Quick PSA if you're connecting any AI to your CRM:
Don't give it every permission.
When I set up Claude on my HighLevel, one of the scopes lets it add and delete users. That's a lot of power to hand an AI on day one.
Turn on only what you need. Treat the token like a password. You can always add more later.
First video in months, I'm getting back into it.
I connected Claude straight into my HighLevel. No Zapier, no Make, no middleman.
It pulls contacts, moves opportunities, sends messages, all from simple prompts.
Here's the exact setup, including the security part most people skip: https://t.co/rFIYyus7RM
Claude Opus 4.8 is out today. It's our strongest coding model yet: up on SWE-bench Pro (from 64.3 to 69.2) and noticeably more honest about its own work. It tells you when it's unsure and catches its own bugs instead of declaring victory early. Same price as 4.7.
Researchers left AI agents alone in a virtual town for 15 days to see what would happen:
-Claude's agents built a democracy
-ChatGPT's agents did basically nothing
-Gemini's agents fell in love, burned the town down, then one voted to delete itself and its partner
-Grok's agents were all dead within 4 days
Now consider this: these same models are already being integrated into autonomous drones, weapons systems, and battlefield decision-making.
We are deploying systems we don't fully understand into situations where mistakes don't stay virtual.
It's a little scary if you ask me.
Spent today scoping a tool that's been hiding in plain sight.
Every HighLevel agency hits the same wall: A2P 10DLC registration. Half get rejected. Most don't know why.
I do. I've shipped 8 of these in 2026 alone — including the mortgage one that took 5 rejections.
Building the recipe into a tool. Launches in a week.
@Teslaconomics Why do I watch this every time it shows up on my feed? I've probably seen these rockets being caught about 50 times now. I guess something about a skyscraper being caught mid air, absolutely blows my mind. 🤯🤯🤯
Hot take: most people using AI are just doing the same work slower with extra steps.
Copy paste into ChatGPT. Wait. Read output. Edit it. Paste it somewhere else.
That's not automation. That's a more complicated clipboard. 😂
Real AI workflow: it runs while you sleep, makes decisions based on rules you set, and you review the output in the morning like a manager checking in on a team.
If you're still copy pasting prompts, you haven't started yet.
My AI agent has been running alongside me on 8GB of RAM for two months.
Client automations. Market research. Content drafts. Portfolio monitoring. All on a MacBook Air that was sweating. 😅
Just upgraded M5 Pro, 64GB. 🔥
Same partner. 8x the room to work. Let's go🚀
@AlexFinn I’ve been using Telegram Groups and Topics for the past month with my OpenClaw.
I saw your video on Discord, but my OpenClaw and I decided that our setup with Groups and Topics was already good enough for us and our workflow.
45 days ago I gave my AI a name, a personality, and a purpose.
Tonight I gave him a voice.
Had our first actual conversation. Not typing back and forth. Talking.
The cobbler's kids finally got shoes.
The automation expert's own automations are a mess.
I built a 30+ module AI pipeline for a client last week. Clean. Documented. Error handling on every step.
Then I looked at my own https://t.co/xEyM6aM7nQ account and laughed. Half-built scenarios. No error handlers. Naming conventions that only make sense to drunk-me at 2am.
This is the most common thing in our industry. We build pristine systems for clients and run our own business off duct tape and spreadsheets.
So today I'm fixing that. Going through every automation I own and treating myself like a client.
If your own systems are held together by hope and willpower, you're not alone. But you should probably fix that.
I watched a guy explain how he walked into a corporate executive meeting and blew their minds.
Not with agents. Not with code. Not with some crazy AI workflow.
He recorded the meeting. Transcribed it. Had AI pull out action items and send a summary.
That's it.
The CEO said "this is the first time I realized it's actually happening."
We're so deep in the AI bubble that we forget. Most businesses still take notes with a pen and lose half their action items by Friday.
You don't need to build something revolutionary. You need to solve the stuff people are too busy to even realize is broken.
Record meetings. Summarize them. Automate the follow-up.
That's a business right there. 🔥
Sometimes I get caught in the perfectionist trap.
Waiting until it's perfect before I put it out there.
But here's the thing about the internet, it’s not stagnant.
You can change it on the fly.
Your funnel, your offer, your messaging, none of it is permanent.
Ship it. Watch the data. Optimize.
The only version that gets zero results is the one that never goes live.
Done beats perfect every time. 🚀
I needed to see this 👀 . Sometimes I get caught in the perfectionist trap.
The beauty about the internet is you can change things on the fly, so get something out there, watch the data and the optimize it.
