Personal System

Given my interest in AI and the mind, I have of course tried to create my own second brain, extended mind, or personal thought-partner combined with a butler — whatever you want to call it.

Everything here runs on one substrate — a vault of markdown notes (Obsidian) with Claude Code operating on top of it. The first section is what the system does for me day to day, and the second is the machinery underneath that makes all of it run.

The fun stuff
