​Building Your Personal AI Operating System with Granola

​Every meeting you take in Granola is building a record of what you care about, what you've committed to, and what keeps falling through, but most people never use it for more than recall.

​This session shows how to turn that record into an AI operating system or second brain. Never provide clarifying context to a prompt again - just work inside the systems that already have all your context, and build workflows and processes around it. 

You'll walk away knowing exactly how to:

• ​Set up the three building blocks of a personal AI OS: an identity file that tells AI what you'd prioritise, a three-layer memory model so context becomes durable instead of re-derived, and a way to target your real bottleneck instead of hoarding tools.

• ​Find your one constraint - the single thing limiting you this quarter - and pick the first AI workflow worth building to fix it.

• ​Start small without a big setup: the concrete steps to go from a blank folder to a working system you can use the next morning, drawn from how Jo runs email triage, daily briefings, and weekly reviews on markdown + AI.

​Your host
