0:00 · Silk builds tonight’s slides, live
0:00 Hey, how's it going everyone? Ijlal here and we are going to get started here in just a minute. Drop me a one in the chat, please, if you can hear me and also two if you can see my screen right now. let me just set these things up quickly here we go 0:40 Okay now since you guys are here a bit earlier you know some of you have been here for a few seconds minutes hey hey don how's it going hey hey david nice to see you all here okay now I really wanted to do this beforehand but I did not because I also kind of wanted to um you know show you this in real time so I had to hold myself from doing it just now I have no clue if this will be a successful test but let's just start the session on a higher note so what 1:24 I'm going to do is I'm going to ask Silk to do something for me and basically that's to create a presentation for me here. Let's see how that goes. Hey Silk so I am on a webinar right now you can say hello to the audience as well but what I am doing on this session is I am giving them a rundown on the features that we have pushed out for Silk for version 1.1.82 and 1.1.83. So can you create a presentation showing that? 1:57 And also, you know, I want to tell them about the upcoming Skool community and everything included with that. So make sure you include that. I need you to create a presentation that I can easily run on my Mac and show them. So I'm gonna send this to Silk so that I can show you this happening. and Silk's already on it. Now I obviously wanted to do this beforehand, but I didn't because I kind of wanted to show you all the capabilities of Silk as well. 2:34 I'm gonna keep my chat pulled in as well. So I can see if you still have some people joining in. Hello, everyone that's joining. I hope you can see me, hear me and also see my screen. I have just launched a Silk agent that is right now creating a presentation for this webinar. And then I'm going to pull it up and we're going to get started. Just give me one second. I'm going to grab a bottle of water as well. I'll be right back. 3:16 All right more people coming in welcome welcome people that are just joining in uh just to give you a quick rundown in this in today's session I am going to be showing you the latest features that we have pushed out of Silk and I kid you not when I say that this is going to blow your mind I hope it does because I have been tirelessly working on it for the last 10 days more or less um but right now Silk is 4:03 Basically Silk is basically creating the slideshow for me that we're gonna use on this presentation and I wanted to start on that note. So let's give Silk a few seconds to get all of this sorted and then we'll get started right here. So on says, I appreciate that you have a MCP with Claude now as I really didn't want to use the OpenRouter solution. Yeah. if I'm being completely honest, it wasn't really something, 4:45 You know, the OpenRouter situation wasn't really something that I wanted to rely on myself as much because, you know, it gets expensive and most of us are already paying for a subscription. That's either on ChatGPT or on Claude. And personally, I use Claude a lot as well. Like I have two different accounts on Claude, right? So now that I have the Claude and ChatGPT integration in, I feel like we have more users using Silk a lot more. 5:25 And that includes me as well. So that's been a good decision so far. But anyway, our presentation is ready. Let me just pull this up. one second there we go okay so Silk has made us today's presentation and uh okay I will have to keep on clicking the admit button with interval so you know if I just 6:05 Get interrupted in between get me some slack but anyway um so yeah we have been working on some really really cool features and I wanted to show you like I just didn't want to do an announcement because I wanted to show you these features in action because I think it's going to blow your mind it definitely blew me away when I developed it so I think it's something that was worth working on so anyway here is everything that we have shipped in version 1.1.82 and 1.1.83 6:39 · Get on the latest version
6:39 Now to the first thing I want you to do is I want you to go in and ensure that you are on the latest version if you're not just click on the check for updates button it is going to install the update for you automatically in some cases when it does not what you want to do is you want to go to download.heysilkai.com and then you can manually download your setup from here and then you can install that over the existing installation it's just going to replace the 7:18 Old version with the new one while keeping your data safe so just do that first this will put you onto the latest version of Silk in which we have Silk. So, well, firstly, Silk says a quick hello. Thanks for being here. Ijlal asked me to put tonight's slides together while he was already on the call. So every slide you're about to see, I built for you in a few minutes. That's the whole idea behind Silk. You ask, I do the work. 7:50 Let's show you what I can do now. So, tonight what we will cover part 1 Silk 1.1.82 which includes resumable history, projects, GoHighLevel version 2 of the MCP which brings a lot more sophistication to the GoHighLevel integrations. And then we'll move on to part 2 which is the latest version of Silk that I I just pushed before jumping onto this session. And in that, you will see something that will 7:55 · What tonight covers
8:31 Blow your mind. I kid you not. And then we'll move on to part three, which is Smooth Operators, a new community that we're starting. And it comes with some really exclusive things that I cannot wait to show you. So with that being said, first let's talk about version 1.1.82 which was released on 26th of october and in this version Silk now remembers every conversation and you can organize your work into projects and I'll show you 8:47 · Every conversation, saved
9:06 That in just a second here as well but to give you a quick rundown first you can continue any conversation that you've had with Silk previously so whether it's in guide mode act mode or background mode it's saved in one place and you can browse through them you can you know see the entire history you can continue on any of them um even after you know you close Silk restarted or whatever because previously we used to retain a very limited amount of history and that was the primary reason 9:37 Behind that was because I personally didn't really needed history in Silk, especially when Silk itself was able to retain the memories. But a lot of users were asking about this, so we built it in. Then you have search filters and all in it as well. File Silk made get open and show in finder buttons right in the chat. I'll show you that as well. And let me just pull this out for you. So now when you have the latest version of Silk, 10:16 · Projects with their own folder
10:20 You'll see that you have a project selector here. Now, as you can already see, I have a gazillion projects already, and you can also do the same without having to create all of them yourself. And to do that, what you do is you go into settings tools and then in here you will see this conversation history you open that up it's gonna have pretty much everything inside of here so all of your conversations that you have had with 10:49 Silk will show up in here and then you can create new projects so as you can see on the left here I have a lot of projects going on in here and then you can create your own by just clicking the plus button and inside of this you can give it a name give it a description give it instructions and most importantly you can give it its own folder which is arguably the most you know important feature that comes with the projects because now you can keep everything 11:23 Separate typically Silk would only work in its own folder unless you explicitly mention in the message you're speaking or typing to you know save a particular file in a particular folder but now with projects you can easily organize your work into different folders and you can keep the project's memory separate as well if you want mostly I won't really recommend using this because I feel like majority of the projects are interlinked somehow so it's good to have a general memory store 11:55 So that's that and then besides that there's this very cool feature called suggest for from memory and based on the memory that you have in your Silk it's going to bring in all of your you know project groupings that you can select and have added into your account or into your uh Silk project in just a few clicks so I'll give this a few seconds uh jeffrey I don't really understand your question as far as the download link you can just go to 12:39 Download.heysilkai.com that's where you download it um is there a place where where discussion is held not yet uh so far there is no place but that changes today I'll tell you that a bit um later in the session um I have much much of my work on Claude is there a way that they can communicate so sir can produce based on some of the same research that was done yeah I'll show you that in just a moment sorry I get your question now yeah so based on my memory as you can see it 13:16 Has suggested like 25 different projects for me that I can select and have added into my Silk app. I already have the projects I need, so I'm not going to select these. But, you know, you get the idea. Now, in terms of bringing your memory in, so you open up your Silk, you go into settings and tools again, and in here you go into memory. And inside memory, there's this import button. and when you click on this import button it will give you a prompt which you can simply copy and 13:31 · Bring your memory from ChatGPT or Claude
13:51 You can open up your Claude or ChatGPT or really any any app that you use and just paste it in and when you send this it's gonna generate or you know give you a breakdown of everything it stores about you its entire memory and once you have that you come back to Silk in the memory and then you say I have the export and then you just paste it in here and it is going to bring in the entire memory so I'll just show you give this a few 14:22 Seconds to fetch the data I have by the way already imported my memory. If you take a look at this, you will find that, you know, I have a gazillion stores of memory inside Silk, which is why my output is really relevant and which is why I was able to just generate 15:02 My entire presentation for today in literally one prompt. but yeah once this is done you simply copy this and you bring this over into Silk inside of memory click on the import button I have the export paste it and it's going to review the entire thing for me and if there's something that Silk already knows about you it will tell you that it's already in the memory and if there is uh if there are new things it's going to automatically 15:38 Bring it in. So I'm just going to click on the import button and as you can see it has imported 40 new nodes about me. Now as you see my memory store has grown bigger right and I can tidy this up which basically means that I would organize these better and interlink the memory with each other where it is relevant like for example I write a newsletter to Silk customers and there's a specific format of the newsletter so if it has two different notes on that it's going to combine 16:14 And interlink them so every time it pulls up anything from your memory it knows that there's a specific formula or a specific format that you use for writing newsletter and it's going to implement it when it writes newsletter for you the next time around. So yeah. I'll show you what the tidy up feature does as well. I'll just let this work. And then. And then, what was I going to show you? 16:54 Yeah, I was in conversation history. Yeah, so in here, you know, you can see all of your previous conversation. This is the one that we just had, which basically created the presentation for me. I can ask it to open this file, show in finder from right here, If there's anything that has links and all, you can also click on that and do all of that kind of stuff. So now that is one thing. And that was the major update that came in version 1.82. 17:35 And this basically now helps you organize things a lot more, you know, a bit better. And also one of the major improvements that we did in here was after we integrated ChatGPT and Claude, we noticed that we were consuming the limits a bit too quickly. So we had to optimize our prompt to use or, you know, context usage and token usage. So we have done that quite a lot in this version as well. Again, this is all out now. 18:07 You can go ahead and start using this yourself. Okay, seems like this through an error. Let's try this again. I'll come to this later Yeah, I showed you all of this and oh yeah one more thing so We also pushed an update on the GoHighLevel MCP Which is also known as lead connector. Let me see How many of you here use a GHL? Can you give me a three in the chat if you use it? 18:30 · GoHighLevel MCP version 2
18:54 Okay, I see a lot of threes coming in. So I think you all will be able to appreciate this because now even though we had like 36 tools previously, there was a limited number of things that we could do with the previous version of this MCP and that's because you know GHL just created limited scopes for it but now they have released a new MCP which is the second version of it and with this you can now do a lot more stuff 19:26 So let me just quickly ask Silk. Hey Silk can you tell me what the version 2 of the GoHighLevel MCP can do give me a full list of stuff that it can do the version two you GoHighLevel MCP the lead connector one on your screen works differently from the old one it doesn't have a big list of separate tools it has four tools that acts as a to build a high level of this whole public API. The first one, at the top, is search operations. 20:02 You tell it what you want, like creating a content, or booking an appointment, and it finds the matching operation by name, email, phone, or other things. The second is describe operation. It looks up one operation and returns the fields it needs, the request form, example payload, the permissions it requires, and any safety checks, so the agent knows how to call and collect it. The third is execute operation, which actually does the work. It runs any active 20:35 Operation from GoHighLevel of public lists after checking. Permissions, safety, duplicate protection, and which account it's allowed to touch. It also adds your login and API version The fourth is list locations. It shows the subaccounts this connection work on. So you can pick one by name. It only returns names and E-mails. Remember your login details. That means the real list is everything about high levels public API notes. Contacts, tags, notes and tasks, 21:09 Opportunities and pipelines, calendars and appointments, conversations, SMS and email, workflows forms and surveys invoices and payments products custom deals the user extend the rest it can also look up managed agents and send you a link to them but it can't start them the screen doesn't show the exact operations your account allows so that's way to see them as a test for search operations that lists everything before your locations okay first tell me that you all were 21:43 Able to hear that because that's going to be important in the next demo that I'm going to show you. Somewhat. Okay, so it was not clear. And yeah, this is what used to be Odin. This is now Silk. We have rebranded a while ago. Okay, Shelly, I appreciate that. I'll see how I can make this louder. I'm not sure if Zoom allows me to share my system audio. I think if it did it, this would have been a bit louder. Let me just quickly check. 22:21 One second. Okay, I'm not sure honestly. I'll just try to point my mic to it for the next one. But okay, yeah, that's that. So essentially now you can do over 550 different kinds of operations with the new MCP, which means that, you know, things that you were not previously able to do, you will now be able to do using MCPs. 23:06 I see we have a lot of high level users in here, so this will do wonders for you. Just go in and pretty much try anything that you would typically do yourself using Silk and it should work. In case it doesn't, hit me up and I'll see what we can do about it. but it will mostly do a lot of stuff now. Yep, let's move on. Okay, what else? So yeah, we also have the ability to now drag the little orbits. Let me show you. Hey, Silk, how's it going? 23:32 · Drag and stack your orbits
23:43 Let me just try and bring up an orbit. I think a better approach would just be this. Thanks. Looks like you're live with the customer session right now on slide 8. 21 with the 1.1.82 updates and 53 people registered. One heads up. Surely in the chat said it was not very loud. So you might want to check the mic quickly. Okay. Yeah. So you can now drag and, you know, drop your orbits. Basically this thing. when I started using Silk a lot more I find that when once it has like more than five 24:22 Of these orbits you you know it becomes a bit of a pain in the ass to see things on your screen so now you can move it and if you have more than one you can also compress them so I'll just do one more just so I can show you the compress button as well so as you can see it's right there and it shrinks into one there's the button that allows you to see all of them and you can move them around place it wherever you'd like on your entire screen and even on the other monitors if 24:58 You want but yeah so that's that um then a few more bug fixes and all oh and we also or I also shot a new onboarding video which I hope you saw when you upgraded to 0.82 which basically walks you through a few new features yeah so that's a bit more helpful as well now um but the most more interesting one and I am super super excited about this one because why did I not wanted to do this for a long time and I just released it today before jumping onto the session and now Silk 25:27 · Silk draws and explains
25:40 Will be able to draw and show you things and like I really want you guys to drop everything you're doing and just look at my screen right now because I'm about to amaze you. uh hey Silk can you explain to me how a sales funnel works in online marketing draw it for me A sales funnel takes lots of strangers and narrows them down step-by-step into paying customers. 26:27 First, ads and emails send people to a sales page where the job is getting them interested enough to put it by. Then check out where they actually pay, often with a cheap order by that at all. After the sale come the upsells, like your OTO 1 and OTO 2, where most of the profit is made. People drop out at every step, so you fix the leakiest step first. And for you right now, that's checkout. Now, how cool was that? Give me a one if you found that cool at all. 27:00 Because now, essentially, Silk can teach you really anything that you want to learn right on your screen. You don't even have to pull up Google or ask Claude or ChatGPT, whatever, right? So you can really ask it to teach you whatever it is that you want to learn. And this is cool, but there's something even cooler. Let me show you. And this, of course, doesn't work rather well with everything, but this will really give you a good idea. 27:25 · Now in 3D
27:34 Hey Silk, can you do a 3D diagram and show me how an engine of a jet works? Your razor blades squeeze it really tight. Fuel gets sprayed in and burned, so the gas gets super hot and expands. That hot blast spins the turbine, which turns the same shaft that drives the fan, then shoots out the back and pushes the plane forward. 28:23 So not just 2D drawings, Silk can also do 3D drawings as well and teach you things that you want to learn. Give me a 3 if you think this is really amazing. Jeffrey asks, can it do medical type videos? Well, let's try it Jeffrey. Hey Silk, can you do a 3D drawing and explain to me how cholesterol could block heart valves? Quick fix first. 29:03 Cholesterol mostly clogs the heart's arteries, not its valves. So here's an artery code. Extra bad cholesterol slips into the wall and piles up into a fatty lump called plaque. As the plaque grows, the tube gets narrower, so less blood gets through to the heart. If that calf cracks, a clock goes right up and will block the artery completely, which is a heart attack. Okay, let's do one more. Hey Silk, can you show me how muscle growth works when we, you know, hit the gym and workout? 29:46 Can you draw it in 3D please? A muscle is a bundle of long fibers wrapped in a tough sheet. And that's what grows. When you lift something heavy, the fibers strain. Take that tiny tear. Afterwards, prepare some, rush in and add new protein to patch them. Each fiber comes back a little thicker. So the whole muscle gets bigger and stronger. That only happens if you need enough protein to sleep. Just the growing happens while you rest. 30:28 Sweet. So, yeah, this is now the 3D drawing. And I think, Jeffrey, that answers your question as well. James says, ask, how does a transformer work in AI? Okay, well, I'm not sure. Hey Silk, can you draw in 3D and tell me how does a transformer work in AI? I'm not sure if that question makes sense but you know let's give it a shot. A transformer reads a sentence by first chopping it into tokens and turning each one into a list of 31:03 Numbers. In every layer, attention lets each word look at all the other words to work out the layers. Then a small network refines each word's meaning and dozens of these layers stack on top of each other. At the top it scores every possible next word, picks the likelies, and repeats one word at a time. Okay I hope that answers your question James. So yeah now Silk can draw in 2D and 3D. Oh and there's still something I would like to show you. Not just that, it can not only draw on 31:33 · Silk draws on your screen
31:40 Your on a canvas, but it can also draw on something else. So it can draw on your screen as well. Let's see. Hey, so can you analyze this sales funnel and tell me what's wrong? Can you draw on it? The front half is okay. About a quarter of a 62 sales page visitors click through the check. The bid will be at checkout. 16 people got there and only 4 were bought, which is costing you about $92 per Facebook buyer. 32:24 The bump is great then. Three of the four buyers have added the sales payment. Upsells fade back Saturday. with one taker on 001 and nobody on 002. And thank you shows five visits for four volumes. So check that track. Then fix checkout before you spend more on ads. Yep, so it can also draw on your screen and show you things in real time. But yeah, that's the coolest part of this entire update. And I hope it looks as cool to you as it did to me. 32:57 Sunny is asking, can the drawings be downloaded or saved? Not yet, but I assume that's not really hard. We could easily save it as a PDF or a PNG image. So, you know, that can come later, really so, with the next update, hopefully. But yeah, let's come back to our presentation. I think I showed all of this. I did. And then, yeah, one more thing. So we built suggestions into Silk as well, which now means that if you're using something that Silk can help you automate, it's going to suggest that you, you know, use Silk for that particular task. 33:25 · Smart suggestions
33:48 Now I'm not sure if it will show up right now because you know I have been using so quite aggressively and it keeps on suggesting to me so I found that it may turn out to be a bit annoying I added a bit of an interval so that it only asks you once a day so it asks you if you spend about 20 seconds on a particular app and you know so it can automate it so it will offer that if it can't that won't show up um but it shows up like a cool notification on the right side I wish 34:18 I could show you that right now but you know yeah that's that basically my goal is to get you to use Silk more so that you can create incredible stuff with it and by the way when it comes to creating not just like it just doesn't help you automate things it can it can help you um create completely new things like for example um I built this entire extension using Silk and what this extension does is it works on Skool um so you know I'm sure a lot of you have heard about Skool 34:39 · Built with Silk: a Skool toolkit
34:55 It's a community platform and this like Skool doesn't really have much automation that it offers so I built this um chrome extension that allows me to automate a whole lot of more stuff inside of Skool and I'll show you that in a moment as well but yeah so you know you can create things with you can automate stuff with so if you showed up earlier during this session I started this without a presentation even though I am the kind of person that likes to be prepared but I really wanted to 35:28 Show you that so is automating my everyday work and I literally had to generate this entire presentation that you're seeing right now and it took like two minutes so yeah let me see what else oh and it also by the way it also tracks your habits and it also remembers stuff that you have done so you know if you do a particular thing a few times in a row it can suggest to you that you can create a schedule task for it, or it can remember things you had Silk do 36:13 Once you were on a particular app or a page, and it can suggest that it can do that again for you. So these are things that you will see when you start using this new version. Then you have the optimizations that we did in terms of the context saving, which basically helps you avoid hitting your usage limits if you're using ChatGPT or Claude and save more money if you're using OpenRouter with Silk. So each step went from about 207,000 tokens to almost 40,000 tokens now. It also gives you faster 36:24 · Leaner, faster, cheaper
36:56 Replies and like I said that means your plan limits last longer 60 leaner voice replies and then we have also implemented a system that picks the skills more efficiently which again means saving context oh and yeah you also now have a effort picker in Silk so if you go and see your integration now you know Claude and ChatGPT both basically allow you to select the level of effort that you want the ai engine to put in while performing a particular task so you can customize that as well 37:42 Depending on what you select it may consume a bit more usage because then it takes longer to think about the outcome and you know the goal that you're trying to achieve so yeah that's start then besides start um yeah we had some issues where if Silk crashed during a particular run or if it wasn't quit properly it would go and basically um you know the history of the recent task that you were running might get corrupted and you won't really see it again we fixed that 38:12 As well and now you can um so I think I'm not sure if pamela is on here today but pamela suggested that or you know she basically found this issue where um the agent was not able to spawn more than one browser window which was limiting if you were running multiple tasks so we have fixed that as well now uh each agent can spawn its own browser so if you're running 10 tasks and 10 of them need their own browser they can go and spawn that up. Now if you all like that 38:50 Can you please do me a favor and give me two in the chat and I'll see the questions so that I do not stay a bit too far behind. Okay what do we have here I'm curious if Silk can use WebMCP I'm not sure what that is but let me see. Webmcp is an experimental browser native standard developed by Google and Microsoft that lets website expose structured JavaScript tools and schemas directly to AI agents. Yeah I think this basically allows you to read web pages more efficiently right. 39:04 · Q&A: WebMCP, skills, models
39:33 I mean I don't think uh it's needed yet but uh like if it comes with some sort of a download or something then it might be able to do that or if it's a MCP installation then you can already do it inside of Silk can I save skills per tasks or per project like in ChatGPT as of now you cannot it's like account specific um but that's a good point I might see what we can do there um or maybe what I can do is like I can give you the ability to you know group 40:14 Particular skills that would make more sense I think because like we already do some form of grouping here based on where the skills came from so if you can see we have like a your skills column in here then we have like a your custom skills column and then bonus workflows and all of that so maybe we could just give you the ability to you know create a different or separated storage for it because again with skills you don't have the ability to enable or disable 40:48 So even if they stick in your entire account it doesn't make a difference until and unless uh Silk calls for them when it's asked to run a particular task which country is Silk based in ah that's a good question I mean I guess I well I am working with Neil and Neil's company is registered in hong kong and my company is registered in pakistan so I guess it's 50 pakistani and 50 hong kong based you could say does Silk still track your screen even 41:24 When the overlay arrow is off. I'm not sure what you mean by that. If you mean that if Silk can perform all the actions that I have showed you today while the overlay is off then yes that is true. You can just turn this off and it's not even turning off. Okay maybe I introduced a new bug. yep I think I did okay I'll see into that but yeah it should work even with the overlay overlay off can I use it to download products once I'm logged into my purchase platform yeah you can do 42:03 That um just you know ask Silk to log into the website that you're going for and then it's gonna bring up the browser that it uses and you can log in and just tell it that you log in and can go and download things. What LLMs apart from Claude or OpenAI do you recommend? Well, natively we recommend DeepSeek. When you're using Open Router, we recommend that you use DeepSeek because this, like we ran a whole bookmarking, 42:38 Sorry benchmarking on multiple different models and if you go through this DeepSeek basically won the entire test and it was the cheapest and the fastest as well so yeah just use DeepSeek if you're using OpenRouter I am just going to switch back to Claude if I have my ChatGPT as default on Silk I have gpt plus yeah you can have that default as well yeah anyway uh let's come back to the next thing so okay now we are introducing something new which which is what we're calling 43:15 · Introducing Smooth Operators
43:30 Smooth Operators and I think it complements Silk really well because you know Silk smooth silky smooth Smooth Operators so I just kind of wanted to go with that sort of a vibe you could say the community for people who run their business with Silk essentially and in here we're only going to have the people who own Silk so that not only we could share what we're doing but also I can share what we are doing in Silk. So inside of this, 44:04 It's basically a room full of operators, just like all of us on this call who share with each other what works and what doesn't. Then, of course, if you become a part of this community, you get a say in what we build, which is kind of obvious. Then you have the ability to see the features that we're building and working on first so that you can not only suggest new developments into them but also be one of the first to use them 44:40 Essentially like a beta user as well then we will also be sharing ready to use workflows in this community and then of course I will be available personally as well so if you get stuck anywhere I can help you out and like I said a good circle a good bunch of people but the part that excites me the most is that everyone that becomes a part of this community number one gets premium voices for Silk in 20 languages now if you if you have been using Silk for a while 45:02 · Premium voices in 20 languages
45:17 You would have been able to tell that the voice that you just heard that I that was talking out of my Silk was different from what you probably have and that's because we just introduced something completely new and I was if I scroll in here you can see that we now have like 20 different languages and with each language we have quite a few voices of course we have like the most voices in english about 160 so you can go in and choose any voice that you like 45:55 Um and this comes exclusively with the community this is not available anywhere else and the primary reason behind that is because um well let's be real this is a bit expensive right so we have sold Silk only at a one-time price which is enough to cover what we built for you like I mean don't get me wrong we still have quite a bit of monthly bills coming in because we have to every time we ship a new release out we have to sign those releases with a lot of different 46:31 Certificates especially for windows and then for apple you know I have a developer account that I pay an yearly fee on as well which gives you the freedom and availability to easily install and run Silk on your computer so that's that and then besides that even the current voice model that we're using the default one is costing us money so we are paying that out of pocket but I had a lot of people requesting premium or you know higher quality voices because the default model is not 47:05 Super impressive and especially with the new features where it draws and explain things to you I think it just makes sense to have this feature so this will come included with those that join the community and then besides that another really cool thing that I think is as close to blowing your mind away as the drawings is that the community owners will also get the ability to integrate Silk with over 1500 apps in just one click and that includes all the google 47:17 · 1,500+ apps in one click
47:45 Apps as well like google sheets gmail calendar all of that kind of stuff as well so 1500 integrations in one click so no technical setup I mean of course you already have the mcps there um if you are not a community user so you can always go in and add that but I feel like it's a bit more technical for some people and in that case this this can be really helpful um because this basically is just as simple as one click and I'll show you so for example I want to connect to 48:20 My google docs I click on the connect button and it just opens a page now this is the service that we're using uh the third party service that we're using to achieve this which once again comes with a monthly cost to us which is why this is only part of the community I just want to be completely transparent and it's not like we're really making any money out of the community when you see the price of the community as well. 48:55 Is there a list of the connectors and specifics of the new upgrades? Not yet, Jeffrey, since this is the first look at the upgrades. I will publish that once we're off this session and then I'll send out an email with the details written down and a replay of this session as well. So, yeah, coming back to the integrations. you get, yeah, you get 1500 integrations. And as you can see, you can connect as many as you like. 49:26 There's no limit to the number of connections. There is a limit to the number of times you can use it in a month, which is 1500 app actions. I think that is really a lot for most of the users and you will probably never hit this. But yeah, this is also included with the Silk Smooth Operators. Then, yeah, so you get 160 plus studio quality English voices plus 14 extra languages and 3.5 average of premium speech a month, which is tracked right in front of you in your account 50:11 For full transparency. If you scroll down here, you'll be able to see how much usage you've already done. And again, I'll show you the voice quality once more so that you, you know, you... Hey, so can you explain what you're seeing on my screen? You're on slide 17 or 21 in your webinar day. It's the premium voices upgrade. Okay, I think this one has a bit of an accent. But yeah, I think I really should add the ability 50:50 To play a sample of it first. But yeah, it's more of a guessing game right now. So I'll work on that in the later updates. Hey Silk, Okay, something happened. Hey Silk, can you explain what you see on my screen? You're still on slide 17 of 21. The premium voices upgrade. 160 plus studio voices, 14 extra languages, 51:30 And three and a half hours of premium speech a month. All under settings, then audio on your second screen. Yep. So, you know, you get all of these voices. You can go and play with them and see which one you like. I think I'm just going to switch back to the guy I was using. He sounded a bit better to me, at least. Yeah. And so, yeah, like I said, 1500 apps as well. Gmail, Google Sheets, Drive, Docs, Calendar and a thousand more connect in one click. 52:11 And you know, the whole shebang. And this is just some graphics that's created for me and incorporated my good looking face in it as well. and then yeah this is um exclusive to Silk users so it's on Skool and you can join it as well I would appreciate if you do because we are just starting this off I will drop you the link in the chart uh what was the link I think it was Skool yep that should be it yep so I am now dropping oh wow shirley is already in how are you so fast shirley 52:24 · How to join, and your questions
53:03 Oh yeah the link is in the chat everyone come in and join this and you know I think it's going to be incredible and now if anyone has any question you can either choose to unmute your mic and speak it out or you can just type it in and I will come over and answer it. So I'll just scroll through the chat to make sure I haven't missed a lot. If I have my, okay, I answered that. Silk is completely working. Yeah, yeah, geof-Silk will work exactly as I showed you. 53:42 Even when the overlay is turned off. If we join the Smooth Operators, do our subaccounts or seats also have access to our account? So David, all of your personal seats, so if you're on the unlimited version, that should be three seats, will get access to these features. But if you, your sub accounts will not get access to these features because, you know, I can't really give these features to 100 or 250 sub users. 54:23 And, you know, yeah, it would just be a nice idea. It's going to be too expensive for me to be able to afford the usage. How do you decide the level of effort for an LLM? Well, that's a good question. Honestly, mostly I would keep it at low effort, low effort. And if it's failing to achieve or complete the task successfully, that's when I will amp up the, you know, effort levels to whatever else it is that I want to amp it up to. 55:00 Yeah um but definitely guys do hit me up with your questions in the meanwhile I think um I think what I want to do is I want to show you some cool stuff that you can do with Silk so that I can give you some ideas on you know things we can do carlos is asking can subaccounts subscribe to community and also get access to connectors yeah if they purchase their own uh some community subscription you know it will get added into their account and by the way guys you will need to give me um a few 55:41 Moments because I will have to go in and manually enable your um what do you call it enable your community access which basically means the features that you just saw me show you um which is the 1500 integrations and the premium voices. I'll enable all of that for all of you once I'm off the session, right? So if you're on the fence, just jump on in the community. It's pretty cheap. It's only $9 a month. And honestly, I'm only charging $9 for two reasons. 56:17 Number one is so I can, you know, cover the costs of having a premium voice model and the cost of the app connections that we're running through Composio. Like you can literally go on to their site and see the pricing they charge. This is literally the cheapest that we can offer it to you. The second reason why I have it at $9 and not for completely free is because I do not want people that are not using Silk inside of this community. 56:47 So there's a small fee for joining. and that only brings people that are serious just like you because you know I appreciate I appreciate you all showing up here spending your time with me learning things and looking at what we're doing for Silk and by the way I literally had Silk um do the entire thing for me in terms of setting up Skool so that was pretty cool as well um yeah but anyway um and also for those of you that are joining once we are off the session 57:24 Please go and interact with the first post as well I think I should pin this somehow let me see pin to feed okay yeah so just introduce yourself and you know we'll get along with it but yeah so you know one thing I wanted to show you guys is that Silk can do quite a quite a lot of things um let me just answer these questions duncan is asking what can I expect my monthly cost to be so it's just nine dollar a month for this community uh and there is no other monthly 58:07 Costs if you're using the OpenRouter key it depends on your users honestly like we have some people that are spending upwards of two hundred dollars and then we have some people that are um running on ten dollars a month as well so again it depends on your usage and how you're using so ray says you offer only the nine dollar per month yeah there are no upsells in Skool so you know it's just this nine dollar per month but yeah so what I wanted to show you 58:36 · Live build: an animated video from one post
58:36 On this session was the capability of Silk because I feel like a lot of you are not using it because you're not aware of things that Silk can do so I kind of want to show you something that I also have been wanting to try and haven't been able to so let's uh give Silk a task I just need to figure out where my bookmarks are. Okay, I think I sent the link of this to Neil. Yep, I did. Okay, so there are people that are creating 59:10 These kind of videos, if I can show you this. So, you know, these are sort of animated videos, and I personally really like them. I have been seeing them all over YouTube and Instagram as well. So I think what I want to do is I want to create something like this using Silk and that's exactly what we're going to do. Hey Silk, so if you look at my screen, I have a x.com post that I've opened up and in it, it's basically showing you how to create an animated video 59:51 And I want to achieve this myself. Can you please set this up for me? I think we already have remotion so we might not need hyperframes but just look into it and set it all up and then give me a 15, 30 second demo so that I can see how good you can create it. Start in the background. All right. uh where agent is live and as you can see it's opening up the 1:00:31 It's opening up the post and just taking a look at that and now it's uh already starting to work and creating the um creating the video for us so we'll pull this up in just a moment in here once it's done but I want to uh hear from you guys like I mean I know a lot of you have work that you want to automate but only a very few of you are actually automating it and I want to know the reason um why that is like is it simply because 1:00:55 · Why the community, and more tutorials
1:01:09 You just don't know how to get the most out of Silk if that's the case the community is definitely the best place for you to be in because going forward I am planning to do a whole lot of content just like this and you know if we have interest I'm happy to do like a weekly or a monthly live call as well just having all of us on here so that we can go through things and um you know just create a lot of cool stuff having a central point of communication will make this whole process much more useful 1:01:48 Yeah that's why the community is there um don't know how to get the most of it out of it for sure yep definitely join the community more and deeper tutorials for beginners yep I hear you and I think that's one part where I have been lacking a bit to be very honest because honestly I think the one thing that I wanted to achieve with Silk was that I wanted to make sure that I personally replaced how I was using Claude code myself fully and I think I am at that point 1:02:28 Now where I am very satisfied with what Silk can do and the output it can offer. Which now means that I can focus more so on creating more content and showing cool stuff of Silk. Donna says, I am interested in any info you can give as I'm expanding Silk's use in my business. I will tune in anytime you share. Okay, that's awesome to hear. Frank says periodic Zooms would be fantastic. Absolutely, I completely agree. I will be doing more of these more often. 1:03:08 James says, please help all beginners, not just those in the new community with better tutorials. Well, yeah, of course, that's the idea. But when you're in the community, it's just a bit more intimate, you could say. right? Like you could ask questions in real time and get answers and all of that and also see how others are doing because sure I can put it on a web page but there's not going to be that community factor where people come in and tell you and give you feedback on things and you can ask your own 1:03:40 Questions as well, right? So I just feel like that's the next step. I cannot get access to the link can you send me a copy to my email address um sure I can do that again I will send you let me just find your email I'll send it right now because I think otherwise I might forget okay I can't see your email in here Okay, David says he seems to be getting an error when he opens the link. If that is the 1:04:24 Case, let me just drop the raw link itself as well so that you guys can go in. I'm not sure if anyone else is seeing this as well. But here you go. Okay, let's also see how far Silk has gotten. Oh, wow. It recorded the voice as well. Not sure how it did that, but somehow it did. And it's matching the words to the animation right now. 1:05:04 Okay, so a couple more minutes and we should be done here. Okay, Ken, I have your email. Let me just drop you this email right now. I do not want to forget this. Download Silk and here's your download link. And I'll also share the support portal link in case you get stuck again. Yep. Okay. 1:05:44 I sent you the email, Ken. Sweet. Please give us the prompt again for creating the video. I mean, that's the cool part about Silk. You don't have to prompt anything to it. I will share this X.com link. but really I just tell it to see what I have on my screen and it reads that and it just does the work that's I mean that's the coolest part about Silk right you don't have to be specific about prompting it and you know doing things uh doing a whole lot of gymnastics with your vocabulary 1:06:27 You can just talk to it in plain words and it will give you exactly what you want and if it doesn't you can you know communicate with it and it will go in and make the fixes as well can I name my agent not right now not yet um carlos but so so give me some feedback on this as well uh Neil has been you know sharing about this and I'm not sure if you guys have seen stuff like Grok or ChatGPT dots and all of that kind of stuff but they have been rather 1:06:42 · Where Silk goes next: teams of agents
1:07:07 Aggressively pushing out agents um which is what they're calling it um and what what they're pitching it as is um well it's kind of like Silk their pitch is kind of like Silk wherein they just say you know it's an asian that's a that's an expert on one particular thing and then it goes and does that thing right um and I think what so okay I'm just a bit jumbled up in my thoughts here but essentially the next direction or the next update that I want to do for Silk 1:07:51 Is wherein you could address to Silk one particular goal and it can go and spawn its own agents and each of those agents report back to the primary agent so there's a hierarchy of agents so you know say at the highest level you have like a ceo and then you have a cto and then cro and you know other ceo and then you have under that different sorts of workers and so what I'm planning to do is I am going like you could just come into Silk and you can say okay I want to start x business 1:08:37 And I have no clue where to start can you set up everything for me and what it does is it goes it spawns agents one of them creates the sales pages one of them writes the sales copies one of them sets up everything on your autoresponder for the emails and all one of them goes and creates a lead magnet and like I kind of feel like we could do that like it's not hard to do but the problem that I can see is that it won't really have any expertise 1:09:14 Which just doesn't make sense because otherwise we're just you know creating ai slop which is something that I really hate. So yeah, I'm in a bit of a dilemma wherein it sure sounds good, but it might not be as good as it sounds. Like, it would be just generic, to be honest. So what do we do? Do we build this? Do we not build this? or maybe or maybe what we could do is we could have like specific workflows 1:10:00 And for those workflows um actually that doesn't make any sense okay I'll still have to do a bit of brainstorming it's midnight so it's a bit too late for me to be thinking that much right now so let's come back to that later okay by the way I know I invited some people on here from our sales page so some of you might not have Silk can you give me a three in the chat if you do not have Silk right now 1:10:40 Because I kind of wanted to show people the capabilities of Silk. So I just invited, you know, everyone and let's see. Okay. It's getting close right now. It's creating the captions. So it's hopefully coming on to finishing. and it's going to render the video after this and I'll show you the output once it's done okay we have duncan who is not part of Silk and we have um we have don who is also not part of 1:11:23 Silk yet if you are not part of Silk I am going to drop you a link where you can get Silk um it's one time so there's no subscription for that uh you can go in and pick it up and then besides this if you want to jump in the community you can go on to Skool and search for Smooth Operators or you know the link is also in this chat or you can just drop me an email and I can also send it to you over via the email so yeah I'm just dropping my email out here so if 1:12:05 Anyone of you ever wants to get in touch just hit me up um okay what else do we have let me see that's a thing right now people having different agents and naming them as member of your staff yeah exactly like I mean it's been a thing for a while but right now it's really catching up because all the big players are doing it. Is there a way we could create knowledge bases on a specific subject? Of course you could, Jeffrey. 1:12:45 But I guess you're talking in perspective of the agent itself. Yeah, I mean, the whole thing with the agent stuff would be that it would learn from everything it is doing and the feedback that you're sharing with it. because otherwise it's just useless. And that's not really hard because AI already does it. You can have your own frameworks and skills. The whole idea with the agents is that you get the ability to sort of, 1:13:16 I feel like it's more a gimmick than, you know, getting you an actual result. So I will hold off my thoughts on it until I can create something that works well. from known expert common sites and content similar to legally getting common data to train the agent yeah it could but again who decides who is the expert because if you leave it up to ai it's just gonna go run a google search and then um you know take the top 5 10 15 answers and just 1:13:51 Get its knowledge from there. So yeah, that's the bit of a problem. This incredible developing you're doing since the very beginning version. Yes, sir. Thank you so much for the appreciation. What LLM is generating the video? I have Silk integrated with Claude. So that's what's working and the video is done. So let's go and check it out. Let's see what it says. I set up the workflow from Finn's post and made a 20 second demo reel 1:14:12 · The finished video, saved as a skill
1:14:26 In Silkwork. It's 1080 by 920 with voice music and sound effects. I use Remotion instead of hyperframes. Oh, it actually went in and installed a voice model called Kokoro for the voice generation. That's cool. I picked the topic myself. Three things Silk does that a chatbot can't. So it basically created a video for Silk. The rest follows the post design, cream, paper, reddening colors, a talking cartoon presenter, word by word captions, titles, timestamps. I made the sound 1:14:59 Effects and music in code rather than downloading free ones. So they are basic. You can drop real ones. I checked still frames but haven't watched or listened to the full audio. Okay, let's see. Silk explainer demo in this folder. Let's see. 1:15:40 So stop chatting with AI and let it go. you I think yeah I think this is really good now I can go in and you know customize things like um the character I can ask it to make it look more like me um and so on and then the other cool thing 1:16:26 That I can do from right in here in Silk is that I can now save this as a skill which will allow me to call this skill the next time and so it won't I won't have to give it the same um x um the same x link that I sent earlier so that it could figure out the entire process now once I save this as a skill it's gonna learn it and then it's gonna save it in so that's pretty cool but yeah if I have skills can I load them in Silk yes you can um so open up Silk and then 1:17:06 Go into settings and then in here go into um skills and let me just cut this out and then when you click on the plus button you can create your own skill by typing it in or like there's another way so you can basically go in here and click on the teacher skill button so if it's a workflow that you typically perform on your computer you can show it to Silk instead of actually typing it in and then you do the entire process click the 1:17:40 Button and it saves that but let's see let's find our video skill yeah so it saved the entire skill for us the one that we just uh used to perform the or create the video but I think the video came out really nicely I will send this to Neil as well because he's been trying to do some of this stuff okay but yeah I think that's about it that's all that I wanted to share on this 1:18:26 · A favour, and goodbye
1:18:26 Community but okay I I actually need a favor as well from all of you um can you all for those of that are Silk user and have you Silk so recently I created um I created a Trustpilot for Silk I think it's Silk I don't know let me see yep okay okay so I created a Trustpilot for Silk and it's completely new can you all or you know 1:19:10 Those of you that have used Silk go and share your own feedback uh in here I'm not asking you to give it a five-star review if that's not what you feel give it a genuine and honest review I would really really appreciate that um you know it helps us collect proof and then based on that proof we can bring in more users into so I would really appreciate if you could take out two minutes today and just drop a review for Silk if you like it um again not asking for a five-star 1:19:43 Recommendation unless that's how you feel about it um but yeah and for those of you that haven't purchased it guys come on you're missing out this is the most incredible ai interface there is and for those of you that are uh jumping in the community I think I saw like at least 10 people come in uh make sure you go in and introduce yourself so that I can um you know we can start interacting with each other already. And then I will enable all of you, all of your 1:20:21 Features for the premium voice feature. And then the, what was the other one? The 1500 plus connected app features. So yeah, that's that. I wish I could just show you guys this, but on my other monitor, Silk is right now suggesting that I start a new task in here. I'll just drop a screenshot. But this is how Silk will basically suggest you things that you do on a repetitive basis. And this is going to show up for all of you. 1:21:02 So yeah, with that being said, if anyone has any more questions, do drop that in. If not, we will wrap up today's session. Thank you so much for those of you that showed up. And I really appreciate that. And by the way, I will send out this full replay along with a transcript and along with this chat, hopefully as well. If I can somehow, I'm not entirely sure about that yet. But I'll ask Silk and let's see if it can cook something up. 1:21:35 Frank says, Ijlal, I actually like that you're charging for the community. lifetime deals end up dying off as they can't support the workload looking forward to jumping in yeah exactly that's the whole purpose because I mean I have been running sas businesses for 10 years straight uh the last 10 years some of you might know me from gorilla ai which we sold back in may and after that I have started Silk which is almost six eight months into development 1:22:09 Now and even though we are charging one-time prices for it like there is no subscription for Silk yet um except this community which is primarily because you know there are some features that are really expensive for me to be able to fund that um so you know if it just comes out of that and then you know it also gives us all the ability to connect together with each other I think it's a good deal. Link to the video generator. 1:22:45 I did not really upload it anywhere, James. I will see if I can send this into this chat on Zoom. I might be able to. It's just 9 MB. Wow. But yeah, I don't see any more questions coming in. I have sent the video that we just generated as well. Appreciate all of you showing up. If you are jumping in in the community, go and say hello there and I'll catch up with you there. Thank you so much, guys. Have a good one. 1:23:25 Bye-bye.
