An China guy discovered a method to learn any knowledge instantly using AI. The key is Obsidian + any AI — Kimi, Claude, or Gemini. Most people learn slowly: read, forget, read again, forget again. His method: use AI to transform 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: AI 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 a second brain with Obsidian — works with Kimi, Claude, or Gemini — that most people have never discovered. Article belowshow more

An asian guy has discovered a method to learn anything ten times faster using AI! It just involves the Claude + Obsidian. Most people learn the slow way: read, forget, re-read, forget again. His flip: use Claude to turn anything you're learning into small, connected notes. Use Obsidian to link them so nothing you learn ever sits alone. The slow way: highlight a book, move on, forget it in a week. The fast way: Claude breaks it into atomic notes, and Obsidian links them into a growing web of knowledge. Six months in, one new idea instantly connects to twenty things you already know. I broke down every Claude resource you should try to master claude in 7 days with practical guide that most people have never found. Article below ↓

Andrej Karpathy quietly shipped the best second brain idea in years not an app. a pattern. let an llm maintain a wiki of your notes. you dump sources, it reads them, links them, files them. knowledge compounds like interest. someone built it into a free claude code plugin. setup is two commands: claude plugin marketplace add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian claude plugin install claude-obsidian@agricidaniel-claude-obsidian then open obsidian, open claude code in the same folder, type /wiki. that's it. your notes are now queryable by claude and they get richer every time you read something. bookmark this. best thing you'll build this weekend.

Obsidian Bases are better than Notion databases. Most people never use them because they're too technical. This Claude skill changes this: Bases automatically aggregate notes from your vault into a structured table. I have dozens of bases; the one in the video replaces the reference manager, for instance. Problem: Most struggle with setting them up. There's now a skill built by one of the Obsidian developers that runs inside Claude. The skill scans your vault and automatically generates the base. The hardest Obsidian feature to learn. Solved with one sentence.

A 26-YEAR-OLD AI ENGINEER WHOSE BIRMINGHAM THESIS OUTPERFORMED GOOGLE SCHOLAR BY 50% JUST SHIPPED GRAPHIFY: ONE COMMAND TURNS ANY FOLDER INTO A CLAUDE CODE SECOND BRAIN Safi Shamsi built Graphify 48 hours after Karpathy posted his LLM wiki idea. It turns any folder, codebase, docs, PDFs, into a knowledge graph Claude reads instead of grepping. Up to 43x fewer tokens per query. The trick almost nobody is using yet: one flag exports the entire graph as a fully-linked Obsidian vault. Repo: /safishamsi/graphify Setup, end to end: 1. Install: uv tool install graphifyy (or pipx install graphifyy). Verify with graphify --version. 2. Install the skill in Claude Code: graphify claude install. This wires Graphify into Claude Code so you can call it as a skill. 3. Open the folder you want mapped in Claude Code. In the terminal: graphify . It extracts every concept and builds the graph in graphify-out/. 4. Export to Obsidian: graphify . --obsidian. Writes one note per concept, every relationship as a wikilink, every node linked back to its source. 5. Open the new vault in Obsidian (Manage vaults → Open folder as a vault), or drag it as a subfolder into your existing one. That's it. Your Claude Code instance now has a navigable map of the codebase that loads instantly instead of re-reading files every session.

This guy took notes in Obsidian every single day for 1 full year. 365 days. No breaks or skipped weeks. He started with 0 notes and 0 connections. Just an empty vault and a habit he was not sure would stick. His second brain remembered everything. This is exactly the problem I was trying to solve when I built my Web Clipper templates. Most people clip articles and books into Obsidian and never touch them again. I spent 4 months testing 6 templates on everything from dense research papers to 500 page books until I found what actually turns captured information into connected thinking. Full breakdown in my article👇

Claude Code + Obsidian + 1 free GitHub skill = unlimited memory. Almost nobody is running this yet. Here’s the problem nobody tells you. Claude forgets you. Every new chat starts at 0. You re explain your business, your projects, your style every single time. That tax is why most people never compound anything with AI. The fix is 1 skill. It’s called Obsidian Mind. It turns your Obsidian vault into Claude’s long term brain. 2,000 notes, 14 projects, every idea you’ve ever dumped Claude reads it live and writes back to it live. It stops being a chatbot. It becomes a second brain that builds. What it does: → Bridges Claude Code straight into your vault. → Pulls any note in real time no copy paste, no context limit. → Updates your vault as you work Claude writes its own memory. → Links everything into 1 graph Claude can navigate. Day 1: Claude knows your last 6 months. Week 2: it drafts off your own past notes. Week 4: it’s running plays you forgot you wrote down. The people making real money with AI right now aren’t smarter. They just stopped starting from 0 every morning. Setup takes 11 minutes. The skill is free. You’ll have a brain that never forgets.

Karpathy gave 100,000 people the LLM Wiki idea. 1 guy actually built it into a Claude + Obsidian brain that never forgets you. Every AI tool forgets you the second you close the tab. ChatGPT, Claude, Codex. All gone. He killed that. A shared memory layer your AI builds and maintains on its own. 3 layers. Raw, Wiki, Schema. You drop a source, Claude reads it, pulls the concepts, links them, cites the original, never touches your raw notes. Scales to 1,000s of notes without breaking. Then it goes deeper. An agentic firewall locks agents out of your other vaults. A local model running free and private, zero cloud. 2 videos walk through it all. 1 on why. 1 on the build, start to finish. Most people will keep pasting the same context into 6 tabs for the next 3 years. Build it once. Never explain yourself to a model again.

Most people start Obsidian the wrong way. They import 10,000 notes. Build 50 folders. Install 20 plugins. Then quit a week later. If I had to restart Obsidian today, I’d do the opposite: • Start with 5 meaningful notes • Create ZERO folders • Ignore plugins completely • Focus only on connecting ideas That’s the real unlock. Obsidian isn’t a notes app. It’s a personal internet for your mind. The magic happens when you use one simple prompt: “This reminds me of…” A quote links to a book. A book links to a song. A song links to a memory. A memory links to an insight. That’s how real thinking compounds. The goal isn’t collecting information. It’s building connections your brain can return to later. AI can summarize notes. But only YOU can create meaningful links between ideas. That’s where the leverage is. Follow Dami-Defi for more AI alpha.

I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet. Andrej Karpathy, OpenAI co-founder, posted a simple idea that went massively viral: 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. Claude reads it, links it, 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: 1) Install Obsidian 2) Create a vault 3) Open it in Claude Code 4) Paste Karpathy's wiki idea and tell Claude to build it 5) Claude makes three folders: - raw (for sources) - wiki (for its pages) - CLAUDE. md (that runs it) 6) Drop any source into raw and say: "ingest this" 7) Ask questions across everything, forever Five minutes to set up and you never start from a blank chat again. Full step by step guide below.

This beginner guide to Karpathy's LLM Wiki is one of the most useful AI videos i've shared this year Karpathy's idea: instead of asking AI questions every time, make it build you a permanent knowledge base that grows smarter over time > drop your documents into a folder > Claude reads them and builds a structured wiki in Obsidian > every time you add a new source, Claude Sonnet updates existing pages and links new ideas > ask complex questions - Claude Opus answers from the organized wiki, not raw files it's like having a researcher who never forgets and connects dots across everything you've ever given it full setup guide is in the video above

5,000 notes in Obsidian and none of them producing anything Most notes 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. AI IS TURNING OBSIDIAN INTO A KNOWLEDGE ENGINE. Not because it captures better. Because it retrieves better. The average person has valuable insights buried in thousands of notes they never revisit. Claude changes that. It finds forgotten connections. Surfaces relevant context. Builds decision briefs. Generates writing from accumulated knowledge. The result: Less searching. More thinking. The future of note-taking isn't saving information. It's activating it.

You can build an AI second brain in 15 minutes. No coding experience needed. no $1000 course [Here is how you can do it in 5 mins:] Step 1: Download Claude Desktop. Step 2: Download Obsidian Desktop. Step 3: Create a new vault and start dropping .MD files into it. Step 4: Tell Claude Code to connect directly to your vault using Andrej Karpathy's prompt: That is it. Your entire knowledge base becomes searchable, connectable, and queryable by the most powerful AI model on earth. Every note you have ever written. Every idea you have ever captured. Every resource you have ever saved. Claude can now read all of it, find connections you missed, and surface insights from your own thinking that you forgot you had. Most people are using Claude as a search engine. The people building second brains with it are using it as an intelligence layer on top of everything they know. The gap between those two use cases is the gap between asking Google a question and having a research partner who has read everything you have ever written. Bookmark this. Build it tonight.

Noah Brier (Noah Brier) uses Claude Code as his second brain—it’s the coolest notetaking setup I’ve ever seen. He has Claude running on a server in his basement hooked up to a VPN. It stores, reads, and writes to thousands of notes in his Obsidian (Obsidian) vault. He does it all from his phone. I had him on the show to tell us exactly how he’s pulling this off. We get into: - The nuts and bolts of the Claude Code-Obsidian setup: Noah set up Claude Code on top of his Obsidian root directory, and he walked me through how he uses it to prep for an upcoming speech—creating a project folder, pulling in relevant research from his notes, saving transcripts from chats with other LLMs, and generating daily progress updates. - The “thinking partner” that lives inside Noah’s second brain: Noah points out that in the hype around AI’s ability to write, the fact that it can read is overlooked. That’s why he has an agent inside Claude Code with strict guardrails to stay in “thinking mode.” It logs his questions, tracks insights, and catches him up on research if he returns to a project after a few days away. - How Noah does deep work on his phone: Noah rigged a home server in his basement, put his Obsidian vault in it—and then runs Claude Code on top. Noah says that being able to think, write, research, and ship code from his phone has fundamentally changed the way he works. This episode of Every 📧’s AI & I is a must-watch for anyone curious about who wants to learn how to use Claude Code to build a true second brain. Watch below!
