Answers

Questions about this video

Why is it important to use a permanent email for Claude?

Claude ties your account permanently to the email you use at sign-up, and you cannot change it later. Using a permanent email ensures you don’t lose access to your AI’s learned memory and data.

How can I transfer my data from ChatGPT to Claude?

Claude has an import feature where you run a prompt in your old AI platform, copy the output, and paste it into Claude’s memory import. This helps you avoid starting from scratch.

What is the benefit of using voice input with Claude?

Using voice input or voice-to-text software allows you to quickly provide detailed personal and work-related information to Claude, speeding up the personalization process without tedious typing.

Speaker A
If you are happy doing the same boring, repetitive work every week for the rest of your career, well then click off right now because the next 30 minutes are for people who want out of that.
00:11
Speaker A
If you're not interested in working less, getting your time back, and following in the footsteps of Tony Stark and having your own personal version of Jarvis, well then you can click away now because this video probably isn't for you.
00:24
Speaker A
But if that does sound like something that you want, well then stick around because that is honestly where we are at right now with AI. Look, I'm actually going to admit something to you. I'm not the most technical guy in
00:34
Speaker A
the world and I'm usually not the first mover to things when they first come out. So last year I had to have a proper catch-up myself when it comes to Claude because I definitely wasn't one of the early adopters. But once I did, it
00:48
Speaker A
completely changed the way I worked day-to-day. And to be honest, the problem is that this thing doesn't come with an instruction manual. So most people are sitting using maybe 10% of what it can actually do, but still paying the full monthly subscription for
01:00
Speaker A
it. So in today's video, I'm going to give you 10 tips and these are the 10 that I think will take you from feeling like you're behind the curve when it comes to Claude all the way to being
01:11
Speaker A
someone who's actually well ahead of it because that is what these 10 things did for me. Now I've actually gone ahead and split them into three categories based on how easy they are to set up and use.
01:21
Speaker A
So that's going to be your beginner, intermediate, and advanced. And with all of that being said, let's get into tip number one, which is actually email choice. And this is going to seem like something so ridiculously simple but you would be surprised how many
01:33
Speaker A
people make this mistake. Because when you sign up to Claude, whatever email you use, you're stuck with it permanently. Unfortunately, Claude doesn't let you change the email that's tied to your account, at least not at the time of making this
01:44
Speaker A
video, and I have seen it happen to so many people and I actually feel really bad for them. Look, just like every other company in the world, at consulting.com, my business, we sometimes go our separate ways with people on our team. And my heart
01:55
Speaker A
absolutely breaks for them when I find out that they've used their company email for Claude because of course when they no longer work at the company they don't have access to it after we go our separate ways. And it
02:05
Speaker A
just kind of sucks because Claude is literally your right hand person. Someone who's working with you every single day. And as time goes on they're going to find out more about you, what you like, what you don't like,
02:16
Speaker A
how you want things done. And that's actually happening behind the scenes every single time that you use it.
02:21
Speaker A
You're basically training it and it gets more powerful as time goes on. So it would just be a real shame if you built up all of that and then lost it overnight because you just can't log in
02:30
Speaker A
anymore. And again, I know on paper this sounds like such a small thing. It's just an email address, but if you lose access to that email later down the line, well then everything you spent weeks, months, and sometimes even years
02:41
Speaker A
building just disappears and there's nothing that you can do about it. So please, if you're just starting out with Claude or you haven't made an account yet, just make sure to use an email that you know you're keeping for good. All
02:52
Speaker A
right, now that we got that simple tip out of the way, I just mentioned to you that Claude gets better the more it knows you, which brings us directly onto the next tip, doing your memory setup.
03:01
Speaker A
Just like most people starting their AI journey, I started off with ChatGPT and one of the biggest reasons that I didn't want to switch over to any other model is exactly what we spoke about. After working with ChatGPT for so long, it
03:13
Speaker A
essentially became an extension of myself, right? It thinks how you think, it understands your life, your business, your goals, pretty much everything, which made walking away from that kind of feel like starting from zero. So I kind of procrastinated. I put it off for
03:25
Speaker A
a long time. Okay, I just refused to move over to anything else. It was only when I found out that Claude actually has an inbuilt import feature that I finally made the switch. And maybe you already knew this, but if you don't,
03:36
Speaker A
it's actually pretty straightforward. So all you're going to do is head over to the settings menu and then under capabilities you're actually going to see that there's an import option to import memory from another AI. Claude actually then gives you a prompt that
03:48
Speaker A
you run in your old AI platform. You're going to copy what it gives you back and then you're actually going to paste it into Claude, and it pulls that straight into the memory. So, that way you're not starting from scratch again.
03:59
Speaker A
But, there's actually a small issue that I ran into, and you're probably going to run into it, too, when doing this. It almost always overindexes for work-related stuff, and doesn't really focus as much on the personal side of
04:10
Speaker A
things. So, what I did was I got Claude to interview me directly. Essentially, what you're going to do is you're just going to prompt it to ask you questions based on different areas of your life. And from there, all you
04:20
Speaker A
have to do is work through everything that it needs to know. It's going to ask you questions on your personal life, what you do for work, what your goals are. But, most importantly, it's going to ask you how you want to work with it.
04:30
Speaker A
So, doing this for the first time is a little tedious, and that's why I wanted to give you a quick warning here. Because, look, I'll be honest, Claude actually comes back with a lot of questions. And if you were just to sit there typing
04:41
Speaker A
everything out, it's going to be very, very time-consuming. And also, I guess a little bit of personal information about me, I hate typing. I don't know why, I'm just not a typer at all. So, instead of sitting there and typing your answers
04:52
Speaker A
for hours and hours and hours, I just like to use the voice function inside Claude, and I just ramble and give it everything it needs. Now, if you want to take it a little bit further, you can also use voice-to-text software
05:03
Speaker A
like WhisperFlow, and they're basically going to do the same thing, except slightly more accurate. But, look, either way, doing this interview is one of the best things that I've ever done with Claude. And whenever I'm having someone in my company on ramp onto
05:15
Speaker A
Claude, I get them to do the exact same thing. So, in the description below this video, I'll leave a link to the prompt, so that way you can just run this interview yourself. And that actually brings us onto tip number
05:24
Speaker A
three, which is understanding the different models. But, before we get into it, I just want to give you some good news. You might remember in the last video, I actually mentioned that I would be giving away a brand new
05:35
Speaker A
MacBook. Well, the winner is actually in the pinned comment below, along with instructions on how to actually claim it. And if that wasn't you, do not stress, because I'm doing the exact same thing again today. You see, I could sit
05:46
Speaker A
here and give you all of the tips and tricks in the world, but if you haven't got some machinery to work off of, well then it doesn't really matter, does it?
05:53
Speaker A
So, I want one of you to walk away from today's video with a brand new MacBook, as well as everything you're about to learn in the next 20 to 30 minutes. All you have to do is watch the rest of the
06:01
Speaker A
video and leave a comment down below telling me which one of these 10 tips you found the most useful and why. And just like last week, I'm going to pick a winner and leave it as a pinned
06:11
Speaker A
comment in next week's video. So, make sure you check that out and see if you won. Now that we know how to get Claude to understand us better, let
06:21
Speaker A
to understanding the different models. Look, if you have millions of dollars to spend on tokens, well then you can just ignore this section, but if you don't want to waste money, then I recommend listening up. Because just like any
06:30
Speaker A
other AI, using it can actually get very expensive. And I know this very intimately because at my company consultant.com, between internal team use and also licensing software for our clients, we are literally spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a month
06:44
Speaker A
on tokens. That is no word of exaggeration. A lot of our clients get access to a suite of AI tools that we either internally developed or we license. So, we have a very good understanding of what these things cost
06:55
Speaker A
day-to-day and how they fluctuate based on models. And as I said, it really depends on which model you're using.
07:00
Speaker A
Claude and pretty much every other AI has different models that you can choose from depending on the task. The higher tier the model, the deeper the model thinks and [music] the more complex the work it's doing for you actually is. But
07:11
Speaker A
the deeper it thinks and the more complex the task is, the more it's going to burn through tokens. So, we have to be very careful about which model we're actually using because sometimes we're spending five, sometimes even 10 times
07:22
Speaker A
more on things than you need to. Now look, I know 99% of you aren't spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a month on tokens like we do at our business, but you're going to have the exact same problem just on a smaller scale. For
07:32
Speaker A
you, it's going to mean hitting your usage limit quicker and then having to wait for it to reset. And look, I don't know about you, but for me personally, there's nothing more annoying than hitting a limit. Well, I guess more
07:41
Speaker A
annoying is paying for extra credits, but that's exactly what we are trying to avoid with the third tip I'm giving you.
07:46
Speaker A
So, let me give you a high-level of the different models and how they work.
07:50
Speaker A
Starting with the lowest model, which is Haiku. So, Haiku is exactly what you want for something like that interview from the last tip I gave you. This is where there's going to be loads of back and forth, but nothing that really needs
07:59
Speaker A
any deep thinking from Claude's side. Then, you've got Sonnet, and this should really be your daily driver. It's a decent step up from Haiku when you're looking into second-layer thinking and tasks where you need to start leaning into Claude's ability to actually dive a
08:13
Speaker A
little deeper and analyze different concepts and ideas. And then, a step above that, you've got Opus. And Opus is really where you get that like you get that feeling that you you actually have like your own Jarvis, okay? When you
08:23
Speaker A
experience it, it just has that like slightly deeper level of understanding, which means that this is the one you want to give the big stuff to, okay?
08:29
Speaker A
[music] Data analysis, complicated workflows, pretty much anything with a lot of layers to it. And it's with this model that you really start feeling it when it comes to hitting your usage limits quickly. So, whatever you're [music] using it for, just make sure
08:41
Speaker A
you're as thorough with your prompts as you can be. And then, right at the top, we've got Fable. Now, I'm not sure if you guys have been keeping up-to-date with what's been happening in the world, but there was this whole fiasco between
08:51
Speaker A
Anthropic and the US government not too long ago. I'm not going to get into all of it here, but if you want to, I'm sure you can ask Claude. But basically, the end result of it was that they had to
08:59
Speaker A
suspend access to it entirely, and it only got restored a few weeks ago. So, I haven't really had that much time to sit down and dive properly into it. But if Opus gives you a taste of what it's like
09:08
Speaker A
to have your own Jarvis in real life, then look, I can't imagine what this thing is going to be capable of. Now, the way I want you to think about all of this is like a team, right? Look, you
09:18
Speaker A
wouldn't take your most senior guy, the top person at the company, and have him sitting there answering generic emails all day. Quite frankly, that's a waste of his skill set, and it's a waste of your money. You give him the work that
09:29
Speaker A
no one else can handle, and everything else goes to the rest of the team. And that's exactly how you should be treating these [music] models. Keep the smaller stuff for Haiku and Sonnet, and then the bigger stuff for Opus and
09:39
Speaker A
Fable. And also, one important tip because I've had this issue a lot when I was first starting out. There's actually a feature inside of Claude called research mode. And this isn't a model per se, instead it's something you're
09:50
Speaker A
going to toggle on or off within the model itself. Basically, what it does is it goes out, it's going to scour the web, it's going to pull as many resources as humanly possible, and then it's going to build all of that into a
09:59
Speaker A
proper structured report [music] on whatever you asked it. Is it super useful? Yes. Does it also eat through your usage faster than almost anything else? Also, yes. So, if you are planning on using it just like Opus, be as
10:13
Speaker A
specific as possible and tell it exactly what you want covered. Otherwise, you're going to be burning through a big chunk of your usage limit on something that quite frankly you don't need for most tasks. All right, so at this point, you
10:23
Speaker A
know how to use Claude without burning through your usage. Now, I want you to know how to stop burning your time when working with Claude. And that's where tip four comes in, using skills. A skill is different from a memory. Memory is
10:35
Speaker A
Claude learning about you over time. A skill [music] is a fixed set of instructions for one specific job that you're going to build once, and it runs the same way every single time. Look, I'm all about efficiency because doing
10:46
Speaker A
monotonous work doesn't benefit anyone. If you're building a business and sitting there doing the same admin task every week isn't making you a single dollar. If you're working for a company, it's not making you a more valuable part
10:57
Speaker A
of the team either, right? No one has ever been promoted for formatting the same spreadsheet the same way for the ninth week in a row. Anything monotonous, anything that you are repeating over and over, that should be automated, full stop. So, what are some
11:11
Speaker A
of the things that you could turn into skills? Let's say you've got a weekly report that you write up for your manager. It is the same format every single time, the same structure, the same sections. Well, then, that's a
11:21
Speaker A
skill. Maybe you often post on LinkedIn and you follow the [music] same structure every time. Congratulations, that's a skill. Or, you take your meeting [music] notes and you turn them into action items every week. That's a skill. And to build these, it is super
11:34
Speaker A
straightforward. Once you've locked in the process for whatever it is that you're going to work on, you just tell Claude to go ahead and turn that into a skill. That's pretty much all there is to it. And honestly, if that's too much
11:42
Speaker A
effort for you, you can actually go ahead and grab other people's skills that they've already pre-built. I guess just like everything in life, there is a whole community of people making these and sharing them on sites like Skill MP.
11:54
Speaker A
There is literally thousands of them. Whether it's code reviewing skill, if you're doing the same sort of development task, or there's a literature review skill if you're in university. Look, the odds are is that there is someone out there who has
12:05
Speaker A
already created it for you. And to get it into your Claude, all you're going to do is download the file, you're going to head over to your settings, and then you're just going to upload it. And it's really when you start skill stacking for
12:14
Speaker A
all of just your annoying, monotonous, day-to-day stuff that you feel like you're closer to having your own personal Jarvis. Now, the last of our beginner tips pretty much goes against what everyone else says online. And that's tip number five, which is avoid
12:26
Speaker A
projects. Personally, I hate them. And for me, it really comes down to something we talked about earlier. You see, over time, the more you work with Claude, the better it gets. But at the same time, you also build up a serious
12:37
Speaker A
amount of chats. And at some point, it gets a little difficult to keep track of what you're doing. So, when I first started using Claude, I was like, okay, cool, simple. I'm just going to categorize them all into one project.
12:48
Speaker A
I'm going to put them all in their own neat little box. But then, I ran into something that Claude doesn't really make very clear from the start, which is that a project has its own separate memory. And whatever is in that project
13:00
Speaker A
is actually cut off and basically like sealed off from everything else. So, let's say you sit down in a normal chat and you nail down your brand identity, [music] your tone, your positioning, how you write, who you're speaking to. That's
13:11
Speaker A
the kind of thing that touches every single thing you do in Claude, right? But then, if you go and work inside of a project, you can't see any of that. It's like Claude has never met you. And by
13:20
Speaker A
the way, it works the other way, too. Whatever you build inside of one project actually doesn't carry over to another one, or to your general chats. It only ever searches within itself. So, you're either sitting there copying things
13:30
Speaker A
across yourself or you're re-explaining yourself each time. And that's not particularly efficient, is it? And look, if you want to keep everything work-related in one project and everything personal in a personal project, I mean, look, that's fine. I
13:42
Speaker A
get it. But I wouldn't go dividing things up any more than that. Because look, you actually might not realize that this has been going on and I just don't want you to make the same mistake that I did. I personally made the
13:51
Speaker A
mistake of thinking that a project is just this neat little folder to keep things tidy. But unfortunately, it's not. And look, if you've already started using projects, [music] please don't stress. You can actually toggle any chat in or out of a project whenever you want
14:03
Speaker A
and actually will just go straight back into your regular chats. So, with all of that being said, that is the beginner section done. Most of that, once you sit down and do it, is pretty simple. Now, we're going to step up a bit into the
14:14
Speaker A
intermediate tips. So, let's start off by connecting your apps to Claude. You see, there's a whole bunch of options in here [music] and I'll be honest, I don't use most of them. You're just going to have to go
14:23
Speaker A
through the list and see what makes sense for you. But if there are two that I would tell you to go and do right now, it's connecting your Gmail and your calendar. You're actually going to find them both under the connector setup
14:33
Speaker A
within your settings. And let me explain why I think this is important. I have zero doubts that every single person watching this, at some point in their career, will end up hiring a personal assistant to make their life easier. And
14:43
Speaker A
when you do get there, I can honestly say that it is by far one of the best ways to spend your money. But until that day comes, you're probably not going to want to spend 50, 100, even 200 grand a
14:52
Speaker A
year on a personal assistant. So, this is your first step in that direction. Because once you actually connect your Gmail, Claude can go through everything that's already sitting in there and start drafting your replies for you. So, instead of sitting there for an hour
15:05
Speaker A
every morning working through your inbox one by one, you could just have Claude front-load all of that for you as soon as you sit down and start your day. Oh, and by the way, it only pulls from your
15:16
Speaker A
inbox when you ask it to. It's not like sitting in the background just spying on your emails. Now, the only part that it doesn't do on its own is send the emails. It can only draft them for you,
15:26
Speaker A
which [music] in my opinion is definitely a great thing. AI has made big moves over the last few years, but it still gets things wrong sometimes.
15:33
Speaker A
So, I think it's important that you proofread every email [music] and then send it yourself. Maybe in a couple years this will be a different conversation, but for now that's the best way to do it. And then you've got
15:42
Speaker A
your calendar. And honestly, this one's super useful. But, just like a personal assistant, it needs to know exactly what you've got going on and when. Otherwise, it can't really plan around it properly.
15:51
Speaker A
So, if the only thing that's on there right now is a handful of work meetings, it's not going to get this right. Once you've gone ahead and filled in your calendar properly, Claude can take a look at your week and tell you exactly
16:01
Speaker A
where your gaps are. Let's say you need to fit in a work block or find a time that makes the most sense for you to go to the gym. Or let's say even just figure out like when makes the most
16:09
Speaker A
sense to take some time off and see your family. Just tell it and it'll find a good spot for it. And until you get to the point of having your own personal assistant, this really gets you 80% of
16:17
Speaker A
the way there for a fraction of the price. So, [music] that is how you get Claude working with your apps. But, everything we've covered up until this point has Claude sitting inside a chat window somewhere [music] waiting for you to come to it. But, what
16:29
Speaker A
happens when you want it to help with something that doesn't really work within a chat window? That is where tip number seven comes in, which is the Chrome extension. All you have to do is download it from the Chrome Store,
16:39
Speaker A
install it, and then sign in. And that's pretty much all there is to it. Now, once you've got this running, Claude can actually work inside whatever page you've got open in front of you. It can read the page, it can click things, it
16:49
Speaker A
can actually fill stuff in, move between tabs. And the way I want you to think about it is kind of like bringing on a new hire, because you are the senior guy here. You've got a list of things that
16:58
Speaker A
need done today, and a lot of them are pretty mundane and boring. They just need to get done, so you hand a couple of things off and you get on with the stuff that actually needs you. The new
17:07
Speaker A
hire will go off and do the mundane work. And then every now and then he's going to come back and check something with you before he commits, which is exactly what you would want from someone who's been newly hired. But, you are not
17:17
Speaker A
doing the task anymore. You are assigning it to someone else. While your head is down focused on the bigger tasks, Claude is in the background doing the grunt work for you. Let's say you're buying something and there's four
17:26
Speaker A
different sites selling the same thing. You don't want to sit there reading 300 reviews to work out which one's the best. So, it's going to go ahead and do that for you. Now, look, is this fully autonomous? No, of course not. You're
17:36
Speaker A
still involved. Anytime it's about to do something that changes something on the page, it stops and it asks you first.
17:42
Speaker A
Once again, for me, this is actually a good thing. I trust AI, but I don't trust it that much to work autonomously and like not get my approval. So, I also think it's important that if you're going to try this before you start a
17:51
Speaker A
session, just go ahead and close whatever you don't want it near. Let's say your banking stuff. Let's say personal stuff. Whatever else you would rather it not touch. And also, I think it's good for you to test it on
18:01
Speaker A
something low stakes first. So, that way you get comfortable with it, you get a feel for it, and then you can move on to more important tasks. All right, so that is the intermediate done. Now, let's move on to the last three. And these
18:12
Speaker A
ones might feel a little bit uncomfortable for you. You might feel a little bit out of your depth at first, but I promise you the payoff is much bigger than anything else we've covered so far. So, let's go ahead and start
18:21
Speaker A
with Co-work. Now, remember that new hire that we spoke about in the last tip, the one that you're handing off all the mundane stuff to, who keeps coming back to check every little [music] thing before they actually execute it? Well,
18:32
Speaker A
this same person has now been working with you for 6 months, okay? He knows how you work now. He's earned a bit of trust. So, there's no need to sort of stand over your shoulder anymore.
18:40
Speaker A
Instead, you're going to tell him what needs to be done. He comes back with how he's going to do it, and once you have given him the nod, he goes off and gets the whole thing done. That's essentially
18:48
Speaker A
what Co-work is, and unlike the Chrome extension, this works with your whole computer, not just Chrome. You're basically going to tell it which folders it's allowed into, and from there, it's going to read what's in there. It's actually going to edit things. It's
19:00
Speaker A
going to make new files, and pretty much do anything it needs to do to get the job done. So, look, let me show you a few examples. I can guarantee that I'm not the only one who has a downloads
19:08
Speaker A
folder that's an absolute show. I'm sure there's many of you that are in the same position as me. You've got screenshots from 2 years ago, PDFs you open one, six copies of the same photo, files that you called final final final
19:19
Speaker A
version three. Well, you can just point co-work at it and tell it to go through the entire thing and sort it out. And it will come back and tell you how it's planning to do that. And the second you
19:28
Speaker A
say sounds good, it will have it sorted in a couple of minutes. But look, this doesn't just apply for your folders.
19:33
Speaker A
Because the other thing that co-work does is actually schedule tasks. So, a few weeks back I actually put out a video where I talked about how the best way to get rich in your 20s is this concept of skill stacking. Now, pretty
19:43
Speaker A
much the exact same principle applies here. Only now you're stacking Claude's skill instead of your own. Because co-work can use pretty much everything we've covered up until this point. The memory, the skills, the connected apps, all of it. For example, I like to start
19:56
Speaker A
my day with the same three things. First, I want a summary of what I've done the previous day and where I left everything off. Second, I want to know what came into my inbox and have that categorized for me. And finally, I want
20:06
Speaker A
to know what my upcoming day's tasks actually looks like. So, that way by the time I'm sitting down with my coffee, all of that has already been done and waiting for me. And I didn't have to touch a thing. And remember what I said
20:16
Speaker A
earlier about how Claude can get really close to being your own personal Jarvis? Well, at this point, we are arguably there. Think about it. Jarvis wasn't sitting around waiting for Tony to come and just ask him a question. I mean,
20:28
Speaker A
sure he was there when it was needed, but when he wasn't, he was running the house and handling things for Tony before he was even awake. The point I'm trying to make here is that if you spend some time setting things up properly,
20:39
Speaker A
Claude can be working for you while you sleep. Now, there's also something in there called dispatch. And this helps me a lot because I go through phases where I'm outside the house more than I'm in it. So, basically what you're going to
20:50
Speaker A
do is you're going to pair your phone to your computer, you're going to scan a QR code, and that's pretty much it. From there, you can actually send co-work a task straight from your computer. Now, on the surface, I know that maybe this
21:01
Speaker A
might look a little gimmicky, but honestly, it's come in handy many times when I'm halfway to a meeting or let's say to dinner, and I remember there's something I have to do on my computer.
21:09
Speaker A
All right, look, so far we have given Claude your browser, then we gave you your computer and files. Now, we're actually going to allow it to build things from scratch, and that is tip number nine, using Claude code. Now, I
21:20
Speaker A
know that the name puts people off, and I get it. You hear code, and you assume [music] it's a developer thing that's got nothing to do with you. And I can tell you it's not. You describe what you
21:29
Speaker A
want in plain English, and then it goes and writes the software behind it, and then tests it. It can even fix things when something breaks. Setting it up really isn't that complicated. You just download Claude desktop, and if you're
21:41
Speaker A
already using Co-work, like we just mentioned, well, then you've already got the app on your computer. Either way, there's a code tab sitting right there.
21:47
Speaker A
You don't have to work with a terminal or a dev environment or any of the other stuff that I hear the developers on my team talking about that quite frankly I don't really understand that much. Now, if you are into that kind of thing, the
21:58
Speaker A
option is there for you to go that route, too, but quite frankly, you don't need to. So, let me give you a real-world example of what you can do here without a single bit of coding experience. So, our chief product
22:10
Speaker A
officer at consultant.com, he is a massive runner. He loves his marathons and all of the training stuff that goes into it. And basically, what he did was instead of using one of the existing running apps, he actually just went out
22:21
Speaker A
and built his own. It tracks his mileage and knows what he's training for, and it gives him workout plans based on where he is currently at. And because he built it himself, it does exactly what he needs it to do. He did not write a
22:33
Speaker A
single line of code, not one. [music] And it makes sense, right? This is the guy who runs the product side of the company, not the engineering side. It's cool because he did not have to go out and find an app that was close enough to
22:44
Speaker A
what he wanted, and then just live with the parts that annoyed him. He got the exact thing that he wanted, and it cost him nothing, minus his Claude subscription. And you can go out and do the exact [music] same thing, which I
22:55
Speaker A
think is pretty cool. Look, if you told me 5 years ago that someone with a no developer background could build a proper functioning app in less than a day, I would have called So, whether it's a hobby that you want to
23:06
Speaker A
track, a [music] side project that you're working on, or something that you have been doing manually in a spreadsheet for years [music] because there was never a tool for it, well, congratulations, there is no reason for that anymore. You can just
23:18
Speaker A
build it yourself. All right, so we just took the developer out of the equation.
23:22
Speaker A
Now, let's do the same thing with your designer. And that is tip number 10, use Claude design. Now, this is actually one of the more recent additions. I've played around with it a bit myself, and the people on my design team tell me
23:34
Speaker A
it's pretty good. And look, if they say that, especially technically cuz their jobs could be on the line, I trust [music] them completely. Now, just so there's no confusion here, when I say design, I'm talking about mock-ups, landing pages, websites, things with a
23:46
Speaker A
set structure and layout. I'm not talking about image generation because I'll be honest with you, for me [music] personally, I think Claude is probably one of the worst out there. If you want actual images, go and use something like
23:55
Speaker A
Higgsfield or Nano Banana, or quite frankly, even ChatGPT will do you better these days. But if it's a landing page or a mock-up that you are after, this thing is great. The thing is, when it builds something, it like actually
24:05
Speaker A
builds it. If you ask it to build a website, it's not just a picture of a website that it's going to return back.
24:10
Speaker A
[music] It's an actual website with working buttons, working clicks, the whole lot. And look, I remember what that was like back in the day when my team had to go out and actually build these things. It would take days,
24:20
Speaker A
sometimes even weeks. Today, Claude design can do that in just a few minutes. Now, this one falls into that camp where it really just depends on whether you were ever [music] going to use it. If you are, well, then it's
24:30
Speaker A
going to save you a lot of time. But if you're never going to build a landing page or a website in your life, well, then look, to be honest, this might feel like a little bit of a gimmick, and I
24:38
Speaker A
totally get that. But either way, it's already sat in your subscription, so at least I wanted to make you aware of it.
24:42
Speaker A
All right, there we go, all 10. Every tip that I've got sitting in your pocket right now. And look, if you even apply half of these, you will be miles ahead of where most people are sitting because they are still typing questions manually
24:55
Speaker A
into a chat window, and then just copying the answers that they get back out. You are now playing a different game at this point. And if you really think about it, that's exactly what Jarvis' purpose was. Tony Stark had
25:06
Speaker A
Jarvis so that way everything that was not important was handled for him and he could [music] really focus on what he enjoyed doing, inventing, building. And now, congratulations because you're in the same position. You can build your own Jarvis. And to be honest, where you
25:21
Speaker A
actually direct that free time is up to you. For some of you, you're going to use the extra free time to spend with your family. For others, you're going to spend that extra free time on a hobby that you haven't picked up in a while
25:31
Speaker A
because you were just too busy with the monotonous boring work. And then for a lot of you, it's going to free up time for you to actually start a side hustle.
25:37
Speaker A
And if that's you, you're thinking, "Okay, I have all this free time now because all of the boring monotonous tasks have now been handled with Claude." That's great and Claude is a really good personal assistant, as I said, but it's not really a money maker.
25:50
Speaker A
There are other specialized tools out there that actually help put money in your pocket directly. But to be honest, that's a topic for another day. Now, before I let you go, I just want to remind you of two things. That prompt
26:01
Speaker A
that I mentioned earlier, the one that actually gets Claude to understand everything you say from day one, I'm going to go ahead and leave that in the description. And secondly, if you want to win that MacBook, remember to leave a
26:10
Speaker A
comment and tell me which one of these 10 tips you found the most useful. I'm going to be reading through all of the comments and just like before, I will have the winner posted in the description of next week's video and I
26:20
Speaker A
will pin it in the comments, too. With all that being said, as always, I'm watching from afar and I'm rooting for you.
