I run a real business out of a markdown AI OS. Three lessons after months of living in it.
Most AI OS builds I see start with automations. Mine started with a knowledge base, and that order turned out to be the whole game. What I actually run: a plain markdown vault, no database, connected by links, with a team of named specialist agents. An orchestrator that routes, a researcher, a journal writer, a data analyst, and a few more. I drive it from Claude Code, Codex and Telegram, and it holds the real context for operations at my company. Three things I would tell anyone building one: 1. Build the brain before the hands. A capture habit that turns every input into linked notes beats a pile of clever automations that have no context to act on. 2. One fact, one file. The day the same fact lives in three places, your agent gives you three different answers. Link, do not copy. 3. Stay host-portable. I can open the same vault in Claude Code, Codex or a chat-only LLM. No lock-in means no single tool can ever strand my system. The trap I see most: handing agents real keys before the context is good enough to trust them. Build the knowledge first, hand over autonomy slowly. Curious what everyone else runs. What is the one piece of your AI OS you would not give up?

Both, but the trick is neither goes straight into the vault. Everything lands in one inbox folder first: voice memo, screenshot, or a few typed lines. An agent classifies it and files it into the right note with the links. Voice when I am walking, typing at the desk. The capture method matters less than having one dumb inbox and letting the agent do the sorting. Otherwise you are back to deciding where everything goes, which is the friction that kills the habit.

Hi all, Andre here from Berlin, Germany. I work at Ventura Travel, a specialized travel company, and over the last months I built my own AI OS: a plain markdown knowledge base with a team of named specialist agents (orchestrator, researcher, journal writer, data analyst and more) that I drive from Claude Code, Codex and Telegram. Career goal: run as much of the business through it as I safely can, and keep the whole thing host-portable so it is not locked to one tool. For fun: travel, and breaking my own automations to see what actually survives. Glad to be here.
10x in productivity
Here’s a small insight from my side. I noticed that I was still doing a lot of my work in separate projects, loose chats and separate documents. For example, for one new project I had already created quite a lot of documentation. Until now, I would usually work on that in ChatGPT Canvas, then move parts into Google Drive, update separate docs manually and keep switching between different places to keep everything aligned. But I’ve now started moving completely into VS Code and building a simple AIOS there. Even without going through Nate’s lessons yet, this already feels like a massive productivity shift. The biggest difference is that everything lives in one place. When something changes, I can update one part of the system and then let AI help me apply that change across all the relevant documentation, prompts, workflows and files. That sounds small, but in practice it removes so much friction. Less switching, less copying things around, less “where did I put that again?", less rewriting the same context over and over. It feels much closer to actually building a working system instead of managing a collection of loose documents and projects. Can;t wait to have the full AIOS setup with a personal wiki of all my knowledge from the past 14 years of creating courses, masterclasses, seminars, etc. Curious to hear from people who are already further with this: What is one skill, workflow or habit that has made the biggest difference for you when working this way, and that you would recommend building as early as possible?🔥

The habit that made the biggest difference for me: one fact lives in exactly one file, and everything else links to it. No copy-paste, no duplicated notes. The day you have the same fact in three places, your agent starts giving you three different answers. Second one: a session log. At the end of a work session the agent writes down what we decided and why. That is what stops you re-litigating the same decision next week. Build both early. They cost nothing to start and get more valuable the bigger your system grows.
AI-OS
Hey everyone! So I am almost done with the video tutorial for the AI OS and ngl it answered so many questions in my head! I have already onboarded so from now on I am gonna be focusing on improving it's capabilities. As I am not a business owner (yet!) I have almost zero context, no clients, no SOPs, absolutely nothing but I decided to set it up anyway and use it like my right hand for building future business operations. I know where I need to start - automate my content creation to start filling up my socials for the future client outreach, but I was curious what's next? I'd be happy to hear about skills or workflows you guys did inside your own AI-OS! Gotta get some inspiration here! Thanks!

Since you have no clients yet, your real asset right now is the knowledge base, not the automations. Build for that. The two skills I would build first: a capture skill that files everything you learn into the vault as linked notes, and a summarize skill that turns videos, PDFs and calls into those notes automatically. Point both at your own learning for now. In a few weeks you have a searchable second brain and the start of real SOPs, which is exactly the context your future clients will need. Content automation is fine, but it spends context you have not built yet. Fill the brain first.

The one I use every day: a capture pipeline. I drop a phone screenshot, a voice memo or a braindump into one inbox folder, and an agent classifies it, files it into the right place in my knowledge base, and links it to the people, projects or topics it touches. No manual sorting. The workflow I cannot live without is the one behind it: every note is plain markdown linked to other notes, so the agent always has context to act on. Capture without that structure is just a messier pile. Build the filing brain first, then the capture is the easy part.
