24 NEW Things You Should Be Using AI For...

You probably haven't heard of these AI

use cases that I'm about to show you.

First, let's start with shopping and

deals. These are use cases that I have

actually been using. Let's say you're

very familiar with one product and you

need to find something that's comparable

and to compare them. This happened to

me. I have had a Dyson vacuum that has

been broken for years. So, I wanted

something else. I wanted a comparable

vacuum from a different brand. So, here

we go. What's a comparable vacuum to

Dyson cordless? Short, simple, and look

what it gave me. So, what to look for?

Battery runtime, suction power, and

floorhead compatibility, filtration,

weight, versatility, and it gave me some

options. These Shark vacuums, these are

cordless, they look almost identical,

and it says the Shark brand are higher

quality. Here, it gives me a breakdown

of why I should choose Shark or these

other options over those Dyson vacuums.

It asked me some follow-up questions. If

you tell me your budget and main

flooring type, I can pick one to two

best fits for you. And I just said the

Dyson broke all the time. And so, it

focused on product quality. So, it told

me Shark, Stratos, cordless, and I ended

up getting the corded version, but I got

a Shark. And by the way, if you want 100

more use cases for artificial

intelligence, you need to download our

brand new guide, 100 use cases for AI.

It is completely free. All you need to

do is subscribe to our newsletter. I

will drop the link down below. Go get it

right now for free. Next, one of the

most frustrating things is buying an

Apple product and then a week later the

new refresh comes out and you're kind of

just out of luck. The best time to buy

any product is when the most recent

refresh occurs. And that is especially

true with Apple. So, you simply ask it,

"Hey, I'm on the market for a MacBook

Air, and I want to know what's the best

time to buy. When was the last Air model

released? How big a step increase was it

from the last generation? When do you

expect another new model? And when will

it be released?" There used to be entire

websites dedicated to knowing when to

buy Apple products. And by the way, this

doesn't just apply to Apple. This can

apply to any company, especially ones

that have very frequent releases. Here,

it asks me to clarify which air size am

I interested in and what chip am I

interested in. But again, what I really

want to know is when's the best time to

buy the latest version. So, it gives me

an entire breakdown of the differences,

the changes. I don't really want to read

through this. I just want it to tell me,

is it a good time to buy? And at the

very bottom, for the buyer who

prioritizes getting the newest Apple

Silicon in the MacBook Air, you should

purchase it right after the chip update.

Given the March 2025 M4 release and its

clear advantages over the previous

generations, now is an excellent time to

buy. And it even gives me its update

schedule. So, Apple typically updates

the MacBook Air roughly once per year.

The M2 was July 2022, M3 March 2024, and

M4 March 2025. So, the best time to

purchase right now. And you can also ask

it about discounts or special deals that

they have. So, here's one for an

Aventonin, which is an electric bike.

Chances that Aventonin will put the new

Aventon Abound SR on sale for Black

Friday this year. And it said, "Short

answer, moderate to low chance gets a

real Black Friday price cut. My best

estimate is 55 to 60% no discount, 30 to

35% small cut and 5 to 10% meaningful

promo and it of course backs it up with

information that it researched itself.

Now let's move on to the category food

and home. First is tech support. This is

something that I use AI for all the

time. So in this example, I didn't even

take a picture. We have an Epson NX127,

which is a printer. power and ink lights

won't stop flashing. So, it looked up

the information, looked up the manual,

and here we go. Ink cartridge

recognition failure. One or more

cartridges may not be seated correctly.

Here, we continue to work back and forth

with AI. I reinserted the cartridges,

and now both lights are solid. Solid

power and ink lights on means it's stuck

on an ink related error. And so, we went

back and forth a number of times,

ultimately solving the problem. Here's

another example. My Apple TV keeps

saying no signal after 5 minutes of

watching. Common causes and fixes. HDMI

handshake issue. Try a different HDMI

port or cable. This is the first

suggestion it gave me. I tried a new

HDMI cord and it fixed it. So easy. All

right. Recipes is a very popular use

case for AI. And one thing that I use it

for is if I have a recipe and I don't

have one item, I simply tell AI which

items I'm missing and then ask what are

good substitutions for it. So let me

show you. Give me a recipe for salsa. So

fresh salsa pico deayo. Here's the

recipe. And let's say you don't have one

of these things. You can simply tell it

I don't have this ingredient. Give me a

replacement. Or you can even take a

picture of your fridge or your cabinet,

upload it, and say, "I don't have this

ingredient, but what else from what you

see can be substituted?" So, I said, "I

don't have white onions, only yellow.

Will that work?" Yes, yellow onions will

work fine. They're a bit sweeter, so

chop them finely and add a touch more

lime or salt to balance. So, you can

really use it as a chef partner while

you're cooking. All right. And next is

animal identification. So, this is

actually one that I just used the other

day. I just moved into my house and I

found these gross little bugs on the

floor in a few different places in my

house. So, I took a picture. Here's what

that looks like. And I said, "What bug

is this?" And that's a termite aotti.

These appear during swarming season,

usually after rain or in warm weather.

Now, as soon as I heard termite, I got

very worried. But it did say it occurs

after rain, and it did just rain, so

it's okay. And quickly, you can run most

of these use cases locally on your

computer. Let me tell you about it.

Thank you to Dell Technologies for

sponsoring this portion of the video.

Dell's ProMax family of PCs are

incredibly powerful for AI workloads.

using the new Grace Blackwell series of

Nvidia GPUs, including GB300 and GB10.

These are absolute monster GPUs in your

desktop. Learn more about DellPro Max

GB10 and GB300 and the Dell Pro Max

lineup of workstations with Nvidia RTX

Pro GPUs. Click the link in the

description below. Let them know I sent

you. Check it out. The next category is

productivity and organization. Let's get

into it. As many of you probably know, I

moved back to the Bay Area to be closer

to tech and the AI industry. And as part

of that, we want to build out a studio

in San Francisco. And I'm starting to do

some research on office leases and

pricing. And of course, what a great use

case for AI. So, I took a specific

building that I liked and I said, how

much is 86 Graham Street, sweet 120

leasing price, Prescidio, San Francisco?

Now, the pricing was not published

publicly. You actually have to call and

it knew that, but it asked me if I

wanted to pull comps, which are

comparable. So, what are the prices of

buildings that have been leased out in

the area over the last 6 months, let's

say? So, we pulled comps, and it gave me

a bunch of options showing how much it

is per square foot per year in different

areas. Here, I asked for another

specific address. Then I said, "Okay,

give me the average price per square

foot in different areas of San Francisco

for office leasing." So here's the

peninsula financial district, class B SF

average, class A SF average, and overall

asking price average. So this is a great

way to do deep research on real estate,

not only for leasing office space, but

also if you're renting your house, if

you're buying a house, this is a

fantastic way to get a sense of the

market. All right, next. Let's say you

do a lot of the same work in a document

each week, which we do at Forward

Future. We prepare a document for every

live show we do. By the way, live show

every Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Pacific. Definitely check it out. Now,

for that live show, we have this

document, and we've done it every single

week, and it's kind of repetitive and

kind of timeconuming to create this

document each time. So, watch what we

can do instead. So, in Gemini, we're

going to add from Google Drive. you find

the documents. We can select a few of

them. Then we're going to hit insert.

And now we're going to tell it to create

kind of a template for going forward. So

here are three similarly formatted

documents where I track work we do to

prepare for live shows. I want to create

a new version formatted around a new

approach. Please make the new version

only cover these sections as we prepare

for future shows. So in this example,

we're taking our previous work and we're

modifying the template for future

documents. And at the end, we get it. We

have it based on the previous documents

with those changes that we just

suggested. Another thing I've been doing

a ton of recently is using chatpt to

negotiate with my calendar. That

sometimes means adding things to my

calendar, other times it means asking

about my availability. Watch this use

case and then let me show you one more

right after that is incredible. So,

please add two 1-hour chunks, one in the

morning, one in the afternoon, that fit

my calendar availability for me to have

heads down work time. Add to Google Cal

or give me links to add events. Now, you

can set up a chatbt connector directly

to your Google calendar. But sometimes

it doesn't work. Sometimes, even though

you say, "Hey, add this to my calendar,"

it says, "Well, I don't have a

connection to it." Even though you do.

So, the workaround to that is to simply

have it create you a link with all the

relevant information about the event you

want to create and then it'll just tell

you to click on it, which is what we see

here. So, you're busy for the live show

walkthrough. Here are two times that

you're available. And then we can simply

click on these links which add the event

directly to my calendar. All right.

Next, in Claude, you can connect to

Airbnb and actually search for your next

trip with Airbnb through Claude. So,

find five options for Airbnbs in Hawaii

the first week of January starting

January 2nd. I would like options that

are modestly priced are super hosts,

have on-site parking, and it would be

great if they have views of the ocean,

and not be too far from the beach.

Please use the Airbnb connector. And it

does. So, here it found some options,

gave me the prices, gave me the stars,

and then it gave me its top

recommendation. Now I can continue going

back and forth refining my search with

Claude instead of having to go through

the very manual search process on

Airbnb. It's kind of like having a

little travel booking assistant. And

here's another incredible use case. I'm

sure most of you have used Google Maps

before and it's great. You can search

for restaurants. You can search for

other locations. You can get directions.

But what if you can go a little bit

further? So here, show me a route from

SF to Oakland. Totally normal stuff you

could do with regular Google Maps. But

now with Gemini plus Google Maps, look

what we can do. I need to find a good

Thai restaurant near my destination that

isn't too noisy. Can you do some

research, make some suggestions, and

plot the options on a map? So, it found

the restaurants, gave me an atmosphere,

rating, address, website, a bunch of

different pictures from each of them,

showed me where it is in an actual

interactive map, and then you could say,

"Okay, then put together the route or,

oh, I need to be at this other location.

Am I going to have enough time?" And

it's basically a really nice way to have

a natural language conversation with

your map. All right. Next, you can

connect Spotify to Claude. And you can

control Spotify with Claude. So whether

that means just in natural language

asking it to skip a song, which is

obviously very easy, but you can also

ask it to put together different

playlists for you depending on your

mood, depending on what kind of party

you're having. So next Spotify song,

please hit enter. It's thinking.

Obviously, it's much faster just to hit

next track in whatever Spotify app

you're using, but it's cool to know you

can do this. You can also give it kind

of rough suggestions of what kind of

music you want to hear. So maybe

something more lowfi, better for morning

work. So it's going to research what

type of music fit that filter. And so

here we go. We can actually see the

connector at work. It's saying, "Okay,

play this playlist." You can deny,

always allow, or allow once, and it just

starts playing what you want. All right,

next. Sora has been out for a couple

weeks now. Hopefully you've played

around with it, by the way. It is

awesome. And you can use my likeness in

Sora. So go ahead, have fun with it. But

if you want to know how to get the most

out of Sora, we actually asked ChatGpt,

"What are the best practices for getting

the most out of Sora?" It did deep

research. It put that all together for

me. Really cool. But that's not all.

What we actually were able to do with it

is create a GPT, a custom GPT, which is

essentially a reusable chat GPT that

always has context of what we gave it.

And in this example, it is a Sora

prompting GPT. So, all you have to do is

give this GPT a very rough description

of what you want to create in Sora and

it will draft the perfect prompt for

you. So, here's an example. I want to

make a prompt of Matthew Bur and Jonah

Lipit dancing in a field giggling with

balloons. And there we go. So, it

includes everything we need to create

the perfect prompt for Sora. And if you

want to know what that looks like,

here it is. Now, if you notice here, it

says www.forwardfuture.ai.

By the way, that's our newsletter. If

you haven't checked it out, please do.

It is amazing. Keep up to date with all

the latest news in the AI industry. But

there's a reason it says that there and

I'm going to show you that next. So,

what you can actually do in Sora is kind

of get free advertising. And the way to

do that is to control how your likeness

is used by others. Now, I simply said

promote forward future.ai

somewhere in the video, and that's what

you're seeing. And actually, Mark Cuban

was the first one to do this. Anytime

somebody uses likeness, it would say

something about cost plus drugs, his

company, somewhere on the screen. Kind

of a fun way to not only let people use

your likeness, but also get something

out of it. All right, this next example

is really cool. If you've ever wanted to

try to envision what your dream house

might look like, there are multiple

steps in creating really cool kind of

vision boards and videos of what that

would be. So, this is Gemini. We're

using Nano Banana Prompt, a breathtaking

modern dream home perched on a rugged

seaside cliff at golden hour, vast

panoramic ocean views, and so on. And

here is the first image. It created an

absolutely gorgeous house. Then I said,

"Show me the view directly out of the

window from the living room." So, same

house, just a different view. What about

the kitchen here? That is. Is there a

front yard? Sure. Main bedroom, main

bathroom, downstairs vault where I store

my Smurfs. Yes. And that's really cool.

But what if we wanted to turn it into a

real estate video showing off that

property? Well, of course, we can do

that. So, in Google's flow feature,

which basically takes VO videos and ties

them together, so it's kind of a longer

video with natural cuts, and it's really

neat if you haven't used it. So, I take

the original prompt, I say no voice over

at the end, I set the aspect ratio, the

outputs per prompt, and the model V3.1.

And finally, I upload all of those

images that I just created. And the

result, well, let me show you. There's

some music and some sound effects in the

background, but I'm not going to play

it. But we have this beautiful house and

we get to see it from different angles,

from different rooms. Obviously, there's

still a little bit of issues with

morphing and stuff like that. But I

think this looks great and it's a great

way to envision your dream house. All

right, next. Here's one that's kind of

just for fun. You can see what you would

look like at any age. So, here I

uploaded a headsh shot of myself. Make

me an image of this man as a young

child. And there I go. Although I had

straight blonde hair, believe it or not.

Then I said, "Make me an image of this

man as a 99year-old." And here we go.

That's what that looks like. So try to

imagine yourself at any age. Quick fun

one. Now, here's another fun one that

you can do with Google AI Studio. This

is called Gemini Co-drawing, and I'll

drop a link to it down below. So you

just start drawing like you would

Microsoft Paint, and you can actually

have it clean up your drawing, add

things to your drawing, all while you

are doing the drawing yourself. So here,

make the head more circular and add

ears. And there we go. Then I'm going to

continue drawing the stick figure, but I

want it to be a little bit nicer than a

stick figure. I simply tell it what I

want and it will do that. So make the

hands and feet look more like hands and

feet. Let's see what it does. And of

course, it is following the style that

it's starting with. And there we go. So

have fun with code drawing in Google AI

Studio. All right. And if you've not

used Grock, you should definitely use

it. is the only model that has direct

unfiltered access to the X feed and with

that you can do some incredible analysis

of different trending topics. So please

conduct some tweet trend analysis from

last six months compared to previous six

months regarding mentions of quantum

computing breakthroughs include a graph

and list of tweet examples. So, it did a

ton of research, included different

posts from different times on different

themes and how those themes trend over

time, and it pulled out example tweets,

and it did some sentiment analysis right

there. So, great way to do research on

whatever topic you want, whether for

work or personal. And Google Notebook LM

came out with a really cool feature that

lets you animate a picture book based on

any topic that you want. If you're not

already familiar with Notebook LM, it

allows you to upload any documents,

PDFs, books, articles, anything. And

Notebook LM will create an audio podcast

with two people discussing whatever

topic that you want to learn about. So

here I'm taking a very complicated

research paper about OCR. I uploaded it.

Then I'm going to go down and we can

actually create a video overview. So we

select our style. We also explicitly say

what we want the AI hosts to focus on.

And here's the output. Let me show you.

>> Have you ever felt like you're in a

fight with your computer just trying to

get it to understand a simple document?

I mean, we've all been there. Well, what

if I told you there's a new technology

that's teaching computers to read not

just the words, but the actual meaning

and structure behind them. Today, we're

going to dive into a genuinely smarter

way for

>> So, I'm going to pause it. This is a 6

and 1/2 minute video with different

visuals along the way, and you can

either listen to it as an audio only or

watch the images along the way. So, I

think this is really cool. If you want

to see this example, I'll also drop the

link to it down below. All right. Next,

you can get explanations of what a video

is about. And by the way, this is done

with chatbt atlas and agent mode. So,

you do need a paid account just for this

use case. But I'll show you another

option where you don't. But watch this.

We give it a video and we say, "Please

watch this movie and find moments in

which Sam Alman laughs or looks like he

is about to laugh. Give me a list." So

if I click into it, we can actually see

Chad GPT atlas working and watching

through the video. So this is what it

actually did. And they actually pulled

out the timestamps of when he laughed or

was about to laugh. Now, the other AI

that is free and can kind of do

something very similar is Gemini. Gemini

is really the only model that I've seen

where you can actually upload full

videos and it will watch the video. It's

not looking at the transcript. It's not

looking at frames kind of interspersed

throughout the video. It is actually

watching it frame by frame through the

whole video. So in Google AI Studio, you

come in, you make sure you have Gemini

2.5 Pro selected. You come down here,

you paste in the video, and as you can

see, it immediately loads it up, starts

extracting the videos, and since we have

such a large context window to work

with, I believe we can have up to a 30

minute or 40-minute video. This video of

mine was 347,000 tokens out of a million

context budget that we have. And we can

ask any questions to it. So I can say,

what color sweater is the host wearing?

And again, that's a very simple example,

but you can ask anything, even down to

tiny little details in just a few frames

of the video. You can ask anything. So

from the beginning of the video until

approximately 5:22, he's wearing a

tie-dye hoodie with a mix of light blue,

yellow, pink, and white. from that to

the end, he's wearing a dark gray polo

shirt. So there you go. Ask any question

to any video. All right. And last, if

you want to watch videos in any

language, but you don't want subtitles,

you just want instant translation, this

is for you. So we're using the Hey Jen

video translate feature in replicate. So

we have this original video, Leonardo

DiCaprio accepting his Oscar award. I

believe

>> uh The Revenant was a product of the

tireless efforts of an unbelievable cast

and crew.

>> Okay, that's cool. But what if you want

it in another language here? That is

actually translated to another language,

but the actual mouth movement is synced

with that new language. It is so

impressive. So, obviously for me, it

allows me to take my videos and

translate them into many languages with

very little additional work. But if you

want to take a movie or something else

and you want to translate it into a

different language just to enjoy and

watch in your native language or a new

language, you can do that as well. So,

those are all the use cases for today.
