AI-First Second Brain Recording (Class #5)

In Case You Missed It

Yesterday, I shared my #1 AI tool that isn’t an AI model (Claude, ChatGPT).

That tool is Snipd, and I’m surprised by how few people have ever heard of it.

I use Snipd every single day for 1-2 hours to listen to YouTube videos, podcasts, and audiobooks. It stands out because of the four following categories of AI features:

• Press a button to easily create a “smart” clip with AI (automatically includes a title, summary, and transcript)

• Easily find, edit, review, or share clips (in the app or inside your favorite note app like Notion or Obsidian)

• Prioritize what to listen to with multiple queues (guest, podcast, custom)

• Get to the juicy parts fast (with transcript search, chat with AI, and automated chapters)

3. Learn how to upload YouTube videos to Snipd.

4. Join a live popup skills session on March 20 to learn how to use Snipd and other similar tools to accelerate your thought leadership.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming…

Class Overview

This class concludes the AI-First Thought Leader course, and it explores the question:

What happens when we combine the power of AI with our existing digital knowledge systems (second brains)?

Building an AI-first second brain isn't just about better organization of our knowledge—it's about creating dynamic, evolving systems that augment our thinking and unlock entirely new possibilities for creativity, insight, and productivity.

Whether you're already using tools like Notion, Obsidian, or other digital systems, this class will help you reimagine how AI can transform your knowledge work from passive collection to active collaboration with emerging intelligence.

During the class, we:

• Explored how AI transforms traditional second brains into adaptive systems
