DISCLAIMER: the post is written, by pressing buttons w/o AI. in neovim btw.

I’m using Obsidian for everything, but mostly to reduce the anxiety. Everything is there, so I’m not losing todos, ideas, next steps in the projects and the boring admin work that just has to be done.

Lately I’ve been saving some time outsourcing routine work to Claude. Like parsing a recipe I know exists online or making suggestions when choosing a new TV without ads or helping me select new books to read in the world with infinite amount of books.

Using Claude on the Obsidian files has multiple benefits:

• all the artefacts Claude generates stay with me, not in the web UI;
• everything is organized just like my other notes with needed links and tags;
• later I’ll be able to ask Siri to check the same files

There are some concerns as well:

• Anthropic is a PBC, but handing them some / all of my thoughts is spooky;
• Claude might wipe out all the notes, but I have backups for that.

Is it a lifechanging billion-dollar integration? – no, it’s just convenient to have letter generating machine inside of my “computer memory”.
