Meet the AI Agent Turning Simple Prompts into Viral Content

0:00Today we're going to talk about how to use AI agents to get the most out of these creative AI tools that I'm sure you've seen and played with. I'm sure you've played with Nano Banana. Maybe you've seen Kling. Maybe you've seen One 2.2, Sora 2. You've seen them, but you've also seen that there's some people that are able to get 100x out of them and other people who are just prompting it and being like, what is this slot? And I believe that the way to get the most out of creative AI is through two things. It's through understanding how to prompt properly and understanding different workflows. So actually stitching together multiple of these tools.

0:38And today we're going to go through an app called Glyph. I have no affiliation with them. I just saw it online and started using it recently that actually does this for you. It automatically prompts, formats it for you, and gives you some workflows. And why I think it's interesting is the people that could unleash creative AI have an unfair advantage because those are the people that are going to be able to create big audiences, ads that outperform, you know, vibe coded websites and apps that don't look like every other vibe coded app. So I'm particularly interested in figuring out how to get 10x out of more with creative AI.

1:19And my thesis right now is it's through AI agents and apps like Glyph.

1:32So this is a tutorial for beginners. I'm going to go through Glyph. We're going to go through Glyph together. I've been using it for the last 24 hours, and let's just see if it's any good. And by the end of this episode, I think you'll have a good idea of where prompts and workflows and tools like Glyph fit in here. So the four use cases that we're going to go through today, we're going to actually see how to use Nano Banana Ultimate AI Agent on Glyph. So we're going to try maybe creating a YouTube thumbnail or something else like that. We're going to see how you can create these videos with just little mini figurines Why?

2:16Because that type of video has actually been going viral recently And I think it's really interesting We're going to talk about how you can create AI influencers That's going to be helpful if you're going to create organic content You want to create multiple accounts Or even you want to create ads, right? And then we're going to talk about how you can create I'm sure you've seen on TikTok those Reddit stories how you can create these workflows that automatically, you know, go and find these stories and then create video content around that. So you can create these meme pages and stuff like that.

2:49The whole purpose of this video is to get your creative juices flowing, that you leave stronger than you came with. So like and comment. And I have no affiliation with Glyph. This is a tool, again, that I've found on the Internet. Let's get into it. so when you log into get glyph it's free to sign up you're going to see that there's the workflows and agents we're gonna in the agents section uh you can see that you can actually just go and hire so to speak an agent uh and that's where you kind of want to start why why do you want to start here is because you don't have you can obviously build your own agent or build your own workflows but it's the simplest just to use someone who's optimized it already uh and this is an episode for beginners.

3:34So you can see here, here's the Nano Banana Ultimate. And if you're anything like me, you've used Nano Banana, and sometimes you get amazing results, and sometimes you don't. And I think it's because of the prompting. So let's go ahead and see if Nano Banana could go and redesign one of my thumbnails to be more Mr. Beast style. So I'm going to go ahead and copy this into Glyph. So I'm going to say, hey, I'd like you to redesign this thumbnail to be Mr. Beast-esque. I'm going to say to be more Mr. Beast-esque. I want higher CTR, more contrast, fresher. I don't know the stuff that gets Mr. Beast tons of views but for my type of content so if I were to actually put this into Nana Banana regular I would I would actually get a thumbnail that probably isn't the YouTube size it probably would be all over the place my face wouldn't would look different so let's see if it actually does something a little bit better so it asked me to drop the thumbnail so I'll go ahead and drop that again and we'll get to work cool Sam Altman the co-founder of OpenAI just said that it is the era of the idea guy and he is not wrong I think that right now is an incredible time to be building a startup and if you listen to this podcast chances are you think so too now I think that you can look at trends to basically figure out what are the startup ideas you should be building.

5:30So that's exactly why I built idea browser.com. Every single day, you're going to get a free startup idea in your inbox. And it's all backed by high quality data trends, how we do it, people always ask, we use AI agents to go and search, what are people looking for? And what are they screaming for in terms of products that you should be building. And then we hand it on a silver platter for you to go check out. We do have a few paid plans that take it to the next level, give you more ideas, give you more AI agents and more almost like a chat GBT for ideas with it. But you can start for free, ideabrowser.com.

6:12And if you're listening to this, I highly recommend it. so my hope is what it does is it yeah analyzes the image this is sort of the missing step um one of the missing steps in nano banana and other creative ai tools is uh you know it we need to analyze this and then we need to figure out what is the best prompt based on that right so it's it it gives me the prompt here's your mr b style redesign a high energy youtube thumbnail redesigned featuring a man with short wavy brown hair and glasses making an exaggerated shock expression of course so this is very very mr beast you can see it has the aspect ratio so you hopefully get back the youtube uh thumbnail in the right size and it creates three different variants red explosion split screen interesting that it includes this because this is like a tried and true format in YouTube when you have a split screen.

7:11Maybe it's like a sad face on the left and a happy face on the right. And then it asks you to generate. Okay, cool. I've gone ahead and by the way, I've added$10 of credits for this video. It's cool. Actually, I didn't see like a monthly fee. I just saw you can buy$10 of credits. But you could use this for free. I tried doing this for free and you get like a few prompts for free and if you actually want to go and create videos and multiple images you're gonna need uh 10 bucks or something like that okay so i mean pretty pretty amazing like i couldn't have gotten this out of pure nano banana so i needed the training wheels i needed the help here um and i bet you like i should a b test that i don't know what happened to my top lip but you know this this is the type of thing that would work um and it's definitely you know it's definitely what's also cool is i've used this image before so now i've got this like other image that i haven't you know i didn't have to go and do a photo shoot for so love that it's done that um and uh that's nada banana ultimate where i can see myself using this also is uh just you know icons make it a mascot uh for my my startup, ideabrowser.com.

8:35You know, there's so many, you know, brand identity stuff and just creating references, images that you can go ahead and use in other creative AI. So I would say that this, this was really good. It, it, it definitely exceeded my expectations and I can see myself using this. Okay. So the next, the next demo that we're going to do is the miniature history for brands so we're going to go back into um the agent area and you can see here uh this agent uses cdream and wan 2.2 with 11 labs to create a short 32 second tilt shift uh and you can see here that these are the little videos i was talking about i just think this is cool because um you're you're constantly looking for as a brand you're constantly looking for ways to tell your stories.

9:29And if you can tell your story in something that's a little more interesting and a little more scroll-stopping, then you're increasing your odds of probability of success.

9:42Here they're using the example for history, but I think that I'd love to give it a story. Let's just click here. Tell me what I can do and see what it says. I create historical videos and tilt-shift miniature shows. So here's my process. You give me a historical topic, an event, a figure, an era. I research it. I create a video plan with four varied image scenes, a narrative voiceover, an animation prompt for each scene. You approve the plan. I generate everything, tilt-shift images, voiceover animations, period-appropriate music. I stitch it together with subtitles, and you get a 40-second historical documentary that looks like goes filmed with a miniature diorama okay so that's really cool so um the historical topic let's do do the historical topic of um facebook going ipo so i don't know how historical that is but i'm just thinking um i'm just thinking like i have this business ideabrowser.com which gives people startup ideas, gives people prompts to go build those startup ideas.

10:54So if I'm trying to build, let's say, an Instagram account, I might want to share stories of founders who've created really big companies. So you can see it's gone and created the image prompts to start. So you can see the scene one, modern glass wall-off building, exterior in Silicon Valley, the different scenes here, interior of the NASDAQ stock exchange, Young tech CEO in a casual hoodie. And it's gone and created the voiceover script. May 18, 2012. Facebook prepared for the most anticipated tech IPO in history. Mark Zuckerberg social network would go public. Shares priced at$38. So it's gone and actually researched with perplexity to go and actually get the facts straight.

11:42Of course, if you're doing this, I would want to make sure, just double check that it's correct. you know perplexity could be wrong um then it gives you the video animation prompt so it does it for c dance light which is great right because for most of us we would just probably go into sora 2 um we wouldn't be stitching together c dance or and others like that and it goes and does it and says and it says uh does this plan work for you we're just going to say just generate it um but you could adjust the scripts uh you could change the video style and format if you don't like it um and what is happening right now is it's uh it's it looks like it's creating all the yeah oh my god are you kidding me yeah this is crazy like that's the reference images how cool is that how cool is that and that's the the audio um so it creates the audio here um and here and And then it says, do you want to generate the video?

12:47So we're going to go ahead and generate the video and see what happens. So it's going and creating the videos. And a lot of people will look at this and be like, this is so silly, right? Like, why? Like, historical videos? Like, it's so silly. How is this going to make me money? How is this going to get me followers? How is this going to get me likes? Well, I think it's obvious how it's going to get followers and likes. I think the non-obvious question is, how does this help my business? And whenever you're thinking about building your business, I always think about it like this. I call it the ACP funnel.

13:28I've talked about it on the pod before. First create an audience, then create a community, then create a product. So it's literally a funnel. It's literally a funnel. And, you know, I think, you know, you start with an audience and you can tell stories. This is where you can tell stories. And this is where creative AI really plays a huge role. And then from that, you know, maybe you create a paid community, IRL events. And then from that, you're going to figure out what your product is. And that's when you vibe code something and that's when you sell it to them. So this is sort of the framework I use when I create any of my businesses, when I'm buying businesses, when I'm investing in businesses.

14:09And I think this gives you the highest probability of success. Let's go back to the glyph. So now what it's doing is it's mixing the background. So it's actually created background music at a low level. So it knows that, you know, it's not just doing voice over, but it knows that people like background music, right? Like these are the nuances that you might have forgotten if you were just creating this on your own. And this hasn't taken that long. I mean, we're talking about a few minutes like this. I've paid agencies to do this sort of stuff and it's thousands of dollars and it's ready so within about, I don't know, five minutes we've been able to do it and let's go ahead and watch it May 18th, 2012 Facebook prepared for the most anticipated tech IPO in history Mark Zuckerberg's social network would go public shares priced at$38 on NASDAQ but technical glitches delayed trading investors grew anxious as the system struggled to keep up zuckerberg retained control through special voting shares but behind closed doors underwriters had quietly cut their revenue forecast days earlier the stock barely rose on day one within weeks billions in value vanished the dream ipo became a cautionary tale of hype so i mean is it perfect absolutely not but from a one shot i think that was pretty amazing and you can see how you can go in and and create and take it to the next level right so there you have it folks we created a mini a mini documentary in just a few minutes uh the next thing i want to do is i want to explore their ai influencer agent so uh let's go watch this i can't believe i'm not real can you i can't believe i'm not real can you i can't believe it either like that you're able to create something this good uh and you're gonna see you know the rise of ai influencers it's gonna be a it's good it's happening and it's it's becoming a thing i can't believe i'm follow me through a day in my life collecting and cooking totes for the algorithm this is more like fantasy right that is a nice and chubby one indeed like imagine you know this is more of like a storytelling thing and this this feels more real um it depends what you're trying to do right um but let's just say let's see you know one thing you can do is you can just click tell me what you can do and let's see what it says so it says that it creates uh talking head videos generating realistic photos, turning those photos into talking, singing, singing videos with lip sync.

16:59We can use various voice styles, you know, influencer, amateur, and you can add music. So let's just say we want a talking head video. Yeah, let's do a talking head video. And why I think, you know, I think talking head video is just from like a video ad perspective, is very, very helpful. And also, if you're trying to create influencer accounts, gone are the days where you create one brand account. You create one brand. Let's go back to here in a second. The old way of doing accounts, brand accounts, social media on brands, was you create one brand account.

17:50and that brand account might have been on multiple platforms so maybe it was on

18:02instagram and tiktok so you just do multiple platforms that was the idea but today that's This doesn't really work that well. You actually want to create something like 10 accounts. Well, here's the way I think about it. One brand account, 10 people. Some of those people could be real people, and some of those people could be AI influencers. but having these people on multiple platforms and maybe only two on ten pop off or one on ten pops off that's going to help basically create this brand and get more followers, more likes and this is sort of the evolution of marketing this is more vibe marketing you're kind of like vibing using tools like Lyft to get followers and this is just you're reliant on people I think that I don't want to see a world in social where everything is AI slop, of course.

19:08But people listening to this podcast, the Startup Ideas podcast, you want to increase the odds of success in whatever it is you're doing. And the reality is AI helps to do that. So going back to the glyph chat, it needs to know, okay, what type of character you want in the video? Who should it be? Let's just say we want a 35-year-old woman, brown hair, blue eyes, who is wearing tennis clothing because we are a tennis brand. Say you're a tennis brand, right? And you want someone who represents the brand. Maybe you sell tennis rackets. Maybe you sell accessories. So it's gone ahead and used Quen Realism, which again is something I would probably not be using.

20:12I wouldn't think to use it. Let's go ahead and see what happens here. I mean pretty great reference image um and then it says what do you want her to say um maybe I don't know about you but tennis has become my life so you know you do need to have like a hook right so I actually would have loved if it if it gave me optimized hooks. But maybe if I did prompt it and it was like, I want to do a hook and here's my script, what is the best one? Maybe it would have done it. So then it says, what kind of voice do you want her to have? Amateur, raw voice, authentic. So I think amateur just because it feels like, imagine you're going through stories.

21:13The best videos are the ones that feel real, not super polished and that sort of thing. So then it says they have the audio and it says, do you want to create the talking head? By the way, everything that we've done so far from a credits perspective, we've used about$2 worth of credits so far. so all of this has taken about two dollars the audio here uh the the thumbnail and the um oh of course the documentary so all of it which is absolutely crazy so i think that using a tool like this is going to be cheaper in the long run because you're you're prompting it less you're getting more optimized stuff and realistically it's going to save save you time so now it's using OmniHuman to create the image and the audio to lip sync to the video.

22:10Probably take a couple minutes.

22:17And let's maybe come back to this.

22:28Or no, we'll just wait for this to complete.

22:37So it's finally finished the output. It's taken eight minutes and eight seconds to create our virtual influencer. Let's see what it sounds like. I don't know about you, but tennis has become my life. So I think it sounds amazing. I think she looks a little too AI for me, but still it's like 95 % there. I think that we can prompt this to get it feel like more like she's on the courts or in her kitchen. The background for me, the fact that it's gray feels like it's a bit staged and a fit to AI. But I know that we could get it there with just prompting a little more. So really cool that this worked.

23:27The last use case we're going to show is these TikTok Reddit stories. So I'm sure you've seen this on TikTok, you know, like the Minecraft videos, basically. It's brain rot for sure. But, you know, some people love them. This has 43 ,000 likes. You know, if you can find a way that you can use Reddit for these interesting stories, post it. Again, create audiences, create likes and ultimately sell some of your software or startups. that's that's what you you know is a good is a viable channel for you so can glyph figure that out for us um so i'm gonna say go and create an awesome uh tiktok video from the r slash sas subreddit why why from the r slash so if i'm doing this for you know ideabrowser.com you know SaaS subreddit I'm sure has a bunch of startup people who've built software as a service.

24:31And I would want to attract those people. So it's gone ahead and used web search, Excel web search. It's found how I built a$1 million SaaS just by posting on Reddit. So classic hustle story, underdog story. And then it asks you to pick your style of prose, drama, educational, mystery, lifestyle. In this case, educational. We want to teach people about building software, building SaaS. How fast do you want to go? Ultra fast, fast, medium? Probably pretty fast. But it's cool that you're able to drip feed that context into it. Do you want a Gen Z brain rod balance or thoughtful? Let's go with more of a balance vibe.

25:20Let's go with more of a balance vibe. and let's say we want to do 60 seconds i'm actually surprised that uh you're able to do such long videos within within glyph you know think it would be like 10 seconds 15 seconds here you can see that it's creating seven clips that are eight and a half seconds each oh so that's it so it's basically creating these clips and it's stitching it together you can see that it's creating the audio. Here's the hook, the problem, the strategy. So it's already gone ahead and created the script. The script is, you know, a developer turned a Reddit post into a million dollar SaaS.

26:05Here's how he did it. You know, went on Reddit, identified subreddits where his target customers hung out, provided genuine value, shared case studies, answered questions. I'm going to say can you make this script more narrative driven more interesting more specific and just see what happens that's to me that script feels a little more a little mid so here we go in 2019 a broke developer named Tom had$47 in his bank account and a SaaS idea nobody wanted to fund He couldn't afford Facebook ads, so he opened up Reddit and found his first customer arguing in the comments of r slash sass. Tom spent two hours every morning answering questions and five subreddits, no links, no pitches.

26:55So this is good. So that's just a quick tip, I guess, is you kind of push it to create better scripts. Start production. I click start production. Now it's draining these audio segments in parallel. It uses 11 Labs to go ahead and do that. I could see on the side that my credits are starting to drain. That costs about 40 cents or something like that. It uses a custom FFmpeg tool to actually stitch it together. And yeah, hopefully it creates something that's interesting.

27:39uh i will i wonder if there's like a workflow that you can just run every single day to go ahead and create some of this i'm sure i'm sure there is um but you know i'm not going to figure that out in this in this episode this is this is for beginners but you know you can imagine if this works you're just going to have this on on you know on on repeat right it creates this facebook sorry it creates this faceless short form production engine that every single day you're getting content and creating followers creating likes etc so it says retrieving pexel videos in in parallel and it's got seven on seven unique clips let's go ahead and continue it says trimming all unique clips to audio length and using make from assets v2 so it's creating the video from the images that's really the key with creating ai video is really the images having great reference images having great scripts so you can see here It's already created it.

28:50And it's going to go ahead and stitch it together. So let's watch a couple of these. Let's see if we like it. 2019, a broke developer named Tom had$47 in his bank account and a SaaS idea nobody wanted to fund. He couldn't afford Facebook ads, so he opened Reddit and found his first customer arguing in the comments of Asa Sa 'as. Tom spent two hours every morning answering questions in five subreddits. No links. So it's missing the subtitles, right?

29:26And, you know, if you didn't like any of these, you can obviously edit them. But pretty cool. So here, it's got the master video here. That's fine.

30:08solution. He hadn't even built it yet. He coded for three weeks straight, launched with a simple post, and got 340 signups in 24 hours, all from Reddit. 12 months later, he had 4 ,000 paying customers. Reddit drove 67 % of them. His CAC was literally zero. Today, Tom's SaaS does 1.2 million in ARR. That's not Tom. He still spends 30 minutes daily on Reddit because it works. so it's not perfect they could have brought Tom back oh now it's adding music the background music

30:49and it's missing the subtitles but you get the idea obviously you would change some of this this is one prompting it I do think the script is pretty good I would change let's watch this real quick

31:07Not bad. Okay, adding subtitles to the video. So yeah, I would say you probably can get this to work. You can probably get this to work, right? I would have loved to have one prompted this and it completely just blew it out of the water. I think that it took two prompts to get a good script. I think that obviously the short form could be way more optimized. why are you opening up Canva? Why is it showing a woman when it's talking about Tom or whatever his name is? Bring back the character and stuff like that. And that's where you come in. You're the creative director. You have to push this thing.

31:50But overall, the fact that you can go ahead and create this, oh, here we go. Here's the masterpiece, the final video. Let's watch like 10 seconds of it. In 2019, a broke developer named Tom had$47 in his bank account and a SaaS idea nobody wanted to fund. He couldn't afford Facebook ads, so he opened Reddit and found his... Like, it's not bad. It's not bad. Tom spent two hours every morning answering questions. I mean, obviously it's bad. Like, in the sense that there's some stuff that we need to change. But it's close. It's like it's the last 20 % which we need to get to, right? So overall, like I am impressed.
