This NEW AI Agent Creation Platform Will Blow Your Mind! BYE GPTS...

in this video we're exploring a groundbreaking new AI platform that no one is talking about meet zapia Central the next big thing in AI automation while recently all of the buzz has been about custom gpts zapia has been silently working away on their answer to open ai's agents and an answer that could mean trouble for the entire gpt's ecosystem but could zapia Central really be the future of how businesses adopt AI or is it just another stale automation platform that struggles to create real value for its users and more importantly if it's is any good how can you use it to boost your business or the businesses of your clients with AI well after diving into zapia Central over the past few days I have discovered that the zapia team is definitely onto something here so in this video I'll be breaking down what zapia central is and what makes it a potentially better alternative to open AIG gbts in many use cases then I'll be whooping up some live builds for you to demo some of these super simple yet stupidly powerful use cases that anyone can create on zapia Central and finally I'll be sharing with you how you can become one of the first experts on this new platform to boost both your business your client's businesses all regardless of your skill level if you're new to the channel and don't know who I am my name is Liam otley I run my own AI development company called morning site Ai and I also run the largest community of AI agency owners in the world but I teach people how to make money by selling AI solutions to businesses just like the agents and automations you can create on zapia Central let's get into it first things first what is zapia Central well here on this site for Central they say that you're able to work hand inand with AI Bots the easiest way way I found to explain it is a mixture between gpts where you're able to interact with a conversational assistant or an agent and tell it what to do and then it can call Custom actions and and use knowledge Etc so you've got the knowledge you've got the actions you've got the prompting usual GPT stuff that we've talked about on this channel quite a lot but what zappy has done is a very interesting aspect of also including some of the sort of autonomous Automation and workflow automation steps that they've done on the platform prior so it's a unique combination of gpts mixed with a centralization of all of your zaps for a particular function if that doesn't make sense don't worry it was difficult for me to WRA my head around this initially but give me a few minutes and once we get into the demos it's going to make a lot more sense scrolling down here a bit the vision that they have for Central is the next step towards evolving automation for the AI AG Central puts you in the driver's seat to automate even more work with the help of our friendly AI Bots what central really is is a conversational layer that allows you to utilize all of the thousands and millions of possibilities that you can create with zap GE zaps and the Integrations they have with over 6,000 different apps so extremely exciting stuff here's a little bit of a demo you can connect live data so it's similar to knowledge for your gpts as you can see here add a data source there's Google Sheets as an option there's Google Docs and there's also notion the interesting thing about this that you're going to see in a second is that it is actually Dynamic so whatever the Google sheet is updated you're then going to have access to that updated data which is something we haven't really seen which is knowledge bases thata Dynamic and regularly updated to be update with the latest information live data is one part then we have the instructions or the prompting as we see here when they open this up there's an instructions tab which instructs your Bot on how to use the knowledge and also how to use the actions and finally they have what's called behaviors which are best understood as actions for custom gpts or tooling Etc this of course is directly integrated with all of zapia thousands of Integrations as you may have noticed these are the same three ingredients that I've been banging on about for the past couple of months and that if you can figure out this AI agent skill set which right now is knowing how to prompt knowing how to add data and knowing how to connect these tools the you're able to build AI agents on basically any of these platforms because it's the same skill set so I hope you've been paying attention and I hope you built up these skills of knowing how to prompt knowing how to connect different actions because it's the same process here tying all of these three aspects together into these AI agents that you can use internally in a business the biggest Advantage for zapia Central over gpts in my opinion especially for beginners is that there is no code included at all you don't have to add in these tools separately don't have to use a schema I'm sure if you've tried to get zap your actions to be put as custom actions for your gpts you'll know just how difficult that process can be so for this there is no code involved at all all you need to do is go on as it shows here click on create new Behavior give it some instructions set up a trigger and then set up what it's supposed to do and you're able to create these awesome powerful custom actions without ever having to write any code at all so down here they've got a little bit more stuff I think this allinone AI workspace is really the the key Point here is that it Con centralize all of your automations and AI features that you use throughout the business into one Hub which I guess is why they called it zapia central it's pretty pretty fitting title query data we been over that follow up these are the kind of backend automations you can set up that you'll see in a second Etc that hasn't got you excited about building a zapia central then the next section where we're going to jump into some live demos of building OD zappi Central will do the job so I can click on try Central today of course you need a zap your account for this once we're ENT Central we have this familiar kind of chat gbts interface and it immediately gives us a new Untitled bot and it tells us okay we can add behaviors we can add data sources a good starting point for us I think would be to show some of the live data and being able to chat to uh spreadsheets and and CSV data so if I add a data source go to a Google sheet it's connected by my email to all of my Google Sheets so super easy to do that now I've got this Sample Sales data that I've got off kaggle just to show you how even large data sets can be used and we can query our data sets to get some interesting insights to give you a quick look at the data uh there's a ton of stuff here there's the sales there's the quantity of orders there's the date most interestingly which I want to do a little bit of analysis over so see there's a lot of 2003 2004 dates let's give it a bit of a tricky question to analyze that information so I go uh can you get the sales by month for 2003 include a number of units sold and the total value month by month and what it's doing here similar to chat GPT is that it has its own code interpreter so as you can see it's actually converted the spreadsheet into a database and it's writing a database query on this uh this is some really impressive stuff and it's being kind of a fantasy for a long time of being able to convert a spreadsheet into a database and now we're writing SQL queries going from text to SQL I'm sorry I'm getting a little bit nerdy here but it is very impressive what they've been able to do here with converting it to a database and now we can query the database and get some really powerful insights so here you can see the output of the data retrieved and then it's using that data to write the answer so here we can see uh the data for 2003 month by month unit sold and total sales value so very very cool stuff already now can say can you compare that month by month 2 2004 EEG Jan 2003 this jan4 now this capability alone to set for a business being able to chat to their spreadsheets in a way that's very Dynamic and can pull in literally Dynamic data as it gets added to the spreadsheet is an awesome new use case and I really recommend you guys jump in and have a play around with this because this is something that businesses have been wanting to do for a long time and having it put on a PL like this for us is some awesome news for beginners and Pros alike and here we can see again it's written a query for the database it's created for our spreadsheet it's done it perfectly it's comparing the 2003 values month by month with the 2004 value so Dynamic spree cheet datas added as a knowledge base is so much better than the knowledge bases we have for gpts I'm sure you have tried to put a CSV data or tried to put some spreadsheet data as a knowledge document for your gpts and it's just absolutely terrible at at using that data because it doesn't have a system setup like this to be able to create a database out of it and then query the database and use that intelligently in the answer that's how we can chat to spreadsheets with Dynamic data which is cool enough and then we have the typical chat to documents in the same way that you'd uploaded a document to a knowledge base but again it's going to be dynamic so if I go to Google Docs and I select a Google doc here if I go maybe the support documentation for ailm would be a pretty good one for this because if I update the support documentation I don't have to go in and redownload it and re-upload it into my agent it's just going to automatically do that so I can get my team to go in there modify the support documentation it's necessary add new question and answers and FAQs and it's going to automatically be pulled through to zapia central here interestingly this brings us to some of the quirks of this platform and its current form as you can see here I've uploaded the information I've said how do I change my ail and password which is included in the support documentation just in order to change your password however it's not developed by zapia and it just starts making it up based off its existing training date this standard chat interface is not very useful in many ways and in order to get it to do the things you want to do in many cases you'll have to go create behavior and say answer questions from the K Liam for document provided then if I go to trigger and go when I message the bot add the trigger turn that on and now if I go I for to my AI password finally after a pretty long wait I can click onto this thread and see that it has gone through and Ed the code block to select the document first of all and then to answer the question from the information in the document it doesn't quite work how you'd expect it in these simple use cases but I believe from my plan around this is set up this way so that if when you have tons and tons of documents like 20 or 30 of them included this system of using a a look up and and looking up in the database to find the specific documentation file that you're looking for or the the the knowledge based document You' provided it's going to actually look that up first and then put it into this thread so when the actions are performed this is the interesting part where you combined a regular GPT Style with I think what Zapp is trying to do which is this threading style and so now I can conversate back and forth within this thread and ask questions about my document and I'm going to get the answers in there for dynamic knowledge bases you can also connect notion here I have had some issues with getting it to answer correctly so I think there might be a few bugs um but I'm sure they'll buff those out in no time here I've made a bot called my notion resistant and what I want to do is set up some behavior in this create a behavior instructions are a good place to start so I could say create a new notion page when I say create a new notion page ask me for the content for the page but come up with a page title yourself that represents the content appropriately and so now usually you'll be getting suggestions here I'm not sure why it's not suggesting me this can be a little bit confusing but just stick with me here so when I message the bot is the trigger then I want to use my phrase here oh which was create a new notion page so I can provide a specific keyword or phrase that I want to trigger this action create a new notion page I want to add that as a trigger and then I want to create a new page so here's my suggestions here that's nice the parent page have the AI select this so this is really the magic of of zapy central which you'll see a bit more on a bit but we have the title I want the AI to generate the field for the value and I also want it to cover with the content based off my input so that's all set up I can test the Behavior now it's going to open up a thread here to proceed with creating a notion page I need to know what content you'd like to include in the page here you can see it's triggered this is the test trigger that it's just inserted the phrase that I've included in the setup let's jump back to my spreadsheet chat one and I want to put this data into a new notion page see if it copies across okay so I to go back into the thread here oh let's see how it goes with that we got a little bit of a bug here where it didn't actually send me a reply normally it will send back the link to the notion page itself uh but I followed up and it seems like it's already created it so sure enough over on my notion it has created this it's given the title itself that it's generated based off the content and I've got an ocean page so maybe it was because it was in the testing environment if I tried again create a new noce page try it again without the testing environment now it's going to pick it up create another thread and see it started talking about some some random stuff here that's because I didn't come here and switch the action on that's my bad apologies and if I want to call this again and try to get it to properly create the notion page create a new thread for me hello seems to be bugging out here let me refresh the page Maybe little modification here I've just changed it to say trigger when I say create a new notion page so if I go create a new notion page there we go so make sure in this you use trigger it seems to be the keyword that gets it to work well so trigger when I say create a new notion page now it's going to be asking me in the thread for the content I want to include let's grab the sales data again head back to notion assistant go on to our thread and paste it in it should give me the confirmation message that it's created the page successfully propose page title now it's going to create the notion page please hold on for a moment and it's performing the action as expected there we go if we drop this down it has included all the information that it used to create it and it provides us a link to the report here so if I click on this can open up my ocean and there we have it strange thing is that it's kind of just putting it anywhere I think if I go in here it's down here and this one is inside the the other one I just did so back here if we look at the notion create page I can't even modify what the parent page is here so it's not perfect by any means but it does show you that this is a GPT style experience with these thread mechanics that allow you to set up certain behaviors to happen Upon A Certain phrase being sent this particular human in the loop style interaction with the assistants is not all zap Central does it's intended to combine both the GPT style where you are interacting with your agent with your typical background workflow automations that you set up on zapia which might be triggered by some action like a slack message or a Google sheet row added in so here's an example I've been working on just having a play around scratching my own itch with this stuff is a school control Center I have my free school community and I thought why to try to create some kind of central hub for managing it and put zapu Central to the test so I have a uh a link to a spreadsheet that is synced 8 minutes ago so it's actively resyncing the data so I'm always able to ask questions about my school Community but more interestingly is I've been able to set up some Behavior where when someone tries to join my school Community a new robot added to the spreadsheet that it's watching and that is the trigger no longer am I having to ask a message to my assistant to trigger it it's able to use a traditional zapia trigger and then I'm getting it to send an action after that which is to send a direct message and the magic of zapia central is that the AI itself as I said is a layer on top that can connect all of these things so the instructions here will tell the AI how to autofill the rows so as you can see here for message text I need to generate some kind of message that I want to send to myself on slack but what I'm telling it bya instructions is when a new row is created send a slack message to me that is a one- sentence summary of the new members details if I go over to my slack here you'll see that zapia has been sending me messages and these one sentence summary obviously I'm going to have to blur these out but I promise you that there are one sentence summaries as I told it to over on zapia centroids triggering the automation based on a row being added and then it's using the AI in the instruction to determine how it fills out the rest of it so it's like this magical glue that can stick your automations without having to get this direct lining up and matching up of the inputs from one to another and as I said this combines the conversational aspect that we're used to with gbts with these kind of background and autonomous automations so if I go to while I was away we had 17 runs now I get to see everything that's been happening in the background of my school Community while I've been asleep while I've been away I can keep tabs on all of the automations that are firing I can set up new ones another cool thing you can do is go to create Behavior I can set a trigger to schedule so if I want to schedule something that I want done every week which might be to look at all of the spreadsheet RADS that have come in and all the new members that have tried to join and do some analysis and then send the analysis via email to whoever or to send it in here there's so much cool stuff that can be done now they we'll be able to combine both the human and the loop aspect of AI agents and talking to them and telling them what to do with these backend and and background automations that's really the magic of what zapia has done here with Central and I'm a big fan there are a few limitations that the platform suffering from I think the conversational aspect of pulling in context from the threads and answering questions correctly I think there's still a lot of work to be done there it is quite slow I've had to obviously cut it out for this video but some days I've been sitting here for 30 seconds or more waiting for it to to trigger in action or something like that there's definitely room for improvement on the speed side but this is quite clearly intended to be an internal use kind of platform and tool for managing your systems managing your operations managing the different departments and centralizing like the school example so centralizing everything to do with my free community all the automations all the reporting all the questions I want to have over the data I have really really cool way of centralizing things it's not so much as we've been familiar with with other agents of maybe creating a GPT and deploying it somewhere putting it out on an Instagram Channel or putting it on WhatsApp and things like this because it doesn't have to be interacting with customers I think the speed can kind of be forgiven if you're using it internally for now so not tearable but could definitely be better and one thing that would make this a lot more powerful is being able to visualize the data it's currently not able to like chat gbt use the code interpreter to generate a graph and so when I was looking at the data I would have lik to see the 2003 line against the 2004 line it's a lot more easy to understand and do data analysis when you can actually visualize it as well so I'm sure they've got that on the road map but it doesn't have that right now now that we know there zapia Central has got some pretty cool stuff going on the question is where does it fit into the the AI automation landscape how can we adopt it how can we include it in our own businesses how can we use it and sell it to our clients to me I think zapia central is going to play a key role in the space in a number of ways firstly it is completely remove the need to code in order to create these AI agents we used to have that integration step up okay have a a custom action or have an API that I want to put onto my GPT as a custom tool or a custom action and there was this ugly open API scheme thing that beginners had to do that wasn't very bitor friendly in many ways what zapia centralist enabled us to do is to directly hook into all of zapia apps and and the actions and triggers that you can use seamlessly no code not a single line of code has been written this could really be the democratization of AI agents in many ways that now people can come in without any coding background and they can start to build these things either for their own businesses or sell building them as a service to other people as well and when you factor in that zapia is making major moves on things like zapia tables for storing data they have zapier interfaces they have zap canvas as well their ecosystem is growing at a rapid rate and this means if you are someone who's looking to get into AI or building these kind of automation systems and beginning to make money by by making businesses better with them zapia may be a interesting opportunity for you to focus on just one ecosystem there is so much available in this AI space right now if you're an AI agency or you're a freelancer just picking one platform like zapia and saying look they've got so much stuff I'm just going to specialize in that that could be a great place to start especially if you're a beginner and you want to utilize no code tools as as much as possible so if what you've seen today seems interesting at all I highly recommend you go on to zap PA Central and check it out try to build just one thing and the best way to learn this at least in my experience is to scratch your own itch try to build something that's handy for you in your own life or for a friend or for your parents or something just try to find a a use case that you can apply this tool to help make your life better and that aha moment might just be the thread that you end up pulling to a particular career in this AI autovation space I'm super excited to see what kind of stuff you guys are building on zapia Central and being out of find better use case than I have so far so what I'm going to do is on my free school Community if you're not already a member there will be a link to join in the description I'm going to make a post related to this video that is on the topic of zapia Central and if you want to head over there we're going to be talking and going deep on all the cool features and use cases that we're able to create with it my free school Community is kind of the hub for AI automation agencies and you being able to identify Solutions and and really be around other people who are interested in making the most of this AI opportunity so that sounds interesting you can join the school in the description below excited to see what you guys can build with this if you're exced deed to get stuck into zapy essential and have got something out of this video please hit down below and leave a like on it um really supports me to continue making fre videos like this and of course if you want to stay up to date regarding future updates on zapia Central how to build gpts and other tips and tricks that I'm finding for you to make money and build businesses in the AI space be sure to subscribe while you're down there so that you don't miss any of my future videos if you're interested in learning how to start an AI business in 2024 I've just released a full guide an hour and a half long that I highly recommend you watching
