Why everyone ditched ChatGPT

So, Claude CoWork has a lot of hype around it. I've seen a lot of YouTube titles saying it's going to change your life, these insane features. I see so many people online now being like, "Oh, I set up this agent that talks to this other agent. I have these 10 agents that are all communicating with each other. " And then everybody's just like, "Okay, so what are they doing? " And no one can really answer that. Well, these are the things I'm actually having Claude CoWork do. That's not just setting up a bunch of useless agents. I found some, you know, time-saving tools, but for the most part, it doesn't feel as revolutionary as when ChatGPT first came out and all the things that we were suddenly able to do. The main thing is that it can connect locally to your computer, so it can work within your computer. And there are some useful time-saving things that I've started doing with this, but honestly, the most powerful AI tool I found recently isn't even Claude CoWork, it's emergent. show you guys that, too. I'm going to show you how I'm actually using Claude CoWork without overhyping it. These are the actual uses. So, the first one is organizing folders within your computer. And a lot of people know this if you're familiar with Claude CoWork, but I found one other kind of cool hack within this that you might not have heard of. When you're using Claude CoWork, you give it access to a specific file on your computer that you grant that access to. So, I have a vlog channel, and every time I'm importing this footage, it's very confusing because I have many different days. I have iPhone footage, then I have footage from my other camera, and it will actually take me like 30 minutes to import all of this, sort through it, put it in different folders. I hate doing it. I feel like I'm just wasting my life. And Claude was able to just sort it into folders by date. So, what I do is I copy and paste the footage into a new folder that Claude has access to. So, it has access to the folder that we're going to organize, and I'm just going to tell it to organize them by date, but make a note if there's iPhone footage and include that in there. And then it's going to get to work doing that. And if you keep the folder open, you can watch the folders that it creates just appear. It's kind of crazy. And it actually uses some common sense. Like it noted there was one timestamp at 12:40 a. m. And yes, it's technically the next day, but it suggested that I move it to the same day, which I thought was a good idea. So, here's what it looks like when it's finished. We've got the folders exactly how I like them. And it gave me like a little summary of what it did. — Something that's a little harder that I haven't really heard anyone else talk about it being able to do, but I was just kind of messing around with it and found can also sort by the thumbnail of the video. So, I had all this video footage that I shot on the same day for different Instagram Reels. Some of it's like tennis footage, some of it's me like trying clothing on. I didn't know if this was going to work, but I told it to organize the videos into folders. So, I did four different folders: tennis, getting organized, getting clothes tailored, and grocery shopping. And I honestly thought it was going to mess it up. — And it did it actually perfectly. I couldn't believe it. I went in and I was like, "Wow. " It understood not just the me unloading groceries, for example, but the parking garage showing the whole foods, it knew to put it in that folder. Actually, everything that I would have picked myself. It's pretty crazy. It's actually pretty interesting to look through how it's categorizing each thumbnail. I think a lot of people don't know that it can do this. So, if you have a lot of video files and you don't want to organize it by date, but by what's happening in actual video, this is how you do it. When you have a lot of footage, you really do need to sort through it before you start editing or things are going to get confusing. And now you can just have Claude do it. Like that is amazing, actually. Another way I've been testing out using it is to build mobile apps and websites that are actually really nice looking and pretty advanced. This next one, I think is actually the most potentially life-changing and really kind of the craziest. And it is using Emergent AI with Claude. This will essentially build for you a mobile app, a website, or a web application. It creates AI agents that build the app for you, but you don't have to set up the agents and do all that confusing stuff. You also don't have to drag blocks around or hire a developer. It is the most user-friendly app builder I have ever used. So, I'm not just talking a basic landing page, it can make a whole app that actually works. So, I had an idea that I wanted to make into an app. I'll show you how I did it. Basically, it's an app that is a self-timer for your phone, but after it takes the first photo, it continues to take photos in 2-second intervals. You know, this has to program something within the camera of your phone. That seems, you know, a little more complicated than just your basic landing page. And sure enough, it was able to do it. It's running everything. It has all these different thought processes, but it is cool to look through and see what it did. So, it's using Claude under the hood plus other models through something they call a universal key, but I don't have to touch any API keys or billing pages. I just tell emergent what I want, and it sets up the AI agents necessary and connects everything. And it's not just a design concept, we can actually try the app out. So, here we have the test project app. Cool. Continue. It literally made this in like 10 minutes. Grant permission. We'll do a 5-second self-timer, and I'm just going to prop my phone up here, and we'll make sure that it actually takes more photos. All

right, let's pose. With this app, I didn't give emergent any design instruction yet. I just wanted to see if it would actually work. So, it looks pretty basic right now, but with the next app, I gave it some instruction, and it made a really nice design. So, I'll show you that, too. Cuz normally, you'd have to like go back and click the button again for the self-timer. So, this is cool cuz if you're taking a photo kind of far away, she's like, "What are we doing? " And we can see all the photos that we've captured. So, let's say I wanted a photo in my kitchen. Now, we can go 10-second timer. I'm always filming and taking photos by myself for thumbnails for videos, and it's cool that I just had an idea for a tool that would make my life easier, and I was actually able to make it. For a thumbnail, maybe. I'm just taking random photos. But, it's nice that I don't have to keep running back here to press it and then go back, you know, and wait and all of that. I also had it create a website where you can see all the tennis courts available in LA for booking. Cuz the city of LA website is super clunky. It's really hard to actually see the available courts. You have to go into each court, and click through, and scroll, and it's just not a good UI UX setup. So, I had it scrape the available court time data, and it made this cute little website. I went to Pinterest and grabbed a screenshot of something to give it some inspo to make it look kind of nice. But, yeah, it's super cool. This shows the available court times. And this took me just 10 minutes in Emergent starting from a basic prompt with no manual coding. It's way easier to see the available court times here because they're all in one place than the city's website where you have to go and search through. So, this is a for fun example, just something that I personally wanted created. Think about the possibilities with this. I thought this was cool. It even gives you an idea for potential improvement, like having people be able to put in their email to get notified when a court booking is available. If you've had an idea for a simple app or website, you can use Emergent to build it. It's really the easiest and most fun way to do it. And they're actually the sponsor of this video. Shout out to them for sponsoring. I'll put a link to it in the description. And the cool thing is, you can spin up your first app for free. And you only pay if you keep building. It's really fun to play around with, and people are using it to build all kinds of tools. Like this medical clinic was getting quotes for $50,000 to build their own portal, and they just made their own with Emergent. So, really, the possibilities are endless. So, if you're already typing ideas into ChatGPT, Emergent lets you use that same kind of prompt, but it actually gives you a working app or website. So, this might be the most applicable time-saving feature for everyone, and it is the Gmail connector that can read your emails and draft responses automatically. We'll talk about security in a little bit, but first I'll show you how it works. So, what you do is you go into Cloud Co-work, and you're just going to connect your Gmail. You can find this under settings and then connectors, and then just click on Gmail. And actually made like a test Gmail with some fake emails just to keep the privacy of people who have actually emailed me off of the internet. So, now you can go into Cloud Cowork, and it's very easy. You just tell it to read through your emails and draft responses to the ones that are the most important. Now, it's crazy when you go into Gmail, click on your drafts folder, and sure enough, you're going to have a bunch of email draft responses. And here's the thing, I know that within Gmail, Gemini can draft responses for you, but they're so formal and so It'll be like, "Dear so-and-so, sincerely. " And I would just never talk like that to some of the people that I'm emailing with, and they know that, and so it would just be like really obvious I'm using AI and kind of weird. Claude, I'll show you in a little bit, I've really taught it how I speak. And so, these drafts are actually going to be pretty good. And you can schedule this as a task that Claude does every morning. You can really do this for any task within Claude, as long as your computer is open, it'll be able to do this. So, I just created the task, draft responses. I also made some rules to customize how it responds to certain things. And this really just makes emails feel less overwhelming cuz you've kind of already gotten them started. Another feature of Claude that has really been a time-saver is the global instructions. Basically, you can tell it things that you don't ever want it to do. This is pretty much like training for Claude. You're never going to have to delete one of those stupid m-dashes again. So, let me show you an example of the differences can make. This is before adding any global instructions. I had it written email thanking ASICS for inviting me to their event, and this is what it said. "Dear ASICS team, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible opportunity to attend your brand event at Indian Wells. It was truly an honor to be included in such a remarkable experience. " I see an m-dash. Just that give away that AI wrote this. And just in general, it's just not my writing style. Doesn't sound like me. It sounds very generic. If I got this email, I would assume the person didn't write it. Now, this is after my global instructions. "Hey. " And then it tells me to insert the name because I would obviously customize it. Just want to thank you so much for having me at any moment. I had such a great time and loved getting to experience everything you all put together. The specific blank for me to add in was such a cool touch. Blah, blah. Thanks again. It's just way more my style. Like that is how I would actually write. And note how it put in space for me to customize it. Like this is an email I could work with. This is just an example. I did thank them and I didn't use AI to do it. So

I'll show you how I set up my global instructions. So, what you want to do is go into Co-work and then go into your global instructions here and click edit. So, now this is where I wrote basically like don't put in M dash. I actually asked my ChatGPT what am I always telling you to stop doing? And I copied and pasted that. So, it was pretty much like avoiding the robotic phrasing, filler words, being like overly formal. When it comes to content ideas, I told it to prioritize adding a hook because that's always something I'm kind of thinking about. Told it like don't ever send a two-factor authentication code to anyone. I don't know, just in case. Don't send money to anyone. Like who knows? I saw this in another YouTube video about Claude as well. Just put something in there about not deleting files cuz we don't want it deleting anything without asking. This is where I feel like you should really refine your writing style so that when it's drafting those emails in Gmail, it's not going to sound like a robot. It actually sounds like you. And when you're reading it, you're like this sounds like something I would say. I also told it to like tailor examples to LA, creator economy, and real estate. Just things that I think are relevant. I also gave it a few other like AI-isms to avoid. Like when it goes And honestly, that's the best part. See way too much of that on Instagram these days. It's this, not that. You know, just certain things that both Claude and ChatGPT kind of do. So, now I can go in and check this out. We'll tell it to make an Instagram caption for me. Something that honestly, I don't use AI for Instagram captions. I want it to be authentically what I'm thinking. Come up with an Instagram caption about how I adopted my dog Paris. She is a Pomeranian mix. So, let's see what it comes up with. It better not be a dash. Okay, these are kind of cute actually. Paris, my forever girl. Went to just look and came home with a whole Pomeranian mix. No regrets. Paris is running this household now. That's a little AI-y, but note how it didn't give me a single M-dash. That's because I put that in my global instructions and it listens. So, Claude co-worker self, it can save you some time. It is useful, but I do think people are just using it as clickbaits and it's like insane, life-changing, like on its own, I don't know about that. So, what do you guys honestly think? Are you using Claude co-work? Do you find it useful? Have you found cool uses for AI agents I just don't know about? Are you going to make a mobile app? If you are, I want to try it. So, comment below if you're going to do that. All right, that is going to be it for this video. If you made it this far, thank you for watching. Be sure to subscribe cuz it sounds like you probably enjoyed it if you waited this long. And I will see you guys in my next one. Bye.
