I’m building a second brain from my own notes, words and decisions. The old notes page needs work, but I stop to ask what comes first: if an agent doesn’t know how I speak, how can it summarize a note in my language?

My notes, incoming signals and recap

I want an easy way to add a note. I also want to keep track of emails, messages and project information without being bothered by everything.

The recap matters because I have millions of ideas. When I return to a project, I want to know what I decided and why.

The voice library comes first

I ask Claude to build the base from my own messages. My interviews and videos give me more material to work from. The prompt keeps real examples, phrases and the way I like answers.

Shout out to Nicolas Cole and Greg Isenberg for the conversation that helped me think about it.

My typos are not my voice. Fix the mistakes and keep my words.
