Full Transcript

I come from a non-technical background. Back a number of years ago, I tried to learn how to code very unsuccessfully. But now those types of skills in a different manner are much more accessible and easier to access with tools like cloud code or cursor or whatever it is that you use. Good news is skills are simply a instruction manual for an AI model. They can work with cloud code, cloud desktop, cursor, gemini or anti-gravity or Gemini CLI which is another coding agent. These are portable between any AI that you use. Anyone can create skills, but I've noticed not all skills are created equal. So, what I've done with these skills is baked in years of expertise for, you know, marketing specific use cases. So, when I've created these, it took me hours and hours to go back with cloud code to provide it the context, the research what good looks like. Most people's major roadblock with AI is they don't know what questions ask and they don't know what good looks like. Really good skills help shortcut that process and get you to great outputs with AI faster. Over 500 people are already shipping with these skills. SAS, ecom, coaching, consulting, local businesses, agency owners automating client deliverables, in-house marketers wowing their team with their output, solo founders doing the work of a team, startups launching in half the time. You name it. Get your ads up quickly. Get your SEO going. Get your emails going. Get your lead captures going. Optimize your copy. Create a differentiated brand. And it's all here.
