The AI Side Hustle Nobody's Doing (AI Second Brains)

So today we're going to be walking through your AI second brain setup, right? Second brain's kind of that trendy term we see everywhere now.

But Adam, it's been a little bit since our first conversation.

I first want to know kind of what's changed and what you're building with AI since we last talked.

Yeah, it's a great question.

And, you know, the second brain slash knowledge base has sort of like permeated a lot of my world because in the client engagements that I've been working on over time, and I'm sure you've seen this and a lot of people viewing this have encountered this where you're working with a client and you want to build a workflow or there's some kind of project, but frequently I would run into an issue where the information that was needed to power this workflow or whatever it was, was not easily accessible, right? And so there's always this bottleneck that I would encounter and You know, eventually it occurred to me that this should just be the first step, right, as part of an offering.

And what that first step ends up being, if you want to do it correctly, is to develop a knowledge base or a second brain.

Right.

I think these terms are somewhat interchangeable.

And there's so many benefits to doing this, both as a practitioner and from a client standpoint, there's a ton of value in it.

And essentially what this is, is just collecting and aggregating and structuring relevant information that is durable and then can be scaled in certain ways.

I'm pretty sure you hear stuff like this all the time, right? When you talk to a prospect or someone and they're like, well, I just want an AI agent or I want this entire system to do everything for me, like a fractional CMO and dah, dah, dah.

But it's like that is completely useless without some sort of second brain or context like you're describing behind the scenes.

So this needs to be step one A or step one B before we even move into any of this actual workflow building stuff.

And people need to understand this.

Yeah, that's correct.

And there's a lot of intrinsic benefits that I think clients especially are not necessarily thinking about.

And one of the biggest in my mind is that if you hit your wagon to a knowledge base and not to Anthropix ecosystem or OpenAI's ecosystem, you're not stuck there

if

suddenly that service becomes, for one reason or another, untenable for your business.

Right.

So at the very least, it sort of unshackles you from one provider's ecosystem and allows you to travel to different ecosystems.

It makes you portable to a degree.

Right.

So I think there's a degree of security there, longevity and a way to.

just shore up your future when it comes to working with AI.
