- I love Granola but their free plan hides notes >30 days old. So I built a skill that pulls every meeting into a local Obsidian vault from the desktop app on mac via a MCP, syncs to Drive, backs up to a GitHub repo, and lets me chat with the notes from Claude Code based on the folder structures set-up in granola. Daily auto-sync via a set of scripts.
- Automation to add tasks from granola notes from any meeting directly to Linear via MCP and automations using Codex.
- Playing around with openclaw exploring new use-cases - adding grocery to cart on instamart via telegram, auto-creating calendar blocks from my weekly planning sheet every Monday.
- Custom claude skill to go through my apple notes from last 7 days and surface out any to-dos because i tend to scribble a bunch of stuff there.
- For complex topics, I start with LLM conversations with claude to think through hairy problems and edge cases, then use NotebookLM audio overviews during walks to develop a deeper understanding, this one is to double-click on the architecture of a dynamically-adaptive app calibrated to the learner leveraging knowledge graphs to help get better grades in Cambrdige IGCSE and A levels.
- Prototyping with Lovable building quick prototypes to convey ideas and also to test how far the tools can go (this is another wip proactive growth-oriented coach for voice-based conversations).
- Exploring the implementation of LLM wiki from Karpathy for capturing insights from AI conversations (referrable in the future by AI) in a personal Obsidian because they get lost otherwise.
High-quality peers, small high-speed teams (seed to Series B), writing culture, and environments that benefit from AI tailwinds. I am especially interested in AI-first products, voice as interaction, wellness, and AI-hardware. I lean consumer, but enjoy business products too.
