| 9 | This isn't a notes app. It's a database with vector search and an open protocol — built so that every AI tool you use shares the same persistent memory of you. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, whatever ships next month. One brain. All of them. |

| 13 | ## Getting Started |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Never built an Open Brain? Start here: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 1. **[Setup Guide](docs/01-getting-started.md)** — Build the full system (database, AI gateway, Slack capture, MCP server) in about 45 minutes. No coding experience needed. Or watch the [video walkthrough](https://vimeo.com/1174979042/f883f6489a) (~27 min). |
| 18 | 2. **[AI-Assisted Setup](docs/04-ai-assisted-setup.md)** — Prefer building with Cursor, Claude Code, or another AI coding tool? Point it at this repo and go. Same system, different workflow. |
| 19 | 3. **[Companion Prompts](docs/02-companion-prompts.md)** — Five prompts that help you migrate your memories, discover use cases, and build the capture habit. |
| 20 | 4. **Then pick Extension 1** and start building. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | **If you hit a wall:** We built a [FAQ](docs/03-faq.md) that covers the most common questions and gotchas. And if you need real-time help, we created dedicated AI assistants that know this system inside and out: a [Claude Skill](https://www.notion.so/product-templates/Open-Brain-Companion-Claude-Skill-31a5a2ccb526802797caeb37df3ba3cb?source=copy_link), a [ChatGPT Custom GPT](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-69a892b6a7708191b00e48ff655d5597-nate-jones-open-brain-assistant), and a [Gemini GEM](https://gemini.google.com/gem/1fDsAENjhdku-3RufY7ystbS1Md8MtDCg?usp=sharing). Use whichever one matches the AI tool you already use. |
