Before the program, I only had a very basic appreciation of what NotebookLM could do, and was aware of the various updates that Google made to the tool.
But from what Vyk had shared, it went further from what I understood from my own testing. Also, the framework he covered with Airtable and with Claude in prior lessons was very key. I was using Claude for 60-80% of general LLM tasks, with Gemini taking 20-30%, and ChatGPT having even fewer use from me.
I am very relieved to see that Vyk and Vishen agree that Anthropic has done a MARVELOUS job in improving their overall platform.
I have easily cut 10-20hrs of work I do per week vs without having not just GenAI tools, but establishing clones that act as my digital partners and "future self" to challenge me for constant personal and professional improvement.
I think also having a solid understanding and mindset of how the tools work and the backend operations is important, especially when things may go wrong and having to debug any issues.
Mindvalley fostered that mindset, along with the amazing communities that form from it.
Hats off to Vishen, Vyk, Bianca and the whole team.
The video story is my dedication to Vishen and how he fostered my AI transformation starting in August 2024.
