Simplifying AI for my non-techy friends.
Showing 3 guides
Everyone is showing off how many AI agents they've built and which tools they use. I've been saying all year that none of that matters without the foundation underneath, and Anthropic's own guidance points the same way. Here's the foundation my AI employees run on - the AI brain with its memory and emotional intelligence, the workflow manager and the connectors - and how to set up yours.
So you've decided to jump into Claude Code, you've opened it, and now you're looking at an empty box. This is exactly what I'd do in your first hour: build your AI brain in Obsidian, fill it with your business, map your organisation and install your AI COO, with a free kit for each step. Then the AI employees I'd install next.
Once you know which AI employees you need, they need somewhere to read your business from. I keep mine in Obsidian, and every AI I use reads from the same folder. Here's why I chose it over Notion, Google Drive and plain files, how to set it up, and the folder structure I use.
