I sit down with Riley Brown to get a hands-on tour of OpenAI's Codex, which he argues is the most powerful single interface for using AI agents today. Riley walks me through how Codex unifies vibe coding, knowledge work, browser use, computer use, and automations into one app, all running on GPT 5.5. I come in as a complete Codex skeptic who has spent most of my time in Claude Code, and Riley shows me skills, plugins, projects, Remotion, Chronicle, and the in-app browser to make his case. By the end, the question becomes whether the era of separate tools for documents, decks, code, and research is collapsing into a single super app.

In this solo episode, I walk through ChatGPT Images 2.0 and show exactly how to use it to build creative assets that move a business forward, from brand visual directions to UI mockups to apparel mockups and editorial illustrations. I share the AI tool that surprised me this week (Noscroll), hand over a startup idea I want someone to steal (a learn-to-draw app with AI feedback on every sketch), and give you a five-step framework for finding and building a vertical AI business. I end with a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote that fired me up and a reminder to go conquer the day.

I sit down with Imran Muthuvappa to get a hands-on walkthrough of Hermes Agent, a personal AI agent that ships with built-in memory, 40+ tools, and pre-installed skills out of the box. Imran walks me through why he migrated from OpenClaw, how to install Hermes on a Mac or even an Android phone via Termux, and how he cut his token spend by roughly 90% using OpenRouter. We get into agent design (one agent vs. multiple), connecting Hermes to Telegram and Obsidian, and the kinds of prompts that turn a personal agent into a daily operating system. By the end, I have a practical roadmap to install Hermes, pick a model, and start automating real parts of my life and business

I go live and get my hands dirty with Claude Design, Anthropic's new design tool in research preview. Across roughly an hour, I run a real workflow end-to-end: pulling a product idea from Idea Browser, generating wireframes, iterating into visual designs, building a pitch deck, and attempting a 30-second video ad. I share my first reactions in real time and take feedback from the chat. By the end, I land on a clear verdict — best-in-class for wireframes and visuals, weaker for video — and give you a practical sense of where this tool fits in your workflow.

In this episode I sit down with my friend Sirio, one of the most creative AI minds I know, to break down Seedance V2. Sirio walks us through the exact use cases, prompts, and tactics he's using to build on top of this model inside his platform Enhancor, covering multi-input generation, virtual try-ons, ad translation, AI influencers with lip sync, video extension, and 3D product template replacement. I wanted this to go beyond the "look how cool this is" tutorials and focus on how creators and founders can actually build businesses, run ads, and produce creative assets with it. By the end, you'll have a practical playbook for Seedance V2 and a clear view of where it fits alongside other models like Kling 3, Veo, and fine-tuned options.

I sit down with Amir, who's back on the pod, and we walk through the full stack of taking a business idea from zero to a validated, A/B-tested landing page in a single session. I use Idea Browser's new MCP integration with Claude Code to pull project context, generate a lead magnet concept, design a landing page in Paper, and then wire up analytics and live experiments through HumbleLytics — all without writing a single line of front-end code manually. We cover the tools, the workflow, and why this stack creates massive arbitrage for marketers and builders right now.

I sit down with Ras Mic to break down how AI agents actually work and why most people are using them wrong. Ras Mic explains the mechanics of context windows, makes the case that agent md files are largely unnecessary, and shares his step-by-step methodology for building custom skills that make agents dramatically more productive. Whether you're coding with Claude Code or automating workflows with OpenClaw, this episode gives you the foundational knowledge to stop wasting tokens and start getting real results from your AI tools.

I sit down with Flo, founder of Lindy, to get a live demo of their new product, Lindy Assistant, an AI executive assistant that lives in iMessage and works proactively across email, calendar, Slack, Notion, and 100-plus other tools. Flo walks me through a real day of his own Lindy usage, showing how it drafts email replies, prepares meeting briefs, updates CRMs, and handles calendar changes without being asked. We compare Lindy to OpenClaw and Claude's ecosystem, talk pricing, edge-case power users, and where Lindy goes over the next five years.

I break down the seven distribution strategies every vibe coder and builder needs to actually get customers. With 200,000 new projects launching daily on platforms like Lovable, the real bottleneck is distribution and I believe the wealthiest people over the next decade will be marketers, because code is now commoditized. I walk through each strategy with step-by-step instructions you can start this week, from MCP servers and programmatic SEO to acquiring newsletters and building AI repurposing engines.
