9/8/2025 - Nano Banana Hackathon: Building Apps Without Coding

Transcript

1. 0:00Oh, little doggy. Are you ready, champ? Are you ready? [Music] [Applause]
2. 0:14>> The boys were singing [Music] the summer that we met. You were 10 and 17. How could I forget?
3. 0:31I was shy to kiss you while the whole wide world could see. Shing said everything to me. [Music]
4. 0:47The way we danced was not a dance but more a long embrace. held on to each other. Have floated there in space. [Music]
5. 1:05>> I was shy to kiss you while the whole wide world could see. So shingling said everything to me. And all the poor old folks, they thought
6. 1:21we'd lost our minds. They could not make heads with tales of the young folks and funny rhymes. You and I knew all the words that we
7. 1:35always sang along to old jine. [Music]
8. 1:57Woohoo! [Music]
9. 2:22Woohoo! [Music]
10. 2:48Lord digital gods with the first comment coming in on YouTube. Whoop whoop. Good day good people. What's happening?
11. 2:59Four people on Tik Tok. I do have a feeling I have been somehow shitbanned from Tik Tok, but whatever. I don't know
12. 3:06what's going on, man. It's weird. It's weird. I tell you, it's weird. Uhuh. Uh, I had one post go um get a couple of views, a decent
13. 3:19amount of views, but like even my posts have been weird lately. Hello, David Simon. What's happening? [Music]
14. 3:49D de [Music]
15. 4:04la let la da. [Music] [Laughter] [Music] Um,
16. 4:19I have a I I uh things happen for me a little slowly sometimes, [Music]
17. 4:34but then when they happen, like things all of a sudden get really clear. [Music]
18. 5:22Um, hope everyone's doing well. Happy Monday. I don't know if it's going to be a meltdown Monday. I got a lot to talk about. Um,
19. 5:31I did a little vibe coding over the weekend. You know what's amazing is this AI stuff moves so fast.
20. 5:41It's Monday, right? It is Monday, right? Um [Music] I spent I don't know probably six hours off and on on Saturday vibe coding
21. 5:56an app for this uh for this Google and Kaggle contest. So, Google had a nano banana vibe coding hackathon this
22. 6:04weekend. And I know Brandon built something. I built something. If anyone else did, let me know if you built
23. 6:11anything for it. We'll go look at your things and we'll see if we can get us get us some votes. Get us some votes for our little action.
24. 6:20It is Monday. Okay, good. Thank you, Vicki. Second brain. Appreciate that. [Music] Um, so we got got that to talk about. I'm
25. 6:32really happy with the with the app that I built. Um, it's funny like vibe coding is interesting because there's the vibe
26. 6:39coding part and then there's the vibe interface part and I was hating the interface and then and then I stumbled
27. 6:47on something and I uploaded a screenshot and it kind of did something close and I kind of like it. Oh, Vicki built something but didn't
28. 6:56enter it. Bummer. Tik Tok question. Vibe coding. What is vibe coding? Okay, so in in um in any large language model, um
29. 7:14one of the things that they're really good at is writing code. So you can just go into chat GPT right now and you can
30. 7:20actually vibe code in chat GPT. You can just say make me a web app of a video game or of a of a uh a business
31. 7:29dashboard or uh take this research and bring it to life in some sort of interactive application and it will just
32. 7:37write code and build you that application and then um so you could you could do that within chat GPT you could
33. 7:43do that within claude and then there started to become specialized uh things like within GitHub there was a thing called co-pilot
34. 7:52which was part of Microsoft and now they call C-pilot everything but there was this specialized thing called copilot
35. 7:59and which is still there GitHub copilot is a is can write code um there's cursor uh which writes code there's replet
36. 8:07agent which writes code there's this thing called lovable.dev dev um and there all these kind of specialized
37. 8:14environments where you can go in and you don't have to know a lick of code and you can write applications and so it's
38. 8:22called vibe coding. Andre Karpathy coined the term I think it was about six months ago back in March of this year
39. 8:29and he basically said I'm vibe coding now and it basically means what what he meant by that is he can code. Andre
40. 8:37Karpathy can code. He's one of the one of the brightest engineers of our generation and um but he said he likes
41. 8:44vibe coding which is where you just go describe what you want and then it writes the code and then you just say no
42. 8:49I don't like it fix it make it better do this so vibe coding is just the act of like using your words you know sitting
43. 8:58there like a creative director like a producer and and letting the app do the coding and then you're just all you're doing is
44. 9:05effectively you know product directing product uh product engineering, not even product engineering, just product
45. 9:12directing. Now, if you're good at code, um, and you know things like database setup and authentication and setting up
46. 9:20web servers and hosting environments and security and things like that, it's going to be easier for you because all
47. 9:27of the vibe coding tools right now kind of rely on you having your [ __ ] together when it comes to things like,
48. 9:36oh, not exposing your API keys to the public and things like that. So, so there's a lot of disasters right now
49. 9:43with Vibe Coding with people that don't know what they're doing. But what's going to happen is over the next year,
50. 9:49probably within a year. You're going to start to have um sites like Lovable that are really like 100% designed for people
51. 10:00that don't know coding. And they're going to do all that back-end setup and management for you automatically, just
52. 10:06transparently in the background. and they'll be defaulted to good safe settings and you'll have a database and
53. 10:11you'll have authentication. You'll have you'll have all the things a real app has. Um and uh that's where that's
54. 10:17headed. It's actually really exciting. Yeah. So, you just talk and then you're coding. That's exactly right.
55. 10:25And I'll show you. In fact, I can go show you right now. We'll jump into this Kaggle contest. I'll show you the thing I built.
56. 10:39[Music] Let's see. Let me go change my tabs. Where am I? What am I sharing?
57. 10:54I guess I'm not sharing that. Hang on a sec. All right. There's that. All right. So, here's my uh here's my thing that I
58. 11:10built. Let's see. Well, I'll just I'll go show it to you live. Where is my mouse? There it is. So, this is my this is my entry. So, you
59. 11:21had to do a video. So, I made a a little video. Why is that not showing up? Oh, because did it spin up a new site?
60. 11:29Oh, I hate it when it does that. Hang on. All right. Okay, spun up a new tab. Okay, so here's here's the video
61. 11:38that I made and then here's some images. And so the the the uh thing that I built is called the time traveler selfie
62. 11:44selfie booth. Can I spin up a black bar? Producer producer Brandon's in a particularly spicy mood tonight. One
63. 11:52thing you should know about producer Brandon, one of the reasons he's a little bitter tonight, it's his birthday
64. 11:59and he's getting older. He's getting older. He was a young spritly fellow yesterday and today he shows up a little
65. 12:06late. I think he just gotten up from a a nap after a nice warm milk. You know, it's it's uh you know, the the aging it
66. 12:15comes quick. But anyway, happy birthday, Brandon. Um anyway, so so I built a thing. So this was a nano nano banana um contest.
67. 12:27So you had to use nano banana. So I did. So, I'm going to go over to the uh coding environment. So, if I go to aist studio.google.com
68. 12:38and then I look up if you go to the build tab and then I can look at my apps and then here is my app and I got to change my tab again
69. 12:50because that's what you got to do. All right. So, we're going to allow camera use. So, here's my app. So, I'll go full screen with it.
70. 13:00And what it is, I can upload a picture or I can just take a picture. So there's me with my new fancy. Did you notice my
71. 13:08new glowing LED light background? I got myself one of those LEG LED projectors with a gobo light so I could look like a fancy influencer.
72. 13:20And look, we can we can change the mood, too. Look, now that's all blue. Look at that. It's so fancy. All right. So, so,
73. 13:32um, let me see. Let me close this a little bit because I like the interface when it's a little tighter.
74. 13:38Oh, that didn't do what I wanted it to do at all. Did it? No. I don't like that at all. Hang on. Hold, please.
75. 13:47All right. So, what we'll do is we'll just zoom in over here. Um, all right. So, so I take a picture. So I look at the look at Yan camera
76. 13:59and then um so I can choose a character, a location, and a decade. And so I'm going to choose a an artist. I'll be a
77. 14:10pretentious artist. We'll do New York City. That's good. And then we'll do a pretentious artist in the 50s. And then
78. 14:17I can either take a color or a black and white selfie. So we'll do we'll do it's 50s. We we'll do it's Kodakchrome. We'll
79. 14:24do we'll do color. And there we go. And then over here, Nano Banana is making my selfie. My time machine selfie. My time
80. 14:36traveler selfie. And there I am. And then I can click on this and zoom in. That's actually pretty cute.
81. 14:46And if I put a little uh a little label on the bottom of it, like a little handwritten note. And I also put at the
82. 14:54very top of it, join the AI salon community. Salon.ai. And I and and that's it. I mean, it's I can um I can
83. 15:03share it. Let's see. So, if I click the share button, it pulls up my native sharing uh uh window, which you can't
84. 15:11see right there. I can download this picture, which I just downloaded it, or I can take another one, which basically just rerenders it.
85. 15:18The cool thing about this is like this is a fully built usable deployable application that I built in six hours
86. 15:28without touching a line of code. And if you want to go look at the code, you can. So back in the back end here are
87. 15:35all the components, right? So there's the camera component and icons and the image model and things like that. And
88. 15:43then there's some constants. And the constants are things like my pulld down menus. And then there's index.html, the thing
89. 15:51that displays it. And then there's JSON metadata. And then there's a Gemini services. So there's all this code. I
90. 15:59don't know what the [ __ ] it does. You That's vibe. Vibe coding is you're just kind of you're just kind of coding.
91. 16:06Uh archetypal architect. Didn't expect Kyle to start doing stuff this soon. Yeah, sorry about that. has to be purple if you're in tech. Oh,
92. 16:16my background. Yeah, I'm going to go back to I like the yellow one. Let's see. That's red. I think that's white. That's blue.
93. 16:27There we go. Um, the problem is, let me go show you something here. Let's go back to AI Studio and go to Nano Banana. And
94. 16:43right here, if you look at the cost, state-of-the-art image generation image per per
95. 16:59um per image, it's 30 cents. And so I built a thing that kind of encourages people to make like a whole
96. 17:08bunch of images. So So I'm not going to launch my app, but I did make a video of my app. So you know, you can you can watch the
97. 17:20video if you Oh, so here's where you go. So if you go to kaggle.com/competitions, so k aggle.com slashcompet competitions
98. 17:35slashbanana that will take you to the nanobanana um hackathon. So there's $400,000 in prizes and voting voting matters. So if you find time
99. 17:50traveler selfie booth I posted
100. 18:10there's no search function among writeups. If I view writeups it's just you have to just scroll. Oh that's
101. 18:17horrible. Okay. So, so that's bad. So, let's see where I posted this. I I deleted all my stuff off LinkedIn
102. 18:25because I posted it too early. It was all broken. Um, all right. So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to go if I go into the AI salon
103. 18:37and I scroll down to challenges and competitions, I might have put it in there. Yeah, please vote for my entry. Oh,
104. 18:45wait. Hang on. So, if you go to the AI salon right now, how many folks are in here? We got 34 folks in here and 18
105. 18:51over there. Um, or oh, we got 24 folks in here. Um, go to the AI salon and go to challenges and competitions under latest news.
106. 19:00And I'm the first one there. And then Brandon, you should put your app there as well. Please vote for Brandon's app. Um,
107. 19:10Brandon, you want to get up and demo your app and show people what you built? Dang, I'm late. What did I miss? Oh,
108. 19:16just there was a there was a hackathon this weekend for Nano Banana that Google put on and so Brandon and I both uh made entries. So,
109. 19:29>> yeah. So, there are um hang on, let me jump out. There are uh 400 uh no 816 entries is what I what I counted based
110. 19:39on the pageionation. Um, and so my link should be in the uh challenges and competitions right below yours. If not, um, I can definitely
111. 19:53>> No, you just have No, you don't. You just have uh you just have the competition itself. >> Gotcha. So mine then I posted
112. 20:08either in in look what I made. So if we head over to look what I made [Music] which is community.thesalon.ai
113. 20:22by the way if you're wondering where we are. >> Yeah. Scroll down. >> Happy birthday. Very nice. >> There it is. transforming emergency
114. 20:34response with nano banana. There you go. >> Y >> All right, cool. >> So I So just some background on this, I
115. 20:39realized because people were taking like pictures of [ __ ] Falls and augmenting fun facts and stuff about it. So I
116. 20:46realized two things. I realized one, it could see and interpret what it was seeing and two, it had the knowledge of
117. 20:53Gemini behind it. And so I thought, what is something that not a lot of people are going to do? And I thought, well,
118. 21:00let maybe we go with emergency response or first aid. >> You didn't want to do something obvious and stupid like a selfie generator.
119. 21:08>> I mean, the thought did cross my mind, but um so uh I started with working through this and and working with
120. 21:17iterating with Gemini on how to do this. And I had to really get creative with it because I kept running up against safety
121. 21:25guidelines. It's like I can't give you safety, you know, I can't that violates safety guidelines. Uh and so I had to
122. 21:33keep but it's a it's a it's a safety app. It's supposed to it needs to do that in order to be able to help people.
123. 21:39>> And so um spent some time with that and got it got it actually functional. And this is a hard lesson for anybody who's
124. 21:46been in the vibe coding space for a while. I got it functional and I got it working perfectly. Then I asked it to
125. 21:53change one line and it borked the entire project. It like erased 80% of the work I had done. And I was like and I and I
126. 22:03said, "Where where did you put all of the code?" And like I am so sorry. I I completely understand how that must be
127. 22:10terribly frustrating for you. Uh and then so I had to go back and try. >> Wait, you think you couldn't revert to
128. 22:16an earlier version? Uh, I I could, but I refreshed my browser and lost it all. Oh, yeah. That's an important thing. If
129. 22:24you're vibe coding in in the Gemini app builder thing, there's a save button. It does not autosave your project. This is
130. 22:34something that I learned that if you go out Yeah. or you refresh your browser like you did, it's gone. So, you have to
131. 22:41hit your save button. But rather than showing you, so so I went with the 11 Labs specialty track um which has less
132. 22:50competition. And so because I used 11 Labs to do the voice narration and >> rather than doing you what you did and
133. 22:58and just kind of getting up and talking about it on camera, I was like, "Well, wait a minute. I've got 11 labs and I've got screenshots,
134. 23:07so I just mashed that all together for my two-minute video." So, I think rather than having me do a live demo, what I'd
135. 23:14like you to do that the the I'm really happy with how the the >> video came together. So, if you just click on that link, you should be able
136. 23:23to play it. And >> oh, wait. >> Yeah, we need to bring the screen back up. But, uh, yeah. So, this was done. I
137. 23:33think I spent probably in total six hours on this from idea to submission, including making the video. >> Okay, cool.
138. 23:46>> During moments of crisis, quick and clear guidance can be the difference between a close call and a serious
139. 23:52emergency. Introducing Rescue Lens, an app that transforms your smartphone into an intelligent assistant powered by the
140. 23:59cuttingedge Gemini 2.5 flash multimodal model, Nano Banana. Let's see it in action. In Navigate mode, Rescue Lens
141. 24:08scans your surroundings. It uses the Gemini model's unique ability to analyze an image and a text prompt
142. 24:14simultaneously, identifying potential dangers. >> Caution, the street is flooded, hiding unknown dangers. The sidewalk on the
143. 24:23right appears safer, but proceed with extreme caution and watch your step. >> But what about when a danger has already
144. 24:30occurred? That's where first aid mode comes in. Simply point your camera at an injury. The Gemini model analyzes the
145. 24:37visual input and highlights the injury with a precise red circle. >> Here are some basic first aid steps.
146. 24:44One, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching the wound. Two, gently clean the wound with
147. 24:51mild soap and water to remove any dirt or debris. Three, apply. >> It's like having an expert by your side,
148. 24:59delivering immediate actionable advice. Finally, an SOS alert instantly triangulates your location, helping
149. 25:06rescuers find you quickly. And by leveraging 11 Labs library of voices, Rescue Lens talks to you in your
150. 25:13language of preference. By seamlessly integrating image analysis, visual cues, contextual text generation, and
151. 25:20texttospech translation, Rescue Lens makes complex, high stress situations easy to manage. It's more than an app.
152. 25:28It's an indispensable tool designed to provide peace of mind when you need it most. Rescue Lens, your smart guide in an emergency.
153. 25:38[Laughter] >> So >> nice. That's great. >> Not bad for six hours of work. I mean, but it really the thing that impresses
154. 25:45me most about it is that it actually works. Like how many times I've got my kids come up with a scraped knee or, you
155. 25:51know, I've got a a spider bite or something and I'm being guided by a banana help digital gods. Um, yeah. So,
156. 26:00like I said, I don't this is my my submission. Please vote. >> Beautiful to me. >> So, and did did uh did ChachiBt or
157. 26:09Gemini come up with Rescue Lands the name? >> Yep. Yeah, it did was 100% Gemini. I did everything in Gemini from the image generation to the
158. 26:18to the naming of it and you know the narration was 11 Labs. >> Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. All right, so there you have
159. 26:27it. Um, so go uh the uh if you go to the salon, find our things and go give us some up votes and we will uh I don't
160. 26:37know. We we will probably be ignored. I I would think that that uh that San Francisco people have an advantage or
161. 26:49maybe people who've done um you know really ambitious apps. I mean I mine mine was mine was a fairly obvious thing
162. 26:56although I thought the I thought the time traveler bit was pretty clever. The >> one thing that I will clarify that I
163. 27:03never got confirmation on this yet but Vicky I think has the winner of when you go to the site it looks like nobody's
164. 27:11voted on anything and I think they're hiding the number of votes. So when you click upvote it'll say one but if you
165. 27:18refresh it'll say zero. So, please just go up vote even though it looks like it's not registering. We have it on
166. 27:25suspicion that it's registering in the background. >> Yep. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. All
167. 27:35right. Let's see. Going to need an emergency crew for that scraped knee. They're They're picking on you. Your app
168. 27:42said that you could drive on the sidewalk, too. No one was very happy about that. So, everyone's picking on you. Um,
169. 27:51but let's It's a brilliant idea. Good luck. Nice. Now, I assume you're not launching yours either, correct, Brandon?
170. 27:59You just did you just uploaded your code to GitHub. >> Um, I published it. I uh I I pushed to production. I don't know what that
171. 28:07means, but I would be tickled pink if people used it. I mean, if it helped anybody, that's worth 30 cents of an image generation.
172. 28:13>> Yeah. Did you Did you generate it? Did you um deploy it or just >> Yeah, I deployed I deployed it. It's
173. 28:19It's You can use it out out in the wild. It's The link is in the Kaggle description where anybody can play with it.
174. 28:25>> That's cool. All right. Yeah. I just I didn't want to have a $350 bill for someone making a bunch of selfies from 1927.
175. 28:34>> Yeah. Well, I I just figured uh why not? The more the marrier. If it gets out of handle, Google will email me and let me
176. 28:41know. Um but I did want to clarify that it was not driving on the sidewalk. is assuming you're standing on the street
177. 28:47taking the picture. It's advising you to carefully walk onto the sidewalk. >> Oh, that's hilarious. All right, cool.
178. 28:58Groovy. Grievy, what's the link to vote? So, uh, Source Camp, if you go to the AI salon, go to, um, contests and competitions under news,
179. 29:11and my link is there and then go to look what I made and Brandon's link is there. And if anyone else made anything, uh,
180. 29:18let us know. Put, we'll we'll get you linked up in the salon and we'll get you some some votes over there. The other
181. 29:25thing that I want to talk about with the salon with the salon [Music] is tomorrow. Let me share my screen
182. 29:41[Music] tomorrow. Um Cindy [ __ ] and I are starting a four-week. So Cindy [ __ ] has the uh AI prototyping club
183. 29:55and um you know every couple of months or so she kicks off a 4-week prototyping club and so I'm co-hosting
184. 30:06it with her starting tomorrow and what you're going to actually prototype is a micro course. Um so this is available
185. 30:16for members of the AI salon mastermind. So, the Aelon Mastermind right now is 20 bucks a month. It gets you access to all
186. 30:24of the mastermind clubs. Um there's a a founder hangout on Friday. Um we've got all sorts of things planned for the
187. 30:30mastermind. It's a really good group of people in there. Um and if you want to do this prototyping course, it's a
188. 30:36really good reason to join. Also, the the 20 bucks a month is good. In 2026, the price of the mastermind's going up.
189. 30:42So, um you can get uh the mastermind at what for what I think is really really cheap. Um and uh yeah, so we're kicking
190. 30:51off the prototyping course uh starting tomorrow. I'm really excited about it. So, you will end up with basically an
191. 30:58online course that you can do whatever you want with. You can sell, you can share it with people in the salon, you
192. 31:03can share it with your family, um build it on whatever you want. So, come join us. Come hang out. All right. And how
193. 31:10you find that, you can find this in salon announcements and then we'll link you over to the uh to the mastermind.
194. 31:18And here's the event location Cindy [ __ ] bit in put put in in uh in the salon announcements. All right. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
195. 31:30beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Um so I had something I made I made a video on this today. Um,
196. 31:45and this is a I I did a this was a really fun a fun thing that I did. Oh, let me I got to share different so you can see this.
197. 32:01[Music] Okay, I think you can all see that, right? [Music] Oops.
198. 32:15[Music] Okay. So, so I'm working on this book. It was originally called Feed Your Prompt. Now it's called 10erson Team.
199. 32:24And the basic idea is if you feed your prompt like a producer, you transform AI from a tool into a 10-person team. So,
200. 32:34that's kind of this new idea that that I'm I'm exploring with my editor and and uh working on this book. And so, I'm I'm
201. 32:42getting my head around this idea. And so, yesterday I was flipping through Tik Tok and there was a Tony Robbins video
202. 32:48and it was it was really good. It was just a really well done video that was talking about um expectations versus appreciation. And
203. 32:58that basically if you want to if you want to get out of feeling crappy about yourself, get your attention off
204. 33:03yourself and put it on others and put it on how much you you know gratitude, you know, how much gratitude you have. Um,
205. 33:12but there was something about how it was structured that I just really liked. So I I hand transcribed it. I know I could
206. 33:19have done this with AI, but I hand transcribed it. It was only it's only about a minute long. And then I took I
207. 33:25took the transcript of of his little minutelong video and I put it into my my book project in chat GPT and I said, you
208. 33:36know, um, take this concept of AI not being a genius and acting like a producer and having this 10person team
209. 33:46and use this Tony Robbins, use the the framework of the Tony Robbins thing, but switch out expectations. and
210. 33:54appreciation and suffering for, you know, AI being crappy versus AI being good. Um, and and so it came up with
211. 34:04this, and this this was really interesting. I I had it I wrote that prompt. I had it do it with uh GPT5 instant, GPT5 mini, thinking, main
212. 34:16thinking, and then I did 40. And this was the 40 version, which I like the best. I just there's something about 40
213. 34:22that just works for me. Um but I want to share this with you and then this gave me an idea for um for how to use branching in in
214. 34:35chat GPT. So I'm kind of excited about it. And so the branching idea I'm it's you're going to be experiencing with it.
215. 34:44You're you're going to be experiencing it for the first time with me because it's just an idea right now. But anyway,
216. 34:50here's the here's the Tony Robbins inspired book thesis. There's only one reason AI keeps disappointing you. You're acting
217. 35:00like a user. You're treating AI like a vending machine. Type in a request, cross your fingers, and hope for
218. 35:06brilliance. But here's the thing. AI isn't a genius. It's not a mind. It's a mirror. It reflects whatever you feed it
219. 35:15with no taste, no judgment, no context. So, if you show up like a user, giving it bland prompts with no voice, no
220. 35:22vision, no stakes, that's what it gives you back. Impressively fast, meaningless, mediocre crap. But here's the ch the shift that changes
221. 35:32everything. Feed your prompt. You feed it your ideas, your taste, your feedback, your weirdness, your ambition,
222. 35:41your edits, your standards. When you do that, everything changes. You stop being a user and start being a producer. And
223. 35:49what do producers do? They don't wait for brilliance. They direct it. They lead the vision. They cast the team.
224. 35:57They shape the output until they decide it sings. When you feed your prompt like a producer, you don't just get better
225. 36:05results. You unlock an invisible 10-person team of AI superstars ready to do anything you want, working in your
226. 36:12voice at your speed, to your standards. So, if you're tired of being disappointed by AI, stop being a user.
227. 36:20Feed your prompt. You feed your prompt like you're the producer and lead your damn team. So, I just I I did a little
228. 36:28bit of copywriting and you copy editing to tighten it up, but for the most part, that's what came out. And it kind of it
229. 36:35kind of works. It it matched the the sort of confidence of Tony Robbins and the clarity of progression of ideas and
230. 36:43it kind of really unpacked nicely. built up to to this team, you know, going from being a user to a producer and then and
231. 36:52then, you know, I love I love the little section and what are producers do? They don't wait for brilliance. They direct
232. 36:59it. And that's if there is a if there is a single point that is the difference between people who are good at AI and
233. 37:08people who are not good at AI is the ones that are good at it are directing the vision. they're holding the vision
234. 37:15of what they want steady and then they're they're they're guiding AI to get them there, right? As opposed to
235. 37:23just expecting it to be brilliant. So anyway, um I see that you give it a quality prompt. Damn, seen this video earlier. Yeah. So, okay.
236. 37:36So, here's the idea. Okay. So now let me explain branching and and I want to explain branching in a in in a
237. 37:45couple of different ways. Well, not in a couple of different ways. There's a couple of different purposes for it. So So let me just show you
238. 37:52really quickly. Um if I if I type in here, I'm just at chat GPT right now. I am sharing this, right? Yeah, I am.
239. 37:58Okay. So I'm at I'm at regular chat GPT right now. And um so I'm going to say um I want to uh
240. 38:17come up with a side hustle I can do on weekends that has very little
241. 38:33time or money investment. Okay, so that's a that's a relatively shitty prompt, but that's okay.
242. 38:50So, one of the things that will often happen is you'll sit down at Chat GPT and you'll start with some
243. 38:59idea, right? I want to start a business on the weekends. Okay, great. And it'll say, "Here's some here's some, you know,
244. 39:07some lowinvestment side hustle ideas. There's freelance micro gigs. There's print on demand. There's digital
245. 39:13projects. There's social media. There's there's an event day helper. Offer yourself for weddings, parties, or local
246. 39:20events, setup, tearown. There's a pop-up vendor, neighborhood services. There's photography walks. That's pretty cool.
247. 39:28Street performance or teaching, weekend workshops. There's affiliate marketing, refurb or flip, there's, you know, the Gary Vee,
248. 39:37right? So, so it gives you all those things. One of the things that Chat GPT in particular is still pretty bad at, if
249. 39:47you get into the thinking models, it gets better, but it's it's got a relatively small context window. And what that means is so so what did
250. 39:56this give us? This gave us 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 12 different um ideas, right? And so so often what'll
251. 40:11happen in chat GBT is you'll get these 12 ideas and you go, "Okay, let me start exploring photography walks." And you'll
252. 40:17start running down that rabbit hole. And the way context windows work, it's kind of like um your, you know, on your
253. 40:26iPhone when you've got, you know, a chat going on and there's a point at which the the the top of the chat goes off
254. 40:32screen and then kind of gets forgotten. That's kind of what happens here where if you're having a really long
255. 40:38conversation about your photography walks, um, and then you say, "What what were those other ideas?" Again, it won't know
256. 40:46what you're talking about. it'll just it'll just make up new ideas and you're like, "No, I thought there was the the
257. 40:52Gary Vee flipping thing in there. Where's where's those other ideas?" And then you go back to the beginning and
258. 40:56they're all they're all lost. So So one of the things that that branching can do is you could actually branch off for
259. 41:07every one of these 12 ideas and go explore them independently, which is actually not a bad idea. And how you do
260. 41:13it is right now I can um in the little uh icons below here there's three dots and one of the three dots if you click
261. 41:22on the three dots it says branch into a new chat and so I'm going to branch this into a new chat and I'm going to say um uh you know
262. 41:34tell me more about photography walks and even research if there are any people doing this in Denver.
263. 41:51All right. And so it's searching the web. And so if I go over to my sidebar, I now have the weekend side hustle ideas
264. 42:01chat and then I have the weekend side hustle ideas chat above it. it it it's not very smart about naming them
265. 42:07cleverly, but you could say weekend side hustle ideas and then I could rename this one to be weekend side
266. 42:16hustle and then we'll say photography photography. All right. And so you could you could name these as as independent
267. 42:24little chats and you can keep going back to the original one and just keep branching off it. So that was that's kind of a that's
268. 42:32that's the the the purpose of them and the the nature of of how they work. And so so then I had an idea of could we
269. 42:41take this idea of acting like the producer where you're spinning up these 10 different um you members of your team and do each one
270. 42:54of those as a separate thread. So, so that's that's what I want to experiment with here. So, we're going to do new
271. 43:01chat. So, any questions, thought does that make sense? [Music] All right. [Music] Okay. So, let's see. Let's do
272. 43:18um I kind of like this idea. Um, I'm a photographer
273. 43:32and want to spin up a side hustle. Actually, you know, you know what would be a fun a fun side hustle
274. 43:47of doing AI powered photography walks.
275. 44:02It's actually a cool idea. Um the idea would uh let's see would be that people use their phones
276. 44:18and generative AI apps like Gemini Nano Banana
277. 44:32um to do highly creative photography. Photography and art making. Okay,
278. 44:49that's a great idea. You're combining a photography walk already popular in cities like Denver with a new wave of
279. 44:55generative AI tools giving people the chance to make art in real time while learning creative techniques. Let me break it down for you.
280. 45:03Okay. Um, what it could be, why it works, potential models. Charge 20 to 50 bucks a person for a 2-hour experience.
281. 45:13Subscription club. Monthly subscription club where people join themed walks. Upsell. Offer optional AI edit packs afterward
282. 45:24where you reprocess their favorite shots into high-res print ready versions. The Denver angle. Okay. So, so there's that. Okay.
283. 45:35So, so now let me say um Okay. So, what I would normally do right here, I've got some ideas. So, we've got a beginning. Let me let me
284. 45:48dig a little bit deeper. Uh let me go let me go um expand on this a bit more. Like you are a
285. 46:02business consultant and um
286. 46:17help me with broad strokes about audience. um
287. 46:33business model and uh marketing approach. So, so we'll get a bit more flesh on the bone here.
288. 46:59Okay. Early adopters and creatives, experience seekers, professionals and teams. That's a cool idea. Core offering
289. 47:06photography walk to. Okay. Okay. So, there's a marketing approach, things like that. So, so let's say let's say
290. 47:15you've done a a little bit more than I have, right? Let's let's say you've gone a bit farther. you you fleshed it out a bit more.
291. 47:23What I would normally do is I would pick kind of like whatever strikes my fancy and I'd be like, "Ooh, let me run down
292. 47:32the marketing rabbit hole or the the branding rabbit hole. Let me come up with a name for the business and a
293. 47:38tagline and and this and that." And then if I'd want to go back and do research or something like that, like I would
294. 47:45have likely lost the beginning of this part of the conversation. So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to open
295. 47:51up the sidebar and I'm going to rename I'm going to rename this. And I'm going to rename it um September.
296. 48:09What's the date? 8th 2025. AI photography walk. Let's see. That's too many. We'll just do We'll just do 98 98
297. 48:2525 AI. And I'm going to call this AI photo walk. And I'm going to call this main. Okay.
298. 48:40So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to branch this thing and I'm going to rename this branch. Oh wait, I guess I need to do something
299. 48:52here, don't I? Okay. So, I'm going to I'm going to say I want you to act like a world class uh branding specialist
300. 49:08specialist and um write me up a creative brief.
301. 49:27No. Uh, well, uh, let's see. Write me up a a branding brief I can use to um, build build
302. 49:43the brand. Kind of obvious, the brand. Okay. And then off it goes. And so now I'm going to rename this.
303. 49:53Rename AI photo walk. And here I'm going to do branding. Okay. And and it's it's off doing its thing. And now I'm going to go back to
304. 50:04main and I'm going to branch it again. And now I'm going to do um I'm going to turn on deep research and I'm going to say act as a
305. 50:21um researcher that specializes in solo prneur um business development
306. 50:37and insights research. Um, the greater Denver market for this AI photo
307. 50:55walk business, which by the way, Gary Vee said this the other day. Some someone said something about, "Well, what could someone do
308. 51:05right now?" He said, "Someone right now should should take ads out in a 10 mile radius of where they live and just put
309. 51:13in an ad that I will walk with you for money that that you know for 50 bucks um I'll walk with you for you know an hour
310. 51:23and a half in our in our neighborhood and just talk with you. I'll be like your walking buddy and and charge for that." Um,
311. 51:32there are going to be all sorts of as people get displaced because of AI, there's going to be all sorts of people
312. 51:39reconnecting and trying to figure out ways to make money. And so this AI photo walk thing, I actually think this is an
313. 51:45interesting idea. Okay. Act as a researcher that specializes in soloreneur business development and insights. Um, okay. So,
314. 51:56we'll just turn that thing loose. We're doing deep research there. Do are we targeting locals? Let's say one locals. Um,
315. 52:11would you like me to focus on specific neighborhoods? Um, start with downtown and Highlands. Oh, that's two.
316. 52:30Um three analysis of local competition three. Yes. Find local competition and identify
317. 52:45opportunities to differentiate. Okay. And then four. What was four? Would you like data on demographic trends? Sure. And then five,
318. 53:01do you want research on regulations and permits? Yes, definitely. Okay. So, that's actually interesting. So,
319. 53:11so that's going to go off and start researching now. Is it doing it? Yes. Okay. So, now we've got that. So, now I'm going to go back to
320. 53:20my main and oh, wait. I got to rename this one. So, we're going to rename this, and we're going to name this one
321. 53:25research. See where I'm going here? Isn't this cool? So, so now all of a sudden, I've got I've got this main idea
322. 53:34that I can just keep branching off of. And then I can you can branch off the branches, too, by the way. Right. So,
323. 53:40you could do, you know, AI photo research slash um something else, right? Positioning or something like that.
324. 53:47Okay. But I'm going to go back to main here. I'm going to branch off it again. Uh, and I'm going to say we can't do
325. 54:00marketing until we have research and branding. But let's go let's go back to branding for a second rollout strategy. All right. Fantastic.
326. 54:18Branding brief an AI AI powered photography walks brand essence turn your camera roll into a dreamscape.
327. 54:26Okay, so let's let's just assume that all of the strategy there was good. Uh the research I just got a notification
328. 54:35on my phone that the research has started. Um do you want me to develop naming concepts like yes? Um so yes please.
329. 54:44So now we're in branding mode, right? We're in the branding branch. Yeah. Yeah. That happens to me all the
330. 54:56time when I'm I'm working on on business ideas. Oh, I think I'll do that when I end up spinning up a website. I have so
331. 55:04many websites because of that. Um name naming convention. Oh, okay. Dream frame walks, Pixel Odyssey, Lens to Legend,
332. 55:14The Wonder Walk, Prompt and Wonder, AI Gallery. Okay. None of these are tied to to Denver. Uh let's see. None of them are tied to Denver
333. 55:31or clearly about AI or what makes things different. Um dig deeper. And then I'm gonna flip I'm gonna manually flip this thing into
334. 55:47thinking mini mode because I feel like it's a good writer and I also want it to think a little bit on this one. All right.
335. 55:55I also noticed that if I put the title of the title of the chat into the chat, then I can search by name in chat GPT.
336. 56:03That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's great. Nice. Good call. I'll I'll I dug deeper. I thought for six seconds and dug deeper.
337. 56:12uh names that Tik Tok question. Uh someone has a Tik Tok question. I've never had chat GPT text me to say it's
338. 56:20researching things. Is that what you said? That is what I said, Jim. Um I think it's because I've got the Chat
339. 56:30GPT app on my phone, but I don't know. Maybe at some point. Well, actually, let's go look at my settings within Chat
340. 56:40GPT. I wonder if it's got notifications. Show addition. Oh, notifications. Here we go. Responses. Get notified when chat
341. 56:49GPT responds to requests that take time. And you can do push notifications. You can turn them on. So, that's that's I
342. 56:57think I turned those I think I remember turning those on. All right. So, you can you can turn those on. Is the $20 a month
343. 57:06subscription worth it? Um, I think it is. Quite frankly, I think the $20 a month for chat GPT is the best deal um
344. 57:14in software right now. There there are so many things that it does. Um that said, the free version is
345. 57:24incredibly powerful. Like what you can't do is things like custom GPTs. You can't do as many image generations. I think
346. 57:32you're really limited on the advanced voice. Um, Jim got excited about something. He got he he I got an oh my god from Jim.
347. 57:42He he he learned something. Um I assume it's the push notification thing. Um yeah, which Jim, this is a really good
348. 57:53point. Even if you're on free chat GPT, go dig into your um into your settings. There are a lot of things that chat GPT
349. 58:05does that you probably don't know about. Free users just got projects. If you don't know what a project is, projects
350. 58:11are [ __ ] insane. This branching thing, I assume this is available to free users. This is just all they're
351. 58:17doing is spinning up different versions of the chat. Um, Mile High Remix. Oh, I like that. Mile High Remix.
352. 58:31That's not quite right. 303 prompt walks. Oh, that's kind of cool. You know what's cool about this photography walk thing is you could get
353. 58:46you could get people that were into photography, into walking, um proi people, anti- AI people. Like you
354. 58:57could get photographers like it's funny. I I was I was at a gallery two nights ago. Was this Sunday? No, Saturday.
355. 59:06Yeah. I was at the gallery Saturday. And I was talking to this photographer. He's a commercial photographer and an art photographer.
356. 59:13And I said, "What are you doing with AI?" And he goes, "Ah, I kind of, you know, I kind of heard about it and I'm
357. 59:18kind of just, you know, not dealing with it." And I said, 'Well, if you're a commercial photographer, you need to know about Nano Banana.
358. 59:30And I showed him what it did. And his mind was blown. We had a little Kevin Mallister moment there in the gallery.
359. 59:35But like you could you could take photographers on these walks and just like, you know, don't bring your fancy
360. 59:41camera. Just bring your bring your phone. And we're going to do things. We're going to take pictures of stuff
361. 59:47and then we're going to take those pictures and we're going to turn them into paintings and we're going to turn
362. 59:50them into stained glass things and we're going to turn them into sculptures and we're going to just do all this [ __ ]
363. 59:56And I think it would be like a fun non-threatening way to get people educated about what's possible with AI. Um, there may be differences in
364. 1:00:06functionality between the chat web browser and the chat apps. I didn't know what the branching was either. And I use this every day. Well,
365. 1:00:17well, Jim, to be fair, branching has only existed for 3 days or 4 days. Like, it's this is a brand new feature or
366. 1:00:25maybe maybe it's a week old. I think it came out last week sometime. Um, but this is a brand new feature. They just
367. 1:00:31added this. This was a user request. Um, but anyway, so so you get the basic idea that that you can now start running down
368. 1:00:39these rabbit holes. Like now I'm running down this naming rabbit hole and it's not [ __ ] up my main branch. So what I
369. 1:00:46So what I'm going to do is this. Look, let me go let me go pick a name here quick. Um, okay. Here's the short list. Mile High
370. 1:00:54Remix 303 prompt walks. I like a lot. The Rhino Remix Lab. That's kind of cool. Rhino Remix Lab. Actually, actually doing this in Rhino
371. 1:01:08Rhino remix walk altitude AI walks 303 prompt walks. Let's go with 303 prompt walks.
372. 1:01:25Oh, actually I bet this can go. Can this go research for us? Um, I like 303 prompt walks. And then I want
373. 1:01:42a tagline that makes uh that that um makes it clear it's a walk. photography,
374. 1:02:02AI remixing, um, and capturing cool things like rhino murals
375. 1:02:21or um, the river or the let's see river or the mountains. Actually, you know what would be a cool
376. 1:02:35a cool AI photography walk would be red rocks. Although you got to walk you got to walk up all those steps. That's [ __ ] exhausting.
377. 1:02:45Love it. Great name. Below the taglines to make it crystal clear. Group them. Okay. Walk shoot prompt remix. Walk
378. 1:02:52Denver prompt art. Um, no. Hero subheads. Walk Denver's murals, rivers, rivers, and peaks. Shoot photos on your phone.
379. 1:03:00Prompt AI and remix them into art. That's kind of cool. Like something like that. Um, a guided walk through Rhino, the river
380. 1:03:09front, and the foothills. Capture photos, learn prompts, and remix your shots with AI. Explore Denver by foot.
381. 1:03:16Capture the mural, the river, the skyline, marketing lines. Okay, whatever. Uh, fine. So, let's go see if this can
382. 1:03:25actually research. Can you see if 303 promptwalk.com
383. 1:03:40walk promptwalk.com is available. I don't know if it can do this. Okay,
384. 1:04:04reporting domain availability. Short answer. I tried to look it up, but I couldn't get it. Here's
385. 1:04:19instructions on how to do it, [ __ ] All right, so it's not agentic yet. I guess I could spin up an agent and have
386. 1:04:25it go do that, but we're not going to do that. I'm just going to say, okay, give me a concise uh let me go pick my tagline that I
387. 1:04:37liked. Let me see which one do I like. [Music] Walk, walk, shoot, prompt, remix.
388. 1:04:56Two-hour creative walkthrough. Rhino in the riverfront. Capture photos. Learn prompt techniques. Get AI remixed and
389. 1:05:03make AI remixed art to share. This is kind of cool. Okay, so we'll do this one. Um, give me a concise um brand positioning right up
390. 1:05:20and the name URL and use this tagline. All right. And so, so, okay. So, what I'm doing
391. 1:05:35here, so let's assume that I spent some good amount of time digging through the branding [ __ ] and I went and looked things up.
392. 1:05:43Brand positioning URL recommended. 303 prompt walks is a hand on hands-on two-hour creative experience in Denver.
393. 1:05:51Part photography walk, part prompt photoshop, part prompt workshop where participants shoot city murals, river
394. 1:05:58light, mountain glimpses on their phones, and use live AI prompting to remix those shots into sharable art.
395. 1:06:08Um, learn to see, shoot, and command AI. Um, three core brand messages, target audiences, brand pillars, tone of voice,
396. 1:06:18primary call to action, if you want it. Now, I'll draft a threeline. Now, this is good. Um, so 303 prompt walks. Okay. So, what I'm
397. 1:06:32going to do is I'm going to copy this And I'm going to go back to my main my main thing and say good news.
398. 1:06:50We have a name for the business. And I'm going to pop that in there. Perfect. This is a strong start. You've
399. 1:07:04got a name tagline 303 prompt walks business framework. Okay. Audience strategy business model. Okay. There we go. Market positioning. A
400. 1:07:14Denver first creative adventure that bla bl that blends photography AI and art. Ah. Okay. So now what we need to do um
401. 1:07:24I'm going to I'm going to branch this. Okay. Let's see. Do you want me to mock up a sample homepage? Not yet. I'm going to branch this
402. 1:07:33and I'm going to say um I want you to help me design the 2-hour walk complete with locations
403. 1:07:50in Rhino and the riverfront. complete with locations and right on the riverfront. Um,
404. 1:08:09exercises and prompting ideas. Um, act like you've been doing
405. 1:08:25photo walks for years and are now AI passionate. Okay, Vicki on YouTube. Let's see. 303 prompt box is available. Thank you,
406. 1:08:41Vicki. Vicki, second brain and researcher. That's awesome. Starting point Denver Central Market. Easy to gather. They have restrooms,
407. 1:08:54coffee. Sets a creative vibe. Love it. Quick intro. Everyone takes three warm-up shots. Textures, reflections,
408. 1:09:00people passing. Prompting ideas. Remix this market interior into a futuristic bizaar with glowing neon cyber meets cowboy aesthetic.
409. 1:09:11Um, that's super. This is a cool idea. I hate to break it to you. Is anybody Is anybody thinking of starting this
410. 1:09:18business? Because you could start this next weekend. You You could have You could have flyers tonight. You know that, right?
411. 1:09:28Fairy Tale Revolution is like, "Thumbs up." [ __ ] right. I am. I mean, seriously, just find like like in in Denver, the Rhino area has got
412. 1:09:37this this whole sort of art walk. There's murals everywhere. the the city commission's artists to do murals and
413. 1:09:44and there's lots of um parks being built and things like that. So, there's all sorts of cool play. There's the
414. 1:09:50railroad, there's Union Stations nearby, the Rocky's ballparks nearby. Not me. Mine would have to be 309prompts.com. Um
415. 1:10:02I have a jailbreak prompt for Gemini 2.5 Pro. They will give you Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, you can you can jailbreak these
416. 1:10:11things to do all sorts of nefarious [ __ ] if you want to. Botswana, I'm thinking about it. Yeah, why not? And and the
417. 1:10:18other thing is just, you know, just go play with this stuff. Okay, so let's let's go change the name of this one, this branch.
418. 1:10:27So, this is now Oh, which one's main? Which one am I in? I'm in this one. Okay. So, we're going to rename this. So, we're going to
419. 1:10:37rename this from main to um uh let's see um curriculum. Not uh let's see uh walk planning.
420. 1:10:54All right. Creative exercises, composition challenges, abstract play, two unrelated textures, frame, transform, play AI
421. 1:11:10prompting framework to teach. Capture a strong base photo. Add descriptive AI prompts. I've done this before, by the
422. 1:11:18way. Th this is Let me see if I can go find a picture for you. Um there there was a there was a picture that I was
423. 1:11:25just walk out walking the dog one day and I did this all on my phone. that that was the thing that sort of gave me this idea. um photos
424. 1:11:38and then let me go to library, go to search, look up flower,
425. 1:11:57stained Glass. Stained glass. All right. Flower. 444 photos. See all?
426. 1:12:23I think these are all older. Yeah, it's not in there. Um, that's too bad. Oh, this was this was it.
427. 1:12:44So, how do I get to this thing? Showing all photos.
428. 1:13:03Can't find it. Oh well. I turned I turned um this was this cool flower. It's got this cool geometric this geometric thing shape on it. and I
429. 1:13:18turned it into this stained glass stained glass thing that came out just incredibly beautiful. So, you can you
430. 1:13:25can take really silly stupid little photos and turn them into something cool. Um, do you want me to design a handout field guide? Uh, let's
431. 1:13:38do I want to split this off? No, we'll we'll do this. Uh, say yes. Make the field guide.
432. 1:14:06Let me see. We're going to throw this in a canvas. If you don't know what a canvas is, you can if if you don't know about the
433. 1:14:14plus button in chatpt, there's all this [ __ ] you can do. You can put it in agent mode, which you haven't play if you haven't played with
434. 1:14:22agent mode. It's insane. That one I think does require you to have 20 bucks a month. Deep research does too. Um, you
435. 1:14:30can create an image here. You can use connectors. I assume that's a paid thing. You can create you can put it in
436. 1:14:36study and learn mode. You can put it in web search. you can do this thing called canvas. So if I go to canvas,
437. 1:14:41uh I'm going to say um make this uh editable in a canvas
438. 1:15:03two hours. your phone. Our prompts transform your camera roll. Not quite right, but that's okay. Um, there you go. There's an editable field
439. 1:15:17guide. Uh, let's do let's go back to main. We're going to branch off again and we're going to go um act as an art director
440. 1:15:33and take the branding guidelines and give me a creative brief
441. 1:15:47for mood boards. that I will then use for color schemes and logo designs.
442. 1:16:08All right. So, let's go rename this one now to rename logos. So, look what I'm doing here. And and also what I should be doing,
443. 1:16:22in fact, we'll do this now. I'm going to take I'm going to take all of these um these branches from this main thing and
444. 1:16:33I'm going to throw them into a project. So, I'm going to say add to project, new project. We're going to call this 303 prompt walk
445. 1:16:45side hustle. And I'm going to create the project YouTube comment shelf Kelly. Use the AI salon approved midjourney mood board
446. 1:16:58style and have it do a Denver landscape. Oh, that's really good, Kelly. That's that's really good. In fact, yeah. You know what?
447. 1:17:07Oh, this is really good. So, Chef Kelly, you know. Oh. Oh. All right. You You wanna You want to kick out some fun?
448. 1:17:24What if we do an AI salon branded? What if we turn Prompt walks into an AI salon project and everyone can locally do it
449. 1:17:35and we'll we could come up with pricing or you could do it for free if you want to or you could charge 20 bucks or 50
450. 1:17:41bucks for it. I don't give a [ __ ] We do it a AI salon branded. We create a prompt walk area within the salon
451. 1:17:52and you take people out and where they share their work is in the salon. That's not bad.
452. 1:18:06I think we should come up with pricing for it. So that whoever whoever wants to do this and market this and run this in their
453. 1:18:20local area, they can make some money. People people join the salon as a result in this really creative way. Do it. Do
454. 1:18:28it. All right. Do you want to do it? Have AI price it. Oh, yeah. That's that's actually Well, we didn't go back
455. 1:18:34to our research yet, but wait, let's let me hang on. Let me let me add all these things to the the uh project the Okay,
456. 1:18:42so branding. So we're going to add it to 303 promptwalk research, which we need to go look at. We're going to add to 303 prompt walk. Um,
457. 1:19:03wait. Why Why did it not add my Why are these things not added to it? Um, add to project. All right, I guess they're added. Add to project.
458. 1:19:18Add to project. Okay. Oh, wait. There it just added logos. Let me add main. There's main. Let me add research. There's research.
459. 1:19:31Let me add branding. There's branding. Branding. And then let me add walk planning. This is a killer [ __ ] idea.
460. 1:19:47Doing this as a salon. as a salon sponsored thing.
461. 1:20:02Valerie, I literally saw a light bulb light bulb above Kyle. That's my new uh influencer LED light projecting on the
462. 1:20:10background. No, but it like I it like it really is it like this really is a uh because I was thinking where where would
463. 1:20:19people share their images? We'll share them in the AI salon and then everyone can can benefit from that. Like here's the
464. 1:20:28original photo. Here's what I turned it into. Branded lends instant credibility. Yeah, that's so cool, Vicki. Um, what the hell is going on
465. 1:20:43here? What's that line? There we go. Um, would work for me if I could walk. Oh, I know. Me, too. I'm like, I got to find I
466. 1:20:54got to find a small little radius and doesn't have too many hills. Oh, this is so cool. And then what tool
467. 1:21:07would you use? I guess you could use chat GPT. because that's free and it's got the photo thing. Or you could use Gemini.
468. 1:21:25This is so cool. This so it's this it's a really fun idea. All right. And then so any one of these now that I'm in a project, I can go into
469. 1:21:35any one of these and and still just go back into it, right? Yeah, this is so [ __ ] cool. All right, I think I'm finally getting
470. 1:21:45my head around branching and projects. You all these things can go together. That's pretty cool.
471. 1:22:02H um let's go into our logo thing. Uh, say yes. Make me a 20 object
472. 1:22:17mood board that captures the brand. And then in every one of these subhats, you do all your No. God, I hate it when it does that.
473. 1:22:32No, you're not programming an image. Use your image gen tools,
474. 1:22:48you dummy. [Laughter] I was picturing those cartoon maps only a lot better. Oh, for a logo.
475. 1:23:05Don't hate the machine. Well, I I mean the machines I I would hate the machine less if the if the machine were less hateable.
476. 1:23:17Oh my god, I can't believe chat GPT still doesn't have 16 by9 aspect ratio. It's astounding to me. That's it's my new pet peeve. And at
477. 1:23:28some point they're just gonna have it. But it's like honest to God, really kids? Really? Has no one ever there ever been to
478. 1:23:36YouTube or Tik Tok? Oh, you know what I want to do? Okay, let's um [ __ ] As soon as that's done, I I want
479. 1:23:48to um I wonder do I have enough here? Yeah, I'm gonna go over to Brand essence creative brief brand essence. Okay, I'm
480. 1:24:03gonna go over to Gemini and have it make a mood board as well because I have a feeling it's going to be good. Um,
481. 1:24:16Gemini, we're going to go do some nano banana ink. Oh, by the way, I learned a new thing today on Tik Tok. I think it's
482. 1:24:22good. This has been really frustrating. If you want a specific aspect ratio in Nano Banana, you go aspect underscore ratio equals quotes 16
483. 1:24:40colon 9 quote and then you do your prompt. Okay. Um, I want you to use the following creative
484. 1:24:54uh createive brief for an AI photo walk
485. 1:25:09business. Paste all that in there. Make me a mood board that I can get inspired to make a brand
486. 1:25:28for. Let's go back here and see what this did. Oh. Oh, this is really interesting actually. Um,
487. 1:25:42303 prompt walks. This is actually not bad. This didn't really do a mood board. This This is sort of like an ad. Learn
488. 1:25:49to see, shoot, and command AI. 303 prompt walks. 2-hour creative walkthrough. Rhino in the riverfront. Capture photos, learn
489. 1:25:59prompt techniques, and get AI remixed art to share. This image looks like a lot of the um a lot of the uh murals in in Denver.
490. 1:26:21That's kind of cool, huh? Very cool. Our
491. 1:26:37little town has been putting new hiking and biking trails everywhere. I have too many projects, but I think
492. 1:26:52this is a really cool [ __ ] project. And we could all just do it in our own little like the the prompt. It could be
493. 1:27:00the AI salon. AI Salon 303 prompt walk, right? Or the AI Salon 405 prompt walk. You just everyone's got their own zip or area code.
494. 1:27:14We come up with a little Canva template. Huh. I dig it. I dig it. I dig it. I dig it. I dig it. I dig it. All right. That's
495. 1:27:29cool. All right. Um, never knew it was a prompt walk, but I do these every single day. It Well, it's a new thing. We just came up with it,
496. 1:27:44Silver Fox. It's It's now the prompt walk. Take pictures. Prompt away. Turn Turn your snaps into art. It's so cool.
497. 1:27:59Like, take a picture of a mural. Turn that into a real person. Turn that into a video, right? Turn that into someone talking. Turn that into
498. 1:28:13and actually the AI salon has an Instagram page which has got nothing on it. Can you have group Instagram pages? Is
499. 1:28:27that a thing where where you can give people access like posting access to an Instagram account? Anybody know? Vicki must know that.
500. 1:28:36Someone here knows that. Any is there anyone young enough here to understand Instagram? I really should have learned it.
501. 1:28:52Um, let's see. Give me a logo concept. Use the collaborations feature to co-author posts with other accounts.
502. 1:29:11All right. Nope. It doesn't work like that. Well, that's stupid. What What works like that? There's got to be something.
503. 1:29:21You could use Pinterest, though. Oh, vibe code. Oh, we could vibe code. We could vibe code a a prompt walk platform.
504. 1:29:33Actually, maybe that's the thing to do. Maybe this maybe this becomes a a vibecoded app. I don't know. Anyway,
505. 1:29:50that's horrible. That's a horrible logo. Um, use your brand brief. This sucks. Make it
506. 1:30:06suck less. Let's go see what Gemini came up with. All right, it found some 303 prompt
507. 1:30:20walks. That's sort of in the neighborhood of a mood board. Not what I had in mind, but all right, whatever.
508. 1:30:35Um, find actual Denver mural art to feature and feature.
509. 1:30:50Not just images and photos. Wait, not just photos, but the AI re- imagined art
510. 1:31:13has to be an IG biz page and give you permission and give permission to whomever. That's too that's too complicated.
511. 1:31:21Source camp didn't learn Instagram either. Good. I'm not the only one. You can do it through meta. Yesterday I did a garden walk with my
512. 1:31:31personal memories of past present spaces. That's cool. Mr. What's the name of something? AI remix surrealism
513. 1:31:55303 prompt walks. Actually, that's kind of a cool like using
514. 1:32:10Oh, look at the 303. They made it into a camera. That's kind of cool. I'm going to go duh. Make the zero
515. 1:32:25in 303 the lens of a camera in the logo.
516. 1:32:39What's the name of the project? Well, what I was doing tonight was I was just I was exploring a new a way to use branching in chat GPT
517. 1:32:50that I could actually get my head around. And the basic idea was you start with some idea and then every branch is
518. 1:32:57a different kind of expert, right? So I've got a branding expert, I've got a research expert, I've got a um an art
519. 1:33:04director, I've got someone planning the walk itself are these different personas that I'm branching off the main thing. I
520. 1:33:14go have the long conversations with the branding director. I get to a good brand and then I come back to the main chat
521. 1:33:19and I say, "Now we've got a brand." So you're not polluting your main chat with all of the side conversations. You go
522. 1:33:26have side conversations, do all your work over there, consolidate it, and bring it back to the main chat.
523. 1:33:33So you can you can still get the benefit of all those things back in the main chat if you want it. But if you're in a
524. 1:33:38project, you've essentially got that anyway. Um, yeah, Valerie Cox, we live in a world where if it doesn't exist, you just
525. 1:33:51create it. I know. This is such a cool idea. This is such a cool idea. And Chat GPT completely got this wrong. It can't figure it out.
526. 1:34:06Unbelievable. Oh, good lord. Let's go ask Google to do it better. Watch I I mean I hate to say it, but Gemini at this point for this
527. 1:34:19for image stuff makes um chat GPT's image generation look childish. Um make me a cool
528. 1:34:35303 prompt. Walk logo where the
529. 1:34:50zero in 303 is the lens of the camera and the threes are beside it. beside it.
530. 1:35:06And the um prompt walk has a graffiti feel to it but is still
531. 1:35:24logo friendly for small and single color app. ations. Act like a an awardw
532. 1:35:42winning logo designer. Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh. Can we be done now, please? I need to go to bed and I don't want to miss
533. 1:35:54anything. Yeah, I'm kind of I'm kind of whipped to too, Vicki. Yeah, we can we can wind this down. I think I mean two
534. 1:36:01things happened tonight. My hypothesis about using branching to do like your different team members I think is a really good idea.
535. 1:36:11I think that's something I'm going to start to explore. And then I think on top of that I it just I it it never ceases to amaze
536. 1:36:22me that you can start with nothing with AI and within whatever this was an hour of just [ __ ] around and I'm mostly
537. 1:36:29talking. I'm not even working. You can come up with something like this is like a real viable potential side
538. 1:36:38business and then tying it to the salon all of a sudden this this thing could take on a life of its own. I think it's absolutely amazing.
539. 1:36:48Um, put the 303 in the body of a camera with the zero as the lens
540. 1:37:09and add some color. Uh uh uh. These logos suck. I've been using Gemini more. All right, let me get on out of here.
541. 1:37:27Generating image. The nice thing about um Oh, that's pretty cool. Except prompt walk sucks, but the 303 is really nice.
542. 1:37:36It's It's not It's not really logo friendly, right? That doesn't that doesn't reduce well, but it's it's nice as a concept.
543. 1:37:54[Music] Yeah, this is uh this is business. All right. All righty, man. Okay. So, tomorrow, um, Cindy [ __ ] and I, we're doing our,
544. 1:38:10um, the kickoff of the micro course. So, it's at, um, 3:00 p.m. Mountain time, so 5:00 p.m. Eastern or 2:00 p.m. Pacific
545. 1:38:20or 400 p.m. Central. And um you have to be a part of the AI salon mastermind to take it. If you're a part
546. 1:38:35of the mastermind, um just go into Cindy Coon's prototyping club. The events are in there. They're set up. Go RSVP for
547. 1:38:44them. Those start tomorrow. Um normal time tomorrow night. Tomorrow's just a normal Tuesday. Um, and then go
548. 1:38:54vote for if you're in AI Salon. Go into um contests and competitions in the news section and I've got a link to my
549. 1:39:04project, go upvote mine and then in look what I made. Brandon's got his in there. So, if you could go to our Kaggle um
550. 1:39:14contest entries and upvote them, that would be swell. Thank you very much. And uh yeah, that's it. That's it, people. That was
551. 1:39:29good. It was I I hope it was valuable to you. Like I feel like I got a lot out of this tonight. I don't always know that that
552. 1:39:39translates. I hope it translated out. Um have you shown what chatt agents can do? We've played with them a little bit.
553. 1:39:49Um, if you want to see what chat GPT agents will be able to do, go to GenSpark, genspark.ai, um, or genspark.com. I don't know which
554. 1:39:59one it is. I think it'sai. Um, GenSpark is a much slicker version of Chat GPT's agents. Um, but that said, the next
555. 1:40:10iteration of Chat GPT agents, they're probably going to be really good. The only problem with them right now is
556. 1:40:15they're very slow. uh they're they're kind of slow in plotting and and they make a lot of mistakes, but like all of
557. 1:40:21the agent agent sites right now are like that. Um we've played with them a little, but that's probably something
558. 1:40:27worth worth exploring here a bit more. Um genspark.ai YouTube Valerie. Um yeah, I saw that one. I got that one.
559. 1:40:41This was so good. Okay, great. Awesome. Fantastic. Fantastic. Yeah. So go on ahead and make yourself treat yourself like the producer
560. 1:40:50and treat AI like your 10-person team. And now with branching, start with your main chat and branch off each individual
561. 1:40:59team member as a separate chat and go have all those chats and then just bring the best of those back to your main
562. 1:41:06conversation. I think there's some real power there. I like it. I dig it. Do that. All right. Beautiful.
563. 1:41:16Peace out. I will see you tomorrow. Hope you had a good good night. Bye.
