THE PANEL'S ANSWER

Grant used Codex's browser automation capability to log into Vimeo and the online platform, then instructed it to post all 60 videos with proper thumbnails, metadata, and style guide compliance. Codex worked through the task slowly at first, then accelerated, and even proactively tested each video after posting to verify they played correctly, radically reducing turnaround time.

26:10last week and I wasn't here last week. I'm doing an online event. We had 60 sessions that recorded. All the recordings were put onto Vimeo. They then need to be posted into an online platform for viewing and thumbnails set in there in that platform as well as thumbnails set in Vimeo and the style guide on Vimeo needs to be set, all of that stuff. And so

26:40was just like, I think computer use or like the browser within Codex could do this. I opened Vimeo, I opened the online platform and I said, this is what I want you to do. And it went slowly to start with and sort of worked it out. And then it just, it flew through it. And so it just, it radically changed my turnaround time on posting all of these videos.

27:09and the client was blown away how quickly we could have fully edited videos. But with the right thumbnails, the right details, all of that stuff. And it picked up along the way. It was like, oh, this one isn't the right video. Because it's the other thing is I'm sitting there doing other work and the video starts playing five seconds. And then another video starts playing.

27:32And so without me telling it, it was testing it. And so once it had posted all the videos, it went and played every video to make sure that they played. And so that was kind of mind-blowing. Anyway, I just feel like I'm in the race trying to catch up with how to best use it as tools. I think it's constantly changing. You know, like every new model comes out and how do you interact with it changes and what effort mode.

28:04and that's the game every time a new model comes out is trying to figure out how do you effectively use this and then how does it affect your work and how much do you trust it and what is being changed that they're not even communicating with all these little updates that they push out you know when you're on the bleeding edge this is the the price you're paying is some of it is

28:24just learning how to use it versus just you know when you're an early adopter this is this is kind the pain of it but it's still going to make you way more efficient or do things that you weren't able to do before um so it's well worth it it's a good investment and obviously you'll be ahead of it when it changes again in the future uh next week yeah so every couple weeks there seems to

28:48be a new frontier model that hits and changes the game and you know but they're all learning from each other and going as fast as they can. So then for you, John, do you feel like there's these two experiences that you're having? Because you're messing around with it, you know, at home, doing all these amazing things with Core Video and things, but then you've got a very large company that you work for

29:17with a big development team and infrastructure and all this and SOPs and you know like there's all these processes that you have to go through is it is it hard to kind of what are they overlapping at all is it you know is it people that are messing around as much as you are that are trying to do that for work related tasks yeah i think that um
