Chapter 1: What innovative AI tool can help complete your to-do list?

0.25 - 17.357 Shaan Puri

All right, forget ChatGPT. That's old news. You're talking about ChatGPT. My mom knows ChatGPT. Today, we're playing a little game called Blow My Mind with AI. And me and Sam, we set each other a little challenge. I said, I'm going to bring some AI tools that I think are pretty cool. You do the same. Let's have a little show and tell.

0

17.858 - 20.622 Shaan Puri

Let's get smarter together about cool things you can do with AI.

20.973 - 35.008 Unknown

So the premise for the episode is, what are the AI tools that everybody should know about?

0

35.488 - 48.343 Shaan Puri

That it feels like you're on the bleeding edge of something or you're on to something that's going to be big in the future. And that's what I want to see today. Okay, so you've seen, okay, everybody talks about agents. Oh, agents, agents, love agents.

Chapter 2: How can AI analyze your YouTube channel performance?

48.664 - 69.702 Shaan Puri

Agents are all the rage. Is anybody using an agent? What are they using agents for? This is kind of, I got into a rage about agents and I was like, let me see if I can get one useful agent working. And I tried a bunch of different tools, but I want to show you a fun one. that this guy Garrett made. So Garrett is the founder of Pipe Dream, which is a very cool company. He's in Austin.

69.722 - 85.422 Shaan Puri

You might know him, actually. They're basically, these guys are building like underground delivery tunnels. Is this company working? Yeah. Well, I mean, it's a really hard company, but like they built this thing, like check this out. In Austin, they have this first thing called Goods, which is like an autonomous. It's kind of like

Chapter 3: What is Muse Art and how does it enhance creativity?

85.402 - 105.317 Shaan Puri

DoorDash or Instacart, but it's like the fastest grocery pickup in the world. So you order it and in two minutes, like there's a crate of things that have been picked that gets foomped to you and you go pick it up from your local like goods locker type of thing. That's insane. Okay, so check this out. So he, I guess as a side project, he built this thing called Do Anything.

0

105.297 - 115.853 Shaan Puri

And I want to give it a shout because, you know, a lot of people know about Claude and these other things. And I thought this was a pretty cool site. So if you go to doanything.com, you'll see it. But I'm going to show you what this can do. So check this out. I go to this thing. It says do anything.

Chapter 4: How does Fit Finder revolutionize personal shopping?

115.873 - 128.673 Shaan Puri

And basically the promise is just tell me what to do. I'll go do it. It's a to-do list that does itself. So I said, analyze my YouTube channel performance like you're a world-class content strategist. The channel is called My First Million on YouTube.

Chapter 5: What is the function of a Sales Call Agent in business?

128.693 - 144.163 Shaan Puri

It's a podcast. I couldn't even bother to give it the link. I was like, I don't know. See if you can figure this out. So it thinks about it. And then it's like, at first it asked me, it was like, hey, can you log in with YouTube? And I was like, no, I'm not going to do that right now. I don't know the password. I'm just going to say no to that. Tell me what you could do.

0

144.245 - 159.212 Shaan Puri

And so it says, okay, got it. And so it does the reflection. Now here's what it does. So here it gives you the State of the Union report. This is now like a couple minutes later. So it says, State of the Union, you've built a powerhouse with 869,000 subscribers and 300 million total views. That's a massive footprint in the business niche.

0

159.593 - 175.096 Shaan Puri

However, a world-class strategist looks past the vanity metrics to see the real story. And then it's like, your average videos get 20 to 45,000 views. For a channel with nearly 900,000 subscribers, that's a big lag. Where your core audience, only 3% to 5% are clicking on new uploads immediately.

0

175.657 - 183.507 Shaan Puri

And then it looked at what are winner episodes, why that title was good, what's working, what's not, strategic recommendations.

0

183.527 - 188.494 Unknown

That's a great title. Wait, scroll up. It says, how to make a million dollars so fast your accountant gets worried.

188.761 - 207.662 Shaan Puri

Gets nervous. Yeah, exactly. And I'm like, okay, that's already better than like, you know, most of the titles we come up with when we try. And it did it right away. And then it basically says, okay, here's what I think you should be doing, right? Double down on contrarian wisdom. So instead of just guest X tells their story, it's why everything you know about X topic is wrong.

208.302 - 209.404 Shaan Puri

Get your thumbnails right, whatever.

Chapter 6: How can AI tools drive significant business growth?

210.124 - 224.758 Shaan Puri

Get your shorts to lead to lungs. And then it was like, I can help more. And so then I said, okay. I said, create a one-month content plan designed to 10x our monthly views while staying on brand and in our niche of business junkies, money, wisdom, and cool business trends.

0

225.2 - 230.074 Unknown

Let's just make a comment here. You did this 19 minutes before we were supposed to record.

0

230.678 - 246.375 Shaan Puri

Yeah. Yes, I did. And look what it did. Okay, so then it starts doing it. And it's like, all right, here's a one-month outlier content plan. And it started to say, look, we're going to go all in on video essays because they're going to have a higher conversion rate and a higher AVD.

0

246.355 - 264.373 Shaan Puri

We're going to make our thumbnails feel like a business documentary rather than like two guys talking on a podcast, like a Zoom call. And for topic selection, we're going to look for things that are a big promise with low friction. You know, unsexy businesses, money traps to avoid, you know, a one-person million-dollar portfolio, how to do it.

0

264.393 - 283.985 Shaan Puri

And then it gave me this sheet that was like, here's your plan. So it's like, it starts giving me actual videos, how to build a one-person million-dollar portfolio in 2026. Then it's like brutal truth series. So why your nine to five is actually your biggest financial risk. The seven money traps that are keeping you poor. Future hype. The next NVIDIA. The death of SaaS.

284.065 - 303.908 Shaan Puri

What's going to replace SaaS? Inside the Brain of a Billionaire, How X Built a $100 Billion Empire, 17 Lessons from 1,000 Episodes of My First Million. And then it basically starts to give you those. Then it's like, would you like me to script these out? Which one of these do you like? Would you like me to come up with thumbnail ideas? And you just keep saying, yeah, yeah, go ahead. Keep going.

304.509 - 321.573 Shaan Puri

Yeah, have at it. Knock yourself out. You just do that. Like, isn't that... I mean, I just feel like the idea of having background workers that are going to be constantly working for you. And by the way, this is getting better and better. So have you seen ChatGPT's Pulse feature?

322.174 - 325.638 Unknown

Yeah, I pay for it. It's expensive, but it's pretty great.

326.159 - 339.795 Shaan Puri

But it's cool, right? It knows what you're already trying to do. And it's like, cool, every day I'll just proactively search for stuff and I'll write stuff to you about the things you care about. Like you don't have to prompt me. I'll just come up with prompts and I'll just serve it to you.

Chapter 7: What are the benefits of using AI for personalized content?

363.314 - 378.583 Shaan Puri

And it just knows, it's like, cool, if you give me your calendar, I know what meetings are coming up. I'll just create prep docs for you for every meeting that you have coming up. I haven't gotten this to work for me good enough yet, because it's like, he's, you know, he's for console with my good friends, and this is like an early, early, early prototype.

0

378.623 - 394.562 Shaan Puri

So, you know, fair warning, this is not like the most, you know, functional thing yet. But like, I'm playing with it because this one does it, this one has an even more interesting premise, which is basically... you don't need to ask me what to do. I should be able to figure out what to do based on what's going on.

0

395.223 - 413.822 Shaan Puri

And so, you know, in their case, it's like, cool, if a bunch of people on your team uploaded new code to GitHub, I will automatically go read it, summarize the changes, and just tell you about it tomorrow morning. You don't need to tell me, go look at GitHub. I know I'm connected to GitHub. If something changed, I'm going to tell you about it. So is this worth trying now?

0

414.583 - 435.898 Shaan Puri

Yeah, so for me, it's not that useful because I don't have a huge team on my core team. So we don't have a daily stand-up. We don't push code to GitHub. It's just like three of us, and we mostly just talk to each other. I already saw the messages. But if you have a 10-person, 20-person, 30-person team, this can be extremely useful, right? And you just set up different workflows of saying like,

0

435.878 - 444.666 Shaan Puri

hey, keep checking my dashboards and giving me summaries and tell me when anything pops off, right? You can just tell it to do stuff like that in a chat interface and it figures out how to do it. That's the idea behind something like this.

444.686 - 466.67 Unknown

With everything is, I mean, this can do your job for you. Like I'm already using ChatGPT. Like sometimes if I get in an argument with one of my employees or like if I'm like, what they did angers me, but I need to be productive about it and reply in a way that solves the problem. I'll upload the email and be like, my instinct is to write this angry thing, but obviously I know that's not right.

466.73 - 475.808 Unknown

Can you help me write this email in a way that gets me what I want? Right. And so it's already doing a lot of the talking anyway.

477.121 - 493.304 Shaan Puri

Hey, quick break, because if you're liking this episode about AI tools, I have something else you might be into. A while back, our friend Greg came on the pod and did a show and tell of his own. He walked through five tools that you can use to build a business that doesn't require a bunch of employees or a lot of capital. And they're not the obvious AI tools that everyone's talking about.

493.324 - 513.072 Shaan Puri

They're more of the underrated, under the radar tools that the sort of power nerds like us and Greg try to find and try. So if you're looking for a list of AI tools that you can check out and kick around for your business, you can get it right now. It's in the description below, totally free. Hope you enjoy that. And now back to this episode. Are you using WhisperFlow?

Chapter 8: How can AI streamline your business operations effectively?

679.143 - 694.682 Shaan Puri

And it'll like give me something that's 85, 90% there. And I didn't have to even have my phone out, didn't have to look down at my screen. I'm out in nature, just walking around. Like, it's a very different way of working that, you know, my dad, if he saw it, he'd be like, what are you, this is not work. What are you talking? What are you doing?

0

694.722 - 697.185 Shaan Puri

This doesn't even, I don't even understand what's happening right now.

0

697.685 - 710.218 Unknown

I think that's the difference between the winners and the losers. Basically, the people are going to use it and they're going to 10 or 100x their output. And the losers are going to be, this is too new. This is too fast. We should keep it old school.

0

710.333 - 724.791 Shaan Puri

Yeah, exactly. I wrote this blog post six months ago, a year ago, something like this. And I basically called it the K-shaped economy, which is like people are saying, oh, AI is going to take your job. And of course it will if you don't use it. It's like, yeah, computers, you know, take jobs too.

0

724.811 - 742.545 Shaan Puri

And I basically said like the K-shaped economy is that it's not that your whole job goes away, but a job is basically a bundle of tasks. Okay, so like even if you work at a grocery store, your job is a bundle of tasks. Maybe you're restocking shelves, maybe you're at the checkout thing, maybe you're bagging, maybe you're pushing carts, whatever you're doing, right? It's a bundle of tasks.

742.886 - 765.346 Shaan Puri

And so first you have to think about what is the bundle of tasks that is in my job? And then you have to say, how many of those can I get AI to do instead of me or to make me way better at doing than I'm currently doing it? And so I said, basically like 80% of those tasks will basically be replaced by AI. And then 20% of those tasks will become enhanced by AI.

765.486 - 775.073 Shaan Puri

So things that you'll be able to do much better. And so, you know, if you just take any of the things that we talked about just now, right? Like let's take the YouTube content strategist, right? That's a job.

775.313 - 795.876 Shaan Puri

Well, now if I can just say, hey, you should set up a little machine that is constantly scanning YouTube to find what other adjacent channels are doing, what's working, what are outlier videos, breaking those down into like, and then have a second thing that analyzes those and says, okay, that was an outlier. Why do I think that worked so well?

795.856 - 813.274 Shaan Puri

Then it takes that and it references it against the My First Million like brand corpus and says, what should you guys be doing? Like, how could you take this outlier video and make it your own? And like using that to then pitch us, you know, kind of like, here's what I think you guys should be doing. Now, all of a sudden, you're 10 times better at your job.
