Good morning — here's your day

2BAgent · morning briefing · 7:00 am

You captured 11 thoughts yesterday — 3 decisions, 2 insights, 4 tasks.

Active theme: database optimization has appeared 6× this week.

2 stale tasks: "Review PR" (3d) and "Follow up with Alice" (6d).

Next meeting: Q2 planning at 2pm. Alice confirmed. Agenda not set.

Pattern: Decisions made on Fridays tend to be revisited Monday — consider a decision log.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

Your brain captures thousands of ideas, decisions, and commitments every week. Most of them disappear. 2BAgent is built to fix exactly that.

💭

Brilliant ideas go missing

You had a flash of insight during your commute. By the time you're at your desk, it's gone. You remember you had the idea but not what it was.

"I know I thought about this before… I just can't find where I wrote it down."

😵

Monday morning paralysis

Inbox has 47 unread messages. Three tasks are overdue. A meeting is in 30 minutes. You have no idea where to start or what matters most.

"Every week I spend the first hour just figuring out what I was doing."

🤝

Relationships fading silently

You meant to reconnect with an old colleague. Three months passed. Another relationship gone quiet — not from conflict, just from forgetting.

"I genuinely care, I just lose track of people when life gets busy."

📋

Tasks with no lifecycle

You captured a to-do six days ago. It has no due date, no status, no follow-up. It's just sitting there — and you don't know about the backlog growing in silence.

"My tasks pile up until they become small disasters."

🔒

Cloud services you can't trust

Your thoughts are personal. Strategies are confidential. You don't want your second brain living in a corporate data center, subject to policy changes and breaches.

"I stopped using Notion for sensitive work. I need something I own."

🔍

Keyword search fails you

You search for "database performance" but you wrote "asyncpg bottleneck." You search for "Alice" but you tagged it "team lead." You know the thought exists. You can't reach it.

"I know I wrote this down somewhere — but the search can't find it."

The Solution

Three pillars of a real second brain

2BAgent is built around three capabilities that work together to turn scattered thoughts into a living knowledge system that grows smarter over time.

⚡

Capture everywhere

One Discord command. A direct API call. A message in Claude Desktop. However you work, 2BAgent receives your thoughts, auto-classifies them by type and topic, and stores them with a semantic embedding — in under 200ms.

🔍

Find by meaning

Hybrid search combines 1024-dimensional vector embeddings (Ollama, local) with full-text search. Ask "what did I decide about the database?" and find results even if you never used those exact words. Zero cloud calls.

🧠

Understand your patterns

Eight AI jobs run while you sleep. Morning briefings, evening reviews, relationship decay alerts, stale task nudges, weekly pattern recognition. The agent reads your context and delivers synthesized insights to Discord each day.

Everything you need

A complete second brain stack

From capture to synthesis, every component is purpose-built and runs locally.

💬

Discord Integration

Full slash command suite: /capture, /search, /recent, /todo, /stats, /agent. Works in any server you add the bot to.

slash commands

🔍

Hybrid Search

Vector cosine similarity (0.7×) merged with full-text search (0.3×). Finds by meaning when keywords fail. Switch modes per query.

Task Lifecycle

Full CRUD for tasks: capture (any capitalization), list open, complete, reopen, search overdue. Staleness check nudges you at 8am for any task idle 48h+.

Habit Tracking

Configure pillars in HABITS.md. Log completion via MCP or Discord. Evening check at 8:30pm nudges unchecked habits. Streak tracking included.

📓

Obsidian Vault

Read any note, search the vault, and write new notes via Local REST API. Write access is gated to a configurable folder for safety.

Autonomy Levels

Four levels: observer (read-only), advisor (Discord posts), assistant (draft creation), partner (send email + calendar writes). You control how much it acts.

Smart Scheduling

8 default cron jobs. Add custom jobs from Discord using plain English: "every Friday at 5pm". The agent interprets it into a cron expression for you to confirm.

Simple in use, powerful in practice

Three things you do. Hundreds of things the agent does for you.

Capture a thought

Use Discord, the REST API, or Claude Desktop to send any thought. No formatting required. Type it as you'd say it.

Find it by meaning

Ask in plain English from Discord, Claude Desktop, or the web UI. The hybrid search combines semantic and full-text modes automatically.
