Dave Tedder runs a Second Brain system: a Slack-to-Notion automation deployed on Railway that classifies Slack messages via Claude API and routes them to the correct Notion database with proper properties. It handles tasks, projects, clients, payments, intakes, notes, resources, ideas, content, and chain commands. It also polls Gmail for intake form submissions and creates Google Calendar events for appointments. The system is fully built and running in production for The Custom Tattoo Company.
