I was sick of AI that didn't listen so I built this AI BRAIN

I’m done doing my most important work inside “normal” chat interfaces. In this video I show what I’m using instead: a portable AI Brain (Project Meridian) made of nothing but folders + Markdown files. #AI #AIAgents #AgenticAI It adds a live HUD dashboard, editable “cognitive sliders,” personality modes, and a memory protocol you can drop into any agent running on your computer (OpenClaw / Google Antigravity / Manus-style agents, etc.). I’ll walk through my failed prototypes, what finally worked, and how you can set up your own brain from the GitHub download. ⚠️ Security note: be careful what agent tools/repos you install. Trust and verification matter. 🔗 AI Brain download: https://github.com/mattvideoproductions/MERIDIAN_Brain 🎥 My previous agentic-AI context video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s5Ih04syFE ▼ Link(s) From Today’s Video: Download Anti Gravity: https://antigravity.google/ Download Open Claw: https://openclaw.ai/ ► MattVidPro Discord: https://discord.gg/mattvidpro ► Follow Me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattVidPro ► Buy me a Coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/mattvidpro ------------------------------------------------- ▼ Extra Links of Interest: General AI Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrfI66qWYbW3acrBQ4qltDBsjxaoGSl3I AI I use to edit videos: https://www.descript.com/?lmref=nA4fDg Instagram: instagram.com/mattvidpro Tiktok: tiktok.com/@mattvidpro Gaming & Extras Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattVidProGaming Let's work together! - For brand & sponsorship inquiries: https://tally.so/r/3xdz4E - For all other business inquiries: [email protected] Thanks for watching Matt Video Productions!
