We Ran a 25-Hour Workshop for $67. Here's What Actually Happened.

The plan was simple. Four days. Two hours each. Teach people Claude Code, help them build something real, done.

That is not what happened.

Every single day ran four hours instead of two. We added a VIP day on top of that. By the end of it we had logged somewhere around 25 hours of live, hands-on, watch-and-build Claude Code content. My voice was gone. My team was fried. And I wouldn't change a thing.

Here's the thing... it wasn't perfect. Not even close. The webinar software malfunctioned early on. There was a watermark we couldn't get rid of. I lost my chat window halfway through so people were talking to me and I literally couldn't see any of it. Some people quit on day one because things were moving too fast and they hadn't gotten the homework email to prep. Real talk: there were some frustrated people and I totally get it.

But here's what else happened. About 500 people registered. 380 to 400 showed up every single day. 410 people bought the VIP upgrade for the replays. And the feedback that kept coming back, over and over, was some version of: "I feel like I got $6,000 worth of education for $67."

For context — other people were running the same program for $1,400.

What made it worth every chaotic minute wasn't the numbers. It was watching people actually build things. Taking action. Shipping MVPs they didn't think were possible a week earlier. That's the whole point. That's why I do this.

You probably already know where I'm headed with this. We're doing it again. End of this month. Same 500-seat cap — we're not going bigger because this material is genuinely hard to teach at scale and I'd rather do it right than do it big. This time we're adding intro videos beforehand so nobody shows up on day one already behind. More demo, more Q&A, more breathing room.

If you missed the first one and you've been kicking yourself about it — stop kicking and get on the waitlist: https://go.vcinc.ai/claudecode

First dibs go to the list. And based on what happened last time, seats will go fast.

The messy version worked. The cleaned-up version is going to be something else entirely.

🎯 Your GHL websites are invisible to Google. Here's how to fix that in under 10 minutes.

Most people using HighLevel's AI builder are stopping at "wow, it built me a page." That's like buying a billboard and parking it in your garage. The site exists. Nobody sees it.

Here's what's actually going on under the hood — and what you should be doing right now across every site you've ever built in HighLevel.

The AI Website Builder: What It Actually Does

If you haven't touched the AI builder yet, here's the deal. You go to Sites, hit "Build with AI," and you describe what you want. Not in technical terms — in plain English. Nuno literally spoke a full website brief into existence using Whisper Flow and got back a hero section, offer area, testimonials, booking popup, about section, and footer. One prompt. A few minutes.

Is it perfect out of the box? No. You'll need to:

• Swap in real images — the AI doesn't know your client's photo library

• Wire up your forms — it can't auto-select which form you want to use

• Fix your buttons — popup triggers, calendar links, next-step redirects all need manual attention

• Build page by page — this isn't a "generate entire site" button (yet). Each page is its own prompt.

But here's the thing... a functional, on-brand, conversion-structured page in under 15 minutes? That's still a massive win. And what most people are completely missing is what happens after the page is built.

Schema Markup: The Feature Nobody's Talking About

Schema markup is how you tell Google, AI browsers, and search bots exactly what your page is about — in a language they actually understand. It's the difference between "some website about dentists" and "this is Dr. Smith's dental practice in Miami, they do cleanings and whitening, here's their phone number and hours." One of those shows up as a rich snippet. One doesn't.

HighLevel just added AI-generated schema markup directly inside the page editor. Here's how to turn it on and use it:

• Agency accounts: Go to Agency settings → Labs → activate the schema markup feature

• Sub-account users: Ask your white-label provider to flip this on — they need to enable it from their agency side

• Once it's on: Inside any page editor, go to SEO Metadata → scroll down to Schema Markup → hit "Create with AI"

That's it. HighLevel reads your entire page, figures out what kind of business it is, and generates structured schema data automatically. Local business, event, service page — it identifies the context and builds the markup accordingly.

And yes — go back and do this to every existing site. Every funnel page. Every client website. Every landing page you've ever built. This takes maybe 30 seconds per page and it's the kind of foundational SEO work that compounds quietly in the background while you're doing everything else.

And Then There's What's Coming...

HighLevel gave a sneak peek of their upcoming Vibe Code Builder — and it looks like a completely different beast from the current beta. We're talking a builder that:

• Automatically detects when you're adding a calendar or form element and connects it to your existing HighLevel assets

• Creates custom fields on the fly — you say "add a field for favorite food," it creates the field in the system, not just on the page

• Produces designs that actually look like a real agency built them

The current AI builder is useful. The Vibe builder looks like it'll make tools like Framer and Webflow sweat a little.

For now: use the builder you have. Build pages faster. Add schema to everything. And keep an eye out because that Vibe builder is going to change how a lot of us are delivering client sites.

🤖 Claude Co-Work Automate Everything

You're still the bottleneck in your own AI setup. Here's how to fix that.

Think about how you're using AI right now. You open a chat, ask something, get an answer, close the tab. Maybe you copy-paste something into another tool. Maybe you forget which conversation had that thing you needed. Then you start over.

That's not automation. That's just a fancy search engine with better grammar.

Claude Cowork is the shift from "AI that answers" to "AI that acts." And if you haven't set it up yet, you're leaving a ridiculous amount of time on the table every single week.

Here's the breakdown of what actually makes it different:

• Regular Claude — no memory between sessions, reactive only, 100% dependent on you to initiate everything. You're still the bottleneck.

• Claude Cowork — knows your business context, remembers across sessions (now with a 1 million token context window upgrade), and can run scheduled tasks on autopilot while you're doing literally anything else.

The three things that make Cowork actually powerful — not just interesting — are skills, connectors, and scheduled tasks. Get those three working together and you've got something that genuinely runs in the background.

Connectors: Give It Eyes Into Your Business

Start here. Connectors are how you plug Cowork into the tools you're already living in — Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, Notion, ClickUp, Canva, and hundreds more. If it's not in the native connector list, you can hook in Zapier and suddenly you've got 8,000+ apps accessible.

One important thing to understand: you control the permissions. You don't have to hand over the keys to everything.

• Set Gmail to needs approval before sending — it drafts, you review

• Set Calendar reads to always allow, but Calendar edits to needs approval — it can check your schedule, but won't accidentally blow up your week

• Set Slack to read and draft, but not post — it finds unanswered messages, you decide what goes out

This is the move. Build trust with the tool incrementally. Don't give it full access on day one and then be shocked when something goes sideways.

Skills: Teach It to Think Like You

Skills are essentially very advanced, highly specific prompts that get saved and reused. You can download pre-built ones from places like skills.sh or Claude Templates — there's already a growing library covering everything from file organization to lead research to CEO-level strategic advice.

Quick heads up on downloaded skills: before you install anything you grabbed from the internet, paste the code into a regular Claude chat and ask it to scan for malicious code or prompt injections. Takes 30 seconds and could save you a headache.

Or build your own. The daily brief example from the tutorial is one of the best starting templates — a scheduled skill that hits your Gmail, Calendar, and Slack every morning at 9 AM, summarizes what needs attention, drafts email responses in your voice, and spits out a prioritized action plan for the day. The output even flagged a birthday and newsletter deadline without being asked. That's not magic — that's just context done right.

Scheduled Tasks: The "Set It and Forget It" Layer

This is where it gets actually wild. Once you've got skills built and connectors live, you schedule them. Daily brief at 8 AM. Competitor research on Mondays. Skill improvement review every Friday — where Cowork literally evaluates its own skills, finds gaps, and self-improves.

The one catch: your computer has to be on. If you're running this on your main machine, that's usually fine. If you want true 24/7 operation, you put this on a secondary machine or a VPS that's always running. Leave it alone. Let it work.

Here's where this is all heading: we're moving from AI as a tool you pick up to AI as infrastructure that runs underneath everything. Cowork is early-days version of that future. The gap between people who've built this out and people who haven't is going to widen fast in 2026.

Set it up this week. Not next month. This week.

Anthropic shipped 74 updates in 52 days. OpenAI killed their video app. And there's a leaked model name that has everyone losing their mind.

This was one of those weeks where you blink and miss three things. So let's move fast.

Anthropic Is in Full Send Mode

74 releases in 52 days. That's not a product team. That's a product team on an IV drip of Red Bull and existential urgency. Computer use, Cowork scheduling, Claude Code auto mode, dispatch, projects inside Cowork, 1 million token context window — and that's just the stuff from the last two weeks.

The one that actually changes your workflow right now: Claude Code Auto Mode. If you've ever given Claude Code a task, walked away to grab coffee, came back 20 minutes later and found it sitting there asking "do I have permission to run this terminal command?" — that frustration is gone. Auto mode handles the routine permissions without stopping to ask. It just goes. Every Claude Code user on the planet is breathing a quiet sigh of relief right now.

The other one worth paying attention to is computer use + dispatch. Claude can now take control of your mouse and keyboard, open apps, click around, complete tasks. Is it fast? No. It's painfully slow right now. But combine it with the dispatch feature — which lets you command your computer from your phone while you're away — and the speed stops mattering. You text your computer to go do something. It does it. You didn't have to be there.

And then there's the leak. Anthropic accidentally left a pre-publish blog post live on their website for just long enough for someone to copy it. The model name: Claude Mythos. A new tier above Opus. Higher scores on coding, academic reasoning, and cybersecurity than anything they've released. The blog post also warned — their words, not mine — that this model can exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities in ways that "far outpace the efforts of defenders."

They took the post down. But the internet doesn't forget.

OpenAI Had a Rough Week

Sora is dead. OpenAI decided they're done with side quests and killed their video generator entirely — the app, the API, all of it. Smart business move probably, since it was burning compute for what was essentially a meme machine. Less smart in terms of timing, because they had just signed a massive deal with Disney to use the technology.

Disney found out Sora was being shut down the same way everyone else did. Publicly. No warning. Deal dead.

There's also this: OpenAI's ad platform isn't working. Advertisers who bought early campaigns can't tell if anything is converting. No measurable business outcomes. And in the same week that news dropped, OpenAI quietly announced they're building out product discovery inside ChatGPT — letting e-commerce brands list products, making it easier to compare and shop. It's free to list right now.

It won't stay free. This is Google's shopping ads playbook, beat for beat. Watch this space.

Google Quietly Doing Things Nobody's Talking About

Gemini 3.1 Flash Live is genuinely impressive and criminally underrated. You can share your screen, point your webcam at it, and have a full back-and-forth conversation about what it's seeing in real time. Show it your OBS settings and ask how to fix something — it walks you through it live. Think of it as what Siri promised to be for 15 years and never delivered.

They also demoed an AI-generated browser where every page you visit is created on the fly in real time. You type "taco cat parade" and a page generates from scratch in seconds. No memory, no saved pages — it's more of a proof of concept than a product right now. But the speed is insane and it's pointing at something genuinely weird about where the web is going.

Oh, and Lyria 3 Pro now generates full songs up to 3 minutes with verses, choruses, and bridges. It's inside Gemini, Google AI Studio, and basically every Google product. Suno 5.5 dropped the same week with voice cloning built in. You can train your own voice and have it sing things you would never actually sing.

Do not use your own voice. Trust me on this one.

Here's where I think all of this lands for your business: the AI tools war is no longer about which model is smartest. It's about which platform becomes the operating layer for how you work. Anthropic is betting it's Claude + Cowork. Google is betting it's Gemini everywhere. OpenAI is betting it's ChatGPT as a commerce and productivity hub.

You don't have to pick one. But you do have to pick something and actually build on it. Watching from the sidelines in 2026 is not a strategy.

😲This AI Tool Gets You on Podcasts & Stages Automatically

The Thing My Wife Said That Ripped Me to the Core

Five years ago, my wife looked at me and said something I wasn't ready to hear.

"Your biggest problem is not enough people know who you are."

I remember just staring at her. Part of me wanted to argue. I have a YouTube channel. I show up. I put out content. I know my stuff. What do you mean nobody knows me?

But she wasn't wrong.

You can be genuinely good at what you do and still be completely invisible. Skill doesn't automatically create an audience. Expertise doesn't book you on stages. And hoping someone eventually notices you from your corner of the internet? Not a strategy.

The other problem I had — and maybe you have this too — is I'm actually not great at pitching myself. I can sell a product all day. But pitching me feels like boasting. So I just didn't do it. Figured the right opportunities would come eventually.

They didn't.

So I started using a tool called BrandPod. And I want to be crystal clear — no affiliate link here, no deal, no commission. I'm sharing it because it genuinely changed something for me.

Here's what it actually does: you go through an intake process where it digs deep into your story — your experiences, your expertise, what you want to be known for, your unpopular opinions, all of it. It's uncomfortable in the best way. Some people spend 3 hours on it. It takes everything you give it and builds out a complete brand profile — your messaging, your positioning, your unique value, the audience you should actually be targeting.

Then the agents kick in. They research which podcasts your ideal audience is listening to, which events they're attending, what they're actually searching for on Google and on ChatGPT and Claude. Not guesses — live data. Then it writes customized pitches for each podcast in your voice, follows up automatically, and even lets your VA send them so the response rate goes up.

Three days after I set it up, I was at an event and a podcast host walked up to me. "Nuno — I literally just got your email. I was thinking about having you on." I had to pretend I remembered what I wrote. (I didn't. BrandPod wrote it.)

My friend Kevin — world-renowned coach, hadn't posted on social media in years — started using it and within three months sent me a voice note that said: "I am drowning in opportunity. I don't know what to say yes to anymore."

That's the thing about building a brand. The tech, the automations, the AI tools — all of it matters. But none of it lands the same if nobody knows who you are. The audience is the multiplier for everything else you're building.

My wife knew it before I did. Took me five years and a tool that pitched me better than I ever pitched myself to actually do something about it.

If you're trying to get on stages, grow your audience, or just stop being the best-kept secret in your industry — try it. 14-day free trial, use code POD14. Do the intake first. Everything else builds from that.
