  • Your Own Personal AI Assistant

    Last week’s video about using ChatGPT to code an app I’ve always wanted went viral (for me at 1400 views).

    And life moves fast.

    See, ChatGPT needs a $20/month subscription & the engineers make sure to keep the AI on the “only acceptable answers about approved topics” track.

    Not any more.

    There’s a mad genius who has been working to create a chatbot like ChatGPT that only take 8Gigs of space on your computer & it only needs 4Gigs of RAM to run.

    Yesterday he released instructions on how to get it running on a Mac or Windows machine.

    So I installed it.

    How is it?

    Very cool.

    Now it’s not as accurate or powerful as ChatGPT, but it does outperform on several fronts:

    • It runs on my computer without the need for an internet connection
    • I could learn how to train it myself & have exactly the assistant I want
    • I could learn how to train it on my Obsidian database of notes, scripts, and writings so I could theoretically have a virtual “me” that I could bounce ideas off of and/or pick my own brain / search my memory like I’m having a conversation with myself.

    Exciting, right?

    Want to try it out? I posted the link to the instructions in my private community that I call “ZAVANT University.

    Join up here and give it a try!

  • Here’s The Program I Made (With Chat GPT)

    It’s been awhile since I’ve been this impressed. Maybe back when I saw my first Cirque show in Vegas. In 2007.

    Dang. Chat GPT 4 is sliiiiiiiiiick.

    Watch the video.

    Little bit of context.

    Sometimes I like to memorize decks of cards.

    Not just the sequence.

    No, that’s too easy.

    I want to know it 1 through 52 by heart.

    I want to know it 52 through 1 just as well.

    I want you to name a card and I know what position it’s at.

    I want you to name a position and I know what card is there.

    I also want to instantly know what card comes before the card/position that you pick.

    AND the card that comes after it.

    You might think those all happen together when I memorize a deck, but they’re really each a different dimension I have to encode separately & train each specifically.

    JUST NORMAL MENTALIST STUFF.

    So I’ve wanted a program where I can put in a sequence of cards and have it quiz me on all that stuff.

    There are some apps that do some of that, but none that do exactly what I want.

    So I decided to make one even though I don’t know how to code.

    And I did it in less time than it took me to make the video about it.

    I got it working on my laptop, then I got it working on my website so anyone on the internet can try it out.

    Mind thoroughly blown.

    If you want to see what I tried first, why it didn’t work, and the couple iterations I went through before nailing it give the video a watch. I also share the link where you can give it a shot.

    Whatcha waiting for? Go see what’s possible in this brave new world!

    You’re still here?

    Ok, let me ask: What do you want to make with it? Any fun ideas you want to try out?

    I’d love to know what you’re working on.

  • ChatGPT To The Rescue

    ChatGPT To The Rescue

    Awhile back I posted an article on the biggest thing keeping you back from building a sustainable business from your knowledge & experience. It’s essential for identifying this massive roadblock that you may not even know about.

    This video is step two: how do I get around it?

    Turns out that ChatGPT is a fantastic tool for people who are too smart for their own good.
