Andre Kapathi is the godfather of modern AI. He was one of the founding members of ChatGPT,
the director of AI at Tesla, literally the man behind self driving cars. And he believes that 99%
of businesses are using AI completely wrong. There's no memory, no real context, and no alignment or automation towards their actual business goal. So Andre created a game changing system called your AI second brain. This system is so powerful that even his highly technical tweet about it reached over 20,000,000
people. And that's because Kapathi's simple system is like having a thousand IQ employee
who gets smarter every conversation you have, knows exactly what your business goals are, and even autonomously
builds towards them while you sleep. Kapathi's second brain is likely the missing piece to your AI system and is even known to collapse a month of work into a single day. So I made this video to help you understand exactly how it works, how to set it up personalized to you and your business in the next ten minutes. So let's jump in.
Alright. So we're gonna start with what not to do, which is what most people are actually doing. This is how most people are using AI at the moment. Here we are. We are in the bubble bath, and we're interacting with our favorite LLM. We're gonna use Claude in this example in order
to use the entire training dataset of the Internet, the average IQ, the victim mindset, the stuff you don't believe in, the stuff you don't want anything to do with, it's all getting jumbled, mixed into your training data, and giving you very average AI slop output, whether that be images, whether that be web pages, whether that be answering emails, doing customer service, planning the day for you, planning your business goals. It is not catered towards your needs. This is a generalist
way of using AI, which most people are stuck in at the moment. However,
Andre Kapathi has come to our rescue with a specialist
approach,
which looks way more like this. Here we are. We're still enjoying our bubble bath. We can run our business from wherever we want these days. We're interacting with Claude
who does not go straight to the whole Internet. Of course, he still has access to the whole Internet and that whole training set, but we have a filter
using Obsidian,
using this file structure that will take our prompts and filter them through our goals, our business context, all our business data and history, our schema, our rules, our flow,
everything that we do believe in, everything that is relevant to you and your goals and your needs, then it will access the Internet and refilter it back through that filter before giving you a specific
masterpiece
output. And I've only just started using this for my business, which I'm gonna show you in just a second, but guys, the difference in the outputs
are insane.
And apparently,
because this is the next best thing about this system is it's a self learning system, they're only gonna get better, smarter, and more catered to you and your business needs in the future because every time you make a query, every time you need something done, every time you give feedback on anything,
Obsidian and Claude are going to be in a self learning loop where the output and the feedback will get fed back into your directory and make it smarter and smarter over time. Because Claude will update its own memory and know everything it needs to know about your business needs, so it's not going to be a flat line of knowledge over time. But for the first time ever, it's gonna have compounding knowledge and even be able to show you where the holes in your knowledge around your business and goals and action steps might be. Okay. So the anatomy of your business second brain looks like this.
On the far left, we have all the data, all the raw files,
everything that you could possibly feed an LLM or AI about your business. That is gonna go into this folder right here. We're gonna walk through this together in a second. Then we have a schema, which is basically a rule book of rules for the AI to follow when handling your data, how to sort it, how to it's basically Andre Kapathi's rule book. You don't need to necessarily create your own, but of course you can. But we're gonna borrow Andre Kapathi's rule book in order to produce a Wikipedia
centered around everything
that is going on in your business. And the nice thing about this too is the AI is gonna take care of everything
except the very first step of feeding it all of the data. So let's jump in. I'll show you how to set this up for yourself. Step one, you're gonna need an app called Obsidian,
which is a very simple,
software, sorta like a Notion that allows you to visually represent
your notes and the connections to them, sorta like a neural network right here. It's gonna be the best way to actually be viewing
our business Wikipedia or our Second AI brain. Uh, so you come and click get Obsidian for Mac OS or if you're on PC, grab it for PC. And of course, you're going to need to download Claude or Claude Code. I'm personally gonna be using it over here in the terminal, but it's up to you. If you wanna use it inside the app, like the desktop app, that's totally fine. Or if you wanna use another IDE,
that also works. This here is Andre Kapathi's
viral tweet. And tell me, how does such a technical tweet about AI and data ingesting and linting
get 21,000,000
views? Well, I honestly, I'm shocked, but it is why that a system like this is so important because it's it's what AI is missing at the moment. I'm gonna show you when we've run some examples just how good the outputs are when you actually use Andre Kapathi's system. So it went so viral that Andre Kapathi came back and actually improved
his, uh, he made an idea file, first of all, for us to simply download and pull into our Claude's, but he also improved it from his original tweet. So if you come and click on this link in here,
I'll link in the description below so you don't have to go fussyking around the Internet for it. You can see it comes to his GitHub gist, and it's an LLM Wiki. We're gonna be adapting this to business specific, but of course, you can use it for anything. Even Andre Kapathi uses it in a personal fashion as well. So what we wanna do is we wanna come and click on that raw button right there. It's gonna give us the m d file or just the text file. Gonna command a, command c just to copy all that over.
Now I have that copied. We wanna make our first Obsidian Vault together. Come down to the bottom. If you have a welcome screen, you'll probably just, uh, create new vault there. But you wanna come down to manage vaults. Your welcome screen might look something like this. On the create new vault part, you click create.
And our vault name, uh, the name of my brand is Dreamlabs
AI. So that's what I'm gonna be calling my vault because it's going to be my second brain for my business. Where do I want to actually put my new vault? I'm just gonna click browse, click on desktop, that's fine, and create it. So you can see this is pulled in a brand new vault, and you can see there's a welcome page right here. Don't delete this welcome page because Andre Kapathi is a smart man. He's actually got a transform function for this welcome page when you use his idea. So we're gonna go back and paste
our copied
text, which was 91 lines of Andre Kapathi's idea file. And then I'm gonna record a little bit in here just giving it some guidance. So I'm gonna hold down my record button. Hi. I just pasted in an idea file from Andre Kapathi.
Can you please use the vault in Obsidian called Dreamlabs
AI
to build this out for me? Thank you. I'm going to stop that right there and just send that over to my Claude. And this is where Claude code will do all of the heavy lifting for us, and and it's going to go and set it up. So it says, got it. Let me build out the LLM Wiki pattern in your Dreamlabs AI vault.
First, let me find the vault. So it's gonna come over here and actually find the vault that we just set up. Okay. So it took a little bit of time, but it finally found the vault. Now And it's gonna look at what is in there. So it's find that found that vault folder right here. It says the vault is fresh. It's just a welcome file. Let me set up the LLM Wiki pattern. So we've got one, two, three, four, five things that it's going to go through. It's got create the directory structure, which is currently working right now. Then it's gonna write a Claude MD schema. So that's the part two. The rule book of what your Wiki and your Claude is going to be following. Create an index MD and a log. I'll tell you about that in a second. Update the welcome m d into a guide. That's how they're gonna transform that. You can already see over here, uh, inside of our Obsidian,
you can see it's got a raw folder. And inside raw, it's got assets. It's got a wiki folder, which has got concepts, entities, sources, and synthesis,
which is following Andrei Kapathi's exact layout. You can also see now it's got a Claude MD file, an index MD file, a log file. Now this log file will actually track every interaction that you're having with your Obsidian vault or with your, uh, second brain. And you can see over here on the right in the graph view, you're already starting to see it actually build out some form of a neural looking network. And you can see it has now transformed
this welcome into exactly how to use this, uh, wiki, which you can go through and read if you want, but we're gonna be doing it together on this video, which will be much easier for you. And so while it builds out that last step, I'm gonna come over here and show you exactly what we're going to be doing together to make this personalized to you and your business. So this is the raw In the raw. Data section. This is what you are in command of. This is basically the only thing that we need to do. So if you've got a Google Drive with your business, if you've PDFs that you have to do with your business, if you've got videos or transcripts from YouTube or even Instagram Reels, whatever you create for your business, anything with your business information or content that you create regularly, uh, if you got emails, if you got messages, if you got notes or files, any raw data,
this system can ingest into your Wikipedia.
So for myself,
I've got my business goals that are going to go in there. I've got transcripts from my first six videos on this channel that are gonna go into there. I've also got articles. Now these articles aren't articles that I've personally written, but they're articles that are sort of lighting the path of the direction that my business wants to go. And I wanna talk to you a little bit more about that in just a second. Then I've got the project. I've got my YouTube channel. Then I've got my paid community. Then I've got interviews. So this specific interview right here is an Alex Homosey recommended interview. He asked 12 very specific questions, and you can go watch the video on Alex Homosey here on my channel if you wanna watch exactly what they are. But basically, you can get your Claude to interview you based on these Hormozi questions, based on any questions. So you're feeding your Claude more and more information that's gonna store forever
in this Wikipedia
about your business. So I've personally answered Alex Mosi's 12 questions about my Dreamlabs business. Then I fed it some competitor information. And the last thing I'll talk to you about before I actually show you how I'm gonna drag and drop this straight in, uh, you can actually have like a roles model skills plugin, which is what I'm personally working on for my business. So you take all their publicly available data, and you say may take someone like Tony Robbins, for example, who's an excellent businessman.
You can see everything he's ever said publicly about business, build a skills file, like, sort of like a gaming cartridge that you used to plug into your Nintendo.
And you can plug this into your wiki, and when you query it, it's going to actually guide you or have some form of a role model mentor that is gonna guide your next steps and your actions and the outputs of your AIs,
which I thought was phenomenally
cool. So that is completely
built by Claude, and you can see we've went through the setup together. It's fully done. Now the next step that we need to do is we just need to add those raw assets into here. So you can see the assets are basically empty apart from the LLM Wikipedia idea that actually is the foundation of all of this. So I have a folder ready of all of my competitors, my operations, all of my goals, my YouTube transcripts,
all of my YouTube competitors, all of my YouTube transcripts, all of my Homosy business context. I'm gonna highlight those. They don't have to be MD files. Remember, you can put in PDFs, you can put pictures, you can put
text, you can put notes, documents, anything you want. Just drag it into your assets like that, and you can see they're going to be created an MD file for each of these things. These are my goals over here. We're not using AI for AI sakes. We're not using technology for technology sakes. The core of my AI business is practical,
not novelty. What's actually moving me and my business forward? Every tool framework, agent, idea we build for recommended much actually drive results, revenue, time saved, audience grown, or decisions made.
It's clever but doesn't move a number, it doesn't ship. So you can see these are all the things that I would actually like my AI to consider every time it gives me an output. I don't get a new breakthrough for technology's sake. I get how do I improve my business, how do I improve my audience, how do I create more value. You can see I've got the same for YouTube. So I've even got my YouTube transcripts in here for my first six videos so you can see exactly the video structure that I've been making and what I like. And they are now all in there. You can see it's starting to build it out here. But now all we need to do is go back over to our code and say, okay, I have dropped
my assets
into the raw folder.
Please
go ahead
and compile
my business
wiki.
So basically, it's gonna read that initial prompt we gave from Andre Kapathi and go ahead and read all these new assets and ingest them and make them into our business second brain. So it says there's lots of sources here. Let me read them. I'll start in parallel with the smaller markdown files to get the picture quickly. And depending on how many raw files you have and what sort of raw files you're actually dropping in here, uh, this could take upwards of about twenty minutes because it's doing a lot of work actually synthesizing all this data down once so that anytime you try to query it in the future, it's gonna happen really quickly because it's basically building into a structure that is very AI native and extremely
fast to search for things inside there and make links between the concepts so that it can actually start to, and we're gonna run a couple of prompts at the end, show you where you or where I am missing knowledge when it comes to my business. So you can see it's reading all the source files, it's writing the source summary pages, writing the entity pages, writing the concept pages, then it's gonna update the index, index, the log, and the welcome. Of which, if we go back to our nice Figma board over here, you can see that the only part that we really are responsible for is this raw data. And the more data we have, obviously, the better it's going to be. Claude now is gonna go ahead and write that schema file for us. It's going to compile the wiki and the second brain for us, and then it's going to log every time we interact with it. This is the self learning mechanism that's going to make it smarter and smarter and compounding knowledge and specific knowledge to you and your business and your goals every time that you use it. And you can see, if we come back to Obsidian now, it's actually going through all this data and populating
my second brain for my Dreamlabs business, which is pretty exciting. You can see the Dreamlabs YouTube strategy page just got populated.
Dreamlabs
funnel over here. You can see there's some floaters out here that currently don't have anything attached to them. They got
above all else practical, not novelty. So this is going to be a concept. Once it gets down to the concepts, it's gonna start linking. And basically, by the end of it, they are all going to be intricately linked to one another, but not randomly, just very specifically. Mean, here's some competitors here right here, Dreamlab competitors. We've got Greg Eisenberg. So we've got a file on him and exactly what he's doing for his business that I can get some inspiration from. And so I'm just gonna let that populate now and work its magic. By the way, if you've made it this far into the video and haven't hit that subscribe button below, please do. This is a new channel and we wanna grow an amazing audience together. And I'm gonna keep offering you lots of practical business AI tips and tricks in as simple language as possible.
So that took me eight minutes and forty two it didn't take me. It took Claude eight minutes and forty two seconds to get my Dreamlabs
AI
second brain. So if I go over here to Wiki, you can see in concepts, it's got all of the things that it thinks are important concepts for itself to search, entities,
the sources,
and nothing in the synthesis.
But that's okay. This is for the AI to use, not me. So why I wanna use this is because now it knows all that information about my business. I can come over here and say,
hey, I'm trying to plan a new YouTube video. Can you please come up with an idea for me of an amazing AI YouTube video based on my business and based on my past videos and even write the intro out for me. Thank you. So I'm gonna send that off to Claude. And since setting up this for my business, I've actually got some phenomenal
recommendations,
some phenomenal results, and even start to query it. A popular query that people use say, tell me where the gaps in my knowledge are for my business. You know the goals. You know what I'm currently doing. What do I have to do better? And if you can plug in other people's expertise by using their publicly available data and creating skill files to plug into your wiki, I can see this being even more powerful, sort of having like a cast of mentors or a board of directors for your business to help decide what the next best action steps are for you. So you can see we got an idea based on the Wikipedia. So this is what everything that it read. It said the video idea, I let Alex Tomosi's AI run my business for thirty days, the brutal truth, which honestly, that is a strong title. Logline, take the exact Tomosi AI stack, 14 prompts, uh, five agents firing at 6AM, and document what thirty days actually produced, real numbers, real wins, real disasters.
Why this one? It passes every editorial filter. I ask for outliers only. I ask for things with massive demand. I ask for things with long shelf life, with pride, not perfection, with speed and action. What makes it different from the existing six videos? Every video so far teaches setup.
None show what happened after. This is a practical, not novelty. You can see that this is an excellent
video recommendation compared to if I just went to Claude in a new tab and just said, hey, can you suggest I make a YouTube video? I believe this system's gonna help you level up with your business. Let me know in the comments down below how you're using it. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in
