There's a way to tune your Claude code so you get Thank you so much.
Enjoy the episode.
Let me know if you think this is cool and I'll see you in there.
I feel like I'm in.
I know I'm in for a treat.
Matt Van Horn is on the podcast and he's going to demo something very special.
Matt, by the end of this episode, what are people going to learn?
They will have a new superpower in cloud code.
It's called slash last 30 days.
And it's going to for any topic you could possibly imagine, from best prompting techniques for a particular tool to how should I use cloud bot, to what are the greatest rap songs right now?
It's going to search X Twitter in the web for only things that have happened in the last 30 days and give you a great result and help you be expert.
My smartest friends are using this right now, so I had to ask Matt to come on and showcase how to use this.
So thank you, Matt.
I say we just get right into it.
All right.
YOLO.
Let's go.
I can just dive in.
So we are in Cloud Code.
And so this is a skill for Cloud Code.
And so once you install it, You just type in last 30 days.
So research any topic from the last 30 days.
So it can be anything.
So let's say I want, let's kick one off right here.
Most popular rap songs.
So let's kick that one off.
And then I'll show some pre-can ones that I've done.
So using the last 30 day school, let's research the most popular rap songs.
Let me research the popular rap songs from the last 30 days.
And so right here it's Reddit reading what Redditors are saying, X reading the timeline, and then it's also running a web search.
So is the thinking, is the reason why you created this, is there's so much good data on the internet and you want to use that as the jumping off point.
Is that why?
Yeah.
The reason that I built this tool is I feel like everything is moving so quickly in AI.
And it's nearly impossible to keep up with the conversation on X, on Reddit, on GitHub.
And I wanted a tool that gives you superpowers to be able to just become expert on any topic based on what's happening on reddit x and the web very, very quickly, because the prompts are changing so quickly.
What's happening like look at, you know molt bot, what's happened there?
It's changing so quickly and so being able to just become expert at something, it kind of reminds me in the matrix when he gets plugged in and it's like I know Kung Fu right.
So to be able to do that for any topic very, very quickly is why I built this.
And honestly, so I could use it for myself.
Looks like our rap research.
So I found one Reddit thread, 19 expos, and the most popular rap songs right now.
So it kind of dug in and into hip hop heads some expos billboard data, some Spotify data.
Hip hop heads, hip hop all day rap complex and created this, this reply.
So someone in the comment section is going to be like well, I could have used perplexity or chat to do that.
Why should I use this?
Yeah.
So you absolutely could, but it's uh, and again I'm I'm not fully up to date on which which tools have what access, but to set up last 30 days.
So you need cloud code, right?
So you're already paying for cloud code, right?
So you need that account.
You need a open AI key because open AI has a deal with Reddit.
That gives you that Reddit access.
Uh, I'm actually looking into Reddit API keys if that's an option to make the product better.
That's one of the things, my weekend projects.
And then the third is you can't search X using your X account.
You have to use an XAI key.
And so last 30 days pulls in all these API keys and pulls it all together, if that makes sense.
So this is one. that I did right before we started.
So I said last 30 days highest performing cold email frameworks for ICP output three email variance subject line
So it went on X, went on Twitter, found Reddit threads, X posts, web pages.
And what's interesting how I use this tool is I often don't even read what it says.
Like.
Sure, it's interesting to see what it learned, but mostly I just want it to write a good email.
So I said, can you write me some cold emails for getting on Greg Eisenberg's podcast?
Sorry, I spelled your name wrong.
Good target startup ideas later is all about unconventional startup, is community building and found unique relevance.
What's your angle?
What's your credibility signal?
Any connection points to Greg mutual follows what timely.
Talk about AI tools I'm working on, and I once made a smart oven.
Smart oven details, gold, unexpected founders who shipped hardware and software.
That's your hook.
Here are three email variants.
Subject, smart oven AI tools, not the path.
Greg went from building smart oven to building AI tools.
That might sound weird until you hear it.
Turns out the hardest part of hardware.
Taught me exactly what's broken and how people interact with AI.
I'm building the fix.
Katrina, what does smart oven taught me about AI?
So anyway, I literally did nothing here.
I barely gave it any context and it had become expert in different cold emailing concepts.
The three P's framework, praise, picture, push, ADA, attention.
I've never read any of these in my life.
Intention-based data trigger framework.
And then it just did it for me, if that makes sense, without even me having to read the research.
Yeah, I think what's really cool about this is These frameworks.
Ada's been around forever, like OG, David Ogilvie days, but other than the other ones, it feels like those are timely frameworks.
I'm reading these emails and I get a lot of cold email, and these are actually ones that would break through the noise.
That's what's really cool about this. and I didn't even give it much effort.
I literally said, I'm a former smart oven entrepreneur.
You couldn't have given it like less context and it did.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then another one I just tried last three days, how to get X followers.
I researched people are actually saying, um, and, um, What I learned?
Reply is the number one growth strategy.
Multiple X power users, all credit, becoming a reply guy as the fastest path to growth.
It shows 30 to 80 thoughtful replies daily.
Engage with 40 of us before posting.
Find larger accounts.
Reply first consistently.
Post at least one X a day, five days a week.
Reddit threads, X threads, Instagram marketing, Facebook ads, and share your vision.
What's your account and what's up with followers?
I am Van Horn, and I made an AI tool for Claude Code.
I don't know what it's going to do now.
That's the exciting part.
Let's spin off another last 30 days window.
Sorry for all the windows.
So last 30 days of research.
Cloud bot so I can build an enterprise competitor to make money and not give it away for free.
Maybe I'm giving too much context, but I should have just said research cloud bot.
Actually, I'm going to do that.
I mean, what do you recommend when you're you know?
Is it shorter prompts, medium prompts, long prompts, like getting the most out of it?
I think it's kind of you prime the engine by first doing just research CloudBot top use cases.
So what my vision for this thread of what we're going to do is?
It's going to learn about CloudBot, right.
Check X, check Reddit.
And then what I'm going to do is actually load one of my favorite tools, compound engineering.
Shout out to Kevin Rose for introducing me to it.
And compound engineering is when I'm starting a new project is where I do my planning.
And so what I want to do here is take this research on from last 30 days from cloud bot and use that as the starting point to kick off a enterprise version of cloud bot and to build it.
So let's, let's let this run and see how our other stuff is going.
All right.
I'm in AI tool for cloud code.
AI tools are hot right now.
Here's a growth playbook for you.
Morning.
40 minutes for your first post.
Reply to Ted from Anthropic.
Alex Albert, Birch Labs.
Cloud power users.
Add genuine value.
Share a tip.
Ask a smart question.
Content type.
Tool demo.
Build X today.
What it does.
Cloud code tip.
Five things I learned X. Build in public.
Shit, by the way, I'm not going to do this.
I think this was just...
I actually asked ChatGPT for suggestions of what I should demo on your show, and it gave me this one.
But quickest wins.
Pin your best demo tweet.
Show the tool in action.
Buy a formula. iBuild tool.
One line logo.
Shipping AI tools for cloud code.
That's not bad.
No, it's not bad.
So let's close this one out.
All right, we got cloud code best used overnight coding agent management.
Daily briefings in the morning.
Do you want to dive deeper?
Okay, so now I'm going to call in another tool.
Let's throw in workflows plan.
Take the context above about cloud bot and...
Suppose an enterprise version that could make a lot of money.
Just do that.
Keep it simple.
This is interesting.
You're taking an open source trend and you're like, how can I build a product that gets me paid?
It's interesting, because there's so many trends that are happening right now on X that as like a data source and read it as a data source, that you know if this, if this is actually good, it's going to help give you ideas and sort of eventually, a PRD right.
Yep.
Anyway, so it's still making our plan.
It's researching still doing an analysis.
So we'll, we'll, we'll see where that adds up.
But anyway, do you want, do you want to try a last 30 day prompt?
I'm curious.
You're seeing all these prompts.
The people that listen to this show, these are founders, solopreneurs, people building businesses.
They're always looking for unfair advantages.
What sort of prompt would you suggest that type of person, someone who wants to build a business?
Is it competitive research?
Is it What are some ideas you have?
Good question.
I think it's very good for competitive research.
I think it's very good for looking at hot topics.
I think we could probably do something like... Let's try it for your... your web design idea, right?
You kind of described poke.com, which I missed, right?
So what web page designs are getting the most love right now?
Yeah, because that's interesting because, if we you know, knowing the trend is just so important and it also helps, like give people When I'm designing something, it helps give me ideas.
It's so overwhelming sometimes when you have a blank page and you don't know where to start.
Yep, totally.
The thing that inspired this tool was I used to.
Before I would jump into any type of vibe coding session, I would go on chat.
GPT 52.
And I would just say in thinking mode and be like, go, uh, this was for design.
I would say, go on Reddit and research Nana banana pro best, best, uh, prompting techniques.
And I would do that at the beginning and then I wouldn't even read what it would say.
And then I would just be like, OK, give me a prompt.
And so it's kind of this like hack of learning Kung Fu learning the prompts that everyone's using without actually needing to read about it, if that makes sense.
You kind of just like OK, let's just trust the the, the mind crowd the, the world that's out there, and and use those best practices.
All right, we've got a plan.
I guess let's open the plan in BBEdit.
All right.
So this is the plan for the audio listeners.
So this is the plan for the Molpot.
Molpot Enterprise Commercial SaaS Platform.
So again, this is not a business plan.
This is actually a plan to how to build the software architecture and i could just then tell compound engineering to just go build it.
So transform molt bot from the cloud into an open source a person to a multi-tenant enterprise sas platform called molt broad enterprise or clod cloud.
This capitalizes on the viral growth.
Github stars, b2b adoption, enterprise ai assistance are 30 blah blah, blah.
Why enterprise can't use multibot today no multitesting, no RBA security vulnerabilities, no audit logging.
There was Movevice required by ServiceNow for market validation.
Proposed solution of fully managed enterprise-grade multibot commercial.
I really don't like the name Cloud Cloud.
Come on, come on.
LLM cloud architecture.
Slack webhook Discord gateway teamhooks, message reader.
Core technical components.
And so kind of it used last 30 days as the basis for its expertise to learn about Maltbot.
And then it did the rest.
And now I could just say, okay, build it.
Dude, that's crazy.
It also, that was a pretty, that was pretty dialed.
Like that was pretty dialed.
I'm impressed.
Yeah.
And LLMs do nothing about Cloudbot because it didn't exist before.
It didn't exist until very, very recently.
All right.
Phase one only.
Build a multi-tenant foundation.
Postgres is a full MVP.
I guess let's build a proof of concept.
So basically...
It asked if you wanted to do an MVP.
It asked if you wanted to do a bigger build.
Is that what I saw?
Yeah, exactly.
And so I just said, okay, let's just do the demo.
Type something else.
New repo.
Also, can you please give it a better name?
Greg, you live in this world.
What should we call this thing?
I actually don't hate clod cloud.
It just well.
They got in trouble for using clod exactly, so why not just call molt cloud?
But then we're in trouble with molt um okay, so why don't we call it um, um?
I was gonna say why don't we call it red lobster, but i think that all right.
All right, let's go.
Let's go with lead speak.
That's cool.
This describes a 40-week product survey.
What scope do you want to do?
I don't know.
Just do it.
Why are you asking me so many questions?
What do we ask here?
What web designs are getting the most love right now?
The most loved Shopify winter edition.
Yes.
I remember I saw that one.
That was really awesome.
That was beautiful.
Look, 3000 likes, 320 retweets, the YC landing page.
So what's funny is I saw this, I didn't actually look at it yet, but I saw that it was getting love and hype and, praise for scrappy home of beginning shop, web lending, our like jewelry, craftworks design, all ages reported back Reddit and finding topic to visual for text discussions, but fun.
Uh, what tool do you want to use to create design?
So it's like okay, now that I've researched these things uh, what do you?
What do you want to design in?
All right.
Uh, So it's kind of pushing you to be like, okay, I've now learned this expertise.
Now let's do something with it.
So this could literally pump out a Figma design?
Is that possible?
I haven't spent enough time in Figma in the AI era.
All my Figma time was pre-AI.
So I don't know what prompting Figma even means in 2026.
But I don't know.
I could just say one and see what happens.
Yeah.
Now what are you designing?
All right, now it's diving in.
A portfolio landing page for productivity app is fine.
What are the suggestions?
This is what are you designing?
A SaaS landing page, a portfolio site, an e-commerce homepage for skincare brand agency website hero.
And so I keep coming back to this, but it is impressive how little you're giving like, how short your prompts are.
Here we go.
Here's a prompt for Figma.
Apparently that's a thing.
2026 forward trend design anybody that feels warm and human, not cold sasta.
But layout, anti-grid composition, hero section.
Use asymmetrical balance headline left.
Product screenshots floating right at angle sections will flow organic with varied spacing, not rigid 12 column uniformity typography.
One oversized display headline paired with small body text.
Add a single hand drawn underline or circle accent on the keyword.
Consider variable font like satoshi or general, sans Nature distilled warm cream background.
Charcoal text.
One muted accent.
Avoid harsh, pure white or saturated blues.
Glass morphism element.
Feature card.
I want to see this.
It's too bad I don't have Figma AI set up.
But that was pretty cool.
Let's see if it can do this for like a nano banana prompt.
Like, hey, I wonder if it can do that.
Can you make this a nano banana prompt?
Yep, but I didn't ask it to become an expert in it.
A nano banana.
I didn't ask it to become a nano banana prompt expert, so who knows what's going to happen.
Yeah.
Back to Telegram, and let's see what happens.
We should get three images.
Your malt bot is typing.
That's a cool feeling, like watching your malt bot type.
Someone needs to visualize that with like a lobster on a keyboard.
Why did you choose Telegram over iMessage or Discord or something else?
Because my LLM told me to.
Because I'm on a 4 a month shell account for my.
I don't have the mac mac mini setup and so, um the um, you can't use imessage or whatsapp, i believe.
When you're just on a shell, i think you need to run some sort of mac software, and so telegram seems to be the default where you, when you don't have that, and for people who don't know what a shell account is, can you just expand on that?
Yeah sorry uh, by the way, this is our clodbot competitor that it's building.
I don't know what is going on or what it's building.
It's adding a demo script showing tenant isolation.
Then oh, it already set up typescript and nodejs.
That's nice.
Wow, that's cool.
Here we go.
Oh yeah, not bad.
I bet it'd be nicer in figma.
Yeah, that was pretty solid, And again, that was by using slash last 30 days.
What are the hottest webpage designs that the world is excited about right now?
Like what's trendy?
And then, okay, now use that for my SaaS productivity app.
I like how it like circled random words.
Flow, effortlessly, more.
That's awesome.
Yeah, like it feels like hand-drawn.
It's pretty wild.
It's wild times.
It's the rate at what we're we're able to build things and how fast things change is absolutely wild.
So Matt, this has been fun.
You know, if people want to get started, they want to like.
What advice do you have, you know, in terms of getting the most out of this product?
Yeah.
So one of the things I'll say is I, I am not a software engineer.
I have not shipped anything of value to since high school and I could argue the webpages I was shipping in high school were not of value either.
But at least I could write some basic HTML or some basic scripts.
And so what's amazing is being not a software engineer and being able to go into cloud code.
Like, it seems intimidating.
You're in the terminal.
Setting up a cloud bot seems intimidating and my recommendation for starting out is set up.
Set up cloud code.
It's magical.
Sign up for the twenty dollar account if you'll be on the hundred dollar and the two hundred dollar account probably real soon if you're uh, if you're successful.
Um, and and what i?
What i do is i i keep a chat GPT window open to ask questions to.
And so I'm kind of moving back and forth and posting lots of screenshots to be like there's some error.
I don't know what's going on.
Help me.
And so ChatGPT 5.2 thinking will be like, okay, great.
In your shell, in your terminal, this is what's going on.
This is why it broke.
And I'm like, okay, great.
What do I do?
Help.
And then it's just like, copy this into the terminal.
I'm like, okay.
And I, again, don't even have to read it.
Don't have to overthink it.
And so kind of just like screenshot trial and error back and forth between ChatGPT in my terminal and like i couldn't figure out actually how to post screenshots into my terminal.
So i asked chat gpt and it's like oh, you have to use control v instead of command v.
And then once that that was the biggest unlock for me in the terminal, figuring out that i could post screenshots with control v and anyway.
So i recommend getting into cloud code and and Try last 30 days, obviously because it gives you superpowers.
But use tools like compound engineering, use skills like there's another one called superpowers which is getting a lot of love right now.
And you just kind of enter these plan modes and you try and you build things.
And I had this idea for last 30 days and I've never looked at the code for the skill that I wrote.
Quote unquote
And it was just a lot of trial and error and running more and more terminal windows and testing it and testing it and being like hey, figure out how to get access to this API.
Hey, figure out how I can do this.
Hey, how can my users do this?
And going from there.
I love that, man.
Well, I'll include a link to last 30 days in the show notes in the description link where where you can follow Matt Van Horn on X and dude.
This is really cool and it's crazy that this is just sort of like a project that you started and it's gaining so much traction.
I think people are just obsessed with Cloud Code for good reason, but I think people are just trying to get the most out of it.
So this came at a very perfect time and I can't wait to see how it evolves.
Thanks for doing a little show and tell for us.
Of course.
It was fun being here.
Thank you so much, Craig.
I appreciate it, Matt.
Till next time.
