[00:06:04]Hello everyone. What's going on?

[00:06:08]What a good day for an AMA, man. Like I've been looking forward to this for quite a while. So, this is good stuff.

[00:06:15]So, uh welcome everybody to the Flux AMA. Uh we have uh pretty much we've got a couple topics today that we're going to go over. Uh we will open it up at the end for AMA questions. We'd like to try to keep uh keep it quick and moving fast. We've got about an hour to cover what we need to cover and we can't really go over because we've got some appointments on the other side of this. So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to John Ker. John, tell us a little bit about yourself. Hey. Uh So, um I joined the project uh a few years ago. Was community member like uh most everyone that started in this uh you know, on this team.

[00:06:54]Uh transitioned into the AI side of the house about a year ago uh working with Das. So, uh now I'm the technical lead on the Flux AI side.

[00:07:04]Um yeah, just uh we're making good progress and excited to be here.

[00:07:10]Awesome. Yeah. Uh Flux AI is really hitting the ground running, I must say.

[00:07:15]Uh there's not too many meetings I go to that I'm kind of feeling dumb.

[00:07:22]>> [laughter] >> The Flux AI meetings are one, you know what I mean? Like they they move so fast, man. It's like it takes me a while to catch up. Pretty amazing things that they're working on, too, and we'll learn about a few of them today.

[00:07:33]Betty, how are you?

[00:07:35]I'm good.

[00:07:37]You want to give a little intro if if somebody doesn't know who Betty is?

[00:07:42]Yeah, so I am in the marketing team.

[00:07:45]I've been here for like 5 years already.

[00:07:49]Um, working on SSP query, currently FluxCloud as well, helping out where I can.

[00:07:57]Wait a minute. All the trolls in Discord say there's no marketing team. So you you exist, right?

[00:08:05]Yes, [laughter] yes, I exist. I'm here.

[00:08:06]I'm here like Oh, Betty, you had a you Your the marketing team has the hardest job in in this space by far. When you're in a down market like this, things are kind of, you know, uncertainty in the world, everybody blames marketing because you're not getting traction.

[00:08:24]Fact and reality is it's like pissing in the wind.

[00:08:27]You know, you're you're you It's hard to get people to move. Uh, so what you have to do and what Betty has done with the team in marketing is really built the foundational groundwork for when we get to the next level.

[00:08:39]Because eventually this too shall shall pass. You know, there'll be there'll be a upcycle that like you never believe and we need to be in front of that and Betty does a real good job of doing that.

[00:08:51]Thank you so much. 100% it's it's difficult currently in the bear market, but this will pass.

[00:08:58]And we need to stay strong, promote our services currently and work on it in the background during the bear market and that's that's the right time to build and focus on that.

[00:09:10]Preach.

[00:09:13]Valter.

[00:09:14]For all the people that don't know who the evil genius behind all the things FluxOS is, please introduce yourself.

[00:09:22]Hello, so I'm Valter. I'm from Portugal.

[00:09:26]I in the Flux projects for like eight or nine years since almost the start.

[00:09:33]Uh I am now for some years responsible for for the Flux Cloud Network development and everything that is related with it.

[00:09:45]So, Flux nodes Arcane OS cloud that run on flux.com the applications on the network I'm the one responsible for the team that is building building it.

[00:10:02]That's it.

[00:10:03]I'm very glad very glad to be here and uh I think today we'll share some stuff for the community that they will like and enjoy. Some things no one knows yet not even you guys not even you guys. Not me? Not me?

[00:10:25]>> Not not even you. Well, why why won't you tell me Walter?

[00:10:31]>> [laughter] >> Uh Why why leaky leaky Ben? Yeah, I have a history of leaking [ __ ] so good I'll be I'll be amazed to see it today too. So, I will welcome everybody on board couple housekeeping items.

[00:10:47]We've got quite a few people here. If you could like and retweet on Twitter share the YouTube link.

[00:10:55]I ask people if they can do us a solid and maybe live tweet what's they're seeing if they see something cool which I guarantee you're going to see something cool today.

[00:11:04]Just take the time and and help us out and and you know, post some posts out there get some action moving on on things and see that number go up quick.

[00:11:15]All right. So, without further ado, I think the way we're going to handle it today is I'm going to let Walter go and then I'm going to let John go and then I'm going to end up on the tail end of all of that with my updates. So, I think that would be the easiest way. So, without further ado, I'm going to turn it over to Volter.

[00:11:35]And have at it, buddy.

[00:11:37]Thank you.

[00:11:39]So, when we scheduled this meeting, this AMA, one of the things that I thought is what do I see the community having doubts and making questions about what is our vision for the Flux Cloud Network? And today I will talk a little bit about it.

[00:12:11]Can you go for the next slide?

[00:12:13]Please, because Okay.

[00:12:16]And this is the only slide that I have, but I will dig on each one of the subjects.

[00:12:27]First of all, what do we have next on our network?

[00:12:32]There will be new benchmark version release for the our nodes. It was already talked before.

[00:12:39]This will enforce a new CPU system to get the performance of the CPU.

[00:12:48]And it will be released most probably next week. That's what we are working on.

[00:12:55]One of the things that we are working on.

[00:13:00]We will also be delivering in the next few weeks a new Arkan OS operating system based on the just released Ubuntu 26.

[00:13:13]There are lots of new features included on it. It will be not just the base Ubuntu, but we will have new encryption stuff system that will be also uh be used by the applications on the network.

[00:13:32]Now, one of the things that I uh I think it's really important to talk.

[00:13:37]As you could see in the last few weeks or months, there will there was lots of releases of new dedicated websites on the cloud for specific uh products.

[00:13:53]Uh The reason that we are doing this is because for our current clients, if they go to cloud.runonflux.com, they will see how can I say? It's a very advanced tools uh for all kind of app type of applications. And there are some kind of apps that the customer it can be much more uh friendly if you have a website that is dedicated for the product that he's trying to rent.

[00:14:32]Without all of things that he doesn't understand and he doesn't care about it.

[00:14:38]So, this is the first goal of these new dedicated websites for specific apps.

[00:14:46]The second goal is each one of these websites have dedicated SEO.

[00:14:54]And one of the things that cloud.runonflux was lacking was good SEO because we have so many different types of applications and games that it's difficult for one, just [clears throat] one website to have good SEO on all of those fronts. So, we want to get good SEO for these specific websites.

[00:15:25]And we will be continuing launching more.

[00:15:29]Even today, we released a new website just for renting Open Cloud running on Flux Cloud Network. And it's very simple, uh few clicks. The install process was uh changed on the website, so it's easy for any person person to follow what it needs to get your Open Cloud running uh on the network.

[00:16:00]Uh more websites that we are going to have dedicated. I can already share some of them uh for things that will appear next. For example, we have on cloud.runonflux.com one of the latest products that we delivered that was uh Git deployments that we got lots of traction from it.

[00:16:29]But again, it was included inside cloud.runonflux.com.

[00:16:35]Where uh again, the application management is uh more for advanced users. So, we are also going to release a new website just dedicated for Git deployments. More simplistic even that it is currently on on Cloud.

[00:16:57]So, the what we want, what is the vision, what do we see in here?

[00:17:04]Flux Cloud Network is a decentralized cloud network, and what we want is all kinds of applications to be possible to run on this network.

[00:17:19]We don't want any limitation because it's decentralized. And that's what we have been working on for for for some years. And I think we already achieved big big part of it.

[00:17:34]There are still some limitations.

[00:17:38]But these limitations, for example, will be worked on the next application specification V9.

[00:17:46]So, what is the vision on my perspective? I want cloud our cloud to be able to run any kind of application. I don't care what it is. It can run everything. So, it is for the uh Daniel that wants to play Minecraft, uh for Walter that wants to run uh some uh AI stuff, uh for Betty that wants some marketing websites, or for John that wants uh I don't know uh play uh GTA V, whatever. So, any kind of application, databases, everything. And we want to make it as simple as possible for anyone that arrives can get what he wants easily.

[00:18:43]That's it, the vision. We want more traction, more applications being deployed on the network.

[00:18:50]That's what we want all want.

[00:18:54]And now the final part that is very important.

[00:18:59]Flux network application specification V9. This was already talked about.

[00:19:04]I'm not going to enter on all the details, but basically all the applications on the network, when they are registered.

[00:19:13]They have like a contract.

[00:19:16]Currently is the version eight.

[00:19:19]And we are updating to a new version. Why?

[00:19:23]Because there are features, new features that we want to include that the current contract model does not support it.

[00:19:34]And these needs These is not like uh something that is done from one day to the other because we need to think that all the nodes will have to understand the new contract and know what to do with these new application specification. So, it's a lot of work that needs to be done to make sure we don't cause problems to the network, to the decentralized network.

[00:20:00]So, there are a lots of features that will be included on these new application specification. I can tell you for example one.

[00:20:09]Uh that's uh for probably for uh clients will not make a difference, but for the network is important that it will make possible to add more applications. I will give you an example.

[00:20:31]Uh I was trying to add one of It's a old game, but it is still one of the most popular games uh on on worldwide which still probably it's still the game that have more people still playing every day.

[00:20:51]Counter-Strike.

[00:20:53]And uh I got a issue.

[00:20:57]The network as it is, the current contract, I was able to put it running on the network, but it was not on a good way. It was not easy. So, we have some features on V9 application specific specifications that will bring uh the possibility to add, for example, add Counter-Strike.

[00:21:22]But, when I'm saying Counter-Strike, the feature it will be probably used for many other type of applications. This is one of the things.

[00:21:33]The other thing that for me it's the most important feature and it's the one that you are not aware and it's something new uh is uh referral codes. So, one of the things that's uh marketing already asked us about uh long time ago is the possibility to have referral codes. So, we will have uh a website for anyone can go in and they will uh register and they will get a code.

[00:22:17]It can be a gamer, online gamer for example, that can be streaming a game and he can go in say, "Hey, go register this game host your own uh dedicated server of this game and you can go to the cloud.runonflux.com or if there is a dedicated website that it can point to the dedicated website and use this code to get, for example, 10% off discount.

[00:22:46]And I am watching the stream, I will get the code, I will go to the website and I will register with those uh that code and I will have a 10% discount code on the application registration. But, what will happen is the person who who is the uh owner of that code will get a percentage that we will say later on of every purchase that I do on that game after.

[00:23:30]So, if I buy for 1 month, but then I renew for three more years, every time I make the payment, that person that made the referral code will be able to get a percentage of what was paid.

[00:23:45]And it will be a mixed.

[00:23:48]So, it's not just uh the percentage that the person who gives the referral code will get, it will depend. There will be a flat fee, so anyone can use it, but we will have more stuff. Like, for example, if you go on Reddit and do uh how can I say?

[00:24:15]Uh a post about us or this game, blah blah blah, you will get higher percentage. When I'm saying uh Reddit can be a YouTube video, whatever. So, there will be a flat fee, and if you do more things that we will confirm that you are doing, you will get higher percentage. So, this is one of the things that I uh do believe that can help us, special regarding marketing, because I see so many people talking about marketing, like you were saying. So, we will This way, I think it's a good way for even the community can make marketing for us, let's say like this.

[00:25:06]Mouth to mouth is the best marketing for any product. So, if you can go and get like some share of what someone else is going to pay for uh for using the service, I think it's a a very good win-win win for everyone.

[00:25:30]For us, Flux Network, for the client that will get a discount when he goes and makes the purchase of the application, and for the person who gives the referral code. So, these uh are basically the things that's There are lots of other things on the v9 application specification, but they are very technical, and I would say when we are more close to release them, probably we can do another AMA session just to talk about them.

[00:26:07]But for now, I would say for these the referral code is the thing that I from my perspective, and I believe in it for the community what they can feel like it can make a difference. We were lacking this. But this isn't uh uh I remember talking with marketing.

[00:26:28]Remember, we are a decentralized network. We don't have a central database where we you go and like for magic uh all the payments we know what for what referral code they are connected to.

[00:26:46]So, only the new application specification, this requires work, and we are working for it to bring this to the network into the community.

[00:26:56]Um yeah, I think these were my 20 minutes what I want to talk uh with the community. So, vision again, I see many people sometimes, not many people, but sometimes people uh I don't see uh the team talking about uh what is the vision? What is what what are you guys trying to address? And I I think this time, this minutes for me was the wanting to explain basically the Flux Cloud network. The vision is very simple. We want everyone, no matter who, to be able to spawn applications on the network. We want it more utilized. And for that, we are delivering tools that can simplify and get us more customers easily.

[00:27:48]For example, I can even provide something in that happened this week that was interesting. One of the things that last features that we delivered was something that was the community that was discussing it on Discord.

[00:28:04]Was the possibility of creating uh uh how do you say? On Stripe auto renewals.

[00:28:17]This one This was being discussed by the community, and we bring that up. So, now you can go there and you can forget about having to go to renew your app or every month or every 3 months or whatever. You make Stripe auto subscription method, and when it's time, your card is uh we credit your card, and the application is automatic renewed. One of the things that I thought it was cool was this week I saw someone paying uh with auto renew subscription for 1 year. It was a website. So, I'm glad when I see this because it means that for that client it should be happy with what we are offering.

[00:29:08]Yeah. Because it was already using the network, but this time you went and slided to 1 year and struggled to auto renew. So, should be a happy customer and I was happy to see it. Yeah.

[00:29:23]You got a few questions. We're just going to buzz through real quick, Valter. Uh question is is Flux email in the roadmap? It is only it is only essential decentralized service we still don't have. Email plus VPN plus password vault plus cloud storage are what matter to me. And I if you don't mind I'll kind of take that one. We're looking at different solutions. Nostr just came out with kind of a decentralized email model. I sent it to Valter. We started kind of kicking it around a little bit on how it could happen. It's not like at the top of our list right now. Uh we feel like we've got enough components in place to you know, serve our customer base. So, it's but but it I agree with you 110%. We need it. Uh I hate using G- Gmail for my mail client. I mean, it's or Proton or something like that.

[00:30:11]So, I'd love to have you know, we could call it Fmail. Uh the Fmail uh I don't know if that's a good idea, but >> [laughter] >> Uh yeah, we can definitely do something like that eventually. It's like it's like what I was saying before. We want everything to be able to run on the network. Everything.

[00:30:30]Uh Let me see. Do you have more information about the big customer? Okay.

[00:30:35]>> I'll take I'll take I'll take that. Uh uh Everything we do is a learning process.

[00:30:43]So, it isn't like we can take the conceptual structure of a normal enterprise and apply it immediately to a new customer.

[00:30:53]So, most of these customers we have to go through a learning curve with. Some have been here Volter, what do you think? 2 years plus?

[00:31:00]You know, beta and [ __ ] We have seen quite a bit of no plan intended influx of people who after the AWS debacles of downtime and so on and so forth are looking at different alternatives. The other big thing is people are looking to reduce their costs on infrastructure. And I'm going to talk a little bit about a few line items I have at the end of this.

[00:31:22]But these are big things. So, one of those things is how we handle releases. So, we're ready to go anytime.

[00:31:32]Legacy customers not so much. They have marketing teams, they have PR teams, they have senior VPs, they I mean I've done so many [ __ ] presentations my head spins.

[00:31:42]For one customer. Now, granted it's a massive customer, but it it you know, it is a process. You have to take the time, explain it, you have to prove your MVPs, you have to do all that. So, I was a little premature because I felt like we were ready for release. Well, I learned something in that as well and that is you've got to give them their time to get their [ __ ] together and sometimes it takes substantially more time than what it is for us. So, good for us, bad for bad for quick client. Even even for us. I I I can for for example share that for example some of the things that will come with new application specifications are request of features that we don't have yet that are available available on AWS.

[00:32:33]And for big customers that are using their service, It's for me it's normal.

[00:32:39]I'm I'm a If I'm planning to move from uh place A to place B, I don't want to lose features. So, it's normal. Let's say like this.

[00:32:54]Uh any plans on adding Roblox to the gaming side? Nearly all the Discord members are showing up thinking we have it. Although they come to us for Flux us cheat codes.

[00:33:04]I don't even know what is Roblox TO BE HONEST.

[00:33:06]>> GOD. WALTER, you and I need to have a discussion after this call because Roblox is a perfect That's like injecting straight into the vein for these kids, man. Like they love this stupid ass game.

[00:33:19]Uh so, for whatever it is.

[00:33:21]Yeah. Well, you're not missing anything cuz I've played it, [laughter] but they love it for some reason. I don't know.

[00:33:28]Uh how does the 10% discount you talk about stack with the first 3 months for new customers?

[00:33:37]Uh I I don't know yet, but don't worry.

[00:33:39]It will be If it's If it's not on the first month, the discount will apply on the second one. Let's say like this.

[00:33:47]It says, "How How can and how can the refer or how will the referral program work? How can I start to be an ambassador there? Will I get my own link?"

[00:33:57]Uh I I I think I just talked about it now.

[00:34:01]When when it's close to be released, I week I think people will see will have all their answers there, basically.

[00:34:10]Let's say like this.

[00:34:12]Awesome. All right, Walter. Thanks for the >> I still I still have one Easter egg before I have to leave.

[00:34:21]So, Easter egg. What it is?

[00:34:25]New application specifications will also make it possible so that clients instead of being renting apps we will have VPS offers also. So That's big, dude. I didn't even know that. when the clients will be able to rent a VPS on the Flux Cloud Network.

[00:34:52]Get the [ __ ] out of here. Oh, yeah.

[00:34:56]>> [laughter] >> Wow.

[00:34:58]Wow. You didn't even I wasn't even prepared for that. And just so everybody knows, that was 100% me finding out the same time you all found out. So that's a big [ __ ] deal. That is a big deal.

[00:35:10]That's one of the things that we are working on the background. We want to make it possible because it will simplify for some people.

[00:35:21]Uh yeah, they just want to rent a machine and be able to go there and do whatever they want to uh put their service working. And they don't want just a specific app. They might want more than one thing to be running on the machine. So >> that that is probably the biggest news we've had for that side of the house since uh since Arcade. Yeah, I think so.

[00:35:48]So yeah. Yeah, I think so. It will be very big.

[00:35:52]Uh I I don't know yet what will be the price or anything like that, but yeah, it will happen sooner or later, hopefully soon.

[00:36:04]Uh we will have that to offer also on cloud.runonflux.com and most probably sometime after on a dedicated website just for renting VPSs on the cloud network.

[00:36:19]And that's it from my side. I hope you guys have enjoyed.

[00:36:23]Uh thank you for having me. It's always a pleasure. All right, you knocked my socks off, buddy. You that that at the end was quite the surprise. I appreciate it.

[00:36:32]>> [laughter] >> All right.

[00:36:35]Now I have to leave. I will uh um I I will be leaving, but I will be still be watching uh the AMA until the end.

[00:36:46]Uh thank you one more time for having me.

[00:36:49]Dude, thank you for jumping on, Vulture.

[00:36:51]Appreciate you, brother.

[00:36:53]Bye-bye.

[00:36:55]>> [snorts] >> Wow.

[00:36:56]Okay, even I get surprised every now and again, and that that's a big deal.

[00:37:00]That's been on my list of [ __ ] that I'd love to see for a very long time. So, I'm super happy about that.

[00:37:07]John, the man. Hey.

[00:37:12]You got a PowerPoint presentation, don't you? Uh actually, I'm going to probably share uh share browser screen.

[00:37:18]Uh very very small PowerPoint thing here just for some bullet points, but figured I'd make this fairly quick. Uh we have 25 minutes left or so, and I still got to let you have some time and Well, if we run over, we run over. I'm not worried about it. Let's just get I I would rather everybody see what what they came to see. Yep. I know that's typical anyway, but yeah, so I'll start um you know, we're just going to go through some updates on the Flux AI side of the house on current projects that you know, we have already released.

[00:37:45]Um you know, updates to those projects.

[00:37:47]Um and you know, I just just some of those things maybe um that you haven't seen before um and some things that I find um extremely useful even in you know, our side and using them in-house. Um so, I'm going to go ahead. I think I can add this.

[00:38:09]There we go.

[00:38:10]So, that should be beaver.

[00:38:13]Um so, let me bring this up quick.

[00:38:18]So, what we're basically going to cover here is we we went over Beaver AI time in the last um AMA Uh uh that we guys had with Dez. Um but I just wanted to kind of dive into a couple of these things so cuz there were um a bunch of updates to Beaver uh in the last couple of weeks. Um so, the first thing that I'm just going to hit on is just uh we're just going to go through the magic whiteboard first. Um and essentially what this is uh and and I believe you guys seen this before, but um it is actually a meeting platform that is basically AI generated uh for summaries. Um so, what I'll probably do is just go into the demo first.

[00:39:00]So, you guys can kind of get an idea.

[00:39:02]So, essentially what this is is it's it's a a meeting platform. So, it's no no bots or anything joining the meeting. This is actually hosted on Beaver AI. And you can invite guests or have recurring meetings um with your team.

[00:39:18]Uh and the cool thing about this is that it sets up agendas. Um it does AI detections for decisions, action items.

[00:39:27]Um and it basically helps helps keep your team on topic as you're going through the meeting. So, if you have things that are in the agenda that you want to hit, um Beaver will kind of help uh nudge you in the right direction. Um and and keep keep the meeting on topic.

[00:39:42]Uh and then the cool thing about this too is all of the transcripts here, um you know, these this is basically um your voice to text, right? So, all these transcripts, there's no audio ever recorded. So, no audio is stored, recorded. It's basically all in flight uh to our our um AI. It gets transcribed. Um and then the meetings and the transcriptions, summaries, action items, all of those are stored encrypted. Um so, basically all of these transcripts and everything is, you know, completely private to you. Uh no third party. They don't go to Google. They don't go anywhere else. Um, you know, so like I said, this is not part of like Teams or Meet or any of that. Um, and you know, some of the really really nice things is all of these action items and the [ __ ] decisions, um, you know, are are listed and and assigned to, you know, the uh the participants. And even if they're not part of Beaver AI, like the actual site, they'll still get the post-meeting briefs, uh summaries, action items, and it helps you keep um, you know, really nice summary of the meeting.

[00:40:48]Um, and the other really nice thing about, um, the whiteboard, which we had just, um, went over, uh or just added since the last day of May, is you're now able to, um, set up recurring meetings with the whiteboard.

[00:41:03]So, if you have recurring Google Meets or you have Teams meetings or Zoom, you can actually replace those recurring meetings in your calendar with whiteboard meetings. So, basically, you know, it it it gives you direct links to the whiteboard.

[00:41:17]Uh which is which is really nice.

[00:41:20]Um, so that's >> Hey, let John, before you jump to the next thing, I just want to share a real quick story. The reason uh we called it Beaver is because we give a damn about your privacy.

[00:41:30]And the reason the reason this thing was born was as we were kind of working on our AI kind of workflow for for Influx and for the team, uh we subscribed to Otter, which is a AI-based transcription service. Uh the We actually met with a customer and we had Otter running in the background. He was keeping the information. And the first thing the customer said to us is, "You guys are a decentralized company, but you're using a centralized platform for your for your AI transcription." And I was like, "Yeah, you're right. We need to build something different." So, I called Dazzle on the phone and I told him exactly what I was looking for, and 3 days later, Beaver was born. So, I'm a massive fan of Beaver. I use it for every meeting I have. It is private, it's secure. They don't glean your data, they don't harvest your data, they don't, you know, take your ideas from you cuz essentially that's what a lot of these AI transcription clients are doing is they're if you read the terms of service it it it it's pretty ugly, man. Like, they're harvesting your [ __ ] So, Beaver is 100% decentralized, it's 100% private. You are the keeper of your meetings and data. So, big big deal there. I just want to share a little history on how it was born. Yes. Yeah, yeah, exa- exactly.

[00:42:48]And that's um that's a the huge part of of of just this in general is is keeping everything, you know, private and, you know, that you know, your your data transcripts aren't going uh anywhere, you know, outside this platform, right?

[00:43:01]And they're encrypted. Um you know, so that makes it pretty nice. And that that's actually a really good segue into the other two um options that we kind of added since the last time. I know these were here, but there's been some updates to these. Um so, I'll just go into the pre-recorded audio uh section. So, essentially what this is is say you already have a pre-recorded audio meeting. Um and you want to drop this in uh for transcription. Um it could be, you know, from your phone, it could be really from anything. And you can basically drag and drop that file uh in here, and we'll do basically in-flight or in-flight transcription. We don't save the audio.

[00:43:38]Um you know, once once it is transcribed, um everything is is basically purged from our system. The only things that stay are the transcripts. Um and those transcripts are then um encrypted and on the system.

[00:43:50]Um >> I didn't even know you could do that, dude. That's huge.

[00:43:53]>> Yep. Yep. Yeah, people don't tell me [ __ ] anymore, man. I got to find out on at the meetings the same way you guys do. That that's pretty freaking cool.

[00:44:01]Yep. So, um you know, that that's one one way you can do it, which is pretty nice. So, again, you know, no no audio is stored. Uh that that's kind of our big proponent again with the privacy aspect. Um and kind of segueing into another thing is the in-person meeting.

[00:44:14]Um so, this is one where you actually you can have your as you see here, your phone is the microphone. Um and it's actually what this is is you can record meetings and it requires consent up front. So, there's actually a consent screen. So, you have a consent first recording, which basically every you know, every meeting has to get consent from the the people who are in it uh for it to be transcribed. Uh but essentially what this is is very similar to the pre-recorded audio except for it's in flight. So, meaning that it's it's recorded live uh and transcribed live.

[00:44:47]Um and it does the same exact things um as all the other meetings as far as uh transcripts and things like that. So, this kind of gives you an idea. You record consent.

[00:44:59]Um it does the actual recording. You know, this is what it looks like.

[00:45:02]>> John, did you ever see Step Brothers the movie?

[00:45:05]Yeah, of course. Did we just become best friends? All right. This is crazy, dude.

[00:45:10]I didn't even know this existed. This is huge, especially for two clients that I'm thinking of right now who are in the government and in private sector in the in the financial sector where they they can use this for their in-person meetings and they may not want to have all that data, you know, uploaded to the cloud or wherever it's capturing it. So, this is a this is a another huge one.

[00:45:31]So, well done, man. I didn't even know this. Yep. So, that's there and let me see, the other we have we have a couple more. So, I know we're running out of a little bit of time, but this is this is the traditional meeting. So, I just wanted at least there's a couple updates here. So, this is your traditional meeting bot that would actually go into Google or go into your Microsoft Teams or Zoom meetings and transcribe the meeting. Again, no audio is recorded. We don't save any audio. It's all transcription based. The options that we have added here are actually being able to select the language. Uh so, we had a customer that was um that had had meetings that were sometimes in Italian, sometimes in English.

[00:46:09]Uh and you know, transcription bots have to actually be able to transcribe in the native language. You know, once we have the native language, say it transcribes in Italian, we can on the back end, on the AI side, you know, still work with that without any problem. It can either output in English or Italian. It doesn't doesn't matter.

[00:46:26]Um but this, you know, this that was the biggest updates to these.

[00:46:31]Um to the the live meeting note taker.

[00:46:33]And these, um you know, these meet meeting note takers, uh these bots are run on Flux Cloud. So, we utilize the, you know, the actual cloud network uh to basically put the nodes or the bots where we need them, um you know, throughout throughout the world, really. So, if you need something that's in Italy or Portugal or, you know, Germany, wherever, uh we can actually, you know, put a bot in that area to be able to join the meets. Hey, John. One thing we can add later that I really think would be cool would be uh in-time real translation of you know, if you have somebody on the say you're having a personal meeting, you got somebody that speaks German, someone that speaks, you know, English, somebody that speaks Spanish. Like real turn time interpretation so that people understand what's going on in the meeting. It could be beneficial, especially when we work with uh we work a lot with folks in China and other areas where maybe English isn't their even second or third or fourth dialect, you know, so that would be kind of cool in the future as well.

[00:47:37]>> Absolutely agree. And that's something that we're we're uh we have tossed around the ideas of technically how to add this to the whiteboard. That's probably the first place we'll add it since we kind of control the um the speech-to-text portion of that.

[00:47:50]And being able to possibly translate that on the other end. So, you could translate, you know, from whatever source language to, you know, to English. Um, that sort of thing. Uh, and that is something that's on our road map. Uh, it's technically a little more challenging just uh, given like the you know, the hardware that we need to use and and kind of how how it all works in the back end. Um, but it's definitely something we're we're looking into, for sure. And just a heads up, the entire Flux team utilizes Beaver now. Um, you know, we practice what we preach. We utilize our products and I'm sure John's got another product to talk about that we use as well. So.

[00:48:28]Yeah, so no worries. I just want to just jump into this real quick and this kind of gives you an idea of the you know, what what it looks like on the other end. Uh, like once the meetings are finished, you know, it gives you the transcript, you know, transcribed here so you can kind of go through and check it out. It gives you the AI summary with key points, overviews, decisions made, things like that. Uh, and that's important because, you know, at the end of the day, you have an hour-long meeting and sometimes you just kind of forget some of the things that were discussed, right? Because you kind of might jump around through topics. Um, cool thing about this, you can go right back in, you can check the key points and, you know, figure out, "Hey, was anything assigned to me? What were the highlights of the meeting? Are there action items I need to do today, tomorrow? When are they due?" Um, other cool things, you know, those action items then get assigned to you and in the tracking, you can go into the action items and actually move them around.

[00:49:15]Hold on, go back to last screen you were on. I saw something interesting.

[00:49:19]Yep. Does that say push to PM tool?

[00:49:22]Uh, yes. So, there there are export tools.

[00:49:25]So, you so you can export to uh, so Trello, Discord, you know, like Discord webhooks. Um, you know, you can So, like any of these action items, you could actually push to Trello and actually make them part of your Trello board >> [ __ ] if you want to.

[00:49:39]Wow.

[00:49:39]>> so yeah, so yeah, that's all part um, there's some export stuff. These aren't going to be enabled right now. Uh, simply But yeah, you can push to to Slack. There are different integrations that you can integrate into. Um, but yeah, the the biggest ones we usually use are Trello and um Discord on some things. It just depends uh that that we've seen usage in.

[00:49:58]Um, but I'm not going to go through all of this cuz we have a couple other things we're kind of winding down a little bit, but >> And then we're on the next one. Yep. So, this this is Beaver and like I said, there's been a lot of lot of good updates. Um Yeah, and you guys can check that out now. That's live. Go to with the website is >> It's beaverai.app.

[00:50:14]beaverai.app and we give a damn about your privacy.

[00:50:19]Yeah. So, um I guess the next one that we will hit on is uh Voice Desk, which is what um I believe was covered before at some point. Um but there have definitely been some updates to this. I believe you guys can see this now, right? I switched screens. Yeah, cool.

[00:50:37]Um So, what Voice Desk is um is is essentially turning your intelligence or your documents or your company data um into uh something a customer can directly communicate with via voice. Um and there are a few ways that we've built this out. Um so, you can upload say documentation or company data um as far as like you have uh you know, say like you have a restaurant and you need like opening hours, the menu, um potentially even ordering uh if it's connected to like an agent on the back end. Um but the cool thing is like, you know, kind of what's on here. There's no hold music, no voicemail, no missed opportunities. So, if you call this number, you're directly connected to something very specific about you know, your your business. And you can set it up for anything. Um so, we had a couple couple examples. We'll go ahead and just do here. So, you know, here's just one for appointment confirmation and basically what it would look like is you would have this uh I'm not going to do this cuz it's not going to come through the speakers properly, but you basically would post this on your website and you could click on it and talk directly to the browser. If you're not comfortable talking to, you know, the computer, it also gives you a phone number. So, you can either call it or you know, call it from your phone or directly do it through the browser with your mic.

[00:52:03]And you know, we've seen some some pretty cool things whether it be health care law offices.

[00:52:09]You know, I I have even kind of toyed around with it on like the automotive side for documentation and you know, scheduling and just things like that. And it it works, you know, extremely well. And like I said, it uses your company's data, which is the the best which is the best part. So, I'll show one other small thing.

[00:52:32]This one's a big one, too, folks. Like this is This is this is the real deal. Like, you know what I mean?

[00:52:41]One of the folks and I'm kind of leaking a little information here. We talked to a 911 call center. A massive one. Huge, massive one. And they're actually looking at rolling out AI as your first line of defense coming in for, you know, 911 calls and how to route them correctly. There's been and I don't know, I'm I'm an old firefighter so I know this, you know, because I still kind of follow things, but there's a huge issue with 911 call centers and this this definitely can help rectify that. And they were pretty impressed when we showcased this.

[00:53:15]Yeah, absolutely. And you know, we have we have some things in the background that are specific to that kind of like emergency type of services where you know, it can get GPS location services, things like that, which is which is pretty cool.

[00:53:28]I'm not showcasing that here cuz that's part of a maybe a different different product, but yeah, at least just wanted to show kind of how this looks or feels on a website.

[00:53:37]So, this is on our flux.ai app and I mean, you could you could use this right now. You call this number, you could do the talk via browser. Um you know, this will give you information about Flux AI, what the products are.

[00:53:49]Um and it kind of gives you just real quick simple live demo of how this works and what it what it does. Um but you know, on on the back end we're using, you know, uh our AI infrastructure uh to power most of this, which is really which is the core. So, like over the past years we've been kind of building up this infrastructure to do multiple things. So, now it's kind of building the products that are kind of tying all of that that we've kind of built through the past year or so, uh kind of tying that together into actual tangible products that, you know, customers can use. Um you know, which is which is pretty cool to see. Um so, I'll go on just to the next thing real quick. Uh this is basically the products that we have in development.

[00:54:32]I'm just going to kind of skim over these cuz they're not they're not completely uh This is my favorite.

[00:54:39]>> not completely live at the moment. Uh we're still testing it uh internally. Um but we have a a basically a new uh lead gen or campaign service, marketing service that's called Brimley.

[00:54:50]Um and it's uh you know, basically it's going to help with lead generation and doing email marketing campaigns. Um and we've been kind of, you know, using it uh you know, I'll say locally or within the team um to just make sure to get it right, right? And and >> And it [ __ ] works.

[00:55:08]>> It does. Yeah, it's it's really cool.

[00:55:10]>> That's the thing that's awesome. Like there's other ones out there that I've played around with or tried and they don't work. This [ __ ] works and it's it it's glorious. Yeah, so it's uh we're we're just, you know, tweaking a few things, turning a couple knobs, making sure, you know, everything is uh um you know, where we want it and um you know, the emails and and the leads that you're getting are are, you know, what the customer wants. And we're trying to make it as uh you know, as flexible as possible. Um so yeah, so I'm not going to go too much further into that. That this will be launching soon. Like I said, we're just in the middle of of finishing up a few few things with it, but um it's very close.

[00:55:50]So I'm just going to go back to Beaver.

[00:55:52]We'll just keep stay here, but um yes, the um other thing that we just kind of wanted to bring up and mess mention um are just, you know, things now that we've built like the back end of most of our systems, um we're able to get into more uh even custom AI projects. Uh so I just wanted to bring that up, you know, if uh any business or any any small or smaller medium-sized business needs uh some you know, custom AI solutions, we we're definitely prepared and and can help with a lot of those kind of local deployments, whether it's, you know, voice desk or or anything like that. Um yeah, so that that's some of the other things we've been looking into. I think you leveraging our products. Yeah, I think you can see a clear directive here, and that is customer at the inception and creation, customer retention with the voice piece, uh privacy and decentralization with Beaver and what we're doing internally.

[00:56:49]It's huge for companies, especially like government agencies and so on and so forth. And we're practicing what we're preaching with our marketing as well. So we've gone through like this state of uh flux here recently where um you know, uh AI's taken over. It just is. I mean, I I saw the other day Facebook laid off 10,000 employees. I saw, you know, chat GPT, they laid off I think think six or 7,000 employees. Why? Because the products are finally meeting their stroke, and you're starting to see the beginning of companies that integrate AI bring additional features to their platforms, and we want to be the one that's ahead of that as well, providing those services as they start to do that.

[00:57:30]You know, Meta and uh chat GPT and the other ones, they figured it out internally and developed it internally, but they're not going to share it externally. We're developing the same products that they're developing, but they're able to be purchased cheaply, efficiently, and decentralized. So, I mean, to us, we're getting ahead of the game of because we kind of had to change our our scope because technology has been changing and iterating so quickly that we've been keeping up ourselves and trying to get on the other side of it, projecting where we'll land, and I'll talk a little bit about that in a couple of minutes about some of the data center challenges that are coming up.

[00:58:07]But, you know, Flux AI is doing that.

[00:58:09]It's pulling the pieces together.

[00:58:13]Real quick, one question popped up. It says, "How will Brimley help with sales?" Dude, it it is unreal. It does everything for you. You basically give it the criteria that you want. It goes out, it finds the individuals to approach, sends them basically customized emails for them.

[00:58:31]It's not a spam. It's built directly for them. You have options of what you want to choose from to send them. So, say you want to talk to somebody about Flux AI, or say you want to talk to somebody about Flux OS, or say you want to talk to somebody about Fever. Or, you can talk to them about all those things. And you can be very selective and very broad, and I will tell you, we did an initial sampling of 50 people, and we've got we got a response back of like 5 to 10 people.

[00:58:57]That's unheard of in the marketing world. And these are all legitimate.

[00:59:01]We're going to have a phone call with you and sit and talk to you. We have not seen results like that in the history of Flux. So, yes, that is exactly what it was built for is to cultivate those individuals. We're going to target gaming, we're going to target healthcare, we're going to target AI development, custom development, because one of the big things about Flux AI, because we have all these components already generated and created, we like white label these and we can provide these to any customer under their own banner. So, you know, there's tons of opportunities there.

[00:59:35]But, I appreciate you jumping on, buddy.

[00:59:38]Uh thank you.

[00:59:40]Yeah, and we'll have to we'll have to have you on again, for sure. Yeah. All right. Thank you. Thank you.

[00:59:47]All right. So, I'm going to wrap it up.

[00:59:49]I got a couple things that I just want to talk to the general community about because I think that they're super important. Uh currently, uh one of the big things is the overall Web3 outlook. And you see a lot of people saying Web3's dead. You got a lot of people saying Web3's just the beginning. I err on the second. Uh we are just at the beginning phase of what Web3 is. It's very difficult to articulate appropriately to people what uh decentralized infrastructure does because they've been so entrenched in a centralized and curated environment for their entire careers that it sometimes takes two or three visits and maybe a presentation and, you know, maybe even some hand-holding to get an MVP in place. We are limited in our people. So, we will eventually be pushing this through like Vulture talked about earlier with referral codes and so on and so forth to make the Flux community our lead sales providers.

[01:00:45]Um we're going to give you guys the tools eventually in a package where you can go out and you can market and sell Flux yourself, get paid for it, uh and basically build on top of what we're already doing. We can't handle the lead generation that uh Brimley will bring in. Uh we don't have the staff to do so.

[01:01:06]Uh so, I'm going to enlist a bunch of community members who are maybe they're in the tech sector and they want to help or maybe they're in sales and they want to help. And we're going to basically create an environment where you guys can go out and sell to your heart's content and you can help build the network out at the same time. Now, that doesn't change the fact we're going after the big fish. We are going after the big fish. We are going after the mid-tier fish and even we're going after the mild and small because we've had a couple people, especially mild and small where we started with something just, you know, an easy fix and the next thing you know, they bring in a [ __ ] ton of work for us, which is great. So, we'll continue to keep doing that. Uh but one of the things that in Web3 and it's a trend, it's an alarming trend that I've continued to keep watching and that is data centers. Um the push for data centers in the US and I'm sure it's that way everywhere else is it's really interesting. Um matter fact, they've they're trying to put three or four data centers here where I'm located. And going to those meetings and seeing the people uh opposed to that, they they'll never be able to build the data centers that we need. Flux becomes really truly the only option for a decentralized platform.

[01:02:17]Uh we have a nuclear power plant that's, you know, 40 minutes away. Perfect place to drop a a data center. By the way, the nuclear power plant is currently operated being paid by Microsoft, which is pretty amazing.

[01:02:31]Uh you see Claude, which just recently signed a deal with Elon, uh billions of dollars to utilize their their infrastructure because they can't get enough. Uh and this is going to continue to be a trend. It's going to continue Stop shaking your leg, you're making the picture in back. Okay, sorry.

[01:02:48]I got like this nervous tick or something, I don't know. Uh So, yeah, I mean, it really makes um it really puts Flux at the at the front.

[01:03:00]And by the way, uh I didn't realize how hated these data centers were till I started going to a few of these meetings and watching the response it's getting from the residents. It's bad.

[01:03:11]Uh I mean, we had they had to remove people. It's bad. So, I think we're we're right in the position that we need to be right now. We have a solution and offering that kind of alleviates a lot of this. And if I could have stood up and pitched that at the meeting, I would have done that because really there is there is another way and Flux is the way.

[01:03:32]Uh we we are continuing to keep expanding our reach as well. We have worked with some government contracts as well. We've worked with data centers.

[01:03:42]We're working with all the major players in the space that we're trying to get to the next level, get them into web 3, and keep it growing. There'll be some pieces that us as a community have to talk about very soon and how we're going to handle things moving forward. We built Flux to scale.

[01:03:59]Um yeah.

[01:04:01]Little stash said a lot of HOA like Karens are going to these anti-AI meetings. Yes, you're right. And there was several Karens there and boy, I'll tell you what, they >> [snorts] >> I don't know about the blue-haired people, but we'll we'll we'll figure that out. Um you know, so anyway, long story short is we're doing everything on our our side to do it right. We're going to need the community and their input on where we go next, but it's pretty awesome.

[01:04:27]Um we talked a little bit of about Brimley. Brimley is a coordinated effort on our side to emerge our sales and marketing team into one plane single plane of glass to allow our sales team to work with our marketing team for demographic. So, we want to make sure we coordinate things.

[01:04:45]If we're going after health care, we need to have our marketing team in place to make sure that they can roll with that as well.

[01:04:51]And we we have definitely had a downsize. You know, we we don't talk much about it. It's just the way that it is. We you know, we wanted to make sure that this project would first survive in perpetuity and to do that, you have to adjust with the ebbs and flows of technology. So, we have set out on the past like three or four months of really embracing the AI component and where Flux OS can really build on top of that as well. And that's kind of the things we're looking at internally. That means you'll see changes. You've seen changes.

[01:05:24]Faces that you may have seen before may still be there, but maybe not at the same capacity.

[01:05:29]We're not looking to reinvent the wheel here. If something is is good and we can sell it and use it internally, we're going to do it. And we were able to reduce our footprint quite a bit by utilizing AI. And we're going to keep building on that. That's going to be robust. And we'll make sure we keep you guys updated and involved in that process so you know what's happening behind the scenes.

[01:05:54]Um We We One of the things we released today was the Claude Where is that?

[01:06:05]These This These are where suggestions from the community come in handy. This was an open call on a decentralized cloud. This is our cloud our Claude version out there came actually from input from one of the community members.

[01:06:19]And I think Little Stash is here. He was the one that kind of brought it up and said we need to be on that. And we kind of started to work on that. That was something we weren't looking at.

[01:06:28]But that was a community member that reached out and gave us good ideas about things and we we implemented them. So I think that these are the kind of things you as a community should be really thinking about. Our best eyes and ears for the tech sector are the people that utilize this platform.

[01:06:45]And our community members. So we can't be everywhere all the time. And I can tell you right now, I spend 11 12 hours a day in this world and I still can't keep up with the [ __ ] that I need to keep up with.

[01:06:58]So we need to make sure that Yes, Hermes is next. Yes, we we are working on that right now.

[01:07:07]So that 2x our open core. Yes, we agree.

[01:07:10]So, Hermes is coming. Um and by the way, I didn't know what Hermes was a month ago, but now I do.

[01:07:17]So, you know, that that's what I'm saying is our best eyes and ears is this community. So, we need to make sure we take the time and uh provide informative and constructive input.

[01:07:29]Um if you come in and you just [ __ ] all over us, we're more than likely just going to probably you know, not read it.

[01:07:36]You know what I mean? Like I'm just being frank with you. Uh we get enough uh uh destructive criticism that it you had just have to call it at one point and say, "If you don't come proper and you don't come as a community member and as a participant, but rather an angry Karen, uh we're not going to listen to you." So, we have an area in Discord. Uh it's called our uh [ __ ] what do we call that?

[01:08:02]Sorry, I'm having an old person. The bullpen. Um I'm having an old person moment. The bullpen is where we drop ideas. And as a matter of fact, there was two ideas that were dropped in there earlier today I love. I'm going to look at them later.

[01:08:14]Um and we're going to figure out, but we listen to what you guys have to say.

[01:08:18]Uh when it's constructive, when it's helps the project. If you come in and you're [ __ ] all over us about the price and this that and the other thing and what marketing can do and what you can do, uh you should you should you should. Don't should on me, bro. Don't should on me.

[01:08:33]If if you have positive input, then let's work to get it knocked out, but don't come in and [ __ ] all over the team members who are, you know, working their asses off to make this thing happen. So, um you know, uh Flux is free to all free to all. Discord has some criteria around it, and I can tell you right now, I will not [ __ ] look at another [ __ ] session in Discord or any other platform. I'm not going to do it, and I'm not going to respond. That's a leaf that I turn over today.

[01:09:03]If you come proper and you have you're engaging us, you will 110% get a response from me and get a response from our team. But starting today, we're going to clean [ __ ] up. And that means if you come in there and you're you're complaining about stuff and this that and the other thing, you're not going to get a response. So just don't bother. If you come in creative and you're asking questions, hell yes, that's what we're here for.

[01:09:25]But we we are getting big enough now that we can't listen to the crybabies.

[01:09:31]It's just the way it is. Um Flux is very transparent.

[01:09:36]Everything you know about we know about Flux, you know about Flux. And hell, I even discovered [ __ ] today that I didn't even know we did. So, you know, let's all be creative, let's all be constructive, let's all work together as a team.

[01:09:49]And it's up to you guys, you know, if we have a customer that drops into us our Discord and they're looking at deploying on Flux and the first thing they see is a run-on [ __ ] [ __ ] session, nobody's going to deploy on that platform. So stop shooting yourself in the foot. Um I know for a fact there's been two customers that went there and there was the same person both times in their [ __ ] sessions took those customers and turned them away. And I had to spend the better part of two days of my time to bring those customers back to the platform and and basically go back and explain why this person was acting like a dumbass because that's exactly what they were doing. So, long story short, we got to all got to work together.

[01:10:31]We'll have another one of these AMAs coming up.

[01:10:34]I really appreciate everybody jumping on today.

[01:10:38]I don't know if we have our music to play us out, but uh thanks everybody for being here and look forward to chatting with you soon. If you had an AMA question that didn't get answered, Discord's a great place. You can drop a you can go to X.

[01:10:52]You can reach out to us any any way, man. We and I the one thing I want to share before I sign off on this is I appreciate everything this community does. These guys have you guys and gals have supported us through everything and uh you know, I can honestly tell you I'm as excited today as I was the first day that we launched Flux. I see the things we can do. I think see the things that we can build.

[01:11:15]I can see visions that are would take normally 5 6 7 8 maybe a year to build happen in days.

[01:11:24]Uh perfect example is Beaver AI. That was an idea I had uh from a customer meeting that I pitched to Daz and 3 days later we had it created. We built that framework that delivery model framework in place now that we can do these. So, your ideas now become even more important. If you have ideas like that and we can create them in 2 days, let's [ __ ] do it together. You know, let's roll out and do it together. So, uh without uh without getting into the weeds too deep, uh we are just getting started, man. We are just getting started and I'm super excited and I look forward to working with every one of you. So, thank you and uh come ask your questions if we didn't get them answered.
