6 INSANE Codex Ways I Use Codex To Make Money

Codex has been insane in terms of generating revenue, and I'm gonna show you six crazy ways where it is actually making money for me and my business. Now, look, I get it, everyone's talking about Opus 48 right now, but I'm telling you, you gotta pay attention to Codex because the things that it can do right now, it's absolutely crazy, so let's get into it. So the first thing I wanna show you is that we actually have an agent called Picasso that can make ad creative at scale. So this is an example of ad creative that we might make, and you can see that it looks pretty damn good, this is a set of 100 Now, what I was thinking is that, this is sitting in our GitHub repo, and I want to have the ability to fork this repo and then tie it into what we do from an outbound sales standpoint. And so, if you think about it this way, if you're able to basically, you're able to make ads, custom ads, for every single prospect that you send outreach to, you're gonna stand out way more than anybody else. And it's high quality ads like this, that looks good, right? And so, what I wanna bring your attention to now is, if we take a look at my Codex, you can see it's actually working right now. So, inside of my Codex, if you look over here, so you can see it's called Picasso to Outbound over here, okay? So, by the way, it's been working for the last 28 hours in terms of forking this over. And it looks like it should be done soon, but all I did was I took the fork of the, I took the GitHub repo and I forked it, which means that I just splintered it off to what I'm trying to do from an outbound standpoint. And so think of it, if you have an ICP, an ideal client profile that you're looking to reach out to, maybe you have a Dream 100, these are the top 100 accounts that you're trying to win. Well, you can do that now. So not only can we do this with Picasso, but we can also use the Clickflow MCP, which is the AEO SEO software that we have, which generates high quality content. And we can use it saying, hey, we did research, we know what your angles are. We know who your competitors are. We think you should be making this content over here. Here's five examples. Would you like us to do more?
You can do the same thing with creative. You do 10 examples. You don't have to do 100 Here's an example. Would you like us to do more? And if you're able to do that, that's gonna generate more pipeline for you, and it's ultimately gonna grow your company a lot faster. And so that's how you want to think about doing stuff that's outside the box. And so the cool thing is, my amazing team, Chris and Eugenu, they built this out. And I'm just like, okay, well, if you, you're very active and you have a team helping you already and you can fork this stuff, amazing. Or if you can find other stuff on GitHub to fork, that's gonna work out well for you too. And the cool thing is when you use the slash code command inside of Codex, you can do this with other tools too, but I just find that using 5.5 and then using Codex has been great. And then even my Hermes, my autonomous agents have been great for that as well. So I do want to give credit. Number two would be a little bonus here, giving credit to using Codex, not just the app, but the way that you can use it with Hermes, which is our autonomous agent, that is extremely powerful too.
I found it generally to be more reliable than using Claude for it, and bear in mind I pay for both. So I'm going to let this continue to work over here, but again, you can let this work for... I've seen people let this work for days at a time, and it's been really good. And I do also want to call a little bonus here.
If I look at the usage, it's actually pretty good. You can see the usage over here.
They're very generous with their usage limits, whereas when using Claude, you can actually run through them very quickly. So just keep that in mind. All right, so number three, check out this goal over here. I've been working on this for the last 72 hours or so. So for my company, for Single Brain, we're trying to recruit. We're trying to recruit engineers. We're trying to recruit customer success people. We're trying to recruit really smart marketers. So we are in a recruiting binge right now, and we pay for a handful of tools. And so I'll give you an example. We pay for one tool right now that basically is a sourcing agent for us. It finds people's personal emails and it sends them their emails. And they're pretty generous with their limits. Now, the other thing I'll say too, is that we use LinkedIn, we pay for LinkedIn Recruiter. We also pay for Instantly as well. We have inboxes that we use for sending cold emails so we can send more volume. We have 10 inboxes just for sending out cold emails when it comes to recruiting. And we haven't been using those. And so think about it this way. Instead of just using that one recruiting agent that's just putting people into sequences, what if you can take all the contacts that they found, send them cold emails, customize each one, not just using the sequences because you want to customize these. So each one is customized, that's one piece. But then the other piece is, you're also combining it with outreach from your LinkedIn. So you're DMing and you're adding these people to your profile as well, so they can see the content that you're continuing to put out there. Not only that, you can also tie it. So like I just mentioned earlier, if we're using instantly to send out emails, you can tie it in with that. So you're not tied into one platform. And so if you can daisy chain a couple of these things when it comes to a recruiting standpoint, from a recruiting standpoint, you're gonna stand out versus other people because you're taking a multi-threaded approach. And so for me, this matters quite a bit because if you generate all these sales, you can generate all the sales in the world, but if you don't do a good job with recruiting, that's gonna be an issue, right? You gotta bring in the best people. But not only that, what if you build something like this and then you sell it? You can sell this recruiting agent to people and people are gonna find that solution is very good, right? And so you can see in this case, this thing's continuing to work over here and you can see, okay, we're testing this right now. So get the next 10 qualified SEO paid media recruits that we should be having in here. And this is continuing to work. You can see what's happening over here. And Occasion is going to ask me to review people over here. I review it and then it gets back to work.
