[00:00:00:00 - 00:02:06:23] Daniel Burstein Thanks for joining us today, as I mentioned. If you can, you're welcome to turn on your camera. We've made everyone presenters, just a way for us to work together a little better. This session is called Build Together, Create Your First Conversion-Focused System Driven by AI. And I will be entirely honest with you. We came up with the idea like 10 minutes before our last AI Guild session, when we were going through, you know, what we were presenting, we thought like, hey, would it be helpful for people to get kind of a more hands-on session so they could, as the name says, build together? And so that's why we just mentioned the session, hey, do you folks want to get on? Let's all try to get on together and kind of get our hands a little dirty and build more. And we got a lot of yeses pouring in, so we're trying this out. This is the first one we're testing. So feel free to give us feedback, ways to improve. But the general idea is, I'm going to introduce Quinn in just a second for those of you who don't know him. Quinn's going to walk you through step-by-step some of the kind of technical components of building that first conversion-focused AI system. The system that, as Flint was teaching our Wednesday session about landing pages, and if anyone hasn't seen that session, we have the replay and the AI guild. Feel free to use the chat, I can send you the link. But the general idea was, this is kind of AI is a two-way system you can use now, right? Yes, you can use AI and you could be, Quinn's going to show you how to add a custom agent to your website to help improve conversion. But the bonus of that is, you're getting so much rich customer information and customer data so you can serve customers better with your website. And then when we do move into the future of the headless AI CMS website. So that's what we're going to go over today. Quinn's going to show you a lot of step-by-step. I don't want anyone to feel like, if they can't keep up, they're left behind, or they're ahead or whatever it is, everyone's going to move at your own pace. We're going to have the general information on the screen that Quinn's going through. Please, by all means, use the chat. We have a few extra people on here, just to help you one-on-one in the chat if you need any help there. Quinn posted in the AI guild some ways to use Claude and chat GPT. If that's your thing, if you're super users, if they know your value prop, you can use those. There's other skills you can use too. But there's other ways to build that Quinn will show as well with different prompts. So really, there's a lot of ways to go through it. [00:02:08:01 - 00:02:19:08] Daniel Burstein Follow what's going on the screen, use the chat, we'll help you one-on-one. After today, we'll send the replay. If you didn't have a chance to follow something you want to see on the screen, but also in the AI guild circle community, you can ask your specific questions. [00:02:20:09 - 00:02:51:00] Daniel Burstein With that, that's just kind of a general idea of what we're going to do today. But with that, let me introduce our main facilitator, presenter, teacher, workshop host, Quinn McLaughlin. So Quinn has been with Mech Labs and Institute for, I mean, over a decade, well over a decade. And I'll say that the biggest compliment I ever gotten from Quinn, we were at IRCE in Chicago, which is a big internet retail event. And if you've ever been there, that's a McCormick place. So it's like this huge event, 100, 1000 [00:02:52:08 - 00:03:08:22] Daniel Burstein different people out on the show floor, different exhibitors. And we were running the main session, they were interviewing all of the speakers in the media center. And I had more than one person come up to me. And honestly, I think it's just because I look old, because I had nothing to do with what Quinn was doing. [00:03:10:04 - 00:03:45:10] Daniel Burstein Quinn was doing a lot of live ops, who were just helping people with their websites right there on the spot, a lot of really big brands. And they would come up to me and they'd say, I got more help from that guy Quinn than all those people out on that big show floor. So Quinn has that background, that really good background about our methodology as an optimizing conversion and landing pages and all that stuff for many, many years. But in the past year plus and more with Metclabs AI, he's rolled up his sleeves. He's been helping a lot of people and companies actually building when he's gonna show you today. So he's got a lot of experience with that. So with that Quinn, why don't you kind of give us a little, a few examples of what you've been building. [00:03:46:14 - 00:04:15:02] Quin McGlaughlin Absolutely, thank you, Dan. And welcome everybody to Build Together. Thank you so much for joining us. I will show you a few examples here in just a moment of what we're gonna talk about building today and how to do it and how do you, we're gonna kind of use that as an illustration and an example to show you some of the different pieces of the platform and how they all fit together and how to get started navigating and finding things and being able to start using the platform and building builds. [00:04:16:17 - 00:04:51:00] Quin McGlaughlin It's our first tutorial session since the release of our new UX. So there's more than we could possibly cover or do or learn in one session. And we will have more of these sessions and we will get into other types of builds and other aspects of the platform in the future. But if you're already familiar with the platform, some of this stuff might be familiar to you. If you're not familiar with the platform, then you're in the right place because we're gonna hopefully show you some things that'll make using it feel comfortable and easy and get you started in the right direction and on the right path. [00:04:52:14 - 00:04:53:16] Quin McGlaughlin So first of all, [00:04:55:04 - 00:05:19:18] Quin McGlaughlin today's focus and what we're gonna learn how to build is a lead generation ADS. And that's a term that if you're not familiar with, I'll explain along with some other key terms, but an ADS is an agent delivery system. And the agent delivery system is what we actually use to deploy agents in a live environment and to create tools and [00:05:21:00 - 00:06:20:08] Quin McGlaughlin agents that are like the ones I'll show you here. This is a website for the Madison Beach Hotel. And they are owned by the Hilton Group. This is a live ADS that's been on their website for months now. And every day people come here and they talk to this live interactive agent. They even use it for planning their party. There's calculators that are built into it so that it can help people plan their events. And there's three different variations of this, the same agent and tool ADS for different parts of their website. But these ADSes, these agents are being used in different ways in different environments. There's examples of travel companies using them to help people plan their itineraries and get information on destinations. There's law firms using this to help people with [00:06:21:19 - 00:06:31:07] Quin McGlaughlin understanding their situation but also to help the law firm with the intake process and to help them with things like complex document, [00:06:32:10 - 00:07:01:10] Quin McGlaughlin processing and generation. There's a lot of different applications once you have an agent that understands your business and is trained with the right context and instructions. But what we're gonna look at today is kind of the foundational level of how do we get this ADS to a place where I understands my business, can talk to customers, can convert leads and then can serve as a foundation that you can layer on more sophisticated use cases and applications in the future. [00:07:02:12 - 00:07:04:06] Quin McGlaughlin There's other examples here. I [00:07:05:08 - 00:07:13:21] Quin McGlaughlin won't go into each and every one of them and interact with them but there's law firms, there's restaurants, there's travel companies, [00:07:15:04 - 00:07:18:09] Quin McGlaughlin there's wedding websites, there's all sorts of different, [00:07:19:16 - 00:07:29:16] Quin McGlaughlin I'll let it load here so you can see it, all sorts of different tools that you can build into these ADSes. And I'm gonna sort of take it piece by piece and show you [00:07:30:24 - 00:07:46:10] Quin McGlaughlin not just how to build the ADS but then how that fits into the larger picture of the platform. And we'll have a section at the end for questions. So please do ask us questions but also if you have questions or you've got something custom that you wanna build [00:07:47:14 - 00:07:57:07] Quin McGlaughlin or you're stuck on some certain step, please drop questions into the Guild also because we wanna get as much discussion happening in the Guild that everybody can learn from as we can. [00:07:59:22 - 00:08:05:12] Quin McGlaughlin So really quickly, I'm gonna talk about where we're gonna go for the day and where to start. [00:08:07:19 - 00:08:16:11] Quin McGlaughlin We're all gonna be at different stages and not everybody will have the same setup. You might have a different LLM that you use, the companion with the Metglabs AI platform. So [00:08:18:00 - 00:08:31:21] Quin McGlaughlin what I'm gonna do is walk through the process step by step and some of you might feel like you're getting left behind. If you're not on the same page, don't worry, we're gonna have this recorded, we're gonna have notes and we're gonna post written instructions as well. [00:08:33:07 - 00:08:54:14] Quin McGlaughlin But let me start by talking about what to do once you are logged into the platform and assuming that we all have a trial or a membership activated, there's three paths that we're gonna talk about today. So the first is all of these are upgraded versions of the previous experience that you might've had with Metglabs [00:08:55:24 - 00:10:27:06] Quin McGlaughlin AI. But there's a couple new additions that we'll explore today as well. So the first path is the LLM or Agent-led path. And this is a feature that's been released with the new UX. And this is mint, you might've heard this if you've been on some of our other events and other conversations talking about the new UX. This is a way that you could use your favorite LLM, say if you've got cloud or chat GPT or grok and you've already done a lot of work with that LLM and it's got context about you and about your business that you think is really valuable. And you don't wanna take the time to have to figure out all of the little details of how to use the Metglabs AI platform. You can actually use your LLM to navigate and build things within the platform for you. There's another path that we'll explore called the Metglabs Director Path. And this is something that we've also introduced with the new UX. And this is a custom agent and set of capabilities that can A, build for you, but B, help you figure out how to do different things within the platform and is trained on all of the details and finer aspects of what you can configure and customize and how to do that. And then the third path is that we'll dive into less during this conversation, this session. And that's some of the manual details that you might wanna know, like how to find certain features, how to control certain settings or how to configure or dial in your ADS once it's created. [00:10:29:05 - 00:10:44:11] Quin McGlaughlin So let's all, if you're not logged into the Metglabs AI platform, I'd suggest doing that now. And you can follow along if you like. And if not, you can reference the recording or ask questions. But once we're logged into the platform, [00:10:45:20 - 00:11:06:08] Quin McGlaughlin let's talk about that first path that we might take. That's the LLM and agent led path. So a couple of details that you might wanna know, we always recommend that you have the desktop version of cloud or chat GPT or whatever LLM you might be using if you're going to use the LLM as a companion. [00:11:07:13 - 00:11:21:14] Quin McGlaughlin So for this example, I'll focus on cloud, but we can share instructions and details about how to set up a chat GPT or Grok as well. It's almost exactly the same process, maybe just with a few extra button clicks. [00:11:23:00 - 00:11:36:02] Quin McGlaughlin But very, very simple. The first thing that I'm gonna do once I'm logged into the Metglabs AI platform is just click this link right here that says, add this skill to your preferred LLM. Whenever I click that, [00:11:37:04 - 00:11:51:22] Quin McGlaughlin I will be given a zip folder in my downloads. And I don't even have to extract the files or do anything. I'm just gonna open up my LLM of choice. So in this case, we've got cloud. Now, [00:11:52:22 - 00:11:56:17] Quin McGlaughlin I think it's gonna exit whenever I try to drag and drop. So I'll do it this way. [00:11:58:09 - 00:12:17:16] Quin McGlaughlin So I'm just gonna drag and drop the zip folder that I've now downloaded into my cloud chat. You could drop a message in there if you'd like. I've noticed personally in my experimentation, cloud immediately knew what to do with the zip folder and installed the skill. GPT [00:12:18:17 - 00:12:29:21] Quin McGlaughlin asked me first, what do I do with this folder? And then I said, please help me install this skill. So you might wanna drop a note in there for context, but I'm just gonna say, help me install this skill. [00:12:30:23 - 00:12:37:07] Quin McGlaughlin And whenever updates are released to this packet that I am now installing, [00:12:38:12 - 00:13:01:13] Quin McGlaughlin you just repeat this exact same process. The Meck Labs Operator skill gets an update and it's now version five. All you do to update it is the same step that I just executed. I'm just gonna come back to this page, click this link and repeat the process and it will update the skill. And while it's doing that, I'll explain a little bit about what the skill is. [00:13:03:15 - 00:14:07:18] Quin McGlaughlin So the Meck Labs Operator skill is really like an agent handbook for navigating and building within the Meck Labs AI platform. It's the knowledge packet that you're giving to your LLM so it knows all the different functions and features of Meck Labs AI. And then all you have to do once we have this installed is give it instructions and it can execute processes for you on your behalf. Now, another key detail that you might wanna know is if you have your desktop version of cloud or GPT, you also want to have or need to have it connected to your browser. So in cloud, for example, I believe it's now only a paid feature. Like if you have a paid cloud account, you can have Chrome, a browser extension for cloud. If you have GPT and you have the desktop version, you don't have to have the paid version, but you do have to have chat GPT in work mode, which is something that you'll want the desktop version to be able to do. So once it's downloaded, once it's connected, [00:14:09:01 - 00:14:14:17] Quin McGlaughlin then you're ready to begin using the skill. And so now we'll see, it looks like, [00:14:16:03 - 00:14:22:03] Quin McGlaughlin it looks like there's a new update that's been released just since last week. I'm gonna click update. [00:14:23:11 - 00:14:48:03] Quin McGlaughlin And once this has installed, there's nothing more that I need to do in order to be able to give instructions to cloud and ask it to now do things. It now understands what the Mac Labs AI platform is, it understands the different terms and definitions that we use, it even understands things about the methodology. And I'll show you [00:14:49:15 - 00:14:53:18] Quin McGlaughlin another little detail here, just a moment. [00:14:54:24 - 00:15:00:12] Quin McGlaughlin I'm going to go ahead and drop into our chat, a sample prompt. [00:15:01:19 - 00:15:16:22] Quin McGlaughlin And this sample prompts, you can feel free to tweak it if you wanted to, but this is a prompt that is designed to generate a Legion agent like the ones that are living on those websites that I mentioned in the beginning. [00:15:18:04 - 00:15:27:15] Quin McGlaughlin And all the only feel that you'll need to adjust, and this is assuming that you have a website or a URL to use as a source of truth. [00:15:28:17 - 00:15:41:06] Quin McGlaughlin If you don't, say if you don't have a website yet, but you wanna build an agent that can help you with other things, there's absolutely ways to do that. And there's a suite of tools inside of Mac Labs AI to help you. I'll show you some of those tools. [00:15:42:16 - 00:16:02:04] Quin McGlaughlin You can even build custom libraries that you load with information, and you can create indexes and instructions for how to reference and use that material. And so in the absence of say like a website to use to train your agent and give it context, there are other ways to train agents and give them context. But I'm just gonna paste this prompt [00:16:03:10 - 00:16:07:17] Quin McGlaughlin into my chat, and I'm gonna add a URL for a friend's website. [00:16:09:16 - 00:16:26:07] Quin McGlaughlin Now this prompt has a few important parts. One, it's specifying using the Mac Labs AI operator skill, so that it's telling Claude, "Hey, this is not something I just want you to execute independently. I want you to use your skill in order to do what I'm asking for inside the platform." [00:16:27:15 - 00:16:41:13] Quin McGlaughlin I'm telling it to search the web for anything it doesn't cover. So I'm telling it to look outside of just the source that I'm giving it. I'm telling it to give me a summary of what it's finding and what assumptions it's making before it actually starts building. [00:16:42:14 - 00:16:59:08] Quin McGlaughlin This is the goal of what I'm trying to create, a lead generation website agent powered by one expert. And here's what that expert should be able to do, answer questions accurately from the material, say plainly when it doesn't know something, never invent information. [00:17:00:08 - 00:17:28:16] Quin McGlaughlin And then there's some like process level instructions, like ask one natural question at a time to understand what each visitor needs and only ask for contact details after it's given a useful answer. So some of these elements, if you wanted to tweak or change them, you could have it say, "I want it to ask clarifying questions with every response." You could always add that into this prompt and I'll show you how you can then edit the expert after it's created. [00:17:30:12 - 00:17:43:22] Quin McGlaughlin But I'm gonna go ahead and start it working on that process. And while it does that, because it's going to begin to work in my browser in the background, while it does that, I'm gonna show you [00:17:44:23 - 00:17:56:22] Quin McGlaughlin how to use the Mecklabs operator. Now, just again to kind of try to distinguish the difference between them. The Mecklabs director is [00:17:57:22 - 00:18:33:02] Quin McGlaughlin a primary agent that lives inside the Mecklabs AI platform. It's a Mecklabs AI expert. But this expert is specifically trained to help you figure out how to do things in the platform and even build things for you. So the Mecklabs director works on its own inside of the platform. The LLM is like having an agent on the LLM side work with the agent that is the Mecklabs director. They're kind of like working together in tandem to do things inside of the platform. And when the LLM has a question, it can ask the Mecklabs director. [00:18:34:05 - 00:18:41:03] Quin McGlaughlin So I've got my Mecklabs director open now and I'm gonna even take that same prompt. I won't even [00:18:42:15 - 00:18:53:16] Quin McGlaughlin need to correct the opening where it says using the Mecklabs AI operator skill and knows what to do here. So I'm gonna do the same exact thing with the Mecklabs director [00:18:54:16 - 00:18:58:00] Quin McGlaughlin that I am doing with my LLM. [00:18:59:03 - 00:19:32:13] Quin McGlaughlin And again, there's three paths. The LLM led path where the LLM works with Mecklabs AI to do things for you. The Mecklabs director path where the director works inside of Mecklabs AI to do things for you or to help you understand how to do things on your own. And then the third is to do things manually. Like anything that we're doing or anything that this LLM is doing is also stuff that you can do manually. If you have very specific changes that you make or you wanna explore some of the other functionalities, I'll show you how to do that also. [00:19:34:12 - 00:19:59:17] Quin McGlaughlin While it's doing this, what it's doing is crawling this website and I'll go ahead and pull up the website and just see and follow along with what it's thinking and how it's operating. This is a website for a friend of mine. So whenever we put this prompt into the Mecklabs director of the LLM, it's crawling the entire website, it's indexing the information, it's searching for site goals, things like [00:20:00:18 - 00:20:25:08] Quin McGlaughlin what are the calls to action that are on the website that we might want the agent to support and direct people to do. It's building its own sort of knowledge base and context that it's going to use to inform all the settings that will ultimately be the expert in the ADS that's created on the other side. So you can see over here too, I've got Claude that's starting to work in the background. [00:20:27:23 - 00:20:58:07] Quin McGlaughlin Candidly, from my own experience, you might find that if you know what you're doing inside of the Mecklabs AI platform, it can sometimes be quicker and simpler if you just know what you want to do and you go in and do it yourself. Sometimes the LLM will have to reference things that are inside of that operator skill, it'll have to search for answers to questions, and it'll take a little bit longer time in many cases, but you won't have to think about it, it's just operating autonomously. [00:21:01:19 - 00:21:16:13] Quin McGlaughlin Here we go. If you find the same thing in GPT as well, whenever you're running the LLM lead path, then you'll have different intervals where it'll require some input from you to allow certain things. [00:21:17:17 - 00:21:21:21] Quin McGlaughlin Now that I have allowed it, I'm gonna always allow it for that website, [00:21:24:06 - 00:21:45:05] Quin McGlaughlin and you can see it here, referencing the operator skill. So it's going to work right now, figuring out answers to its questions, it's gonna then go to the website, and it's gonna start to execute this process. Now, while it is doing that, and I'll just, I'll pause momentarily while it's thinking, and [00:21:46:16 - 00:21:53:01] Quin McGlaughlin I will ask Dan, is there anything that I should clarify or any [00:21:54:16 - 00:21:59:09] Quin McGlaughlin finer details that I've mentioned that you think I should drill down on a little bit more? [00:21:59:09 - 00:23:02:23] Daniel Burstein Oh, we don't have any questions now. Again, if there's any questions, feel free to use the chat and we can go into. I think one of the things too that helps make this process rich is so some of you might be watching it and thinking of, okay, I'm gonna build this for my landing page or my website, so this is a one-off thing, and like, okay, so it's helpful, it's automated, it works quickly, and what have you. The other thing, if you're watching and you're thinking of being a reseller, or you have an agency, or you have a lot of clients, the great thing about this is you can, as Quinn's showing you in an automated fashion in a short amount of time, build these for all of your clients or prospects. So we have a reseller in our group named Graham Aerosmith, who some of you might know, and he is at a trade show in London right now, and they're going in a few days, and that's one thing he can then offer up to potential clients, like, hey, I can build a custom AI agent for your website, do it on demand, let's do a 30-minute call, whatever it is, and it's a very easy way to build all these custom tools. So one quick example, and I'll turn it back over to Quinn, and again, if you have any questions, feel free to use the chat. [00:23:04:16 - 00:23:46:16] Daniel Burstein We had a post in the AI Guild, and I mentioned, hey, where are you stuck, right? Because I mean, that's one of the things we really do if you're familiar with the marketing ship or reporting, which is a site I'm on. We have all these real-world examples of case studies and marketing, and a lot of it I found, really, it's just, it helps people get unstuck, right? You're stuck in a certain place with your business, a certain place in the funnel, a certain idea, and we had a post, and someone was saying, they're trying to build a two-sided marketplace, and they were stuck. And so I brainstormed with Metclabs Director. I wasn't even trying to build an ADS. I was just brainstorming with Metclabs Director, but hey, what can we do to help this person and give me some marketing-shurpa content? And I thought it was cool. Metclabs Director was like, hey, while I'm at it, do you want me to build a custom AI agent for this person? [00:23:47:17 - 00:24:06:04] Daniel Burstein And so if you know how it works now with the new Smart UI in Metclabs AI Director, I just clicked the button, and so I was able to give them some different ideas, but also, it very quickly built an agent, and you'll see, Quinn will show you when it's done, and it looks like that agent, because they duped your website, it looks like that agent is right on [00:24:07:04 - 00:24:08:06] Daniel Burstein the website. [00:24:09:09 - 00:24:22:19] Daniel Burstein All right, here's one quick question, Quinn, we have from Gene. Once I am in Cloud Code and have the tool installed, it keeps asking me to log into the Metclabs system. I thought I was in, but not clear on what to do next. [00:24:24:05 - 00:24:37:11] Quin McGlaughlin Okay, so you would need to be logged into the Metclabs AI platform. Do you have a browser extension to connect your LLM to the browser? Like for Cloud, I've got [00:24:38:13 - 00:24:41:19] Quin McGlaughlin a Chrome extension that I can show you here. [00:24:41:19 - 00:24:51:03] Gene I think that's set up. I'm just not sure why it keeps asking me to log in, because I seem to be logged in. [00:24:53:01 - 00:24:59:22] Quin McGlaughlin Okay, if you have the extension in your browser, and you have Cloud open, do you have, [00:25:00:24 - 00:25:04:00] Quin McGlaughlin I assume your skill is already installed in Cloud, is that right? [00:25:04:00 - 00:25:04:19] Gene Yes. [00:25:04:19 - 00:25:08:06] Quin McGlaughlin Perfect, and you mentioned Cloud Code. [00:25:09:15 - 00:25:14:22] Quin McGlaughlin In this case, I would actually make sure that you're in co-work as well. [00:25:17:09 - 00:25:21:10] Quin McGlaughlin Do you know if you're in co-work, or are you in, because Cloud- [00:25:21:10 - 00:25:25:07] Gene No, it's always in code. That's the default I use. [00:25:25:07 - 00:25:28:22] Quin McGlaughlin It's always in code. So code is a slightly different [00:25:30:14 - 00:25:47:03] Quin McGlaughlin tool. You might need, I don't know if it's a separate download or not, but there's Cloud Code, and then there's like the Cloud General Chat, and the Cloud General Chat has this co-work function as well. It might just be that Cloud Code is not [00:25:49:18 - 00:25:54:12] Quin McGlaughlin connecting to your browser extension, but I can't be certain unless I- All [00:25:54:12 - 00:25:57:13] Gene right, I'll figure it out. I don't want to kill time here for the group. [00:25:57:13 - 00:26:00:24] Cliff Rainer No problem. I can interject real quickly if you want me to. [00:26:00:24 - 00:26:01:22] Quin McGlaughlin Please do. [00:26:01:22 - 00:26:24:09] Cliff Rainer Yeah, you'll have to be, are you using desktop app or are you using browser? Yeah, desktop. Okay, well, you should be able to open the top left towards there, you should be able to change the chat. You have to use chat or co-work. It won't work in Cloud Code. I use it extensively all the time, so that's all we know. And then it'll be able to use your browser extension and talk to our LLMs or our Mac Labs AI. [00:26:24:09 - 00:26:26:03] Gene Perfect, Cliff, thank you. [00:26:27:06 - 00:26:28:12] Quin McGlaughlin Thanks for jumping in there, Cliff. [00:26:30:02 - 00:26:37:20] Quin McGlaughlin Awesome. So we've got Cloud working in the background. We've got the operator that's already made progress. I'm gonna go back to [00:26:40:09 - 00:27:25:13] Quin McGlaughlin my chat history here, and I'm gonna show you what we've got over here in the Mac Labs Director. So you can see here, like I specified in that prompt, I wanted it to summarize the information that I found. So it's giving me a description of what it believes I sell, who's my ideal customer, what is my value proposition, why would they choose me, and common questions that visitors might have. So this is all information that it's using to direct it and to build a structure for the agent's settings and goals and prompt. So now it's even asking me a few questions for clarity and confirmation. What I'm gonna do, since this is an example, is I'm just gonna say this is a test build, here's your best judgment. [00:27:28:06 - 00:27:29:12] Quin McGlaughlin And then let it continue. [00:27:31:15 - 00:27:34:05] Quin McGlaughlin It seems like we might have, [00:27:37:20 - 00:27:42:09] Quin McGlaughlin we might have Cloud stall on a step. So let me take a look here and see what I installed. [00:27:47:03 - 00:27:49:07] Quin McGlaughlin Here we go, it's asking me for a confirmation. [00:27:51:14 - 00:27:51:14] Quin McGlaughlin And [00:27:52:20 - 00:27:54:07] Quin McGlaughlin I'm gonna tell it the same thing here. [00:27:57:08 - 00:28:00:11] Quin McGlaughlin Test builds, here's your best judgment. [00:28:02:06 - 00:28:06:10] Quin McGlaughlin So it'll ask you questions to make sure that it's on the right track and has [00:28:07:16 - 00:28:15:02] Quin McGlaughlin the right details in order before it tries to build something. And then now we should see it go back to work over here. [00:28:17:03 - 00:29:20:11] Quin McGlaughlin Now, what we're gonna have on the other side of this in both the case with Claude and with the Mech Labs director is I won't have to touch anything except for confirming whatever details it asked me about in order for it to go ahead and build the prototype. So on the other side of this, we're gonna have a working prototype that's already ready and all I have to do is go in and then check it out, look into its details, decide if I think it's where I want it or if there's things that I wanna tweak and then deploy it on my website. So all the work, the legwork of building the agent, telling it what it needs to know, giving it clear instructions and its prompt, all of that is being done for me now in both instances. So right now it's giving me a plan to test the prototype that it has already built. Now you see, Mech Labs director has already finished building the prototype and it's giving me a button here to open the runnable preview. [00:29:21:12 - 00:30:13:20] Quin McGlaughlin So this is gonna take me to a review of the demo version of the ADS and then I'll show you how to find that preview link and how to adjust the ADS settings here in just a few minutes. So now it's got my preview page loaded in the background and we should see, aha, there's my ADS, my prototype ADS right here. And it's even based on the context it's learned from my website and based on the instructions I've given it, it's even created sample prompts that it thinks are the, it's best guessed or attempt at what consumers might or users might click or ask. So our Salesforce data is messed up, can you help me? Where does the proof, what does the proof cycle actually include? How much do you charge? Should we move from HubSpot to Salesforce? All of these things that you see here [00:30:15:09 - 00:30:38:15] Quin McGlaughlin have details that can be configured on the other side. So all of the difficult work has been done and now I'm gonna show you a couple of things that you might wanna know while Claude is going to work still here in the background. So you can see Claude is now, it's now interacting with the Metc Labs director. Like I mentioned, they're kind of working together to figure out what to do. [00:30:41:14 - 00:30:43:00] Quin McGlaughlin I'm gonna show you now [00:30:44:12 - 00:30:48:22] Quin McGlaughlin what to do once you have the prototype and a few details about [00:30:50:00 - 00:30:58:23] Quin McGlaughlin how you could go about manually configuring or creating new ones as well. So a couple of terms to clarify. [00:30:59:23 - 00:32:35:09] Quin McGlaughlin We talked about the ADS, the agent delivery system. That's like the container and the box that holds your agents. And when we say agents, we really mean three types inside of the Metc Labs AI platform. One is your experts. Experts are like conversational engines that can interact with users dynamically. There's apps, which is, we also call it agent because it's still powered with the same agent intelligence. But instead of being a conversational engine, it executes a sort of standardized process in sequence. So if you have like a repeated templatized process or set of steps that you might wanna be executed the same way every time, you might wanna build an app instead of an expert. Or when we say an agent, we also mean a library. And the reason is because it's not just a library in the sense that it's a repository of information. It's, we like to say a library with a brain or a living library. And that means that your agents can sort through that library, pull out information, search it for key terms, or you could ask a question. For example, right now I'm in the Metc Labs AI platform. I could select Metc Labs Director, Marketing Genius, one of these other experts. I could select a library. Here's a whole list of custom libraries here. Say I select lead generation, and then I can just type in here, I want to know 10 case studies [00:32:36:21 - 00:32:39:12] Quin McGlaughlin related to lead generation and [00:32:40:13 - 00:32:41:14] Quin McGlaughlin how to [00:32:42:24 - 00:32:57:04] Quin McGlaughlin write the best headline, for example, or 10 case studies and headline optimization. And then that agent will search through my library, it will find that information for me. So it's kind of, it's like a dynamic interactive library. [00:32:58:11 - 00:33:35:03] Quin McGlaughlin And you can also do other things with it as well. So whenever I say agent, I mean expert app or library, and those agents live within the ADS, the agent delivery system. So now that I've got my first prototype ADS created, that also means I have a custom expert created. So whenever I want to find the experts I've created or edit some of their settings, I'm just going to go into my left-hand navigation here and click intelligence. And this is where my custom experts, apps, libraries and prompts live. [00:33:36:04 - 00:33:45:05] Quin McGlaughlin Now, if I click custom experts, it's going to pull up any custom experts that I have living inside of this workspace that I have created. [00:33:46:07 - 00:34:35:01] Quin McGlaughlin So let's see, which one is our most recent here? This is the one we just built. So here's the automation fix advisor. If I click on that, there's a few important things that you might want to know about this page. One, this is where you can configure or upgrade or downgrade the LLM that's powering your agent or expert. So you see where it says LLM model. If I click that, there is a whole host of different models that you can choose from. And we've even added some since the new release of the, since the release of the new UX. You see GPT in here. You'll also find XAI. You will find Perplexity, Gemini, and now just recently Claude as well. [00:34:36:08 - 00:34:37:24] Quin McGlaughlin And Grok, of course. [00:34:39:12 - 00:34:58:12] Quin McGlaughlin So you could choose whatever LLM you think is most appropriate for what you're trying to build. And you'll even see like these fields down below change to give you an estimate of their reasoning capabilities. How heavy is the reasoning model? How fast is it? And how many credits it burns. [00:35:00:00 - 00:35:05:18] Quin McGlaughlin A couple of other important things about this page that you might want to know. So say that you've already created your prototype. [00:35:06:23 - 00:35:25:14] Quin McGlaughlin You've already asked your LLM to do it for you, or you've asked the Mac Labs director to do it for you. It now exists and you want to configure some of the details that you've noticed. So say I'm looking at my example here and I say, I don't like these sample prompts. I'm going to change these. I don't like this button that says submit. [00:35:27:13 - 00:35:27:18] Quin McGlaughlin That [00:35:28:20 - 00:36:25:13] Quin McGlaughlin brings back so many memories of Flint talking about what a crime and travesty of marketing it is to ever use submit for a call to action. So say I want to change some of these details. Well, there's a couple of places that I do that. One is this custom experts page. And the other is the agent delivery system page. On this page, these prompt suggestions are exactly what you see here. These are the sample prompts that are preloaded and clickable. So I can adjust these, I could delete them. You can add up to four of them, but that's where you would edit or configure those. You can link a library. So say you don't have a website yet, but you have created an agent and you want to give it a knowledge base and train it on the context and information from that library. You can create a custom library and then link it to this specific expert. [00:36:26:15 - 00:36:30:18] Quin McGlaughlin It's where you can turn on web search so that the agent can search the web [00:36:31:19 - 00:36:35:17] Quin McGlaughlin whenever it's trying to answer a question, like for example, that it might not know the answer to. [00:36:36:20 - 00:36:47:09] Quin McGlaughlin And in some cases, you might not even want web search on. You might have a library and you want it only to draw from its approved source material. So you can always turn web search off and have it just reference its library. [00:36:48:23 - 00:37:12:11] Quin McGlaughlin Metclabs Experiments Library, that applies the Metclabs case studies and research and methodology to your agent and to its outputs. And that can be turned on or off with a simple toggle. So if what you're doing is marketing related, you might want that on. But if it's completely outside of the say marketing related purpose or function of the agent, you can leave it off, it's totally up to you. [00:37:13:14 - 00:37:15:19] Quin McGlaughlin And then just a couple other quick things that [00:37:17:01 - 00:37:36:13] Quin McGlaughlin I know I'm moving fast, so I'll pause and open it up for questions here in just a moment. But a few other helpful details to know on this page, personality and voice conversation. If I were to turn that on, I can then select open AI, VAPI or TABIS to power it. I think through VAPI, [00:37:37:16 - 00:38:04:15] Quin McGlaughlin in the previous UX, it was a different plugin. But you can use your own voice and create samples and have the agent even speak in your voice or say one of your sales people's voices or Morgan Freeman, if you wanted to. But let's just say I wanted to have a voice and I click open AI, and then there's a whole set of configurable voices here. I can adjust the speed at which it talks. I can give an instructions for, [00:38:05:24 - 00:38:11:18] Quin McGlaughlin tell it to use an accent or always in by asking a question or whatever additional instructions I wanna give it. [00:38:13:06 - 00:38:17:00] Quin McGlaughlin And then that way when I'm here inside of this ADS, [00:38:18:17 - 00:38:19:19] Quin McGlaughlin looks like [00:38:21:22 - 00:38:29:06] Quin McGlaughlin it's not turned on yet for that ADS. So I'll turn that on and refresh that page. So I'll use that selected voice. [00:38:30:11 - 00:38:35:15] Quin McGlaughlin I'm gonna refresh this page. And now I should have an icon, like a little blue bubble, [00:38:36:18 - 00:38:41:07] Quin McGlaughlin that will enable me to interact by voice. So instead of having to type anything, [00:38:43:01 - 00:38:43:24] Quin McGlaughlin it'll load for me. [00:38:46:10 - 00:39:03:03] Quin McGlaughlin I can feel it. Oh, there we go. I don't know. I wonder if I signed it to the wrong expert. I'll show you in another example, but there'll be a little blue button that appears right here. And if you click it, you don't even have to type anything. You could just have a voice conversation back and forth with the ADS. [00:39:05:08 - 00:39:13:09] Quin McGlaughlin Follow-up suggestions is just clickable bubbles that appear at the end whenever it gives a response or an answer. [00:39:14:18 - 00:39:16:03] Quin McGlaughlin And those clickable bubbles [00:39:17:13 - 00:39:25:04] Quin McGlaughlin will just populate at the end of the message and they'll be based on whatever the context of its output was. So [00:39:26:11 - 00:39:57:00] Quin McGlaughlin the last point that I'll make about this page is this, and it's an important one because it's a very cool feature, but smart display responses is like a functionality that allows the ADS to dynamically organize and format the information that it's outputting. So whenever you see like this here, these boxes that are separated neatly or tabs, for example, that can be clicked like in my Metclabs Director example. [00:39:58:07 - 00:40:00:03] Quin McGlaughlin I'll go back to that so you can see what I mean. [00:40:00:03 - 00:40:05:01] (Mouse Clicking) [00:40:07:20 - 00:40:08:19] Quin McGlaughlin Here we go. [00:40:13:22 - 00:40:51:02] Quin McGlaughlin See how it gives me buttons here that I can click or it organizes information into a table or gives me tabs that I can click. That is a result of the smart display feature. So you can have that on or off, whatever is your preference, but you can also specify instructions for it. Like for example, when putting, say your ADS suggests dates for or times for call, you could say always put those into a table or always present links as a clickable button. You can add instructions here on how to format and display the information inside of your ADS. [00:40:52:10 - 00:40:55:20] Quin McGlaughlin So I will pause and then after [00:40:56:23 - 00:41:04:17] Quin McGlaughlin we've been here, respond to any questions, I'll take us kind of to the next big piece, which is configuring your ADS [00:41:06:14 - 00:41:13:00] Quin McGlaughlin and what that entails and where to find it. But I know it's a lot of information. Any questions from anybody? [00:41:13:00 - 00:41:29:09] Daniel Burstein Does this make sense? We have two questions here in the chat and I'll let other people pipe up too. One, how powerful an LLM is usually required or suggested. So when you go back to the previous screen, Quinn, you can show, I think you're showing the thinking and the reasoning and the speed. So there's like some suggestion there within the tool for each of them. [00:41:30:13 - 00:41:38:20] Daniel Burstein If you wanna show that, but then also, like I don't know if you have any feedback for, you know, smart UI sometimes we wanna use it, more powerful LLM or how we choose which LLM would be best. [00:41:39:24 - 00:41:49:00] Quin McGlaughlin That's a great question. I would say it depends on the function of that agent or ADS. Like for example, [00:41:50:15 - 00:41:58:15] Quin McGlaughlin one of the most common like foundational ADSes we often build is this lead gen agent that we're showing today. And the reason is because [00:41:59:19 - 00:42:07:02] Quin McGlaughlin it's a simple ADS. It requires a general holistic understanding of the business and of the primary goals. [00:42:08:15 - 00:42:15:05] Quin McGlaughlin And it's a foundation on which you could build other apps or other things. But [00:42:16:15 - 00:42:34:05] Quin McGlaughlin for a lead gen ADS, it's gonna be interacting with users on my homepage, answering general questions, things like that. I don't need the heaviest, most complex reasoning model available. And if I were to choose like a, let's say Astra, [00:42:35:13 - 00:42:45:13] Quin McGlaughlin well, look what happens to my speed and my credit usage. So speed drops way down and credit utilization is the maximum. So [00:42:46:20 - 00:43:31:07] Quin McGlaughlin probably not the right thing if it's just gonna be talking to customers on my homepage and answering general questions. But might be appropriate if I have an agent that's created to process complex data or manage a library of thousands of documents or something like that. So it kind of just depends on the purpose of the agent. And you can see here, like if you were to click some different options, you can get a sense of what their consumption, reasoning and speed is. I usually, when I'm building Legion agents, default to the 5.4 minis when I've used many times. And recently since it's been released, Soul is also pretty fast. [00:43:32:16 - 00:43:38:10] Quin McGlaughlin It's heavier reasoning, again, depends on what you're using it for. [00:43:40:06 - 00:43:44:18] Quin McGlaughlin But for this, what we're building today, the Legion agent that goes near your website, [00:43:46:06 - 00:43:48:08] Quin McGlaughlin personally, I would recommend the 5.0 minis. [00:43:49:19 - 00:43:50:18] Quin McGlaughlin Doesn't need [00:43:52:11 - 00:43:59:15] Quin McGlaughlin to have the heaviest reasoning, but it's got great speed and great credit economy. So does that answer your question? [00:44:01:15 - 00:44:04:08] Daniel Burstein Yeah, and there was a followup about can it work with OpenRouter? [00:44:06:15 - 00:44:11:16] Quin McGlaughlin That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. Steve, would you have any insight on that? Yeah. [00:44:16:08 - 00:44:26:10] Steven Beger So as in having an OpenAI type of API to connect them with OpenRouter? [00:44:28:11 - 00:44:29:12] Steven Beger Is that what you're asking, Gene? [00:44:29:12 - 00:44:45:08] Gene Well, and as much as OpenRouter, you can have, like for instance, I use either three or four LOMs at a time. And even though I haven't set it up properly yet, OpenRouter can automatically select between the least cost one for any given operation. [00:44:46:12 - 00:44:53:11] Gene That's its function. So that's just a money saver for anyone running expensive LLMs when they don't need to. [00:44:55:09 - 00:44:59:07] Steven Beger Yeah, I think, believe that's in our roadmap, I don't [00:45:01:03 - 00:45:02:15] Steven Beger think that's functionality for today. [00:45:04:00 - 00:45:11:08] Steven Beger But what we'll do is I'll take your question back to our engineering team, just to see where that falls within our schedule. [00:45:11:08 - 00:45:12:21] Gene Okay, thank you. [00:45:12:21 - 00:45:13:22] Steven Beger You're welcome. [00:45:13:22 - 00:45:17:00] Daniel Burstein And then Quinn, we had a question here. [00:45:18:20 - 00:45:34:19] Daniel Burstein Can this also work with funnel builder pages, like go high level and click funnel, thanks. And I think that's probably something you're gonna show. But I wonder if you can show how you actually, you know, would add it to a page, getting in the allowed URLs, the embed code, the validation and all that. [00:45:34:19 - 00:45:41:11] Quin McGlaughlin Yeah, I will absolutely show how we would deploy it on a website or use it in a live environment. [00:45:42:14 - 00:46:01:22] Quin McGlaughlin I will mention too, something that probably don't have time to fully explore, but there are thousands of integrations that are available now through MCP connections. So you can connect MEK Labs AI agents to different platforms using MCP connectors. [00:46:03:16 - 00:46:06:16] Quin McGlaughlin And there's thousands of them available. [00:46:07:19 - 00:46:20:09] Quin McGlaughlin We don't really have the time to go all the way into it, but under monetization, there's settings here, features here where you can configure web hooks and MCP servers. [00:46:22:00 - 00:46:32:02] Quin McGlaughlin There's other things too, like that are mentioned right here that we won't delve all the way into, but like you can even connect Stripe and take subscriptions through your MEC Labs AI agents. [00:46:33:19 - 00:46:41:18] Quin McGlaughlin But there's definitely connections that are available and the agents can perform tasks in other platforms as well if it's connected by MCP. [00:46:45:03 - 00:46:48:24] Quin McGlaughlin Any other questions before I move on to our next piece here? [00:46:50:08 - 00:46:51:00] Cliff Rainer I have a question. [00:46:52:09 - 00:47:00:22] Cliff Rainer The MEC Labs Director, when you're building an agent or ADS with that, you could always ask it for suggestions on what model to use, couldn't you? It would help you with that. [00:47:00:22 - 00:47:06:08] Quin McGlaughlin Oh, absolutely. Yeah, that's a great point that you bring up. Something I should really reinforce here too is, [00:47:07:12 - 00:47:09:05] Quin McGlaughlin if you have questions, you get stuck, [00:47:10:18 - 00:47:17:00] Quin McGlaughlin you're even just wondering something like, which LLM would you recommend for this purpose in this setting? [00:47:18:21 - 00:47:40:16] Quin McGlaughlin Ask the MEC Labs Director. It's a great resource and it can give you a lot of guidance. Sometimes I find myself, I catch myself doing the same thing. I feel unsure of something and then it just occurs to me, oh, I can ask the director and he knows. So that's a great point. Definitely use it to fill in any gaps or gray areas in your understanding. That's what it's trained for and that's what it's [00:47:41:16 - 00:47:42:20] Quin McGlaughlin created for. So, [00:47:44:09 - 00:49:21:18] Quin McGlaughlin and you can see, like I mentioned earlier, that using your LLM, that path is a great path for several reasons because A, you don't have to have direct involvement. You don't have to have a direct knowledge of all the settings or configurable details. If your LLM already has a bunch of context about your business and about you that you think is relevant and that you would want incorporated and into what it's building, those are all great reasons to use that path. However, you can also see that, it's still working in the background. It's a little bit slower than using the MEC Labs Director, but it also can do, since it's an agent that it lives outside of the MEC Labs AI platform, there are some things it can do that the MEC Labs Director can't. For example, I can't ask the MEC Labs Director to go and test an ADS for me. So in order to test an ADS, it would have to come to this preview and it would have to interact and have a live conversation with the agent. But since it's all within the MEC Labs AI platform, the director can't do that yet or working on some features and some updates that will probably resolve that in the near future. But my LLM on the other hand, once it's created a prototype, it can come to this preview page and it can have a whole conversation here with the prototype that I've created and give me feedback on what it noticed or where it failed or how it responded to certain questions. So there are some advantages to going with the LLM path. [00:49:22:23 - 00:49:29:00] Quin McGlaughlin It's just a little bit slower and it just depends on what's right for you and for the purpose of what you're trying to build. [00:49:32:00 - 00:50:28:01] Quin McGlaughlin So I will show you one other thing here that's an important page that you'll wanna know. If you've just created your prototype, remember, say the director's already created it for you, your custom experts live right here under intelligence and then the expert lives in an ADS, the agent delivery system. So my agent delivery systems are right here under deployments. If I click deployments, there's also some other cool features in here that we won't talk about today, like phone to agent and targeted message delivery. Like I mentioned, we're gonna have more of these tutorial sessions. So we'll cover other aspects of the platform and other types of builds and things like that. But this is a key page right here that you'll wanna know because this agent delivery system page is where you would adjust all of the main settings for that container that actually, that your agent actually lives in. So I'm gonna come here. [00:50:29:03 - 00:50:32:13] Quin McGlaughlin Here's my test build automation fix CRM advisor. [00:50:36:12 - 00:51:04:12] Quin McGlaughlin This is something that the Mac Labs director can configure for you. It's already got an allowed website URL that's added here, but say you were going to feature your ADS on specific pages but not every page. Well, you just wanna make sure that the pages you did wanna feature it on were here as allowed website URLs. That welcome message, for example, in this context, the one that I see right here, whenever I open up the ADS, [00:51:05:14 - 00:51:15:13] Quin McGlaughlin that is what I configure right here, the welcome your audience. So that's where you see over here in the preview, that's just the main welcome message. [00:51:17:03 - 00:51:21:05] Quin McGlaughlin This theme allows me to customize the background that's there. [00:51:22:16 - 00:51:26:02] Quin McGlaughlin You can even add disclaimers in chat if you wanted to. [00:51:27:07 - 00:51:35:24] Quin McGlaughlin Some cases we're working with law firms and legal disclaimers are important. So you can even embed a disclaimer into the chat experience by using that toggle. [00:51:37:09 - 00:51:48:14] Quin McGlaughlin And there's settings that I won't try to explain all of it, but I'll show you the really important ones that I think you'll want to know coming in here to tighten up your ADS or make changes. [00:51:49:23 - 00:52:25:06] Quin McGlaughlin So remember the ADS is the container. I can assign to that container different experts. I can assign multiple experts. And the same is true of apps and it's also true of libraries. So whenever I am in the Mac Labs director, for example, down here, I can click experts and see a whole host of custom experts created by Mac Labs. Same is true with apps and libraries. I can have lots of them living in one ADS. [00:52:26:13 - 00:52:37:02] Quin McGlaughlin So this is the page where I would do that. I can assign my experts, apps, libraries, or I can leave it turned off if I've only got say one expert in this ADS. [00:52:38:14 - 00:53:06:22] Quin McGlaughlin The goals page. This is where you can configure what the primary function of the ADS should be and what is primary call to action should be. So you can have a lead generation form. You could have click through where it directs people to a URL. You could have something generic if it's just there for conversational engine. Subscription, that's only if you're gonna have people pay to be able to use your ADS. That's a different kind of tier of the platforms. We won't go too [00:53:08:00 - 00:53:58:23] Quin McGlaughlin far into that, this is where you can configure your goals, add fields, your new fields, change your introductory message, add a background image, change your colors. And then one other important thing on this particular page is your trigger. So you have button click message count time delay. So say I've got this selected, a lead generation form. I could turn that to message count and say have, I could put three in there. And then after three messages, that lead generation form will populate and you can even control whether or not they have the ability to exit it until they fill out the information. So it just depends on whatever's right for your purposes. [00:54:00:07 - 00:54:14:23] Quin McGlaughlin But you could do it by message count or you could do it by time delay. So when they open up the ADS, maybe it waits 10 seconds, 15 seconds and then it automatically presents the form or only by button click. So that's where you configure your goals. [00:54:16:06 - 00:54:21:03] Quin McGlaughlin Another important page when it comes to adjusting your ADS is your triggers. [00:54:22:06 - 00:54:30:07] Quin McGlaughlin The trigger that it's referring to here is basically what you see before the ADS is opened. So if I were to close this ADS [00:54:32:07 - 00:54:37:23] Quin McGlaughlin and refresh this page, it's probably gonna automatically open because I think I've got that setting on. [00:54:40:09 - 00:54:43:11] Quin McGlaughlin But before it opens, I can just show you here too. [00:54:50:18 - 00:55:11:19] Quin McGlaughlin One fun fact for you is your ADS always loads after the page is fully loaded so that it doesn't negatively impact your page load times or SEO. But you can see here, this is the trigger. This is what people see before they open up the ADS. So if I were to click it, it will look a little different. And [00:55:13:05 - 00:55:31:00] Quin McGlaughlin there's different things in here that I can customize. I mentioned that voice functionality earlier. That's that blue bubble that I was referencing. If I were to click that, I can have a voice conversation. And you see like in this particular case, I've got it set to button click. So I have to click the button in order to open up the foreign field. [00:55:32:09 - 00:55:42:16] Quin McGlaughlin And then you can disable the ability to even exit out of that so that, if you wanna add like a form wall that people have to complete in order to proceed, that's totally possible. [00:55:46:17 - 00:56:08:10] Quin McGlaughlin And there are a few different versions here of the trigger that you can choose from. One is just like a simple bar. One is like rotating announcement style. Another is the custom image. This is the one that I tend to use most. And I think most people gravitate towards and like, and that's the same thing that you see over here. This is a custom trigger. [00:56:10:08 - 00:56:12:12] Quin McGlaughlin If I have custom trigger selected, [00:56:13:24 - 00:56:22:05] Quin McGlaughlin I can choose my colors, I can add a border, I could put a background in there, and I can control the size of the trigger as well. [00:56:23:22 - 00:56:46:24] Quin McGlaughlin And of course, I need the content or text. But that's an important page that you'd wanna know. So remember these things that I'm showing you, part of the reason I'm showing them to you is so that you have an understanding or a map of what you can ask your LLM to do, or you can ask your director to do. So if you were to tell your LLM or your director, I wanna change the trigger type to [00:56:49:14 - 00:57:10:00] Quin McGlaughlin rotating announcements, and I want to change my sample prompts to this, this, and this, go do it, it can execute these things for you. So what I wanna give you is like a picture of kind of what's possible and what you could ask your LLM or your Metclabs director to go and do for you if you want it done for you. [00:57:12:03 - 00:57:13:06] Quin McGlaughlin And then finally, [00:57:14:14 - 00:57:15:16] Quin McGlaughlin I'll show you, [00:57:16:19 - 00:57:26:12] Quin McGlaughlin you don't need to get into everything that's on this page, but a few details that you might wanna know for example, controlling your trigger position, where does it appear on the page, [00:57:28:04 - 00:57:31:11] Quin McGlaughlin controlling the size of the ADS once it's opened, [00:57:32:12 - 00:57:36:09] Quin McGlaughlin do I want it to load automatically in full screen or expanded? [00:57:37:13 - 00:57:46:14] Quin McGlaughlin And then one of the most important two points on this, or two of the most important points on this page are these, the preview link, [00:57:47:23 - 00:58:03:04] Quin McGlaughlin and your embeddable ADS code. So the preview linked, if you want to test your ADS, you wanna interact with it, you wanna have a conversation with it, this is where you would come to do that. So you will come to deployments, [00:58:04:08 - 00:58:05:16] Quin McGlaughlin agent delivery system, [00:58:06:18 - 00:58:46:23] Quin McGlaughlin last step is go live, and then this button right here, preview ADS, is what I would want to click in order to access and interact with my ADS. And you could also ask your LLM, or you could ask your Metc Labs director, hey, get me the preview link for my ADS, and it will provide you that link, and that's another route to go about it. And then finally, on this page is the embeddable ADS code. So say you've created your prototype, you've come into your custom expert, you've changed your LLM, you've adjusted your sample prompts, you've got the settings, just how you want them, you come over to deployments in your agent delivery system, and you adjust [00:58:48:03 - 00:58:52:24] Quin McGlaughlin the trigger style and the goals, and you've got it where you want it, and you wanna put it on your website. [00:58:54:12 - 00:59:24:23] Quin McGlaughlin Super, super simple. This code is all that you need to deploy an ADS Live on a webpage or site. You just copy this code, and it says right here with a little bit of instructions, insert this code on the pages you would like to load your ADS before the body tag. So there's two ways to do that. You can add it individually to each page if you only want it to appear on a specific set of pages, or if you put that code into the header or the footer, [00:59:26:13 - 00:59:37:11] Quin McGlaughlin then the ADS will appear on any page where that header or footer is used. So you could put it individually on pages or just in the header or footer and have it appear on all pages. [00:59:39:01 - 00:59:44:14] Quin McGlaughlin I know it's a lot of information. Like I said, I wanna give you a map and a picture so that [00:59:45:21 - 01:00:10:02] Quin McGlaughlin you have a sense of what's possible and what you can ask your LLM and director to do for you. But remember, they're there to do it for you and to remove the learning curve. So you don't have to figure out every one of these details. You can just ask for what you want and have it done for you. And let's take a peek in here at our clock and see how we're doing. You can see it's already been configuring settings. [01:00:11:14 - 01:00:14:24] Quin McGlaughlin Uh-oh, looks like it might be totally done. Let's take a look. [01:00:21:23 - 01:01:12:10] Daniel Burstein While you're doing that, Quinn, I'm gonna mention a few things. So if you're looking for inspiration for what to build, our next big event, our big AI Guild event is on December 2nd. So you can join Flint and he'll be teaching more about conversion optimization in the AI era. You'll get some ideas for things to build. I'm putting that link in the chat right now if you wanna join us for that. If you have follow-up questions, if you wanna collaborate with people, go into our circle community for the AI Guild, go in there, ask your question, help other out, collaborate, I'm putting that link in right now. And it's Quinn, Quinn went through a lot today. So we will be sending out the replay. You can go through at your own speed. You can go back and go forward and then again, you can ask follow-up questions or you can join us on December 2nd to get some inspiration for what to build. So we've got a few questions, but let's see your cloud build and then I'll ask a few of these questions, Quinn. [01:01:13:16 - 01:01:20:14] Quin McGlaughlin Perfect, I've just forced it to finish up and give me preview links. So feel free to go ahead and shoot with the questions while it's doing that. [01:01:21:19 - 01:01:26:08] Daniel Burstein Yeah, well, can I resell this program? We'll go to that question first. [01:01:27:08 - 01:01:31:16] Quin McGlaughlin That's a great question and absolutely. We do have a reseller program. [01:01:32:22 - 01:02:02:19] Quin McGlaughlin Jose, I'm not sure who that question came from, but it might be worth a follow-up note and email. If you were interested in being a part of the reseller program, we could set up a little conversation and talk through some of the details of how it works, but that is absolutely available and we would love to have more people reselling and pioneering their space with the platform. We'd love to see more people and interesting verticals doing creative things and reselling it in a new area. So definitely. [01:02:02:19 - 01:02:26:06] Daniel Burstein Yeah, is there a way to prevent an ADS from being overused or abused by bad actors trying to burn through money or tokens? I remember there was a famous example with McDonald's. I don't know if everyone saw when that was trending where people were like, "Hey, don't get clogged code. "Just use a McDonald's." And they were tricking into it, into doing things. So do you have any tips on that? I know I've seen some of our tests using some bots to make sure like I couldn't write poems about tacos or something like that. [01:02:27:11 - 01:02:28:22] Quin McGlaughlin That's a great question. I [01:02:30:12 - 01:02:42:06] Quin McGlaughlin don't know, Steve might be better to answer this than I, but I don't know what kind of defenses we have against like bot attacks or people trying to overuse the ADS. [01:02:45:16 - 01:02:56:06] Quin McGlaughlin I do know that I don't think anybody who has a live ADS has run out of credits at all, like in our history that I know of. [01:02:57:08 - 01:03:04:14] Quin McGlaughlin So we haven't had any instances where the ADS gets so overused that the credits become exhausted. [01:03:05:21 - 01:03:11:10] Quin McGlaughlin But I don't know if there's an additional layer of defense or way to detect, say like bot attacks or [01:03:12:14 - 01:03:14:15] Quin McGlaughlin bots overloading the ADS. [01:03:16:11 - 01:03:27:10] Daniel Burstein So there's a question. "Is the delivery of the ADS subject "to how the website is configured in terms of speed?" And I know you showed some of those different choices and triggers of how it can load based on time or scrolls or some of those other things. [01:03:28:21 - 01:03:38:02] Quin McGlaughlin Do you mean does it affect like the page load time? Is that what you mean? Or are you talking about the speed of its outputs? Just wanna make sure I understand. [01:03:38:02 - 01:03:48:20] Daniel Burstein I think it's in the speed of the loading. So I think there's two things, right? It's it will load after the rest of the page loads, but then from there, you can configure how you want it to load based on scroll or delay or what have you, right? [01:03:48:20 - 01:03:55:21] Quin McGlaughlin Yeah, exactly. Yep, you can have it load only when it's clicked. You can have it load [01:03:57:00 - 01:04:17:23] Quin McGlaughlin five seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds after a page loads, but no matter what you set as those configurable details, it always loads after the page is fully loaded. So even if you had that set to like a zero second time delay, it should not ever affect your page load time because the page will load first. [01:04:19:14 - 01:04:31:07] Daniel Burstein Okay, we have, "Can you attach this to a product page "on WordPress like you're doing Facebook "as to a specific page?" I think that's also what you showed earlier of how to add it into the page with how to copy that code, right? [01:04:31:07 - 01:04:34:08] Quin McGlaughlin Yes, you can absolutely add it to a WordPress page. [01:04:35:16 - 01:04:39:02] Quin McGlaughlin And again, that's if you're trying to find your code and you want to [01:04:40:14 - 01:04:55:15] Quin McGlaughlin deploy it live on a page, you just come to deployments, agent delivery system, and in this last step where it says go live, that is all you need and anywhere where you can edit or add things to the code, you can paste this script to feature the ADS. [01:04:55:15 - 01:05:06:04] Daniel Burstein All right, great, and one last question. You can still make it stay within your specific answers instead of letting it go out on the web, right? I think you showed us how to turn off the web search, right? [01:05:06:04 - 01:05:19:02] Quin McGlaughlin Yes, you absolutely can. You can turn off web search, you can give it a library to serve as its like sole source of truth and knowledge base, and you can also prompt into its instructions. [01:05:20:08 - 01:05:30:10] Quin McGlaughlin You can give it very specific parameters for how to answer questions or how to behave in certain contexts. So there's a few different ways you could control that, but you absolutely can control that. [01:05:30:10 - 01:06:01:01] Daniel Burstein All right, perfect. Well, thank you, Quinn, for walking us through and answering all of our questions. And just to remind everyone, join us December 2nd, we got a big AI Guild session on conversion optimization. It's gonna give you a lot of ideas. We will send out the replay to this, go in the AI Guild, ask questions, give ideas. And lastly, as I mentioned in the top, this was the first kind of tutorial, walkthrough, workshop build together we did like this. Feel free to give us feedback. Is this what you were looking for? Are you looking for something else in the build? How's with everything we're trying to optimize? So the next one could be very different based on your feedback. [01:06:02:05 - 01:06:04:07] Daniel Burstein Thanks everyone. Thanks Quinn. Thank you everybody. [01:06:04:07 - 01:06:06:14] Steven Beger Thank you guys, that was great, thanks.
