For Building a Second Brain people

Capture, Organize, Distill, Express. With your agents.

TeamYou is a second brain every AI you use can read and add to. Your agents take each step with you, and what they write starts from your notes, not from scratch.

  • You see every change
The problem

Your second brain stops where your AI starts.

Your notes live in one app. Your AI lives in chats that never see them. So the best ideas from a chat stay in the chat, and every draft starts from zero.

Good ideas stay in the chat

CODE, mapped

Every step of CODE has an agent who can take it.

CODE is the process at the heart of Tiago Forte’s Building a Second Brain. In TeamYou, any agent you connect can take a step, and the next agent picks up where it left off.

  1. Capture → details and tasks

    Say “save that” in any chat you’ve connected. The agent adds a detail to a topic, or a task to a project, while the idea is fresh.

    Detail: The Larkspur has a 40-person room
  2. Organize → projects and areas

    Agents file what they capture into the projects and areas you already keep, organized for action, not by subject.

    Area: Team · Project: Q4 offsite
  3. Distill → topic summaries

    Details stay as they were captured, with the topic’s summary on top: progressive summarization, in two layers. With editing on, an agent can rewrite the summary as the details grow.

    Summary: Larkspur, Nov 12, 40 people, $9k
  4. Express → Agent Drive docs

    Ask for a brief, a plan, or a post. The agent searches your topics first, writes the draft into Agent Drive, and can file it in the project it’s for.

Connect

Connect in about a minute.

Connect ChatGPT or Claude with one link and sign in, or paste one setup code into an agent. Then say “save that” the next time a chat says something worth keeping.

  1. Connect ChatGPT or Claude

    Add TeamYou as a connector with one link and sign in. It asks your permission first.

  2. Or paste one setup code

    Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, and other agents set themselves up from one pasted prompt.

  3. Change anything

    See what your agent added, and edit or delete any of it. Editing, deleting, and sharing stay off for agents until you turn them on.

Questions

Good questions.

Is this official Building a Second Brain software?

No. Building a Second Brain, CODE, and PARA are the work of Tiago Forte and Forte Labs. TeamYou is an independent workspace, not affiliated with or endorsed by them, that fits the method well.

Do I have to use PARA?

No. PARA fits well, since TeamYou has projects and areas of its own, but you can file topics however you like.

Will an agent rewrite my notes?

Only if you let it. Agents can add details and tasks. Editing, including a topic’s summary, stays off for agents until you turn it on, and every change shows which agent made it, and when.

Do I have to leave Notion or Obsidian?

No. Keep writing where you write. Have your agents capture into TeamYou what they should be able to find, and run both side by side.

What does it cost?

Free to start. Plus is $8 a month, with no caps.
