Personal Brain X Company Brain: My First Steps

Sunday Update

Hey everyone, this is Allan. Today is Sunday, so I didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about this video. I was with my girlfriend, her family, and we went to mass. The important parts of the day are done, but I still need to record today’s video.

Personal Second Brain

I’m building a personal second brain using AI. I’ve mentioned it in a few previous videos, but I haven’t shown you how it works. Over the past two months I’ve been developing it, and it’s now functional.

Company Brain

Lately I’ve been watching people create second brains for their companies. That inspired me to start building a company brain, essentially a second brain for my business. I’ll refer to the two as “personal brain” and “company brain” to keep things clear.

AI Workflow

My current focus is on AI skills and workflows that help me create videos and turn them into other types of content. I’ve built a skill that helps me edit my videos, and another that transforms video transcriptions into Instagram posts. Last week I started creating Instagram reels with my company brain, keeping it separate from my personal brain.

Design Basics

I want to use AI for many tasks, but I’m careful not to delegate anything I can’t do myself. I need a basic understanding of a task before I hand it off to AI. For example, I’m not a designer, but I’m creating Instagram posts with AI, so I need to know enough design principles to avoid producing something that looks cheap or harms the perception of my personal brain.

Future Plans

Right now I’m using AI in my company brain to grow my audience and personal brand. In the coming weeks and months I plan to expand the brain to handle other tasks as well. That’s it for today.
