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

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 instead

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

i found the code for this in the files!! it's in an object called obj_bushjump, it's a bit broken by default due to the assets being moved at some point and a bit of the code being fucked with/deleted for some reason, but i was able to fix it

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 ↓

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.

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!

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 below

Why is AI/Copilot so good at writing unit tests? And in this case, going from an inline request on a single method to creating an entirely new file which includes base test cases as well.

late to the party but built a UI layer on top of the wiki my OpenClaw🦞 agent writes and maintains, based on exactly what Andrej Karpathy describes here. obsidian vault underneath, react frontend on top: search, an interactive knowledge graph, topic browsing, article pages with tables of contents + neighborhood mini-graph and many more.

Markdown files are everywhere now but opening a whole code editor just to read a doc feels wrong So I made a tiny Mac app for big .md files

Claude Cowork is f*cking ridiculous 🤯 One prompt → competitive research, creative briefs, 15 hook variations, and a full performance dashboard. All saved as real files on your computer. All inside Claude Desktop. If you're spending hours every week copy-pasting between tools, pulling competitor ads manually, writing briefs from scratch, and building reports in spreadsheets ... Claude Cowork eliminates the entire loop: → Point it at your project folder with brand voice + context files → It asks YOU clarifying questions instead of guessing → It builds a multi-step plan and executes while you step away → It creates real .docx, .xlsx, .pptx files — not chat responses → It connects to Slack, Google Drive, Airtable, and 50+ tools live No copy-pasting between tools. No babysitting the AI mid-task. No downloading and re-uploading files. What you get: → Competitive research synthesized into actionable creative angles → Ad briefs, hooks, and scripts generated in your brand voice → Interactive HTML dashboards built from your own customer data → Weekly performance reports created while you're getting coffee Built 100% inside Claude Desktop with skills, plugins, and connectors. I put together a full DTC playbook: 10 workflows with copy-paste prompts, the exact setup process, and the weekly operating rhythm I use. Want it for free? > Like this post > Comment "COWORK" And I'll send it over (must be following so I can DM)
