Before a meeting
“Catch me up on James. What's the latest, what's pending, what should I know?”
Pulls last 90 days of conversations, recent decisions, open commitments, anything relevant. Saves me 15 minutes of scrolling.
The story
I didn't set out to build a product.
Six months ago, I started losing track of things. Not big things. Little ones. The detail a client mentioned three weeks ago. The decision I made on a Friday afternoon I couldn't remember on Monday. The voice message I listened to once and never found again.
I tried every tool. Notion, Obsidian, Mem, Rewind, half a dozen others. They all asked me to do something: write a note, tag a thing, organize a folder. I didn't have the energy. None of them survived past two weeks.
So I built my own. A second brain that absorbs everything, on its own. Pulls from WhatsApp, Gmail, my meeting notes from Granola, my work conversations in Teams, articles I save, files in Notion. Organizes itself overnight while I sleep. I can ask it anything from Claude or ChatGPT. It already knows.
It runs on my Mac mini in Florida. Captures my life across two countries, dozens of clients, hundreds of conversations. 3,800+ structured pages of memory. Honestly? It works better than I expected.
Friends started asking if they could use it. That's where I am now, wondering if this should be a product or stay my private tool. I don't know yet.I'm using this page as a signal: if enough people tell me they want this, I'll commit to launching it properly. If not, it stays mine. Either way, you'll know what I decide.
How I use it today
Not theoretical. These are my real queries.
I ask my brain these questions multiple times a week. Most from Claude on my phone, some from ChatGPT, sometimes from my own dashboard. The same brain answers all of them.
Friday afternoon
“What did I commit to this week?”
Cross-references decisions, promises in messages, action items from meetings. Shows me what I said yes to, and what I haven't delivered yet.
Mid-conversation
“What do I know about this person?”
Quick profile: how we met, what they care about, family details, recent topics. Helps me show up as someone who actually remembers.
Sunday night planning
“What's pending across all my projects?”
Pulls from work threads, side projects, personal commitments. Cleans up what's ambiguous before Monday.
In the middle of writing
“Where did I save that article about agentic AI?”
Finds it across saved links, conversations where I shared it, my notes. No more "I know I read this somewhere."
After a trip
“Summarize everything I committed to during this trip to Brazil.”
Filters by date range, location context, people I met with. Generates a follow-up list automatically.
Thinking about patterns
“Which relationships am I neglecting?”
Looks at last-contacted dates across important people. Flags the ones drifting. Brutal but useful.
In a 1-on-1 review
“What did we decide in our last conversation?”
Pulls the specific decisions from the last meeting + any messages since. No more "wait, what did we agree on?"
Under the hood
The brain organizes itself into eight folders.
Everything that gets captured flows into a structured memory. Each note has a compiled truth (always up to date) and a timeline (append-only history with sources). Nothing is ever lost. The brain re-organizes itself overnight while you sleep.
People/
Who you know. What you know about each one.
Meetings/
Every conversation captured, transcribed, summarized.
Decisions/
Discrete decisions with date, context, who's involved.
Projects/
Active initiatives with goals, status, milestones.
Areas/
Ongoing life domains. Things you tend continuously.
Resources/
Reference material, articles, knowledge worth keeping.
Conversations/
Raw chat history. Searchable, transcribed, contextual.
Originals/
PDFs, audio files, exports, source of truth when needed.
The honest part
I don't know if I'll launch this yet.
That depends on you.
If enough people tell me they want this, I'll commit to making it a real product. Properly built for others, not just for me. If only a handful sign up, it stays my private tool. Either way, you'll know what I decide.
If I launch, the people who showed up early get founder access: direct line to me, locked-in pricing, voice in what we build next.

Honest answers
The things people actually ask me.
Will this actually launch?
Honestly? I don't know yet.I'm using this page as a signal. If enough people tell me they want this (and the right kind of people), I'll commit to launching it properly. If not, it stays my personal tool. I'd rather be honest than promise something I can't guarantee.
What does "second brain" mean here, exactly?
A structured memory that captures everything you say, write, decide, or receive across the tools you already use, and lets you query it in plain English from any AI. Not a note-taking app. Not a CRM. Closer to an external memory layer for your professional life. You don't write into it. It builds itself from what you're already doing.
Which tools does it actually connect to right now?
WhatsApp, Granola (meeting notes), Gmail, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Obsidian, manual capture via Claude/ChatGPT, and anything else that exposes an MCP server. On the output side, you can query it from Claude Desktop, ChatGPT (Developer Mode), Perplexity, the dashboard I built, or any AI client that speaks MCP.
Is my data safe?
Right now it runs on my own Mac mini, just for me. If I launch, I'll be paranoid about this: encryption at rest, isolated infrastructure per user, your data leaves with you whenever you want. I'm building something my own clients would trust. That's the bar.
What will it cost if you launch?
I'm thinking somewhere between $39 and $99/month for the kind of person who actually uses it. Early signers get locked-in pricing forever. But this is genuinely TBD until I see who shows up and what they need.
When would it launch?
No timeline yet. I'm not rushing. If I decide to launch, I'd rather take 6-12 months getting it right than ship something half-baked. The waitlist is in chronological order. The first 100 who signed up get first access whenever it happens.
Why are you doing this in public?
Two reasons. First, I learn by writing about what I build. Every article, every conversation sharpens my thinking. Second, the best product decisions come from people who actually want the thing. If you tell me what you need, I'll build that. If no one tells me, I'll build for myself.
Who is this for?
Anyone whose work depends on remembering things across people, projects, and time, and who's tired of every tool requiring manual input. Especially: founders, consultants, executives, doctors, lawyers, advisors, anyone whose business is built on relationships and depth.
