Obsidian & AI Agents: Reimagining the Second Brain

0:00So, here is the second video in my

0:03second brain series. This is going to go

0:06over how I actually view my second brain

0:10and what happens when I look at all of

0:13those things that correlate together.

0:15How do they exist and how do they

0:17benefit me? This we're going to talk

0:20about how my agents use my second brain

0:23now and we're going to talk about

0:24Obsidian. All right, let's jump right

0:26in. This is why I matters.

0:37Welcome back. Okay.

0:38Um

0:39hit like and subscribe and stuff like

0:41that. All right, so what we're doing

0:43this and by the way y'all this is mostly

Join the StoryHacker AI Community

0:45because I had all of these wonderful

0:47people over at the school that I am

0:51involved in called story hacker. If you

0:54would like to be involved in story

0:55hacker, there is a link in the

0:56description below and you can sign on up

1:00and go ahead on and enjoy this new age

1:03of artificial intelligence and

1:04creativity. on. Check the link below.

1:07What I'm going to do is we're going to

Exploring Obsidian: Organizing My Business Vault & Taxes

1:10open Obsidian. We have I have Obsidian

1:12already open right over What I'm going

1:15to do is basically kind of go through

1:18what it is I love about Obsidian and how

1:22it works. This is Obsidian. It's pretty

1:25straightforward. It's a program that is

1:28easy to look at your markdown files

1:31with. This is my business infrastructure

1:34that I've been working on. Taxes filed,

1:36all kinds of stuff. Nothing particularly

1:38sensitive. I just have been working on a

1:41lot of things. I have a lot of agents

1:43working on stuff. And as you can see

1:45over here, I have stuff like pet health

Inside My Sunday Morning Reconciliation Reports with Butch

1:48and my reconciliations.

1:51Ah, my reconciliation. So, here's a

1:53weekly reconciliation which is scanned

1:55by looks like uh, it's was scanned by

1:58Butch, who is my main agent who oversees

2:02pretty much everything. He goes in and

2:04he looks at all of the automations that

2:06I've set up that make reports, and he

2:09goes in and looks at every single one of

2:10those reports, and decides whether or

2:13not things are either good or bad, and

2:16he makes me a new report at the end of

2:19every week, at the beginning of every

2:20week, which is a Sunday morning at, uh,

2:23like, 5:00 in the morning, which is the

2:25beginning of the new week. That gets

2:27deposited in my second brain. In that

Tracking Weekly Wins (Vercel Deploys, Repos, and AI Cron Jobs)

2:30report, with that report, you have all

2:32of this information. Like, what got done

2:35that week, what things, like, so so

2:37these are the things that I actually

2:39did. I made a video on

2:43on Codex Super App packaged, and it's

2:45already and done. Media branding

2:47finalized. Comic Book Portal, uh,

2:50studio. It's a comic book cosplay

2:52photography site that I built that I

2:55deployed on Vercel. YAI I have finished

2:58so many things last week. YAI Matters

3:01private repo created. I made a, uh, YAI

3:05Matters, uh, repo for my actual YAI

3:09Matters site, which is up right now. If

3:11you want to, go over to yaimatters.com.

3:14Check it out. It's still got some rough

3:16edges, but I am really excited about it.

3:19My Cinematic Site Builder skill was

3:21published. This was a free skill that I

3:24published to GitHub. So, if you wanted

3:26to, you can go to GitHub, look up Fufik

3:29Fact, you can download the Cinematic

3:31Site Builder yourself, and build

3:33yourself weird, crazy sites like you saw

3:36mine. So, that's why, yeah, I love

3:39GitHub, cuz I get to give this stuff

3:40away for free. Alice's reconciliation

3:44cron was fixed, but it wasn't. There's

3:47some problems with that. I've got all

3:49kinds of things. Janice backup report

3:51was produced, storyboard pro

3:54architecture critique done.

3:57I've I did so many things. I did so many

4:00things. How do I get all of this stuff

4:03done? Because it's all organized in my

4:07second brain. I have

Structuring Top-Level Vaults, Agent Foldes, and Hermes Wrappers

4:09my top level files in my second brain

4:12and to build their websites and stuff

4:14like that. Then I've got apps. What is

4:16this apps? Oh, it's some kind of app. In

4:18my builder folder, it's things that I've

4:19been building. Butch's

4:22mission control, claw skills, all kinds

4:25of stuff. Hank Junior, I've got Hank

4:27Junior is a wrapper for Hermes agent, so

4:31you can graphically look at Hermes and

4:33it can do things for you. You can look

4:34at nice markdown and stuff like that.

4:36And then Butch, it tells you about each

4:38and every

4:39one. Oh, that's interesting. Why does

4:42Butch have his own folder out here in

4:45the main top level? But when you look

4:48under agents, oh, because if you look

4:51under agents right here, it'll tell you

4:55it'll give you a these are all of my

4:57active agents. I've got Janice, Butch,

5:00Dr. Little, Alice, Fabian, Hank and they

5:04all aren't running all at the same exact

5:06time. But those are kind of the agents I

5:09built over time. It's really easy to see

5:11everything

5:13when you are in here. Let me give you an

5:14example. So, here I am inside

Planning Future YouTube Videos: Brainstorming in the Concept Folder

5:19and we'll go with the YAI matters in

5:22assets right over here. Let me see here.

5:24I have YouTube packaging. Inside YouTube

5:28packaging I have Oh, no, no, no. Where

5:30is it? Concepts. There we go. All right,

5:33so in each one of these I have a concept

5:35folder. Oh, Gracie, are you coming up

5:37here to say hello? Cuz I would not be

5:39mad if that's the case. No, she's not.

5:42She's like, nope. I just climbed up

5:44here. I'm not doing anything. But inside

5:46each one of these concepts, so I have a

5:49ADHD and AI agents. This is probably a

5:53video that I will be making.

5:56AI cinematic web. I made a

5:59I want to make a video about making

6:02cinematic websites.

6:04AI did my taxes. That's a video that I

6:07have not yet made.

6:09I did make AI memory problem. AI writing

6:13voices I haven't made and tropic 45 days

6:16I haven't made. Uh breaking news but as

6:19you can see, I did make the 5.5 and the

6:22mem palace video. I'm still working on

6:24some other mem palace videos. So, I've

6:27got all of this stuff and I don't ever

6:29have to worry about ideas. I come up

6:31with ideas out the wazoo. I have to be

6:34able to find those ideas after I am done

6:38with those ideas. And this is how I do

6:40it. I use Obsidian to view my files

Organizing Assets & Dropbox Sync Workflow

6:46including pictures. I have tons of

6:48pictures and stuff. It actually looks at

6:50video. It you can put anything in there.

6:54I like to use

6:57I like to have my Dropbox on my home

7:01directory just because it just makes

7:03things a little cleaner when things are

7:05being moved around from one place to

7:07another. Don't worry about it. It's just

7:09something that's in my brain that I do.

7:11It's probably some kind of OCD quirk or

7:14something like that. That's what I do.

7:16That's it right there. I use Obsidian

7:20and in using Obsidian it helps me keep

The Obsidian Graph View: Visualizing My Interconnected Brain

7:23everything organized. Did you know you

7:25can literally search all of Obsidian?

7:28Let me show you one other thing really

7:29quick. Inside Obsidian, you can even

7:32look and view your entire universe as a

7:37bunch of graphics. And as I zoom in, you

7:39can start to see things are connecting

7:42with each other, right? So, as I zoom

7:45in, here's why AI matters. It's a big

7:47one and it interconnects with all of

7:49these other things because once it

7:52starts building this wiki, once it

7:54starts building the wiki, it starts

7:56interconnecting so many different

7:58things. Your mind on AI or Design Studio

8:02Hermes, that's a very interesting one. I

8:05love these connections or ooh, G stack

8:09as agent process pattern. Somehow a

8:12bunch of stuff got uh connected to that.

8:15I don't know why. Let's see here. Let's

8:17go

8:18uh G stack as agent and let's go over to

8:22co-work OS. What does it say inside of

Deep Dive: Wiki-Style Interlinked Markdown Files

8:24one of these wiki concept markdown

8:27files. As you can see, it has a lot of

8:30information. It has inner linked things

8:33so you can link to other things and open

8:36up other things as you get deeper and

8:39deeper into my wiki. This is so cool to

8:42me. This is basically my brain as a

8:46Wikipedia, as as Wikipedia. It's amazing

8:50to me that this is that easy to do. I

8:53just dump everything inside of an inbox

8:57and it digests it. Now, as I said in the

Accessing the EJ's Palace Wiki & Inspiration Sources

9:00last video, I have links to my wiki,

9:06which is called EJ's Palace Wiki, which

9:08is a combination of the Mem Palace and

9:11Andrew Karpathy's Wiki. That's in a link

9:14in the description. I also have

9:16Karpathy's Wiki LLM and Milla Jovovich's

9:21Mem Palace. So, if you are interested in

9:23any of these things, there are links

9:25down there. And do me a favor, y'all. I

9:29basically designed my own website, all

9:34of my branding, all of it all at once

9:37and is the video right here that pretty

9:39much shows you that I can do anything.

9:44Talk to you soon.
