Setup · 4 steps

Set up Neo and your second brain in 4 steps.

This one needs a computer.

Neo lives in the Claude desktop app. That app only runs on a Windows computer or a Mac. There is no way to do these four steps on a phone.

Read them here if you like. When you are at your computer, open 1hourai.com and work down the page.

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.

You do this on your computer. The app will not run on a phone.
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.

This download only works on your computer.
3

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. There is no Add folder button on a phone.
4

Paste the instructions in

The words below go into a box inside the Claude desktop app. Once they are in and saved, Neo is awake.

The instructions for Neo

These are the words that wake Neo up.

On your computer you copy them in one press. Here is exactly where they go.

  1. Open the Claude desktop app.
  2. Look at the bottom left corner. Your own name or your initials sit there. Click them.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Find the box titled Instructions for Claude.
  5. Click inside that box and paste the words in.
  6. Save it. Start a new chat and say hello.
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.
There is a yellow copy button here when you open this page on a computer.

That’s it. Now you can start talking to Neo.

Open the app and say hi. He takes it from there.

Paste Neo’s instructions into the app.

Questions.

Do I need to be technical?

No. It is all mouse clicks. Nothing anywhere asks you to type a command, and nothing asks you to learn a single technical word.

My files are a mess. Is that a problem?

No. The mess is what goes in. Nothing has to be tidied, renamed or sorted first — that is the job you are handing over.

What do I actually need?

A computer, Windows or Mac, and the Claude desktop app. The app is free to install. Your existing quotes, emails and documents are all you bring.

Will this work on my phone?

You can read everything here on your phone. The setup itself happens on your computer, so do that part when you are back at your desk.

How long does it take?

Under an hour, start to finish. You are working with it the same day, not next month.

What is a second brain, in plain words?

It is everything your business knows — your prices, your customers, how you do the work — kept on your own computer in an order your AI can read 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.
