Confession: I used to start every single AI chat the exact same way. By re-introducing myself. 😅

My business. My offers. My rules. What I'm working on right now. All over again, like the last 50 conversations never happened.

Then I kept hearing people rave about building a "second brain" in Obsidian. A folder of notes their AI reads so it always has context. I wanted it immediately.

Except Obsidian lives on a local device, and I bounce between my phone, my desktop, and my laptop all day long.

And everything I run is cloud-based. My automations on my desktop can't reach a folder sitting on my laptop.

So I built mine in Google Drive instead.

Losing context between AI chats was never a memory problem. It's an ownership problem.

Context you can't read, edit, or move was never really yours. Files you own? Any AI can read those, today's or next year's.

💡 So this week's shortcut is the exact one I built to fix it: my AI Vault, a second brain in Google Drive that every AI chat reads at the start and updates when it's done.

Every real work chat opens by reading who I am, my rules, and what's currently in motion, then closes by writing a quick recap back: decisions, outputs, open loops. So every conversation inherits the last one. And it's not replacing my Skills, it's the context layer underneath them, plus a backup home so they're portable too.

If a better AI shows up next year, my whole history comes with me. 😉

Before ❌ Every chat starts cold, re-explaining your business again ❌ Context trapped in one tool, switch and lose everything ❌ Decisions scattered across old chats you'll never find

After ✅ One vault every chat reads first, always current ✅ Works in any AI tool because the files are yours ✅ Every session automatically updates the next one

Your Shortcut 👇 Open a blank doc and write three things: who you are, how you want AI to work with you, and what's active in your business right now. If you can't fill in that third one from memory, that's exactly why you need this. Paste that doc at the start of your next AI chat and watch how different the first answer is. No connectors, no setup, just a file. Ten minutes of writing, and every chat you have from now on starts warm instead of cold.

You've already been inside The Shortcut so you know how it works 😉

This is just the shortcut that dropped this week so if you're ready to stop re-explaining your business to AI in every new chat and have your context follow you everywhere, I'd love to have you come back.

Happy automating,
