Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

โš ๏ธ HEADS UP: PHISHING ATTEMPTS IN THE COMMUNITY โš ๏ธ
We've noticed people sending out phishing links in DMs and comments. Quick PSA to keep everyone safe. ---- ๐Ÿ›‘ THE RULE If someone you don't recognize is sending you links, asking for money, asking for login info, or telling you to "claim a prize" outside of an official competition post, it's not us. Don't click. Don't reply. Just delete. ---- ๐Ÿ’ฐ HOW WE ACTUALLY HANDLE MONEY We will never send you money out of the blue. The only time you'll hear from us about money is if you've won a competition. When that happens, Sonija is the only person on our team who will reach out to collect your payment info to send your prize. If anyone else DMs you asking for payment details, banking info, or "verification" to release a prize, it's not us. Report it!! ---- ๐Ÿšจ IF YOU GET A SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE 1. Don't click any links 2. Don't reply 3. Screenshot it if you can 4. Send the screenshot to Jake, Matt, or a mod so we can deal with it We're going to keep this community a safe place to build and learn. Thanks for looking out for each other. ๐Ÿ™

Companies want to hire from Clief Notes. So we're building this.
Been sitting on this for a few weeks and figured it's time to show you. ๐Ÿ‘€ Over the last month, three companies have reached out asking the same thing. How do we hire people from Clief Notes. They've seen what folks here are building with ICM and they want that on their teams. Not LinkedIn AI experts. Not Coursera grads. People who can actually ship. So we're building it. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ talent.eduba.io Heads up, that's a demo. No real backend, no signups, no live data. Click around and you'll see what the full thing is going to be. A private platform where you list yourself with a real portfolio, companies browse, and they request an intro through us. We make the intro. You take it from there. Few things worth knowing. ๐Ÿ” Every profile gets reviewed by the Eduba team before it goes live. The quality bar is the whole point. ๐Ÿ”’ Companies don't see your last name, your employer, or your contact info until we make a formal intro. You can block your current employer too, plus five more companies if you want. Nobody you don't want seeing you sees you. You can list as actively looking, open to offers, or not looking. Passive welcome. Honestly most of the strongest people we've trained are employed and plan to stay that way until the right thing shows up. That's fine. Sit on the platform, see what comes through. ๐Ÿ’ฐ When a placement happens you get a $500 to $1,000 bonus after 90 days in the role. On top of whatever you negotiate. We pay you for staying. This is why the community matters. Companies aren't asking us for resumes. They're asking us for the people who already get it. ICM, agent architecture, knowing when not to use AI. That's not on a LinkedIn profile. Go click around. Tell me what's missing, what's confusing, what you want to see when the real thing ships. We're already building it. ๐Ÿš€
Memory management is the next frontier!
Most people are still treating LLMs like goldfish with infinite context windows. But the real power comes when you give your AI systems persistent, structured, and reliable memory. Iโ€™ve been diving deep into three distinct approaches: - Open Brain (OB1) โ€” the personal exocortex - Poor Manโ€™s Memory (PMM) โ€” the ultra-lightweight, git-native path @Millenial Cat - Cognee โ€” the structured graph + vector layer for serious agents Each represents a completely different philosophy for how we should capture, store, and retrieve context. Full breakdown dropping soon: architecture comparisons, strengths & tradeoffs, how they actually fit together in a real stack, and when Iโ€™d choose one over the others. If youโ€™re building any kind of long-term AI workflow, personal knowledge system, or agent setup โ€” this oneโ€™s for you.Whatโ€™s your current memory strategy? Drop it below
Memory management is the next frontier!
๐Ÿ“Š POLL ๐Ÿ“Š What is your software development experience level?
Iโ€™ve never touched a line of code before AI. Iโ€™ve said it many times to a lot of you. It feels in this community like sometimes that makes me an outlier. Iโ€™m curious how many others out there are in a similar boat to me and how many span the spectrum. Drop your vote below and leave a comment! โฌ‡๏ธ โฌ‡๏ธ โฌ‡๏ธ
