1. Claude Basics and Model Selection
Introduces the five levels of Claude users and explains the first upgrade path: understanding Claude's different models. Covers Haiku, Sonnet, Opus, and Fable 5, along with when to use each one.
I've spent over a thousand hours inside of Claude, using it to automate my day-to-day tasks, building apps and websites, and I've even been able to use it to launch a multi-million dollar business.And if you've tried it, I can guarantee you that you're barely scratching the surface of what this tool can actually do.So, in this video, I want to condense all of my knowledge on Claude into one easy to follow guide so you can use the most powerful tool we've ever had access to to its fullest potential.Now, there are five different levels of Claude users, and most of you watching this video are still at level one, the rookie.The rookie is somebody that is using Claude maybe once, twice a week, and treating it like a glorified search engine.They use Claude directly in the browser and they just ask it everyday questions.
Give me a workout routine for today at the gym.Help me figure out how to cook this steak properly.Just regular average everyday questions.And what's crazy is that this is where most people's usage of AI comes to a halt.Like the vast majority of people are using these tools like this every single day.And while I think that's great, there's so much more that you can do with these things with the same amount of effort.The biggest problem with staying stuck at this first level is that Claude knows absolutely nothing about you.And anytime you ask it questions, you're going to get super generic answers.So, let's talk about how to go from rookie to the next stage.By the end of this video, I'm going to take you through all five of these stages, and you are going to be at the master level in Claude.
But the first thing that you need to do to make your first level up is understand the different models inside of Claude.So if we go inside of Claude here, you will see this button that allows us to select different models.These are basically different people that are going to put different levels of effort towards your questions and problems.The first one is called Haiku.Haiku is going to answer your questions as fast as possible, but it's not going to do any extreme deep research.For those quick Google type of questions, this is where you want to go.I'll be honest, I don't really use this one at all.Most of my tasks are done inside of Sonnet.Sonnet is like an improved version of Haiku.It's still really fast, but is going to do a little bit more work and give you higher quality answers to your questions.
Now, as you climb up the ranks here, every single one of these is going to take longer to answer your questions and is going to cost more credits per inquiry.So, this is something that you have to be mindful of.I see a lot of people getting into this tool, putting it on Opus, which is one of the most complex models, and burning through all their usage for the most basic of tasks.You'll be able to do pretty much everything that you ever want to do here inside of Sonic 5.Next is Opus.This is a much more advanced model.This is what you want to use when you want to do deep research.When you want to build full-fledged tools, when you really want to make something special, this is the tool that you want to use.But it is so slow and it costs so many credits that nine times out of 10, you're not going to be using this.
And the last one, which is absolutely insane, is called Fable 5.Now, this tool is one of the, if not the most impressive tool that the internet has ever seen.With just a couple of words, you can build a full-fledged working video game, mobile app, website.You can create an entire story board for a 2hour long movie with this tool.It is absolutely ridiculous what it's capable of.I can make an entire video on how to use Fable 5, but we're not going to get too deep into it in this video because most of you guys are not at that level yet.It's just not necessary.
2. Importing Memory for Personalization
Shows how to bring knowledge from ChatGPT or other AI tools into Claude so responses become more personalized. The speaker demonstrates importing memory and explains why this improves answer quality.
So now that you understand the models, the next thing that I would suggest you to do is import your knowledge base from chatgbt or any other tools that you have been using.I know for myself long before I started using claude, I was using chatgbt and I told it a lot of stuff.It knows a lot about my business.It knows a lot about my personal life, my fitness goals.And when I jumped into Claude, it had no idea about any of those things.So my first real pro tip of this video is to import your knowledge base from the other AI tools that you were using before.So let me show you how to do this.You go right here into Claude.You click on the settings and then you go down into memory and then you go to import memory from other AI providers.
You start import.And then you copy this prompt into this AI tool.So I'll do it real quick.All right.I'm here in chat GBT.I'm pasting this prompt that it gave us and then we're going to send it in.And now chat's going to pull all the information that it has about me.And then we're going to be able to feed this back into Claude.The reason why this is important is because now when you bring Claude questions, it answers it specifically for you instead of giving you a generic answer like you would find on Google.So this is a little breakdown that it came up with of everything that it knows about me from the last couple of months.You could just copy this right here and then you could paste it directly back into this box on Claude and now Claude is going to have your full knowledge base so you can get some better advice moving forward.
So just with these tips alone, you will be able to have a much better experience using this tool.
3. Using Projects and Better Prompts
Explains the jump from rookie to casual by using projects instead of general chat. Demonstrates creating project instructions, generating better prompts with Claude, and using a financial planning example to show more tailored results.
But if you want to go to the next stage, some other things are going to have to change.So let's talk about how to go from rookie to casual.The casual is somebody that is actually starting to understand the potential of these tools.Instead of using it just to ask questions, we're actually using it to do stuff for us.We're figuring out how to integrate it into our workflow and take a lot of the stuff off of our backs.Instead of just chatting to it in general, we're building custom projects for the specific task that we want to do.And the casual is finally starting to understand the difference between a bad and a good prompt.The big thing that you need to start doing if you want to get to this next level is start using projects.So, most people just chat directly to Claude here in the new section.
But what you need to do is go over to the projects tab and create a new project for the specific thing that you want to work on.Let's say I was using Claude to help me manage my finances.Instead of just talking to it openly, I would make a new project called financial management.And then we can tell it specifically what we want.Another pro tip, and this is not sponsored or anything, but I use this tool called Whisper Flow.and I literally can't live without it.It makes it so you don't have to type and you can just talk to your computer, but it's actually good.So, we can go and say something like, I am trying to build a financial manager here inside of Claude to help me track my budget and figure out areas to optimize my investments.And you can see it perfectly does it there.
And then we hit create project.So, now we have our financial management project.Even if we started asking questions in here like this, it's already going to be 10 times better than if we were asking in the general chat.But there's a way to take this to the next level.If you look on the right side, you'll see a couple things.There's instructions, files, memory, scheduled.What we want to do is we want to put some instructions.So, we can click right here on add.And then what we can do is actually go to Claude and have it create the instructions for us.So we can say create instructions for a financial management project here on Claude.I basically want my own financial advisor that will read my statements and give good financial advice about my investments and general spending.I know that's a whole mess of words, but watch it will take that mess of words and create really high quality instructions that we can then feed into this project.
One of the biggest leaps that I took with AI was when I stopped coming up with all the prompts myself and I started asking it to help develop the prompts for me.It knows how to talk to itself.So, the quality of the prompts and instructions that it creates are going to be 10,000 times better than what you come up with.So, here are the project instructions that it came up with.We can go click on copy, go back to our project, and then we can add this as the instructions.And now let's just give it a sample question and see what it comes up with.I make $5,000 a month.My rent is $1,500 a month and my other expenses are about $1,000 a month.Give me a plan to invest my money so that I can become a millionaire by the time I'm 50 years old.
So, now that it has the knowledge base about me from Chad GBT about my age and what I'm into, and now it also has the instructions that we fed it, it's going to give us a oneofone answer thatis specific to our situation.And as you can see, it's given us an extremely in-depth plan on exactly what to invest in, how much to put in, how long it's going to take, and even broke it down in a graph and told usexactly when we can expect to hit that goal.So, let's say I'm 28, but let's say I'm 30 now.It says if you invest for 20 years with this strategy down below, and you don't miss anything, you will achieve the goal of $1.3 million comfortably by 50 years old.We're still barely scratching the surface of what's possible with this tool, and you'll see in the next couple of stages how crazy things can get once you understand how to use it.
But what's crazy is just with this level alone, I was able to launch a side business that I grew to over $150 a day in sales on day number one.And I documented the entire process of launching that business live.I created a free course that breaks down exactly how I did it from A to Z.Inside of this training, you will learn everything you need to know about actually making money with this tool.Today we're learning about the fundamentals, but if you guys want to learn how to actually build a profitable business with Claude, I'm going to put the link to the free course down in the description below.And for everybody that gets access to that course, I'm also going to be building a Shopify store for you with AI.The reason why I'm able to do this is because I'm partnered directly with Shopify and they pay us for every single person that we bring on board.
So, we can give away all of our training and tools for free.I don't know how much longer we're going to be running this.So, click the link and check out the free course while you still got a chance.
4. Automation with Connectors and Tasks
Covers the transition from casual to pro by using the Claude app, connectors, and scheduled tasks. The speaker demonstrates linking Gmail and Calendar, then setting up a daily business briefing automation.
So, now let's talk about how to go from being a casual to being a pro.You see, the casual users are still using Claude in their browser.They're not using the actual app on their computer.They're not connecting it directly to the things that they use every single day.They essentially treat Claude like an assistant instead of an actual employee that's in the field doing stuff for them.Once you get to this pro level, you're able to set up Claude to do stuff automatically for you every single day like an employee.I've replaced a few of the people that work for me because of some of these automations that I've been able to set up with Claw.And you might think that that's evil, but that's just the way that the world is heading.The people that have the skill set to create these automations with AI are going to be some of the most valuable people in the market today.
This pro level is when you can actually go and approach local businesses and sell your skills with AI to them.When you hear about these people that are doing AI agencies, a lot of them are here at this pro level.So, how can you get there?You first got to understand the difference between Claude and Claude co-work.So, everything we've been doing so far today has been here inside of the browser on regular Claude.But the real sauce is here inside of the app.You need to go and download the app right now because it gives you access to Claude co-work on a local server.You still have access to co-work on the browser, but when it's on the local server, it memorizes every single thing that you tell it.And more importantly, it can actually access your computer and do stuff for you inside of your desktop.
Basically, chat is like a conversational thing.You could talk back and forth with it.co-work can actually go out and execute tasks.And where it really gets crazy is once you start to use connectors.Connectors allow you to connect Claude directly to the tools that you use every day.You can connect it to your Gmail, to your Slack, to your calendar.And now it has access to not only read data from those tools, but also write data.So, it can put events on your calendar.It can send emails and it can manage your conversations with your staff.For example, I have an automation that runs every single day that tells me exactly how well my business performed.It pulls data directly from all my payment processors, from all my team conversations, and even from Facebook ads directly, and it tells me exactly how much profit we made every single day.
This is still relatively basic to what you can do with these connectors, but it's a great starting point.So now I want to show you how to set up one of these daily automations for yourself.The first thing you have to do is go into your settings and go over to the connectors tool.And then you can see the most popular apps that people are connecting like Gmail and Slack.So for the sake of this video, I'm going to go ahead and connect Gmail real quick.All right.So now we've connected Gmail directly to our claude.And then just for the sake of this video, we'll also connect something else like calendar.What I'm going to have it set up now is like a morning business brief.So, we can go into Claude and ask it to create a prompt for this and then feed it into co-work and it will do the task for us every single day.
So, let's make the prompt.This is the prompt that it came up with.It says, "Every morning, put together a short briefing for me and keep the whole thing under 200 words."And we can go ahead and paste that.Actually, we can copy this whole thing right here.Now, we can go back into Claude.We can go here to co-work and then we can click paste and it will start this automation process.So now as you can see it says I'm going to set this up as a scheduled task that fires every single day.We can click on schedule and now the scheduled task is set up to run.I'm going to go ahead and put this prompt in the description for you guys if you want to follow along.But remember you can always create the prompts yourself just by asking Claude.We'll ask it show me an example of what this will look like just so we can see what the daily brief is going to look like.
So, this is a little sample brief that it cooked up for us.So, there's nothing urgent in our inbox.Calendar today is pretty calm and it gave a little update of AI drop shipping, which is our industry for this example.You can continue working on this to make it as detailed as you like, but I just wanted to show you guys how to set up a scheduled task every single day.
5. Claude Code and Mastery Workflow
Introduces Claude Code for building apps and websites from prompts and screenshots, then shows a real dashboard example. Ends with the master level concept of orchestrating multiple agents to automate complex workflows.
And this is great, but it is nothing compared to what we're going to be talking about next, and that is becoming a creator.Claude has a feature that most of you have heard of called Claude Code.And this tool can build anything you can imagine with just a couple of words.You can literally say build a website for a sneaker store.And it will build a full-fledged functional website with code, images, logos, graphics, and functionality in like 15 minutes.You could say, "Build me an app to help me track my calisthenics workouts."And it will do it in 5 minutes or less.It is absolutely insane.I think most people hear about this tool of claw code and they get super intimidated because they hear the word code and they think that they have to be some sort of developer or somebody that has a huge
experience with computers.But no, you talk to this tool just like how you would talk to any of your friends and it can make magic happen.Let me show you a fully functional app that I built with Claude Code.This is actually the dashboard for my free course that I talked about earlier.So everybody who gets access to that gets access to this directly.And this has so much functionality.We have the training.We have live Q&A calls.We have a community.We have a dashboard that updates dynamically as you progress.We have a support system and AI chatbot.And the craziest thing is that this entire app was built with cloud code.I'm not an expert developer or anything, but we were able to get this launched in like 2 or 3 days.I could do a whole video in and of itself on Claude Code, but let me just give you the 30 second rundown on how I built this and how you can use this tool to build cool stuff.
So, the first thing that you want to do is get a screenshot, a visual reference of what you are trying to build.Then you want to go into Claude, make a new chat, and ask it to create a prompt to make a dashboard like this for my online course.Now, I'm going to change the model to sonnet so we can get something a little bit better.And now it's going to give us a prompt that we can feed into the cloud code and create that tool that we want to make.The pro tip for this section is giving it a visual reference.With this, you can pretty much get exactly what you're looking for.So, make sure you have an example to show it when you're trying to create.So, now it's given us this build prompt.We can copy this.We can now click this button and go into cloud code.
And then we can paste our new prompt inside of there.To make it even perform better, I'm going to feed it the screenshot that we just took.Let me take another one.Actually the more visual references you can give it the better.So now we can paste this into cloud code and then we can hit open and we can hit trust workspace and now it's going to build this locally on our computer.So we can hit enter and now it's going to start working on this dashboard.Cloud code is going to ask a ton of questions so it gets the build right.In this case I'm just going to go and say other and say I'm just trying to build an example real quick as a demo of your capabilities.If I was really going to build this, I would do build it as a live page.
You can also work on the prompt directly in here.But let's just do this and let's see the example that it comes up with for us.Just as I expected, it literally cloned the app one to one just based off of a screenshot and a simple prompt.Now, to make it fully functional, we would have to spend obviously a little bit more time, but this is pretty impressive, guys.It took around 10 minutes to create this, and all it was was with a simple prompt.We can even open it up live in our dashboard.And yeah, this is just absolutely insane.There's only one last step to really taking your Claude usage to the next level, and that is becoming a master.And the simplest way I could describe this level is that you are the puppet master orchestrating a bunch of little agents that are going out to do all the things that I showed you today by themselves.
This is the most advanced level in this entire video, so we're not going to spend too much time on this, but you can get to the point where you only communicate directly with your main agent.And you can set it up so you don't even have to talk to him through Claude.You can connect this directly to Telegram and you can talk with him and tell him to go do something.For example, you could have him tracking the entire stock market and give you notifications when it's a good time to buy something.And then he can send that to your investor agent who can then go and execute those investments for you.And then all that can go into your financial analyst agent who can help you understand how well your portfolio is performing.This can get real crazy really fast, but this should be the endgame for anybody who wants to master their usage with AI.
To be honest, I don't even have this level of system set up, but I've seen some people in my circle that do.And it pretty much automates all the tasks for them, and they don't even have to log in cloud.They can literally text it like they're texting anybody else.So, yeah, this is the real endgame of cloud usage.You deploy small agents to do all the things that I talked to you about today.and you have a master agent that runs the entire operation.We've never had a tool like this in our entire lives and I hope that this video help you learn how to use it a little bit better.If you guys want to see how I made over $100,000 in 90 days just from using Claude AI, then click the video that's on the screen right now.I'll see you in the next one.
