Практика Shadowing: Ultimate Guide To ChatGPT Codex for Everyday People - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

This is ChatGPT Codex.

Right now, it's one of the most powerful AI tools available.

And I know it has the word code in it, and it did start as a coding app.

But it could do a whole lot more now.

And just about anyone watching this video is going to be able to use it.

You don't actually need to know anything about coding in order to get a lot out of this app.

So how is Codex different?

Well, instead of just being a chatbot, Codex could actually do the work for you.

It could handle knowledge work and it could also do coding tasks at the same time in the same chat.

And the unique thing about it is it works inside of folders.

on your own computer and it could connect to the apps that you already use like Gmail and Slack, and it could even take over your computer and do certain tasks inside of different apps.

So in this video, I'm going to show you exactly how it works.

I want to show you exactly how to set it up the right way, the app itself.

and I want to show you lots of different use cases

that I have that is going to make it worth your time and I'll include the prompts that I use as well.

So the first thing is you need to download the Codex app.

Right now it's not included in the ChatGPT experience on the web or if you have the ChatGPT app.

Just go to this website link that I'll put below in the description.

It's just on the ChatGPT .com website.

Now, I have a brand new install of Codex here.

Once you install it, it may ask you some question to personalize the experience for you.

And on the left panel here, it's going to feel like ChatGPT a little bit.

You could start a new chat from here.

And there are some other things that we're gonna cover in this video, like sites and plugins and automations.

and projects here and your recent chats will show up here.

But let me show you the center of this for a second because what this does

is actually uses the files on your computer and creates files on your computer.

The best way to organize everything inside a codex is something called Project.

So if you click this right here, you typically want to start from scratch.

So that allows you to create a folder on your own computer.

Now the way I like to work with it is I

like to pretty much isolate everything I do inside of those projects and not really cross contaminate different projects.

It just keeps things a lot more organized as you use this more and more.

So you'll press start from scratch right here and create your first project.

Now for this very first project on our first demo, I'm going to turn a bunch of different receipts I have into a really nice presentable Excel dashboard.

So a lot of us have to do this to make expense reports, for example.

So I'll start here.

The few other things before we go on with this project is you'll see some few other settings that appear.

One it says work locally.

So this is what I typically like to do.

This works on your own computer.

But you can actually connect this to CodexWeb if you want to go beyond just working locally on your own computer.

But that's kind of the power of it.

I like to work this way.

And then you'll see some other important options inside of the chat box right here.

The first one is this one that's really important to understand.

So This is based on permissions that you're willing to give to Codex.

Now, Codex is called an AI agent.

So it will do things for you.

Well, sometimes you want to make sure you kind of hold its hand, right?

You don't want to give it free reign to do whatever it wants because it does have

access to folders on your computer, but that's only if you give it access.

So let me show you how it works.

So the way it goes to work right now is it only has access to

that project or that folder that I created.

It can't go beyond that right now.

But it also, as it goes to work, it's going to ask you for approval always when it's using external files, editing or using the internet,

you could ask it to approve for me.

So this only asks for action.

that are potentially unsafe.

I think this is great for most people.

And then you could give it full access, unrestricted access to the internet and any file on your computer.

If you're watching a beginner's guide to codex, I highly recommend you don't choose this one.

and choose this instead.

On this side you could choose your ChatGPT model that is driving this.

Now I didn't mention this but this codex is available for free.

Everyone has access to it.

But it is usage based.

The more you use it, it's gonna use up credits and then at some point it's gonna be a pop up

that you ran out of credits and you need to pay more.

for a higher plan.

Now the reasoning efforts, the ChatGPT models, if you don't know anything about that, basically the higher the reasoning is,

right now 5 .5 is the best model but you know new models come out all the time.

So that is gonna pick that for you by default.

But the reasoning effort depends on how complex of a task you're doing.

Typically, I just have it set to high, because extra high will use up a lot more credit.

You could also alter the speed.

So right now it's set to fast, 1 .5 to normal speed, but again that's going to use up more credit.

So that is totally based on your plan, how much you're paying and how much you're going to use this.

If you want to keep things on the lower side, standard speed is good with high reasoning effort.

And obviously you always want to use the very best chat GPT model available, which is 5 .5 for just about anything that you do.

Now, when you do create those projects, they typically appear in your documents folder.

and they look like this.

They just look like a folder on your computer.

Now the next thing I did is I put these receipts here inside of this folder so it could access it.

Now remember there was a permission where you could access your whole computer.

Now that's the ultimate superpower of this app if you do give it

that kind of permission because you don't have to then put those receipts into that folder.

They could be scattered

all over the place

and it could capture the different things it needs from those different folders like your download folder or your desktop.

But right now I want to keep it self -contained and organized so I put everything manually into this folder.

Now I'm going to ask you to read all the receipt images, pull out all the vendor names, dates, the total for each, and build me an Excel sheet.

with a simple dashboard that shows me my spending by category here.

Now, if you have it access your whole computer, you have to tell us specifically where to look, if you want it to work faster.

A lot of times, you bring down your usage by being very clear in your prompt.

And by the way, if you press the plus sign here, you can add files and folders directly from here.

And you still use the project folder to create things inside of that folder.

And there's more things like plugins.

100

which is access to different apps that we're going to get into in a second.

101

Right now, I'm going to go ahead and send out this prompt right here.

102

Now, as you could see, Codex is going to go to work, and you could kind of watch it work, go through its thinking process, it creates steps for itself, so it's got to go through these four steps here.

103

So sometimes I just let this go and I go on about

104

doing something else on the web or just using ChatGPT for a different task.

105

In just a couple minutes, it's created what we asked for and it's asking me to open this in Excel.

106

I actually created an Excel file, so I'm going to press open in Excel.

107

And here is our Excel file.

108

So this is the dashboard it created.

109

And here's the spreadsheet.

110

So it pulled in exactly what I asked for: the vendor, the date, the total, the category.

111

It took about two minutes to do this.

112

When I used to travel for work, I used to do this all the time manually.

113

And it definitely took a whole lot longer than two minutes and I actually never had

114

the skills in Excel to make dashboards, I pretty much just was able to do something like this and then send it out.

115

And if you go back to that folder here where we had our receipts, you'll see a new document was created called Output.

116

And then within that, you could see that Excel sheet that is created here.

117

And you could see this dashboard was also saved as a PNG, something I didn't ask for, but obviously really useful to have things like this.

118

So that's a very basic example to show you how this Codex app actually works.

119

and we're going to also get into plugins how memory works and some more advanced things towards the end of the video.

120

And my team and I put together a free guide just for this video, specially focused on getting the most out of Codex.

121

It actually includes five copy and paste prompts for everyday business tasks.

122

That includes things like creating entire briefs, data cleanup that I'm showing you here, some of my prompts there,

123

workflow audits, and you'll find the prompts really practical and easy to use, especially for Codex.

124

I'll put a link in the description so you could access that guide completely for you Now, actually, let me get into the memory explanation here on how this works,

125

because with codecs, you actually don't have to explain things over and over again.

126

So they have some things called skills that we're going to talk about in a bit, but he also has long -term and short -term memory that I want to explain here.

127

So there is a file inside of Codex called agents .md.

128

So think of this file as your onboarding document.

129

If you were hiring a real assistant, right?

130

You want to give them as much context as possible.

131

So every time you start a new chat or create a new project, Codex could actually read that file first.

132

So it already knows things about you, about who you are, and things that you want to get done.

133

Now, in this case, I'm going to create an Agents .md file specifically for a project, then you could create a new project from here.

134

Remember that I'm a YouTube creator.

135

I'm going to have all my spreadsheets color coded by priority.

136

If I write code, I want it done.

137

in Python here.

138

So anything you specifically want or want it to know about you, just say that.

139

Or you could actually have the interview format where you say interview me

140

and then ask me 10 questions to learn all about this project.

141

Or you could have a general agents .md file.

142

And if you send this out here, it creates this file typically in that project folder.

143

If you chose one, or if you didn't choose one, it will just remember that long term.

144

So when it does create it, if I click on it, it basically is system instructions or back -end instructions for how this agent should behave.

145

And you could see that right here.

146

So, It says I'm a YouTube creator here and it gave it more information than I actually had in my prompt here.

147

The coding preferences laid out here, the spreadsheet that I had and the working style.

148

And it's pretty short.

149

You could have these be much, much longer.

150

And by default, it will actually know how to keep its instructions like this one, like AgentsMD.

151

Now, this also has an automatic memory where it quietly learns from your past chats over time.

152

but you generally don't actually need to touch that or even see where it's at.

153

That will do that in the background.

154

Now for this next demo, I actually want to show you one of my favorite ways to use these AI type of agents like Codex.

155

Claude has another one that does this type of work called Claude Cowork.

156

If you have messy folders on your computer, like a download folder, you almost never have the time to figure out what's going on in your downloads folder, right?

157

So I'm going to have this take care of that for me with this prompt.

158

Look at every file in the download /mess folder.

159

This is just the folder I just made, but figure out which client each one belongs to, what it is, name it or rename it clearly,

160

sort it by different folders for different clients, and give me a nice folder structure, right?

161

So now you're going to give it access to go do things on your computer and move things around in different folders.

162

And in this one, I actually already have the folder.

163

So I'm going to say choose an existing folder and that's the folder.

164

And I'll open that folder here.

165

And this is what that folder looks like right now before it's done.

166

And I'll show you what happens after it's done.

167

This is the file structure that it created for us.

168

So let's go over here.

169

And this was the messy download folder.

170

Let me go back into it.

171

And now it's nicely organized and things are renamed with the dates.

172

but it kept every single file I had in that folder.

173

It just restructured it in the way I wanted it organized.

174

And if you look right here, This is the folder structure and it looks exactly that way on my own computer.

175

Now for the next use case, I'll show you how it actually works with PDFs, because a lot of times we need to extract information like we did with the receipts, but we need to do it with PDFs.

176

I have a lot of PDFs invoices, for example, here, and I ask it to pull the invoice number, the dates and so on.

177

OK, so we got ourselves another spreadsheet here, and this time it extracted from PDFs turning invoices into a

178

spreadsheet something a lot of us still have to do to this day manually

179

again this did it in just a couple of minutes Okay, let's go to the next stage of this, which goes well beyond what I'm showing you so far, because this becomes a super app.

180

when you actually start using these things called plugins and then something called skills plugins

181

connect your ChatGPT codecs

182

into all the different apps you already use you just got

183

to give it permission typically one app at a time

184

if any of them show up right here as added that's

185

because your chat gpt account already had access now codecs get access by default here.

186

And you'll see some things like computer use.

187

This can control your computer's apps with Codex.

188

You'll see Chrome.

189

This could control Chrome with Codex and browse the web.

190

You'll have to give it individual access to some of these.

191

Now, Gmail, obviously, calendar, your entire Google Drive.

192

Those are some of my favorite ways to give it access.

193

But again, remember you are given it access to go read, write, and sometimes delete files on the things you're given it access to.

194

So definitely be careful, be very elaborate with your prompt to give a very specific details

195

so you don't burn through credits very quickly.

196

But the Gmail app, for example, in order to add an app, I uninstalled this one, but you just have to press add right here.

197

This will install the plugin or the connector.

198

I'm on a business plan.

199

That's why it says approved by your admin here.

200

So if you're in a business plan, you may You may need to get permission, but on a plus plan, it should be done by default.

201

This is something I've been using AI for for quite a while.

202

So all you have to do is type in the "advention" sign, and you could bring individual plugins like this, or individual apps like this.

203

In this case, I'm going to bring in that plugin right here, and I just ask it to look through my inbox.

204

I give it access to my Google account that is associated with this business here,

205

And I'm going to reduce this to high.

206

Typically that should be fine for this one.

207

And by the way, I forgot to switch projects.

208

So if you don't switch projects, it creates it within the other project.

209

In this case, it doesn't matter all that much, but you could always go to the chat option.

210

and start a chat from here if you don't need it to be inside of a projects.

211

And in this case, it gave it to me right inside of chat because I asked it for a table, but I didn't say give me a table in an Excel document.

212

So you could actually use this like you would use ChatGPT and not always create things.

213

That also reduces your credit usage.

214

In this case, I just wanted to quickly glance through that and this is what I ended up getting, which is perfectly fine.

215

I don't actually need to create a document from it.

216

Now let me show you something called skills.

217

One of my favorite ways to actually use any AI tool.

218

If you also use Claude, you might have come across skills before.

219

But if I go to plugins and let's say I want to create PowerPoint presentations, right?

220

One of the things you'll see is the plugins.

221

But the other thing you'll see is called skills.

222

Let me just click on this one to show you what it does.

223

What skills are, are basically recipes.

224

You are saving the recipe.

225

So ChatGPT or Claude or any other AI tool that uses skills could refer back to it.

226

This is enabled by default right here.

227

I could always disable a skill and I could always open it to read it.

228

- Okay.

229

The skill is this set of instructions for how a presentation should be created.

230

As you could see, they are usually super elaborate.

231

Well, most likely no one sat down and wrote this skill word by word.

232

The best way to create it is by actually having a back and forth conversation with ChatGPT

233

And then when you get to a point where you really love the output, Say save that as a skill and it will save that as a skill.

234

So inside of a new chat

235

if I type in slash you'll see I could bring in

236

ton of different things inside of a my chat here inside of Codex.

237

Skill will be on the bottom and there's a ton of different skills already available in my account.

238

A lot of them I've actually created myself, a lot of them come from my chat shipping account, but you could bring any of them into chat.

239

Now a lot of them are enabled, so if it needs to use it, most likely it will.

240

But if I specifically wanted to bring in a presentation and use that skill, especially if I made one myself, that's how you bring a skill into chat.

241

And then your prompt will be to create a presentation

242

and then it will follow every set of instruction that skill document has.

243

I'm working on a very detailed skills video because inside of Claude is very relevant inside of Codex is very relevant.

244

inside of pretty much every AI tool is becoming more and more relevant.

245

AI agents use skills that you could custom create.

246

So I'll get into that a little bit later, but just wanted to show you, that's how easy it is to create skills and to bring them inside of a chat conversation.

247

Now one of the best parts of codecs is, remember, it could do knowledge work.

248

It could also do coding.

249

It could also generate images, right?

250

ChatGPT has right now the very best model when it comes to generating images.

251

I could type in a prompt like, "Create three product photos someone wearing a custom knitted sweater in a professional studio." I wanted in PNG format.

252

And it created those three images for us and it saved it to our download folder here.

253

So that's the three that I could use.

254

And then I could then, with a follow up prompt, ask it to maybe put that in a thumbnail for me or create some kind of design or a sale for me.

255

here for an add -on running, for example.

256

So remember you are inside of a chat bot, so you can actually have a follow -up to keep building on this, which I haven't really shown you.

257

I've shown you one -off tasks where you send a prompt, you get an output, but you could just continue this conversation till you get exactly what you want and reiterate,

258

which is especially useful with an AI image model that's also an AI agent inside of Codex.

259

Next, let me show you one of the best parts of using Codex, which is something called computer use.

260

That's when Codex is codecs could actually take over your screen move your mouse around, click on things, and even type for you and use the apps on your computer.

261

And you could also do this with the browser.

262

So if you didn't turn it on already, you just have to go to plugins, and you have to turn on computer use, and I usually turn on the Chrome use with that too.

263

So this controls Chrome, so it could open up browser, on your computer and do things for you.

264

Let me go back to this previous chat here, and I'll type out this prompt.

265

And you could type in the "add mention" sign and bring in computer use like this.

266

You could choose this plug -in here.

267

and my prompt is going to be to open Canva, start a new presentation, and put each of the images we just made into their own slide as a follow -up conversation here.

268

and I'll send this out.

269

So you'll see something like this.

270

In the case where Canva is not installed on my computer and needs the browser, it will go use the browser, but it did first check if I have that app installed.

271

So if I had Photoshop, for example, it will try to do something in Photoshop, which I haven't had

272

a lot of luck with

273

but in this case it gave me something elevated risk i lot codecs to use google chrome

274

so i will allow it access now at this point i'm hands off it actually opened a new tab

275

It went to the Canva website here, and from this point, it'll do everything on its own.

276

Now, computer use right now and the browser use right now is pretty slow, so I don't really find it as useful.

277

It's an option that just keeps getting better and better.

278

It's been around for some times with different parts of ChatGPT, but this is still a little bit gimmicky.

279

I'll let this finish up here.

280

I'll show you the results in a bit.

281

Okay, it finally finished the three slide presentation, it opened Canva, it imported the images, it created this slideshow here, and obviously I could take it from there.

282

But for the amount of credits you use here, and for how slow it is, I don't find it very practical.

283

but it's really impressive the first time you see it at work.

284

And I think this is going to be the future of AI.

285

It's just not quite there yet.

286

Next, I want to show you automations, which is probably one of the best parts of Codex, where it could do things on a schedule so you could let it go to work while you're sleeping.

287

Some of the really popular ones are this daily brief, a weekly review, a project monitor.

288

So I'll just show you this one as an example.

289

So this sets up an automation that gives a morning brief each day,

290

what emails I haven't read yet and anything that needs my attention.

291

Now this one, you really want to give it access to a lot of different connectors.

292

if you're comfortable with that, because these automations don't really work well, if they don't have context from your actual You want to give it information that is relevant to you.

293

Now, automations, I'm working on an entirely separate video.

294

So I'll make that as a part two with some other things that I'm saying for a part two.

295

This one, I wanted to still keep it relatively short, but definitely check out the automations tab.

296

And if you go to view templates, you'll see a whole lot more of them over here.

297

And then in my follow up video, I'll show you these in action.

298

Next, I want to briefly show you the coding ability.

299

This is after all called Codex and it's one of the best coding tools.

300

AI tools available right now.

301

So there's a couple of different options.

302

You could build sites with something to have sites.

303

You could create new site and it will build a site with basically that site skill.

304

Or you could just type in a prompt here to build you real working apps here.

305

And these could run actually on your computer too, and you could publish them with more advanced settings.

306

So if I type in a prompt like this to create a modern professional website for a video production company, and give it a little bit more context,

307

I could go ahead and send this out and this will go ahead and create that website for me.

308

Now while our website is getting built, I want to show you this slash command if you just type in slash on your keyboard.

309

These different options that I showed you a few of are really useful.

310

One of my favorite ones is this personality option where you could change the personality on how this responds to you.

311

You could also build skills and bring in those skills to change the tone and the personality of Codex.

312

The other one that's really useful is this option right here called pets.

313

So if you bring in the pets, it will just create this little pet in the corner

314

that shows you everything that you got going on to notify you when a task is done.

315

So while I'm building this website, for example, you can see this is going to work and then the pet will notify me.

316

So this is something I would turn on if you are going to create things, especially mini apps or entire websites here.

317

Just have the pet so then you could do other things, use codecs with a new chat.

318

And then the pet will remind you here with this little check mark when something is ready.

319

Okay, after a bit of time, he created a website and he also gave me the link.

320

Let me show you this link right here.

321

And this is the website that it created for us.

322

Now, I didn't give it a lot of context.

323

I didn't give it a business name, but just to kind of show you the style of it, this background image.

324

It looks very, very professional.

325

I obviously wanna give a YouTube links or Vimeo links here to replay some of these videos here.

326

but overall a really fantastic looking web page with multiple different links to different sections of it that I asked for.

327

By the way, if you go to the settings section right here, you could look at your usage remaining.

328

So you usually get a usage for every five hour block and you also have a weekly.

329

But you also typically have a reset option, depending on what plan you have, that will reset both your five hour limit and your weekly limit.

330

But you only get a couple of these typically.

331

But I did use that reset to actually make this website.

332

with our business plan and some of the other prompts that I showed you throughout this video, it did require one reset.

333

Now for part two, I'm going to get more advanced where we cover more things related to plugins and automations,

334

and some more coding example to show you the coding possibility that you have with Codex.

335

Again, make sure you grab that free guide that I linked below in the description that I created with my team, on exactly how to get the most out of Codex with prompts included.

336

And if you haven't checked out the video I made on Claude Code, I'll put that video over here.

337

It's similar to Codex for coding.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
