🧠 The AI Second Brain (Cohort 2) - enrollment closes September 15: https://bit.ly/3S5stbu Nick Milo has spent longer at the intersection of Obsidian and AI than almost anyone I know, so this time, I gave him the keys to my vault. More about Nick's 3-file system here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbHB-rzKBAs This is the full, unedited session behind the video you already watched. I open my vault and ask Nick what he notices before we even mention AI: the folders, the graph, the notes I never finished. Then we bring AI in. We back everything up first, compare three ways to connect AI to a vault, and land on the three files that make you legible to any AI tool you use. Halfway through, we run a real experiment. I ask Claude to write a dossier on my next book from nothing but my own notes, then turn it into a live Map of Content. Nick breaks down why that process works more like thinking than filing, and where it can go wrong. By the end, we land on the real bottleneck: your notes are probably scattered across eight or ten different apps, and no AI fixes that for you. Owning your notes matters more than which AI you pick. ✉️ Join my newsletter for weekly productivity and AI insights: https://bit.ly/4ttx4SK 0:00 Nick Milo reads my vault like an X-ray 6:11 Rule one: never let AI touch your original notes 9:06 Backup first: the 2-second AI mirror vault 11:33 The simplest way to connect AI to your vault, safely 14:17 One button, total control: folders are your AI privacy dial 15:46 The 3 files that make you legible to any AI 17:00 AIOS: own the land you think on, not the AI tool 20:41 The PageRank trick: why more links make you more legible to AI 23:34 The assignment: "write a dossier about me" 27:53 The precision trick: point AI at one note, not your whole vault 30:56 The Sherpa system: reverse-engineering a great Map of Content 32:59 A Map of Content isn't a table of contents, it's ideation 35:51 Grading the dossier Claude just wrote 37:11 One folder for everything AI creates 42:04 Put AI's wikilinks to a real test 49:30 Stress-testing AI's take against the real marketing plan 53:04 Why a summary of a summary loses its soul 55:20 Real blind spots vs. AI's closed-universe problem 58:54 The real bottleneck: your knowledge lives in 8 different apps 60:20 Teach AI about you, not the other way around
