Hey, well, hi. Yeah, hi, hi. My name is Mark. I work for, I work for HiRey and I'm talking with Carl today and we're talking about Carl's experience within the HiRey AI network and platform and also a little bit about himself and what he's using it for lately, what he's been using our network and using AI agents for in kind of his own yeah. So when we were talking about your recent projects and you said, shoot. I was saying that I've been building a lot on AI and I help founders and creators with business on there. I do a lot of integrations and, you know, that's all in addition to my coaching, I help people with building their business. So going on to HiRey, I would be looking for other people who had similar interests or might be interested in my services. So I think the webpage did a pretty good job of explaining at least the setup and I was able to set it up on Claude. I was a little bit unclear as to, you know, once I set it up, I was kind of thinking to myself, like, why am I? Why am I doing this? Why am I connecting Claude? What am I going to get out of doing this? And it was kind of hard to see other people's interests on there. And, you know, I think when you join a new social community, you wanna connect right away with other people who have the same interests and you wanna look at other people's profiles. And I think, you know, it helps if you can get your own profile set right away, maybe pulling from existing data that's already out there and other profiles that you might have is especially helpful. Mhm. Yeah. So wait, pulling, what do you mean by pulling data from other profiles? Well, you do have the uh the LinkedIn connector out there and I didn't get to set that up yet, but I think, you know, people have data out there on themselves about uh who they, you know, what their interests are and, and what they do on, on places like Instagram and Facebook. And I think maybe being able to connect those can save some trouble in, in setup, you know, you don't wanna fill out the same bio 15 times on 15 different platforms. And I think it's, it's nice to be able to, to make quick connections and have things like that filled out for you already so that way you can be finding the people who are relevant to you in the social network. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. That that LinkedIn profile uh kind of bio or pulling from your already existing um already existing profiles is interesting. Um What about, so when you're connecting with other people, uh like small business owners, people that work in in similar uh in similar a similar field to you, to kind of like do some knowledge sharing, um Yeah, like maybe, I mean, if you're, you're connecting through Claude, like I did, you know, maybe you'd wanna be able to. Um, share some, some things in in Claude, you know, some projects or something like that. Um, you know, I just, it made me wonder like, why, why am I setting this up and what, what's my benefit from, from sharing this stuff or, or, you know, what can I, what can I find from other people? Everybody has the what's in it for me mindset all the time. So I thought that was worth pointing out. Yeah. No, I think so. Yeah. Yeah, I think, um, yeah, it's an open-ended question, but I think like giving some clear like use cases of like what, what you could use it for, I think that'd be interesting. Yeah, yeah, agreed. Definitely. And then what, so you've been working on some integrations lately, you've been working on um helping small business owners with an AI. Um, what type, what type of new setups have you had? So new and like building like custom CRMs or? Yeah, yeah, a little bit. I mean, I'm, I'm still a little bit new to that one. I'm, I'm, so I'm getting used to it. I've done some stuff on, on make as well. Yeah. That's cool. And uh So like what, what type of uh any AI projects or I know noon has like probably like some AI AI functionality and stuff like that, but anything AI uh centered that you've worked on cool lately? Yeah, being able to connect existing tools like, um, you know, lots of people have Calendly and they'll, you know, people are very um siloed in the tools that they use. So having a way to connect all that through AI can be really beneficial. Yeah, and it can kind of speed up, speed up the way to like give you insights on like different data pulled across different platforms and everything like that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That's cool. That's kind of what I've been working on. Yeah, nice. And yeah, then for me, I've been working on um like marketing automations and using AI to build different tools for our, our platform, um like adding additional view. I don't know if you saw that heat map you of investors, um, but like adding a, a tool onto that where people could search for like startups that fit their, their tech stack for like engineering expertise, you know, so like if somebody is looking for a really skilled Java person um in a specific area, like helping match them with that. Um, and yeah, like scanning and kind of looking at different AI um trends, like on social media and everything like that, kind of as everything like changes so fast, especially this year with an agency and a lot of new tools and everything like that coming out. So seeing whatever what they're all specializing in and working on is is a good tool for that, giving daily briefs or something like that. Yeah, it seems like there's a new app almost every week these days. Yeah, really. Yeah. It's kind of fun, kind of overwhelming. Yeah, yeah. But what are some of the apps that you think uh that, that have been interesting that have come out recently for you? One, the one for me is like Hermes. Hermes has like been interesting. um Yeah, connecting in your AI agent to like run it, to run it locally instead of just running cloud code, running Hermes. Yeah, yeah. Um, Appify is kind of neat. Oh yeah. Being able to to find people. Use you get to find people. Okay, yeah, yeah, we, yeah, we, we did a little bit of uh work with Appify too on another. Another project. It's like the LinkedIn connector at Appify or, or which, yeah. Yeah, or uh. What's the one for, um, it does, does the uh messaging for um. You can connect it to Instagram or. I just signed up for it the other day. It's a chat, chat-based one. Or Chat-based on Instagram. Mini, MiniChat? MiniChat, I think. Oh yeah, I saw something about that. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah, I saw something a lot with that. I'll have to look them up. Yeah, I said I did see something about that. It's approved too. You know, some of the, some of the ones you get for like LinkedIn, for instance, they don't like any third-party message stuff, but this one is approved for by Meta, so you, they don't ban your account for using it. Oh, it's like if somebody comments on your post or whatever, you can, you can send them a message, right? Yeah, right. Yep. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I'll have to check that out. Cool. So when you were, so, uh, as we kind of wrap up here, is there, is there anything else um that you think uh would like, so when you got on there, like it seemed a little vague about like what, what type of people you'd like to connect with or like, like why you're doing this or something like that. So like for your use case, maybe uh a little bit more guidance um on like what you could use the, the platform for. Is there anything else that you think would make it easier um or did you, did you see like the iMessage feature um on the platform or anything like that? Yeah, I thought that was neat. I, I like being able to, to message tools. Yeah. You know, like um The, there's a note taker app. Which one? Notion? Uh Capacities, that's it. What do they do? Capacities, it's, it's um, it's also, it's, it's kind of like Notion, but it's more organized based on thoughts and, and chaining them together instead of uh having everything in folders and kind of makes a little more sense. It's another one that you can, you can message ideas into. I kind of like that, that concept to just be able to every time you get an idea, send the message to it and have it pop it into your notes there. Oh, that's cool. So like an easy entry into your uh into your notes page. Yeah, yeah. Huh. Yeah, I kind of wanted to be able to uh make more changes on my, my profile a little bit easier. I was Oh yeah, yeah. A little vague on how to, how to make those updates. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I think that is tricky. Yeah, it's pretty much just through the uh through your codex agent. You can ask it to do it. But yeah, I think like having like a web interface for that too would be cool. Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of why you, you mentioned OpenCLaw too in your documentation there. Yep. Yeah, you could use OpenCLaw for it. That's definitely a popular one with AI agent enthusiasts and then
