Comment on Ask HN: What useful AI tools do you use every day?

Comments

Current workflow that might stick:

I’m using SuperWhisper for voice dictation and casually chatting with Claude Code, which I just start in the Obsidian vault directory.

I’m currently onboarding into a new project and need to gather and structure information quickly. So I just jot down whatever comes to mind — in natural language, no structure.

Claude takes care of organizing it: generating #tags, creating [[links]], and making things retrievable later.

After a couple of weeks, I can ask things like:

• What did I do yesterday?

• Who is “John Doe”?

• Which project uses Java version 21?

• …

Happy to share more if anyone’s curious.

I'm experimenting with a somewhat similar workflow.

I have a Boox tablet I use to take handwritten notes on any relevant topics during the day. And with that I create the following workflow: 1. transform handwritten notes into a markdown document using chatgpt 2. with this document I ask chatgpt to create a summary of yesterdays activities and a list of unfinished things I still need to work on today.

This approach isn't perfect but is surprisingly useful.

please do!
