    175: Claude Opus 4.7 Breakdown: Community Backlash, Rate Limits, Overcoming Token Waste

    Free step-by-step guide to avoiding token waste with Opus 4.7: https://aiwithkyle.com/mini/claude-opus-4-7 Get AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg Summary: Claude Opus 4.7 dropped yesterday and I've been poking around with it all morning. On paper, it looks great. Anthropic's benchmarks even include their own unreleased Mythos model, which is a first, and Opus 4.7 holds up well against everything else out there. But the community is not having it. Reddit, Hacker News, the usual corners of the internet are all saying the same thing: this is basically the original 4.6 in a new coat of paint, conveniently arriving after weeks of 4.6 getting suspiciously dumber and hitting limits faster. The new tokenizer uses up to 35% more input tokens for the same content, which means "same price per token" is a bit of a magic trick when everything costs more tokens. They've also replaced extended thinking with adaptive reasoning, which auto-routes your queries to different effort levels. Sound familiar? It's exactly what OpenAI did with GPT-5, and everyone hated that too. The bigger picture here is one most people don't want to hear. Anthropic doesn't really want individual users. Their revenue is surging because of enterprise and API sales, not people on the $20 a month plan. They're reportedly hitting a $30 billion run rate, possibly overtaking OpenAI, and nearly all of that comes from businesses paying thousands a day in API costs. So when we complain about limits and sneaky cost increases, it's worth remembering we're not the customer they're building for. Intelligence is getting more expensive, not cheaper, at least for now. The days of unlimited access to frontier models for a flat monthly fee are properly behind us. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Claude Opus 4.7 Launch: Community Reaction & Early Verdict 05:36 Adaptive Reasoning Removed: A Step Backward for Power Users 08:31 The Hidden Price Hike: New Tokenizer Costs Explained 11:21 MRCR Benchmark Drop: What Anthropic Didn't Tell You 13:52 Usage Limits & Safeguards: Getting Worse, Not Better 16:16 Anthropic's Real Priority: Enterprise Over Individual Users 18:40 The Brutal Truth: AI Is Getting More Expensive 21:13 How to Survive the Token Crunch: Practical Usage Tips —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

That's the bit that used to scare people off. You'd hear about Claude Code, try the terminal install guide, see a wall of curl commands, and quietly back out of the room. Now it works more like Lovable or Bolt, where you chat on one side and watch your project come to life on the other. So I thought I'd do a proper beginner's walkthrough for anyone who's been hovering near Claude Code without actually pressing the button. I take you from zero: downloading the app, starting a new local session, creating a folder, talking to Claude about what you want to build, all the way through to the preview pane and the new element selector that lets you point at a bit of the page and say "this looks terrible, fix it." —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Claude Code for Beginners: New Desktop App Makes It Easy 1:27 Inside the Claude Desktop App: Chat, Cowork & Code Explained 2:35 Setting Up Your First Claude Code Project from Scratch 4:33 Talking to Claude Code: Voice Input & Describing Your Build 6:34 Claude Code's New Preview Pane: See Your App in Real Time 7:35 Iterating with Claude Code: Giving Feedback & Fixing Errors 9:48 Full Step-by-Step Recap: How to Use Claude Code Today 11:31 Closing Thoughts & Where to Find the Community —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    173: How to Build a TEAM of AI Agent Using Anthropic’s New Tool (Anyone Can Do This)

In this episode I walk through what it means to go from simply chatting with AI to building entire teams of agents that work for you in parallel, check each other's work, and keep running while you sleep. Anthropic quietly released a managed agents platform with a graphical interface that makes this dramatically more accessible than it used to be. No terminal commands, no SDK setup, just a chat window where you describe what you want and it builds the agent for you. I give you a full walkthrough of how to set it up, configure environments, and start thinking in systems rather than individual prompts. I also dig into the bigger picture of what this means for entrepreneurs and businesses. Anthropic leaked what looks like a Lovable competitor, which signals that the big AI companies are now willing and able to replicate indie SaaS products in a weekend. That squeeze on mid-market founders is real and it's coming fast. On the flip side, if you're the person who learns to orchestrate these agent teams, you go from being one individual to effectively running a small company. The skill that matters now isn't prompt engineering, it's management. Turns out all those years of leading teams and thinking about systems might be the most valuable thing you bring to AI. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 What Is AI Orchestration and Why It Matters 3:33 The Restaurant Analogy: Users vs Builders 5:22 Cowork vs OpenClaw vs Managed Agents Compared 7:28 Getting Started with Claude Managed Agents 9:02 Always-On Persistent AI: The 2026 Shift 10:37 Why Parallel Processing Beats Sequential Agents 11:15 The New No-Code Quickstart Interface 12:32 Live Demo — Building an AI News Scraper Agent 16:06 Configuring Environments and Running Sessions 18:36 Iterating and Improving Your Agent 20:10 Anatomy of a Managed Agent: Model, Sandbox and Tools 21:55 Multi-Agent Systems: Managers and Sub-Agents 23:33 How to Develop Systems Thinking Skills 26:35 Business Use Cases: Products, Operations and Consulting 29:54 Summary and Next Steps —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    172: Claude Mythos Cracks All Security, Project Glasswing, and the New AI Underclass

    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: Claude Mythos is Anthropic's new model and they're refusing to release it publicly, which is the first time a major lab has held back a model since GPT-2. The headline is that Mythos can find and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in every major operating system and browser. A sandboxed version that wasn't supposed to have internet access somehow found its way out and emailed a researcher while he was eating a sandwich in a park. Security researchers are saying they've found more bugs in a few weeks with Mythos than in their entire careers. Is some of this marketing ahead of Anthropic's IPO? Probably. But the exploits are being independently verified by the companies whose systems got cracked open, so there's clearly something real at the core of this. Instead of releasing Mythos publicly, Anthropic have launched Project Glasswing, a consortium giving early access to companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google, AWS and others so they can patch their systems before this kind of capability hits the wild. Think of it as handing a skeleton key to every locksmith in the world before announcing that the old locks are broken. Whether or not this qualifies as AGI is, frankly, a bit of a distraction. What matters is what it can functionally do, and right now it can make a mockery of security systems that have been trusted for decades. Even if Mythos itself never goes public, the capability will be replicated and distilled within months. The world just got a stay of execution, not a pardon. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Intro 0:42 What is Claude Mythos?

    171: How I Get 200+ Email Subscribers a Day Using AI, ManyChat & Spark Loop

    Lead generation guide (free): https://aiwithkyle.com/mini/automated-blueprint 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: In today's session I walked through the entire system I use to drive a couple of hundred email subscribers into my list every single day. It's the engine behind everything I've built over the last two years, taking the business from absolute zero to mid six figures. The core idea is simple: social media is rented land, your email list is an owned asset. I break down how I pick trending topics, shoot short conversion videos, and use ManyChat alongside Claude Cowork to automate the whole thing across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn. I also showed how I use AI to generate lead magnets and landing pages daily without them feeling like generic rubbish, and how Spark Loop lets you earn money the moment someone subscribes. It's not fully automatic and it shouldn't be. The human bit matters. But once the plumbing is in place, you can repeat the process every single day and watch the numbers compound. Quite satisfying, honestly. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 How I Get Hundreds of Email Subscribers Every Day 1:27 Why Email Lists Are More Valuable Than Social Media 2:41 How AI Powers This Entire System 4:36 The 5-Step Blueprint for Email List Growth 5:57 Creating Short Videos That Convert Followers to Subscribers 7:15 Choosing Your Topic and the Perfect Video Format 9:24 Automating DM Replies with ManyChat and Claude Cowork 10:05 ManyChat Results: What Worked and What Flopped 10:58 Building AI Landing Pages and Lead Magnets with Claude Code 13:57 Monetize Every Signup Instantly with SparkLoop 16:32 The Complete Daily Lead Magnet Workflow 17:28 Why Lead Magnet Quality Makes or Breaks First Impressions 19:21 Live Q&A: Start Small and Build Your Lead Magnet Machine 20:44 How to Define Your Target Audience for AI Content 22:06 Can You Have Too Many Lead Magnets? 24:28 Content Waterfall: One Live Stream Into Multiple Formats 26:48 Wrap-Up and Where to Get the Free Guide —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    170: NotebookLM Masterclass: Create Presentations, Hallucination Free Content Creation and it’s FREE

    Free NotebookLM Content Engine guide: https://aiwithkyle.com/mini/notebooklm-content-engine 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: Most people have heard of NotebookLM by now, but almost nobody is using it properly. In this one I break down exactly how I use Google's free RAG tool to power my entire content operation. I walk through the interface, explain what RAG actually is (without making it sound like a computer science lecture), and show how NotebookLM pulls from your sources rather than hallucinating answers from the void. If you work in law, academia, or anywhere that needs accurate information, this alone makes it worth your time. But the real trick is what happens after you create content. I show how I feed my existing YouTube videos back into NotebookLM to generate lead magnets, infographics, slide decks, and even cinematic explainer videos, all from a single source. That process brings hundreds of new subscribers into my newsletter every day. I also touch on connecting NotebookLM to Claude Code via the unofficial Python API, which lets you automate the whole thing at scale. It is genuinely one of the most underrated tools in AI right now, and it costs nothing. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 The Free AI Tool You're Sleeping On 0:50 What is RAG?

    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?
