8020BRAIN
AI Business Operating System
An AI system that learns from your curated content, builds comprehensive business context, and answers strategic questions with your full business knowledge.
Status: In Development
Currently in local testing. Own The Agent mastermind members receive full source code access and are actively testing and helping shape the evolution of this tool. Future availability through FA2A community.
How It Works
8020brain is a three-stage system designed to solve a common problem: business context scattered across docs, email, memory, and code repositories.
Stage 1: Learn
Automatically ingests content from sources you choose. Currently monitors approximately 6 YouTube channels and 6 email newsletters—extracting transcripts and body copy, storing them in structured format, and making everything queryable.
The system organizes content by source and topic. Research stays current without manual effort.
Stage 2: Share
Collaboration stage currently in development. Will likely include sharing outputs and working with others.
Stage 3: Serve
AI integration that answers questions using your complete business context: product documentation, business strategy, customer insights, frameworks, historical decisions, and research from your content library.
Ask strategic questions. Get answers that consider your business philosophy, market position, and accumulated knowledge.
What Gets Captured
Business Context
Product documentation, business strategy and decisions, customer profiles, frameworks and methodologies, time constraints, and technology choices.
Content Library
Frameworks from courses, help documentation, slides and talks, teaching materials, and code.
Research Knowledge
YouTube transcripts (auto-updated), newsletter archives (auto-extracted), meeting notes (auto-captured). All queryable by topic or source.
Automated Content Ingestion
The system monitors YouTube channels and email newsletters you specify. Transcripts download automatically. Newsletter body copy extracts via Gmail script. Everything stores in structured format.
Query any topic across your research library. Find what specific creators said about specific topics. See how concepts apply to your business. Access insights from months of accumulated knowledge instantly.
Example Use Cases
Strategic Decisions
“Should I focus on enterprise or individual clients?” The system answers using your target audience documentation, insights from your newsletter research, and historical business decisions—all cited with sources.
Content Creation
Query past frameworks, reference previous talks, find relevant examples, and build on existing intellectual property without digging through old files.
Learning Integration
“What did Lenny say about pricing?” or “How does Ben think about the latest Claude Code release?” The system searches your research library and connects insights to your business context.
Decision Support
Access historical decisions with reasoning, customer feedback patterns, market positioning rationale, and product strategy evolution—all in one query.
Technical Approach
Building comprehensive context first, solving retrieval later. The current challenge: loading relevant context effectively within token budgets while maintaining response quality.
Exploring vector search, semantic search, and hybrid approaches. Starting simple with manual selection, iterating toward full automation.
Development Timeline
Q4 2025 (Current Phase)
Building comprehensive context. Documenting products, organizing existing content, structuring for AI consumption.
Q1 2026
Continue context building, test locally, refine the approach. May not be ready for member access yet.
Q2 2026+
Solve context loading, build query interface, test extensively, consider member beta as potential FA2A value-add.
Future Possibilities
Personal Use
Daily decision tool, strategy support, content creation aid, learning integration.
Member Template (Future)
Course on building your own business brain, template for context structure, advanced FA2A content showing AI implementation at scale.
Platform Potential
Demo site, potential SaaS offering, white-label for agencies, consulting applications.
The system demonstrates AI context principles—how comprehensive context produces better AI responses. Same concept as the 8020ads demo but at business-operating-system scale.
Where It Fits
Part of the Skills Tree Level 5: Agentic Systems. Advanced implementation showing real working example of “disposable software” at scale.
Could integrate with 8020agent data. Powers better FA2A content through research insights. Potential Build The Agent 2.0 showing advanced implementation.

Repository Structure
Organized as comprehensive business knowledge base:
/brain/ products/ Product docs (8020agent, FA2A, scripts, courses) context/ Business context (strategy, customers, philosophy) content/ Frameworks, slides, teaching materials research/ Auto-ingested YouTube + newsletters + meetings projects/ Ongoing work and initiatives scripts/ Google Ads Scripts and automation code code/ Automation: newsletter extraction, transcript downloads
Priority & Timeline
Medium priority. Important for personal use, not urgent for revenue. Building in background while FA2A member needs take precedence.
No launch pressure. Building it right matters more than building it fast. Test thoroughly. Launch when it's proven to work.
