music] of superpower. Are you learning a lot on YouTube? I've got an agent that will scrape YouTube, learn for you, organize everything, and make it accessible to you. It is amazing. All that and a surprise guest coming up. Of course, we've got links to

0:20everything below. Let's get started. Presented by Zapier, the AI automation company. All right, Adam. We've got three repos for design skills, and then we're going to go into the top 10 repos of the week. And the number one here when it comes to design is something called Hallmark. And you and I have experienced this. You ask your Claude agent or Hermes or whatever it is, go create something for me, and it does, and it looks just like every other design that's out there. And so, what this is it's a way of changing your designs in a more creative way, and you can do things like you can take any

0:53website or any image, give it to it, and then you'll end up with one of these cards. Where is that? Um Here, this is a card. You end up with one of these DNA cards as they call it, which tells you how to recreate it. So, they did the same thing with Calendly. Or you can give it a design, and it will give you essentially a report card, an audit of what you can do to change. Or

1:11you can use this to create from scratch. What do you think of this one? Yeah, I mean, this is one of the most frustrating parts of of building is that most of these agents uh they just won't give you on its own a great, unique, interesting design. And you're like, "Yeah, it doesn't look great." And you can fiddle with it, but it's not really getting better. So, I think having some of this like other I'll use their words for it, too. This other DNA to like mix in. You know, we we did a little deep dive into this skill, and when you look in, there's a bunch of templates that

1:42are kind of built out. There's a bunch of components. It can build on top of these templates. It can also switch into this more custom mode and and bring all the components together in a in a new and unique way. I think there's something important to be said about trying to show yourself in a different way than the standard Claude like oh

2:01yeah that's a GPT 55 generated website. It's like I've seen him a thousand times I'll see him again or oh that's lovable. So I I like having these I I like to to use not just one of these even Andrew. I would install four or five of these and kind of switch between them to get a bunch of different designers

2:18perspectives basically. Um I've added these two types of cards to our collection here to help us understand it more and one of them is this card that shows us about the creator. This is Hassan. He's created multiple repos here that have done well including this one which I really like room GPT. Upload a photo of your room. It generates your dream room design with AI. All right that's the first one. The second one when it comes to design is called impeccable. Pretty similar. It's a design language that makes your AI harness better at design. The thing that I like about this the most is this right

2:48here. Um where you can annotate a site and say I like this I don't like that. Claude design added this but it took them a while to do it. This is a really nice touch that helps you uh interact with it in a in a I think a much more human way. Yeah you know when when you don't have all the words necessarily if you if you haven't thought through of uh I know I built the divs and the H1 and H2 and all the like technical words of how you lay out these web pages it

3:17can be hard to give the agent feedback. Mhm. So having a browser extension where you can circle something and add a comment right in your browser and make sure that that gets back to the agent and that's the skill that helped you build it. There's something about that like full loop that makes tools like this a lot easier to use. Especially if you're not as familiar with how it was built or if you just vibe coded it and you didn't build it yourself and you let the agent build it anyway. So I I I love the browser extension. I really want to

3:46test out this browser extension. I'm thinking of doing a deep dive on this one. If anyone knows the creator of it or if you're using this a lot I'd love to do a deep dive and just spend maybe 20 minutes just going over it. It really is incredible. Um and I want to understand it better. All right. Next, final one for design, it's called Archify. You know when you have something that you want to explain and you realize that an image is going to really explain it better than any words. And the problem that you have is

4:12how do I create an image that does it? What we have often seen is that flowcharts like this are the way to do it, but they're hard to put together. The idea behind Archify is that it will put this together for you. Turn your English into easier to understand um images and workflows. And I get it. I have some hesitation. I want

4:33to know what you think about this. Dude, dude, I was struggling with this yesterday. Like last night I was on the couch trying to build something out and I wanted a diagram to describe it. And Claude kept building it with like 12 steps in a horizontal order. So I had to zoom way in to see it. It's like, "No,

4:49like this should kind of condense. There's you know, a good a good chart here kind of enters at the top and has a couple different ways to move." And I'd say, "No, I want it to fill the space more." And then it'd make a vertical version. Like, "No, not horizontal, not vertical, somewhere at a It just could not understand the layout that I was going for and I ended up giving up. So I'm actually going to take this one today and go and try and rebuild that chart. And based on what we've read here and seen, I bet it'll make a much more dense, easier to understand, easier to

5:17follow chart with like basically no work because I've already done the work to think through the the organization. Now I just need to display it nicely. So I I think these little tools um I love having a a bunch of those just kind of saved as skills, saved as tools, so I can call them when I need them. You know, when uh Codex 5.6 came out, we looked at what the difference is between that and Fable were. And Dan Shipper, I remember putting this in in our video, showed how Fable does a better job of creating these types of flowcharts than Codex does. And I feel like there is

5:49some benefit to the model, but and I thought maybe this was a solved issue, but based on your experience and his experience with Codex, I guess it is not. Yeah, I was using Fable for this last night, so uh and it was it was a struggle. Okay, those are three what I call like buzz-worthy repos. They're actually not from the top 10, they're from 11 through 20, but I picked them out cuz I thought they were really important for us to look at. Now, let's look at the top number one of the week. It is AI job

6:13search. A laid-off uh geophysicist turned his own job hunt into an AI framework framework that got him hired for the very first time ever. We actually have that person. Matt, this is you. You built it. Hello. That's me. Is this true? Is this really what happened? You got laid off, you said, "I'm going to use AI to solve my

6:34problem." Yeah, so um I was impacted by layoffs mid-December last year. And at the time I was actually on parental leave. So, when the baby was sleeping, I was fiddling around with the cloud code myself. And well, combining the two things, I thought this was a great opportunity for me to to try to Well, I was also speaking with a career advisor at the

6:58time. And I thought like, "Okay, this is actually something that would that would work if you if you combine the things and the agentic workflows." So, yeah. And creating the resume is one thing, writing the cover letter, I demonstrated that before. It's impressive. It's the It's the application afterwards that really takes it to a next level. What happens after the creation of the letter and the

7:23uh and the resume? Well, well, the idea is that you you fill in your profile, you you point it at some some job posting and it evaluates Firstly, it evaluates your fit, right? To to that given description and it's it's quite honest. Sometimes I've also refused jobs based on that criteria and the scoring. And then after that it then goes and and tries to if if you proceed with the application it tries to highlight all the things that you have done and basically creating the best version of yourself for that given job and it looks at the cover letter tries to to find the different things that you

8:03have done that could be a great fit for the role. It looks at the firm that you're applying to do some research on on different news and stuff. And yeah, then it it sends it back to you after this draft of reviewer version where it really tries to to find all the things that you have done and I think the most important thing is that it's grounded in your profile, right? It's not about making up the the best or the perfect candidate. It's always grounded in in

8:31your own profile, so. How's it by the way? I made this tool to make it easy for me to highlight and I I want to use it. How does this scraping and searching work? Yeah, so I've tried to make it as universal as possible in in the main repository but I I did like um I can say I did adapt the the Danish version of it because I saw that other people had used different CLI tools with

8:58API calls to to the Danish job market. And there's been a lot of people that then embraced this repository and made their own version of the American market or the Vietnamese market or Brazilian market or whatever. So it's it's just a matter of of trying to find the ways where there are these open portals for

9:19for finding job applications. Yeah. By the way, I made that tool that I just showed you. I'm thinking I should put it on GitHub and make it public. It is on GitHub. That's how I get access to it on all the devices. You are someone who's created a few different things. Let me close out with that. What has it been like to put this out there and get the response from the world. Is it worth it when you're seeing like what, 13 stars,

9:40six stars? Well, [laughter] I think it's a um Well, I I I've never anticipated that any of these projects, not even the AI job search workflow would be um exploding the way that it done. I mean, back in mid-March or something, I wrote, "Oh my god, there is a 49 people that start this project and it's amazing." And it's not only about the stars, it's also about the forks because that's actually people using it. Um so, already at that point I I I was Yeah, I was very enthusiastic. So, I mean, the way that it has exploded now and it's probably also a lot of bots that have uh starred

10:18the project at least, but um yeah, I still like the the amount of response that I get, I think it's a true signal. Uh people thanking me for open-sourcing this. People that landed their jobs. So, I'm just I'm very overwhelmed at the moment with the Yeah, do people tell you when they when they get a job through this?

10:35yeah, they do. That's cool. Yeah. Oh, that is so exciting. All right, Mads, thanks so much for coming on here. I'm so excited about this and excited that you and I got to meet. Yeah. Thank you. We might want to do a deep dive into this. Maybe you and I can follow up afterwards. Folks, let me know if if you want to see more about this. Maybe we'll do a a demo together. And if you know

10:53another creator, please let them know. Mads, do people tell you that you were on here? Uh yes, there were some people that And actually, I didn't know that I was number one trending. I mean, I was I am employed now and yes, I I use my own workflow. Yeah. So, I was just at work. I was like, "Why are so many people connecting with me on LinkedIn?" And then I only Actually, I only realized when I was like in the weekend, there were people like, "Oh, you've been on this YouTube podcast." And oh, sorry, on on this YouTube video presented with the the GitHub repo. I was like, "Okay." And

11:25then I went back and saw that, "Okay, I was actually number one trending." So, that's that's how it went down. It's Yeah. [laughter] Oh, that's great. Yeah. All right, Mads, so much for coming on here. This is fantastic. Thank you. All right, cool. And we should start linking everyone's LinkedIn profile. Thank you. Yeah.

11:40All right, next. Bye. Bye. We're going to go on to the number two of the week. Not so much a Cinderella story here. This is Desktop Commander. The idea behind this is and I think everyone could relate to it. You ask Claude to do something. It says, "Great. Here, I'll give you actually an example for me." I like to find tweets that help me understand what people think about each one of these repos. I tell Claude, "Go do it." Claude comes back and says, "Well, actually I wasn't able to do this, but you can do it yourself. Here's the search." I'm like, "Freaking A, no. You go do it." The same

12:09thing for anything else, especially if it has to do with my computer. I want the screen to be dimmed. It tells me how to do No, you go do it. The idea behind this is this is the you go do it tool that tells Claude how to go and do things on your computer and through this

12:22MCP gives it the power to do it. Um what do you think of this one? It Andrew, can't Claude already do all those things if you just ask it to do those things? It can read PDFs. It can use the terminal. It can open and and save files. Like what is this doing that

12:38Claude or Codex can't do? I don't know. Can it? So, I haven't I thought that with Claude I can get it to open the files within the directory that I give it access to. I haven't told it to go beyond that directory. Mm, it can read and write anything. You can ask it, say, "Hey, in my downloads folder, you know, there's this. Go and check." And it'll find your downloads

12:57folder and start looking too. Okay, how about the thing where if I want to shut my lid, I still want the computer to keep operating, I can go and put the terminal command in. Can it do that? You know, I bet if you ask Claude to do that, it would it would have a way to do that. Maybe this is like a bunch of shortcuts because it might take Claude a

13:13minute to figure out how to do that. Like on Macs, there's this thing called Caffeineate, uh which is the idea that the computer is incapable of going to sleep, you know, while some job is running. And so, maybe this is like a a of shortcuts into tools like that. but I also guarantee Claude could figure out the caffeinate thing,

13:31uh you know, if if it hasn't already. All right. Um Um yeah, I'm not I'm not quite sure. Yeah, we went through this a lot before. I was super excited about this one until I talked with you, Adam, before we got started and I said, "Oh, actually What's I The models are plenty exciting

13:45enough. That's That's what I'm saying. It's like, "No, like, have you tried Codex computer use? Like, it can do all this cool wild stuff." Like, what what is this extra tool for, you know? Like, 8 months ago I would I would have been, you know, blown away, but now I I think the built-in tools are doing this. All right, fair point. It did just take

14:03off. It was on a live feed somewhere. Ooh. Whoa. There's a what's it called? A flood threat. You know, I'm supposed to go to Iceland today. I don't know how we're going to get out of town here if the weather keeps getting this terrible. All right. Seaplane, Andrew. Seaplane. [snorts] Yeah, look at this. I'm going to get all

14:20these flood warnings here. This one is C++ building blocks that Google runs in production, open now for anyone to use. It doesn't directly relate to me, right? I'm not using C++. What Yeah, Andrew, as a as a like a true nerd and C++ developer of old, I this warms my heart because this has nothing to do with AI. And it's blows me away that there's something in the top 10 on GitHub that has nothing to do with AI. I think universally for the last 3 years it's all been AI AI AI. And this is like this is a pretty old programming language. There's lots of versions of

14:57this language out there. They're all slightly differently capable of, you know, different access, different memory controls. This is like a pretty bare-bones deep language. This is not a web language. And this is a bunch of people saying, "Hey, we want it to work slightly differently." In, again, I'm sure very pedantic and nerdy ways that would be very fun to read about and mean nothing for AI. So, I just love that like this stuff isn't dead. Coding isn't dead. People are out there, you know, building and developing uh the the infrastructure that all this other stuff lives on top of. So, thank

15:30you to those people. All right. I'm glad to hear you say that. By the way, I've said this, we asked for Matt Van Horn on here, you all helped out and supported it. We got the interview up with him, and one of the things that got me really excited was how many people came on with the first comments and said, "Got him. This is great. We work together." I really appreciate all of you coming together to help me get Matt Van Horn. Um and now, the next thing that I'm going to put out a call for is somebody to test out some

15:57of the repos and do this with me. Essentially, what I'd like to do is what Adam and I did for Fluid Voice. We talked about Fluid Voice on the GitHub Show a few weeks back. We got excited about it. Adam installed it, talked about how good it was. He said, "You know what? I want to do at least a quick 1-minute video talking about how good this is." And I said, "You know, so many people like it, let's do a 10-minute video or whatever." We did it. Adam, the founder, has reached out to me so many times. He has commented on YouTube comments for it. He commented on Twitter

16:25comments that people commented cuz I posted the same video on Twitter. And people are thanking me for introducing them to it. I want to do the same thing for some of these other repos. What else can we can we get other people to try together with me or with you on video here and uh and then expose the world to

16:39them. That's the [snorts] idea. All right. If that's you, reach out to me hi@thenextnewthing.ai. You do know in a few hours I'm leaving for Iceland, but I will still have somebody here to reply to messages, and I want to work with more people here. All right. Speaking of the people who make this available to me is Zapier, actually the people who paid for the whole year of advertising because they believed that this thing that was

17:00nothing was going to be something. They're Zapier, and one of the things that I want to tell you about Zapier that I use is their MCP. I love that I can go to zapier.com/mcp. I can say, "Here's a collection of tools that I want to give my agent, and I want to give them this power but not that power." There's a thing that doesn't have an MCP, there's a thing that does,

17:15there's a thing that has a lot of power. I get it all, over 8,000 of them. And I get to pick what I give access to, and then I connect the agent to it. And I do this anytime there's a new agent that I want to play around with, so that I can give it the power that it needs, and restrict it so that I feel safe as I always want to be. All right, go to zapier.com/mcp and please start telling

17:35them because you know what, Adam? They're telling me that everyone's saying that Matthew Berman sent them over, the other creator who was on here. I've been talking with him, he's a really nice guy, and I appreciate it. I'd love for people to say, "Hey Zapier, thanks for taking a shot on Andrew and the team." And yeah, I checked you out because of them. All right, let's move

17:52on. Next is Office CLI. This lets your agent operate Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, but it's more than operate it. You and I both know that when you have any creative ability being put in the hands of AI, there's a little bit of sloppiness cuz it can't fully see it. And so, it puts text on top of other text, it puts a box on top of something else, a chart on top of some of another chart. This has eyes, and that's what makes it different, and that's what allows it to um that's what allows it to do a better job of controlling these tools. What do you

18:21think? Yeah, this the screenshot thing seems to be a trend lately. You really want to give the models the view of what you're seeing, not just the code, not just the the bits and bobs. And And that does really seem to be effective. I'm I do this naturally anyway. Take lots of screenshots and

18:38funnel them into Claude Code and Codex. Right. You know, what I The other piece though that I see here is is man, these older tools, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, they're hard to interact with. And they've always been hard to interact with. It's so difficult to programmatically create an Excel file. So, having this like layer between an agent and Excel, like Claude's going to figure it out, by the way. Claude will figure out how to edit your Excel file if you ask it to, but it's going to spend a lot of tokens to do that, which means a lot of time, and you know, you're using up your token

19:11budget for it. And so, having a tool like this that can make give you basically better results a lot faster, especially in PowerPoint. I've never seen it make a great PowerPoint for me. So, yeah, this these are cool. Again, this this fits in with the trend of you know, you should just have five or six of these tools. If if you're constantly in PowerPoint, you should have a couple PowerPoint tools that really supercharge

19:33your access to the application. All right. Next. Orca. Run five coding agents side by side then merge the one that got it right. This is something that I think is best looked at here to understand it. This is what it looks like. And this is some of what it does, some of the features. I love anything with a mobile companion. You introduced me to VS Code. I think their mobile companion's pretty terrible. Um I want I want something that has a more mobile

20:04access. Yeah. I love this design mode which you and I just talked about. What do you think of this one? It's a cool It's a It's a cool concept. It fits in with token maxing, which is this trend of can I spend 100% of my token budget from Codex and from Claude and, you know, from wherever else you're buying it. And I've got three accounts that I'm spending on all of them. This fits because part of the premise here is we'll put Codex on it and put Claude on it and maybe even for each of those try two different versions and create four fully functioning copies of the website

20:40or app or whatever it is that you want to use. And then you pick which one you like. That's pretty hard to manage if you're just in VS Code, if you're just in the terminal. So, it's really nice to have one place to drop all of these where you can maintain these different parallel conversations. Because this thing it says that each work tree gets its own emulator. What that means is it's actually going to run four copies of your app next to each other and it's going to code it four times. And man, I don't know and you you didn't have an interface for that, if you didn't have a

21:09tool like this, I don't know how you'd be able to think through all of that, manage it without the agents running into each other. Now, when I'm building things like that, toolbar that you just saw me use, is this something that I should be using? Yeah, it it's pretty good practice when you're building something like that, even if you're just talking to one agent about it. Say, build me four different design variants. Give me four divergent

21:34examples of what we could build here. Because what happens is the agent's not all that creative, and you may or may not know what you want. So, if you ask the agent to get creative, to produce divergent examples, now you can pick it's Oh, I love this part of option B, I love this part of option C. And that's really it's it's not about one of them being the best, it's about stimulating your creativity. You get to see which ones you like, and then you combine the

22:00best parts of each of these into one. So, that's that's how I'm building anything, and again, this tool is like the master's class probably in building in this method. But, just to start, try it in regular Claude. Use the word divergent and ask for ask for four mock-ups instead of one. Okay. All right.

22:19And what about this? We have seen people say that Codex 56 is better at writing, that Fable is better at creating a software with one shot. Is this what I might use if I wanted to work with both of them, for example, and assign Codex the writing of a website and all the copy, ask Fable to build the

22:38software, etc.? Yeah, this would work for that. Yes. And and that's exactly what we're doing, too. You know, we're writing all our copy in in one of the GPT models. The the new one we've we've been playing a lot with 56, and it's like it's better at design, but still far worse than Fable and others. So, yeah, it's it's kind of important to have your favorites, but Andrew, I I still love to pit them against each other. I love to have GPT look at the the Claude produced design and give feedback and you just get different ideas, right? You kind of get out of this one agent's bubble and

23:09and you get to to mix it up a little bit. So, you're not quite so formulaic. When you say we, you mean you all at Gateway X, you're creating your own software. In addition to backing entrepreneurs, you're building software for yourselves or software to eventually sell or what? Uh yes, both of those things. We build a lot of software for ourselves. We build meeting tools, we build transcript

23:29analyzers, we build sourcing tools. We're looking constantly for like people that could be great founders of businesses like this and uh you know, so we build all these tools. We're not just sitting here waiting for people to show up. Uh everything we do is is is AI native. Everything is AI first. Meaning you might build a software yourself internally and then find a founder who's better at taking it to market and Yeah, a lot of the the times that that's how it works, you know, instead of instead of a a business plan or something, no, here's a fully functional prototype. Come and look at this fully

24:02functional prototype and the right person looks at it and says, oh, I know who I'd sell that to or oh, I'd love that but for doctors instead. Yeah. Okay, let's go on to the next one. Number six for the week is Cube Sandbox. It boots a hardware isolated VM in under 60 milliseconds so agents can run

24:21untrusted code safely. I've asked you to explain it here to me so that I understand this one. I don't know it. This is another good kind of nerdy technical one. Uh AI can write code and a lot of us are writing code with with AI but the users of our applications are typically not writing code. You know, if you build an analytics platform, you're probably going to put up here's the charts that people can see. There's an AI agent but can that AI agent that you're letting

24:50your users access, can it write Python? Can it scrape the internet? Can it, you know, analyze whatever random data they send in? No, you don't let them do that because it's not safe to let someone run their own code, especially AI generated code on your server. How can you be sure that it won't access the database or steal other users data or use all of your bandwidth? So these these sandboxes are the way to make that work. You say, well, I'm not going to give you access to the full system. Your agent can write code, but it can only run code in within these like very particular walls. I'm

25:26only going to give you a little bit of RAM. Maybe I won't give you access to the internet. Definitely there's no access to the database or anything else. But if you upload your files and you want to analyze them, sure. Write Python and and analyze away. Okay. I wonder by the way, as I've been flipping through this, is this helpful for people that I'm showing all this different all these different pages with context? Let me know in the comments and of course those of you are reaching out to me directly, let me know that way, too. All right. Herder is back. It lets you run a herd of coding agents from one

25:57terminal. We've talked about this before. This is the second time in a row, I think, that it's hit the top 10 list of the week. I like this tweet. Last time I showed you this video of the setup and I thought it was very involved and technical. I like how fast Jill's uh said it in a tweet. I'm actually going to zoom in and get him to 1 and 1/2 minutes into

26:15this here.

26:23[snorts] I can't hear the audio, Andrew. I may be able to hear the audio? Okay. All right. I'll just uh I'll leave it here in the chat in the document, which of course is linked to below for people to see it. The The idea here is that it's built to enable you to work with multiple agents, know when they're done, know what project you've given

26:44them. What What do you think about this? Yeah, I mean, we're I love it is the the short answer. Uh we get a lot of this experience if you're using VS Code and the and the plugins there, the extensions that let you see these in multiple tabs, run multiple agents at one time. It's really hard to do that in the terminal. And honestly, the terminal is a much more

27:06powerful way to use these coding agents. They're the features that come out, they they're there first. And if you go and look, probably half the features almost never make it to the extension anyway. So, if you really want to be a deep power user, you're in the terminal working with this stuff. But oh, then it's really hard to run multiple at the same time. It's hard to do what we've been talking about where you're saying, "Oh, I want to see five versions. I want them to work in parallel. And I want to research this at the same time." Wow, that's like hard to manage. Now you've

27:34got a bunch of terminal windows, you can't keep track of them cuz they're all just white text on a black background. So, it's tools like this that bring some of that user interface from VS Code or Cursor or wherever else and bring them into the terminal, so that you get some of those same kind of comforts and the

27:52ability to switch back and forth. Next, Omni Root. We've talked about this one, too. One endpoint, 250 AI providers, automatic fallback. Here, what you're doing is you're coding with an agent, and we all have seen the experience where it'll say, "You've used 80% of your allotted usage for the 5-hour window. You've used 90% for the week," etc. And then boom, you're just done. And now you have to go and figure out, "What do I do next? How do I switch?" And even that little bit of pain is a distraction. What this will do is it will automatically switch you off from one to the next so that you can

28:25continue working. And these tools have become more and more popular. Um Do we have anything new to add on to this since last time? Maybe just a recommendation, which is we've already talked about some of these coding agents are better or worse at certain tasks, whether it's design or debugging or computer use. So, so, can't really just switch between them willy-nilly. Using a tool like this is very valuable. If you say, "I've got three Claude subscriptions that I need to be able to rotate through." But, I wouldn't in the middle of a project want to randomly switch between Claude and Codex without realizing it cuz I talk to

29:05them differently. They talk to me differently. And so, this is actually a way where you'd say, "Well, wait. I've got three of these subscriptions. I got three of these." And it brings all that control into one spot. But, still be aware of which model you're using at any given point so that you know how to talk to it and you know what kind of task to

29:21give it. All right. I wonder like how many people are using this type of setup to switch between multiple subscriptions. Yeah, honestly, I'm still doing it manually. I just when I run out, I log out and log into another one. Um You know what I'm seeing is someone will have like a spouse or an employee who really is using ChatGPT just to chat and they have the subscription. They can do things like code with it. They can do things like use an agent with it, but they're not. And so, they just give the API access or they give they give access to it and the person who's one of these

29:57token maxers gets to use it. Mhm. Makes sense. All right. Next. Uh Codex plugin CC. This is something that basically OpenAI has recognized that people are using Claude code, of course, to develop. They don't want to switch away, but they might want some of the OpenAI models more within reach. And so, they're basically building Codex into uh

30:20into Claude code. What do you think? Yeah, this is awesome. Uh if if you're not working in this way, you should. Download download these skills here. Uh you should be cross-pollinating ideas from both of these and getting the best out of both models. So, you wouldn't say, "I I build with Fable because Fable's the best." No, Fable's really good at certain things and GPT-56 is

30:45going to be even better at other things. And so, every project should work with more than one. But, it's hard. I mean, this is a theme this week. It's hard to manage all these agents working together, sometimes working in parallel, sometimes working on the same file. And having the skill means that now you you can still just talk to Claude Code and it will call out to Codex for the tasks

31:10that you've asked it to call out for. And and OpenAI has done a good job in this skill definitions here to tell it when that's a good idea. Here's the things we're good at. Here's how you should use me. And so, now you get to use both models, but you don't have to figure out these like parallel tools

31:26that we've been talking about. All right. Final one. Claude video, we looked at this last week. Again, it's coming in. This is a phenomenal project. What this does is it allows Claude or whatever agent you're using More and more, by the way, we're using Claude to just to define the whole category like a Kleenex. And I know that it's just not right. But, I I also feel weird saying things like your agent or Claude and Codex and all these other models. Anyway, what it does is it basically allows them to see and listen to video. And as a result, you can both edit video through this type of thing,

32:04but more importantly, you can learn from video. I've seen people use it to learn cuz they're doing research projects. People use it to save it just because they want everything that they've watched in videos to be searchable so that they could say, "You know what? I know I saw someone do a thing about this. Where was it?" Well, you come back into your agent, you say, "Go find me where where I I studied that." And you get to part of the video and you get the thing that you learned. I I see that happen to me all the time. Um so, we've got the videos for it here. Anything new

32:30to add on this one? We we've got a course that we used to teach. Uh it was Bootstrap Giants. There was a sales accelerator, a bunch of people went through this and it was a great course. It's all recorded. We've tried to repurpose the content a lot of times and we've struggled because we've got the resources, we've got the transcripts, and we've got the videos, but the videos are 3 hours long. Like it's hard to work through. And so honestly, we've never done it. I I'm kind of feeling inspired right now to use this tool to go back and see if oh, some of the most interesting visual

33:04moments, what was the text happening at that time? And also, some of the most interesting moments in the transcript, what was happening in the video? I think we might finally be able to mine those for some interesting ways to recut that same content. Uh, so I'm I've I've got a little inspiration for that. I want to do it. Uh, cuz it's honestly, it would just not it would just not be possible

33:25without something like this. Yeah, I'm finding that a lot of video editors now that work with agents are basically looking at the transcripts like Descript does and it's good, but only for talking head videos. Yeah. of what you're doing really is on the screen, you know? That's right. Like I I don't just want to know how a thing works. I want to know the moment where they showed it work on the screen and that's the part that I want to watch

33:47for example. And even like, oh, that was his face, he showed excitement there. You don't see excitement in a transcript. You know, the transcript of this moment isn't going to say Adam was excited and he put his arms up. Yeah, right, exactly. Oh, it's going to be so obvious on my face and with my body and and so yeah, I I think there's there's like real potential uh,

34:07in this. I'm I'm excited to try it. All right, that's the top 10 Mads. Are you still watching us live? Can I bring you back on camera? Yes, he said yes, let's bring him back on. Can you still hear me? Yeah, I thought you were going to drop out. I'm excited that you watched the whole thing. So now that you've seen the

34:22whole thing, what do you think of this? Uh, especially the last one, I think I'm going to go with that one. Uh, that's for sure. There you go. What are you going [laughter] to use it for? Um, I don't know yet, but I I will I will definitely use it. I think um because well, I can just relate to it in in uh other personal projects where I've uh used these um YouTube transcription uh Python workflows and stuff like that to, for example, build up knowledge databases and stuff like that. Then it would be great also to to have the video

34:56established for that. So, yeah. You know what? I use an app called Wide Frame that Gateway X introduced me to, Adam's uh company, and it is amazing. I will give it all the video that I shot on my action camera, and I'll say, "What's the story I could tell with this?" And it's amazing where it says, "There was a lot of laughter in this moment." Or there was excitement and sliding in that moment. I think this would work. And then I said, "But I need drama." And it goes, "Okay, I found some clips where people fell." And so, that kind of interaction [clears throat] is really helpful. Now, this only works for

35:27something that's on my desktop, which is what I like about Wide Frame, but it will not scrape YouTube. It will not go to Loom videos. I forget what we were using, Adam, for that. And Wide Frame is not cheap, Andrew. I I don't remember how much it it cost, but it is it's a it's a real it's a professional tool. It is professional tool for professionals. And so, that's I mean, this is actually a great way to kind of sell this one then, too. Hey, you can do the thing that the professionals are doing, but just in your regular Cloud subscription. You don't you don't have to pay for anything

35:55extra. That's awesome. [snorts] All right. Mads, reach out to me. I hope all of you will reach out to me. I don't care nearly as much about subscriptions, likes, and comments. So, I do feel good about this. Everyone now is kind of making fun of me in chat about it. Um I definitely do feel good about it. I definitely will be checking it instead of I don't know what um paying attention to what's going on in Iceland. Having said that, connecting with Mads, connecting with you all is way more exciting for me. So, if you're out

36:19there, find a way to connect with me. You've got my email address, hi@thenextnewthing.ai. Or um and it will be in the description. Find a way to connect with me. If you see us talking about something, let the creator know just like Matt. He didn't even know he was number one and he was number one. Let them [clears throat] know. Let them know that they were on here. And uh and I'm really excited about what we're all building here together. It's like this guy, he's created something for himself that ended up touching thousands of people. All this software is going to change people

36:47and all of us building it is exciting. Look at me. Look at how excited I am with this with this little thing and it's super freaking helpful. your little extension. I want to try it, too. All right. See you all in the chats. And uh actually, I've got another collection here that you really need to see. Click the link and I'll see you in

37:02there. Bye.
