I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this... yet Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, posted a simple idea that hit 16 million views: stop using AI to write code, use it to build a second brain. You point Claude Code at a folder, drop in any source, an article, a transcript, a PDF, and Claude reads it, links it, and files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest, the more you feed it, the smarter it gets. Here's the whole thing: > Install Obsidian, create a vault, open it in Claude Code > Paste Karpathy's wiki idea file and tell Claude to build it > Claude makes three folders: raw for sources, wiki for its pages, a CLAUDE.md that runs it > Drop any source into raw and say "ingest this" > Ask questions across everything, forever Five minutes to set up, and you never start from a blank chat again.

AN ANTHROPIC LEAD ENGINEER ACCIDENTALLY LEAKED HIS PERSONAL OBSIDIAN.... INSIDE - NOT CODE OR PROMPTS, BUT A DIAGRAM OF HIS OWN BRAIN, ORGANIZED AS A NEURAL NETWORK 8,893 nodes. 4,729 connections. A $10/month app opens Obsidian. 21 inputs, ReLU on every layer. The first hidden layer has 26 neurons, followed by 33, then 24, and so on all the way to the output. Thousands of connections flash in real time this isn’t a conceptual diagram from a blog, but a living brain that powers decision-making within the company. 9,000 documents, each with its own semantic space, all interconnected it earns about $2m a year for sorting Markdown files into the right folders. The company that builds the world’s best AI maintains its internal knowledge base in the same app that a freshman uses for class notes three years of discipline and a single open Obsidian tab you’re reading this on a device where, tonight, you can open that same Obsidian and start building your own vaultshow more

An Asian guy discovered a method to learn any... knowledge fast using AI. The key is Claude + Obsidian. Most people learn slowly: read, forget, read again, forget again. His method: use Claude to break any content into small, interconnected notes. Use Obsidian to link them, so every piece of knowledge is never isolated. Slow method: highlight books, keep going, forget after a week. Fast method: Claude breaks it into atomic notes, Obsidian links them into a network. Six months later, a new idea instantly connects to twenty things you already know. I compiled the full A–Z guide to building this second brain with Claude and Obsidian that most people have never discovered. Article belowshow more

THIS GUY TURNS NOTES, DOCUMENTS, AND IDEAS INTO AN... AI SECOND BRAIN the system stores all the context of your work and helps claude not forget anything how to build one yourself: install obsidian connect claude code keep your projects, notes, and sessions in one vault link similar ideas together use the graph to discover new connections as a result, claude gets memory of your projects and understands the context without you constantly having to explain everything the more you work, the smarter the system gets don’t collect notes build connections between them insteadshow more

HE BUILT A 100% PRIVATE SECOND BRAIN IN OBSIDIAN... TO AUTOMATE HIS RESEARCH USING HERMES AGENT AND NOTEBOOKLM He visualizes his entire knowledge graph on-premise without paying for cloud subscriptions By connecting Hermes Agent and NotebookLM, developers can index hundreds of documents and generate content locally Four components of this local knowledge architecture: 1. Memory layer - set up an Obsidian PARA vault to store markdown notes and profiles 2. Agent layer - connect Hermes Agent to write files and run background scripts 3. Synthesis layer - use NotebookLM to create structured overviews from raw transcripts 4. Automation layer - trigger cron tasks to synchronize files and calendar standups The setup saves over $4,000 annually while keeping all private files offline Get the full step-by-step configuration guide and setup commands in the article below ↓show more

LLM Knowledge Base → Slides When Andrej Karpathy shared... his LLM Knowledge Base setup, many were wondering how to generate more visual forms of the wiki. There are many options, but I think Gamma is one of the best at producing high-quality, rich presentations. To showcase this, I just built a pipeline that turns my AI papers wiki (1K+ papers across 20 AI agent topics) into polished slide presentations using Gamma. The flow: Obsidian vault → Gamma MCP → embedded preview in my dashboard. I give one command to my agent, which pulls the top papers from each topic (via the wiki), feeds them to Gamma, and renders the presentation inline. The Gamma connector for Claude is a great choice for generating beautiful and professional slides. Easy to use. Go to your Claude instance and add the official Gamma connector. That's it! Claude Code will now have access to all the necessary MCP tools for generating slides. I use the Claude Agent SDK for my agent orchestrator, so I use the official Gamma MCP tools and embed the generated slides in an iframe via my artifact preview. See the clip below for an example.show more

Hyped to share this – I recently built an... AI chat plugin for Obsidian using Cursor Composer. I've been using it for the last couple weeks and its totally changed how I use Obsidian. I use it to reflect, generate ideas, plan my day, and more. It's also great at being a search-and-synthesis machine for my 2,000+ notes – like having a Perplexity for my brain. If you're an Obsidian power user and want to try out the alpha, reply below and I'll DM you details!show more

Introducing: OpenGranola 🔥 I built an open source meeting... copilot for macOS. It transcribes both sides of your call on-device, searches your own notes in real time, and hands you talking points right when the conversation needs them. No audio leaves your Mac. Point it at a folder of markdown files, pick any LLM through OpenRouter (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Llama), and it just works. It's invisible to screen share too — nobody knows you have it. The whole thing is open source. Link belowshow more

I just built a Google Ads Builder in Claude... Code that turns one URL into a complete, launch-ready campaign 🤯 Point it at your website and it builds the whole Google Search campaign — keywords, ad groups, every headline, the negative list — structured the way a good paid-search manager would. All inside Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who need Search live but don't have days to build it right. If you're staring at a blank Google Ads account, researching keywords one browser tab at a time, writing 15 headlines per ad group to a 30-character limit, guessing at a negative list while budget quietly leaks on junk clicks... This builds the entire campaign from a single input — your homepage URL: → Reads your site and works out what you sell and who for → Groups keywords into tight, high-intent ad groups → Writes every Responsive Search Ad — 15 headlines, 4 descriptions, to Google's exact limits → Builds a negative-keyword list so you stop paying for junk clicks → Adds sitelinks, callouts, match types, bidding, and a budget split → Exports a Google Ads Editor CSV you import in one click No blank-account paralysis. No keyword rabbit holes. No character-counting 60 headlines by hand. What you get: → A launch-ready campaign from just your URL → Tight ad groups built for Quality Score, not a keyword dump → Every ad written to Google's limits and policy → A one-click CSV import plus a full campaign dashboard Built 100% in Claude Code. No API keys, no Google Ads login. And I'm not sending a playbook this time — I'm giving the whole skill away for free. The actual file. Install it and build your own campaign in 5 minutes.

Karpathy method + Claude Code reading your whole Obsidian... vault is the smartest second brain on earth. The method is simple and brutal. If you can’t build a thing from scratch, you don’t know it. Tutorials are fake learning and your brain deletes them in 3 days. Most people ignore this. They build a second brain that just sits there, folders of notes nobody reopens, dead text. Point Claude Code at the vault and it wakes up. 5,000 notes, one mind. It reads all of it and answers in your own words and your own proofs, not a model’s guess. Then the loop closes. Want to understand neural nets? Skip the 3-hour video and ask Claude Code to build a tiny one. 200 lines from scratch. Watch it train, break a layer, watch it fail, fix it. It clicks in 20 minutes instead of 3 weeks. The second it lands the note gets written. One idea per file, linked to 10 others, dropped into the vault while the memory is still hot. Now it compounds. Month 1: is 60 notes. Month 6 is 900. Every new note pulls in old ones, so you ask anything and the answer comes from your brain, not the internet. Before: 40 tabs, 6 half read PDF, 0 retained. After: build it once, own it for life. Setup takes 4 minutes. Plain text, no lock-in. A second brain nobody reads is a graveyard. Yours just started thinking.show more

Realising you have been measuring your note-taking system by... how many notes you have when the only metric that actually matters is how many times a note contributed to a decision, a piece of writing, or an action. Most notes in Obsidian never get used. Not because the information was not valuable. Because every note-taking system optimises for capturing and ignores using entirely. Someone built a five-workflow Obsidian system designed from the opposite end. The contribution rate compounds from the first processed note. Here is the full build nobody is talking about.show more
