Hey, friends. I posted a video last week about how to build your own second brain with AI and Obsidian. A bunch of friends in the background said that the method was understood, but I still don't know how to do it. Can you make a tutorial video? To be honest, I understand everyone's feelings because I am actually not born with a technical background. Actually, I didn't even know what HTML is before. But
today I can tell you very responsibly. These things are all paper tigers. It's scary
to look at. In fact, you just move your hands a few steps. So in
this video, I plan to take you from scratch. Build a second brain. What software
to download and where to install it. What should I say to AI in the first sentence? How can I get him to help you organize your notes? I will
first sentence? How can I get him to help you organize your notes? I will
explain everything. Just follow me. So this video may be a bit long I suggest you can click on the collection first When you need it, you can come back and follow step by step. Let's get started. The first step is to prepare our tools The first is our notebook software Obsidian Obsidian is a free document stored in a local notebook software All of its notes are stored in the form of Markdown
What is Markdown? We will talk about it in detail later Now the software that appears on the screen is the Obsidian software. First of all, let's go to the official website. Here is obsidian.md. This is its official website. Whether you are an Apple
official website. Here is obsidian.md. This is its official website. Whether you are an Apple computer or a Windows computer, you can actually go directly to the official website to download. And now it can be used by all platforms. Cell phones, tablets, computers can
download. And now it can be used by all platforms. Cell phones, tablets, computers can be installed. Here I need to mention the synchronization. Notebook software itself is free. If
be installed. Here I need to mention the synchronization. Notebook software itself is free. If
you want to synchronize notes, it is used on the phone and on the computer at the same time. It has a paid program. It's four dollars a month. The
principle is to upload your local notes on your computer to their official server. Then
when you open it on your phone, it will fall out of the server. Then
you can check it on your phone. If you don't want to spend this $4, there are also free solutions. And a lot of them. Here I have to mention the most powerful place of Obsidian, which is its plug-in market. First, let's come to the interface of Obsidian Notebook. Then we have a setting on the lower left corner.
You click it. We can see that there is a core plug-in on the left side. This core plug-in is its Obsidian Notebook. Some of the shortcuts in the notebook,
side. This core plug-in is its Obsidian Notebook. Some of the shortcuts in the notebook, such as the whiteboard, the notebook is reshuffled. If you need these functions, you can just click on it and open it. The third shortcut is here. First of all, if you open your notebook software for the first time, it should be in a safe mode here. We turn off this safe mode and then you can see that
there is a community shortcut market here. Then we browse the community shortcut market.
remotely safe Just click on "Agreed" You can see that the first option is to choose a
remote server like Dropbox or OneDrive I personally choose OneDrive Its principle is actually the same as the official synchronization method I just said that the synchronization principle is actually to upload your local notes to the server Since the official server is to charge We can find a non-charging server here So OneDrive is currently not charged. So we
are here to connect our own OneDrive server. OneDrive currently has a free fee for individuals. About 200 GB. Because most of our notes are in the form of text.
individuals. About 200 GB. Because most of our notes are in the form of text.
So it's basically enough.
- First, it will definitely let you build a warehouse. Then you build a warehouse and
give your warehouse a name and then choose a location. Then I choose my second brain here. I will store it directly on the desktop for everyone to see. After
brain here. I will store it directly on the desktop for everyone to see. After
clicking, you can enter the notebook software after clicking on the window. The mark on the left side is some of the plugins it brought by itself. The first big column is the file system. You create a file system here. The local folder will also create one. For example, I create a folder here. I give it a name called learning. Okay, let's open the location of the warehouse that we just selected on
called learning. Okay, let's open the location of the warehouse that we just selected on our computer. You can see that the folder I just built will also appear here.
our computer. You can see that the folder I just built will also appear here.
It's also called a learning. Then we can make a comparison. I created this folder in the notebook area. Then it will also be created in my local area. My
notebook file is this Markdown format, which is .md. In other words, all the notes you created in Obsidian are in the form of .md. For example, we are going to create a notebook now. I will show you. You can click on the + sign, the new label page, and then create a new file. Then this is a title. For example, we Just write it down and you can enter your content. Next,
title. For example, we Just write it down and you can enter your content. Next,
I will focus on introducing the Markdown format for everyone. Then here you directly enter the text. It just shows the form of the text. It is different from other
the text. It just shows the form of the text. It is different from other notebooks. There will be this title 1 and title 2. It won't appear here. You
notebooks. There will be this title 1 and title 2. It won't appear here. You
need to manually enter it. For example, I want to write my title number 1 now. Then I want to enlarge it. How to do that? Just add a well
now. Then I want to enlarge it. How to do that? Just add a well in front. and then the space bar, and then it becomes a level 1 title.
in front. and then the space bar, and then it becomes a level 1 title.
If two spaces are empty, it becomes a level 2 title. One type of push, three spaces, is a level 3 title. And then the text. We can also use the shortcut control + b to add black. On the Apple computer, it's command + b. You can see that it directly appears. The first two signals, the second two
b. You can see that it directly appears. The first two signals, the second two signals, it's an accelerated format. If it's a coaxial format, then it's the same. Just
command. plus i, it becomes a sub-syllable. The sub-syllable is a signal in front. It
looks complicated, but in fact, in the real daily use process, there are only a few that are often used every day. I may use the most common ones, which are the first-level titles, second-level titles, etc. It's really not complicated. You may write a few more notes, and you can basically master it by hand. Another feature I like is the double link. There are two square numbers. You can fill in the
name of the note. For example, I want to build a new note. The
square number is related to learning. For example, I mentioned a book. After the
double number, it becomes a link. In fact, you can also see the relationship chart on my right. It also adds a new book label. If I click on this book, it will open up into a new note. I can write some content about this book under this book. Then you can continue to add under this book. You
can add notes that have already been added. You can also add new notes. For
example, Chalbus. OK, you see I add Jobs here, he has a new link again.
OK, I can continue to click on it. Then he opened Jobs and gave a note. If you completely build a note in the bucket, for example, you call this
note. If you completely build a note in the bucket, for example, you call this note a movie. OK, call a movie. Then it will also appear separately because it didn't mention any other notes in this note. It will appear here separately. If you
are in this note, you think about this movie, it may be related to the book you wrote before. Then you just put two brackets and then click on this book. It will automatically be linked. Then your movie It's connected to a book. And
book. It will automatically be linked. Then your movie It's connected to a book. And
this neural network diagram, this relationship diagram, is the biggest difference between the Obsidian notebook and other ordinary notebooks. If you use it for a long time, your network diagram will become more and more extensive and more and more perfect. It's a bit similar to the neural network circle of our human brain. This is also a point that
I like very much. I can show you what my usual notebook looks like.
现在画面上展示的就是我自己个人平时常用的笔记的神经网络图。
现在可以看到它基本上已经有很多了。
周围这些散落的就是我以前写的一些日记。
后来中间这些就是最近使用了第二大脑之后, 加上了我的知识库内容之后,然后AI帮我进行了一个整理。
然后你可以看到很多的神经网络它都已经连接起来了。 Obsidian has a very powerful function. I think everyone doesn't have to worry about it. When you download this notebook,
function. I think everyone doesn't have to worry about it. When you download this notebook, you don't have to install a lot of plugins like me. You can use its most basic function, use its simplest function to record your daily life. The most important thing is to record your diary and your thoughts. You can record all the things
you write in this notebook. Then in the process of your use, if you need any shortcuts, for example, you think you need a whiteboard shortcut, then download the whiteboard shortcut, or you need some of the table of contents functions, then you download the table of contents shortcut again. Then you can improve your notes little by little. Then
your C-DiEM note tool will become the most convenient and your favorite mode for your use. If I now introduce all the shortcuts I use to you, Maybe you don't
use. If I now introduce all the shortcuts I use to you, Maybe you don't need a lot of them and they look complicated. So I don't think we should just go up and install too many plugins. You can improve it little by little according to your own needs. After talking about our notebook itself, I will talk about
a small function that many people may ignore. That is the CLI command line tool.
When it is built with AI Agent, it is also a very important function. You
can download your notes from the 1.12 version. If you downloaded it before, I recommend you to update to the 1.12 version. Because after the 1.12 version, it will bring a command line interface. We need to open the command line interface. When you open it for the first time, a dialogue box will appear. Set CLI. you can see
the top right corner, it says it has already registered the path. It
will register by itself, it doesn't need us to do anything manually. Then
it will be registered and completed. What is the use of this? Simply put, you can directly open your Obsidian warehouse with the command line at the end. The writing
to be operated after AI Inject is simple. You can rely on this. I have
also introduced this in detail in a previous video. Let me briefly introduce it to you here. If you are using it for the first time, you need to manually
you here. If you are using it for the first time, you need to manually turn it on once, and then you don't have to worry about it. The settings
of Windows may be a little different from that of Apple computers. You can find a lot of tutorials on the Internet. Okay, let's get ready for our second tool.
The second tool is our AI Agent. If you are overseas and can use Cloud Code, I recommend Cloud Code. Because I currently use Cloud Code's Pro membership version. It's
about $20 a month, which is about RMB 140, which is the price of a hot pot. I think so. If you look at it now, the good AI agents
hot pot. I think so. If you look at it now, the good AI agents are basically all going to cost money. Since it's going to cost money, why don't we use the best? And for an ordinary user, the PRO version is basically enough.
If you have more web coding projects, if you have more AI programming projects, There are also many other alternative solutions, such as Cursor, which costs $20 a month, but its price is much higher than Cloud Code. But to be honest, you can eat less hot pot in a month, but you can use the big model of the front row in the industry, This experience is really very cost-effective. It's really more than
a hot pot can bring you this fun. And CloudCode's mother company, Arthrepic, is also a big factory. So its big factory products, I think it can be assured in terms of safety. It can operate your computer, manage your files. All the actions will basically be approved by you. It will let you confirm every step. If you can't
use Cloud Code, I recommend Hermes. Hermes is similar to crayfish, but it's an AI agent. It doesn't bind to specific models.
You can choose based on your budget. DeepSeq is the most cost-effective. DeepSeq has released its V4 version, and the price is
cost-effective. DeepSeq has released its V4 version, and the price is lower. I am currently using the 2.5 version of Kimi and Kimi also released the
lower. I am currently using the 2.5 version of Kimi and Kimi also released the 2.6 version now. So you can choose this according to your personal economic situation. About
Hermes' installation, I also released a video before. I talked about the whole process from downloading to configuration. If you need it, you can go to that video. Windows installation
may be a little different and a little complicated. But in fact, many big guys have already done this one-click installation method. You can go to the blogger Mao Ba Liao AI. He came up with a set of Windows one-click installation Hermes method. After
Liao AI. He came up with a set of Windows one-click installation Hermes method. After
the tools are ready, we will enter our third step, which is to build. LLM
Wiki's knowledge library. This step is actually surprisingly simple. If you use Cloud Code, the operation is basically like this. First, open your middle. How to open the middle? If
you are an Apple computer, just command + control, then search here, directly enter "middle".
The black box is the middle. First, we need to locate the Obsidian warehouse.
We can verify if the Obsidian command line we just opened is successfully installed.
We can enter the Obsidian version here. You can see that if an Obsidian version number appears here, it means that the command line has been successfully installed.
That means your AI can directly call the Obsidian command line. How do we get the A in your folder? First, we need to locate your notebook warehouse. How do
you know the address of your notebook warehouse? There are two ways. First, you come to the notebook. Then, right-click on the name of the small warehouse on the left.
There is a copy path here. Then we copy the path. Then go back to our middle. Then cd. Then you can use the control grid to paste the path
our middle. Then cd. Then you can use the control grid to paste the path and then go back to the car. And then your middle end, it's now located on your notebook warehouse. This step looks complicated, but this command is really very common in the future. If you don't want to learn any of these commands, but I still recommend you to learn the command of CD.
cloud
Then directly enter Cloud and then go back to the car. Then wait a moment.
This is where the Cloud Code logo appears. That is, Cloud Code has been opened.
And it has now been updated to the latest version 4.7. OK, now we can install our knowledge library. You just need to say this to him. Let him learn LLM Wiki. I copied an address of the warehouse. This is the structure of the
LLM Wiki. I copied an address of the warehouse. This is the structure of the knowledge library warehouse of Capacit, which I introduced in the previous video. This is an address on GitHub. Then you paste this address to him. Then let him say, help me in my and build a set of exactly the same knowledge library in the
warehouse. If we are used to using Chinese, by the way, add a sentence output
warehouse. If we are used to using Chinese, by the way, add a sentence output all in Chinese and then send it to him like this. After that, your AI will ask you a few questions. You can just answer one according to your situation.
For example, he will ask you to divide into several categories and then use what kind of naming habits. Do you want to add all of these? He will ask you and then you will answer one according to your own habit. If you use Hermes, That's even easier. Because Hermes has already pre-installed the SKU set. For example, we can also call Hermes here. Then the first step is to locate your warehouse note
and call Hermes. and then your Hermes will open. After opening, we will directly tell it to build the LLM Wiki in my warehouse. It will automatically generate the corresponding file structure for you. Then these three file structures will appear in your notebook warehouse.
One is raw, one is wiki, and output. As we mentioned in our previous video, you can put any good articles you find online directly in RAW. And you can throw them directly into RAW. And Wiki is the content after AI has organized it for you. And Outputs is the conclusion articles after you have discussed with AI. After
for you. And Outputs is the conclusion articles after you have discussed with AI. After
the knowledge library is built, the next question is how to collect content inside. First
of all, I would like to recommend a useful plugin for you, which is Obsidian Web Clipper. When you are browsing the web page, you can add articles that are
Web Clipper. When you are browsing the web page, you can add articles that are worth saving. It will directly save the corresponding files in the notebook. For example, I
worth saving. It will directly save the corresponding files in the notebook. For example, I just open an article now. For example, I opened Twitter, which is a post by Dan Cohen. How to fix your entire life in one day. Then we click on
Dan Cohen. How to fix your entire life in one day. Then we click on this article and we can click on this plugin directly. Then here it will let you add it to the Obsidian notebook. Then here is my cloud warehouse notebook. Then
the file folder is RAW. Then just add it. It will be added to my notebook warehouse. If you install it for the first time, it can't be stored directly
notebook warehouse. If you install it for the first time, it can't be stored directly under the file folder of your RAW. Then you can make a setting here. Just
open this plug-in. Then there is a setting in the upper right corner. Click it.
Then there is a default template here. Click on the default template. You can name it. The position here is the behavior. Every time you save a new notebook, it
it. The position here is the behavior. Every time you save a new notebook, it will be created into a new notebook. Or the text of the existing notebook. Then
you can adjust it yourself. The format of the notebook is the date plus a title of the article. and then appear in this format. The position of the notebook, here, because I chose RAW file, you can also choose according to your own situation, where you want this notebook to be stored. After setting it up, you can add
it directly with one click. That's the daily use process. Usually, the good articles you brush are collected by WebClipper. Then, if you have time at night, you can call your AI, whether it's Cloud or Hermes, and tell it to help me organize the new articles I added today. It will automatically help you to classify the articles, categorize
the themes, and fill in the labels to add new materials. I am responsible for editing this process. AI is responsible for organizing it. I call it the "storage worker workflow". It has now been organized and completed. It has processed 12 unorganized files. Four
workflow". It has now been organized and completed. It has processed 12 unorganized files. Four
files are already in the wiki, but the status is not updated. It is marked as processed. Then add 8 new files. And then it's all here. It's already added
as processed. Then add 8 new files. And then it's all here. It's already added and finished. Usually, if AI helps you organize it, we can come to this Wiki.
and finished. Usually, if AI helps you organize it, we can come to this Wiki.
It will turn all the knowledge you have collected into one piece of knowledge point.
For example, I have a few articles about the second brain. Then we click on the second brain, we can see about What are the main contents of the second brain? Recently, I have learned some lucky science. What is lucky science? First, it has
brain? Recently, I have learned some lucky science. What is lucky science? First, it has a definition and then a decoding. Then at the end, it will tell you which notebook it is from and what is the source of it. In this way, we don't have to read from the original documents one by one. If we want to learn these concepts, we can just open your wiki and do a survey. The fourth
step is to establish a thinking command. The third step is to collect. The fourth
step is to use. In the last video, I also introduced the command of 12 thoughts. I also put the document in the comment section of the first article. If
thoughts. I also put the document in the comment section of the first article. If
you need it, you can go and see it. I will show you here.
graduate This is also one of my favorite. After you enter this order, it will help you scan your diary for the next 14 days to find the most worth-to-have semi-finished
product idea. Create independent documents for each idea, and then attach the core point related
product idea. Create independent documents for each idea, and then attach the core point related links. This can be used when you pay for it every week. How to use
links. This can be used when you pay for it every week. How to use it is the same. Open our middle end, locate your notebook warehouse, and call your AI agent. Let me show you the Graduates I use. Open AI and write "graduates".
AI agent. Let me show you the Graduates I use. Open AI and write "graduates".
If you use it often, it will appear here. You can choose it. The first
one is the idea of upgrading the finished product. Select it and it will help you. You don't need to type a long text to explain what you want to
you. You don't need to type a long text to explain what you want to do. It will follow the order you set before and execute it directly. After I
do. It will follow the order you set before and execute it directly. After I
finished the "Granjoise" I have organized my AI. For example, it has organized four articles from my diary in the last 14 days. They are worth me to think about and write articles about. OK, let's go back to our command. How
to create a new command? Just tell your AI directly. Tell him to help you create a command. Then this command has a function. That's it. In fact,
there are far more than 12 commands in our lives. You can completely build a set of your own command system. You can create a personal command based on your personal needs, your work needs, your life needs. For example, after I posted the video, someone asked me in the comments section if I could help him think
about his business project with my second brain system. In fact, it's totally possible. You
can create a command of your own and let him do a few things. For
example, help you find out all your notes related to a certain business project. and
organize them according to the timeline to show how this idea is evolved, which of the solutions you have tried and failed, and which of the solutions you haven't started to act on. All of these can be set according to your personal situation. Just
tell your AI directly, just tell your AI directly. I think many of our newbies have a misunderstanding when using AI. You always think you should make it very clear and communicate with your AI. Then you are struggling to to say the first word to AI. But in fact, I think you don't have to be entangled at all.
to AI. But in fact, I think you don't have to be entangled at all.
You just treat him as a friend of yours. Then use your thoughts directly, in a very eloquent way, to tell him directly. You look at his reaction to you.
If he meets your requirements, you can continue to execute it. If it does not meet your requirements, you can make a change. You just treat him as your subordinate, as your assistant. You have to use him, to educate him, that's all you have to do. So when you are using AI, don't have any psychological burden.
to do. So when you are using AI, don't have any psychological burden.
用就完了那说到这里呢我有一个挺好玩的一个玩法就是之前有一个大佬呢征留了一些名人的skill 比如说乔布斯的思维马斯克的思维那你可以把这些skill装在你的 ai里面 你就可以让你的ai用乔布斯的视角来分析你现在的商业计划
那是不是真的就是乔布斯的想法呢不一定但是他 will give you some inspiration from a completely different perspective from what you have now. This skill is the flower book before. This is the female frog skill. This skill has already been upgraded to a few famous people. Then you can go directly to install it. If you
don't know how to install these skills, you can ask your AI to help you install them. You just copy the GitHub warehouse address of this skill, and then go
install them. You just copy the GitHub warehouse address of this skill, and then go back to your AI, paste this address, and tell the AI to help me install this skill. That's it. Just tell him directly. You don't have to install it manually.
this skill. That's it. Just tell him directly. You don't have to install it manually.
OK, my second brain is basically completed like this. I've been using it for a while. The deepest thing I feel is that AI can help you think, but it
while. The deepest thing I feel is that AI can help you think, but it is essentially a brain storm plus the role of "pollution". If your project or you feel your life is stuck, it seems that there is no way to go.
In fact, it may only be that we are temporarily mesmerized. But AI can help you deal with it. After that, you will suddenly find that the way you can go is actually much more important than you imagine. But here is also a point that I must make clear. No matter how powerful AI is, it can only help you think. but it can't help you. In terms of AI, there are no problems
you think. but it can't help you. In terms of AI, there are no problems in this world. For example, business ideas are not difficult for it. It's not difficult to earn one million yuan, or to make an app. But if you sit in front of a computer today, you can let the most powerful model, the most powerful skill, and give you a hundred excellent business solutions. But only you can make these
solutions really work. Only you. So AI will never press the start button for you.
It will never send you the first video. It will never call you after three months of hesitation. It will never record and experience a change in your mood for you. This step will always need you to sell it yourself. So what I want
you. This step will always need you to sell it yourself. So what I want to tell you is that you don't treat AI as a smarter you. You should
treat it as a friend who thinks with you. Its role is not to think for you, but to let you see clearly what you really want. Because what kind of person do you want to be? What kind of life do you want to live? AI can't give you the answer to this question. Only you know. That's all
live? AI can't give you the answer to this question. Only you know. That's all
for today's video. I hope this video can help you understand how to build a second brain. It looks complicated, but once you open the computer and follow the steps,
second brain. It looks complicated, but once you open the computer and follow the steps, you will find that it is not that difficult. This video is indeed a bit more content, and it combines the content of many videos I have published before. If
you are interested, you can learn and understand it slowly. You can watch the videos I posted before. Because I am from a non-technical background, I came here step by step. I can, so you can. If you encounter any problems during the process of
step. I can, so you can. If you encounter any problems during the process of building, you are welcome to leave a message in my comment area. I will try my best to answer as much as I can. If I can't figure it out, you are welcome to discuss with friends from Donghang. If not, we can ask AI, right? AI will not replace our lives. AI will only make us live better. OK,
right? AI will not replace our lives. AI will only make us live better. OK,
I'm Matina, who uses big white words to show you how to understand AI. See
you next time. Bye bye.
