[Tool] I built a bridge between Obsidian and AI: "Second Brain Joiner"

Hello everyone! :brain::sparkles:

As a systems engineer and a long-time Obsidian user, I’ve always wanted a seamless way to feed my entire “Second Brain” into AI models like Gemini or Claude. I looked for existing tools that could handle batch-processing my notes (both from free and paid apps) into a clean, single format, but I couldn’t find exactly what I needed.

So, I decided to build it myself.

It’s called “Second Brain Joiner”. I originally designed this for my own workflow, but it worked so well that I wanted to share it with this amazing community.

What it does: It’s a lightweight Google Cloud Function that merges your vault (ZIP) into a single, AI-ready Markdown file. It ensures privacy (runs on your own cloud) and even handles things like Japanese filename encoding and integrity reporting.

Why I’m sharing this: I’ve made the source code completely Open Source on GitHub. I believe in the power of shared knowledge, so please feel free to use it, tweak it, or take it apart!

If this tool saves you even five minutes of tedious work, or helps you gain new insights from your notes, it would make me incredibly happy.

I hope this helps your digital garden grow. Happy linking!

To make things even clearer, I’ve put together a simple diagram of the workflow. Hope this helps anyone looking to bridge their Obsidian vault with AI! :nerd_face:

Documentation Overhaul: New Visual Guide! :rocket:

To make the setup process smoother for everyone, I’ve completely revised the README.

Visual Aids: Added 10+ screenshots of the Google Cloud Console.

Detailed Steps: Refined the instructions based on feedback to be more granular and beginner-friendly.
I haven’t changed the core logic this time, but this “manual update” should help everyone get started without the headache.
Check out the new guide here:
