Turn 10,994 Notes Into Memory - Paul Iusztin, Decoding AI & Louis-François Bouchard, Towards AI

AI Engineer · Jun 26, 2026 · Engineering Insights

Two AI educators built an 'AI research OS' to turn 10,000+ scattered notes into a queryable personal research memory.

“I spent 18 months turning my second brain into my living research memory.”

Paul Iusztin and Louis-François Bouchard demonstrate building a personal 'AI research OS' that sits between AI harnesses (like Codex Cloud or NotebookLM) and a 10,000+ note second brain across Obsidian, Readwise, Notion, and Drive to surface high-signal notes for active work. It's a practical, code-included tutorial on personal knowledge retrieval, but it's a how-to demo rather than a major industry announcement.
