§ 01 · The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
Samin opens by restating the title verbatim while a screen recording shows Clicky already editing a Descript timeline behind him — proof beats promise. Then he stacks four bait moves in 60 seconds: a personal time-stake ("a week, can''t go back"), a FOMO line ("grab it while it''s free"), an explicit three-level agenda, and an inclusivity guarantee for the zero-technical crowd.
What the video promised.

Where the time goes.
00:00 – 01:06
01 · Cold open + promise stack
Title hook restated, four bait moves, three-level agenda. Firehose + Office Space memes anchor the overwhelm framing.
01:06 – 02:22
02 · Why this matters
Old-way vs new-way wedge. Cloud Code has depth and overhead; for everyday computer tasks the learning barrier itself is the bottleneck. Clicky makes you the director.
02:22 – 04:18
03 · Set up Clicky
clicky.so download, drag-to-Applications, mic permission, accessibility grant (drag the icon in + fingerprint), screen recording permission. Mac-only, lives in menu bar.
04:18 – 05:58
04 · Use case: control Claude
Hold command+option to activate. Asks Clicky where connectors and skills live in the Claude app; Clicky narrates + auto-navigates via cursor takeover.
05:58 – 09:18
05 · Use case: video editing in Descript
Drops an ad-read MP4 from desktop into Descript and asks Clicky to remove false starts, double-takes, pauses. Underlord assistant executes; final cut comes back cleaned.
09:18 – 09:52
06 · Parallel agents
Multiple Clicky tasks pinned to the side rail; he can dispatch and dismiss them like a queue.
09:52 – 11:00
07 · Competitor research PDF
Asks Clicky to research competitors for his BookedinAI site and produce a PDF. Comes back with a voice-AI competitor list.
11:00 – 12:25
08 · Background computer use
Opens Amazon, asks for a steak recipe, has Clicky add the ingredients to his cart while he does other work. Red ping when done.
12:25 – 15:09
09 · Local files → expense dashboard
Receipts on desktop → Clicky organizes into folder, scrapes amounts, spins up a live dashboard app in the browser. Also pushes data to a Google Sheets master file via Google Workspace connector.
15:09 – 16:06
10 · Build an app live
"Build me a meeting recorder that transcribes and saves locally." Clicky scaffolds a working web app on screen — start recording, save, transcribe.
16:06 – 16:28
11 · Track activity across screens
"What do you know about me?" Clicky narrates which Heptabase doc is open on which monitor, that Spotify deep-focus is playing, that he was chatting with Fariza. "This person is exposing my whole life."
16:28 – 17:12
12 · OpenClicky + CTA
GitHub repo OpenClicky lets you bring your own API keys or local model and customize for any industry. Pure next-video CTA at the end.

HOOKopening / re-engagementCTAthe pitchmetaphor
00:00HOOKThis new tool called Clicky just changed how we use computers forever. So Clicky is basically a companion that lives on your screen. It sees everything you see, can click on stuff, and run tasks for you in the background while you're working on something else. I've actually been using this every day for about about a week now, and, honestly, I can't go back to using my computer the old way. Like, I don't even open up Cloud Code for so many things I used to do before, which is exactly why I wanted to make this video. Because, honestly, with so many new AI tools coming out every single week, it's pretty overwhelming, where it feels like if you're not keeping up with it every day, you feel like you're falling behind. And this is the first tool I've actually used that helps ease all of that for normal people. So if you're one of the early ones watching this, you can grab it and abuse it while it's free before everyone else catches on. So in this video, I'm gonna be breaking down how to use Clicky in three levels. First, we're gonna get set up. I'll walk you through downloading it and all the little permission screens that kind of tripped me up the first time so you don't have to deal with any of that. Then we're gonna be going over a couple different use cases that I use it for every day. And in level three, I'm gonna share a little secret on how to basically build your own version of Clicky that you can customize. And even if you've never used an AI tool like this or have zero technical background, you'll be able to follow along because all we're doing is really just talking to our computer.
01:08Okay. So before we get into anything, let me give you a little bit of context on why this actually matters. Like, if I asked you to go edit a video or make a landing page or even just find receipts on your computer and make a graph of how much you spent this month, what would you do? You'd probably first open up YouTube, watch a tutorial, download an app, mess around with it for an hour or so, get frustrated, and only then start doing the thing you wanted in the first place. And that's where most of our time really goes. Not actually doing stuff, just figuring out how to do stuff. And that's what I'm loving about Clicky. It makes your role the director. You can bring it priorities, goals, what's important, and that goes and does the work for you. And, look, I love Cloud Code. It's an insane piece of software, but Cloud Code has depth, and the AI hype cycle does not stop. You gotta understand stuff like connectors, MCP, skills, all this technical overhead, and it's great for a lot of things. But for the everyday stuff most of us actually do on our computers, you don't need any of that. Like, in the community that I run where I help everyday people actually apply AI, the hardest part has always been the barrier to entry. But the moment I show people Clicky, their lives get instantly easier because for the first time, that learning barrier actually disappears. And that to me is the biggest shift in how we've used computers in a long time. So let me show you how to set that up.
02:24Alright. So to get it set up, click I'm gonna go to clicky.so. And clicky.so, you'll see there's this thing following around with me. Right? Okay. Then we wanna make sure we download it. So I'm downloading it for my Mac. Just entering your email and then hit download. Great. So let me open this
02:43and then drag it to your applications.
02:48By the way, this only works on Mac. Okay. So I just got done copying and then I just searched clicky and now I will open it. And then you'll see this thing pop up and clicky kind of lives in your Mac's menu bar. Alright? And you can see right here in this little thing right here. That's where we would click if wanna you get into settings. So right now, let's just sign in with Google.
03:12So right here, if you're curious. Great. So first, it asks you for the permissions. It's actually really easy to go through, so let's go through it. It you wanted to give it microphone access, and then you wanna hit allow. You wanna grant it accessibility so it can go through your computer and control whatever you need to. So right now, if you see this, it just says, I'm clicky. Drag me into the list above. So what you wanna do is you wanna drag it like that,
03:37and then you use your fingerprint. Great. And then right here, it's right now, you see it's on. Alright? Now we wanna let make sure it can record our screen. So let's open our system settings and then do the same thing. And then let's quit and reopen. Awesome. So next, we just hit allow,
03:58and then let's go to meet Clicky. And then you can see it right here. So once you have this blue buddy following you on your cursor, you should have Clicky. And to activate it, all you need to do is just hold command and option. So let's just start something simple. Let's try some small things, and then we'll slowly build up to the cooler use cases. Alright? So I have Claude open right now. And what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna simply say, hey.
04:21How do I access my connectors? Hey, Clicky. How do I access my connectors in this app? I've been hearing about it. Click your name, Samin, at the bottom left, then go to settings, and you'll find connectors in the sidebar.
04:38Okay. And then you see it's right here. So I'm gonna hit connectors, and you can see all your connectors here, and then browse connectors. Now let's say I wanna understand what these are. Hey, Clicky. What is a connector? A connector links Claude to outside apps like Gmail, Drive, or Notion so it can read and act on your stuff there.
04:59So can you tell me what a skill is and, uh, how that relates with connectors? Skills are reusable instructions you give Claude to do a specific task well, like a custom workflow or playbook. Connectors hook Claude up to apps for data. Skills tell it how to use that data.
05:18Okay. Thanks. Can you show me where my skills are? Just click around for me, please. Got it. I'll navigate you to your skills.
05:28Okay. So if you see, it just hit, did it on its own. It hits skills for me. Let's say I didn't know where it was. It can basically control your computer and be a buddy next to you. Right? And you can see all these skills. Skills directory now where installed skills are listed and managed. Awesome. So this is just a quick little overview of what I wanted to show that it could do where it can guide you around. It can click things around you, and all you have to do is talk with it. Right? So with that being said, now let's actually get on and do something kind of cool.
06:00Okay. So this is a common use case that I like doing. So let's say I was just filming an ad. Right? And in that ad, there's a lot of double takes and pauses and all that stuff that I need to edit and cut out. So I'll show you an example. Like, this is something I had.
06:15Most of you You can see I did that little pause. You were probably using maybe what most of you were probably maybe using 10% of what Clon can actually do, but the other 90% is where the So you could see, like, I can do those double takes. I do the retakes, all these things. I want those to be gone and all those to be edited out. Right? So what I can do is I can just be like,
06:39hey, Clicky. In my desktop, I have a file, add, read, test one. I want you to just take that, put it into Descript, and then figure out how we can use that to clean up the file such that I my double takes aren't there. It's cut. I don't have those pauses, etcetera. Alright? Clean that up. Show me in Descript the output final version. Send it to Descript, clean up the double takes and pauses,
07:01and show you the final version. Great. So now you can see this agent will be working and reasoning through everything while I can be back in my Claude doing whatever I need to. Great. And you see this process takes a lot of different steps. Right? First, it has to get the file from my computer, put it into Descript,
07:22and then it needs to figure out Descript. It needs to know where these cuts needs to be placed. It needs to know which settings to use. And you can see right here, it's it's already doing some stuff. Uh, what settings do you use to actually cut the things in the right places and then present it to me when it's done? So it's a very big task that happens on the side. I'll just keep letting it do its thing. Okay. So this is kinda cool. Uh, you could see in here, it uses its, um, cursor. This is in the background that can act as I'm doing this stuff. And it says remove the false starts, and you can see I could even if I'm, like, switching back and forth between my windows, it's still good. It's opening up the project. It typed in what it needs to do, and it's just actioning it on the side. So I don't wanna interrupt it, but if you can see right here, you could see the false starts like most of you and then the paragraph one, and all those retakes are gonna be taken care of now. Descript version is ready. It removed the false start, the retakes, and tightened the pauses into a 20 threes cut.
08:19Okay. Cool. So now let's look at the original.
08:28Most of you are probably using maybe what? Most of you are probably maybe using 10% of what Clot. Okay. So, yeah, this is the start itself. It's very evident. Most of you are probably maybe using 10% of what Clot can actually do, but the other 90% is You can see. That's really cool.
08:45Nobody knows how to So it did all that. Now I think it did something at the end as well. Skills, connectors, agenda See, cut out the pauses and all these things. So it just made it really easy for me that now I can have a clip. I can be like, hey. Go cut this up, and it'll do it for me on its own. And this is the type of stuff I want you to understand and get in the habit of where you can just understand that, hey. My AI can just be using my computer next to me and getting things done, like editing my videos. Like, right now, let's see
09:17it doing something else other crazy. So one thing I wanna show you just so you are familiar with the platform, this is one thing that always follows you around. But whenever you want Clicky to do something, on the side here, these agents will remain. Okay? So you could see I've been telling it to do some stuff. And right now, if I'm done with it, I would just cross it out. Like, here, done.
09:39Okay? And you can have multiple. So I normally just have multiple running at a time. Okay? And let me get into how I'm actually using multiple. I'll show you that. So this is my website. And then let's see.
09:55Hey, Clicky. Can you for my website that's up right now, Booked in AI, uh, can you look up what competitors
10:03I have and then make a PDF so I can look through them?
10:11On it, I'll research your competitors and build that PDF. And you can see I just have these things running on parallel as I would just do anything else. And that's what I like about this. It has that effect of parallelization.
10:28So it's telling me this research competitor PDF is done. So let me get it to open it. Okay. You could see it says opening the PDF now. Great. So this is pretty cool. Um, you could see it did some research into my application. It knows it's about
10:46Voice AI, so it found these competitors, which is, I guess, pretty accurate. I like how it's doing it. Um, So that's just one little thing.
10:58Now let's make it do some other fun stuff.
11:03Hey, Clicky. Can you open up Amazon? Got it. Opening Amazon in your browser now. Okay. So now let's try something where I'm just gonna be making it add stuff to my browser in my Amazon cart and while I'm working on something else. Right? So it just opened up Amazon. Let's say I wanna make a new dish.
11:24Hey, Clicky. I wanna make a new, I don't know, steak recipe. Can you go look up online what a good steak recipe is and then add all of those in my Amazon cart?
11:39On it, I'll find a great steak recipe and add the ingredients to your cart. Okay. Great. So right now, what I'm gonna do is now that's happening on the background, I can be doing anything else that I want while that's happening. Alright? And it's gonna give me a little red ping when this is done. Okay. I forgot to record this, but it just told me it's done with Amazon stuff. And if I go back let me go look at my cart,
12:03and we can see, uh, it has the stake, some Danos, all these things, and a bunch of my bags for my wife. But That was probably there from before, but that's pretty funny. Yeah. So now on the background,
12:19Clicky just added a bunch of steak and a month whatnot into my cart, and that's cool.
12:27One thing I really like about Clicky is the fact that it can actually control the files in your desktop. So I could just hold control option, be like, hey, Clicky. Uh, in my desktop, I have a bunch of receipts for travel, breakfast, all that. Can you organize that into a folder? And then I want you to spin up a dashboard so I can visualize how much I spent.
12:52On it. Organizing those receipts and building your dashboard now. And then I can just go off and do whatever else I need to. Notice notice how it already made a folder with loose expense screenshots
13:05and made an expense dashboard for the notes, receipts, all these things, and it's building the app as I see it.
13:15Okay. So it just popped this out on my screen. Let's go look at it. So see the receipts? It says breakfast, lunch, dinner, travel, all of these. You see it has all the pictures of these things. It it was a hard task because, actually,
13:34you know, I didn't even give it very easy things to do. I gave it literally pictures. So what it had to do, it had to find the pictures, it had to scrape all that data, put it somewhere, organize it, make like a database, and then this dashboard. And all of this stuff is being done on the side after I just gave it this proper command. It just went ahead and figured it out. I thought that was a really cool use case and I like doing this here and there when I just need to visualize some quick data, you know. And if I wanted it to, let's say, take these spreadsheets
14:04and then update a master Google spreadsheet or something like that, hey, Clicky. Can you go ahead? And in my Google Drive, you will see expense reports mock and then update that spreadsheet for me with these expenses, please. Okay. So now I was gonna go off and do that. And then when this is done, I'll show you because this will probably take a while. Okay. Your receipts are sorted into a new expense dashboard folder
14:28and the spending dashboard is running in your browser preview. Okay. So right here, you see I put in a bunch of others and then it can just do all of the stuff. And the reason it can do that is right here. This one is a bit hit or miss. I don't think this feature is fully fleshed out yet, but here, if I expand the clicky settings on the top and then I hit this settings button,
14:52you could see it can actually connect to your Google Workspace. And when it connects to your Google Workspace, it can use your Google Sheets, your slides, all your Google Drive, all these stuff, and then interact with that. So if you wanted to send an email, you could say the same thing, and it'll do all these little admin tasks as well. Alright? Okay. Let me see if I can build an app with Clicky.
15:16Hey, Clicky. Can you build an application so that you are recording my meetings? And then after you record my meetings, uh, hopefully, it's saved to my computer. And, uh, what I want you to do is make sure you transcribe it as well and save it somewhere. Cool. That's another use case. Got it. I'll build a meeting recorder with transcription for you.
15:39HOOKOh, you see this is now it's building my meeting vault. This is kind of cool. So now I'm assuming if I hit the start recording, it'll record. Allow this time. Hello. Hello. Hello. What are you up to? Okay. So it's a very simple app. I think, uh, if you wanna download your recordings and lets you download these files. Alright. That's pretty cool. Hello. Hello. Hello. Okay. So that is the meeting. Hey, Clicky. Hey, Clicky. What do you know about me so You're working across three screens. You're into meta ads and have someone named Ryan you're giving access to. You've been chatting with Fariza. And right now, you've got a Heptabase doc open about Clicky video planning on one screen and Spotify's deep focus playlist with your calendar on another. Looks like a productive setup. Hey. This person's exposing my whole life. Okay. And
16:31HOOKlastly, I wanted to show you this repository that I found and it's called OpenClicky. It's really cool. And what you can do with OpenClicky is you can take this, you can set it up with your own API keys or whatever you need to, and then customize this app to whatever industry that you would need. And you can technically use any model that you want. If you have a local model that you have running in your computer, you can get clicky to use this as well,
16:57CTAand that kind of unlocks a crazy amount of wild possibilities. Right? So if you wanna learn more about that and how you can actually use open source technology, check out this video where I kind of dive into one of the best open source projects ever.
§ · For Joe
Steal the three-level demo ladder.
Tutorial format for any agent product
Every JoeFlow / Mod Producer launch video should have a Setup, Use Cases, Build-Your-Own ladder — and the use cases should be obnoxiously specific.
- Open with proof-not-promise: show the tool already doing the work in a screen-recording while the title hook plays. Don't talk about it first.
- Make the agenda visible at ~0:43. Three levels with numbered cards. It sets retention anchors for the whole video.
- Use the Old-Way / New-Way wedge before the demos. Six-step parody chain of 'how you'd normally do this' is universally relatable.
- Pick weirdly specific use cases (steak recipe → Amazon cart, receipts → live dashboard). Specificity reads as real workflow, not staged.
- Be honest when something's undercooked — the 14:30 'this feature is hit or miss' moment is a credibility move, not a flaw.
- End on a next-video bridge, not a product pitch. Earn the next click; the description carries the paid asks.
- Build a JoeFlow tutorial using this exact spine: 'Setup (download + Mic + signing in), Use Cases (morning batch, dictation, asset library), Build Your Own (custom Routines).' Same shape, your product.
§ · For You
If you're a Mac user who feels behind on AI.
What this means for you
Clicky is the first agent tool that's worth trying even if you have zero coding background — and it's still free right now.
- It's Mac-only. If you're on Windows, this one isn't for you (yet).
- Download from clicky.so, grant the mic / accessibility / screen-recording permissions, hold ⌘+⌥ to talk to it.
- Best first task: ask it where something is in an app you already use. It will narrate and click around for you instead of you Googling a tutorial.
- Second task: hand it a small repeatable chore — organize a folder of files, fill a shopping cart, draft a sheet. Watch it work in parallel while you keep doing your own thing.
- If you're privacy-cautious: it sees your whole screen. The 16:00 activity-tracker demo is exactly as exposing as it sounds.
- If you want the open-source version with your own API keys or a local model, OpenClicky on GitHub is the path.
