Welcome to Living Off AI

Build your own AI second brain — for your business and your life.

A few ground rules

• 1Confidentiality. What's shared here stays here — honest about wins and losses.
• 2We record the first part. Teaching + check-ins are recorded so anyone who misses can catch up. The Q&A — the second part — stays off the record.
• 3No one gets left behind. We keep moving forward — and Gianluca and I help you individually, so you never stay stuck.
• 4Your own project. Each of you builds your thing — not a copy of mine.
• 5Show up. Momentum comes from seeing each other move.

Who we are

Egils — host.
Living on his own AI second brain for years. The method & the "why".

Gianluca — host.
Build-your-own, vendor-lock-free. The tech & the "how".

The shift is happening — fast

Search interest, last ~2 years (Google Trends). And AI can finally do the work — organize your notes & screenshots, draft emails, set your calendar, prep your meetings. Not just chat.

We're at the "1997" of AI. Build the infrastructure you own now — before the platforms own your context.

Three layers around one core you own: Memory (your knowledge) · Tools (what it does) · Connections (your world) — growing outward over time.

It runs on an engine — pick yours

Different foundations, same idea — and it lives where you choose: your own computer (simplest) or a small always-on server.

Your AI assistant — built around you

Nobody builds the exact same thing. You build for your reality:

• ▹For one — calls & CRM: who said what, follow-ups, relationships.
• ▹For another — marketing: content, campaigns, in your voice.
• ▹For another — something else entirely: your bottleneck, your edge.

Same foundation. Your use-case.

You're closer to the top than you think

Notion 100M+ users · Obsidian ~1.5M — almost everyone just stores; the always-on, automating tier is tiny (our estimate, not a census). If it feels hard, it's because you're at the edge — no beaten path yet. This cohort is the path.

By week 8 — a system you own

Not notes. A working system. Yours.

Build-with-me, not a course

• ▹You build YOUR project — with the group's help.
• ▹We help you individually — Gianluca and I work 1:1 with each of you. No one gets left behind.
• ▹Step by step — radical slowness; we never go faster than the group.
• ▹Similar-level peers — people you can actually talk to.
• ▹2 hours live each week — teaching + hands-on Q&A.

Two things to have ready

• 1One AI account — ChatGPT, Claude or Grok (paid is best). We'll lean on Claude most for the building side.
• 2A "home" for your second brain — start on your own computer (works while it's on). For always-on, a small server like Hetzner (~€5/month) or Hostinger. We'll set it up together — nothing to decide now.

No need to figure it all out now — that's what we're here for.
