FULL TRANSCRIPT
Fable 5.2 is here and I wasn't going to
make this video, but it is so insane and

figure out ways to create hardware. And
today I'm going to go through a bunch of
the prompts that you just need to know
about because it's going to connect
things in your brain, it's going to give
you ideas. And I haven't seen anyone
talk about it. So
by the end of this episode, you are
going to learn how to make money, how to
be productive, how to think about
building things like hardware with Fable
5.2. I'm going to give away all the
prompts. [music] Um and if you stick to

>> The startup ideas podcast.
It's sipping time, baby.
>> [music]
>> When you're going to open up uh Claude,
you know, if you're on I think the max
plan, it's going to say like go and, you
know, bring complex ideas to life with
animations and 3D worlds and describe
the result you want. So you're going to
go ahead and click try Fable 5.2. Um
let's start with the first prompt. Um so
one really cool thing about Fable 5.2 is
you can have it uh just like literally
audit your entire business. So what's
really cool is it can work 10 to 12
hours on its own until the job is done.
So you can give it a job that would
take, you know, a high-end consultant a
week and just have it cook. So you can
say something like this. We're going to
go ahead and try it out here.
Audit my entire business, the website,
pricing, onboarding, emails and top five
competitors, work until it's actually
finished, keep a running log, give me a
ranked list of the 10 changes most
likely to make money with the evidence
for each. So we're going to go ahead and
do that. I'm going it my business
late checkout.agency
design agency.
Um so it's going to go ahead and do
that. Um and while we do that, let's go
uh let's go and and look at another
making money prompt. So you can actually
do a freelance job end-to-end with 5.2.
So if you look at the you know the blog
post from Anthropic, they say in their
in their official blog post
that you know the I think the yeah the
real freelance score went from 21% to
41%. So I think there's a huge
opportunity to actually sell uh results
as a productized service. What do I mean
by that? We can go ahead and give 5.2.
Let's go ahead and open a new
chat here.
Um we can go and find a job posting. We
can say do the whole job as if you were
a freelancer, then tell me which parts
you're confident in, which parts human
should check, and what you charge for it
as a fixed price service.
So I don't have a real job posting off
the top of my head. So I'm actually
going to go and have 5.2 find it.
Um actually you go find something you
think you can do that um can make me
money.
And you know we we can go ahead and do
that.
Um
uh what's really cool is there's so many
jobs that uh are freelance jobs that if
you use 5.2 for and you create a great
loop for it and you're you know you
could sell it and and not go hourly,
right? You can go and sell it as a job
to be done. I think there's going to be
thousands
uh of people who come and go and do
this. So I think this is a huge
opportunity. Number three, 100 niches at
once. So one of the cool things about
5.2 and I know a lot of you are going to
be happy about this is it's much better
at running a lot of sub agents. So you
can actually say something like this,
spin a spin up a sub agent for each one
of these 100 niches. Each one finds the
top five complaints people have, what
they pay for today, and how hard it is
to reach. Give me one rank table and the
five I should build build for. So I
don't know if this will be able to do
this
uh it'll finish but by the time this is
done but we're going to give it a try
that's for sure.
Um
underserved
and we're going to go check in uh later
about that
so you can see
um so you can go see it.
Number four, rebuild the ancient
software. So this is a huge opportunity
just in general. I've talked about it on
the podcast before but there's so much
uh tech debt, old software, and there's
opportunities to go and rebuild that for
people. So you can go basically say
something like this. Here's the
spreadsheet my client has run their
business on for 12 years. Figure out
what it actually does, rebuild it as a
simple web app, move the data over, and
write a one page guide for the staff. So
I I anticipate a lot people we talked
about you know pay per service. There's
going to uh instead of hourly. In the
past
uh people would just go and do this
hourly for people, right? $50 an hour,
$100 an hour, whatever it is. There's a
just a an opportunity now to use 5.2 and
go ahead and do that uh per per output.
Um and then the fifth one, you know deal
checker for buying a a boring business.
You know one of the big critiques of AI
in general is it'll go and hallucinate
basically.
And
when you speak to people in legal, when
you speak to people in finance, when you
speak to people in you know different
spaces where you can have like
hallucination, right? Um now it finally
says I don't know. So what's really cool
about that is it's it's it it's it's a a
human being, right? A human being would
say I don't know to a question but up
until this point AI hasn't said I don't
know. So this is like a full-on new
uh era in the AI world, right? The know
era. And this is really cool. I don't
know. I'm not going to say it's AGI, but
you know, uh it if if it was AGI, that
that does feel like kind of
human-like, right? So you can say
something like, here's the seller's P&L
on listing. Find everything that doesn't
add up. Mark each number as verified,
unverified, or suspicious, and write the
15 questions I said ask before making an
offer. So much opportunity to do stuff
like this. This has been out of reach.
Finance, legal, stuff like that has been
out of reach. Um but I I think you're
going to see a lot more professionals
actually going and using 5.2. So that's
exciting for them as well. Let's go
ahead and check uh our prompts and see
what we got so far. So um
when you actually go through this is for
yeah LCA, our our design agency and
design engineering uh agency.
Um it goes and does an incredible job at
ranking all the different calls to uh
all the different feedbacks.
And I'm not going to go through exactly
all of this. Um but it's just
every time I've been I've asked uh
this prompt on on a bunch of different
things that we've been incubating, it
has been just so uh to the point. Like
literally all this is to the point. So
whatever it is you're working on, this
is a no-brainer. Do an audit and then
you have this running log too. Um let's
go to the freelance job. Um
uh yeah, how do you automate a freelance
job? So it's gone. It's gone and picked
