Your Second Brain for PeopleSoft Is Coming
Read on The PeopleSoftCareer Website | READ TIME - 5 MINUTES
The PeopleSoft Insider is brought to you by:
Your All-in-One AI Assistant for PeopleSoft Work
Imagine one AI tool that can help you:
Draft SQL queries
Summarize functional specs
Debug PeopleCode
Generate diagrams, training videos, or even job aids
Tap into GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, DALL·E, and more — all in one place
This could be your new AI sidekick. One dashboard with coding agents, and all the top-tier LLMs at your fingertips.
Most PeopleSoft pros I know are brilliant and busy.
They’re juggling payroll deadlines, navigating convoluted retro pay logic, troubleshooting the same errors and issues week after week, tweaking BI Publisher templates, and keeping workflows alive every time someone retires or re-orgs happens.
They’ve dabbled with AI and ChatGPT. Maybe even had Gemini explain a SQL error.
But very few have integrated AI into their actual daily workflow.
And that’s the real issue.
The hard part of AI isn’t using it—it’s weaving it into what you already do every day:
Troubleshooting pay issues
Documenting custom bolt-ons
Writing functional specs
Testing break/fix tickets
Most AI guides you find online are written for generic knowledge workers. They promise things like “boost your productivity” or “streamline your calendar.”
They don’t speak the language of PeopleSoft.
They don’t understand that your day involves correcting combo code edits from a failed payroll load, digging through trace files, code, and component buffers, or documenting custom logic for time reporting codes.
But this is exactly why AI matters more for PeopleSoft than almost any other domain.
Because if anyone could use a tool that remembers your rules, summarizes your logic, and automates repetition—it’s you.
Hiring an Assistant With Amnesia
Right now, AI is like hiring a smart assistant with memory loss.
Every time you need help, you have to re-teach it everything:
How retro pay is calculated at your company
What “TRC” means in Time and Labor
Why certain Action/Reason combos mean rehire instead of transfer
It’s useful. But inefficient.
What you really need is a system.
A Second Brain.
One that doesn’t just chat. One that remembers your business rules, your naming conventions, your PeopleSoft quirks.
It knows:
What queries you run every month-end close
Which error code shows up when a department tree isn’t refreshed
How to explain security roles to an auditor
This isn’t hypothetical.
It’s already possible. And I’m going to show you how to build it.
Coming Soon: The AI-ERP Second Brain System
Along side of preparing to launch the new PeopleSoft Community, I’m also working on testing, tweaking, and documenting a system that will help PeopleSoft pros like you stop redoing the same work twice.
The guide is called:
“Bridge the AI-ERP Gap: Build Your Second Brain for PeopleSoft in 4 Weeks.”
And it covers:
The Psychology of AI Workflow Design: How to think like a systems builder, not a chatbot user
The 4 Core Building Blocks of your second ERP brain (Capture, Organize, Retrieve, Automate)
Real PeopleSoft Examples of what to store, how to connect, and how to use it
Templates for audit notes, SQL queries, testing steps, and more
How to link your AI assistant (like ChatGPT or Gemini) to this system so it becomes more useful over time
Most second-brain tutorials are built for marketers or founders.
This one is going to be for PeopleSoft professionals.
No fluff. No fake productivity hacks. Just clear, repeatable workflows you can actually use.
But here’s the twist:
This guide will not be available on the PeopleSoftCareer blog or newsletter.
It’s going to be part of a new private experience we’re launching, where you will be able to ask questions, connect with other PeopleSoft pros and even add your own knowledge and expertise:
The New PeopleSoft Community
A new private space for PeopleSoft pros who want to:
Learn new tools (like AI and automation)
Share job leads, solutions, and resources
Grow their careers through visibility, networking, and learning
It will be filled with:
Exclusive guides like this Second Brain guide
Member-only conversations with other PeopleSoft experts
Group discussions
A LinkedIn style community just for PeopleSoft without the noise
Templates, prompts, and webinars
Bottom Line
You don’t need to wait for GPT-5. You don’t have to wait to move PeopleSoft on OCI. You don’t need to be a developer. And you don’t need to wait for the next AI integration for PeopleSoft.
You just need a real working system that lets you remember what matters, reduce duplication, and scale your expertise.
This ERP-PeopleSoft Second Brain guide is just the beginning.
The New PeopleSoft Community is where we’ll take this to the next level—together.

It’s easy to say a system isn’t working. A button is missing, a report didn’t run, someone hits a permission error. But most of the time, these aren’t bugs in the software. They’re bugs in how people understand what it’s doing. Read More
That's all for today.
See you next Saturday.
