Build a second brain you control.

The first task you teach your AI helper is to keep your second brain in order. You drop a new note or document in an inbox folder. Your AI helper suggests where it belongs, and you say yes before anything moves. Each file gets a short label, so you can find it again. A private folder stays closed to the helper unless you point it at one file. You decide. As you keep building, your helper can grow into a more complete system.

Your second brain is a folder on your computer, and you decide what goes in it. When your AI helper reads a file, the text of that file goes to Anthropic, the company that makes Claude, so Claude can answer. On a Pro or Max plan, you choose whether Anthropic may use your data to train its models. You can change that choice at any time in your Claude privacy settings.

It is a set of rules, files, and habits that you build around the AI you already use. The rules tell your AI to give you the truth, show its sources, and ask before it acts. The files hold who you are and how you work, so your AI starts from your context. Your private files live on your own computer.

You can start from zero. No coding background needed. I give you a starter for your AI helper and a starter for your second brain, and I walk you through each step in the live sessions and the Build Labs.

The training runs four weeks, and each person builds their own recurring task. The Boot Camp runs two weeks, and everyone builds the same thing: a starter AI helper and a second brain it helps you maintain. Both include one year of access to the recordings, the community, and future trainings that are available within your year of membership, so you can take the Boot Camp now and join the training later. See the four-week training.

Attendance is what counts for the required Friday labs. You can watch the recording to catch up. If you cannot make a Friday, join that week’s Thursday lab in its place.

Your investment covers the two-week Boot Camp and one year of access to the recordings, the community, and future trainings that are available within your year of membership. If you do the work in every session and in both Second Brain Build Labs, and the work I assign during sessions, in good faith and do not get value, tell me within 10 business days of the final session. You get a full refund. Want to split the payment into two? Email hello@sheilaphicil.com.

Yes. After you reserve your seat, you receive a receipt for your records. If your employer needs an invoice in its name, email hello@sheilaphicil.com and I will send one.
