NotebookLM to explore sources in bulk, prepare vacations etc

Claude Code for coding and as basis for my AI assistant/ghostwriter (productivity, planning, prioritization, writing articles, newsletters, social media posts, etc

Gemini & Sora for images, also replicate and Flux (much less now)

Veo 3 for video (tests)

code2prompt to create AI Mega prompts out of my notes

LM Studio and ollama for local LLMs

Dockmaster for installing/running MCP servers. Hopefully soon Desktop Extensions

Various Obsidian extensions for AI

Oh and tons more stuff

Some ideas around reading multiple books in parallel (I'm a fan).

How do you manage your knowledge, ideas, goals, plans, priorities, ...? Do you have a system, or is it all just a big pile of mud?

I've been writing for many years, and I I'm still very far from being able to pay rent

Building a Knowledge Management system based on that lifecycle is really valuable, because it defines a clear path from discovery to leverage.

The Knowledge Management lifecycle he uses is the one I also follow and recommend.

I've documented it for myself here: https://notes.dsebastien.net/30+Areas/33+Permanent+notes/33....

I've also explained it, along with many related concepts and ideas in the course I've just released: https://knowledge-management-for-beginners.com

Obsidian is also the single source of truth for everything I create and share: articles, newsletters, courses, and even books.

I shared my communications plan here: https://notes.dsebastien.net/30+Areas/33+Permanent+notes/33....

This enables me to connect everything and to have a single place where I maintain the content.

My end goal is automating publishing and updates to all platforms from within Obsidian.

A list of the AI tools I regularly use.

There are multiple directories already. I listed some in my notes: https://notes.dsebastien.net/30+Areas/33+Permanent+notes/33....

It's just a an RPC-like protocol and SDKs that implement it to help LLMs understand what they can do with other systems (eg GitHub, file systems, Obsidian, etc). It uses a client-server architecture where servers implementing MCP expose a set of commands and prompts to interact with a specific system. And clients (LLMs) can interact with the servers it knows about.

So MCP makes it easy for LLMs to interact with anything. And there are now hundreds of such servers.

I shared some notes about it here. Well worth exploring right now: https://notes.dsebastien.net/30+Areas/33+Permanent+notes/33....

I'm still fond of old school blogs and RSS feeds

Also for enterprises, being able to point to a different plugins source through config would be great. At work we're mirroring many things using JFrog Artifactory, giving us control and oversight

This is awesome news for the community. With a built-in multiplayer mode, it would be epic.

Yes, it works great.

I actually combine that, Git and Syncthing for different needs.

Try the Obsidian Web Clipper: https://www.dsebastien.net/supercharge-your-knowledge-captur...

An analysis of my Personal Knowledge Management system containing 8,000 notes and 64,000 links, exploring various aspects, including core stats, architecture, design principles, approach & system.

I've tried to better document my own Knowledge Management system, while preparing my course on this topic.

It may seem like it's "too much", but it's what works for me right now. And having a clearly documented system will help me refine it over time.

I store all I write in Obsidian, including my articles, my own books, my courses, my YT scripts, the quotes I enjoy, etc. It's really the engine for my writing activity.

Beyond that, it's also where I plan and organize all my work, from yearly plans down to daily tasks.

And it's where I hold my journal, where all the inputs and output go.

I have listed various links on my notes: https://notes.dsebastien.net/30+Areas/33+Permanent+notes/33....

I hoped to find something different: a digest of my recent notes. Would be cool as well

Discover how cool the Obsidian Web Clipper is

Writing helps a lot. That's why I'm such a big fan of Personal Knowledge Management

I published many articles on this topic: https://dsebastien.net

My upcoming Knowledge Management course: https://developassion.gumroad.com/l/knowledge-management-for...

Sorry for the self plug, but I want to help as many people as possible discover and leverage Knowledge Management.

Yes! The Obsidian Web Clipper is pretty neat. I just published an article about it: https://www.dsebastien.net/supercharge-your-knowledge-captur...

I use Obsidian and store the data in my daily notes.

The cool thing that it's easy to create visualizations with different plugins

You'll also lose the opportunity to use the MCP integration of Claude Desktop. It's still early on but this has huge potential

Not yet, but it's on my list of things to explore!

This is the updated version of the list of plugins I heavily recommend checking out.

Note that I've added a warning about the fact that new users SHOULD NOT waste their time diving into this right at the beginning, and should instead spend their time exploring the app and WRITING.
