Key Insights

Yesterday, I was working on my laptop, and I realized that 95% of the tasks that I do on my computer for content and marketing is inside Codex. And Codex is OpenAI’s brand-new super app. And the reason I’m able to use AI agents for almost all of my marketing tasks is because I’ve built a layer of skills around Codex. These are repeatable workflows that I use every single day to help me go from 1.5 million followers to hopefully 10 million followers by the end of next year. In this video, I’m going to walk through the top seven plugins and skills that I use every single day inside Codex. And if you are a Claude co-work or Claude code user, these skills will work in the exact same way, and you can use them, and I guarantee you you will get value from this video. You are going to learn a marketing skill that will impact your business or your personal brand. Let’s not waste any more time. Let’s dive into the video. Okay. So, today we’re going to be talking about the best skills that I use as a creator and marketer. And again, this works inside Claude code and Codex. So, before we dive into the seven skills that I use basically every single day for marketing, I do want to discuss the basics of Codex. And I also want to talk about what a skill is. All right. So, this right here is Codex. And Codex is somewhat similar to Claude desktop app, which has chat, co-work, and Claude code. The reason I use Codex is they basically combined all of them into one experience, and it’s just Codex. And on Codex, you can generate slide decks, you can also generate spreadsheets, and you can work directly in the spreadsheet. You can generate full documents, and you can also generate any type of app or webpage. When you use Codex, you’re basically prompting an AI agent, and you can select your model, and this AI model has full control over your computer. It can edit, delete, and create files on your computer. Basic overview of how the app is kind of organized visually. You have your agent chats here on the left side. Up top on the left, you have kind of your different features. In this middle column, you have your agent conversation, and then you have your preview. And this will be a preview of an app if you ask for an app. It’ll be a preview of a browser if you ask to navigate to a certain website. It’ll be a preview of a spreadsheet if you ask it to create a spreadsheet. And it will be a preview of a presentation if you ask for a PowerPoint. And so, that’s what makes this a super app is depending on the task, it’ll open up a preview, and this preview is very dynamic. Can be many different things. And so, of course, you can create many type of documents. You can create any type of app. They have skills and plugins, which we’re going to be talking about today. This is going to be the most important part. And today, we’ll also touch on automations because automations can actually be used with skills and plugins. They kind of go together because you can see here, this is actually a good example of an automation that I’ve created, and this Google Calendar and this Gmail are plugins. And so, we’re going to talk about that today. And the final thing I will say about super apps is they’re getting better at controlling your computer. They have computer use, which allows it to fully control your computer. And it also has browser use. And so, remember we talked about this in-app browser here. The agent can actually control your browser, and you can see the mouse moving around controlling your browser. Every single month that goes by, it’ll get better and better at controlling your browser. And so, while you’re using Codex, there’s two commands that you should be aware of when using skills. The first one is a skill. So, if you want to use a skill that you’ve already created, you can press slash, and we can you can see here I can type YouTube researcher skill, I can use the Excalidraw diagram skill, I can use the Remotion best practices skill. These are all skill
