The episode, in writing
by Richard Lovatt · from the episode above, checked against what was said
I wanted to do this because I didn't want to miss documenting this bit. So a few episodes ago I spoke about an idea I had which I think is a really forward facing idea. Everyone nowadays builds and deploys agents. Wouldn't it be cool to give the agent a name, a face, a voice, and have them document as well. I'm pretty sure in the next few years that's going to be a really legit thing where everyone's going to have all of these agents in their life and it's like let's hear from them.
I keep seeing things on Twitter X about Higgsfield, Veed and Haygen and all these videos that are AI but they're so realistic. I'm like the technology's there. The downside might be the price and just how much it costs to create these kind of things. So do you know what, let's just try it. I think it's a cool concept. I just made it on the website. It obviously remains to be seen if it's going to be a legit part of the business. It might still be a way away where that becomes a thing, but hey, it's built, it's there, it's ready. And when I get customers they can use it, I guess.
So let me share my screen and I'll just walk you through it and how I kind of built it. As you can see we have a new tab at the top called Agents. Your agents on camera, doing all this work for you. You can create a name, a face and a voice for them. For example you can have Head of Engineering, Head of Product, Head of Payments. Head of payments could be just connected to your Stripe and your Warp, and it sees the payments coming through and the different things and people dispute, and it can document episodes every day about the discrepancies and the highs and the lows. I think it's quite cool.
So I can finish setting this up. It's got the name and you've got the job title. Engineering works with me, Rich, the series name. The engineers log, how it talks. You've got all these different prompts: deadpan, warm, blonde, curious, Steve's own. It comes with a big prompt here. I generally recommend to go with a good succinct prompt. Then whether they're on camera or voice only. I think voice only is an option, but having them on camera is probably going to be a better way to do it. Who they look like. Woman, early thirties, warm, American. Let's just do American man, late thirties. Where they work, let's do a design series. Their face, you've got to draw their faces first so I can pick that.
Faces are coming. That's hilarious. That is actually hilarious. That's just a genuine balding man working in an office. Well, cool, like that works.
Then where the work comes from. This is where, like head of engineering, obviously they're coding every day, so what they get context from is probably best GitHub. But if you've got head of products, head of payments, they can be in payments, website, newsletter, all these different people working for you. I've done GitHub, let's just do GitHub for now, GitHub repositories. And then every day, weekdays, Monday Wednesday Friday, and then depending on which one you choose it'll be like a minute each. I'll do weekdays, 45 seconds each, I think is good. Every day at 9pm my time.
You can have the topic it decides, it's gonna kind of be automatic, or I can set it each time. I'll just have it as automatic. Sign off. That's kind of freakish isn't it, that it feels like there's actually a random guy just over there in an office and I'm choosing him to do this. Let's just use that guy shall we. Sign off, that's the log. Steve out. Paused, no episodes until this is off. I don't understand what that means. Okay, save Steve shall we. That's so funny guys. I mean that takes way too long, but let's click make today's episode and I'll come back to you and show you when it's done.
