Comment avoir un SECOND CERVEAU parfait sur Claude ? (le système simple) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00This video is very special and it will
- 0:02surely change your life. I am speaking
- 0:05to everyone who uses Claude, Codex, or
- 0:08other agents, who isn't technical, and
- 0:11who wants a kind of second brain. So,
- 0:15I'm talking here about a place where
- 0:17you can chat with AI, and the AI knows
- 0:19what you do, what you like, what you're
- 0:21working on right now, your projects; it
- 0:23has access to your Gmail, your YouTube,
- 0:25can edit your videos, and so on. It’s
- 0:29a dream many people want to achieve,
- 0:32and it's what we can call a second
- 0:34brain, a place where you can offload
- 0:36your mind and have your entire body of
- 0:39work. It's also what we can call a work
- 0:42folder. And by doing calls with quite a
- 0:45few non-technical people, I realized
- 0:47that 80%of people had, uh, work folders
- 0:49—what I just mentioned—that were
- 0:51completely awful, riddled with errors,
- 0:53with complexity where they had copied
- 0:56and pasted systems from dozens and
- 0:58dozens of different videos into their
- 1:00thing. And this video is dedicated to
- 1:03those people, adapted to the models we
- 1:05are working with now. And it's going to
- 1:08completely change how you work with
- 1:11extraordinary simplification. So I
- 1:15suggest we get started on this topic of
- 1:17the second brain. The goal here is not
- 1:21to build an overcomplicated mess, and I
- 1:23know many of you either have nothing at
- 1:24all or have an overly complex system.
- 1:28So, where does this come from? It comes
- 1:31from 1945 with the Memex, an augmented
- 1:33memory where you could store your books
- 1:35, your letters, your notes, and be able
- 1:38to retrieve everything in an instant.
- 1:41That was the objective. But now, the
- 1:44dream is to have a "brain" in English,
- 1:46or a brain in French, with Claude or
- 1:48any AI agent that reads, searches, and
- 1:51summarizes all your information into
- 1:53one folder. And what you're sold on
- 1:57YouTube is often a 3D brain, often with
- 1:59an Obsidian graph, a vector database,
- 2:02or multiple databases and a 10-step
- 2:04pipeline to create something. Let me
- 2:08tell you that in my opinion, all that
- 2:10is an overcomplicated mess, something
- 2:12that isn't sustainable in the long run.
- 2:14So today, we are going to talk about
- 2:16the simplest yet most effective system
- 2:18that I have implemented for a huge
- 2:20number of people, and which will
- 2:22simplify your life. What you need is a
- 2:25folder. A folder with your info. Offer,
- 2:28client, decision. When an AI goes to
- 2:32search for information, it will simply
- 2:34go into this folder, which must be
- 2:36well-organized to retrieve the right
- 2:38information, and it will be able to
- 2:41answer you using that information. That
- 2:43is what we call a RAG. Often, when we
- 2:47talk about RAG, it's a term that has
- 2:49been used, reused, and used over and
- 2:51over again. We often talk about a
- 2:54vector database, but here we are going
- 2:56to do a much, much simpler RAG, because
- 2:59a RAG is just retrieval-augmented
- 3:01generation. We often talk about vector
- 3:04databases, but in fact, a vector
- 3:06database is just the most common way to
- 3:08do it. But with RAG, the idea is just:
- 3:10search first, and then we have the
- 3:12result. And so, that is exactly what
- 3:14Claude now allows you to do. You open a
- 3:17new conversation, you tell it: "write
- 3:18the launch email for my course"—an
- 3:20example that relates to me—and then
- 3:22it says: "With pleasure, which course,
- 3:24what price, for whom, and what tone?".
- 3:27So, in fact, it doesn't know who you
- 3:28are. In every conversation, it has
- 3:30different things. You are using the
- 3:32application, so it will ask you
- 3:33questions and you will have to clarify,
- 3:35and so on. And so you will have to
- 3:38manually re-paste the course you are
- 3:40selling, the course you want, and so on
- 3:42and so forth, with a prompt for every
- 3:44single thing. The idea here is to keep
- 3:48pasting everything in to get Claude to
- 3:51answer. The problem is that it is
- 3:53expensive and slow, less accurate, and
- 3:55worse, to it, everything has the same
- 3:57value. So your old 2024 price or your
- 3:592026 price, well, to it, both are
- 4:01useful pieces of information. When you
- 4:04work like that, you are using the
- 4:05desktop. You have to understand that
- 4:07the AI has a kind of desktop. That is
- 4:09its context window. It's a bit like
- 4:10what you see on your screen; you see,
- 4:12when you work on your computer, you
- 4:13have your desktop. It's big, but it's
- 4:15not infinite. And then, we will have a
- 4:17filing cabinet. A filing cabinet, that
- 4:18will be our folder, that will be our
- 4:20brain. And there, we will have all our
- 4:22projects stored. And this cabinet will
- 4:25be read on our desktop. So when you, on
- 4:28your computer, come to work on your
- 4:30YouTube channel, you don't open all the
- 4:32pages at once. You don't open your
- 4:35YouTube channel, your Instagram account
- 4:37, and so on; you only open YouTube.
- 4:38Well, that is exactly what you can
- 4:40imagine right here. So, the goal is for
- 4:44Claude to first search using a brain.
- 4:47When you ask Claude what my current
- 4:49price is, it will look for "price" in
- 4:52the database to find the 2026 offer
- 4:54with the "about" file, and it will read
- 4:56the files. So clearly here, reading
- 5:00files is actually superior to a
- 5:03database. According to Boris, creator
- 5:05of Cloud Code. Searching for words in
- 5:08files is more optimized than bothering
- 5:10to store dozens of pieces of
- 5:12information in a standard database. A
- 5:15file, you read it. So you can read it,
- 5:18meaning both a human can read the file
- 5:19and an agent can read the file. So it
- 5:22is agent and human-friendly. For a
- 5:24database, you generally need code and a
- 5:26server, whereas a text file is just a
- 5:28folder. To correct information, you
- 5:30need scripts. Whereas with a text file,
- 5:33you can even manually change the info.
- 5:36And if you change AI, well, with text
- 5:38files, it works with any agent. Files
- 5:41are superior to a database right here.
- 5:44So when you ask how much my training
- 5:46costs, it will look for the word price,
- 5:48it will look for the word rate, it will
- 5:51look for the word euros, and that will
- 5:53allow it to answer that Editing AI Pro
- 5:55is X according to your 2026 offer.
- 5:57Right here. How do we do that? Well, we
- 6:00manage a folder. Now, this interface
- 6:03might look scary, but it's just a file
- 6:05directory. It's exactly like when you
- 6:08open the Finder. So here we can see
- 6:11that we have folders with thumbnails,
- 6:13stuff, and so on. Well, it's the same
- 6:16view, except that here, we display it
- 6:18in one dimension right here. So we'll
- 6:21have our brain right here, which is
- 6:23right there with an agent.md file. If
- 6:27you don't know what an agent.md file is
- 6:29, MD is simply a file read at every new
- 6:31conversation that explains to it who
- 6:33you are and our project rules. We will
- 6:36have project folders with, for example,
- 6:39the training, your YouTube channel,
- 6:41your real estate project, etc. We will
- 6:43have notes with journals, IDs, and
- 6:45to-dos. And we will have the archives.
- 6:47So that's for once a folder or project
- 6:49is finished, we move it to the archive
- 6:51right here. No database, no
- 6:53subscription, just text. And so in this
- 6:57about.md file in each project, it will
- 6:59describe where the project stands, the
- 7:01decisions, etc. So the agent.md file,
- 7:03as I mentioned just before, is read at
- 7:05the start of every conversation right
- 7:08here. It will be read, which allows you
- 7:10to provide your basic information. The
- 7:12goal is not to give it too much
- 7:14information. The goal is to give it
- 7:17just enough information. And then, when
- 7:20you open a new conversation and ask it
- 7:22a question, it will generally read the
- 7:24"about" file, which is what we call an
- 7:26entry point, so that when you talk
- 7:28about a project—for example, "work on
- 7:30my course"—I'll use this example
- 7:32because it's the simplest one. Editing
- 7:35AI Pro, a course on how to do video
- 7:38editing with AI. Well, it reads the "
- 7:42about" file and tells you, "Here is a
- 7:44draft for your course." In this "about"
- 7:49file, we will have a summary of what's
- 7:52happening in the course. We will have
- 7:56where you currently stand with your
- 7:58current information. We will have the
- 8:01decisions you might have made right
- 8:02here. And we will have the next step,
- 8:05with the launch email sequence, for
- 8:07example, that you need to do here. So
- 8:09here, we have all the basic data, but
- 8:11it's more of an overview. Then, we will
- 8:13have other files inside that describe
- 8:15the other steps. Summarized by an AI,
- 8:19about.md. So, the overly complex
- 8:21version involves files that summarize,
- 8:23repeat themselves, and so on. The "
- 8:25brain" version means having a clean
- 8:27about.md file that is always updated
- 8:29and follows specific rules. We will
- 8:31keep track of every decision you make
- 8:33along with its reason so the AI doesn't
- 8:35repeat the same mistakes. Instead of
- 8:37complicated searches, we will simply
- 8:39have Claude perform the search on its
- 8:40own. And we will see that later.
- 8:44Instead of copying tons of content, we
- 8:46will just have tools connected to our
- 8:48AI so it can use everything via what we
- 8:50call skills. And we will have automatic
- 8:53backups with "don" and automatic
- 8:55backups that allow us to manage all of
- 8:57this. No need to put everything in,
- 8:59right? In your brain, we will have your
- 9:02offer, your prices, your target clients
- 9:03, your processes, your decisions, your
- 9:05transcripts, your notes, your ideas,
- 9:06and so on. But we won't repeat Stripe
- 9:10info, calendar info, or email info; all
- 9:14of that will go through tools. To get
- 9:17started on your end, you can go to the
- 9:20first link under this video at
- 9:22mlv.sh/fx to receive a masterclass on
- 9:24everything you can do with this brain
- 9:27system and ultimately everything you
- 9:29can automate with AI. I really invite
- 9:33you to click on this first link under
- 9:34the video to sign up immediately. And
- 9:36otherwise, you can simply use the
- 9:38interview right here. So with an "
- 9:39interview" prompt, tell it to interview
- 9:41me to fill in the project name. Ask me
- 9:43one question at a time, client offer,
- 9:45price, goal, then write all that in
- 9:47process non about. Right here, you will
- 9:50then be able to put in your
- 9:52documentation and do what we call voice
- 9:54dumps. So you do a 5-minute voice
- 9:56recording and it saves everything. Your
- 9:58conversations are kept on Claude and on
- 10:01our tool for only 30 days. And that's
- 10:04why we want to save and extract the
- 10:06essentials into our brain. We are going
- 10:09to have daily notes. So every day, we
- 10:11will have the projects you're working
- 10:13on for your memory. This is actually
- 10:15your brain, it will save all of that on
- 10:17its own. You don't need to do much at
- 10:19all. And it will save your ideas and
- 10:22to-dos right here. And when you ask it,
- 10:24"What did I do this week?" It will be
- 10:26able to answer you. It will be able to
- 10:28read the notes to make decisions, and
- 10:30so on. You'll have the/done commands,
- 10:33but you can also have by default here,
- 10:36with the setup I have, you can tell it
- 10:38that if you haven't continued a
- 10:40conversation for 20 minutes, it will
- 10:42automatically save and that will allow
- 10:45you to create about files, roadmap
- 10:47files, journal files that then allow
- 10:50you to save everything on a big hard
- 10:52drive online called GitHub. We're going
- 10:55to have rules everywhere. So the first
- 10:58point is agent/haagent.md, which is how
- 11:01it talks to you and your constraints,
- 11:03always read. Next, we have the brain
- 11:06notes with the agent.md, which contains
- 11:08the details of who you are and your
- 11:09organization. Then after that, we have
- 11:11about files which are only read on
- 11:14demand. The advantage is that all of
- 11:16this consists of files that belong to
- 11:18you. Your brain is just files that are
- 11:20on your computer. So, you can use them
- 11:23with CL.code, Codex, or even Hermes on
- 11:26a VPS. So if tomorrow you want to
- 11:29change AIs, if tomorrow you want to use
- 11:31anything else, everything works
- 11:33perfectly without any modifications. We
- 11:36will have several recipes and that
- 11:39follows with what we call skills.
- 11:41Create project, project, cleanup, and
- 11:44skill manager. So, skills are simply
- 11:47processes that we will be able to
- 11:48repeat. And instead of saving prompts
- 11:52that you copy 100 times, you will
- 11:54create skills so that the AI finds them
- 11:56on its own. Now, a second very
- 11:59important point is the tools. Twelve
- 12:02months of emails copied and recopied
- 12:04every 15 minutes is complicated.
- 12:06Actually, what we want to do instead is
- 12:08copy nothing. It's about not
- 12:09duplicating information because your
- 12:11projects are what are normally in your
- 12:13head. Here, we are going to put them
- 12:15into the AI. But then, when we build
- 12:18tools, we will connect Claude directly
- 12:19to Gmail, Notion, and Stripe so it has
- 12:21access. This way, Claude will access
- 12:24your data on demand, and we won't be
- 12:26copying it. If you have a data source,
- 12:28we won't duplicate that data source.
- 12:30This way, when you ask it where your
- 12:32YouTube channel is, it can read your
- 12:34YouTube file and read the info from
- 12:36your YouTube channel. And how many
- 12:38sales this week? Well, it will read the
- 12:41file and go get the information from
- 12:43Stripe to have up-to-date data. It is
- 12:45very important. Right here, Claude
- 12:47manages to automatically link to a
- 12:49cloud or ChatGPT, etc. One piece of
- 12:51info in one single place. So if the
- 12:53price changes, you just modify one line
- 12:56. And you have to be careful because AI
- 12:58tends to duplicate information. So here
- 13:00, we will try to ensure that
- 13:02information is atomic. All decisions,
- 13:05along with the reason why you chose to
- 13:07decide that, will also be saved. Slash
- 13:10allows you to save, and cleanup allows
- 13:13you to tidy up. So your brain will have
- 13:16many files; it will have your "brain"
- 13:19folder with all the connectors here. It
- 13:22is actually very important to have all
- 13:23the connectors. So here, I only put
- 13:25three with Notion, Mail, and Stripe.
- 13:27But in reality, I have dozens and
- 13:29dozens of connectors. I have my
- 13:32connector for my emails, the connector
- 13:34for my training platform, and a
- 13:36connector that allows the AI to publish
- 13:38my modules, do video editing, and so on
- 13:40. Now, I'm going to finish this video.
- 13:43There is a connector that will take the
- 13:45video I am currently recording, edit it
- 13:47, and publish it on YouTube without me
- 13:49needing to do anything. Next, the step
- 13:52after that, which we won't discuss just
- 13:54yet, is to put all of this on a VPS so
- 13:56your brain can be synchronized online
- 13:59and you can chat with it directly via
- 14:01WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and all
- 14:03messaging apps. And right here, it will
- 14:06then allow you to always be able to
- 14:08chat and have your data even there. So
- 14:10the steps to take now are, first,
- 14:12create your brain. For that, you can go
- 14:14to mlv.sh/fx to get a mini-training
- 14:16course to help you get started, and
- 14:18above all, a masterclass to understand
- 14:20everything you can automate right now,
- 14:22regardless of your industry, with AI.
- 14:25Second point, get yourself interviewed,
- 14:27and third point, connect all the tools
- 14:29you have immediately to the AI to get a
- 14:31real masterclass in results. Your
- 14:33second brain is a folder with an
- 14:36agent.md and an about file. You let it
- 14:38search on its own and you keep it clean
- 14:40. If I show you my folder, it's exactly
- 14:44what I showed you on the other slide,
- 14:46but we're not going to have 12,000
- 14:48folders, you see, we'll keep only a few
- 14:50. It's very important. So here, when
- 14:53you look at the number of folders we
- 14:56have, we have a project folder, a notes
- 14:58folder, that's all. And I see a huge
- 15:00number of people with code and
- 15:02information that becomes complex and so
- 15:03on. Let's imagine I want to do video
- 15:06editing. If I want to do video editing,
- 15:09I won't store that in my brain because
- 15:11my brain is my workspace, it's my space
- 15:13for reflection. I don't want to mix the
- 15:16skills for video editing with the
- 15:17skills for managing my thoughts, my
- 15:19data, and my business. So what we're
- 15:22going to do here is create another
- 15:23folder. So here, we'll have our brain
- 15:25folder which will, for example, be in
- 15:27our documents folder on our computer.
- 15:29And then, we're going to do video
- 15:30editing, we'll create a video editing
- 15:32folder. In this video editing folder,
- 15:34we'll put our rushes and so on, as well
- 15:36as the video editing skills that we
- 15:38will always store in that location.
- 15:41This way, we'll separate the
- 15:43information and we'll optimize our AI's
- 15:45results, which will allow for much
- 15:47better outcomes, I assure you. So, the
- 15:50masterclass is at mlv.sh/fx, my first
- 15:52link below this video. I invite you to
- 15:54watch it now. Talk to you soon. Bye bye
- 15:56.
