"Build Your Second Brain for Free with Gemini and Google Docs"
Michael Kwan
CEO, Pixl Digital
Founder, WebX
Session Overview:
Don't you wish you had an assistant who remembers everything you know and drafts your work the way you would write it? That is a second brain, and in this session you will build your own using only free tools you already have - Google Gemini and Google Docs. We'll use AI to build a starter library of documents, structure it into a searchable Second Brain, then use it as a thinking partner, writing assistant, and much more.


Session Takeaway:
1.⁠ ⁠Build a working Second Brain from scratch, using only free tools you already have - no coding and no subscriptions required.
2.⁠ ⁠Master the simple loop that grows it - let AI interview you, one topic at a time, and file what it learns into a searchable library.
3.⁠ ⁠Put it to work the same day, as a writing assistant that drafts in your voice and a thinking partner that helps you plan and decide.


Note: Bring a laptop with a Google account signed in. Everything used in this session is free - nothing to buy, nothing to install. Attendees without a laptop can follow on mobile, and expand on it at a later time. For advanced users with a Claude Pro subscription, come with Claude Desktop pre-installed for an advanced Claude Code workflow.
