I gave my AI second brain a voice. Now it works like Jarvis. Andrej Karpathy showed everyone how to build a second brain. I wrote the viral guide on it. Then AssemblyAI dropped the most accurate voice agent API out there, so I gave mine a voice. 1-second response times, 4x cheaper than OpenAI's realtime API, and it actually hears what you say. 3 steps to set it up: 1. download Obsidian, create a vault (just a folder on your computer where everything lives) 2. point Claude Code at the vault, drop in the prompt, and it builds the whole system for you. folders, rules, templates, all of it 3. connect it to AssemblyAI's voice agent API with the second prompt Here's the part most people miss: it doesn't just answer questions. It thinks ahead and offers to help before you ask. The more you feed it, the smarter it gets. #claude #assemblyai #claudecode #ai

Transcript

I gave my AI second brain a voice, and now I can talk to it like Jarvis. Andrej Karpathy showed us how to build the second brain. I wrote the viral guide on it, and AssemblyAI just released the most accurate voice agent API on the market to give it a voice. Here's exactly how to set it up in three simple steps. You're gonna want to save this. Step one, download Obsidian and create a vault. This is just a folder on your computer where everything lives. Step two, give Claude Code the Karpathy Gist. Open Claude Code, point it at your Obsidian vaults. Then paste Karpathy's gist and tell Claude Code to implement it. Here in Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern, please implement this as any personal knowledge base in the Obsidian vaults. Create the folder structure, the CLUDE and schema files with all the rules, page types, and worksheets. Write the complete CLUDE schema file with all the rules, page types, and worksheets. Create the index and activity log. Ingest the gist itself in the first source. Build out entity and concept pages from the gist concepts. And Claude will build the entire system for you, the folder structure, the rules, the templates, everything. And step three, connect AssemblyAI's voice agent API. Connect the Karpathy gist to AssemblyAI's voice agent API, so I can talk to it just like, like Jarvis. It's in the guide as well. And AssemblyAI is the most accurate voice agent on the market. It has one-second response times and it's four times cheaper than OpenAI's real-time API. And it actually correctly hears what you say. But here's the part most people miss. Watch this... It doesn't just answer your questions, it thinks ahead and offers to help you like Jarvis. Jarvis, what do we have on the docket today? Strategy call with Sarah at 10:00. Launch plan sitting in Docs since Tuesday, and two follow-ups still open from last week's planning call. Want me to finish the launch plan before your call with Sarah? Yes, please. On it. I'll pull from your prep notes and the meeting transcript. Draft will be in your inbox in five. And the more you feed your second brain, the smarter it gets. Give me your follow and comment agent for the full guide.
