Personal use in 11 episodes

"If I'm being honest, over 90% of my work with AI still happens using these two tools. ChatGPT and Codex are still my main drivers for work. The UI is pretty messy, but I find it very flexible and the fact that it's backed by OpenAI gives me some comfort that it's not leaking my sensitive information."

"You can use it for Hermes, you can use it for Codex. It's just useful to have a computer that's available 24/7. The reason I like using Hermes for chief of staff work versus Claude Code and Codex is because I can talk to it through Telegram while on the go. Claude Code and Codex, as great as they are, just feel more like a coding interface."

"Grok Bot now defaults to the best model in the market and right now that is Opus from Anthropic. So, previously Grok Bot was using Grok 4.7 as a default and the Grok models aren't necessarily bad, but they're nowhere near as smart as Opus... If you know Opus, you know that it's incredible at making motion graphics and editing videos."

Personal use in 8 episodes

"I don't actually use Hermes to write code. For doing that, I prefer to use Codex and Claude Code, which are more coding harnesses. The reason I like using Hermes for chief of staff work versus Claude Code and Codex is because I can talk to it through Telegram while on the go. Claude Code and Codex, as great as they are, just feel more like a coding interface."

"For Grok Bot, I think the killer use case is just having a team of bots here on the left and being able to get one bot to tell the other bots to do work and also add multiple bots to the same chat threads to kind of work off each other. I have a dedicated Grok Bot to do this — it's called X Scout — and it also uses browser use to find the top tweets."

"The best thing about this agent is that it just feels reliable to use every day. I used to be on OpenClaw and it broke with every update, but ever since I switched to Hermes over a month ago, it hasn't broken a single time. It has persistent memory, it learns as you chat with it, and it can auto-create skills to get better over time."

"The next one is Muse, which is free. And Muse is also incredible. I think it's super well-designed, probably the most well-designed out of all the personal agents. And it has a killer feature in that it can call US businesses for you... I've also made calls before to negotiate cable bills and more and it's just a massive timesaver."

"Granola is my favorite AI meeting notes app. I find it very useful to link it to Hermes because then I can ask questions about meetings I've had over the past week and ask it to share insights or action items from those meetings. Luckily, Granola setup is extremely simple — you just have to give it one line to connect using this MCP."

Warned against

ChatGPT negative
"For some reason they trained the model so that at the end of every conversation it's always like 'if you want I can also do X and Y.' And I got so annoyed about it that I kind of turned from ChatGPT."
Claude Code negative
"Browser use is the primary reason why I switched away from Claude Code to using ChatGPT and Codex as my daily driver. Browser and computer use is definitely much better in ChatGPT and Codex than Claude Code."
Google Docs negative
"I don't want to like write a Google like I hate writing Google Docs, dude. Like my entire life."
IMDb negative
"I've been using IMDb to track everything, but this interface leaves a lot to be desired. It's just like a straight-up list."
OpenClaw negative
"Hermes is the second personal agent that I ever used after I found Open Claw a little bit too unreliable."

Sonic mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"Also told it that Sonic, a Comcast competitor, just set up fiber in my neighborhood at roughly half the price."
NotebookLM mentions software

Mentioned in 2 episodes

"Yeah, I think NotebookLM is now part of the Gemini app, right?"
Anti-Gravity mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"I'm assuming everyone's using Antigravity or using AI all the time. I know on the engineering side the bottleneck becomes people are almost pushing too much code."
Gemini mentions software

Mentioned in 5 episodes

"And third, Gemini 4 works behind the scenes to plan multi-step events like this robot arm working through a lab task step-by-step."
ChatGPT mentions software

Mentioned in 7 episodes

"So, just like how everyone is using AI to build personal apps, for example, in ChatGPT, we might soon be approaching a time where people are going to build all their personal games using these world models."
1Password for Agent Platform mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"Another great thing that 1Password recently launched is called 1Password for Agent Platform. And based on my understanding, what this does is, if you're using Grokbot or another AI agent, it's using its own Linux computer... I think it's a little bit more secure than basically trying to install 1Password on every Linux machine that all your agents use."
Dropbox mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"So, for example, down here, let's say I want to disconnect Dropbox. So, basically I'm going to click this link and I can scroll all the way down and hit delete all."
Railway mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"So, this is an example phishing email, right? It claims it's from Railway, but in reality, the from address is actually railway-alerts.com, which looks totally sketchy."
GrokBot mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"The problem, of course, is that all the agents, whether it's Grokbot, Muse, Claude Duet, or ChatGPT dots, they're all running on Linux machines. So, I have no idea who actually did this."
Uber mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"I asked it to book an Uber ride because there's actually a default skill called Uber ride in Duet."
Mercury mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"Starting for example with the sponsor contract with Mercury, one of my partners."
Claude Cowork mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"Launch a research preview, iterate and prove that it works, and then probably in the future merge it back into the main Claude app, just like what they did with Cowork."
Astral mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"The primary drawback of Muse is that it's not really using a frontier model like Opus and Astra. So, sometimes it can make mistakes."
Lovable mentions software

Mentioned in 3 episodes

"It also comes with free AI tool discounts to Replit, Lovable, and a lot more popular tools as well."
Google Docs mentions software

Mentioned in 2 episodes

"And Human Review, which is the interface very much like Google Docs and what I just showed you, so you can provide AI feedback line by line."
Get Lucky mentions media

Mentioned in 1 episode

"Generate a funky disco house music with Lyria similar to Daft Punk's Get Lucky."
Credit Karma mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"I used to work at Credit Karma, and most of the US is probably living paycheck to paycheck. They're worried about their credit scores, trying to optimize credit card rewards."
Starcraft mentions other

Mentioned in 2 episodes

"I wanted to actually have it build a Star Fox style rail shooter with StarCraft assets. StarCraft is probably my number one favorite game."
Nano Banana mentions software

Mentioned in 1 episode

"Astra won on website design because it was the most clean and is able to leverage ChatGPT image generation, which to be honest with you, I think Gemini can do too with Nano Banana, but for some reason it didn't."
Star Fox mentions software

Mentioned in 2 episodes

"So, each time a new model comes out, I always like to ask it to build Star Fox to see how it is."
