I HAVEN’T OPENED A SINGLE BOOK THIS MONTH. CLAUDE READ 34 OF THEM FOR ME I built a vault in Obsidian, connected Claude and added Notebooklm went to sleep woke up with flashcards, mind maps, and an AI that answers from my own notes only my friends are still highlighting pdfs manually the only thing separating us is one setup: claude + obsidian + notebooklm every idea captured. every book processed. zero knowledge lost if this is the setup you’ve been looking for - like & bookmark so you don’t lose it

THIS IS WHAT YOUR SECOND BRAIN SHOULD LOOK LIKE most people dump notes into obsidian and call it a second brain it’s not a second brain it’s a second drawer karpathy just dropped the pattern that changes this and it’s called the llm wiki every time you add a source ai reads it, extracts key claims, updates every connected note and flags contradictions your obsidian stops being an archive and starts being alive save this and show it to someone still using notion as a second brain full breakdown in the article ↓

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 below

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. Full step-by-step guide with Claude and Obsidian, link below. Bookmark this

🚨BREAKING: Google just merged Gemini and NotebookLM into one unified workspace and it changes everything about how you use AI for deep work. It's called Notebooks in Gemini and it's the personal knowledge base that power users have been begging for. You create a notebook for a project, drop in your files, PDFs, and documents, give Gemini custom instructions, and every chat you have stays organized in one place. No more hunting through old conversations. No more re-uploading the same files every session. The wildest part is the sync. Anything you add in Gemini automatically appears in NotebookLM. Anything you add in NotebookLM automatically appears in Gemini. One source of truth. Two powerful apps. Zero friction switching between them. So you can start a research notebook in Gemini, ask it questions all week, then flip to NotebookLM to generate a Cinematic Video Overview from the same material. Next morning, open Gemini and ask it to write a full report on exactly what you just watched. That workflow used to take three apps and a lot of copy-pasting. Now it's one notebook. Rolling out this week to Google AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus subscribers on web. Mobile and free users coming soon. What do you think?

A CHINESE TRADER BUILT A SECOND BRAIN IN OBSIDIAN THAT GENERATES 3 TRADING IDEAS EVERY MORNING AT 6AM AND MADE $180,000 IN 6 MONTHS. No Bloomberg terminal. No analytics desk. No team of analysts. A Mac Mini by the wall. An iPhone in his pocket. One local Obsidian vault. Six N8N pipelines running 24/7, pulling every article he reads, every podcast he listens to, and every voice note he drops into a Telegram bot—directly into the vault. Every night, a neural network reads across 4,000 connected notes and finds the strongest connections between fresh information and old theses. Every morning at 6AM, a brief lands in his inbox: - 3 trading ideas with confidence scores - The emerging thesis of the week - Any note that contradicts an active position The system only wakes him up when a fresh note contradicts his thesis, or when an idea breaks 90% confidence. Everything else runs without him. The monthly bill: $120 in API costs. The monthly return: approximately $30,000 into the account. Traditional quant funds pay teams of 8 people to produce the same flow of insights. He pays $120 and a Mac Mini. The full system breakdown is in the article below.

🚨 JUST IN: CHINA just released an AI EMPLOYEE that works 24X7 on its own. 100% OPEN SOURCE. It researches, codes, builds websites, creates slide decks, and generates videos. All by itself. All on your computer. It's called DeerFlow. You give it a task. It makes a plan, spins up its own team of sub-agents, and gets to work. You come back and there's a finished deliverable waiting. Not a draft. Not a summary. The actual thing. Not a chatbot. Not a research assistant. An AI with its own computer that works while you sleep. Here's what it does on its own: → Spawns multiple sub-agents in parallel, each tackling a different piece of your task, then combines everything into one finished output → Writes real code, runs it, reads the results, and fixes its own mistakes without asking you once → Builds slide decks, websites, full research reports, and data dashboards from scratch → Remembers you across sessions. Your writing style. Your tech stack. Your preferences. Gets better every time. → Reads files you upload, works with them inside its own filesystem, hands you clean finished outputs → Searches the web, runs commands, calls any tool you plug in Here's how it thinks: You give one instruction. The lead agent makes a plan. Sub-agents fan out and work in parallel. Results come back. Everything gets synthesized. You get a deliverable. A single research task might split into a dozen sub-agents, each exploring a different angle, then converge into one finished website with generated visuals. Here's the wildest part: DeerFlow 2.0 launched on February 28th 2026 and hit number 1 on all of GitHub Trending the same day. Version 2.0 was a complete rewrite. Zero shared code with version 1. Because users kept using it for things the team never intended. Data pipelines. Dashboards. Entire content workflows. The community told them what it needed to become. So they burned it down and rebuilt it. 22.7K GitHub stars. 2.7K forks. Built by ByteDance 100% Open Source. MIT License.

THIS MAN HASN’T HAD A SINGLE ORIGINAL IDEA IN 8 WEEKS. CLAUDE HAS ALL OF THEM BEFORE HE WAKES UP he gave claude his obsidian vault on a saturday by monday it found a link between two notes written 6 weeks apart in different folders he turned that connection into his best-performing post his competitors are still organizing folders and writing morning pages and brainstorming in notion the only difference is one file called CLAUDE.md every note = fuel and every morning = synthesis and every week = ideas compounding faster than he can publish them this is not a tool anymore and this is not even an assistant this is a second brain that studied you for 2 months straight bookmark & like this or lose it forever

HERMES AGENT HAS A SECOND BRAIN. 1,100+ KNOWLEDGE FILES. AUTO-LINKED. SELF-IMPROVING. GROWING EVERY NIGHT. THIS IS THE OBSIDIAN GRAPH BEHIND IT. every dot = one knowledge file (markdown) every line = one wiki-link between files every color = one category (skills, notes, decisions, sources, entities) HOW IT BUILDS ITSELF: Hermes ships with a bundled LLM Wiki skill. based on Andrej Karpathy's pattern. unlike RAG (rediscovers knowledge from scratch every query), the wiki compiles knowledge once and keeps it current. when you feed the agent a source: → it reads the content → writes a structured markdown page → auto-links to every related existing page → flags contradictions with previous entries → updates all affected pages one source in. multiple connections created. the graph grows denser with every entry. WHAT FEEDS THE WIKI: → articles and URLs you find interesting → meeting transcripts → PDF documents and research papers → conversation history from Hermes sessions → Claude Code and Codex session history → Slack logs, email threads, saved notes → YouTube transcripts → raw text dropped into a _raw/ folder the obsidian-wiki package supports multi-agent ingest from Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Pi, Windsurf, and ChatGPT exports. install: pip install obsidian-wiki obsidian-wiki setup --vault ~/wiki AUTOMATE THE GROWTH: set cron jobs to feed the wiki overnight: "every day at 9am, check for new meetings. ingest transcripts into the wiki." "every week, check arXiv for new papers in [niche]. summarize and file into the wiki." "every day, ingest today's Hermes sessions into the wiki under session-history." month 1: 50 entries. scattered. month 3: 300+ entries. cross-referenced. month 6: 1,000+ entries. the agent surfaces patterns you never searched for. WHY OBSIDIAN: the wiki is plain markdown files. no database. no lock-in. open it in Obsidian for graph view: → nodes show knowledge density → links show how ideas connect → clusters reveal your strongest domains → orphan nodes reveal gaps Hermes writes from a VPS. Obsidian reads on your laptop. obsidian-headless syncs without a GUI. agent writes from the server, you browse on your device. FOUR MEMORY LAYERS: Layer 1: memory.md + user.md (~2,200 + 1,375 chars. short-term.) Layer 2: SQLite with FTS5 (full session transcripts. searchable.) Layer 3: external providers (Mem0, SuperMemory, Honcho. optional.) Layer 4: Obsidian wiki via LLM Wiki skill (unlimited. compounding. the long-term brain.) layers 1-3 handle memory. layer 4 handles knowledge. the graph in this post is layer 4. SETUP: set in Desktop app, Dashboard, or config.yaml: WIKI_PATH=~/wiki OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH=~/wiki first run: Hermes asks for your domain. answer with your niche. the skill builds SCHEMA.md with tag taxonomy. after that: "index this into my wiki: [URL or text]" the wiki grows. the graph densifies. the agent gets smarter because the knowledge base got smarter. full 15 levels breakdown in the article 👇

SOMEONE BUILT AN OPEN-SOURCE JARVIS WITH 9 AGENTS AND 5 MEMORY BACKENDS AND YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR DEVICE Every time you message ChatGPT or Claude your data hits a server you don't control, gets processed by infrastructure you're paying for and comes back with zero guarantee of what happened in between. OpenJarvis runs the entire stack locally - 9 agent types, 5 memory backends, a learning loop that gets smarter every day and a morning digest that connects to Google Drive and surfaces what matters before you open a single app. Most AI tools are exactly as dumb on day 100 as they were on day 1 because they forget everything when the window closes - this one indexes your documents once and automatically injects relevant context into every prompt forever. Custom agent setup for a client is $500-2,000 one time and AI infrastructure retainer is $300-800 a month - and your cost is one afternoon and an open source repo. The repo is free. The advantage it creates is not.

ANTHROPIC'S LEAD ENGINEER ACCIDENTALLY LEAKED HIS PERSONAL OBSIDIAN VAULT. INSIDE - NO CODE, NO PROMPTS. JUST A SCHEMATIC OF HIS OWN MIND, BUILT LIKE A NEURAL NETWORK 8,893 nodes. 4,729 links. A $10-a-month app opens Obsidian. 21 inputs, 10+ hidden layers, ReLU activation. First layer 64 neurons, then 37, then 22, all the way to the output. Thousands of connections firing in real time this isn't a concept diagram from a blog - it's a living brain that actually runs decisions inside the company. 9,000 documents, each its own knowledge space, all interconnected he makes around $2M a year for putting markdown files into the right folders. The company building the best AI in the world manages its internal knowledge with the same app a college freshman uses for lecture notes. hasn't written a single line of infrastructure for any of it. three years of discipline and one open Obsidian tab you're reading this on a device where you could open the same Obsidian tonight and start building your own vault

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.
