39sReveals a surprising integration that transforms AI from forgetful to personalized.
▶ Play Clip"Title overhypes as 'absolutely insane' but delivers a solid, useful integration concept with clear examples."
This video demonstrates a powerful integration between Google's Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) and Obsidian, creating a persistent memory system for AI agents. The system allows AI to remember past interactions, business context, and user preferences, eliminating the need to re-explain concepts. The presenter shows how this setup can multiply content creation, improve SEO, and save significant time.
The presenter shows a system connecting Gemini Notebook and Obsidian vault as memory, so agents remember business context and past work.
NotebookLM was renamed to Gemini Notebook on July 16th, same tool with new name.
Free tool that accepts websites, PDFs, YouTube videos, Google Docs, and converts them into 12 different content types: audio, video, slides, mind map, infographic, flashcards, etc.
Obsidian is a free notes app that saves plain text files. By connecting it as AI memory, agents gain persistent knowledge of goals, projects, and clients.
A customer interview dropped into Gemini Notebook was turned into a short audio show, video, slides, and infographic in a few clicks.
New information feeds into agent, which creates content that goes back into vault, making AI smarter each cycle. It never starts over.
Content multiplication (one recording = week of content), SEO via branded articles, lead magnets, sales summaries, course materials, and research synthesis (50 articles → one mind map).
Those with memory systems will pull ahead as their AI knows them better daily, while others keep starting from scratch.
By connecting Gemini Notebook with an Obsidian memory vault, users can create a self-improving AI system that multiplies content, saves time, and never forgets context. The key is to treat AI as a system, not a single tool.

What is Obsidian and how is it used in this system?
Obsidian is a free notes app that saves plain text files. It is used as a memory vault for AI agents, storing goals, projects, and notes that the AI can read and write to.
01:36
What is the 'loop' described in the video?
New information is fed into the agent, which creates content; that content feeds back into the vault, making the AI smarter each cycle. It never starts over.
03:24
Name three business benefits of this system.
Content multiplication (one recording yields a week of content), SEO articles that sound like the brand, and lead magnets from a single guide turned into multiple formats.
04:03
What is the presenter's prediction about AI users?
Those who set up a memory system will pull ahead, as their AI knows them better daily, while others keep starting from scratch, creating a widening gap.
06:01
Obsidian as Persistent Memory
Using a simple notes app as AI memory creates a permanent, ever-learning system that eliminates repetitive explanations.
01:36The Self-Improving Loop
This principle shows how feeding AI its own outputs creates a compounding improvement cycle, unlike isolated tool usage.
03:24Content Multiplication
One input generating multiple content types is a key insight for maximizing efficiency in content marketing.
04:03Future Gap Prediction
The prediction that memory systems will create a competitive advantage highlights the urgency of adopting such systems.
06:01[00:02] absolutely insane and I want to show you exactly what I've built with it. Here's the thing that shocked me. I run Gemini notebook inside my agent and my Obsidian vault is wired into that same agent as its memory. So now every single agent I
[00:14] goals, it knows my business, it knows what I worked on yesterday. Nothing starts from zero anymore. Let me back up one second because Google just changed the name on this. You might know this tool as notebook LM. On July 16th,
[00:28] Google renamed it. It's now called Gemini notebook. Same tool, new name. it and most of them are using it completely wrong. So what is Gemini notebook in plain words? It's a free tool from Google. You make a
[00:41] notebook. A notebook is just a box that holds information. You drop stuff into it. A website, a PDF, a YouTube video, a Google Doc. Then the tool reads all of it, understands it and turns it into 12 different things for you. Audio, video,
[00:55] slides, a mind map, an infographic, flashcards, all free. 12 pieces of content from one file for free. Hey, if we haven't met already, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of SEO agency Goldie Agency. Whilst he's
[01:09] customers, I'm here to help you get the latest AI updates. Julian Goldie reads below. Now here's where most people mess up. They open it, type one thing and close the tab. That's it. They're using maybe 10% of what it can do. Why?
[01:24] forgets you. Every time you open it, business, it doesn't know your last chat. You have to explain yourself over and over. That's the wall everyone hits in the first week, so I fixed it. And
[01:36] this is the part that's actually insane. I connected Obsidian as the memory. Let it sounds fancy, but it's simple. Obsidian is a free notes app. It saves your notes as plain files on your own computer. Just simple text files. That's
[01:52] it. But because they're simple text files, an AI agent can read them and write to them and search them. So, I made a vault. A vault is just a folder of notes. Inside it, I keep my goals, my projects, my client notes, my ideas, my
[02:05] journal, my whole world in one place. Then, I plug that vault into my agent as its memory. And here's the magic. Now, Gemini notebook knows me. My agent knows me. Every agent in my setup knows me. They all read from the same folder. So,
[02:18] They share one brain. Think about what down in the morning. I don't re-explain working on. It already knows my last decision. It already knows my customers.
[02:31] It just picks up where I left off. That's the difference between a tool and a system. Let me give you one real example of how I use this. I dropped a long customer interview into Gemini notebook. In a few clicks, it made me a
[02:43] short audio show, a video, a set of slides, and an infographic. All from Now, imagine that plugged into your memory vault, so the AI already knows your brand voice before it even starts. It gets it right the first time. Quick
[02:57] this and thinking, "This sounds complicated. I could never set this up." I hear you. And that's exactly why I built the whole thing as a ready-to-go Inside the AI Profit Boardroom, you can get my full Agent OS as a zip file. You
[03:11] just install it. Gemini notebook, your Obsidian memory, and your agents all wired together, ready to go. 30 minutes instead of 30 hours. We do coaching calls every week where I set it up live with you and answer your questions. And
[03:24] business owners in there running this exact setup right now. So, if you get stuck, someone's online to help. The link is in the description. Okay, let me we've got Gemini notebook holding your information. We've got Obsidian holding
[03:38] your memory. Now, watch how they work together in a loop. You feed in new information. Your agent reads it. It makes content. That content feeds back into your vault. And now your AI is a little bit smarter. Then, you do it
[03:50] again and again. The system gets better every single day because you keep feeding it. It never forgets. It never starts over. Here's a way to picture it. Most people using AI are still workers. They type, they wait, they copy, they
[04:03] paste, they switch tabs over and over. This makes you the owner of the factory the content comes out. You just keep it fed. Now, let me show you the ways this actually helps a real business because this is where it clicks. First one,
[04:16] content multiplication. One podcast becomes an audio clip, a video, a slide deck, and a stack of social posts. One recording, a week of content. Second, a content engine for getting found online. You feed it your case studies, it writes
[04:31] articles. Those articles help people find you on Google and on AI search. And because your vault knows your brand, they actually sound like you. Third, lead magnets. You take one guide and turn it into a video, an audio show, and
[04:44] an infographic. Now, you've got a free thing people want everywhere at once. Fourth, sales help. You drop in a customer call recording, it turns into a clean one-page summary your team can actually use. New team members get up to
[04:57] speed fast. Fifth, courses. You upload what you know, it builds slides and flashcards for every lesson. You're building a course while you sleep. And here's the one that saves the most time. Research. You feed it 50 articles, it
[05:10] gives you one mind map showing how everything connects. That's 40 hours of reading gone. Now, let me handle the thing that's probably in your head right now. Maybe you're thinking, "I've tried AI tools before and they didn't really
[05:22] save me time." I get it. A lot of people feel that. Here's the truth. One tool by itself doesn't save time. A system does. A hammer alone doesn't build a house, but a hammer plus nails plus wood plus a plan, that builds something. Gemini
[05:36] notebook plus your memory vault plus your agents is the plan and the materials in one place. That's why it works when a single tool didn't. And maybe you're thinking, "This is for coders. I'm not technical." You don't
[05:48] need to code. If you can open a browser and type into a box, you can run this. Gemini notebook lives in your browser. The dashboard has buttons you click. file, you just install it and go. Let me tell you what I really believe about all
[06:01] memory system this year are going to pull way ahead. Their AI will know them better every single day. Their content will get better every single week. typing into a fresh chat that forgets them every time.
[06:14] That gap is going to get huge, and it's going to get huge fast. A year from now, your AI could know your business better than a new hire, but only if you start little time. Day 30, you save whole days. A year in, it knows your cold. So,
[06:29] here's what I do if I were you. Go make one Gemini notebook today, just one. watch it turn them into a video and an audio show just to see it work with your own eyes. That's your first step. And when you're ready to plug it into your
[06:42] memory and make every agent know you, that's the whole system. If you want that system without building it from scratch, come join us in the AI Profit Boardroom. You get my full Agent OS as a zip file ready to install, Gemini

[07:34] more thing I've noticed since running this setup. The best part isn't the 12 pieces of content, it's the the Every note I save, every call I drop in, every idea I capture, it all stacks up in that one vault. And my agents read
[07:48] ago is still helping me today. Nothing gets lost. Nothing gets forgotten. Most people throw away their best thinking the second they close a tab. With this, your best thinking stays. It builds. And 6 months in, your AI is working from a
[08:03] remember you gave it. And here's what that means for you, really. You stop being the person who explains everything twice. You stop copying and pasting the same background into every chat. You stop starting over. Your AI just knows.
[08:17] customers, your last decision. So, you get to spend your time on the actual work, the thinking, the building, the growing, instead of baby-sitting a tool that forgets you every morning. That's the shift. That's what a memory system
[08:30] really gives you. Not just faster content, your time back. Start using your AI like a system, not a search box. I'll see you in the next one.
