Building an automated second brain to track everything with agents
dr_cintas · x · 2026-08-23
The author shares a workflow for an automated "second brain" that captures and manages notes, ideas, and open threads. The system involves: 1) dumping raw sources into a folder; 2) using sub-agents to build or update pages; 3) standardizing fields (source, last touched, open loops, next step); 4) an orchestrator providing daily updates. This ensures every thread is tracked without needing to memorize details.
