CoursesBuild an AI Knowledge BaseAssignment
Assignment: Build Your Second Brain from Zero
Follow the hands-on walkthrough and run your minimal loop end to end.
Take home three things tonight: a self-growing knowledge base + the 7-prompt toolkit + your own "materials → ingest → reflow" workflow.
Task 1: Build Your Library (Required)
- Install WorkBuddy and Obsidian
- Use the first prompt to have AI build your library (fill in your own name, background, problem, expectations)
- Drop in 3 of your most-used materials, say "Digest"
- Use the query prompt to ask a question from your library — confirm AI pulls cards from your library (with sources)
Acceptance:
- raw/ has originals, wiki/ has cards, index.md is updated
- Query shows three confidence levels, each traceable to a source
- In Obsidian, open the same folder and click from index.md all the way back to the original
Task 2: Verify the Trace Chain in Obsidian (Optional)
- Open Obsidian, open your library folder
- Start from wiki/index.md, click a card link
- In the card, click the source summary link
- In the summary, click the original material link, back to raw/ original
- Screenshot this "index → card → source summary → original" four-stage trace chain
Task 3: Turn Your Library into a Skill (Challenge)
If you've already built an industry library (e.g., career library, sales script library, HR policy library), go further:
- Use the write prompt to have AI produce a short piece (report/article/outline) from your library
- Use the reflow prompt to write back reusable insights from this writing into the library
- Use the health check prompt to do a read-only health check — see what AI reports
Submission Requirements
- Upload screenshots of each task's output to the website.
- Pick your best piece: post it in the course group so everyone can appreciate your workflow.
