About this video:
If you've tried using AI as a personal assistant and felt like it just... doesn't work, you're not alone. The missing piece isn't better prompts or fancier tools. It's that your AI has no context to work with. Without a knowledge base connected, it's just a chatbot guessing in the dark.

In this video, I walk you through the minimum viable knowledge system your AI actually needs: five simple components that give it full operational context for your life and business. You'll see exactly how I have this set up in Tana, how to connect your existing tools (even if they're scattered across different apps), and three real workflows that become possible once everything is plugged in, including a morning brief that reads your calendar, tasks, emails, and meeting history, and a project kickoff workflow that pulls from transcripts, emails, and notes to build a full delivery plan.

Whether you use Tana, Notion, Obsidian, or a mix of tools, the principles are the same. Your AI is only as good as the knowledge base underneath it. This video shows you how to build one that actually works.
