  1. Good morning, good evening, good night, good afternoon.

  2. Sometimes it's easier for me to keep going than to quit.

  3. Life is real, you know what I mean? You have to go out there and put the work in.

  4. And if you've never been in the pit at a NASCAR race, do it.

  5. The time you put in while no one is around will be what sets you apart when everyone is watching.

  6. Because a lot of times you'd be like, oh yeah, that's a cool little idea.

  7. And once they really understand where you're coming from, the meaning behind it all in your heart, what you really want to accomplish, that's when people dive in.

  8. They really get on board with it.

  9. What's up? What's up? What's up? Good morning. Good evening. Good night.

  10. Whatever time you're listening in, wherever you're listening from, East USA, West USA, anywhere in the world.

  11. Big shout out. You could be anywhere in the world, but you're here listening with us right now.

  12. Whether you're an AI enthusiast, whether you're hearing the buzzword of AI and you don't know what's going on.

  13. I'd like to introduce a very, very special guest.

  14. He was recently featured in the San Francisco Standard and donned the hackathon king of the local circuit out there.

  15. He's won over 200 hackathons, so really speed tournaments to come up with an idea developed.

  16. And you'd think he'd know every line of code, every syntax, every language.

  17. But the truth is, he's been using a technique called vibe coding way before we donned it.

  18. Vibe coding. He was a pioneer in it.

  19. So these are PhDs.

  20. These are people with engineering backgrounds that are entering these hackathons and he's sweeping them, just running them.

  21. I was able to speak about vibe coding at WorldCoin recently, has a product called Agencies that we're going to get into a little bit later.

  22. but i just wanted to let you know renee i am absolutely honored to be able to pick your brain

  23. um your track record of not only winning professional yugioh tournaments but music

  24. shows that you really have a well-rounded strategist mind and people are speaking very

  25. highly quoted in the new york times uh anything i miss no shit man i got about everything but

  26. yeah thanks so much i really appreciate it uh my name is renee um thanks for having me here

  27. appreciate it yeah no problem no problem so i want to go back to the beginning kind of give a brief

  28. overview of what vibe coding is and kind of how you discovered it or got into it

  29. yeah so uh vibe coding is just basically the act of using ai to build products for you

  30. um so for me um i discovered it uh about two years ago two and a half years ago somewhere around

  31. there um i was introduced to chat gpt um and i one day was asking my head engineer too many times

  32. hey can you use uh ai to maybe help with this and then one day you're like if you ask me to use ai

  33. one more time i'm gonna quit i'm like all right well we were bootstrapped so i knew if i shut

  34. down the company it doesn't really hurt anyone besides myself so i shut down the company and i

  35. wanted to rebuild the product and what took my team two three months of with eight people took

  36. me two three days by myself so i went on to just build a lot of shit and that was my first taste

  37. of vibe coding and that's how i got into it because i was just angry i wanted to see like well if

  38. people with 20 plus years of experience in engineering can do all this shit and i can do

  39. like 10 times more than that like what else can i do yeah absolutely uh when the mind opens up to

  40. vibe coding and the idea of using ai tools to kind of craft your thoughts or your voice where

  41. you become almost a creative director and let the tools do the things that would take

  42. your traditional developer hours to do really in seconds so that's amazing you were able to

  43. recognize and it's early in the world it's early enough that you're seeing it kind of

  44. change and grow as the software has the tools changed yeah um i mean yes as so two years ago

  45. we only had like we didn't really have any tools all we really had was like uh could you ask chat

  46. gbt this could you copy paste this and a lot of time people would do it for like very small things

  47. that would be like three four lines of code and they're like oh this is perfect and they'll just

  48. copy that little piece of thing so i at the time i was like you know what uh whatever and eventually

  49. tools got better they came out with stuff like cursor replit windsurf uh lots lots of lots of

  50. stuff and now um whenever like i build like how i build now is like nothing like i used to build

  51. like two years ago that's amazing that's amazing where do you see the future of it going do you

  52. see it being something that they kind of call on specialists like you to kind of be a mercenary

  53. to solve quick problems do you think uh what's the runway we have till you know kids are vibe

  54. coding well kids are already vibe coding yeah that's the best part like i i love it whenever

  55. i see like kids at hackathons and i'm like this kid is gonna kick all your guys's asses just watch

  56. it and it's fantastic because like realistically like as long as you have the the willingness to

  57. like hey i need is done i'm gonna just do it like you're you're good um we're seeing though like it

  58. it just it's just very expansive right now like lots of people are getting into it lots of people

  59. are like starting to like come up to it again like the kids are kind of amazing because we're

  60. even seeing uh like i've been i've been approached by a couple different people with like different

  61. uh groups of also youth um that like do computers and stuff and like they're they're vibe coding

  62. they're building product they're building video games and like it's it's really impressive to see

  63. that's super cool that's super cool do you think what kind of a mind do you think has an advantage

  64. to it i've heard you on record talking about uh grit kind of you know that that's where we started

  65. the idea of having you on i will not lose podcast just the idea that you know it's the journey it's

  66. changing it's it doesn't do the work and the thinking for you it may do the work but back to

  67. the question what kind of mind do you think excels with these kind of tools right now so um it's kind

  68. of interesting because i mentioned a lot to people about like if you don't know how to code this is

  69. the best time to be able to do this because you won't build the same way that you would if you've

  70. been coding for 20 years in fact it's almost like a really hard like something holding you back

  71. if you do know how to code because you're stuck with all these lessons that don't make sense with

  72. what you're doing and they scream don't do this because it's going to screw everything up but at

  73. the same time it's like almost like a leap of faith and a lot of people have faith in lots of

  74. stuff so if you can see like hey you know just try this see what happens and they start seeing

  75. results well people that don't know how to code they're not going to care that they don't you

  76. know know how to code in the first place they're just going to do it and people that do know how

  77. to code internally it's like well i've been taught all this for all these years all this screams

  78. everything no but do i do it and it's really hard so i think people that have open mindsets people

  79. that are uh if you're someone that like quickly adapts and picks up skills like let's say you're

  80. like a music producer and then you want to learn video editing and then you want to do like graph

  81. like if you're one of those people this is the perfect time for you because the people that got

  82. the farthest on this are generalists people that can pick up a lot of skills really quickly yeah

  83. just enough and then just go because you can do way more with ai this way yeah that's insane uh

  84. we had spoken about a week or so now it's been a few weeks at this point through a mutual friend

  85. and renee introduced me to vibe coding and when you were saying about you know just getting

  86. frustrated and saying i'm gonna get the ai to do it it's ever is a lot of guesswork over the past

  87. couple years of how ai would disrupt and what it would do um how soon i see major companies even

  88. meta making vibe coding if not a hard requirement it's starting to be looked at for employees you

  89. know what's your prediction on it becoming almost like needing to know microsoft office in almost

  90. every job well i think that's a let me give you an example of what what what i'm going to say um

  91. back then swords were extremely lethal and useful swords are still useful and lethal now

  92. however eventually the bow and arrow came along and it was a lot more efficient muskets came

  93. the guns got better the missiles got better and just like things just eventually like outpace it

  94. yes the sword is still very powerful in its own right but compared to a bomb it's kind of like

  95. lackluster so what i'm seeing right now with this is that if you don't know how to vibe code and you

  96. are building in tech you're gonna get outpaced dramatically because the entire industry is

  97. building for that they're building for quicker more uh efficient things and if you're gonna

  98. keep using the sword you cannot compete in war so that's kind of like the only real thing i have

  99. to say about that no that's fire that's fire that's a great outlook on it you know these are

  100. new tools that um you know you are helping and i know you know this but for listeners that are

  101. just getting introduced to you you are pioneering the way that you know this may be an industry you

  102. know the ai industry that the ai shift is here whether or not we're out of the industrial

  103. revolution yet and you have people like yourself meeting with top companies in the world helping

  104. to shape how these tools work i mean is it a lot on your shoulders or is this just who you were to

  105. stand out and this is just what you're doing now so i had a big beef back two years ago with people

  106. because whenever i was learning how to do this whole like ai coding stuff people had a big

  107. problem with me because this was not something like you're supposed to be doing and people would

  108. be like making fun of me they would make all kinds of jokes and stuff and i'm a person that likes to

  109. bully back so i decided like all right if this is going to be the line then make sure you stay on

  110. that side whenever we we go to war so my goal is i knew there's only 15 million people on this world

  111. that know how to be a full stack engineer there's five billion people on this world with a phone

  112. so if i flip the numbers and i start making it to where like hey guys we have way more people

  113. that can all of a sudden build products better than you faster than you and like outscale you

  114. guys well now like i'm not supposed to be the leader but i can flip the narrative and make it

  115. to where it's us versus them and when you're competing against renee you don't necessarily

  116. win often there you go there you go yeah no it shows that's uh that's a curious strategy

  117. you know so it's great because the the world benefits i think of like when skype came across

  118. and disrupted communications it's like did it really disrupt it in a bad way even what we're

  119. doing right now for my listeners that don't know i'm on the east coast a few hours south of new

  120. york may is in the bay area so it's absolute no latency video communication even when skype

  121. started it wasn't that and things come along whatever drives people to always want to do

  122. faster quicker thinker you know um so let me change subjects how do you focus on the the human

  123. aspect you know you see a lot of people saying that ai is i've seen all sorts of rumors flying

  124. around but people think of it as this bad thing that goes against human ingenuity um what what's

  125. your thoughts well i don't blame them in fact i i feel more for them than anyone in around in this

  126. in this whole instance because tech people kind of already know what we're doing however i i think

  127. that this is also stems a lot from the unknown and i think if people knew more and knew how

  128. it can help versus just harm then i think we'd be having a lot different of a conversation

  129. people love talking about how man i keep using fucking guns as analogies because i'm from

  130. missouri but people love talking about how like hey you know guns are they're dangerous they kill

  131. people but they also protect people and the the thing is i don't i i i understand people that

  132. would say like well they still kill people because you're right they do and i can't argue with you

  133. on that but the only things i can say is that i can at least protect because i can't stop other

  134. people but i can control what i can do so i can almost use it as like a way to be a mediator

  135. no it makes sense makes sense and um i get personally frustrated when you see people

  136. spreading rumors that haven't used ai haven't or they're thinking it's still just something

  137. to make essays you know i know you're i know you're not a huge gpt fan but i just use that

  138. because most people are familiar with you know but you're leading the way you spoke at world coin

  139. you know on um i saw the the clip a couple of clips that you had you'll be in there speaking

  140. tearing the room down uh speaking at vibe coding like you said to me you were vibe coding before

  141. they called it vibe coding and you know now they when they released gpt5 they spoke about they had

  142. a whole section about how you can vibe code with it now so is this catching fire is this so i have

  143. my own problems with gpt5 and i don't even use gpt5 my biggest problem with gpt5 was actually

  144. the the whole uh concept that they didn't want to go and allow any of the previous models

  145. because what we've seen time and time again every time they release one of these models

  146. um they release it and then they have to do like 20 iterations before it gets mediocre and what we

  147. see is stuff like uh one one time uh they had this situation where um people have these like

  148. public shares you've probably seen this where people chats are just being shared and like

  149. all of a sudden they're being indexed by google now you have all your private information and

  150. api keys all over the internet i'm seeing that like it's just for a lot like for anybody that's

  151. been building prior it hurts those people anyone that has been a new user it helps them because

  152. they don't know but at the same time if they're really needing to do a vibe coding section

  153. they should make a separate product ai models are ai models adding tools and adding infrastructure

  154. are one thing but what they're wanting to do really needs to be its own product you don't have

  155. well whenever you see microsoft microsoft has a bunch of products they have their own word they

  156. have their own system they have like all these different things chat gbt is trying to shove

  157. everything into one little box and say like oh this is a standard and realistically i know that

  158. they're over like off their bits they're biting off more than they can chew if they would just

  159. go and diversify it into a separate thing and into multiple things that were other niches instead of

  160. burning the whole fucking ocean they'd be doing much better right now but they're not no i don't

  161. know if they can go back so that's uh that's that's a great i don't want to call it a hot

  162. take that's just great insight in general have you used clod code i haven't used clod code but

  163. what am i using that that has such outputs i know it's built on clod code um our boy alex i had to

  164. shout him out in this uh in this alex cologne has been we've been uh in his discord server and he's

  165. been showing me clod code but no i've been stuck on replet since you put me on it burned through

  166. my usage and about to start some more stuff you can use anything you want brother the only reason

  167. i brought this up though is because whenever uh anthropic did claude originally claude was

  168. a chat bot and they had api but when they went for claude code they made a separate product for

  169. claude so they didn't just pop that into their main because it would be it would not work anymore

  170. it would not be the same product which is why claude code works because they fucking separated

  171. it so it reminds me of uh i know we set off mike that you were replaying uh final fantasy i think

  172. do you remember the gun blades where they're like let's take this sword that works perfectly fine

  173. this gun that works let's just combine them and make hell yeah

  174. would use the cool as fuck bro cool as fuck big sword that's awesome well i will put something

  175. but no you're right sometimes just a tool that does one thing and that's what's been so interesting

  176. about watching the race i loved that mid journey was its own thing because i don't think i'm still

  177. a power user at chat gbt and i don't see a use to use it for image generation it got better but

  178. was still not the best if that's what you want to do now i made it accessible for somebody who

  179. wasn't going to look at mid journey but hanging out in their discords and seeing um you know what

  180. what are they making for the commercial workflow you know i've been working at least for my legacy

  181. i don't even know in a year if i'll be doing the creative services like i'm doing now or maybe with

  182. a bunch of different ai tools and still connecting with people they don't want to learn the tools yet

  183. but i have no idea what the landscape looks like and credit usage i don't think your average person

  184. is looking at they just pay a monthly fee and they don't think wow there's people that use it

  185. more than me or less than me so a lot of paradigm shifts that have to happen and i don't know if

  186. it's going to take for voice to be super easy where you can just tell your phone to do stuff

  187. and it goes into an agent mode knows your intent and does it so i think that's actually going to

  188. be very common very soon i even met with uh i'm gonna say this and i'm just gonna hope he doesn't

  189. get mad at me for saying this so i met the other day with uh mc hammer and he has his own like

  190. ai phone coming out and i know that's exactly what they're they're gonna they're gonna be making it

  191. do everything in your damn thing uh they wanted to re completely rebuild it and stuff so i i

  192. I know that's going to be very popular.

  193. Yeah.

  194. Yeah.

  195. Yeah.

  196. No, it's interesting, at least from a personal perspective,

  197. there's things that I want the AI to do.

  198. It's like, all right, it's already awesome that it does that,

  199. so it should be able to do this.

  200. And I'm like, I'm really on the edge of, okay, can I make it do this?

  201. And when I was watching the GPT-5, they introduced personalities in the voice

  202. where you can kind of have it switch into different modes and i think it's hilarious

  203. because i've been doing that for a few months i have different modes if i wanted to talk faster

  204. and give me tasks or what and um you kind of sit there and you think everybody thinks like this

  205. everybody thinks well it should be able to do this or i should be able to switch it to

  206. uh new york accent uh you know it should have different voices and i get they wanted to just

  207. work first but to see them then add things that you've been on record trying to tell people

  208. look this is what it is does it does it ever drive you crazy or i mean it's one of those

  209. things that it's like it's part of the industry you just got to deal with it it sucks yeah yeah

  210. how many people would you say i mean is there um i've been tapping into communities of vibe coders

  211. big shout out to your boy billy too he spoke so highly of you are you that's my boy i love that

  212. dude that guy i i back him on everything that that guy's great that's awesome that's awesome

  213. yeah we were um we were going back and forth on messenger i reached out to him just how we see him

  214. and you and alex's stuff so trying to just get an idea of what sort of philosophies what sort

  215. of mindsets you know you have been on record just talking about being driven and just that that

  216. workhorse ability you know what do you feel sets you apart can anybody do what you do i mean your

  217. track record is in like the 10th of a percentile in multiple things here's what i think and i'll

  218. tell this i told i tell this with like all my investors i just got off on an investor call too

  219. anyone can do what i do i graduated high school with d's i dropped out of college my first

  220. semester because it was boring to me i only learned how to do this shit in less like two years

  221. anyone can do what i can do but the reason why people won't be able to do it is only because

  222. i have more grit than people i don't give up i'm i'm a surprise people don't see me coming and they

  223. don't understand where this guy comes from because i don't have the background and because i have

  224. these little advantages like not having a background just being a regular dude i can use

  225. that to take a market and overnight people will be like who was this and that's part that's part

  226. of it that's awesome that's awesome is that something you recognize in yourself and now

  227. you just lean into um you know it's more like yeah it's kind of something like um i had to like

  228. i had to first figure out why like someone one day asked me like hey renee why why are you always

  229. about like doing this stuff but you're always telling people like all this like hey you're

  230. just a guy you know like don't don't tell people you're smart like just like oh yeah he's just like

  231. some idiot or something and the reason behind all this is because if you let people like

  232. underestimate you you can really go way farther than where they think they they are so like if

  233. you're like hey uh this guy you know um he he you know he says he doesn't really know anything but

  234. he can like maybe type something let's let him try it and i touch it and all of a sudden it's

  235. like gold well all of a sudden it's a completely different topic that we have to have and it's uh

  236. it's just super useful for um for that type of stuff sorry i know i just caught you it's scary

  237. no i think it gets scary with people with even though it's easy i think the idea that it just

  238. does it for you is an interesting thing like you know i'm in the creative services i'm in the stuff

  239. with cameras so people all the time will see you show up to a shoot and say oh you know the video

  240. is going to look great because that camera you have it's like oh you want to borrow it like here

  241. take the the camera big shout out to alex cookie had told me that and i'm like yep i'm stealing

  242. that that's a good one because the even podcasting people are like oh that's simple you know talk to

  243. me two years later when you're like wow it's every stuff don't even know who's listening

  244. I thought about because I have the equipment doing this live but I'm like no you know as smooth as

  245. this is gone knock on wood anything can happen and I wanted to really be able to get some future

  246. predictions because people don't always like the monday that this drops it's it may go viral who

  247. knows but that's not oh it's more let me get an idea to pick the brain people have quoted you as

  248. the next steve jobs and i wanted to spend some time talking about signal versus noise and whether

  249. or not you know your ratio you seem pretty high signal you know um seem like you can lock in and

  250. really do the work past the point where your mind's shutting down you know and not everybody

  251. can do that so well what i'm really seeing i guess is that like i already knew like six like

  252. or at the beginning of the year i knew that ai agent coding was about to be the next big thing

  253. because once i started replit like come out with replication and then like i'm starting cursor i

  254. immediately knew like oh this is it so what i'm starting to see is you have a ton of companies

  255. building um ai agent products and they are building also like ways to build code so like

  256. building another cursors other replicas but what i'm not seeing a lot of is tools that you can give

  257. someone that's going to be a vibe coder that's more where i'm starting to like start having my

  258. company be is that like if as vibe coders okay they're gonna have replet or whatever but once

  259. they build up their web their website they're gonna need other stuff they're gonna need a

  260. customer service they're gonna need a crm they're gonna all this shit so my concept for right now

  261. is i see a lot more and this is like early but i'm seeing other people around me that are

  262. competitors do the same shit now where we're all just making it to where like we're gonna empower

  263. vibe coders because there's a giant market already of people that are paying twenty dollars a month

  264. fifty dollars a month hundred dollars a month for their products and then they're going to be

  265. willing to spend another couple dollars here and there on something that helps make them not have

  266. to do shit because they're just one people companies yeah i would uh i would pay even

  267. just for a library almost like remember jakeberry back in the day where i don't know you were i

  268. don't know if you were coding i had some experience with coding when i was younger just html i know

  269. some css and i'd like to go down the design end like photoshop illustrator all that stuff but um

  270. i would i didn't know javascript but there were libraries of stuff that said this is what it does

  271. and you could just kind of cut it and paste it and put it into your code it might have been sloppy

  272. but it worked um do you think the idea of vibe coding becomes more drag and drop for stuff where

  273. there's a value for libraries to just say hey this dude did this cool almost like an open source

  274. where hey i want to build it but not copy it and change it build something like it i don't know

  275. yeah there is because there will always be people trying to um reinvent the wheel it's always people

  276. trying to reinvent zillow or stripe or the next company and that's okay because that just allows

  277. you to build a much more competitive market that's fair enough that's fair enough so 90 days

  278. from now let's do a short-term and a long-term prediction and then we can get into agencies for

  279. a little bit sure sure uh little shit um in the next 30 days fuck uh man i don't really know about

  280. the next 30 days because i feel like um a lot of the stuff right now is just noise even like all

  281. like all the new stuff that's been coming out like whenever dpd5 came out like i just feel like

  282. all this is just like people's launching stuff so that shareholders and people are happy i'm not

  283. really seeing any of this being really new i think in the next 90 days though we will be seeing more

  284. robotics i think uh robotics is going to be like very hot uh bio uh robotics is going to be super

  285. hot um you're gonna see a lot of people using ai to allow like micro stuff in your blood to like

  286. do stuff more together because right now whenever you put like like stuff into your body to do

  287. things they're kind of like on this like very closed circuit idea that like if this do this

  288. if this do this and that's how that kind of stuff works but i'm seeing now with ai since it's so

  289. dynamic we're gonna have a lot more uh ways to even like help cure cancer and stuff so

  290. that's what i'm excited about that's insanity and i am on that side i'm with you in terms of

  291. everything that can heal i mean like you said fire you know do we say it burns people so no

  292. more fire for the human race it's kind of like uh education we're not going to spend too much

  293. time getting on regulations or anything but you used your skill set to build agencies.co it's not

  294. spelled like agency like a marketing agency it's agent like an ai agent or a double o agent um

  295. agencies.co i got that right right yeah yeah it's it's i i hate talking about the name sometimes

  296. because i also get how hard it is to if you tell them like oh yeah agencies.com they'll type in

  297. the word agencies and i'm like uh there's a t in there also by the way but that's a play on

  298. word like oh that's branding eventually if the branding goes well that'll be huge if branding

  299. doesn't oh well no it's uh it's great i've spent a long time in marketing and it's it's great

  300. and it's gonna be a sleeper because agent is gonna be a common like uh not everybody is

  301. aware of what we're even talking about when we say the agent so i'll kind of give a metaphor

  302. for my listeners that are still listening that this didn't get too techie but when you ask your

  303. phone what's the weather it has some settings like where you are and it knows the weather all

  304. around the world but it has to say what's specific to you or it has to kind of know where you're

  305. going and that's even a very smart version considered a calculator which doesn't know

  306. what two plus two is four is but it'll always give you the right answer when you get to something

  307. like an agent that has sources of databases of information it can call on you can have it do

  308. things like draft emails and invoices for you. It can operate your web browser for you. It's

  309. much smarter than finding out the weather. You could tell it to book a trip and check the weather

  310. someplace you're not. And these are just examples that healthcare industry is going to start taking

  311. over using these. You're going to see it in service. I have a shout out to Kripa. She is

  312. owner of robot lab i just met with her last night at a ribbon cutting and she had one of her robots

  313. there uh programmed with ai and just interacting with people passing information around but she

  314. has clients where it's serving food and um i can't stress enough to people that's why i do these

  315. series it's it's here it's not coming there it's just the fact that people might be weird with

  316. getting served robot by a food but hey i got a better one for you than food how about um have

  317. you ever seen a robot fight club robot fight club i might have seen clips on something i see so

  318. gyms do but go ahead so basically uh this was like two days ago so here in san francisco at

  319. the frontier tower we had a robot fight club happen where we had like robots fighting each

  320. other and people were just like you know doing whatever what happens on the background but it

  321. is the most lit coolest thing ever and i think more people are going to start paying money to

  322. see these like robots fight in the ring it's so entertaining and then watching people fight robots

  323. is also really interesting people fighting robots that gets a little bit weird that's

  324. it's trippy as fuck bro not for nothing i would even just for training um i trained jujitsu like

  325. to have another body that knows how to resist but a little bit to go through things um well yeah

  326. gyms do it mostly as a mock around like they'll have a combat fighting so i was aware of the

  327. concept haven't seen a robot fight um i would be curious if it just strikes if it's just like a

  328. really good muay thai stroker if you could teach it like some jujitsu and it grapples a bit and

  329. it's hard to hold down so from what i've seen uh it's like people that are like building their own

  330. so i'm sure they can train it to do whatever oh it's not all humanoid it's back like when we did

  331. the oh it's like uh battle bots yeah yeah well yeah it's basically that except like robots that

  332. are like humanoids oh geez that's sick dude it was so cool like like you need to come out here

  333. to san francisco sometime bro we got coolest shit ever i uh i am i i've been connecting with a

  334. couple people now i built this streaming setup just to play around with streaming did nothing

  335. with it but almost everybody i've been connecting with on threads is like a dj out that way uh

  336. producer out that way um so i've already said i just need enough people that i could go meet

  337. figure out because i'm sure an airbnb in the bay area is not exactly the cheapest but

  338. i mean it's like the same as rent it's like 3 000 a month oh i wouldn't be uh you want he wants me

  339. to go out for a month i'm gonna do like a couple days or something but we'll figure it out no no

  340. honestly it was a big step to do the remote interviews and get all the tech set up and then

  341. your boy billy took one look at my setup and he's like oh yeah you can send sound at the speed of

  342. light if you just do this setup build it on top of your existing server and i'm like so i gotta

  343. stop hanging out with you guys like you guys will tell me all the problems i made my last wordpress

  344. site ever after using replit for a couple days i went back and tried to update a page and i was

  345. like wait i can't just click this edit it and tell it to do it it feels so archaic but i'm glad you

  346. like replant now it's just it's so easy clients love it they get their shit gone we're good we

  347. make money yeah and i think that it's only gonna get smarter there's some places where it gets

  348. hicked up and it helps to just know logically i don't think it would run into this bug if it just

  349. did this first and let it go and run for a little bit but it's gonna predict those sorts of things

  350. it's going to get better so that's actually something very interesting you brought up that

  351. is a skill a non-engineer will have over an engineer that type of problem solving is very

  352. hard for traditional engineers because they can't see in their head how some of that payload works

  353. but because you are not you can pick it up way differently that's super super cool man and i

  354. see you still getting excited like you're like uh like showing a younger nephew et or whatever

  355. whatever frozen you know you watch it a ton of times and you watch it with a kid and they're all

  356. excited and hyped up it's like uh it's cool but i am uh i am i don't call myself smart but i'm

  357. observant enough to realize what parts you're playing in this whole thing i'm glad to kind of

  358. have a hand in it and say we can't push each other back and forth to do stuff you know but

  359. um how long are you on this route do you have uh you're raising venture capital right now do you

  360. want to shout out and talk a little bit about that we can land the plane um sure why not uh currently

  361. um so agencies uh which is my agi agent framework um it's basically intercom slash zendesk as one

  362. product um with investors right now we've raised already 20k we're raising 500k on a safe note

  363. uh on a three mil eval and uh right now we have um like 20k already in we just got done talking

  364. with another investor today um let's see where it goes it seems like that might close and if it

  365. we might have a lot of money uh taken care of so we'll we'll see what happens but it's it's very

  366. cool um right now just raising cash happens happens yeah uh but yeah so for those of you

  367. don't know the software zendesk that he compared it to i am a user of agencies.co it's a shameless

  368. plug if you go to to the designer.com you can talk with my agent that i built in about 5-10 minutes

  369. got it up quicker but spent some time to make it a little bit smarter so that it knows some

  370. of my terms and can it's like a faq page it's a ai agent chat bot that knows your pricing knows

  371. your style can answer things can give people links to specific pages and all you do is describe it in

  372. a prompt and put a little bit of code on your page or send it to your developer and it's up and

  373. running it's absolutely amazing and when I got it running I'm like I got to interview this guy

  374. thanks so what was it relatively easy then for you it was what I would say is that I am a

  375. and this is good i'm a tweaker like i would get the stream deck over the legion go because i want

  376. to be able to customize it or run a different operating system so it gave me just enough that

  377. i felt good adding the for lack of a better term the resource database but just out of the box if

  378. you tell it to be something i can see if i was like a baker or something how much knowledge it

  379. has right out of the box where you can just say i want you to be a baker boom put the coat on and

  380. now somebody's talking so i took more time than somebody normally would but i'm glad that i could

  381. take more time it makes it way more impressive cool i'm i'm very happy and uh how long do you

  382. think it took like in general like since you did take more time how long do you think it took like

  383. uh 15 20 minutes maybe i mean not bad not bad that's pretty good well i had things like my

  384. terms and conditions my pricing um it was interesting i actually had a whole pricing

  385. that was up already so it was able to make a pricing sheet and then just throw that into it

  386. so combination of chat gbt and the agencies and existing stuff that i already had so

  387. So we can talk more about some ways, some kind of hiccups that I had, but, you know, it's super solid product.

  388. The UI looks good.

  389. It wasn't hard to find anything.

  390. And I think if I want to commend you on the ability to name or the ability to have thing like the Neuralink is great.

  391. No spoilers, guys.

  392. Go to agencies.co and check it out.

  393. But it has a name or a brand.

  394. It's like you leaned into that 90s hacker.

  395. And I loved it.

  396. Thanks.

  397. I appreciate it.

  398. Cool.

  399. So anything else cool on the horizon you want to drop?

  400. Any predictions you want to do?

  401. I'm going to chop this up and people check out these interviews two, three years later.

  402. People still check out my first ones.

  403. So if you want to put in a time capsule.

  404. Yeah, I think we'll see our first billion dollar company within a year.

  405. All right.

  406. at the time of recording this it's about august 10th 2025 um i should have did that when i made

  407. my predictions which had gbt because they're resurfacing now people are going to think that

  408. i just said it like dude it's august 2025 and ai is going to change the world yeah it's a lot more

  409. impressive when people didn't know what it was but yeah i i think you're right i think that the

  410. solopreneur and i recognize this about a year year and a half ago when i tell people what i do

  411. they don't ask how but if they did it's leveraging ai tools it was always a speed runner but if i

  412. have a specific camera and i need to find it on ebay and that takes me 40 minutes to cross

  413. reference but i can just have an agent give me a list of seven based on different filters

  414. or take it a step further and say look for a description where the person doesn't know what

  415. they're selling they found it in an estate sale or something you know how many lenses are chilling

  416. out there for like 50 because they all look the same people don't know what the numbers mean so

  417. it's like uh running a podcast two businesses and training jujitsu still have time to grow

  418. my stardew valley farm almost every other week so i'm doing it you know i feel it brother i feel it

  419. brother i appreciate being here thank you so much for having me yeah man glad to be connected i'm
