  1. 0:01Every day a new tool comes out, a new
  2. 0:02LLM is released, something that makes
  3. 0:04you think: "Darn, I'm falling behind."
  4. 0:07But there is one single way you can
  5. 0:08shield yourself from this. And that way
  6. 0:11is what everyone, in all my YouTube
  7. 0:13content, is always asking for, and it's
  8. 0:16called a second brain.
  9. 0:18And "second brain" is just a fancy name
  10. 0:20for nothing more than a folder with an
  11. 0:22organization system and files with some
  12. 0:24tools attached that boost your second
  13. 0:27brain.
  14. 0:28And in this video, I want to bring you
  15. 0:30the concept from ground zero, meaning,
  16. 0:32explain to you what a second brain is
  17. 0:34and go through three steps for you to go
  18. 0:37from basic, to intermediate, and reach
  19. 0:39advanced.
  20. 0:40So this is a video where I will explain
  21. 0:42to you how you can build a second brain
  22. 0:44, give your second brain a nice upgrade
  23. 0:46, and how you can organize and architect
  24. 0:48it so you have flexibility, mobility, so
  25. 0:51you aren't held hostage by any company,
  26. 0:53and so you never lose context.
  27. 0:55In other words, your brain will never
  28. 0:57forget anything and you can use any
  29. 0:59company or any AI tool available from
  30. 1:01here on out. Let's get to today's video
  31. 1:03. If you are new here to the channel, I
  32. 1:04am Bruno Camoto and it is a giant
  33. 1:05pleasure to have you here with me. I
  34. 1:06spent the last 10 years of my life
  35. 1:08building startups and, suddenly, I left
  36. 1:10that startup market. I entered the SaaS
  37. 1:12world, spent 4 years talking about
  38. 1:14micro-SaaS, built the largest micro-SaaS
  39. 1:16community in Brazil, and today, I
  40. 1:17dedicate my time and energy to building
  41. 1:19Pixel AI, which is my AI agent
  42. 1:21implementation company for businesses.
  43. 1:23So, man, I love this topic, I study it a
  44. 1:25lot, I live off this, I have over 1,000
  45. 1:27clients that I serve and take care of.
  46. 1:29So, man, it's a topic that I understand
  47. 1:31reasonably well enough to record this
  48. 1:33video and come talk to you guys. And
  49. 1:35today I want to talk about the second
  50. 1:37brain, which in my view is the most
  51. 1:38important thing of all in 2026.
  52. 1:40So, if you don't know what a second
  53. 1:42brain is, in a very simplistic way of
  54. 1:43putting it, the second brain is nothing
  55. 1:45more than a folder.
  56. 1:47It means it's a series of text files,
  57. 1:49right?
  58. 1:50So, the vast majority of text files are
  59. 1:52markdown, and it's a folder where you
  60. 1:54can simply organize things. So, in a
  61. 1:56very raw way of putting it, the second
  62. 1:57brain today, which is this fancy name,
  63. 1:59it tends to have several appearances,
  64. 2:00right? So, people on the internet go
  65. 2:03there and put up a second brain full of
  66. 2:06constellations, showing how various
  67. 2:08little dots clump together and how
  68. 2:11everything connects, right? And it looks
  69. 2:13very pretty. And I could open up 20
  70. 2:15examples for you, but I won't waste time
  71. 2:16with that. On the other hand, I will
  72. 2:18spend 5 seconds here for you. So, this
  73. 2:20right here is an example of a second
  74. 2:22brain. And this second brain has several
  75. 2:24forms, doesn't it?
  76. 2:26From more complex ways to do it with
  77. 2:28tags and a more technical structure, to
  78. 2:31a very simple structure, which is
  79. 2:33nothing more than a second brain based
  80. 2:36on a folder system.
  81. 2:38And a second brain based on a folder
  82. 2:40system is nothing more than, well,
  83. 2:41folders, right?
  84. 2:43So here you have one folder, here you
  85. 2:45have two folders, here you have three,
  86. 2:46here you have four, here you have five
  87. 2:48folders, six, seven, blah blah blah.
  88. 2:50So, in a second brain, you can have
  89. 2:51several folders.
  90. 2:53You can have a folder called areas of
  91. 2:55your company, one called skills; you can
  92. 2:57have a folder about projects, one we can
  93. 3:00have about content, one we can have
  94. 3:02about materials, another we can have
  95. 3:04about finances, and then, I don't know,
  96. 3:06you can create whatever folders you want
  97. 3:08.
  98. 3:09These folders can also be right here on
  99. 3:11your computer. So, here I have several
  100. 3:14folders for several projects, and this
  101. 3:16second brain folder here is my official
  102. 3:18folder, right?
  103. 3:19So here I have the whole structure of my
  104. 3:21Bruno Okamoto second brain, which,
  105. 3:23clearly, lacking creativity, I called
  106. 3:25Okamoto Second Brain. So this second
  107. 3:27folder has the whole structure, right,
  108. 3:29from how it operates to all my content
  109. 3:31and context. And this, man, we are
  110. 3:33talking about context captured over a
  111. 3:34long time, it's almost a year of context
  112. 3:36that I have here, inside these folders,
  113. 3:38right? So I have personal stuff, I have
  114. 3:40marketing, I have my companies, I have
  115. 3:42branding, I have, anyway, a ton of
  116. 3:44really cool things in here, and it's
  117. 3:46nothing more than my second brain. And
  118. 3:48as you can also see, this second brain
  119. 3:50can have several structures. The vast
  120. 3:52majority are just text structures, right
  121. 3:54?
  122. 3:55So we have here my agents, there's even
  123. 3:57the way Claude operates inside this
  124. 3:59structure of mine, because my brain is
  125. 4:01portable.
  126. 4:03So I open it in Claude, I open it in
  127. 4:04Hermes, I open it in Grokbot, which I
  128. 4:06also subscribe to, I open it anywhere,
  129. 4:08right?
  130. 4:09So it is very flexible. So now that you
  131. 4:11understand the concept of a second brain
  132. 4:13, you can see that it's nothing more
  133. 4:14than a sequence of folders. So let's
  134. 4:16talk about how you can build a second
  135. 4:18brain efficiently, effectively, and stay
  136. 4:20mobile, stay fast, never lose context,
  137. 4:22and never forget. There are three major
  138. 4:24steps that we are going to talk about in
  139. 4:26this video. The first step is a free
  140. 4:27step, so you don't need to spend any
  141. 4:29money on it and it's very simple. So the
  142. 4:32first step is for you to work in a free
  143. 4:34way.
  144. 4:35So zero cost here for you to build the
  145. 4:37foundation of this project, of your
  146. 4:39second brain.
  147. 4:40So the tool I recommend for everyone to
  148. 4:42set up a second brain is a tool called
  149. 4:44GitHub. Why do I recommend GitHub?
  150. 4:46Because GitHub is a tool made for
  151. 4:48developers, but it works very well for
  152. 4:51you to work with AI. I say it is a tool
  153. 4:53made for AI, so it works really well.
  154. 4:56Microsoft even bought this company, so
  155. 4:57it's a secure business, it's super safe
  156. 4:59, it has 2FA authentication, you can,
  157. 5:01man, just go for it, it will work out
  158. 5:03fine, okay? So GitHub is a free tool
  159. 5:05that you can use and put everything
  160. 5:08inside it. So what you have to do is
  161. 5:10create your second brain, which is
  162. 5:12nothing more than creating a folder on
  163. 5:14your computer.
  164. 5:15So here we will create a little folder,
  165. 5:17let's call it the brain folder.
  166. 5:19So inside this folder, which is
  167. 5:21basically just clicking on the desktop
  168. 5:22and creating a folder, you will start
  169. 5:24putting your things in there.
  170. 5:26So here we can put, for example, we can
  171. 5:29put our company, right? Here we can also
  172. 5:31put our personal stuff. So you can put a
  173. 5:34folder here and divide it into
  174. 5:36subfolders if you want.
  175. 5:38And then inside company, you put your
  176. 5:41projects, you put the areas where you
  177. 5:43have files, you put the tools you use
  178. 5:45inside a text file, right?
  179. 5:48You can put, man, Word, you can put
  180. 5:50Notion, Docs, it doesn't matter. You can
  181. 5:53plug multiple tools in here. So you keep
  182. 5:56giving context to the AI, which is the
  183. 5:57only way for the AI to understand and
  184. 5:59work with everything you need for your
  185. 6:01business and your day-to-day life.
  186. 6:03And then in personal you can also put
  187. 6:05finances here, so you can connect a
  188. 6:07plug-in, for example, to capture your
  189. 6:09bank statement.
  190. 6:12So it has a way to capture your bank
  191. 6:14statement for reading, and then you can
  192. 6:15automate your finances too, you're
  193. 6:17welcome for the tip, just as you can
  194. 6:19also put your personal controls, bills,
  195. 6:21home, etc. here, and you organize
  196. 6:22everything.
  197. 6:24So this folder is the folder where your
  198. 6:26AI, whether it's Claude, ChatGPT, or
  199. 6:28Hermes, will be able to have the basics
  200. 6:30to work with you.
  201. 6:32And from the moment you start putting
  202. 6:34everything in this folder, your AI
  203. 6:35starts to have more and more context
  204. 6:37about everything you're doing and can
  205. 6:39help you more surgically.
  206. 6:41So, when you reach this first step and
  207. 6:43have set up this basic little folder
  208. 6:45project, my first tip for you is to
  209. 6:46build these canonical files.
  210. 6:49So, these files here, they are very
  211. 6:51interesting. The map is an index that
  212. 6:53you ask your agent to read first.
  213. 6:56So, you come here to your agent and you
  214. 6:58put a file called map inside its folder
  215. 7:00.
  216. 7:01The map.
  217. 7:02MD is nothing more than a series of
  218. 7:04instructions that your agent will read
  219. 7:07to find the folders.
  220. 7:08So, the map. MD, for example, it will
  221. 7:11read what the files are, what each file
  222. 7:13does, what each folder contains, and so
  223. 7:15on. It's a small, it's a small map,
  224. 7:18literally. Yes, it's a small map.
  225. 7:21So, it's an index that allows your agent
  226. 7:23to locate information faster every time
  227. 7:24you open your folder, every time you
  228. 7:26start a session, and so on.
  229. 7:28And that's where my tips for you come in
  230. 7:31. My first tip is for you to create a
  231. 7:33file called hot.
  232. 7:34MD, which is what is alive. So, the hot
  233. 7:36file pulls this from various places,
  234. 7:38right? The example isn't here, but
  235. 7:40basically, it pulls it in.
  236. 7:43So from the moment you connect your
  237. 7:44email, your calendar, you connect your
  238. 7:46CRM, you connect your WhatsApp, you
  239. 7:48connect anything you want to connect,
  240. 7:50you can ask it to create a small
  241. 7:51automation to keep saving everything
  242. 7:53that is hot in your daily life.
  243. 7:56So, my agent, Amora, she saves every day
  244. 7:58from a meeting I had, from my WhatsApp
  245. 8:01that she read, from a YouTube video I
  246. 8:04recorded. It saves what is hot, which
  247. 8:06are things I need to do, things on my
  248. 8:09calendar, it's all in my Notion; the
  249. 8:11source doesn't matter. The second thing
  250. 8:13is a file called People. So, People is
  251. 8:16where it creates a small CRM of every
  252. 8:18person I have interacted with. So, if
  253. 8:20you sent me a message on my WhatsApp,
  254. 8:22you ended up in my People, right? And
  255. 8:24then you say to me: "But Bruno, do you
  256. 8:25authorize everyone to enter your People
  257. 8:27?" No, you can set up small rules, right
  258. 8:29? So, every day my agent sends a message
  259. 8:31on my Telegram with a list of people
  260. 8:33saying who I authorize to enter the
  261. 8:35brain. So, once I authorize that person
  262. 8:37, they go into my People, into my
  263. 8:39pending items, into my hot list; they
  264. 8:41enter the whole structure. Just like I
  265. 8:43have pending items and deadlines, right
  266. 8:44? So, we have pending items and
  267. 8:46deadlines here.
  268. 8:47So, if Ana sent me a message on WhatsApp
  269. 8:49and she is on the list of people
  270. 8:51approved for my second brain, what she
  271. 8:53sent can become hot or a pending item
  272. 8:56based on my agent's or my AI's digestion
  273. 8:58.
  274. 8:58"Oh, but Bruno, how do you perform this
  275. 9:00digestion?" It's very simple, they are
  276. 9:02skills. So, you first create a raw log,
  277. 9:05right? So your AI needs a daily routine
  278. 9:07to pull a log from WhatsApp, email, the
  279. 9:10calendar, and so on. And from that raw
  280. 9:13log, you will perform a digestion. And
  281. 9:15for this digestion, you will use a
  282. 9:17cheaper LLM, like Luna, or even Sol, and
  283. 9:20you have that LLM read and digest
  284. 9:22everything. And from that digestion, it
  285. 9:25updates the hot list, People, pending
  286. 9:27items, decisions, diary, and so on, okay
  287. 9:29? So, in here you have the sessions. So
  288. 9:30, for the sessions, you basically create
  289. 9:32a skill where you ask your AI to save
  290. 9:34the entire session of everything you
  291. 9:36talk about every day. So, Hermes already
  292. 9:38does this automatically by default.
  293. 9:40When you compress the session, it has
  294. 9:42what it calls a 75%threshold, so when it
  295. 9:44hits 75%of the session, it compacts it,
  296. 9:46right?
  297. 9:47Claudinho also has this structure here.
  298. 9:49So, for Claudinho, you can create a
  299. 9:51skill called "save," for example, that
  300. 9:53does exactly that. So, that's the end of
  301. 9:55a session that closes two brains at once
  302. 9:57. So it performs semantic propagation,
  303. 9:59right, in the Mora brain: pending items
  304. 10:00, decisions, people, projects, metrics,
  305. 10:02skills, and maps, you see? This is very
  306. 10:04cool. And it also pushes, right, into my
  307. 10:06company's brain, it's to save things
  308. 10:09from my work there, right? So this is
  309. 10:11very cool, this structure here helps a
  310. 10:13lot. And then you have the memory, right
  311. 10:15, which we already produce automatically
  312. 10:17, and it saves the memory here about who
  313. 10:20the user is and also daily notes. So
  314. 10:22this is step one. It's a little step
  315. 10:24where you have zero cost to get the
  316. 10:26basics of your brain. So, a quick
  317. 10:28conclusion here. You then have your
  318. 10:31brain folder and you have the canonical
  319. 10:33files, which are these main files, okay
  320. 10:36? And it's very easy for you to digest
  321. 10:38this by skill and so on. Take this
  322. 10:39video's description, send it to Soiá,
  323. 10:41and she'll help you set up these files,
  324. 10:43set up the digestion system, and
  325. 10:44everything else. And before moving on to
  326. 10:46the next step, I want to talk about our
  327. 10:48sponsor for today's video, which is
  328. 10:50Hotmart. So, Hotmart is our official
  329. 10:52gateway that we use here at Pixel. And
  330. 10:54man, honestly, I really like it,
  331. 10:55straight talk here, we really like it,
  332. 10:57especially because of the API. I
  333. 10:59personally use their API a lot to know
  334. 11:01what is happening within my courses,
  335. 11:03within my products, within my finances,
  336. 11:05and so on. I also think their
  337. 11:06installment system is very intelligent.
  338. 11:08I also really like their customer
  339. 11:09support. We get excellent support, I
  340. 11:11also really like the documentation, the
  341. 11:13ease of use, anyway. It's a gateway that
  342. 11:15in my view is like light-years ahead of
  343. 11:16the competition and I highly recommend
  344. 11:18it. Thank you Hotmart for sponsoring
  345. 11:20this video here. Let's go to the second
  346. 11:22step, which is the level. So here you
  347. 11:24already start spending a little bit.
  348. 11:27So why do you start spending a little
  349. 11:29bit of money? Because you have to have a
  350. 11:31VPS, okay? So in this case, I recommend
  351. 11:33Hostinger, which is the VPS I always use
  352. 11:35, I always recommend. I think Hostinger
  353. 11:37is the best VPS by far. And Hostinger
  354. 11:39has this 43 buck plan that you can come
  355. 11:41here and get. Or you can get this 29 one
  356. 11:44, it covers it, but man, I think it's
  357. 11:46too little. So maybe this 100 one works
  358. 11:48well. You can come here to choose your
  359. 11:50plan and use the coupon that's in my
  360. 11:51description along with the link.
  361. 11:53And you can enter your coupon here,
  362. 11:55apply it, and you'll get an extra 10%
  363. 11:57discount.
  364. 11:58Then you come here, set it to Ubuntu,
  365. 12:00choose the version they recommend, which
  366. 12:02is 24.04, confirm, and create your VPS.
  367. 12:05Simple as that. So, what are you going
  368. 12:06to do in this second step here? We are
  369. 12:08going to install a directory called
  370. 12:10JBrain.
  371. 12:11JBrain is when you start to index your
  372. 12:14files offline.
  373. 12:16And it starts to work in a much simpler
  374. 12:19way for you to find things, right?
  375. 12:21Finding files, finding documents,
  376. 12:23finding texts, finding everything. All
  377. 12:25right? So, JBrain works really well for
  378. 12:28several tools.
  379. 12:29It works for Grok, Botkit, Claude,
  380. 12:32Hermes, and OpenAI. It's kind of a
  381. 12:35wildcard, right? It was built by Gary
  382. 12:37Tan, who is the president and CEO of Y
  383. 12:39Combinator. And he said his challenge is
  384. 12:42that he has like 1,500 pages, 25,000
  385. 12:44people, and 5,340 companies within his
  386. 12:46structure.
  387. 12:47And he said: "Man, I need to take and
  388. 12:49look at all these meetings, emails,
  389. 12:51tweets, everything I'm doing.
  390. 12:53This stuff needs to be processed, it
  391. 12:55needs to be enriched, it needs to be
  392. 12:57digested, and the structure of an agent
  393. 12:58wasn't made to hold that much data."
  394. 13:01So he built JBrain in a very simple way
  395. 13:03, so to speak. And JBrain is nothing
  396. 13:05more than you taking this repository as
  397. 13:07well, which I'll leave the link for in
  398. 13:09the description, and asking your AI to
  399. 13:10install JBrain. It doesn't matter which
  400. 13:12AI you install it on. You just send the
  401. 13:14repository to it and say: "Install
  402. 13:16JBrain, test it, and tell me if it's
  403. 13:17working." I won't even leave the prompt
  404. 13:19, man, because it's ridiculously simple
  405. 13:21. Once you run the prompt, right? So
  406. 13:23let's put it here, look. Claude, I want
  407. 13:25you to install JBrain here, run a test,
  408. 13:29and show me how it works. Very simple
  409. 13:31like that. It will install JBrain here.
  410. 13:33Let's let Opus think for a little bit.
  411. 13:35And then we'll talk about JBrain. JBrain
  412. 13:38has this response with sources, okay? It
  413. 13:40also uses an API for indexing, but you
  414. 13:43can use a very cheap API, I don't know,
  415. 13:45man, I spend like 1 or 2 dollars a month
  416. 13:48for it to find, like, files in the brain
  417. 13:50. So it's very cheap, but you start to
  418. 13:52have that cost, right, of the VPS,
  419. 13:53indexing, and so on. So when you have
  420. 13:55the map, the map functions as a summary
  421. 13:57for your AI. So you have a summary and
  422. 13:59you can have summaries inside the
  423. 14:01folders.
  424. 14:03So you can have a global map and inside
  425. 14:05each folder you can have a folder map.
  426. 14:07Inside the skills folder you can have a
  427. 14:10map of all the skills and what they do
  428. 14:12and when you last updated them. Anyway,
  429. 14:14documentation. That is the basic. So the
  430. 14:17map points to places and helps you have
  431. 14:19a compass within your structure. Here,
  432. 14:21JeBrain finds files by subject. So, its
  433. 14:25search, in a very crude way of putting
  434. 14:27it, is that it searches for things as if
  435. 14:28it were Google. So it goes there, you
  436. 14:30type things in, it indexes, searches,
  437. 14:32finds everything in a fraction of a
  438. 14:34second, and it works very well, okay? So
  439. 14:36, for an example of JeBrain here, what I
  440. 14:38agreed on with Ana, it will look at the
  441. 14:39daily note, right, that we mentioned
  442. 14:41earlier. So, you have the daily notes
  443. 14:43here. Then it will look at what you
  444. 14:44agreed on with Ana. It will look at the
  445. 14:46daily note, contact by Friday, exit
  446. 14:48clause. So it will look from the most
  447. 14:50relevant to the least relevant and it
  448. 14:52will check the file precisely. So it
  449. 14:54will look there at people/Ana and know
  450. 14:56that everything is right, that Ana
  451. 14:57really said that and so on. So it finds
  452. 15:00Ana in various places, in pending items
  453. 15:02, in people, in the daily notes, in all
  454. 15:05places, okay? So once you have the map,
  455. 15:07you can also have maps, just like the
  456. 15:09example I was giving, inside the folders
  457. 15:11. So you can have a map that explains
  458. 15:13the client folders, what each folder is
  459. 15:15.
  460. 15:16You can have a map within the content
  461. 15:17area about the types of scripts you make
  462. 15:19, thumbnails, newsletters, and so on.
  463. 15:21So, the map is a compass. It is very
  464. 15:23important for any AI to find its way
  465. 15:24around in there. So, this second step,
  466. 15:26it is a very cool, very simple step,
  467. 15:28right? Looking here at the cloud, in my
  468. 15:30case, I already have JeBrain installed,
  469. 15:32right? So it will put it here, it's
  470. 15:33putting it in correctly, blah, blah,
  471. 15:35blah, and it's installing. Very simple,
  472. 15:37once again. In 2 minutes here it has
  473. 15:38already started to install. We'll come
  474. 15:40back later to see it working. And now
  475. 15:42let's move to the last step, which is
  476. 15:44the level where I consider you've
  477. 15:46reached a very comfortable place. You'll
  478. 15:48ask me: "But Bruno, is this step the
  479. 15:50ultimate peak?" Like, I'm a big nerd,
  480. 15:52just like you, and I want to know
  481. 15:53everything about a second brain. Is this
  482. 15:55the place for that? Is this our gold cup
  483. 15:58, our holy grail? I would say no. But I
  484. 16:02would say that here it will hold your
  485. 16:04structure very well. Because to be quite
  486. 16:06honest, I feel there is no ultimate peak
  487. 16:08in the AI era. Like, you can install 25
  488. 16:10different plugins, tools, and brain MCPs
  489. 16:13, and you might have a brain that works
  490. 16:15great, or sometimes you might be
  491. 16:17over-engineering it, right? Which is
  492. 16:19what we call over-engineering. So the
  493. 16:21truth is that this structure is the
  494. 16:22bread and butter that works very well
  495. 16:24for me. And for my company today, with
  496. 16:26about 30-something people, with so many
  497. 16:28things running, lots of context, lots of
  498. 16:30meetings, it has held everything
  499. 16:32together really well. So if you have a
  500. 16:34smaller company or one with less context
  501. 16:37, man, it's super easy, okay? Brain,
  502. 16:39storing subjects, people, decisions, all
  503. 16:41perfectly organized. And now we have
  504. 16:43this brother here called Roncho. So,
  505. 16:46Roncho is this guy right here. He is a
  506. 16:48memory that learns about the user. And
  507. 16:51the coolest thing is that it is
  508. 16:53single-player and multiplayer. It means
  509. 16:54that if you put it in your company's
  510. 16:57Teams or Slack, it can identify people
  511. 16:59by phone number, user ID, or email. It
  512. 17:02doesn't matter how the user is
  513. 17:03identified, it manages to save specific
  514. 17:05traits for those users. So it knows who
  515. 17:07Bruno is, it knows Fabi, it knows
  516. 17:09Gabriel, it knows Mateus, and it manages
  517. 17:11to save traits of that personality.
  518. 17:13Roncho also works within the same VPS
  519. 17:15where you put the Brain. So you can
  520. 17:17install both, which is why the cost
  521. 17:19doesn't end up growing and stays
  522. 17:21stagnant at around 40 to 50 reais per
  523. 17:22month. Except that while in the Brain we
  524. 17:25have subjects, people, and decisions. In
  525. 17:27Roncho, we have preferences and tone
  526. 17:29here, right? So, Bruno prefers short or
  527. 17:32more elaborate answers. Bruno likes this
  528. 17:34, Bruno prefers that, Bruno decided this
  529. 17:37, Bruno did that.
  530. 17:39So it's a place that understands my
  531. 17:40profile, my patterns, what I do, and how
  532. 17:42I do it.
  533. 17:44Roncho also has an open-source version.
  534. 17:47So, if you come here to Roncho and
  535. 17:48install it by creating an account on
  536. 17:50their site, you can, and they even give
  537. 17:52you some to start using Roncho.
  538. 17:55I personally used Roncho, okay? I even
  539. 17:57have my account connected here, but man
  540. 18:00, I just realized I have 27 sitting here
  541. 18:03. Man, talk about throwing money away.
  542. 18:05It probably set it to automatic. It
  543. 18:08didn't, man, just look. Anyway, at some
  544. 18:10point in my life, I decided I wouldn't
  545. 18:12use their API anymore. Man, their API is
  546. 18:14very cheap. So, the $ they give you at
  547. 18:16the start, you can use for like a month
  548. 18:18. It is very cheap. However, once you
  549. 18:20start scaling and have many people using
  550. 18:22Roncho, or you've been using it for a
  551. 18:24long time, those $ 5 start to run out.
  552. 18:26And then you end up doing something
  553. 18:27stupid like me, dumping credit in there
  554. 18:29and it becomes just another tool I
  555. 18:30dumped money into without having any
  556. 18:32control over it, right? I dump money
  557. 18:33into OpenRouter, into Roncho, and so on
  558. 18:35. And sometimes you just keep leaving $
  559. 18:36100 there and I just want to die. But
  560. 18:38the cool thing about Roncho is that you
  561. 18:40can also get its open-source version. So
  562. 18:42you have this version here, see, of
  563. 18:43Roncho, which is this repository, the
  564. 18:45link is also here in the description,
  565. 18:46and you're going to take Roncho and
  566. 18:48install it as well. So it's very simple
  567. 18:50to install. I'll put it here: "Claude, I
  568. 18:52want you to install Roncho on the same
  569. 18:54VPS as Jbrain." In this case, I'm not
  570. 18:56installing on the VPS, right, Roncho.
  571. 18:58I want you to test it and explain to me
  572. 19:01how it works and how you, or in this
  573. 19:04case, my agents can also pull context
  574. 19:07from it to work better with me.
  575. 19:10So, guys, a very simple prompt.
  576. 19:13The message is: install it, explain how
  577. 19:15it works, and give me examples of how we
  578. 19:17can use you.
  579. 19:18So, in Roncho's case, it has a different
  580. 19:21issue compared to Jbrain, okay? So this
  581. 19:23is an important point for us to talk
  582. 19:25about briefly here. So Jbrain and Roncho
  583. 19:27, they work like this. Jbrain is
  584. 19:28on-demand, so it will look for something
  585. 19:31when you ask it to look for something.
  586. 19:34Now, Roncho has several work formats,
  587. 19:37and it even ingests context at the
  588. 19:40beginning of each session.
  589. 19:43So Roncho performs this ingestion, right
  590. 19:45?
  591. 19:47Roncho has several work formats and has
  592. 19:49several ways to inject context when it
  593. 19:51starts a session.
  594. 19:53So, in this case, I asked Mora how
  595. 19:55Roncho works, right? So, she explained
  596. 19:57here, look, let me zoom in for you.
  597. 19:59Roncho is running here on this Mora
  598. 20:01server in the Hermes Workspace, blah
  599. 20:03blah, identity, right?
  600. 20:04Session. So, the way it's running now is
  601. 20:07in this model called per-session.
  602. 20:09So, that's how Roncho turns each
  603. 20:12conversation into a Roncho session. So,
  604. 20:14there were 102 sessions, sorry, 62
  605. 20:17sessions, 602 conversations, okay? So,
  606. 20:20how does it work, right? How does
  607. 20:21context enter each session? Roncho has
  608. 20:24Roncho profile, it has Roncho reasoning
  609. 20:27, Roncho search, context, and conclude,
  610. 20:30right? So, a summarized card, the
  611. 20:32cheapest query, a synthesized answer,
  612. 20:34right? As Bruno prefers, search, right?
  613. 20:37How it searches for conversation
  614. 20:39snippets, a raw portrait of Bruno and
  615. 20:41that conversation in that session, and
  616. 20:43it saves a durable preference of mine,
  617. 20:45right? So, who decides when to query is
  618. 20:48the agent's rule.
  619. 20:51So, you define how your agent should
  620. 20:53query Roncho, whether it should query
  621. 20:54all the time or not query all the time.
  622. 20:57Remembering that every time you query
  623. 20:59Roncho, you decrease your session
  624. 21:01context because it will inject the
  625. 21:02session context there.
  626. 21:04So, you have several ways to define how
  627. 21:06you will inject it. And Hermesis, for
  628. 21:08example, in this case, has a Roncho
  629. 21:10plugin that has three ways to accept a
  630. 21:12context injection. The first is the
  631. 21:15hybrid model, so it automatically
  632. 21:17injects the context and also releases
  633. 21:20the tools. It has the context, where it
  634. 21:23only does automatic injection without
  635. 21:25tools, and it has tools, which is just
  636. 21:28tools. When to inject, so here is the
  637. 21:29frequency. So, in this case, it can
  638. 21:31place it in every turn or only in the
  639. 21:33first turn, that is, only when starting
  640. 21:34a session. So, if you are in an infinite
  641. 21:36loop just compressing the session, like
  642. 21:38, for example, chatting on Telegram
  643. 21:40without typing/new, it will only inject
  644. 21:42it at the beginning of the first session
  645. 21:44. Then you have the cadence, right, and
  646. 21:46the quantity, right, dialectic.
  647. 21:50which is set to eight, right? So, how
  648. 21:52many turns does Roncho's reasoning run,
  649. 21:54recall, blah blah. So, when injecting,
  650. 21:56uh, it has a more technical structure
  651. 21:58here, right? So, man, this is the Roncho
  652. 22:00structure, like, in a very simple way,
  653. 22:02okay? Uh, Roncho broke for some reason
  654. 22:05here. It just notified me that the
  655. 22:06plugin was reinstalled. Oh, and also
  656. 22:08because Hermes had a cool update, so it
  657. 22:10ended up changing.
  658. 22:11And so Roncho, man, it works this way,
  659. 22:13where it has this data it injects into
  660. 22:15the sessions and such, so it is more
  661. 22:17active than JBrink, which was more
  662. 22:19reactive in its searches.
  663. 22:21And finally, man, I built this little
  664. 22:23engine here. It's a very simple little
  665. 22:26engine that I call the Context Ledger.
  666. 22:28So what does it do, okay? The context
  667. 22:31ledger identifies where the signals come
  668. 22:34from.
  669. 22:35So it's like it keeps grabbing keywords
  670. 22:37every day, okay?
  671. 22:38So it takes here, for example, and says
  672. 22:41: "Look, on the 26th, 10, 14, in the
  673. 22:43WhatsApp source, Ana, a person sent a
  674. 22:45contract today, the reference is on this
  675. 22:48date here, which is where it pulled the
  676. 22:50conversation." So it saves it here. So
  677. 22:52it identifies the signals.
  678. 22:55So it puts WhatsApp, email, granola,
  679. 22:56right, which is my transcription.
  680. 22:59So it's always picking up things that
  681. 23:00are tags, right? What is the next step?
  682. 23:03Accountant, invoice, did it arrive, was
  683. 23:05it invoiced? So they are several
  684. 23:07keywords in a log.
  685. 23:11When it hits 90 days, it archives the
  686. 23:13last 30 days and keeps saving so it
  687. 23:15always has these 60 days of context. So
  688. 23:18it's always pushing 30 days, archiving
  689. 23:19the last month, push, archive the last
  690. 23:21month, and then it goes on saving in the
  691. 23:23archive. So if one day I need to search
  692. 23:25for some information from this Ledger,
  693. 23:27Jebrain will find it. And then inside
  694. 23:28the agents, right?
  695. 23:30So inside this file, which can also be
  696. 23:32your cloud.md, for example, it explains
  697. 23:35that every time it loads my brain, it
  698. 23:37loads my structure, it has to load this
  699. 23:39ledger so it knows where to find things
  700. 23:41.
  701. 23:43So, it's just a simpler way for it to
  702. 23:45locate things faster and have context of
  703. 23:47where everything came from.
  704. 23:49Because sometimes it has to keep
  705. 23:50searching, if your brain is too big and
  706. 23:53you index, like, files of 30 employees,
  707. 23:55of 50, 100 employees, it starts to get
  708. 23:57very heavy.
  709. 23:58So this ledger helps to reduce it a bit
  710. 24:00, but it's just a thesis, I'm not even
  711. 24:01sure if it makes sense, in my view it's
  712. 24:03a thesis.
  713. 24:04Anyway, if you have a suggestion, or
  714. 24:06disagree, comment below. I love learning
  715. 24:08from you, okay? So, guys, this is it.
  716. 24:10This is the third step. And I'll leave
  717. 24:12you with a challenge, right? What is
  718. 24:13your step today? Are you on a free
  719. 24:16search level or one that knows you? For
  720. 24:19you to get there: GitHub, Gbrain, Maps,
  721. 24:22Gbrain plus Roncho, and the Context
  722. 24:25Ledger. It's just an extra bonus. And
  723. 24:27then you decide if you want to create it
  724. 24:28or not. You can create it again from the
  725. 24:30transcript of this video and it will
  726. 24:31work, okay? So folks, this is my video
  727. 24:34explaining how you can move from the
  728. 24:36first step to the third step, how you go
  729. 24:39from a free system that works very well
  730. 24:42and functions as a backup to a search
  731. 24:44system, to a system that knows you,
