Most people don't realize the value of building an AI second brain, what an AI second brain even is, or how to even set one up. But, it is the highest leverage move that you can make with AI right now, and you can set it up in three easy steps. All you need is Claude and Obsidian. Let me show you how. First, what is an AI second brain? At its core, it's just a bunch of files that your AI can read that knows everything about you, your business, your projects, the content you consume, your thoughts, everything. It is meant to be a literal extension of your brain. And once you set it up properly, it never sleeps, never forgets anything, and it gets smarter every day you use it. It doesn't matter if you're a solopreneur, a business owner, or employee, building this is going to be incredibly valuable for you. So, here's how to set it up. Step one is to download Obsidian and create a vault. All this is is a folder on your computer. And then download Claude Code and point it at that folder. Or if you're scared of Claude Code, just use Cohere in the desktop app instead. Inside of this folder, you're going to make two subfolders. First one's going to be called raw, and this is going to be where you dump everything. And then the second one is going to be called wiki, which is where Claude organizes everything for you. And then step three, which is the part that matters most, is to take every article that you read, every note that you take, every meeting transcript, and then every half-finished idea that you have in your notes app. And you are going to drop all of this into the raw folder. Then you start asking questions, things like where are the gaps in my knowledge? Write me a briefing on this topic. Or if you're in content, ask it to generate content ideas based on your previous conversations. Claude is going to read through your entire vault and then answer with citations. And it actually saves every single answer back into the wiki. So, that way you can get smarter every single day. I made a detailed guide that walks you through the whole thing, setting up Claude and Obsidian, and the exact prompts that you can steal to go and have it build the folder structure for you. Comment brain and I'll send it to you.
