Claude Obsidian is Insane (FREE!) 🤯

Today, I'm going to show you a powerful system combining Obsidian and Claude and all of my AI agents together to make sure that your agents never forget anything ever again. So, for example, if I say what did I work on last week directly inside Claude, as you can see right here, it basically breaks down what we've worked on. Now, what's interesting here is if you look at the working directory and the memory inside Claude directly, it struggles to find that, right? It's not very good at remembering the details. It's not very good at understanding, okay, what was your broader activity outside of this conversation? However, what it can do with the system that we've set up, is that day by day it understands exactly what we've worked on, because we have a powerful system called Obsidian, and a memory galaxy that pulls this information in. This is all updated automatically with my AI agents. So if we have a look at this system here, every single one of the stars inside this memory galaxy is a new memory, and the stars that shine the brightest are the ones that have been updated the most recently. So if we click on any of these stars, we can pull up the memories and everything that we've done recently. We can see that we have all these different guides and useful notes here, and I didn't create any of them, right? Now, also the great thing about this is you can actually use a free system to do this, and I'll break down exactly how that works in a second. So if we have a look at the recap here, it breaks down day by day exactly what we worked on in a lot of detail, because it can easily pull in from the recent obsidian notes that we have with the vault and everything else. So it's really powerful for doing this, and it means that you can plug it into Claude, you could have it inside Hermes, you can get super personalized suggestions, and you never need to worry about retraining your agents on context again. So this is a powerful system that you can use to automate and build anything. And if you're wondering, okay, how does this work step by step? Well, this is what I call the Infinite Context Engine. And we have our memories that are plugged inside this galaxy here. We have our goals, our daily tasks, Omi, projects and areas. So let me talk you through this. And basically you have one memory every agent shares, your chats train your vault, your vault trains your agents, and it's a loop that gets smarter forever as a memory system. So for example, if we open up Obsidian over here, you can see this is our Obsidian memory. And every single one of these dots is just a markdown file that's linked together naturally, color coordinated, tagged properly as well. And then it's all based around me. So this system knows my goals, it knows my memories, it knows why I'm working on everything else. And that's the power of this. So how do we set this up step by step? Let me walk you through it.
So essentially here, and this is something I call the blank slate problem, is that imagine you hired an assistant and every morning they woke up and remembered nothing about you. You explain your whole life again, your name, your business, your goals, your clients, every single day. That's what using AI agents feels like without a good memory system. So your AI is a genius, but it's got amnesia and every chat you start is from zero. Now the Infinite Context Engine actually breaks that cycle for good. You might say as well, this sounds complicated and technical on this whole system here, but it's actually not. And I'll tell you why, because literally all this is, is a bunch of folders with different text files inside them. That's it. All Obsidian is, it's just markdown files connected together, organized properly, and everything is set up in a place where you have lists of notes together and they're organized properly.
So there's three free tools you can use with one shared brain. So most people think of these as like three separate apps. They're not, they're one memory pipeline. So number one, we've got Omi. Omi is a free app in the background. And what I've set this up to do is basically export and take notes on me daily. So we can export to Obsidian right here. But if we go back to our home, this basically takes notes on me day to day. So you can see here it's got memories, it understands exactly what I'm working on. It updates daily and it's basically a free app in the background that listens to my microphone, watches my screen and quietly writes down what I do, say and care about all day. And it holds about 3000 memories, as you can see inside this system here.
