I Needed a Tool Nobody Sells. So I Typed One Sentence.

This is a tool that I've needed for a very long time. It's a tool that tracks all the brand deals that I have going on, what everyone's agreed to pay, what's actually landed, what's still sitting, what needs me to follow up from the first email all the way until a video is published. And I was a software developer for 20 years, but I did not write a single line of code to get this built. I didn't open a spreadsheet. I didn't hire anyone. I typed one paragraph describing what I was looking for in plain English and sure thing, which we're going to be looking at today, built it all. Database dashboard, the forms, all of it. So I want to show you how, because I'm sure that there are problems that you have that software could solve and you think I'm not a developer. I don't want to hire anyone. You can build this software yourself. You can build the tools you need for yourself. Let me show you how. So let me tell you about my situation. So I run brand deals on this channel and at any given moment I have somewhere between eight and 15 that I'm talking through or trying to work something out. All of them have a brand, a contact, a number we agreed on, a deliverable that I'm supposed to give them a stage that it's sitting at in the process. Some of them have paid half, some have paid all, some are just for free for a long time. I just tracked this all in my head. Okay. That's very inefficient. Don't recommend that at all. I'm getting older. My memory doesn't work like it used to, so that wasn't a good solution. Then I started running it in a spreadsheet and you know, that worked pretty well, especially when you're small, a spreadsheet is okay, but it's very hard to keep that updated, you know, and it's, I'd have to remember to go update it constantly. Anytime I got an email, even I'd have to go update the spreadsheet. Then I upgraded to a local database, which that worked a lot better. I kind of had AI talking to this database, but it wasn't real user friendly. So what I want you to do is think about a problem that you have similar to the problem that I had. Maybe you have clients, maybe you have orders, maybe you just, you have to dues, whatever the case might be, but you might need a tool to help you organize this or manage this. You might not want to pay for that tool. You might not know coding to build it for yourself. And again, you might not want to hire someone, pay them $15,000 to build this tool. In the past, software developers held the keys to this problem. You only could get your software built that you needed. If you knew a software developer or you learn to code yourself, AI has flipped the script to change the game on this. So we're going to be looking at sure thing today. And specifically we're going to be looking at them building tools like this. They do a lot of different things, but we're going to focus on that here today. But sure thing has a thing called pages. So you describe a tool that you want in plain English. It goes and builds it, but not a template that you fill in, not a form builder where you drag boxes around. It writes an actual working application with a real database behind it and hands it back to you. So we're going to try this. I'm going to describe the exact tool that I need out loud. And then we're going to see what comes back. So down here they say, boss, what stresses you out? Hand it over. And they have a whole bunch of agents that do a whole bunch of different things. So I probably need to do another video on sure thing just to highlight some of the other things that they do. But we're again, we're going to focus on building this tool that I want. So again, just describe it in plain English. Build me a sponsor deal tracker. I'm a YouTuber and I run brand deals. I need one page where every deal is a row, brand name, contact name, and email. What I agree to deliver, the dollar amount, how much I've actually been paid and what stage it's at from first email through negotiating, paid, scripting, recording, editing, and published. And again, I, one thing I love about AI, I can misspell things, have typos. I'm not even going to fix them. If you have OCD, that might bother you, but AI knows what I mean. So I'm not going to waste the time. Although I just took 20 seconds saying I'm not going to waste the time, which probably wasted some time. Anyways, I want to see at a glance which deals owe me money and which ones are stuck. Give me a way to add a new deal and change a stage without touching a spreadsheet. So that's what I'm looking for. And I want to give it as much context as I can, because that will make AI make better decisions as it gets going building this. So let's go ahead and just hit enter and just get going with it and turn on browser notifications. Because again, one thing I love about AI, I can start this, then I can go work on something else. And I'll get browser notifications that when it gets to the next step or when it needs input or when it's done. So it says it's building this as a page. So it's going to look at the page skill. So we'll see how it does here. I like watching AI as it goes, reading skilled on MD, searching memory, thinking, it looks like it's setting up a database. Now it's creating some files. I like, this makes me feel productive. Okay. I know that's weird, but it makes me feel like I'm getting accomplishing a lot. Look at all these files that I just created. I love AI. I do like this. It's writing tests as it goes. So not only is it writing the code, but it's writing the tests to make sure that it works the way that it should. So we'll let this run for a bit and I'll see you for you to be like three seconds. All right. So this took about 14 minutes. It did all the tests. And so this ran for about 14 minutes. It wrote all the tests, wrote all the features. So let's see how it works. And again, the test that I personally care about is not whether this made something that looks nice. I do want it to look nice. I like aesthetics, but I want to know if it actually will work for me. Can I actually use it as a tool in my day to day? So we go over to pages and it looks pretty good. This is what I asked for. Outstanding stuck deals, booked, collected where the deals sit. No deals added yet. Let's add a deal here. Acme audio. That looks good. Dana Reed. She's not a real person. Dana at Acme.com. Don't try to get in touch with her. She's not real. 60 second mid roll integration deal amount. We'll say $15,000. I will say $150,000. And we'll say she paid 20,000 already. That'd be nice. Starting stage. First email. Let's go ahead and add the deal. All right. So it did right away. Updated everything. Outstanding went up, booked, went up, collected where it should be. Has the deal there. Shows where the deals sit. We have one in first email. Let's add one more just to make sure this time we'll, we'll call it a, let's say Elon. Oh, we'll say a space X once a collab, Elon Musk, Elon at spacex.com. Once a YouTube short for $1 million and he already paid 500 K. These are not real numbers, by the way. I don't know if I needed to say that, but just want to make sure that you know. Awesome. So right away, updated. Now we have two deals. They're both in first email. So let's say I update one. Let's go to space X. Let's say he's in paid. All right. And it did, it updated. So there's one deal in paid one deal in first email. So this tool works the way that I expected it to. I do like sure. Thing actually took some liberties based on, this is why I give it as much context as I can because sometimes AI knows what you're looking for better than you know what you're looking for. So instead of saying exactly what you want, it's a lot of times better just to give it full context of the problem because like this stuck deals, I never asked for this, but that's obviously a really good thing to know is a, how many deals are like stuck that I need to go nudge. And then this says needs you first. I didn't ask for this in that original prompt I gave it, but that's really handy to just be looking, Hey, what needs me to take a look at? Oh, space X owes me 500 K. That's a pretty big needs you. So it also made a administrative decision that stuck means no stage change in 14 days. So that's smart. I didn't give it a definition of stuck or what it means like to, you know, what it means to lose a deal or anything, but they're saying stuck means that there's been no change in 14 days. I like that. I did think too, it's, it's pretty cool. Like in deliverables 60 second mid roll integration plus one short two revisions. That is the type of deal that I do. I didn't tell it that, but again, since I gave it the context, it knows, Hey, what do YouTube deals usually look like? And that's a pretty standard one. So there's a lot more that I could do with this that would even make it more useful. I could connect it to my Gmail and then they have these routines. So these are kind of like things that just happen on their own automatically every so often, but I could make a routine that just says, Hey, go check my email. See if any statuses on these deals needs to be updated. That would actually be pretty helpful thing. Maybe every morning give me a daily briefing, what deals there are, what needs me, what do I need to do today? That'd be helpful and tons of integrations. Like I could integrate with Stripe to see when what people have paid. That'd be really helpful. I use Trello with my video editor to know what videos need to be edited so I could integrate with that. That'd be helpful in this scenario as well. What I would love for you to do in the comments is name a tool. Just name a problem in your business or in your life that you think maybe software could solve. And I want you to go try sure thing and just try to build a tool. Just describe the problem, describe what you need done and see how it handles it. And I'd love to see some of those in the comments. So if you'd like to see me continue on this build and actually show connecting my Gmail, connecting maybe my calendar to make this tool even more useful and create a routine to check it, let me know. I'd love to do a second video on sure thing and show you what else it can do. So sure things link is down in the description. Please go check it out. Shout out to sure thing. So many people building so many cool things and I'm just really thankful to be able to check them out and review them for you. So thank you guys so much for watching. God bless you all and have a great rest of your day.
