Pinned
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?

Hey Clief Notes crew — AI hackers, stack-builders, and workflow wizards!
If you’re deep in Level 3 “Building Your Stack” or just tired of wrestling with half-baked AI memory hacks, I’ve got something you’re going to love. **Meet OB1 — Open Brain** . It’s not another rabbit hole. It’s the infrastructure layer for your thinking: One database + one AI gateway + one chat channel — and any AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, whatever drops next month) plugs straight in. No middleware. No SaaS chains. No Zapier spaghetti. Why this matters right now (the pain we all feel) Right now “managed memories” are a vendor-lock-in trap: - Claude has its own memory. - ChatGPT has its own memory. - Cursor has its own. - Every new model that ships next quarter will have its own. Your life story, your household knowledge, your job-hunt pipeline, your taste preferences — they’re all trapped inside proprietary silos. Want to switch providers? Start from zero. Want to let two AIs talk about the same context? Build brittle integrations and pay for every hop. Want semantic recall across tools? Good luck.That’s not hacking — that’s renting brain space from landlords who can change the locks whenever they feel like it. OB1 flips the script You get one single source of truth: a Supabase Postgres table (thoughts) with built-in vector search. Every AI talks to the same persistent memory of you through an open Model Communication Protocol (MCP) gateway. - Capture thoughts via Slack/Discord/email → instantly embedded and indexed. - Any AI reads/writes with row-level security so your household data stays private. - No more copy-paste hell. No more “which model remembers what?” It’s literally the open brain layer that the big vendors refuse to give you — because once you own your memory, you own your stack. Built for us The repo is designed for exactly the kind of people in this skool: - 45-minute AI-assisted setup (Cursor or Claude Code can literally build it for you from the README). - Extensions folder with ready-to-extend modules (household KB, meal planner, CRM, job-hunt pipeline). - Primitives, schemas, recipes, and dashboards so you can fork, remix, and ship your own agent memory layers. - Full TypeScript + Python + Supabase stack — perfect for the “custom UIs + infrastructure” crowd.
