I'll look this over. Would be interesting to develop this using my Obsidian notes and other sources rather than Notion.

As long you format your Obsidian notes in Markdown + extract the metadata in the same JSON format, you can hook any source you like

Good to know.

It can easily be adopted to any data source. The meat of the pipeline will remain the same.

Perhaps that's a future feature for the project?

I'm actually building similar tools for my Obsidian second brain right now but the key is if YOU own the data, you can do whatever you want with it. :)

100% Chris - if you are open, you can contribute with an article on how to adapt the course to Obsidian or other data sources

I'd love to :)

No promises as to how soon. But your work here is very interesting and I think we are both trying to solve the same problem.

I'm familiar with llama-index and just assumed any of those readers would be a good drop-in replacement.

Any Source -> Llama-index Document object -> rest of pipeline

I haven't looked at your code yet though, apologies if llama-index is already used or it's a much bigger lift to adapt to using this.

Wow awesome Paul. Definitely follow the series. One more question: can i change notion to apple note?

Thanks, man 🤟 You can, but you have to write a different data collection class (or just manually copy your notes into JSON files that follow the same structure)

This is great - thank you for taking the open-source route.

I'm building the Open Augmented Intelligence community and would love to talk to you more.

Check out my YouTube channel if you're interested - would be great to chat in real time :)

This is very interesting, and while I didn't get a lot of it, you may have unblocked my own LLM building journey by introducing Gradio, so thanks for that!

It is not a “brain”, but maybe pseudo-brain.

I think companies are not ready go implement system such as does. Centralized information is the key factor for business performance

As a zero tech, How do I build one. I have some many ideas, questions around the Idea of Second Brain / AI Me. Anyone interested Dm me for any thoughts!

Pretty cool and nerdy but beyond the amusement and masturbation of chunking machines together, what value do you genuinely find in this? I know "learning" and what not can be a common refrain, but that seems more like a cope than anything. Learning requires active engagement and changes to neurons, not chatting with a bot.
