  1. 0:00This video is very special and it will
  2. 0:02surely change your life. I am speaking
  3. 0:05to everyone who uses Claude, Codex, or
  4. 0:08other agents, who isn't technical, and
  5. 0:11who wants a kind of second brain. So,
  6. 0:15I'm talking here about a place where
  7. 0:17you can chat with AI, and the AI knows
  8. 0:19what you do, what you like, what you're
  9. 0:21working on right now, your projects; it
  10. 0:23has access to your Gmail, your YouTube,
  11. 0:25can edit your videos, and so on. It’s
  12. 0:29a dream many people want to achieve,
  13. 0:32and it's what we can call a second
  14. 0:34brain, a place where you can offload
  15. 0:36your mind and have your entire body of
  16. 0:39work. It's also what we can call a work
  17. 0:42folder. And by doing calls with quite a
  18. 0:45few non-technical people, I realized
  19. 0:47that 80%of people had, uh, work folders
  20. 0:49—what I just mentioned—that were
  21. 0:51completely awful, riddled with errors,
  22. 0:53with complexity where they had copied
  23. 0:56and pasted systems from dozens and
  24. 0:58dozens of different videos into their
  25. 1:00thing. And this video is dedicated to
  26. 1:03those people, adapted to the models we
  27. 1:05are working with now. And it's going to
  28. 1:08completely change how you work with
  29. 1:11extraordinary simplification. So I
  30. 1:15suggest we get started on this topic of
  31. 1:17the second brain. The goal here is not
  32. 1:21to build an overcomplicated mess, and I
  33. 1:23know many of you either have nothing at
  34. 1:24all or have an overly complex system.
  35. 1:28So, where does this come from? It comes
  36. 1:31from 1945 with the Memex, an augmented
  37. 1:33memory where you could store your books
  38. 1:35, your letters, your notes, and be able
  39. 1:38to retrieve everything in an instant.
  40. 1:41That was the objective. But now, the
  41. 1:44dream is to have a "brain" in English,
  42. 1:46or a brain in French, with Claude or
  43. 1:48any AI agent that reads, searches, and
  44. 1:51summarizes all your information into
  45. 1:53one folder. And what you're sold on
  46. 1:57YouTube is often a 3D brain, often with
  47. 1:59an Obsidian graph, a vector database,
  48. 2:02or multiple databases and a 10-step
  49. 2:04pipeline to create something. Let me
  50. 2:08tell you that in my opinion, all that
  51. 2:10is an overcomplicated mess, something
  52. 2:12that isn't sustainable in the long run.
  53. 2:14So today, we are going to talk about
  54. 2:16the simplest yet most effective system
  55. 2:18that I have implemented for a huge
  56. 2:20number of people, and which will
  57. 2:22simplify your life. What you need is a
  58. 2:25folder. A folder with your info. Offer,
  59. 2:28client, decision. When an AI goes to
  60. 2:32search for information, it will simply
  61. 2:34go into this folder, which must be
  62. 2:36well-organized to retrieve the right
  63. 2:38information, and it will be able to
  64. 2:41answer you using that information. That
  65. 2:43is what we call a RAG. Often, when we
  66. 2:47talk about RAG, it's a term that has
  67. 2:49been used, reused, and used over and
  68. 2:51over again. We often talk about a
  69. 2:54vector database, but here we are going
  70. 2:56to do a much, much simpler RAG, because
  71. 2:59a RAG is just retrieval-augmented
  72. 3:01generation. We often talk about vector
  73. 3:04databases, but in fact, a vector
  74. 3:06database is just the most common way to
  75. 3:08do it. But with RAG, the idea is just:
  76. 3:10search first, and then we have the
  77. 3:12result. And so, that is exactly what
  78. 3:14Claude now allows you to do. You open a
  79. 3:17new conversation, you tell it: "write
  80. 3:18the launch email for my course"—an
  81. 3:20example that relates to me—and then
  82. 3:22it says: "With pleasure, which course,
  83. 3:24what price, for whom, and what tone?".
  84. 3:27So, in fact, it doesn't know who you
  85. 3:28are. In every conversation, it has
  86. 3:30different things. You are using the
  87. 3:32application, so it will ask you
  88. 3:33questions and you will have to clarify,
  89. 3:35and so on. And so you will have to
  90. 3:38manually re-paste the course you are
  91. 3:40selling, the course you want, and so on
  92. 3:42and so forth, with a prompt for every
  93. 3:44single thing. The idea here is to keep
  94. 3:48pasting everything in to get Claude to
  95. 3:51answer. The problem is that it is
  96. 3:53expensive and slow, less accurate, and
  97. 3:55worse, to it, everything has the same
  98. 3:57value. So your old 2024 price or your
  99. 3:592026 price, well, to it, both are
  100. 4:01useful pieces of information. When you
  101. 4:04work like that, you are using the
  102. 4:05desktop. You have to understand that
  103. 4:07the AI has a kind of desktop. That is
  104. 4:09its context window. It's a bit like
  105. 4:10what you see on your screen; you see,
  106. 4:12when you work on your computer, you
  107. 4:13have your desktop. It's big, but it's
  108. 4:15not infinite. And then, we will have a
  109. 4:17filing cabinet. A filing cabinet, that
  110. 4:18will be our folder, that will be our
  111. 4:20brain. And there, we will have all our
  112. 4:22projects stored. And this cabinet will
  113. 4:25be read on our desktop. So when you, on
  114. 4:28your computer, come to work on your
  115. 4:30YouTube channel, you don't open all the
  116. 4:32pages at once. You don't open your
  117. 4:35YouTube channel, your Instagram account
  118. 4:37, and so on; you only open YouTube.
  119. 4:38Well, that is exactly what you can
  120. 4:40imagine right here. So, the goal is for
  121. 4:44Claude to first search using a brain.
  122. 4:47When you ask Claude what my current
  123. 4:49price is, it will look for "price" in
  124. 4:52the database to find the 2026 offer
  125. 4:54with the "about" file, and it will read
  126. 4:56the files. So clearly here, reading
  127. 5:00files is actually superior to a
  128. 5:03database. According to Boris, creator
  129. 5:05of Cloud Code. Searching for words in
  130. 5:08files is more optimized than bothering
  131. 5:10to store dozens of pieces of
  132. 5:12information in a standard database. A
  133. 5:15file, you read it. So you can read it,
  134. 5:18meaning both a human can read the file
  135. 5:19and an agent can read the file. So it
  136. 5:22is agent and human-friendly. For a
  137. 5:24database, you generally need code and a
  138. 5:26server, whereas a text file is just a
  139. 5:28folder. To correct information, you
  140. 5:30need scripts. Whereas with a text file,
  141. 5:33you can even manually change the info.
  142. 5:36And if you change AI, well, with text
  143. 5:38files, it works with any agent. Files
  144. 5:41are superior to a database right here.
  145. 5:44So when you ask how much my training
  146. 5:46costs, it will look for the word price,
  147. 5:48it will look for the word rate, it will
  148. 5:51look for the word euros, and that will
  149. 5:53allow it to answer that Editing AI Pro
  150. 5:55is X according to your 2026 offer.
  151. 5:57Right here. How do we do that? Well, we
  152. 6:00manage a folder. Now, this interface
  153. 6:03might look scary, but it's just a file
  154. 6:05directory. It's exactly like when you
  155. 6:08open the Finder. So here we can see
  156. 6:11that we have folders with thumbnails,
  157. 6:13stuff, and so on. Well, it's the same
  158. 6:16view, except that here, we display it
  159. 6:18in one dimension right here. So we'll
  160. 6:21have our brain right here, which is
  161. 6:23right there with an agent.md file. If
  162. 6:27you don't know what an agent.md file is
  163. 6:29, MD is simply a file read at every new
  164. 6:31conversation that explains to it who
  165. 6:33you are and our project rules. We will
  166. 6:36have project folders with, for example,
  167. 6:39the training, your YouTube channel,
  168. 6:41your real estate project, etc. We will
  169. 6:43have notes with journals, IDs, and
  170. 6:45to-dos. And we will have the archives.
  171. 6:47So that's for once a folder or project
  172. 6:49is finished, we move it to the archive
  173. 6:51right here. No database, no
  174. 6:53subscription, just text. And so in this
  175. 6:57about.md file in each project, it will
  176. 6:59describe where the project stands, the
  177. 7:01decisions, etc. So the agent.md file,
  178. 7:03as I mentioned just before, is read at
  179. 7:05the start of every conversation right
  180. 7:08here. It will be read, which allows you
  181. 7:10to provide your basic information. The
  182. 7:12goal is not to give it too much
  183. 7:14information. The goal is to give it
  184. 7:17just enough information. And then, when
  185. 7:20you open a new conversation and ask it
  186. 7:22a question, it will generally read the
  187. 7:24"about" file, which is what we call an
  188. 7:26entry point, so that when you talk
  189. 7:28about a project—for example, "work on
  190. 7:30my course"—I'll use this example
  191. 7:32because it's the simplest one. Editing
  192. 7:35AI Pro, a course on how to do video
  193. 7:38editing with AI. Well, it reads the "
  194. 7:42about" file and tells you, "Here is a
  195. 7:44draft for your course." In this "about"
  196. 7:49file, we will have a summary of what's
  197. 7:52happening in the course. We will have
  198. 7:56where you currently stand with your
  199. 7:58current information. We will have the
  200. 8:01decisions you might have made right
  201. 8:02here. And we will have the next step,
  202. 8:05with the launch email sequence, for
  203. 8:07example, that you need to do here. So
  204. 8:09here, we have all the basic data, but
  205. 8:11it's more of an overview. Then, we will
  206. 8:13have other files inside that describe
  207. 8:15the other steps. Summarized by an AI,
  208. 8:19about.md. So, the overly complex
  209. 8:21version involves files that summarize,
  210. 8:23repeat themselves, and so on. The "
  211. 8:25brain" version means having a clean
  212. 8:27about.md file that is always updated
  213. 8:29and follows specific rules. We will
  214. 8:31keep track of every decision you make
  215. 8:33along with its reason so the AI doesn't
  216. 8:35repeat the same mistakes. Instead of
  217. 8:37complicated searches, we will simply
  218. 8:39have Claude perform the search on its
  219. 8:40own. And we will see that later.
  220. 8:44Instead of copying tons of content, we
  221. 8:46will just have tools connected to our
  222. 8:48AI so it can use everything via what we
  223. 8:50call skills. And we will have automatic
  224. 8:53backups with "don" and automatic
  225. 8:55backups that allow us to manage all of
  226. 8:57this. No need to put everything in,
  227. 8:59right? In your brain, we will have your
  228. 9:02offer, your prices, your target clients
  229. 9:03, your processes, your decisions, your
  230. 9:05transcripts, your notes, your ideas,
  231. 9:06and so on. But we won't repeat Stripe
  232. 9:10info, calendar info, or email info; all
  233. 9:14of that will go through tools. To get
  234. 9:17started on your end, you can go to the
  235. 9:20first link under this video at
  236. 9:22mlv.sh/fx to receive a masterclass on
  237. 9:24everything you can do with this brain
  238. 9:27system and ultimately everything you
  239. 9:29can automate with AI. I really invite
  240. 9:33you to click on this first link under
  241. 9:34the video to sign up immediately. And
  242. 9:36otherwise, you can simply use the
  243. 9:38interview right here. So with an "
  244. 9:39interview" prompt, tell it to interview
  245. 9:41me to fill in the project name. Ask me
  246. 9:43one question at a time, client offer,
  247. 9:45price, goal, then write all that in
  248. 9:47process non about. Right here, you will
  249. 9:50then be able to put in your
  250. 9:52documentation and do what we call voice
  251. 9:54dumps. So you do a 5-minute voice
  252. 9:56recording and it saves everything. Your
  253. 9:58conversations are kept on Claude and on
  254. 10:01our tool for only 30 days. And that's
  255. 10:04why we want to save and extract the
  256. 10:06essentials into our brain. We are going
  257. 10:09to have daily notes. So every day, we
  258. 10:11will have the projects you're working
  259. 10:13on for your memory. This is actually
  260. 10:15your brain, it will save all of that on
  261. 10:17its own. You don't need to do much at
  262. 10:19all. And it will save your ideas and
  263. 10:22to-dos right here. And when you ask it,
  264. 10:24"What did I do this week?" It will be
  265. 10:26able to answer you. It will be able to
  266. 10:28read the notes to make decisions, and
  267. 10:30so on. You'll have the/done commands,
  268. 10:33but you can also have by default here,
  269. 10:36with the setup I have, you can tell it
  270. 10:38that if you haven't continued a
  271. 10:40conversation for 20 minutes, it will
  272. 10:42automatically save and that will allow
  273. 10:45you to create about files, roadmap
  274. 10:47files, journal files that then allow
  275. 10:50you to save everything on a big hard
  276. 10:52drive online called GitHub. We're going
  277. 10:55to have rules everywhere. So the first
  278. 10:58point is agent/haagent.md, which is how
  279. 11:01it talks to you and your constraints,
  280. 11:03always read. Next, we have the brain
  281. 11:06notes with the agent.md, which contains
  282. 11:08the details of who you are and your
  283. 11:09organization. Then after that, we have
  284. 11:11about files which are only read on
  285. 11:14demand. The advantage is that all of
  286. 11:16this consists of files that belong to
  287. 11:18you. Your brain is just files that are
  288. 11:20on your computer. So, you can use them
  289. 11:23with CL.code, Codex, or even Hermes on
  290. 11:26a VPS. So if tomorrow you want to
  291. 11:29change AIs, if tomorrow you want to use
  292. 11:31anything else, everything works
  293. 11:33perfectly without any modifications. We
  294. 11:36will have several recipes and that
  295. 11:39follows with what we call skills.
  296. 11:41Create project, project, cleanup, and
  297. 11:44skill manager. So, skills are simply
  298. 11:47processes that we will be able to
  299. 11:48repeat. And instead of saving prompts
  300. 11:52that you copy 100 times, you will
  301. 11:54create skills so that the AI finds them
  302. 11:56on its own. Now, a second very
  303. 11:59important point is the tools. Twelve
  304. 12:02months of emails copied and recopied
  305. 12:04every 15 minutes is complicated.
  306. 12:06Actually, what we want to do instead is
  307. 12:08copy nothing. It's about not
  308. 12:09duplicating information because your
  309. 12:11projects are what are normally in your
  310. 12:13head. Here, we are going to put them
  311. 12:15into the AI. But then, when we build
  312. 12:18tools, we will connect Claude directly
  313. 12:19to Gmail, Notion, and Stripe so it has
  314. 12:21access. This way, Claude will access
  315. 12:24your data on demand, and we won't be
  316. 12:26copying it. If you have a data source,
  317. 12:28we won't duplicate that data source.
  318. 12:30This way, when you ask it where your
  319. 12:32YouTube channel is, it can read your
  320. 12:34YouTube file and read the info from
  321. 12:36your YouTube channel. And how many
  322. 12:38sales this week? Well, it will read the
  323. 12:41file and go get the information from
  324. 12:43Stripe to have up-to-date data. It is
  325. 12:45very important. Right here, Claude
  326. 12:47manages to automatically link to a
  327. 12:49cloud or ChatGPT, etc. One piece of
  328. 12:51info in one single place. So if the
  329. 12:53price changes, you just modify one line
  330. 12:56. And you have to be careful because AI
  331. 12:58tends to duplicate information. So here
  332. 13:00, we will try to ensure that
  333. 13:02information is atomic. All decisions,
  334. 13:05along with the reason why you chose to
  335. 13:07decide that, will also be saved. Slash
  336. 13:10allows you to save, and cleanup allows
  337. 13:13you to tidy up. So your brain will have
  338. 13:16many files; it will have your "brain"
  339. 13:19folder with all the connectors here. It
  340. 13:22is actually very important to have all
  341. 13:23the connectors. So here, I only put
  342. 13:25three with Notion, Mail, and Stripe.
  343. 13:27But in reality, I have dozens and
  344. 13:29dozens of connectors. I have my
  345. 13:32connector for my emails, the connector
  346. 13:34for my training platform, and a
  347. 13:36connector that allows the AI to publish
  348. 13:38my modules, do video editing, and so on
  349. 13:40. Now, I'm going to finish this video.
  350. 13:43There is a connector that will take the
  351. 13:45video I am currently recording, edit it
  352. 13:47, and publish it on YouTube without me
  353. 13:49needing to do anything. Next, the step
  354. 13:52after that, which we won't discuss just
  355. 13:54yet, is to put all of this on a VPS so
  356. 13:56your brain can be synchronized online
  357. 13:59and you can chat with it directly via
  358. 14:01WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and all
  359. 14:03messaging apps. And right here, it will
  360. 14:06then allow you to always be able to
  361. 14:08chat and have your data even there. So
  362. 14:10the steps to take now are, first,
  363. 14:12create your brain. For that, you can go
  364. 14:14to mlv.sh/fx to get a mini-training
  365. 14:16course to help you get started, and
  366. 14:18above all, a masterclass to understand
  367. 14:20everything you can automate right now,
  368. 14:22regardless of your industry, with AI.
  369. 14:25Second point, get yourself interviewed,
  370. 14:27and third point, connect all the tools
  371. 14:29you have immediately to the AI to get a
  372. 14:31real masterclass in results. Your
  373. 14:33second brain is a folder with an
  374. 14:36agent.md and an about file. You let it
  375. 14:38search on its own and you keep it clean
  376. 14:40. If I show you my folder, it's exactly
  377. 14:44what I showed you on the other slide,
  378. 14:46but we're not going to have 12,000
  379. 14:48folders, you see, we'll keep only a few
  380. 14:50. It's very important. So here, when
  381. 14:53you look at the number of folders we
  382. 14:56have, we have a project folder, a notes
  383. 14:58folder, that's all. And I see a huge
  384. 15:00number of people with code and
  385. 15:02information that becomes complex and so
  386. 15:03on. Let's imagine I want to do video
  387. 15:06editing. If I want to do video editing,
  388. 15:09I won't store that in my brain because
  389. 15:11my brain is my workspace, it's my space
  390. 15:13for reflection. I don't want to mix the
  391. 15:16skills for video editing with the
  392. 15:17skills for managing my thoughts, my
  393. 15:19data, and my business. So what we're
  394. 15:22going to do here is create another
  395. 15:23folder. So here, we'll have our brain
  396. 15:25folder which will, for example, be in
  397. 15:27our documents folder on our computer.
  398. 15:29And then, we're going to do video
  399. 15:30editing, we'll create a video editing
  400. 15:32folder. In this video editing folder,
  401. 15:34we'll put our rushes and so on, as well
  402. 15:36as the video editing skills that we
  403. 15:38will always store in that location.
  404. 15:41This way, we'll separate the
  405. 15:43information and we'll optimize our AI's
  406. 15:45results, which will allow for much
  407. 15:47better outcomes, I assure you. So, the
  408. 15:50masterclass is at mlv.sh/fx, my first
  409. 15:52link below this video. I invite you to
  410. 15:54watch it now. Talk to you soon. Bye bye
  411. 15:56.
