Ask HN: How do you integrate AI assistants into your note taking?

2 andruby 1 6/9/2025, 3:29:53 PM

I've been rethinking my personal knowledge management setup and realized my workflow is becoming AI-first. Most of my projects and ideas now start with a conversation in Claude/ChatGPT, but then I switch to Obsidian for structured notes. This creates friction - my thinking process is split across tools.

Do you "Add AI to a note taking app" or "Add structure to AI apps"?

I'm curious if others are thinking about this and how others are handling this.

I'm playing with the idea of using a code editor like Zed.dev for my notes, and using its "AI Agent" flow.

I'd move the Obsidian markdown notes into a git repo (for versioning). Which would also open the door to running Claude Code to analyse my note taking.

Creating commits could be (semi) automated with a script that takes a git-diff and ask a local (or cheap) LLM to create logical commits with a reasonable commit message. The script could run on file save or periodically.

Mobile editing would be worse than Obsidian's iOS app. Workingcopy.app could provide an inferior but working UX.

Thinking in progress :D
