If you want to get access to this episode and my next 30 episodes all ad free, so there'll be no ads on them, go check out my podcast AI Chat. You can go search for that on Spotify or Apple. It's AI Chat. I'm gonna post all of these news episodes, and I'm also posting interviews, like I just interviewed the CEO of Cohere. They've raised over a billion dollars for their AI model, talking about what they're gonna be spending the money on and the direction of the AI industry, along with all of this new stuff. So if you wanna go check it out with no ads for free, it is AI Chat.

Welcome back to the podcast. If you have followed us for any amount of time, you know we are huge Claude fans, Claude Code, all that stuff. But today's episode is about Codex, which is OpenAI's coding module. They've been releasing features that I think are extremely powerful and useful, but don't often get covered a lot, especially in social media, things like that. Today, we're gonna talk about a really interesting new, it's called Record and Replay, but it's basically a way to teach Codex, your tasks and have it learn as a skill, and then do it for you in the future. So it's really powerful, but we're gonna get into all the details. Before we do, Jaeden, why don't you tell them about our school community?

Yes, so every single week, Jamie and I post a bonus episode over on our school community, and we do a whole live stream. So anyone can get access to our free live stream. We talk about how we're growing and scaling our businesses. This week, Jamie showed one of his businesses, we've been working on for a long time, the current results of all of his marketing campaigns towards it and what his plan is going forward. We also do episodes where I show how I've built multiple apps, multiple SaaS, multiple businesses, and how we market all of those tools. So if you've built anything really cool with AI and you wanna learn how to market it, come over to the AI Hustle School Community. It's free to join. I think you get access to five videos. We have about 100 videos we've recorded. And if you wanna access to the full library, it's $9 or $19 a month, and you get access to this incredible community. So it's free to come join. It's free to watch our live streams. If you wanna get access to all our videos where we explain everything, there's a premium option as well. There's a link in the description. We would love to have you. And by the way, this free version is like a new thing we're trying. So we haven't done this for like the last year. It's been exclusively paid. So if you wanna get access to the free thing now, I would get on it as soon as possible. Okay, let's talk about what's going on with Codex. I'm super stoked about this. What's kind of crazy is, I know everything going on with AI. I cover it every day on my daily news show AI Chat. Somehow this one slipped through the cracks for me, and this is one of the biggest features I think might actually make me switch from being exclusively Claude Code. And when I say like exclusively Claude Code, I have two Claude Max subscriptions. So I'm paying $400 a month for Claude Max. I get so much use out of it. I've built multiple apps, multiple SaaSs, tons of cool stuff. Rebuilt whole companies that I had paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past to be created like apps.
But there is a new tool that just came out of Claude, or that just came out of OpenAI's Codex that I think rivals Claude. Like I'm actually probably going to go sign up for this and cancel one of my, at least one of my Claude Max subscriptions is going to get canceled if this thing works as well as they say. But essentially how record and replay works is you are going to be giving Codex access to record what you're working on. So if you have a workflow where you, you know, you showed one where he has like these YouTube videos and he has to go download the video and he's got a spreadsheet with the titles and descriptions of different videos and he'll go copy and paste it from the spreadsheet and then you'll paste it into YouTube, whatever. He's got this whole workflow. We all have workflows for everything we do, but what he's doing is he's giving ChatGPT access to watch his screen, watch him do this full workflow and it basically builds like, it builds like a video that turns into a skill kind of like Claude WebMD skills and it creates this file that you can then upload to ChatGPT and it will repeat that same skill again in the future. So with Claude, you can explain what you want it to do and then you can try to get it to do it. And then you can say, hey, turn that into a skill. And you're kind of working with it that way. In this case, you literally just let it watch you do the thing, click through the whole process and then it repeats it again perfectly. I am so stoked for this. Jamie, is this something that you would use? Could you switch from Claude for this? Where do you think we're at right now?
