[0:00] People are banking money with Muse, the free AI agent from Facebook. We're going to show it to you. Jeb is going to enable you to get more press about yourself and your company. We'll show you a visual. Someone just created a new type of online store. All that and the latest AI releases this week, coming Presented by Zapier, the AI automation company. The big news is everyone's talking about how Muse is making or saving them money. Singularity Research on Twitter actually collected 100 real stories about how people are saving money or making money with it. Here's an example of one. Someone uploaded their car insurance to Muse. It found

[0:34] identical coverage $3,500 a year cheaper. Then it brought the new policy and canceled the old one. Uh a guy had Muse audit six months of email receipts, found forgotten $100 a month subscription, and it just goes on and on. People found money owed to them by the government. People found cheaper medication. I think this is great. I don't think it's unique to Muse though. You could do this with just about any agent. The stuff that's unique to Muse is being able to sell on Facebook Marketplace or buy from Facebook Marketplace. But otherwise, here's what it look Here's what mine looks like. It's a simple

[1:06] chat. I think this is a really cool I mean, all these use cases, though especially the ones that you just showed around people, you know, finding money that they were owed or saving money or finding subscriptions that they didn't remember. I mean, that's really what AI agents are supposed to do for the everyday person, right? The everyday person isn't going to use AI to achieve these massive productivity gains that we're trying to get in our businesses. Now, eventually they will, but this I feel like this is kind of the gateway drug for the everyday person to start using AI. Like, "Hey, let's find you Let's have it find you cheaper car

[1:39] insurance." Or "Hey, let's have it, you know, cancel your subscriptions that you forgot about." I think that's a really good use case, and with Meta's distribution, I think this gets in the hands of more people than most agents and might be the one that takes off at the mainstream. If you are listening to me and you haven't tried it, just go to meta, excuse me, to muse.ai and just start chatting. They make it super easy to get

[1:57] started. Um this is me chatting with it through WhatsApp asking it questions. That's my preferred way of doing it. With Muse, the new thing that came out is voice. You can actually talk to it like you could with a human being. That's the new thing that was making it worthwhile. Here's the thing about uh Jev, it now no longer has a waitlist. People can sign up and you and I had looked at this. You

[2:17] actually showed this to me. What is this? What's he doing here? Yeah, so this this one is really cool. So this guy basically built a Mac app where you can talk to the app and then the computer it's basically using the computer based on what you say. So you can just dictate what you want the computer to do. So he says talk to the computer and say like open the notes app and create a note that that that says XYZ. And he's just talking to the computer and it's taking that action. So Jev makes that possible and makes it really quick and it makes it really

[2:47] cheap. So again, I I mean this is something I would love to have. I wish there was a GitHub repo I could like download this, but one of the cooler use cases and one of the more useful use cases I saw when it comes to Jev. Yeah, Jev I there's some controversy about whether you can call it an LLM or not, but essentially it is AI that you can build with and it's super cheap and

[3:06] what it's great at is making decisions. All right. Um Cluso is the next one. I think I think I want to play this video for you even though I know it's going to bother everybody, but listen to this and I'll explain why it's important. Choose any time in May, let's say. So now and it will show you whenever It's someone explaining how to use Airbnb and then you send it over to

[3:32] Cluso and here's what it does with it. Stunning. I feel like packing my bags already. Now, let's book a nearby stay. This one looks good. See how it's zooming in, zooming out, creating the voices. It's essentially um a tool that will make it very easy to create these kinds of screen recordings. I could see people doing it using it to create their own product demos, but also there's some products that people want to demo without being on screen and they're not as good at um explaining what a product is and now they can just use Cluso, create the video, put it on

[4:05] YouTube. I think this is a really interesting great product from uh a Y Combinator back company. I think this one's super interesting because if you've ever used something like Screen Studio for for demo videos, that's a great tool, but even then you've still got to be the one to record the video and you know, you've got to be the one to choose where it zooms and what not. So, this in my mind is like Screen Studio, but easier to use, but specific specifically for launch videos or at least that can be a really good

[4:31] use case. And it basically takes like a super rough and dirty version of even like doesn't have to be a launch video. It could be like your training video or like an SOP video and it makes it like polished and you know, ready to hand to the the person who's going to use it. Like this is a really cool product in my

[4:47] mind. What I love about what they did on their YouTube channel is they basically used it to explain uh software that we all understand. So, you can see how it explain something that you know and are familiar with and they've got a bunch of these on their YouTube channel. What is NewsJack and what is Elvis doing

[5:03] with it? Yeah, NewsJack is a really cool suite of agent skills that's fully open source. So, NewsJack like I said, I think it's like 12 or 14 different skills that you can hand to your agent. It's a free GitHub repo and these skills basically turn your agent into a PR team. So, it allows your agent to go out and research different publications, find journalists who are looking for subject matter experts in a particular topic and then it'll take your expertise and come up with an angle so that you can pitch those journalists on why they should

[5:34] interview you for that particular story. And what that gets you is that gets you press, it gets you back links, which is really important for SEO and just generally takes what would normally be a full-time PR team. You're you're like 8, 10, 15 grand a month and allows your agent to do that work for you. And what Elvis, the founder of News Jack, did is he essentially plugged Jev into News Jack and he used it to scrape if you scroll up you actually Yeah, so this is

[6:00] like what it looks like in action. Basically, Jev went out and looked through like 300 plus different stories, looked for different angles on behalf of 15 different brands. This is like 15 different people that would be using News Jack. And in something like 20-something seconds for less than a dollar, it did all that work, came up with angles, and that's something that would have cost probably hundreds of dollars, literally hundreds of dollars

[6:23] to have Claude, even Opus, do. And look at the speed, too. You can see on the left is Jev, on the right is Opus 5. [laughter] Yeah. It's amazing. We'll of course have a link to this to this GitHub repo so people can see it and use it. Next, Chat GPT just launched a new a new voice thing. Where is Here it is. This I think is the more interesting thing. I'll hit play on the video that they used in

[6:46] their launch. Look at my calendar and find me a half an hour tomorrow so I can mail some of these cookies to my grandson. I've added a post office trip at 10. All right, Ashley, we're ready. Chat GPT voice. All right, I'm going to pause it there. I love how they use old people. It's almost like if old people can do it, you can, too. Trust us. The new thing is that you can now use your email, calendar, Slack, etc. plugins with voice. And so techni- or what you're supposed to be able to do is you're supposed to be able to say reply

[7:17] to this email or find that email for me. I have not been able to to get this to work. I don't know why. But that's the thing. not have the latest You might have not had the latest version of the app. So, that's one thing they specify is like upgrade or update the app. Make sure that it's updated. But in my mind, this is a huge update because we were talking before we hit record, I love talking to Chat GPT voice. I think it's such a pleasant experience. And now that it had Now that you can use it inside chat GPT work, and it has plug-in access, it has

[7:46] connector access, it's going to make it a hundred times more useful. And to your point, I was going to make this comment before you did. Every one of their ads for a, you know, launch video like this for a new feature, they always use old people in the demo. Like this lady's clearly probably in her 70s. And it makes sense why, because again, they want to basically demo that, hey, the, you know, the probably the least tech-savvy among us can use this tool easily, which is going to make it more easily adopted by everyone else. So, it makes sense why they're doing that. That's just something I noticed from a marketing

[8:16] perspective. But, a great update to an already fantastic product. And you are absolutely right. There was an update that just came in, and now I updated while we're talking. So, that's what it is. I'm I'm so looking forward to driving and then replying to email, or even understanding what's in my email on the way into work. Okay, next, um you love creators and

[8:36] what they're building using AI tools. What did Matteo make? Yeah, so this guy spent a couple of days using uh I think he used Opus 5.5 and built a game called toptennisgame.com. And this guy says, you know, he's not a developer, he's not he's obviously doesn't run a game studio, but he built this super simple, basically like computer tennis game, where if you go to their website, you can play multiplayer, you can play in a tournament. Like, he vibe coded this in just a couple of days. And the website looks good, it looks professional. Like, again, we're not talking we're not talking about like a you know, an Activision quality game,

[9:12] but for a guy who doesn't know how to code, this is insane. So, I just love seeing demos like this. We see a lot of gaming demos on the timeline anytime a new model drops, because it's the most easily demoable thing, because it's very visual. But this is one that, again, I think looks good and looks professional. Next is Cider. You and I use AI differently. In my browser, I'm constantly bringing up that sidebar and asking questions. I ask Gemini questions. It's like my one use for Gemini. I asked um ChatGPT sidebar to just do stuff on a page when I'm done with it and I'm ready to give up and

[9:46] pass it on. And what this is is it adds that sidebar experience like this. I hate the little cartoon thing, but okay. It adds it to just about any app you have. And then you can start interacting with AI and the content of the site. The email example's a really good one. If you're one of the few people using Apple email, you can bring up the sidebar and start asking questions about what's in your inbox and start getting files and

[10:09] it's a it's an interesting experience. Um any thoughts on this one? Yeah, I mean kind of like we were saying uh before we hit record, I feel like this is definitely a habit thing where some people like yourself, you're in the habit of opening up Gemini inside the browser and asking it questions there about whatever's on the page. That's just not a habit that I built. So for me, this isn't a tool that I would necessarily find myself using, but for people who are in the habit of opening up that sidebar and asking AI questions about what's on the page, this just reduces the friction that that much more

[10:41] and you can it looks like you can choose your model. You can choose the the reasoning level. So again, cool, very cool tool when if if that's a use case you like and if you're someone like me, it's probably not a a good fit. All right. This is uh from Yohai. What did he

[10:58] create here? What's he doing? So he created a basically a it's a free GitHub repo for AI to essentially watch your camera, right? So he called What does he call it? Something webcam? Oh, camera bench, that's what he calls it. So essentially if you've got a webcam running, right? And you maybe you're just recording yourself for example, AI can be watching your face and watching your gestures and it in real time with very low latency can explain your expression, how many

[11:28] fingers you're holding up for example. What you're you know, and you Yeah, and you can give it like a custom You see where it says like custom yes no. So, for example, you could give it a filter that says like, "Is he smiling?" And the AI will tell you like yes or no, right? So, this is In my mind, we were kind of struggling to come up with like an actual use case, like where would this be useful? I think somebody can find one. Like, I'm thinking like security companies, right? Like an ADT who They've got, you know, they're monitoring your property, and technology like this could easily alert them to,

[11:59] you know, when somebody comes on the premises, for example, that's not supposed to be there. So, I think there are use cases. This to me was just like a really cool just technological feat in my mind. That's why I wanted to include it. Yeah, I I keep coming up with or trying to come up with ideas. I guess maybe I might use it to have my computer watch me, and if I'm frowning and upset all day, it might or let's say maybe 40 minutes, might say, "Andrew, take a walk." Kind of like my watch will tell me to stand up if I've been sitting for close to an hour. I I could see it also

[12:29] being some kind of control where I have a second camera, and if I hold fingers up, it takes action, but I don't have the creativity. Hopefully, somebody out there can do something with it and show it to us. Next is an innovative store that also was launched on X. We built a store you walk through instead of scroll. What does that even mean? And I could click

[12:46] over to it when you're ready. Yeah, so this guy built a It's literally like a digital mall where you've got an avatar that's a cat, and using your avatar, you can walk into different stores, but these are like real-life stores. So, inside the store, you see his avatar is trying on a jacket, and you can click through and actually physically purchase the jacket with real money. And then you see he's selling ad space at the storefront level. So, like,

[13:10] it's almost like the metaverse, right? Where It's kind of the concept of the metaverse is really what it looks like. But the the the kicker here is that he built this in like a day with Claude Opus 5.5. So, like these And this is like an in-depth world that he's built here that's kind of like digital commerce in one place. So, I just thought this was a

[13:28] really cool demo. I like this demo a lot more than the video game demos that we see. Speaking of Claude Opus 5.5, it is out. Um and you've collected, where is it? You collected a whole lot of different use cases. What are you noticing about Opus 5.5? It's Well, for one, for my use cases, it's a very good writer. I think it's the best writing model we've seen so far. It's also probably the best visual designer. So, and just the sentiment across the board, like from people on X and people I know that are using it, it just is the best feeling model we've we've had in a long time. So, I think

[14:06] people are just genuinely feeling like, "Oh, this is a step up in capability." Even from Fable, but definitely from Opus 5, which was notoriously underwhelming if you ask the average AI user. I've been noticing a lot of people using it for animations like what you see on the screen. In fact, this one had gone viral, 1.5 million views. He basically made

[14:26] turn music into a music video. [music] And uh That is actually really cool. It is. It really shows the the ability that it has. I tend to think of Claude as the text company, text for code, text for writing. But um but it's now doing these types of animations, creative work is becoming a

[14:50] Claude skill. Um and we'll have a link to this and everything else we mentioned in the notes. And if you like these launches, there are a few others that we want you to see, and I've got a link to you right there.
