What is Amelia building?

Building Brain Architect on the side

Brain Architect

Visit brainarchitect.ai

Waitlist open; setup service in early days.

Brain Architect builds you one private knowledge base of who you are, what you are working on and how you think, and connects it to every AI you use, so each one works like it has known you for years. It is for busy founders and professionals who already use AI but are tired of re-explaining themselves to each tool. The files live in storage you control, in plain formats you can read, move or delete, so you can switch tools, or quit the service, and keep the whole brain. It started as a hand-held setup service; the site is a waitlist while I learn what people need.

The story

I spent my sabbatical building my own AI brain, and it turned out to be my weird deep niche specialty interest. Friends kept asking how it worked, so I started setting brains up for them, demoed it to my business school section, and watched a few people copy pieces of it for themselves.

In August I wrote the plan on paper: start as a personal consultancy, let paying clients become beta testers, and only then build a product. Not venture scale, think Obsidian. In September I designed a landing page with Claude and shipped it the same day; a few weeks later I redesigned it after a friend said the font looked AI-generated.

Launched
September 22, 2026 (landing page and waitlist)

A few tips

  • Design in Claude first, ship from Claude Code. The page started as a Claude design canvas and went live from Claude Code the same day, as a single HTML file with no framework.
  • Use a Google Form as the waitlist backend. The page posts the email straight to a one-question form, and every signup lands in a Google Sheet. No server, no database.
  • Have the AI write a plain-English test list, then a Playwright suite that checks the signup still works on five screen sizes before every push and every Monday.
  • Watch the hosting deploy budget. 21 deploys in one day used up Netlify's free plan, so now a rule in the repo's AGENTS.md tells every AI session to batch changes.

Try it yourself

Copy this prompt and paste it into ChatGPT or Claude to try it yourself.

I keep re-explaining myself to every AI I use, and I saw Amelia Lin's What Are We Building? desktop at whatarewebuilding.ai. Amelia runs Brain Architect (brainarchitect.ai), which sets up one private knowledge base of who you are and how you work, as plain files you own, and connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini so every tool already knows you. Before I sign up, help me figure out if I need it: ask me which AI tools I use, what I find myself repeating to them, and where my notes and documents live today. Then give me a short list of what my brain should hold first, and point me to brainarchitect.ai to join the waitlist. Ask me for anything you need.
