BONUS: OpenAI Workspace Agents 101: Build, Run, and Scale AI Workflows

28:59And this is a free resource that OpenAI puts out. It actually teaches you how to use this stuff. So it goes through like what an agent is and it talks about the common triggers or the components of it. So there's a trigger, which is what starts the agent. So a lot of times what this could be is a schedule. So like Corey showed you earlier, 8 a.m. runs every hour. It can be a specific time, etc. Run now. It could just be when you chat with it. That could be the trigger. It could be when you receive an event. So you get an email in your inbox, the agent will then message you. um then there's process and skills which we talked about a little bit about for example uh you know skills like a skill creator skill or some of the internal ones that we talked about or um yeah like anything else that you can think of that you want to create some of the skills that i have at the neuron is to like write in the style of the neuron or to uh write specific formatted uh conversate or elements within the neuron yeah yeah so like for instance i have a skill that's like all about how to create like scripts, for example, for videos or a skill all to create like a podcast, you know, email deep dive.

30:10So things like that. Then there's tools and systems, which is what Corey's doing here, which he's attaching it to Little Caesars and he's going to be able to communicate directly with them. Let us know when you want to jump back on and demo where you're at with that. They talk about when it's most useful. So if a task is repeatable, so if the same task comes up regularly in your work uh if it's structured so there's a clear format for the output so for example some of the things i just mentioned is like yeah when we write the around the horn digest that's the same format every day so it's a pretty uh it's a pretty easy to automate situation um time-based or event driven so if it runs on a cadence or is it triggered by an event and then tool-based if it requires reading from or writing to systems that your team uses it found my little caesars just for an update oh very good but it's it's struggling with the delivery element we're going to figure that out cool cool you you keep us posted so there's a lot of really great resources on here i'm going to share this link in the chat so this is their academy page on this topic um and then it walks through the best way to create an agent so you know what we did so far is we've started it in plain language we just said hey we want to make an agent, figured out that we had to pivot, so we switched to a Little Caesar's agent.

31:29Then we chose the tools and connectors, so we added the Little Caesar agent here. And then we haven't chosen a trigger yet, so Corey, you'll have to decide when and where you want this to send you a pizza. And then something else you can add is guardrails. So these are boundaries, required approval, and any human-in-the-loop checkpoints for sensitive actions. and then you can always test your agents once they're built using preview and we'll show that off in a little bit little caesars fail it's not a no what happened he failed it's a little caesars fail all right what happened it's apparently not able to get a response out of their live ordering system it's failing to return a valid store for my address even though it's showing me the store's address.

32:17It says, here's the location. You know, the cheapest thing right now is to go put those things in the cart on the app or site. I can help by retrying in a moment, checking whether a nearby store, pickup store works better than delivery, looking for the best current deal to pair with this order once there's ordering service responds. I'm going to tell it one. Let's do one. Try again. Keep us posted on that. So another resource I'm going to share in the chat is this is a cookbook that OpenAI has created. So this will help you walk through how to create complete end-to-end work. They've got code that goes with this as well.

32:58So there's like a code version. I think it's just, yeah, I think it's just markdown files, honestly. And then they actually give you prompts to use, which is cool. So let me scroll down to that. All right, so here's an example. You can actually do this demo, right? You could describe this workflow. You can enter the following text in. Create an agent to help with sales meeting prep. And then it gives you a nice format. So it says, create an agent to help with sales meeting prep. The agent should check my Google calendar for tomorrow's customer meetings. Exclude internal only meetings and skip events with no external attendees.

33:32For each customer meeting, pull recent notes. So it basically tells you, like, here's the main tool that you need to use. Here's what you should exclude. and you should not focus on those. And then for each customer meeting, here's what you should do. So this is almost like a for loop. So like that's what that means for each, which means that for each of these events that show up here, you need to take this action. And then the final action is send me an email with a daily summary of these meetings with a link to the full brief. And so I'm actually gonna see if I can make something similar related to this while you're doing that.

34:09And then it goes into like how to attach the skills and why you would want to use the skills. So this is a really great resource as well. And they really walk you through like the entire process end to end. So if that agent that they just described, the customer meeting agent, sounds exciting to you, then definitely use this workspace cookbook and you can just follow the process directly from there. Where are you at, Corey? Struggling. What's happening? Little Caesar's website's not working. So I am checking other pizza places. No, that's the only one. Bummer. Okay. You know what they do have, though?

34:51They have DoorDash. Okay. There you go. Creative solution. Connect DoorDash. Use DoorDash. Sign in with DoorDash. All right. God, that's going to be a problem. How do I sign in with my DoorDash? That's one of those things you like sign into when you get a new phone. Yeah. I would say that the hardest part about all this stuff is all of the, like, connecting and, like, login management. Yeah. It's still very clunky. It is. And really annoying. It is. I'm betting I can get my little Caesars through DoorDat. That's what we're going to find out. We're going to see if we can successfully order pizza yet.

35:34Okay. OK, enter your six digit code. There's always a six digit code. All right. So I'm going to go ahead and try this guy here. So I'm back at the agent workflow. Oops, going to create an agent. I'm going to paste in this prompt that OpenAI provided through the workbook. And we're going to see if we can follow along and do this while Corey's building his. I think I may have this. Yeah, very exciting. Okay, so it's clunking along. Let's say we're going to run this every morning, start building. This is nice because you can ask for edits here. So when you put in like an agent, it basically creates an agent plan.

36:18That's awesome. Yeah, I like the agent plan. And you can edit it. You're like, actually, I don't want to do it that way. And what's cool about this, when you let the agent build it, is it's like you can actually see it thinking and working and putting everything together for you, which is really nice. Then it's basically what it's done is it's broken the plan up into tasks. And so now it's starting with the first task. So it's setting the agent name, chat GPT description. Very important. And now it's writing the instructions for me. So I don't have to write the instructions. It just automatically does it, which is great.

36:51Let me know when you have something to share. I can switch back. Okay. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. So what's going to happen is it just updated the instructions here. As you can see, it's put in role. prepare the daily sales meeting for briefing package daily scheduled workflow runs through the workflow briefing inputs now it's creating a live version so the daily schedule can be added adding the schedule for me default run 8 a.m pacific i know this is a minor thing but i really like that it has this little like icon but all right so now it's ready um but to actually the agent doesn't yet have the business apps it would need to actually read daily meeting data which is of course the problem because admin access so I'm gonna cut and try it in chat we'll see what happens so now I can say tell me what meetings I have today but as you can see and let me go back to my little sales meeting agent here under schedule I can see that it's already scheduled and I can either run it now or I can delete it or I can add a new schedule if I want to do a new schedule for it to run here and then I can also edit my agent at any time so I can click in here I can I think it can manually edit these just by clicking yep yeah so I can make any changes to this text if I notice it's doing something completely wrong I can edit it take stuff out add things in i can even tell it um hey please add xyz to the instructions and it will do that for me so let me see what would be a good fake example um that's a good question please add the ability to check slack are you sharing the wrong screen oh my gosh am i how long ago was yet?

38:46Just, you know, two minutes. Not that long. But yeah, so let me go back and show you what I just did. So I clicked on the agents here on the sidebar. And as you can see, there's a little timer at the top. And there I can see my schedule. And I see that it's going to run every day at 8 a.m. And I can hit run now to run it. Or I can delete this and maybe I want to add a new one. I can add multiple ones here. I think there's a limit of 8 to 10, if I'm not mistaken. And then I can click this button and I can edit it. And this is where I was saying I can add, I can request to add instructions. I can also manually edit anything in these instructions very easily.

39:33So I can just automatically say, make sure you call me Bob every time we chat. This is random, you know. And then I click update. And then it will go ahead and update the instructions. And then it will tell me try and chat to PT. And then that will open a new window here. And in this case, I can hit run now. And I'm going to run this schedule automation. And so it's running. Now, in this case, it doesn't actually have access to my email, but it's going to do something. So we'll see what it does. Maybe it'll tell me, hey, we don't have access to your email. Yeah. So we'll see what that is. Yeah, there's a replay.

40:18Mark. We now have the DoorDash order assistant that I'm building. Very cool. I had to kill it because it kept trying to go to Little Caesars because it was in the instructions. So I finally just said, you know what, let's stop here. Let's go back. We'll make a DoorDash assistant and we'll go from there. I want to comment one thing about the UI. you know that your agent is running because it will show the little agent tab above the chat window. So you see that there? That's how you know that the agent is running. Okay. So in this case, look at Robert said, I told it to call me Bob lowercase. It said, Bob, I couldn't complete the meeting qualification for a while because this run did not include any meeting calendar attendee list CRM notes.

41:03So that's because I did not have those connected. But if you are the manager of your own account, you can connect any application that you see fit. So it's nice and handy. Do you want to show us what you built, Corey? Well, it's still working now, but I sure can. Let me show you where I'm at. I'll still have to kill down over the address in a few, but DoorDash ordering assistant. Okay. Did it come up? Yeah. There we go. So this is my DoorDash ordering assistant. It is now up and all right. Recommend restaurants, stores, meals, sides, drinks, desserts, grocery items based on stated goal, cravings, dietary preferences.

41:48Okay. This is connected to your – Where can I get a pizza in 25 minutes? And you have connected this to your DoorDash account. It's connected to my personal DoorDash. Yeah. So it knows everything that your DoorDash knows. That's cool. Okay. And it's finishing up now. Yeah, so it'll have access to, like, my ordering history and be like, hey, you want some mascots again, Corey? You know. All right, it's ready to try. So what we're going to do is we're going to, let's go and. Oh, if you want to subscribe to our channel, let me share the link. Yeah, that would be great. There's a handy link that you can do.

42:28Handy dandy. You can use. And I will share it. Okay. So here it is. We can preview it. I'm going to say, please order me one large classic cheese pizza from Little Caesars. Doubling down on Little Caesars. Doubling down. DoorDash will deliver. Yeah. DoorDash will get me. This will work. Surely. Little Caesars, the box never works. So I'm going to assume that their website is similar. Let's do a poll. What questions do people have? Do you have this? Do you have access to this? Have you ever connected tools before? Have you ever used skills before? Let's talk about that kind of stuff. It said plotting.

43:21This is taking longer than usual. Feel free to check back in a moment. Okay. Still working on it. It'll take some time. That's one criticism that I've heard of workspace agents. I think you might have brought this up, Corey, is that they are slow. They are. They are slow. And honestly, it also depends on what it's connected to. If you have a tool you use that's always slow, like if your company project management tool is always bogged down, it's going to bog down too. So some of that is responsible. but some of it is just piping through a lot of things. There's a lot going on and they'll get faster.

44:05We're very early. Yeah. I think what that tells me personally is if you're going to use this tool, definitely set it up so that you can test it and make sure that it works and then use it on a scheduled automation so that you don't have to babysit it. You don't have to chat with it back and forth and have it run on your behalf. So then it doesn't matter how long it takes. You just have it set that it's going to run at eight. And whenever it's done, it'll let you know. Yeah. For the HIPAA BAA, does OpenAI have a minimum? You'd have to ask them, unfortunately. I don't think they share that, but let's find out.

44:43What's the BAA? That is their business agreement, account agreement, I think. It does not explicitly list a strict minimum user count, but it's generally targeted towards organization that can manage the technical requirements. So it says. So looks like if you want to sign up for this, for the BAA, this is if you want to build a HIPAA compliant agent, you would email them HIPAA request questions. Yeah. What the hell? I'm not able, I can't access the restaurant ordering side of DoorDash Connection in this workspace right now. I don't know what that's about. I don't know. Foiled again. Foiled. And maybe it's a workspace agents thing.

45:24These have only been out, what, a week? Yeah. Yeah, like these are brand spanking new. Really, really new. And the apps have been around for a while. Yeah. Oh, well. I'm going to respond while you're troubleshooting that. I'm going to respond to a couple of these questions in the chat. Or comments. Automations by Mike said, just started with skills a month ago, then went into Codex, used the agent builder this week to build an email agent to look for law firm leads, grade, and calendar appointments. That's awesome. Yeah, that's a great use case. Another one. With a$20 ,000 monthly spend. Ouch.

45:59That's brutal. That's not worth it, in my opinion. I just learned about skills this past week at a learning summit. The presenter built skills and prompt libraries for Claude, but assume my GPT account allows them. So John Costa, that is true if you have the business account. Business accounts do have skills. as far as we know the plus accounts do not have skills yet now is that true with codex because i know that they changed codex seats recently skills are in codex skills are skilled in codex you just cannot use them in the web app chat gpt tool yeah so let me actually pull that up and i can show codex because codex might be a workaround for this um for a lot of people who don't have a business account and i think that's a good point it's got automations built in i forgot about that yeah yeah so there's definitely they're not quite this user-friendly but they're not far yeah so i would say for people who want to do something similar to this but are comfortable having a little bit more back and forth in the chat um codex is a good solution yeah for sure for sure all right so i'm going to share my codex all right so i don't have the most up-to-date version on this computer just keep that in mind um so what you can do is you can actually have up here there's an automation tab i'm going to zoom in a bit so you can create a new automation you give it a title you give it a description you can use a template and they have a set templates here that are good starting points.

47:40So what I would do is I would probably pick one that's the closest to the thing you want to do and adapt it. So in this case, a lot of these are code related, so they might not make sense to you. Yeah, I think they're all pretty coding heavy in code. Yeah. Why don't we do this draft weekly? so draft weekly just call it xyz and then you can put whatever you actually want it to draft in here so um email weekly notes about my activities yeah my newsletters and um activities yeah scope and grounding this is where you would say you would say only search allowed URLs you could do this if you wanted to limit it to only give me emails or only review emails with and then you can list like all of your newsletter emails or something like that so that it's not searching your personal emails but it's searching you know the email addresses that you've allowed so like for example at the neuron daily.com and so you could say and I would say only search emails from allowed senders with the following main names and then you could uh list them out if you wanted uh and then for this use pr titles avoid claims you could do i don't know um give me a brief tldr 100 fidelity i'll say brief 100 fidelity tldr on the topics covered and any links to click to follow up on.

49:28All right. And then in this case, there's some stuff down here that's going to be confusing for non-developers. Let's see. You can run it locally in a work tree or in a chat. For you, I would just select chat, right? And then you could choose a pinned chat and select that option if it's available to you. In this case, I guess I don't have a pinned chat. So another way that you could do it is you can run it just directly in the selected project directory. So this is like co-work for anyone who's used co-work. And basically what you can do here is you can select a local folder on your desktop and you can have that be the destination that it's working out of.

50:04So that's a handy way if you want to get around work trees. You don't know what that is because that's more coding related. You can do a local folder and have it run there. And here you can see you can set the interval to basically every one minute if you wanted to. You can also yellow and let it run your whole machine. Yeah, you could like your home directory, although I don't advise that, but you could, of course, do that. I might be guilty. Hey, look, you know the risks. I know the risks. Yeah, they're calculated and I'm careful around certain things. But yeah, I just I just it took me about an hour to be like, yeah, this can have everything.

50:47This would be so much cooler if it can just touch everything. Yeah. All right. And then this case, what is this? I forgot what this is. Oh, this is the model. So in this case, I'm going to use GPT 5.5 and I'm going to use medium reasoning. Medium is really good. Okay. Medium is my daily driver. I use extra high when I've got a problem that's being a stickler or if I'm planning. Yeah. I'll use it to plan and I'll use medium to execute. So I went ahead and ran this. I think it should be working. Yeah, and so now I can click in here and I can see the chat. And now it's going to run the automation.

51:28Now, another way that you could do this is you could start a new chat. And in this case, I'm going to do don't work in a project. And I'm going to say default permissions. And I'm going to say, I am trying to create a scheduled automation to search my email every 30 minutes. This is another way that you can get started, right? And then I say, please help me walk through how to do this, following codecs, best practices, using web search to look up the latest docs about codecs. And then I'll say, as of today's date. And honestly, this trick, if you know how to do this, you're gonna be able to solve like almost every problem that you have because you can just have it look at the actual information what's the most up-to-date and then it can advise you how to walk through something and then you just say like help me through this step by step don't skip key terms or or forget to explain non-technical or technical concepts don't take for granted i know them i am non-technical so you can literally copy this prompt.

52:46I'll paste it. I might have to paste it into different chats. Into the comments? Yeah, I'm going to paste it in the comments. This is going to be like, I'm not allowed to access your email again. Yeah, but I can do that on Codex. Nice. The workspace might have other permissions situations. Alright, and so that's going to run. Let's see where's anything in the chat. Business associate agreement. Oh yeah, thank you for the right turn, Barbara. Appreciate that. Maybe the Little Caesars ordering system is looking for the store ID versus the address. That's a good idea. Did you? Yeah. So Codex is available.

53:25Oh, oh, never mind. Now I heard I was. Wow, I was lost for a sec there. So here's a couple of cool things that you can do on Codex. You can install what's called plugins. And these let you actually work with like connectors basically like here you can install Slack and then I'm going to go ahead and install that then you can install Notion GitHub Linear Gmail so I'm going to install Gmail in this case I'm going to turn that off let's see disabled by admin love it yeah oh man I have been able to do it in the past but interesting interesting Why don't I pull up my other computer and I'll show how to do it.

54:12Okay, that's fine. That's fine. If people want to see. I'm playing with their templates over here, trying to... I think I'm going to just make one. Industry brief. Ooh, yeah. This is going to make me an AI brief. Share your screen when you have something. Okay. Yeah, you're down for the moment. It's going to take you a minute to get set up, So I'll go ahead and share mine while we're in the transition of things here. All right. So what I'm going to do here, once you can see it, is I'm pulling up and going to use one of their templates. They have all these templates in here for a variety of things.

54:55And I'm going to take this industry brief, use template. Okay. I've created an agent from the industry brief template. Thinking. Got to let it think. All right. I need to follow proper template flow. Here it is. Broad apps. Upload files. Industry review. Does the business leader stay current on a chosen industry, market topic, regulatory issue, or technology category? Okay. Here in a minute, it's going to ask me what industry I want, probably. Unless it's meant to just do that at the, let's see how to work. Start by identifying topic, industry, geography, audience, and time horizon from the user's request.

55:32If the user doesn't specify a topic, default to AI technology updates. I love that. Ask at most one concise follow-up question when the missing detail would materially change the brief. Okay. All right. So we're going to see what happens here in a minute. It's almost finished. Also, I don't know if anybody saw this, but there was another thing they dropped today. I know we were just talking about codecs, so I'm going to mention this. and it's a thing that's available called Chronicle and it's apparently not launched but it is in Codex and I think from what I read it may only be Codex on Mac at the moment but you can have it do things like assess how I'm using my computer and find ways I'm being inefficient and do that according to Chronicle and it will come back and give you advice on ways to improve how you work within your computer, maybe things you should move to and from startup or things you might want to close more often that are bogging you down and all kinds of other stuff.

56:40Supposedly it's more. What I read is that Greg Brockman said it gives passive memory to codecs essentially regarding how you use your computer. So it's able to tell things from that. It's not like gathering everything you're, you know, everything you're typing and everything you're seeing, but it's figuring out usage patterns and stuff. Now available for ChatGPT accounts. 40 minutes ago, advanced account security. A new opt-in setting for people at higher risk of digital attacks with stronger protections, including phishing-resistant sign-in and more secure account recovery. That's kind of sick, actually.

57:17What's the benefit of that? I guess it's just added security for getting in and out of your ChatGPT account. Hmm. Okay. It says if you're a person at higher risk of digital attacks, like, you know, if you have a podcast. Oh, well, no, that's fair. Targeted at me. If you share your screen and give your permissions out freely. Exactly. Okay, so this is good. Customize it for my industry. okay so i'm going to say i want this to be familiar with creating reports on the ai industry uh the the semiconductor ai compute space and robotics feel like all of the most important things that i would on a day-to-day thing look at a good research assistant would be handy too i say research assistant more of a research wrangler it's like the volume of papers just keeps going up yeah i have to bounce but thanks for the informative session catch you at the next one thanks mike glad to have you appreciate it all Are you up and rolling?

58:39I am. I'll request... Add starter prompts for AI industry, semiconductor, and robotics briefings. So it'll even have prepped prompts in there. Heck yeah. Let me know and I can request access to take over. Okay. I'm going to go ahead and take you down and we'll see how this goes. I'm going to take me down so you can come on up. Yeah, so let me just show... Let me show how to actually integrate this stuff. I'm wondering if I can't remove your black box. Let me see something. I'm going to see if I can do it without hiding your screen. Oh, wrong Grant Harvey. Wrong Grant Harvey. I am so sorry. I am so sorry.

59:27Look, it happens. So what happens here is when I set up this integration, it's going to have me open up another screen and then it's going to have me log in with my workspace so in this case i'm going to find my workspace sign in with my email i'm not a robot i would like to reiterate what you said earlier that the hardest part is getting all your stuff connected yeah and the first time once it's done it's done yeah yeah so then then it asks me to sign up with my slack i'm not showing this just because i have to do like a private code putting that in and then now i can pull in let's see what would be a good workspace that i can connect this with tbd transform this into a business at some point okay let me use that one got a couple of couple of good questions here go for you're setting that up you want me to mind if i bring them up yeah go ahead first one's from louise here uh hello guys is it possible to hook up a workspace agent to an external API.

1:00:33I tried to set up a skill to do this. Auth was with an API key, and he helps greatly appreciate it. I don't believe there is a way to do that yet. Remember, these are still very much in research preview phase, so they're not probably as functional as they will be at some point. The way that you would want to do that, I think is make an MCP server for that API. And I don't know how you feel about Claude, but Claude has an MCP server creator skill. So you could go to Claude, have it help you create an MCP server for whatever API you're trying to connect to, and then use that custom MCP when you connect it in the workspace agent.

1:01:20So Corey, if you show that custom MCP on your screen, like under i believe what it is is when you get to the connector um there's an option for custom mcp and that's where you would do that yeah you might be you might be able to do it maybe i'll you can do custom mcp through chat gpt as well uh but i don't know about specifically the mcp server thing one sec sorry i just updated the app i'm gonna share it reshare it you're good i'm gonna pull this up sec, show it off. Like, I do think that's a thing that'll be possible. Grant, is it possible in Codex? That's what I was just looking at right now.

1:02:02Why don't I go ahead and ask? And if you need an external API, N8N is always an option because you can connect an N8N agent to literally anything you want. It's a little less user-friendly, but it'll absolutely do the job and you can make sure you're getting able to access what you need. And these are very much intended to be user friendly, I would say, and, you know, to be like agents that are accessible to a broader part of the population. So sometimes those sort of things go by the wayside. Yeah. But I mean, I believe the functionality is possible. You just have to get creative. Yeah. The other question is, is there a security feature to prevent prompt injection?

1:02:44So there is when you use. So I know that there's a guardrails feature when you use the agent builder tool from OpenAI. And in fact, I think that that's open on GitHub. Let me double check that. There's a guardrails package on GitHub that you can use. Yeah, this guy. Let's paste this in. So guardrails.openai.com. And you have to agree to their agreement. And it is a preview, but it shows you like all of the different ways in which you can use guardrails. And they also have, let's see, guardrails, Python SDK. That might not be what I'm thinking of. Oh yeah. So this is the GitHub for this. And what I would do with both of these links is I would send both of these links to your chat and I would say, read both of these.

1:03:44URLs and, you know, help me understand, you know, is this usable by me in this context? And it can walk you through that directly because that's going to give you better information than just me here on the stream. But yeah, I do believe that like both of those are usable. Whether or not they're usable with workspace agents is the TBD. But that's how they allow you to prevent prompt injections. The service I want to use only has an OpenAI spec, no native MCP set. Well, that's fine because what you're going to do is you're going to create an MCP out of it. So you're very new to the concept of MCP.

1:04:20That's okay. Basically, you use the MCP creator skill with Claude, and it will set that up for you. Because anyone can make an MCP server for anything, basically. Actually, I don't know if you can do it with their pro account. Are you saying you can't do it with Anthropics pro account? I have the ability to add custom connectors, but it's like the same way that it's done in ChatGPT, where you still have to have an MCP server URL. well the skill is to create that URL basically what you need is you need a GitHub account and on GitHub and basically the skill should help you create the code that you then publish to GitHub so you're getting the skill from GitHub no you're getting the skill from Anthropic natively and then once you create the code that is basically the server you publish it to GitHub so that you can use it and you use the GitHub URL for the server if that makes sense.

1:05:12Okay, here it is. MCP Builder. I found it. Yeah. Yeah. Ooh, you should share your screen then. Yeah, I can do that. I was going to grab a link and drop it in the chat too. Do both. Yeah. There's the cloud issue. So let's see what this says. Codex can help you build MCP server code and Codex itself can also be configured to use MCP servers. But for OpenAI, ChatDBT, Workspace agents, your custom MCP needs to be a remote MCP server, not just a local STDIO server. So you build the MCP server in Codex. It generates the server, tools, schemas, auth flow. So you can do it in Codex. And this is based on the Codex MCP docs.

1:05:52And then you would do this. This is very technical. I think the MCP creator skill will help you with this. And OpenAI should create their own version, basically. But I think actually you could use the skill in both, I would imagine. Yeah, skill's just a skill. The truth is you could absolutely... Download it? Well, it doesn't have a download option, but, I mean, you can click on every file in here and see them. And they've got copy-paste buttons. You'd just have to go through it the annoying way. I'm trying to remember, actually. You can use it in any AI you wanted, actually. Yeah, so if you go to...

1:06:33I think there's a place on the Claude app called Customize. then once you go to customize you should be able to browse your skills oh i didn't bring this up because you were still sharing i was waiting on you to that's fine you want me to bring it up if you yeah bring it up and i'll show you how to do this it's actually this is actually the move right here that you don't even have to use cloud if you don't want to oh oh in that case uh well hang on i'll show this since we're since we're already in here let me show you so you're gonna to need to install it first i went to customize skills skill creator and then up here you can go oh you go to browse skills and once you get in there over here you see mcp builder which you can then one button install and come over here and check out and then cory if you click that dot dot dot oh what my version lets me download it what oh you have to be on the uh you have to be on the desktop app so if you're on the desktop app you can download it got it got it yeah yeah so do that exact flow that cory did and you just take that um mcp builder you add it to your skills and then you hit the dot dot dot in the corner of the ellipses and it'll give you the option to download it then what you do is you go to codex and then you install it on codex or if you have a business account you can install it on uh the chat bt skills registry yeah which we can show how to do that if people don't know how to do skills if you don't know and you're interested we can absolutely the catch would be the time to download the actually i'll bet we could just go and get hub and download an mcp builder skill in 30 seconds yeah i just want to make sure it's the right one because you can't trust github skills on their own yeah yeah that's fair that's fair But I can show you on this computer.

1:08:24Is my stream still up or do I need to reconnect it? You're going to have to reconnect. Sorry about that. It's all good. It would be really nice if we could have, like, four connected at once because we both got a lot of things we're sharing back and forth. Yeah, that's fine. Okay, so I'm also going to open my Claude window on the side panel here. Okay. Plugins. So I think what you would do in this case is you would hit, So you go to plugins on codex. You would go to manage or sorry, create and then click create skill. And then I think you can upload the code. Yeah. So you would just upload the file.

1:09:00So let me go to the desktop version. Going to relaunch it real fast. See if you can download it out of quad. Yeah. I'll show. I'll show that process. So let me share the screen. Let me find out we violated the terms of service. No way. No way. I don't know. They're pretty stickler about that lately. Yeah. Well, anyway. So they wouldn't allow you to download it if they didn't want you to download it. That's fair. So I'm going to browse skills. I'm going to MCP builder. Add that. Just did. You can see my claw, right? Okay. Great. Yeah. And then now I'm going to... Oops. So now I'm going to go to my skills.

1:09:43And here's the MCP builder. I'm going to right click this. it doesn't okay so they don't let you download it which is that makes sense because other ones ones you create you can download um as you can see here there's an option yeah so they obviously don't want you to just take this but here's what you do instead you just you can also click the code button even and do it that way if you wanted you can copy it you can just copy all of this so you hit copy then you take this to um codex and you just copy all of that and i would just dump it all in one chat and say make this into a codex friendly skill yeah i'll show you i'm basically i'm gonna do the exact same thing i had a feeling that was gonna be the approach yeah so it's just gonna take a minute you gotta go through all this copy gotta do it the old school way you gotta copy and paste man making us work out here i know right Yeah.

1:10:44The much easier path is to do it in Claude. My thought is somebody's already done this. Yeah, they might have. You can check GitHub. There's a license, though. This might be against the license. I should probably read that. We don't need no thinking license. I'm just kidding. Forget I said that. All right, let's see. Absolutely should. We got about 10 minutes till we have to wrap today, folks. which should be just about enough time for grant to get through this tedious okay license at txt apache oh apache we're good all they've done is made it a pain then yeah they really want you to do it in claude is what is what it is okay so then now i'm going to switch back to codex oh i keep clicking the wrong button sorry about that so now what i've done is I basically shared all that information with it.

1:11:41And now I'm going to have it create a skill. And I'm going to say, yes, you can do this. And I'm going to just say, use the files verbatim. Yes. And make it work the same way. Great. But the much easier path is to do this with actual Claude. And the way that you would do that, while this is cooking up, is... You would go to a new chat and you would say at MCP builder. No, backslash. You're still showing the customized MCP. Claude screen. What? Interesting. Okay. One sec. Just click the wrong one out of habit or something. Yeah, I did. It happens. Create Doom game with cats. Okay. So then now you do at or backslash MCP builder.

1:12:31And then you can say, help me make an MCP server for this API endpoint that I'm trying to access. And say, I will eventually publish this on GitHub via private link so that I can use it via the custom MCP feature on Workspace Agents. And then I would say, write the code and explain it to me as a non-technical person so I can understand what you're doing. And then what you do is you then go and you add all of the context that you are trying to build and it will build it for you. I don't have any context in this case on what you're trying to build, so I can't do it. But what would be a useful MCP server to create?

1:13:29um um useful mcp server um connect to i don't know facebook ideas to connect to that was a good suggestion but i don't want to do it uh if you have a if you have a suggestion in the in the cloud sorry if you have a suggestion put it in the chat oh my head scrambled uh how about this that is to connect to little caesars to little caesars brought to you by cheap pizza bring it home bring it home y 'all all right so now what it's doing is it's reading the mcp builder skill that we've been talking about this whole time um okay connect to uk company's house all right well then instead of little caesars you would say uk company's house there public api yeah so and and you can even give it the docs like if you have the docs available for public API, I would just give it the link to that in the chat or even better, copy and paste it into the chat window.

1:14:27So then it has the context and then it will be able to write it for you. Yeah. If it's a public API, you'll have no problems whatsoever. Yeah. And then what you do, if Corey, if you want to share your screen again, once you have the GitHub, basically what you're going to do is you're going to ask it once it's done, be like, okay, help me publish this to GitHub and walk me through that. And then once you have the GitHub URL, you would then take it to what Corey's going to show on his screen, and you can use it with the Workspace Agent. Workspace Agent. Okay, I was opening GitHub. Hang on. No, no, no, full circle.

1:14:58I mean, we could show GitHub if people want to see that part of it, but yeah. Okay. Oh, this is done too. Make this agent live with Create. Okay, we'll open another window. Another chat GPC. I often have four to five windows open in the morning. I'll sit down in the morning, and I'll open each one of these to do like things I know I have going today and just let them work and go back to them later on when I have time. Okay. Yeah. And then over here, we were going to bring that up, right? Yep. Yeah. So you go to, you basically share, yeah, upload or connect a custom MCP. Yeah. You did for a second and then it dropped out.

1:15:43Yeah. Weird.

1:15:47uh joe bia or joe b armstrong um yeah i agree dude something i love about being early to the space is a collective learning journey the demo workflow mirrors my experience trial and error learning along the way and succeeding in the end yep pretty much i mean that's that's why i think we try to do these very raw to figure them out together because at the end of the day it's like They give you a very polished, look how easy it is. It's not often easy. So we try to teach a man to fish as opposed to give a man a fish. So we are trying to teach you how we solve these problems in the process. All right.

1:16:26So then what you would do is you would go to add more or create app. Create app. Create app. Yeah. No, no, that's right. And then see that where it says MCP server URL? that's where you post the GitHub URL. And you go down here and click this, give it a name. You'll have to give it a name and then hit create. And, you know, you can keep it private. You can share it with friends. You can upload it forever to everyone if you so want to. I don't recommend that though, especially not if you're on the credit card end of the API. Yeah. Now, one thing to keep in mind is it has to be remote. So make sure that you ask your chat, you know, how to how to set up the remote.

1:17:07And that just means you have to host the server. So normally you can host them locally on your computer, but you just have to host it somewhere so that you can access it. Yeah, that's the whole other thing that we don't have time to get into. So just ask your chat to help you with that. And it'll walk you through it. Before we wrap up, we'll hit this last question here from Prayful. recently nvidia ai has opened access to various open source and closed source models through cloud for free can you take some session on how to use it effectively i think that's a really good idea there's there's a lot of stuff nvidia has made available like when it comes to open source they've they've kind of gone a little deeper than most companies have like as a general rule you can get the model weights you can get everything and including the training data so you could replicate what they've built.

1:17:58And we just had early access for a couple of weeks to Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, which was really cool. You wrote about that on the website. Yeah, yeah. Really cool little model. We got an article up on our site about it. But it's essentially a fully Omni model that's open source and 30 billion parameters. So you could run it on an average desktop, a hot laptop, maybe. 30b is about as big as you'd want to go on most laptops i would think and it might even struggle with that but it runs really lean it's they've done a lot to keep the efficiency well in there like on average they say it runs 9.2x more efficiently than other 30b models and i would tend to believe that because having run uh namatron 3 super which is 120 billion parameter model it ran at triple the speed of of the biggest model i've ever ran which was previously 70b so as a whole they've made these these light and fast and uh what tool are you using to run that those were both lm studio cool yeah uh now i say that uh i was running uh nano omni through uh through like a collab notebook Yeah, that's right.

1:19:17But I didn't have it downloaded because I was on the road. And it was like I don't have my hot machine with me and I don't really want to form opinions on a model based on my laptop. We've done previous streams about open models. But perhaps as people are gaining or starting to understand why they're important, like before they were kind of like a niche thing. And now I think people are really starting to realize why you want these. You want to try and use an open model. We local model specifically will we can do another stream on that at some point. Yeah, we can. And we can we can pull in kind of different tools you can use different ways you can do it because now there's good mobile apps where you can run them on your phone.

1:20:00And like LM Studio now has a web version. So from on the web, from when you're out of town or wherever you are, you can access local models that run on your computer at home and you can access them on your phone. They also bought locally AI, which is an app I've been using on iPhone for a long time to run local models. So there's lots you can do and there's lots we could talk about. Grant and I will nerd out on this big time. Yeah. I might even be able to get us. I'll bet I could get Chris. might even be able to bring someone from NVIDIA to help us show these off. Let me see what we can do. We'll see if we can do that.

1:20:40That would be great. Yeah. It would be good to have a live NVIDIA demo on the channel. It would. That would be fun. It would. I know you got to go. Folks, if you have questions about workspace agents, as you can tell, they're a week old. We have been using them. We've been testing them out. We've been, you know, connecting them with stuff when we can. You know, you can't always connect everything. that depends on your workspace policy. But our inbox is open. You can email us at team at the Neuron Daily and ask any questions about workspace agents. And we will also put together a blog recapping this and all the other material that OpenAI has put out there that'll go much more in depth.

1:21:19So we'll be sharing that once that's ready. Awesome. If you haven't yet, please take just a moment to subscribe up above. Like, that really helps us get to do more of these and keep showing, you know, the value of it to people. And we're always excited to hear what you'd love to see because we're down to teach whatever works or to bring people on, whatever the case is. And look forward to doing it again with you soon. Make sure you check out the podcast episode we dropped yesterday. It was an interview with Kendall Rankin from Google's producer AI that I believe is now Flow Music as of this week.

1:21:55Flow Music. And it's a pretty cool interview. and it's a little off the beaten path for us talking about something we don't usually. And it's a subject I'm pretty passionate about as well. I have a lot of fun with music. So I think that's it. Is that it for you, Grant? Yeah, I think so. Just make sure to check out the website. Check out Around the Horn Digest. We write every day. I spend a lot of time going through every link that I can find that looks cool about the industry to try and track what's happening. So make sure you check out that every day in addition to the newsletter if you have some extra time.

1:22:26We also just dropped a fun story about the Codex Goblins. Goblins! I can't believe we got through this whole thing and never did it. I was going to tell Corey it's his fault that Goblin, but it was not his fault. They over-indexed on nerdy personality. My D &D group just blamed me on Discord, too. They reached out and they were like, this is absolutely your fault. Yeah, if you miss what we're talking about, go read the Neuron from today. Yeah, go read the Neuron from today. They'll read Corey's website or web article. He'll explain what happened. Yeah, yeah. I'll drop it in the chat here real quick.

1:22:59One second. Just that way it's... Goblin mode. Here if anybody wants it. Goblin. Good call. We have the technology. We do. We have this fancy technology. It's called copy paste. Yeah. Honestly, the best technology ever invented. I got to go do it the hard way. I got it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's a fun article. And it's... Corey's article on goblins. They shared the full story about why goblins became a problem for OpenAI recently. And it's really fascinating. It gets into model personality drift and stuff. So have fun. We appreciate all of you. And if you do set up a workspace agent, let us know at team at theneurondaily.com.

1:23:40And let us know how it works. And send us feedback on what's broken and what's stuck. And we'll try to help you fix it. That's right. Thanks, everyone. farewell for now humans bye-bye this is the moment where i have to awkwardly stare at the camera while i figure out where the stop button is if you say this long you're
