🤖 My new favorite AI app - Opus Clip

I have always wanted to be great at shooting and editing video clips. I’m not even great at clipping, resizing, and adding text to videos. And then, I found an app that made it so simple.

I took a YouTube video that featured an interview with me, pasted it into the app, and a few minutes later, it spits out ten clips of me talking, perfectly centered, with the exact text of what I was saying. Typically there are errors with these types of apps. It was pretty damn clean!

So what is Opus Clip? Opus Clip is a generative AI video tool that repurposes long videos into shorts in one click. And yes, it's powered by OpenAI. It’s as easy as pasting a single YouTube link. You’ll get one long video and ten viral clips. Create 10x faster.

Here is a clip of me discussing leaving Las Vegas for Denver and changing my life forever.

🚀 ChatGPT + web browsing = your competitive advantage.

I am the CEO of a fantastic company focusing on local SEO, which has been extremely helpful to you. Any local business on Earth should use this, but it can also be used for any industry if you update the prompt.

First, you'll select GPT-4 and then “Browse with Bing.”

Once done, you’ll add this prompt:

Search for the highest-rated [type of business] in [city, state], and provide a curated list with their location and specialties.

You can also use a similar prompt for non-local businesses:

Search for the highest-rated [business type] in the [industry] in [country], and provide a curated list with their specialties and top reviews.

Here is a look at what happened when we searched for: “Search for the highest-rated veterinarians in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and provide a curated list with their location and specialties.” It also shows you the steps it took to get the results.

Some notes: First, you should know that it provided twenty total locations. I would recommend adding “top ten” to the prompt. You can also add things to the prompt like:

• Add a link to their website or social media pages

• Give me their top three reviews

This is another reminder that ChatGPT with Web Browsing is slick and helpful. I had this information 60 seconds after hitting “send” on the prompt.

Amazing.

⭐️ My big thought of the day: there is no time for bullshit.

Very few things bug me more than when you ask someone a question, and they say, “Ughhhh,” or pause, and you can see them crafting a response in their head. I also have people in my personal and professional lives that change their stories often.

That must be exhausting. Please stop it.

Be honest. Tell it like it is. Prepare the people around you for what they need to be prepared for. Honesty is the best policy.
