It's one hour free course on Obsidian. I'm going to show you exactly how to give your AI agents a second brain and how to really take advantage of Obsidian to make it the most powerful context engine you've ever created. And this is a really powerful system, whether you're using AI or not, because you basically have a whole database of everything in your life to get AI agents for you. And it's very, very powerful. It's literally changed everything since I've set up. So in this one hour free course, I'm going to show you how to use Obsidian, how to get the most out of it, and how to build and automate anything with your AI agents, plus how to get your agents to actually automate and set this up for you so that you don't need to do any of this yourself. Now, if you're wondering what is Obsidian, Obsidian is simply a note taking app. So you basically have a way of storing all of your notes in one place so that you can come back to it whenever you want. So let's have a look here, for example, if we go over to our notes and we're checking out everything we've created over here, you can see that we have the files for everything inside our database. And so what this means essentially is that we can easily have a full system of context and we have like an organized system where everything in our life is just detailed into neat and tidy documents that all get together inside our knowledge.
Now, what is the benefit to SIPHEDEA Obsidian? Is that if you're switching between AI agents, so if you've got CORD, you've got Hermes, you've got Antigravity, you've got Codex, you've got GNU 5.2, etc. Well, how do they communicate with each other? There's really only one way to get them to communicate with each other properly, and that is weave the Obsidian database up. There are other things you can use that are a competitor to something like Obsidian. So for example, you have something like Graphify, but Graphify is just for one single code base. A lot of people ask me, why don't you set up, for example, Graphify instead of Obsidian for something like this. But Graphify really is just for looking at one single code base. Like for example, visualizing one GitHub. This whole system right here is really for creating a finite array, a finite array for the AI agents. That's literally how to get access to it. You can go over to Obsidian.md. Obsidian.md. And Obsidian.md is a free app that helps you download Obsidian. So you can just click on Get Obsidian for macOS.
And once you've done that, you can set this bad boy up. And so, it's just a really good way to have really good data. The other thing we're going to see is there's nothing really that special about Obsidian itself. Like, we're not reinventing the wheel here. This is literally just markdown files and folders. It's a full wiki of everything inside our database. So, what this means, for example, is like, you're either looking at this, Obsidian sounds fancy, it looks amazing, but for example, a memory galaxy, which we're looking at right here, it looks amazing when you go inside the knowledge graph as well.
But don't let that fool you. These are just files. It's a very boring system. It's basically folders and files stored as something called markdown files. Anyway, markdown just is the actual content itself. It's written in the markdown. So let's see how this, for example, a hashtag next to Notebooklem, that means that it's a heading. So one hashtag equals a heading, two hashtags equals a subheading. And then you can see you can format it with bullet points left and else.
And so what you'll see inside our system is that we have, for example, a note on the note the graph here, we have the properties in it, so tags. It's all in here together. And I'll show you some interesting things you can organize later. The maker, so this is specific to our database. Basically, we've created a section here where it details any tools that we use, and then the maker is, what category that falls into, what status that comes into as well. And then when we actually look at this one single mug down file, inside our whole database, it's easier. So it's just a little bit easier, but it's Wikipedia for your brain, for your memory and everything else. And you can see where it connects to. So for example, Google, Gemini Antigravity, Julian Goldie SEO, etc. So you can see, for example, we can click on this and it will take us to our title formula. This is a title that we'll typically use for our content that works really well, based on what's worked in the past, and paid by loads right here. Now, you know what you think of it, Julian? This is good, but this must take a long time to set up, to write out, to organize, to think about. The beautiful thing about this is, that actually, when you're doing this whole system, you can get your AI agents to update it for you, and they can basically look at what you're doing day to day, and then from there, they can actually create the whole process, and that's how we've done this. So if you look at this notes on the left-hand side, I'll fill you a key page up here.
