This Week at Breakfast Lab
Most founders are sitting on a goldmine of useful information: customer interviews, strategy notes, market research, sales conversations, and half-finished ideas. The problem is it’s scattered everywhere: folders, docs, inboxes, and people’s heads.
In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to turn your scattered documents into an AI-powered, interlinked knowledge base; something closer to a private Wikipedia for your company. Using tools like Claude Code or Codex alongside Obsidian, you’ll build an “AI librarian” that can read your materials, organize them into a wiki-style structure, and answer questions based on your own source documents.
We’ll walk through how to organize messy source materials into a practical, interlinked knowledge base, how to build a starter version live using your own documents, and how to ask better questions of your AI librarian so it becomes more useful over time. Attendees who come prepared should leave with a working starter knowledge base in hand.
Attendees should bring:
- A laptop
- 3–5 documents to use as source material (customer notes, strategy docs, research, SOPs, etc.)
- A paid ChatGPT or Claude subscription with Codex or Claude Code
- Obsidian (free for personal use — download at obsidian.md)
