[officehours 57] Build a Company Brain, Part 1 of 6: Design

​Most AI training teaches one vendor's product. It doesn't teach a team how to work together with AI, or where to start. This is Part 1 of a six-part series on building a private company brain with tools you already have: Todoist for the work, Notion for the knowledge, GitHub for the backup.

​What we'll cover

• ​Why private: what happens to your data when nobody sets the terms

• ​A one-page AI policy: data classes, which tools may see which, and the settings to check

• ​Taking inventory of your people, processes, information and systems

• ​A simple brain design: Todoist for the work, Notion for the knowledge, GitHub for the backup

• ​Live demo: AI picks up a task, writes the page, and syncs it as text

​What you leave with

• ​A policy you can adapt in an afternoon

• ​The steps to share a Todoist project, a Notion space and a GitHub repo with a collaborator

• ​An inventory to finish before Part 3

​No GPU and no coding required.
