okay this is an Obsidium Knowledge Graph automatically created by AI and the map is
not the only thing you get we also have a clear learning road map clearly explained section by
section with key Concepts and various articles and their reference links as well addition to
that you will also have an index page that for you to complete the notes of each key Concepts
for me personally I cannot think of any other ways simpler than this for you to learn a new
topic in this video let me show you the simple setups that could help you get the
similar learning road map within 10 minutes
Hi friends my name is Tony. I'm an a engineer and tech nerd enthusiastic in productivity hacks
I guess you may have seen prompt tricks and tips to ask GPT to teach you something
new but how about serious topic research searing and structured learning process with no applications like obsidian recently I found
that combining Google Gemini deep research and obsidian you can save loads of time to teach
yourself any topic today's sharing will include two major parts that can help you learn anything faster
topic research with Google Gemini building obsidian Knowledge Graph with AI in cursor
okay if you want to learn anything from scratch the first thing you will do is
research relevant learning materials from online then trying to piece together various fragmented
information to create your study guide this will take you days or even weeks of effort to research
but what if I'm telling you that this can be done in minutes with Google Deep Research
so what is deep research? Deep research is a function that supported in Google Gemini application
it is hidden below here okay let me explain in a slide so traditionally when we um search
uh anything online and search engine like Google will help us search relevant website or if you use
perplexity an AI search engine it will look for website and read relevant materials and picked up
for you but that is only the start so imagine um that you have a smart research assistant that they
do not only use Google or Perplexity to complete their research they also plan how to do the
job better so here comes the Deep research it is an AI agent in information searching so as a user
you will ask a question say what is artificial intelligence then Google Gemini will create a
plan first and you as the master will review the plan to see whether it is good for you or not
If you think the plan is good enough it will follow the research plan search online read the
materials and write a report for you to review so let me show you how to do it say I would like to
know everything about the Starship you can simply ask "I would like to know about Starship of spaceX..."
okay so currently the AI behind this is thinking of a research plan could help you
better so oh so we find information about the SpaceX Starship program including its goals and
current status so this is the first research Target then they will find articles and news
report on recent Starship development including test flights and upcoming Mission then finding
information of the technical specs of Starship the size the capability and find information
about potential applications as well and last but not the least the environmental impacts
the potential challenges and risks associated with Starship as well so the AI create a plan
for us if you don't like this plan you may be edit it as well
so I say I will like to edit the plan
about so I would like to know about the Elon Mask's Vision on Starship as well
all right so we have an updated the research plan so at the I think at the last re
at the last action point it added fin information about Elon Mask's vision on
Starship the uh the six task above is the same all right okay now we can click the
start so while the Google Gemini is doing deep research for us it will search online read all
the relevant articles and analyze the content then we'll get back to you a full report for
you to review so seeing it's researching for 49 pages okay 60 Pages or even more so if you
want to learn any area, any task, any topic you are interested in this is the perfect tool is that I
will let you know when the resch sear is finished you can leave this chart in the meantime so okay
so let's have a quick look at the example I will use later so if you want to create a learning map
from Google Deep Research this is the prompt I use if I want to learn what is large language
model and how can I use large language model be AI explication would you please create a learning
road map for me okay so under this prompt Gemini's task is not only create a research report but also
to write a learning road map for you based on the research result so at list a research plan
for me then write this learning road map. It is called The Learning road map from Basics to
building AI applications it was separate into sections introduction to large language model
there are key Concepts you should know and the articles that it found relevant and you
can definitely click the Articles including YouTube videos as well you see the videos
introduction to large language model Google cloud and YouTube let's click this see hello
and welcome to introduction to large language mod great all right so if you don't want to read
articles you can definitely check those videos later let's check whether our Starship report is
completed okay it's really close
great it has been completed okay let's check the report SpaceX Starship reaching
for the stars and Mars with Elon musk's Vision wow the title is attempting all right say Starship
development and test fly um I will leave uh the link to this article below and you can definitely
check this out so let's check how many sections it have Starship development and test flight
recent development uh flight 5 6 7 and upcoming missions as well so take an example um SpaceX are
outlined several key missions for Starship: Orbit Refueling Demonstration wow Uncruited Lunar Demo
wow W this is exciting too all right and you will have uh those specs of Starship and uh internal
designs structure features a lot lot of detailed information all of this information was actually
not make up from um Google's Gemini. it was from reliable sources you can take a quick look at this
they are Wikipedias they have informations from Starship official website they also use uh Reddit
as information Resource as well and of course we got YouTube videos and NASA report so I I
would say um if I when I was a student if I have a tool like this I would definitely have higher
marks of my assignment because this is amazing you have those multimedia resources from different
uh information source and combine together to create you this single report in just few minutes
additionally if you have Google uh drive you can open in uh docs and you can edit you can export
the report as well uh since obsidian use Markdown format we can you can choose download with
markdown okay it is downloaded let's open it and we have markdown file okay I have already import
the learning road map as a markdown file to the obsidian as you can see that we already
have a well researched learning road map but having a road map is only the beginning that's
why we need to use obsidian to help us to learn so the major reason why I love obsidian is that
you can write your note cards each time by focusing on one concept then you can easily
find and build connections between your new nodes and existing one with time you will have your own
personalized Knowledge Graph like this on any topic you are interested in this idea was made
Popular by book "How to Take Smart Notes": Learning by Writing there are loads of great videos on
YouTube right now talking about this so I will not explain that in details but focusing on one
paino SLOW yes it works but it will take you a lot of time to build it up and sometimes when you are
facing a sometimes when you are facing a strange topic or an area you will feel very uncomfortable
but you just don't know where to start the best way is to buying a textbook in our case what we
need to do is to extract those knowledge point from the learning road map and make each one
into note cards for us to write learning notes now this process can be fully automated by AI
okay now we use cursor to open up obsidian file folders Regarding why and how we use use cursor
to operate obsidian files you can refer to the link below you can see that this is the markdown
file from obsidian and uh for each section we will have an Index Note introduce the concept
and provide the links to the note card we need to fill but how can we create it automatically
this is the part we need to involve AI all right so the process is very simple it only involves
two steps the first step is to create index notes and the second step is to create a back
link from index noes to the road map what I will do here is that I will clean I will delete all the
files and remove those back links okay uh now now we only have one road map nodes um in my obsidian
folder let's use my prompt to try again this is a learning road map report I need you to do the
following step one based on the learning road map create a list of markdown files for each topic for
each topic file write an introduction and a list of knowledge Points each knowledge points title
should be written in double square bracket uh you can simply use cloud Sonet 3.5 then
submit okay now we have an AI is creating each note files for
you okay we have the ethical part the introduction part this is the file created by AI okay it has
been completed we already have those uh notes created with introduction and uh note card link
listed inside uh what you need to do is simply accept all right you already have those files
the next step is to add a back link on the road map file so we can use it conveniently this is
the prompt add your created file name list in road map file place them under each topic
related remember use double pret to quote the file name okay submit let's see how it
works okay it seems that it got run to create new file for me no worries let's update the
prompt all right let's submit again so in this case you will
click continue and revert so it will undo the previous task AI agent did and try
again all right it is working great it even add an emoji here related detail notes cool good job so what
you do accept it and everything is done so this can be down in couple of minutes let's track the
obsidian file see how it goes in obsidian this is the original node llm learning road map and
uh here's the link edit we can jump to the index note where uh it introduced the concept here and
have all those key concept knowledge for you to fulfill we can try our graph view as well so this
graph view only uses notes in my notes folder so what I do I will move those index notes into
notes see how it goes great we have our road map now if you want to learn any New Concept
about the large language model you could have a quick look around that if you have read something
about testing autom you could simply click it and write your learning notes Here step by step
with a clear road map you can learn anything faster okay this is today's sharing so we do
an AI deep research with Google Gemini then we use cursor AI to build obsidian Knowledge
