Building a Second Brain with AI
How I automated my knowledge management system using Claude, Notion, and a lot of scripting.
## The Problem
I consume a lot of information. LinkedIn posts, Twitter threads, blog articles, YouTube videos, podcasts. The problem? Most of it disappears into the void. I save things with the best intentions, but they just pile up in bookmarks folders, never to be seen again.
## The Solution
I built an AI-powered second brain. Its not just a fancy note-taking app - its an external mind that maintains connections across all my information and surfaces relevant context when I need it.
```javascript
// Example: Auto-tagging with AI
const tags = await claude.analyze(content);
await notion.addTags(pageId, tags);
```
