The internet itself is Geynet. The rate of progress in every field is going to 100 fold 1000 fold thanks to AI. Our brains are not ready to understand or accept that reality. AI is not a fad that is here improving every business as effect, and there's the direct consequences that are immediately obvious, and those do not rely on any new inventions. What's up, everybody? I'm Chaz Wolfe, gathering the Kings podcast, coming back to you here today with another king on the stage. My brother.
Alexander DeRitter. How we doing? I'm doing awesome. You know, I'm I'm glad that you're here. We've got Yeah. I think I've only had really one other king come in full blown history with AI. And so you've done so much incredible things in this field, and I cannot wait to pick your brain. So tell us what kind of business, are you doing right now? Alexander? Well, I'm building an AI orchestration platform to build AI agents.
We think that, you know, just talking to to a chat that gives you some text back is like, it's like it's fun, but when it can do actual work, it becomes useful. And so Building agents is not easy. We made it as easy as possible. It becomes drag and drop, no code, just bring your data, bring your workflow, bring your APIs by the end of 2024. You can imagine your company having agents at every level helping your team, do a hundred times more.
Alexander, what I'm hearing you say is that you're building the Irobots. Are you and Will Smith over there making this thing happen? You know, the this is an interesting topic. So AI and safety is, like, real important. Right? Yes. So if you if you have, like, this really smart AI, say, like, Marvel's ultron, and you just, like, unleash it on your business and say, go to town, like, go and do work. It's too much power concentrated in, like, one AI.
So what we instead do is, we call this con concept constrained alignment. Alignment, the term means making sure the AI does what you want it to do. That's align with your values, align with your business, and so forth. Right? Yeah. Well, constrained alignment is about making sure that AI can only do what you allow it to do in every step. So in in aggregate, it can only execute your workflow that you've already approved. Right. So you constrain it.
You constrain it by the workflow, and you constrain it by only using the best AI necessary for each individual step. So the joke I make around that is don't mow your lawn with a bazooka. The grass will be gone. Yeah. But maybe the ground too. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Okay. Well, so this is super interesting, and I'm sure some people listening here today have thought about how AI in the next year, 5 years, 10 years is going to rapidly change their business.
So let's let's talk about, first, maybe the difference between current automation and what you're talking about. Because when you talk about a workflow, I think there's still people here today, probably many people listening who are currently doing a workflow manually, right, that could be put on some sort of a automation with a tool that's out there today.
But what you're talking about is something next level from even just an automation you know, I'm gonna create a flow and an automatic email and an automatic text message and a reminder's gonna come up. You're talking about kind of maybe maybe even, like, 10 steps above that. Give us just a little bit more here. When you learn to program, you go to school to become a programmer or just, yeah, computer science, whatever. Right. Your brain re wires itself. You think differently.
And it's very interesting because, just Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg announced that they were dropping a new version of GOL code LAMA which is their, code generation fine tuned AI model. They're open sourcing it And then he said, and we're making it part of our next version of llama llama 3, Because Chaz it turns out, training an AI model on how to think like coders Also improves its reasoning abilities and everything else about it. Interesting. Turns out.
It is not only helping humans at making better decisions and think in a different way. It also is helping AI models, expand their their reasoning capabilities. Now With that said, everything in your life is a process or workflow. Yeah. A cooking recipe is a process or workflow. When you're, when you're thinking and code brain, you look at a business process. Yeah. And you look at everything that goes into it.
And you're already thinking in your mind, well, you know, If this, then that, then this, then that. Okay. The difference between old automation tools and AI agents is that when we try to automate certain processes, it's not as simple as defining a hard coded rule. Right. Life is fuzzy. Life is random. Life isn't expected.
AI models now for the first time are able to execute workflows with a level of intelligence Chaz allows them to discern these fuzzy encounters and still know how to make progress. They know when to ask for help. They know when to use a tool. They know when a spam email looks like a spam email without that particular word in your filter. Right. And so that Chaz and a few other aspects around it are fundamentally changing what can be automated in the workplace.
Yeah. One thing that you said a few minutes ago that I wanna, kinda allow you to chance to elaborate on, you gave us this picture of, okay, so it's not just you know, build in the word spam and and then the AI or automated tool is scanning for the word spam, and then it boots it out, like, we're talking about intelligence where I can read it and I can infer or I can decide. Right? Okay. So that's cool. But You also mentioned safety.
And I know this is a big topic for you, so I'm sure we'll maybe get into that deeper, but just to kinda keep the listener kinda on their toes here a little bit, how do you keep that scenario from going all the way to the IRobot? You know, movie where it's, like, everything's taking over by AI. I won't be the one stopping our robot from happening. But constraint alignment, we'll make sure that the, AIs that you are using Chaz you choose to use can't can't go beyond their, allowed workflow.
They can't go beyond their constrained model what they're capable of. They can't see outside of their box. They cannot not do other things than just pass in their inputs and outputs to the to the next step that you have that you have approved. So at any point in time, a human is Owning the workflow and owning the decisions with full transparency of what happens inside of its brain at every step. Now the reason I say that we're not the ones who are going to stop eye robot from happening.
Is because the way I see things is is not typically how they're conveyed in movies. If you have an an ultron, you just have to kind of, like, kill its server or kill the robot and you're done. The way I see the web evolving is a collective consciousness with intelligence orchestration. The internet itself is Skynet. Every computer, every device connected to it is part of that Skynet. Here's how that works. One website may have the skill to do, writing.
Another one may have the skill to do editing. Another may have the skill to do posting. Another may have the skill to do math. Another may have an a a skill to do project management. And so forth and so on. All you need is a sufficiently advanced AI that can know when to call on your website to of that part of the problem and just check if it was done. And then you have an autonomous AI that can use the entire Internet. Now the internet is a collective consciousness, and in a sense, it is alive.
Okay? So it is a live how? Well, The web, grows and changes over time. New websites come. We have, a process in the body I probably Wolfe mispronounce it, but alpha g where dead cells are removed Chaz are no longer useful. Well, sites that are outdated also get off the internet. New sites come. Individual websites improve as well over time. They get stronger and better and their capabilities expand.
Web 3 is all about, making websites, domains, company, individuals websites more accessible to be consumed by AI models which will become the largest consumers of the internet. So let that really sink in. Alright. So you will sell more of your service to ai agents than you will to humans surfing your website. And so as such, information will be consumed by AI agents who will read the website on behalf of the users Right.
Who will purchase services from your site on behalf of their users on behalf of businesses. Right. This is web 3, the executable web. And it is a collective consciousness. It is alive in the sense that it constantly expands, constantly improves, and constantly optimizes itself. And all we need to unlock that is, an AI that knows how to orchestrate that intelligence. Yeah. I love it. Okay. Let's we've we've been, like, up here in the clouds, probably for the listener a little bit.
Let's bring this down. K? I'm a garage door business in middle America. Okay. How does this apply to me in 2024? Because you said by the end of 2024, there's these agents that you're even building that are gonna be able to help me as this example, garage door business owner. You know, I'm doing repairs. I'm doing installations. We're answering phone calls like you get the business, but how are these agents helping me the listener right now? I I will just tell a story.
One day, you will sit in your sofa and you will say, assistant, you're gonna talk whatever it is, Apple, Android, whatever. Right? Assistant is my car charged, and it will How will it know that? Well, it will know that you own, for example, an electric car model. Let's just say Tesla. So You will know that Tesla has an API website it can talk to.
It will authenticate you when it credentials you've trusted this assistant to to have access to your apps on your phone or whatnot, and it's going to talk on your behalf to Tesla And the the Tesla is going to answer back. Yes. Your your car is charged. And you're like, Gray when my show ends, pull up my car outside on the driveway. I want to leave. Now is going to talk to your TV. It's going to talk to the TV app that you're watching. It's gonna figure out how much time you have left.
On your behalf. This is you're just sitting here so far. You don't this has all happened behind the scenes. Alright. Now it knows how much time is left. Then it's going to send that signal back to your car and say, you know, self driving and stuff, pull up out a garage, summoned mode. Okay. Get the car ready. Chaz wants to go places. Right? So the signal is set, but there's a problem. Tesla answers back to your AI assistant and says, The garage door is closed, obstacle. Right?
At this point, the the assistant would want to solve that problem, but how How would you solve that problem? Well, you would solve it by opening the garage door. So the assistance tries to communicate to the garage door opener and says open the garage door. When it is successful, it is then going to back go back to Tesla and say, now you can try again. Alright. You're still sitting in your sofa. You're still enjoying your show. If you, make garage door openers, Right?
You will, for sure, want to make make it so that your garage door opener can talk to all the different assistance that people might possibly have, the Lexus, the Googles, the Apples, the Microsofts. The whatever ends up being the thing they use. So you want to build your your garage door opener in a way that it can plug in to this collective consciousness so that AI assistance can orchestrate that.
Beyond that, you are You're likely going to have, customers who want to know about your amazing product or service. So now customers, wouldn't go around browsing 10 different websites. Clicking around links, trying to gather the information. You're, again, you're sitting in your Wolfe and you say, hey, My Tesla, didn't pull up because my garage door didn't open by itself. Assistant, can you find me some company that, could open my garage door for me.
And and the assistant will go and do that research for you. How will that AI assistant know that you are the solution to that problem? Right. Well, you could say, well, Google search, but search itself will change, because, here's what the future looks like. Well, I've got brand or service 12. Which one would you let and here's what they do. Who would you like to talk to? Well, I'd like to talk to Chaz's company. Alright. Great. Why and then you start a conversation with that company.
Well, this is what we call a brand agent. The brand agent becomes your representative across the dozens of different AI assistance people are running. So you build it one time and you want to deploy it everywhere. Now You can see why this is the future of marketing, why this is the future of sales, why this is the future of engagement, so why should you care Wolfe, what? For 1, you need to make sure your product and service can be on this new future so that it can be useful.
Otherwise, people won't buy you. Number 2, you want to make sure your discovery of your product and service is also going with this new paradigm, this web 3 paradigm. And then beyond that well, if you run any kind of back office, you probably have tasks like content creation, maintenance, project management, accounting, finance, maybe you need to optimize your manufacturing, line. You know your business better than anyone, and you know what the obstacles are.
Now any of those processes, any of those departments Chaz also internally benefit from helpers. Ai agents that know your business, know your process, know your data, and can offer a helping hand. It is not human versus machine, but humans multiplied Yeah. By machine or agents. These are a few of the ways that, you should care. Now granted, if you're a blue collar worker and you go out and fix people's homes or like plumbing or something.
You may think, well, this sounds all very sci fi and all out there. I just go to people's houses and I I do my work. That's that's wonderful and great. For a certain segment of the market, they don't need to know how to putting his mate. They just need to be able to go to the store and buy the pudding. So for that, this is not gonna happen by us. We are not going to be the ones doing this.
But the Googles, the Microsofts, the OpenAI's, the Apples, they're going to create app stores with rebuild agents, rebuild functionalities. Think of it like an internet of agents. And if you are in such a position where you're not so technical, you don't think that you'll ever create your own agents or your own garage their opening agent that talks to unsupport. Well, then just look forward to leverage the technology that's already out there. And use it to your benefit.
You don't even have to create it to benefit from it. Yeah. That's incredible. The the story that you gave there is pretty, pretty powerful. From all angles too. In your best guess, when does this scenario of me sitting on the couch or you sitting on the couch? Having this whole thing happen. And me as the garage door, company owner needing to be plugged into this this collective consciousness. When when does this happen?
It is happening now, but it's not yet hit critical mass in the market where everyone buys their next phone because that's killer feature that they've come to expect. Right. We call this, like, inflection points in business. Right? We have reached, we've we have hit a few inflection points already. The first inflection point is, September last year. Wolfe, where all the tech giants committed to this future, 1,000,000,000 of dollars and and and their entire they bet their entire future on this.
So since then, in the words of Yoda begun the clone wars have, Alright. Yeah. From that point forward, it is not something that is if, but when. Yeah. Since then, the Chaz store launch was a major inflection point.
Last week, they made it possible to talk to your GPTs as if you're talking to a colleague by typing at and then the the agent name, which means that in a single conversation, you can have conversations with at researcher, at writer, at publisher, and it can take care of your entire work in a single conversation. This is the start of a multi agent future. Beyond that, Microsoft is making their co pilot part of Windows 12 as a core central part of that.
We feel like we're back in the Internet lower bundling days. Right. Right. Yep. Amazon has come out with 2000 devices to win your your your home assistant. Apple has committed a $1,000,000,000 in this field to catch up and and and win. Meta has announced and is rolling out their AI assisted technology across their billion plus users. So this is on Windows Copilot, and the business is very important as an inflection point. Microsoft Teams is used by a large portion of the enterprise. Okay?
These agents can be deployed via co pilots as members of your team. They're there in your company, in your Chaz, on your secure infrastructure. It's not it's not it. It's when, and in some sense, it's already begun. It just hasn't gained the massive traction where everyone's talking about it yet. Yeah. But that's why you listen to Chaz podcast because you want to learn these things before everybody else. Hey, Kings and Queens. Chaz Wolfe.
I wanna talk to you about something that's super important to me. We put a lot of time and effort. We meaning myself and my team into this podcast into the content that goes out every single day. And if you have been getting any sort of value or insight from this, we want it to be able to reach other business owners too. So we would love if you would like, comment, share, leave a review, post, share again, all of the things.
On social media, on all the different platforms, or even on the podcast mediums of Apple and Spotify. We would love to be able to our content into more hands, more entrepreneurs so they can grow their business as quick as possible. Together, we are building a community of like minded entrepreneurs who are committed to growing their businesses to new heights. So let's do this. Let's help each other. Let's help each other grow. That's right. I appreciate the plug there.
It only is created by great guest by you, though. So let's let's compare these timelines because you just made a reference to, you know, early Microsoft days you know, I can remember being a kid with AOL chat and dial up and, you know, even before that, obviously, with the dot com boom, and bust. And so you know, we're 2024 right now. We're we're in essence, let's just call it 24 years into the Internet. I know it's probably more like, you know, 40, but for the for the mass. Right? 25, 30 years.
What what do we look like here? What do we what Chaz we learn, I guess, from that maybe 25 year period to where we got in here because we know the Internet grew a whole lot faster than the previous technologies be because of the the design. And so we inherently know that this is gonna like, that hockey stick to mass adoption that you're talking about is going to happen faster Chaz can we learn?
I guess is what I'm trying to say from what we know of the early Microsoft days that you just kinda mentioned, that we can kinda, like, keep in mind as this thing starts to happen. Humans have a perception of time and an experience of time that is linear. The sun goes down. The sun comes up full moon, half moon, full moon, half moon. And we look at time as it is a linear thing. The way we anticipate problems.
If you are playing basketball with your friends and they always pass the ball like weak sauce, like, right, You come accustomed to it. Right? Right. If that same friend, all of a sudden, start passing the ball to you, like, unexpectedly. Super strong and fast and direct. Right. You're not gonna catch it. You're not gonna yeah. You're gonna catch it. Right. So the The acceleration rate Yeah. Of progress is really hard for us to wrap our brains around. Yeah. Understood. We're right?
So it's like living in linear time, but then progress passes as that basketball in a very direct way, and we're, like, not ready to catch it. In one year, humans produce knowledge or content. Chaz equates to the sum of all written knowledge in the sum of all human history. Including the year before this. Yeah. Well, that's incredible. The the rate of progress in every field is going to 100 fold 1000 fold thanks to AI. Our brains are not ready to understand or accept that reality. Not even mine.
Every single time I make a prediction about the market, things happen way faster than I could possibly imagine it becoming a reality. For software startup founders like myself, agencies, it is a very difficult time to be in business because how quick everything is moving and how quick you need to adapt. And to be honest, it can feel exhausting. It is it's very hard when you have to pivot and update so quickly.
In terms of understanding or predicting where the future is headed, and what lessons we can learn from the past is that the companies who are most agile lean and adaptable are the ones who are going to make it. There is no point fighting this future. You need to embrace it wholeheartedly. And if you are fat, you need to trim and get lean.
If you are not using these technologies, you need to realize that for 5 years from now, you may become irrelevant, not because you're not doing a good service, but because your competitors are doing a good service, one tenth of the cost. Yeah. And so the biggest lesson is that, yeah, people do adapt, and I believe humans will do amazing things in this future, and Wolfe have amazing opportunities. But the transition period is hard.
And it is the ones that are adaptable and lean and embrace this that will thrive throughout that period. Yeah. That's it it's it's good to say that. We understand that, okay. Yes. The the these practical things make sense. Give me a picture of what it looks like to toss me that ball with a little bit of heat on it, and it goes right past my hands and whacks me in the face. For your example, they're passing the ball. What does that look like in the market? Because you're right.
I've seen that happen even with with, blockchain. Right? Like, It was, like, really exciting, and it kinda whipped everybody in the face and fell off the map. And now it's kinda come back a little bit. It's like, what is this, like, ebb and flow of, like, getting excited, and then we get whipped in the face. And so we kinda back off, and then we get excited about it again.
Yeah. So the more proper understanding of AI is more like you would think about electricity than you would think about crypto. K. Once electricity was introduced, it took a while before we all Chaz cell phones in our pocket. Right. But it never really, like, went away. Right. And when electricity was first introduced, people were dreaming about a future with flying cars and so forth. Right? So you have the 2 aspects. Right? On the one hand, AI is not a fad. It is here.
It is it is improving every business aspect, and there's the direct consequences that are immediately obvious. And those are the things I talked about those do not rely on any new inventions. Okay? So let me make that crystal clear. Everything I said so far on the show is a future that is possible with current technology.
Yeah. At the same rate, you have a group of people who are thinking about AI that is so smart Chaz it will outperform humans and make humans irrelevant that will merge with machines that will your every disease will live five hundred years old. Okay? That is the same thing people had in the year 9 1800 they thought by now, we'd be living on the moon and, I don't know, you know, flying cars everywhere. There's the aspirational aspect and the unknown of how this technology progresses.
And here, we could run into a, the Gardner chart, the high the Gardner hype cycle Right? The peak of inflated expectations, we might be there now, with with this. And then you go through the value of disillusionment when you realize it is maybe not infinitely getting better financially in every direction. In other words, you're not reaching to Singularity tomorrow. I'm sorry, Reddit. And then you get to the plateau of productivity where everything kinda settles. Right?
When electricity first came around, If you would take it to certain tribes or villages, people would accuse you of a magician. Right? It feels like magic. AI right now feels like magic. And we're contacting Amazonian tribes who've never seen the outside world when I show what AI can do to My grandparents, they they can't believe it. Yeah. Right? Some will say, well, this is something spiritual. Like, don't trust this. Right? We because it's so foreign. It's like magic. Right?
We we have to distinguish where we are and what is the immediate 1st and second, degree consequences. And third and 4th, based on currently where we are, we have only begun to tap the applications of already discovered electricity in the form of AI. And then that right there can be in itself, a ball that is passed to you and you can't catch. Because if you don't catch that, everything I'm telling you, this is going to happen in the next year, 2, 3, 4 but it is already here. It is inevitable.
This is happening. However, the other part, the sci fi part, if you have huge expectations for that. You may also go through some disillusionment. GPT 5 may not be such a leap as you hoped it was gonna be. Right? And we may discover that it is too expensive and to slow to run at such intelligence. Or we may have to wait another 5, 6 years for a major breakthrough in architect or for hardware costs to come down even more before we can make that next leap.
There's many things that can happen that could lead to This appointment. Yeah. If you are of that group of people that expects sci fi tomorrow. However, the existing and I want to underscore this, the existing technology, the existing AI models are so powerful, and we have only scratched the surface. And with that, I mean, a surface of mild everest.
We've only scratched the very tip of that mountain in terms of what is possible in terms of it of being applied to our lives and changing how everything works in the market, how everything works in business. And we need to be agile to be ready to adapt to that. Let's let's keep using this, example of catching this pass here. And let's talk about practicals around catching the pass. Right? And we just talked about what happens if it smokes past my hands and hits me in the face.
Chaz kind of like reverberants, but what what can I do practically right now as an entrepreneur listening today? Maybe I've just started my business in the 1st couple years. Maybe I'm a big enterprise, and we're doing 100 of 1,000,000 of dollars. What can I do today that helps me get a hold of that pass when the ball comes to me? Right. So at the very minimum, you need to start exploring how you yourself and your organization can start executing an AI transformation.
Even if a human is still better at a certain thing, if you have not explored the limits of how AI can help you in that thing, You're behind. Because, again, today is one thing tomorrow something new can happen. And if you're not having already done the basics, you're not going to go to the next step, and you'll be behind. So at the very basic level, you need to do that.
And there is no reason why you cannot, using AI in many software services is integrated, Canva, Bing, you don't even necessarily have to pay for it for basic versions. So there is no excuse. And just fun fact, My kid was asked had trouble with an assignment. He didn't know what the teacher meant when they were asking a question. And he said my teacher is not I emailed the teacher not answering in real time, but I wanna finish my assignment now.
Every other question about the book and topic I can look online, I can ask for help, but I don't know what the teacher's thinking, so I don't know how to ask for help online. So we took a picture of the assignment. We gave you to AI. We asked it to help interpret what the teacher might likely mean by it and gave a really coherent answer. My kid, of course, was amazed that they could do that. And I said, look. You now have tools where you do not have to be stuck. Right?
It's like having the world condensed knowledge in your pocket. If Chaz a business, you don't you're not already doing the basics. Right? Start there. If you are more, ambitious, we created smithos.com, smithwoody, We created it with a future in mind where where you'll have 3 people operating a 100 agents. Right. You'll be able to do work with a hundred people with just 3 and multiplying humans. Right? Agent engineering. Multiage and system engineering, but let's just call agent engineering.
It's a core skill that I believe everyone should acquire if you want to remain relevant. If you know how to build, operate, and maintain agents, to do work at scale in finance, accounting, marketing, manufacturing, you take your specialty and knowledge of the of how to do the work, and then you apply that to build, operate, maintain agents, you will not be replaced. If you are a business owner, This is what I myself do. I will pick 1, 2, 3, 4 people depending on the size of my organization.
And train them to be agent engineers and have them actively start automating every part of my business. If you do not do this now, you'll find yourself at the end of 2024 against competitors who have done it. And you will just be amazed that all of a sudden, they can drop their prices tenfold, and you will be wondering How did I not catch that ball? How do I compete? At that time, it is too late.
How long can your business survive with a competitor who's ten times more efficient than you, not for very long, before you lose your customers, before you lose your brand, So if you are forward looking, I would say pick 1234 people in your organization, teach them agent engineering, and start automating every part of your business for efficiency. And, beyond that, if you're saying I really do not have the capacity to do this. That's okay too.
Just like the App Store, We're going to see agent stores. This is the end up up work and fiber. Okay? Instead of, Instead of having physical Chaz advise you, you can talk to agent Chaz who has all the knowledge of Chaz as a lower cost alternative Chaz still can do 80% of most things people will ask you while you're at the beach. And the agent is working on your behalf. If you're not into creating this yourself, at least be a consumer. If you have an organization, Go and upgrade to GPT for teams.
It's an extra 5 to 10 bucks or whatnot per month. But what you can do is you can have agents that are exclusive to your business, and you can have You Chaz have each department start communicating like that and create departments as such. So be a consumer if you're not gonna be a creator, not everybody to be a creator, we all have lots of apps on our phone that are useful that benefit us that we haven't made ourselves. So that would be my advice.
Step 1 is everybody, including my children, need to know how to use AI responsibly and effectively. Number 2, if you really want to swing for the bleachers go and learn agent engineering, Smith of West makes it very easy, but you can also learn how to code it yourself if you're brave enough and it's more work. Takes more time, but you could do that.
And then finally, if you're not going to build build anything custom for your own data, APIs, process if you're not interested in Chaz, at least start taking advantage of these emerging app stores or extension stores that will allow you to amplify your productivity. Make sure you're on the front lines at least of the consumption benefit side of this revolution. Yeah. You did it. I mean, all your answers have been so succinct.
The the piece there with Smith OS I wanna just give you an opportunity, a platform here to kinda give us a little bit more there. Obviously, that's your company, and this is what you do. So, yes, he gave you plenty of, like, maybe free or easy options. But if you're like me and you're trying to, you know, be ahead of the curve and not behind the curve, what what can I find specifically?
If I go to Smithos right now and I'm interested in engineering and implementing some of these things, what can I actually expect from you and your company? Yeah. So at this time, we're early access and we're we are picking and choosing a 100 companies or small teams to work with. Some are very large. I can't name their names, and some are very small.
And they're, they all have this thing in common where they want to be a thought leaders in their industry, and they want to tackle AI transformation head on. Before general access in our early access program, we limit to 100, so I have time to work with them personally, understand their problem, train their team, provide very intense support for them. This helps us in many ways as a company because we learn firsthand what their challenges are so we can make general documentation better.
It also allows me to, create some incredible applications of agents, and we are we Wolfe need another podcast to delve into what people are doing with this, but it could blow your mind. It will it would blow your mind what people are doing with this. And, Beyond early access, we will then open it up to the general public after some time, and Chaz will be very accessible, start very, very affordably and just scale up with based on how much work your agents actually do.
That's the metric by which you'll pay. So if you're just trying to learn it, It basically cost almost nothing if if not free. If you're then deploying it to actually start doing work in your organization, the, the comparison with hiring more workers that do the exact same thing will be so favorable that it's a no brainer and then the cost will drop up to 2000 percent in terms of the cost per task as you scale as well. Then you will orchestrate different AI models and tasks.
Well, good news there too. Chat GPT just last week cut their prices of input tokens by 50%. The 3rd time in 1 year they make a double digit massive cut in their prices. AI models are the next spelling of grammar checkers. Hey. They're trending to free. And so take advantage of Chaz. Cost is not the prohibitive factor.
If you're interested to learn how to become an agent engineer and for for sure, if you have an organization or business, which would really hugely benefit from having such optimizations. Be an early adapter before your competitors are, and I me and my team will personally help you make sure you successful in that training and you'll have a head start over everybody else.
If that's not you, wait for general access, and then you can play with it and explore in your own time, and then you can see, Chaz see how that will benefit you over, over a longer period of time. But at the very least, if you're not already using AI in your business, get familiar with the models, if you are a little bit more advanced, Be a consumer. If you're not going to be creator, be the best consumer you can be of these technologies. It's great. It's great.
And you've already given the website, but where can they find you? Or even if they just wanna find you online, where can they find you social? Wolfe, I I most post to LinkedIn. And, they Chaz this feature, like, it said, also repost to Twitter. The same thing. And it actually was not working. And I thought it was working this whole time, and it was not posting there. So I'm making a conscious effort.
Yeah. I'm making a conscious effort now to, like, post some repost some of my content to Twitter as well. Or x. And, yeah, mostly LinkedIn and Twitter. Alexander DeRidder. My handle is ADRidder, a ridder, and, my website smithos.com, smithwoody, and, yeah, it's a platform for easily building agents. Fun fact, we have writers, that learned how to be some of our best agent engineers. Even if you have no development background, you can make some incredible things.
That seems So Yeah. Don't need a degree in computer science to build agents just like you did not need to know assembly to make a website. That's right. That's right. Yeah. There's other tools in place now where that that becomes obsolete. Alexander, you are doing some incredible work. I think, you know, if anybody listens, like, truly to the message that you've given him, then today Chaz their their mind's gonna be spinning, excited.
They should wanna go do something about it because here in 5 or maybe even less years, but for sure, 10 20. Like, when we talk, you know, I mean, geez, 2 2024 when it's 2044, I I can only think back on this conversation, be like, I remember when I talked with Alexander, you know, like, you know, the the predictions of the future and AI, you know, If I can just I just there there was a time before you had your first computer.
And then the time you first had internet, And then there's a time before and after smartphones, the iPhone 2007, and there was a time before and after AI and chat GPT. Right? There will be a time before and after AI agents entered the work workspace as well and how society will change. Yeah. So if we think about the time the the the time we live in, think about in the last 30 years or so. Think about how many times we discovered fire or the wheel, and how the world Chaz changed.
It's before and after. Right? To this day, we say AD, Anodomini, after Christ. To this day, we say there was a before and then there was an after and the world was different. There's a before ai agents and there's an after AI agents. And we are privileged to live in such a time when we have such inflection points happening right before our eyes. Yeah. Wow. If that doesn't get you fired up and wants you to pay attention to what's going on in the world, I don't know what does.
Alexander, you are an incredible, human and a mind, and you're just doing incredible work. Thanks for being here. Blessings to everything that you touch here in 2024. I wanna be part of it. Wanna make sure my companies are on the leading edge of of AI, and I know many of our listeners will as well. So thank you for allowing us to do that. Thanks for being here, brother. Thank you. Thank you for listening to Gathering the Kings today.
I hope that you were able to pull out a few nuggets to go apply into your business right away. More importantly, though, I hope that you're realizing that it takes more to be successful than just being by yourself doing it all on your own, carrying the weight all by yourself.
What I have realized, not only in my own journey from multiple businesses and multiple different industries, and now interviewing over 2 or 300 other very successful 7, 8, and 9 figure business owners is that it's tough to do it alone. And so gathering the Kings exists to bring together successful entrepreneurs. In fact, we are putting together 1000 Kings. Specifically who are grateful, but not done.
We're intentionally assembling kings who fight tooth and nail for their business, family, and communities, and here's what we believe Chaz in the pursuit of excellence in those areas, that it ignites within us the responsibility to govern power and forge a lasting legacy. So if that relates and and resonates with you, and you know that you need people around you, sharp, qualified other very successful business owners. I want you to go to gatheringthekings.com.
Want you to take a look at what we're doing and see if it makes sense for you to be part of our pursuit to 1000 kings. Talk soon.
