I stopped typing prompts a long time ago. I run an org chart instead.This is the whole thing: who works for me, who checks their work, and the one rule none of them are allowed to break. At the end I hand you the exact conversation I used to build it, so you can go build your own.AI is not the opportunity. AI transformation is. I am opening up the way I engineer, architect, design, build, and operate with AI inside my own businesses so you can see what is possible and build with me.Join here 👉 https://www.marketingwithmanuel.com/

I stopped opening video editors. I talk to Claude, and the videos come out finished.In this video, I break down my AI content factory: the exact 5-step method I use to turn one folder of raw content into finished, publish-ready videos. Then I show it live. Five minutes before a call, I sent Claude one prompt, typos and all. It found the right clip, added the correct date for every city, and burned in French, Spanish, and Hungarian subtitles. Four videos, four languages, zero editing apps. Native speakers have approved 100% of the translations so far.The 5 steps:1. Put your files in one folder on a drive2. Give the AI access to that folder3. Hand it the brand: the colors, the fonts, the logo, the actual hex codes4. Say what you want and what you don't. The don't list separates usable output from garbage5.

I paid $2.40 per lead and I didn't create a single ad. Claude AI built my entire ad campaign: the images, the carousels, the video clips, the copy. I approved, rejected, and directed. That's it.In this video, I show you the real results from 5 days of running ads that Claude AI created for me, 288 leads at $2.40 per lead on cold audiences and $5.62 on warm, and the exact workflow I used: feeding Claude my own content, letting it build the campaign, and staying in the director's chair while the machine executes.You'll learn:• How I used Claude AI to turn my own content (webinars, transcripts, videos) into a complete ad campaign• The approve/reject workflow that keeps YOU in control as the director• Why warm audiences cost more than cold ($5.62 vs $2.40) and why they're worth it• How I'm winning back the email subscribers who unsubscribed from my list• Why "I don't know how" is no longer a real obstacle in the era of AIAI is not the opportunity.

A year ago, I estimate this website would have cost me $50,000. I built it in one weekend with Claude and Codex, using no human production team — and a few thousand dollars in AI credits and tokens.This is not a step-by-step coding tutorial. In 5 minutes I break down why asking AI to "build me a better website" is not enough, and what I actually did instead: fed it raw files, had it build me an accept-or-reject board so I could approve or reject every image, video, and graphic, then directed the result. I cover where Codex and Claude each performed best, how I handed work back and forth between them when one got stuck, and how Vercel and Cloudflare fit into the finished site.The real advantage is not a single AI tool. It is your ability to think, communicate, make creative decisions, and direct the tools toward a clear result.See the finished AGM website: https://agmagency.com/See my finished website: https://manuelsuarez.com/Building with AI right now?

My AI agent handled 14,588 customer conversations and only 584, or 4%, required human escalation. In this video, I break down the real numbers behind the custom AI agent operating inside my ecommerce business: 14,588 conversations, $30,807 in influenced sales, 340 attributed orders, and only $805 in total AI cost.This is more than a chatbot answering basic questions. I wanted an agent that could communicate naturally, understand the education behind the NaturalSlim brand, respond around the clock, support customers, and help produce revenue across our website and text messages.I also explain the practical starting point for building useful AI systems in your own business. Start by defining exactly what you want, use tools like Claude or Codex to map the path, and focus on building one valuable system at a time.But an AI agent cannot manufacture demand from nothing. If you want an agent to produce sales, you need customer attention and traffic first. If you do not have enough traffic yet, that is the first machine you need to build.Subscribe to learn more about marketing, business growth, and how to use AI to build systems that create real leverage. AI Transformation Sessions with Manuel Suarez 👉 https://www.marketingwithmanuel.com/AI is not the opportunity.

AI pinpointed the exact stage where my ecommerce funnel was hemorrhaging sales, and the answer wasn't where I expected.In this video, I walk you through how to audit your own funnel, identify the weakest stage, and stop wasting time fixing the wrong problem.Watch me trace $299,000 in ad spend from 26 million impressions and 639,000 outbound clicks through product views, carts, initiated checkouts, and 11,820 purchases. Rather than guessing, I benchmark every stage against its performance target and eliminate the metrics that are already healthy.In my funnel, AI zeroed in on checkout: only 17% of initiated checkouts converted to purchases against a 40% target. I also walk through the Shopify change we made, moving from a three-page checkout to one page and watching the number climb to 30%.You'll see how to copy my Funnel Builder, connect your own data, rule out the healthy stages, and focus on the conversion point that is actually costing you sales.Subscribe to learn more marketing.#Ecommerce #ConversionRateOptimization #Shopify

Most satisfying result in AI so far: a complete branded webinar deck, built from one voice brief, in about three minutes.In this session, I walk through the exact brief I gave Codex, show how it shared memory with Claude, and reveal the finished presentation it built without a single design tool.Then I break down the five phases every business owner needs to understand before using AI seriously:1. Productivity (too small a goal)2. "What good looks like" (the 90/100 standard)3. Transformation (not just faster, fundamentally different)4. Architecture (you are the director, AI is the builder)5. Memory and iteration (save, score, improve)I also show my first-loop recipe: the exact steps to build one painfully real AI workflow from scratch, including the scorecard and memory vault that make the system compound.If you have been using AI for prompts but not for systems, this is where the shift happens.Watch next: The $50K CEO Dashboard Buildhttps://youtu.be/QgFlI9UMkyg

Most people are still using AI like a prompt box. They ask a question, get an answer, copy a few lines, and then the work comes right back to them.In this podcast, I show a different way to think about AI. I wanted a public ClickUp chat where I could share AI discoveries and training updates. Instead of brainstorming forever, I told Codex the outcome, rejected unnecessary platforms, and had it build the form, welcome flow, instructions, and email handoff.That is the difference between a prompt and a loop. A prompt answers. A loop keeps moving until the outcome exists.To find out more go to www.talktoaninja.com today.#AIForBusiness #AILoops #BusinessAutomation #ManuelSuarez
