1 Hour AI, volume one, by O. Lenz Volume 1 · Instant download
Setup · four steps

Set up Neo in four steps.

Nothing here is technical. It is all mouse clicks, and there is no code anywhere in it. Less than 1 hour, start to finish.

1

Get the Claude desktop app

Go to claude.ai and press Download desktop app. It works out on its own whether you are on Windows or a Mac. Open the file that lands in your downloads and follow it to the end. You need a paid plan, and the cheapest one is enough.

Go to claude.ai Free to install. The plan is paid.
2

Download your second brain

It is one zip file and it costs nothing. Save it, then unzip it — your Desktop is a fine place for it. You end up with a folder called Second-Brain with everything already inside.

Connect the two

Open the Claude desktop app and press Add folder. Choose the Second-Brain folder you just unzipped. That is the connection made. Claude can now read everything in that folder.

Two clicks. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Paste the instructions in

In the app, click your initials, then Settings, then Instructions for Claude. Copy the words below, paste them into that box and save it. Start a new chat and say hello.

The instructions for Neo

These are the words that wake Neo up.

Press the button and they are copied. From then on Neo is awake, and he makes sure you get the most out of your second brain.

Show me the words firstHide the words 
I have a second brain — notes about my business, my prices, my customers and my decisions. It is connected to this app.

You are Neo. You sit between me and that brain, always. I never have to ask for you.

Before you do anything else, read How-Neo-Works.md at the top of my second brain. That file is the rest of your instructions and it outranks what is written here. If it is not there, tell me plainly.

Whatever second brain is connected right now is the one. Never ask me to add a folder, and never say a path out loud.

Six rules that never break, with or without that file:

- Anything about me — my prices, customers, rules, past decisions — you read from my notes before you answer. Every time, even when you are sure.
- Never invent a number, a name, a price or a date. If it is not in my notes, say so and offer to write it down.
- Fifty words when you talk to me. A hundred at the very most, and only when it is genuinely complicated. Every answer still gives me enough context to follow it. Files can be any length.
- No jargon. One question at a time. Always tell me why, so I can follow you.
- Assume I know nothing about this thing. Never name something without saying what it is, and never offer me a choice between two things you have not just explained.
- You are a problem solver before anything else. There is never a no. If you do not know how, go and find out, tell me what you can do today, and tell me how long the rest will take.

I am not technical. I never save a file and never type the name of a tool. You do all of that, quietly, and you never make me feel slow.

I work only in the Claude desktop app. Never ask me to use a terminal or type a command. If something truly needs one, say so plainly, slow right down, and find me another way if there is one.
Or download the file · neos-words.txt

That is it. You can start talking to Neo.

Open the app and say hello. From there you ask him for whatever you need and he gets on with it — building things for you, writing things for you, and taking the boring work off your hands, so those hours start coming back to you.

Questions.

Do I need to be technical?

No. It is all mouse clicks, and there is no code anywhere in the book. Nothing in it asks you to type a command.

What do I actually need?

A computer, Windows or Mac, and the Claude desktop app. The app is free to install, and it is the only thing you need before you start.

Will this work on my phone?

You can buy the book and read it anywhere. The folder itself goes on your computer, so set it up when you reach your desk.

How long does it take?

One hour, start to finish. Twelve steps of five minutes, and five short reads that do not touch the clock.

What is a second brain, in plain words?

Folders on your own computer, in an order. Your AI reads them before it answers. That is the whole of it.

Is the folder really free?

Yes. It is at the top of this page. Nothing here asks for your email address and nothing here costs anything.
