Script 01: The 30-second federated query trace
Length: 75 seconds
Target viewer: Obsidian power user in a 2-4-person reading group or study circle
One idea: One agent question, two vaults, one answer. No exports, no uploads.
Shot list note
Screen recording: split left (user's terminal / Obsidian), right (friend's node activity indicator). Show the query fire, the mesh trace fan out, the cited answer land. No face cam needed.
Script
| Time | VISUAL / ON-SCREEN | VOICEOVER |
|---|---|---|
| 0:00 | Terminal. Cursor blinking. | "My study partner's notes are on her machine. Mine are on mine. Watch what happens when I ask one question." |
| 0:06 | Type: ask "How did we decide to prioritize the Q3 reading list?" then hit enter. |
"That question goes to my agent." |
| 0:10 | Screen splits: left shows local vault search hitting q3-plan.md; right shows a peer node indicator lighting up. |
"It searches my vault first, finds my prioritization note, then peers with her node." |
| 0:18 | Right panel: peer:anna-node → reading-group/decisions.md. A match. Both results collapse into one answer block in the terminal. |
"Her node returns the thread where we actually made the call. Two vaults. One answer." |
| 0:26 | Answer block on screen. Two citations visible: [local: q3-plan.md] and [anna-node: reading-group/decisions.md]. |
"Both sources cited. Neither of us exported a thing. Her files didn't move. Mine didn't move." |
| 0:34 | Zoom out. Show file manager: no new files, no uploads. | "There's no shared cloud folder. No copy of her notes sitting on my disk. The server routed the query. It doesn't hold the content." |
| 0:44 | Text on screen: contentless CMS → notes stay home → only answers cross the wire |
"That's what trip2g does. It's a gate, not a vault." |
| 0:52 | Obsidian open on both sides, both vaults look exactly as they were. | "We've been rebuilding that kind of answer by hand, from three chat histories, every week. This took four seconds." |
| 1:02 | End card. trip2g logo. URL. Two lines of text. | "Self-host it: one binary, MIT license. Or try the sandbox: trip2g.com." |
