    169: Replace your SEO agency with AI (Full Guide)

Charged businesses a couple of thousand quid a month, locked them into six-month contracts, and handed over PDFs that looked impressive but were, honestly, a bit of a black box. That entire model is now dead, and I say that with zero nostalgia. Today I walked through a free Claude Code skill called Claude SEO that runs a full technical audit, content analysis, keyword gap strategy, and AI search optimisation on your entire website. The same work that would cost tens of thousands a year from an agency took about 50 minutes on my site and cost me nothing beyond a Claude Pro subscription. The real magic is what happens after the audit. You feed the findings back into Claude Code, have it build a prioritised implementation plan, and then schedule it to chip away at fixes overnight. Title tags, header hierarchy, schema markup, meta descriptions, the lot. It just quietly gets on with it while you sleep and presents a little report in the morning. I also covered why SEO still matters in the age of AI, how Google indexing directly affects whether you show up in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, and why blocking AI crawlers from your site is probably a mistake. The whole guide is linked below if you want to set this up yourself. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 What is SEO and Why It Matters 0:49 Why AI is Killing the SEO Agency Model 3:37 Is SEO Still Important in the Age of AI 6:12 Using AI Instead of an SEO Agency 8:20 Claude SEO Skill: $20 vs $10K Agency Costs 8:55 Free Claude SEO Skill Walkthrough 9:58 How to Install the Claude SEO Skill 10:57 Running Your First AI SEO Audit 12:29 Content Analysis, EEAT and AI Crawler Access 13:45 Feeding Your Audit Back Into Claude Code 15:43 Connecting MCP to Analytics Tools 17:11 Recommended AI SEO Workflow 19:53 Q&A: Syncing Claude with Claude Code 21:11 Community Showcase: WTF is this Tech 23:24 How to Build and Host a Website with Claude 26:32 Does Every Business Actually Need SEO 29:16 Using Multiple LLMs for Better Results 30:25 Community Showcase: Sequestered AI 32:02 Best AI Creators to Follow Right Now —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    168: AI Latest: OpenAI Shuts Down Sora, Disney Drops $1B Deal, Claude Does Your Job For You

Sora is officially dead, pulled before it even launched in most of the world, and that billion dollar Disney deal has collapsed with it. The internal message at OpenAI is clear: stop the side quests, start making money. They're pivoting hard toward API revenue and enterprise clients, essentially copying Anthropic's playbook after watching them generate comparable revenue with a fraction of the users. Shopping features are getting reworked, flashy consumer toys are being shelved, and researchers are being told to put down the fun projects and focus on profitability. It's a sensible business move, but it does make OpenAI a little less interesting. Meanwhile, Anthropic have been on an absolute tear. Since January alone they've shipped Cowork, Opus 4.6, Excel and PowerPoint integration, a million token context window, Claude Code channels, and just yesterday, full computer use. That last one is particularly spicy because it means Claude can now click around your screen, open programs, and do tasks as if it were sitting at your desk. Someone in my chat pointed out the obvious implication: if you work from home, you could technically outsource your own job to Claude before your employer does it for you. Cheeky, ethically questionable, and probably inevitable. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Welcome & Show Introduction 0:21 OpenAI Kills Sora: Video Generation App Shut Down 1:14 Why OpenAI Is Cutting Features Before Its IPO 2:01 ChatGPT vs Claude: Why I Switched to Claude 3:08 OpenAI vs Anthropic: Consumer vs API Revenue 5:23 OpenAI's Pivot to API and Enterprise Revenue 6:42 Disney's $1 Billion OpenAI Deal Collapses With Sora 10:49 Disney AI Strategy: IP Licensing and Legal Battles 18:02 Is the Claude Ambassador Program Worth It? 20:48 Why Sora Failed After Its Viral Launch 22:54 ChatGPT Shopping: Why Instant Checkout Flopped 30:51 OpenAI's Pre-IPO Slash and Burn Strategy 32:18 Every Anthropic Claude Launch in 2026 35:53 OpenClaw vs Claude Cowork: Which AI Agent to Use? 41:23 Why Anthropic's API Business Model Wins 43:50 Claude API Errors and Server Capacity Issues 44:46 How I Use Codex and Claude Code Together 46:10 Edge AI Explained: Running Models on Local Devices 49:13 China's Open Source AI Soft Power Strategy 51:11 Is Cursor Getting Crushed?

    167: Claude Can Now Control Your Entire Computer (FULL Explainer)

As of last night, Claude can now take full control of your Mac, not just Chrome, not just a sandboxed virtual machine, but your actual computer. It opens apps, navigates your file system, clicks around desktop software, the lot. If you've been following Open Claw, this is essentially that functionality baked directly into the Claude ecosystem, minus the terminal setup, minus the security headaches, minus the afternoon you'd lose tinkering instead of working. You toggle it on in the desktop app and you're away. I've been playing with it all morning and it's genuinely impressive how seamless it feels. What's really striking though is the pace Anthropic are shipping at right now. Two or three features a week since January. Cowork, Opus 4.6, dispatch, channels, remote control, scheduled tasks, computer use, it's relentless. Meanwhile Open Claw's creator has been hired by OpenAI and we've seen precisely nothing from that side. Perplexity Computer costs $200 a month and just got made redundant overnight. The big picture here is simple: we're moving from chatting with AI to AI actually doing things for us, and Anthropic are leading that charge by a comfortable margin. If you haven't explored what agents can do yet, now's probably the time. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Claude Computer Use Just Dropped — Here's What It Does 1:11 The Shift From Chatting to AI Doing Things For Us 3:18 How OpenClaw Proved the Demand for AI Assistants 6:26 Everything Anthropic Shipped in 3 Months 9:45 What Is Claude Computer Use and How to Turn It On 12:08 How Claude Decides: Connectors vs Browser vs Screen Control 16:03 Safety: Claude Computer Use vs OpenClaw Compared 20:27 How to Download and Set Up Claude Computer Use 22:41 Control Your Computer Remotely With Dispatch and Channels 25:04 Alternatives Compared: OpenClaw vs Perplexity vs Manus 27:36 The Big Takeaway: We Can Just Build Anything Now 30:41 Live Q&A —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    166: So you’ve Vibe Coded something brilliant — Now what?

    Get the free Vibe Coding guide here: https://aiwithkyle.com/mini/5-builds Get AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Kyle’s AI Canon — Curated list of AI learning essentials: https://aiwithkyle.com/ai-canon Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg Summary: So you've vibe coded something. Brilliant. Now what? That's the bit nobody talks about. Everyone's showing you how to build the thing, but the moment you want actual humans to use it, pay for it, and not have their passwords stored in a spreadsheet, you need a proper stack. Today I walked through every tool I use to go from a half-baked idea to a live, deployed, money-making web app. GitHub, Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, Resend, Beehive, PostHog. The full lot. I explained what each one does, why you need it, and crucially, the order you should set them up in. The best part is nearly all of it is free to start. You only begin paying once thousands of people are actually using what you've built, which is a very good problem to have. I'm running a six-figure business and my entire tech stack costs me about a hundred dollars a month. That's an absurd margin. Whether you're using Lovable, Google AI Studio Build Mode, or Claude Code, this is the roadmap for turning your proof of concept into something real. I also shared a prompt that will generate a full deployment plan for your specific project, so you're not fumbling through DNS records alone at midnight. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 The Vibe Coder's Toolkit Overview 1:44 Best Vibe Coding Tools to Build Your App 5:50 What Happens After You've Built Something 7:07 GitHub — Cloud Storage and Version Control 9:40 Supabase — Your Database and User Authentication 12:45 Deploying Your Web App With Vercel 15:37 Buying and Connecting a Custom Domain Name 18:10 Getting Paid — Stripe and ThriveCart Setup 21:03 Email Systems — Transactional vs Marketing Emails 25:00 PostHog — Analytics and A/B Testing for Your App 27:48 Full Vibe Coding Tech Stack Recap 30:58 The Master Prompt to Deploy Your App 33:08 Q&A — Lovable vs Claude Code and Getting Started 35:22 Building Free or Nonprofit Apps Without Going Bankrupt 37:50 Claude Code Remote Control — Channels, Dispatch and More 39:35 The Danger of Always-On Coding From Your Phone 40:40 Why AI Tool Costs Shouldn't Stop You From Building 42:23 Is AI Overhyped?

    165: Massive Global Study: 81,000 people CONFESSED what they really want from AI

Anthropic dropped a massive study where they interviewed 81,000 Claude users about how they actually feel about AI, and the results are fascinating. Nearly 19% said AI hasn't delivered what they expected, with my favourite quote being "AI should be cleaning windows and emptying the dishwasher so I can paint and write poetry." Instead, it's doing the painting and the poetry. The data also shows a clear global divide: developing nations are overwhelmingly optimistic about AI while the West is increasingly nervous, which makes perfect sense when you think about who has the most to lose. I also got hands on with Claude's new Dispatch feature, which lets you message your always-on computer from your phone and have Cowork handle tasks while you're out. It's basically Open Claw for grownups, doing 90% of what made that tool exciting but in a much more secure package. Anthropic have been shipping features at a ridiculous pace and they're clearly stitching Claude Chat, Cowork and Code into one coherent system. Plus, a reality check for anyone moving from ChatGPT to Claude and hitting usage limits: Anthropic's real business is the API, not the $20 consumer plan, and that's not changing anytime soon. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Intro: Claude and Anthropic Are Killing It 0:34 Anthropic's 81,000 Person AI Study Explained 5:00 What 81,000 People Actually Want From AI 8:08 Is AI Actually Delivering on Its Promises? 12:44 AI Accessibility: Changing Lives for Disabled Users 14:45 What People Worry About: AI Hallucinations and Reliability 16:25 AI Job Displacement: Why This Time Is Different 17:56 Existential Risk and the AI Optimist vs Pessimist Debate 20:03 Global AI Sentiment: Why Developing Nations Love AI 23:24 Claude Dispatch and Cowork: OpenClaw for Grownups 29:42 Dispatch vs Remote Control: What's the Difference? 30:15 Is Any Job Future Proof?

If you've been hearing the term thrown around and feeling like you need to be technical to get involved, you don't. I walked through exactly how to get started using Google AI Studio's hidden Build mode, which is completely free, requires zero setup, and lets you build working apps just by describing what you want in plain English. I built a social media growth projector live on stream, from nothing to a functioning tool with charts and milestone calculations, in about two minutes. The whole point was to remove every barrier I could think of. No paid tools, no terminal commands, no deployment headaches. Just open a browser, click Build, and start talking. I also put together a second tool, a task automation analyser, to show how quickly you can go from idea to something genuinely useful. If you've had projects sitting on a to-do list for months because you assumed you'd need to learn to code first, this is your way in. Start with a toy project, get the bug, and worry about the complicated stuff later. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Getting Started with Vibe Coding for Complete Beginners 2:41 Why Google AI Studio Build Mode is the Best Free Tool 3:38 How to Use the Chat Interface and Voice Input 4:15 Start with a Toy Project Not Your Dream App 5:40 Live Build: Social Media Growth Calculator with Gemini 10:00 Publishing and Deploying Your First App for Free 11:06 Why Learning to Code Still Matters with AI 11:44 Bugs vs Features: The Vibe Coding Feedback Loop 14:28 How to Fix Bugs Using Screenshots and Error Logs 15:28 From Toy Project to Real Business Tool Using Claude 16:36 Planning Your Project Before Building 19:53 Dropping a Project Plan into Google AI Studio Build 20:47 What Beginners Should Skip: Auth, Databases and Deployment 22:51 Vibe Five: 5 Mini Projects to Build Your Coding Portfolio 24:55 Live Demo: AI-Powered "What Should I Automate First" Tool 28:28 AI-Generated Automation Suggestions That Actually Work 29:10 Recap: How to Start Vibe Coding Today 31:28 Join the Community and Free Resources —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

Tens of thousands of people asked for a proper guide to levelling up with AI. So today I built it. Seven levels of AI mastery, from "I'm basically using ChatGPT as Google" all the way through to running your own local models. I've mapped out the full progression path, complete with an RPG-style skill tree because apparently that's the kind of person I am. The core idea is simple: there's a logical order to learning this stuff, and most people are skipping straight to the fancy bits without the foundations. I walked through each level on the stream, from thinking with AI instead of just asking it questions, to setting up projects, personalising your setup with skills and custom instructions, connecting AI to your existing tools via MCP, vibe coding your own apps, building automations that work while you sleep, and finally going full AI operator. I also showed off a mini "five builds in five days" vibe coding curriculum I've been putting together, and built a stamp duty calculator live on stream just to prove the point. The whole thing will be fleshed out properly over the coming weeks, but the skeleton is there and I think it fills a gap that nobody else is really addressing. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Introduction to the AI Native Skill Tree 2:10 The Problem: Where Do I Start with AI? 4:20 Level 1: Going Beyond Google 5:12 Why Context and Prompting Matter 7:48 Your AI Tech Stack in 2026 9:09 Level 2: Building Persistent AI Projects 10:50 Level 3: Personal AI, Custom Instructions & Skills 14:03 Level 4: Connected AI & MCP Explained 16:28 Level 5: The Vibe Coding Progression Path 19:42 Level 6: AI Automation & Autonomous Agents 22:25 Level 7: Becoming an AI Operator 23:35 Why Existing AI Training Courses Are Broken 25:56 All 7 Levels Recap & Mindset Shifts 29:01 Best Vibe Coding Tools for Beginners 31:17 Hosting Costs & Deploying AI Web Apps 32:36 How to Find Your First Vibe Coding Project 33:43 5 Builds in 5 Days: Vibe Coding Mini Course Preview 38:14 Outro & How to Stay Updated —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    162: 143M jobs scored by how at RISK they are from AI

The results went viral, then he deleted the whole thing. Thankfully someone cloned the repo before it vanished. The takeaway is blunt: if your job lives on a screen, you're looking at a 7, 8, or 9 out of 10 on the AI risk scale. Software developers, lawyers, customer support, travel agents, all deep in the red. Nurses, plumbers, electricians? Barely a scratch. We walked through the whole chart live and I'll be honest, it's equal parts fascinating and uncomfortable. Beyond the jobs data, we covered a genuinely brilliant story out of Australia where a bloke with zero medical training used ChatGPT and DeepMind's AlphaFold to design a personalised cancer vaccine for his dog. It worked. The tumour halved. The red tape took longer than the actual science, which tells you everything about where we are right now. We also talked about Meta quietly falling out of the AI race after their new model flopped internal benchmarks, and I walked through a bunch of Claude Code skill repositories so you can start plugging domain expertise straight into your AI workflow. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Intro 0:30 Karpathy's AI Job Exposure Chart: 143 Million US Jobs Scored 5:01 Which Jobs Are Most at Risk from AI? 8:37 Are Lawyers Really Safe from AI? 9:39 Safest Jobs in the AI Age: Trades and Healthcare 10:52 Live Q&A: Finding Your Job on the Chart 13:44 Will AI Replace Teachers? 15:29 The Trades Oversupply Trap 16:41 Why You Need Multiple Income Sources Now 19:50 Man Uses ChatGPT to Create a Cancer Vaccine for His Dog 29:33 Meta Falls Behind: The AI Race Is Down to Three 34:18 Best Free AI Documentaries on YouTube 36:52 Claude Skills Explained: Expert Knowledge for Your AI 39:13 Where to Find 88,000+ Claude Code Skills 43:51 Claude 2x Off-Peak Usage Promotion Explained 46:57 Wrap Up & Newsletter —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/
