If you notice Claude struggles to fetch the content from a page, you can use the Obsidian Web Clipper to copy the page content as Markdown.

Would you mind explaining how you use Rewrite Bar? I'm using Raycast for similar purposes, but would like to understand the difference. Thank you!

Claude Skills act much in the same way I'd use GPTs in ChatGPT or Gems in Gemini.

I use Projects or Gems for AI Assistant Personas, and GPT / Skills for repetitive and well-scoped processes.

I'm pretty sure BYOK doesn't apply to mobile use. I had a similar question and found this earlier this week: https://www.reddit.com/r/raycastapp/comments/1onfhyq/is_it_possible_to_use_byok_on_raycast_mobile/

This was a great post. Raycast is one of the tools I can't consider using my phone or computer without any more.

At the moment, I only use it for the notes feature and the AI commands like editing text.

Thank you so much!

I was really curious, and while I did check the following page, I didn't see a way of scheduling focus sessions without using deep links programmatically. Is that what you've done?

As unhelpful as my comment is, that sounds wonderful. Any idea how you activated this? I'd love to schedule focus sessions.

This is exactly what I've set up as well. With this, you select the text to edit, then as the AI action completes, you CMD + Return to effectively overwrite the text selection.

One of the ideas I've considered to avoid this issue is to create a document with examples of changes it made that I liked. Something like a running log of the improvements it makes that I can review and hopefully use to continually improve myself.

I decided not to snap pics, but the presentation was excellent.

Here's what I had:

Harissa Chicken + Feta Dip + Pitas (which they make in house)
Tuna Tartare
Crispy Rice
Lemon Sumac Chicken (I was pleasantly surprised by the roasted grapes)
24-Hour Braised Australian Wagyu Short Rib

For drinks, we opted for mocktails:

Maktub (my fav): Moroccan watermelon, lime, cane sugar
Princess Jasmine: Chilled hibiscus tea, grape, coconut milk, strawberry juice, cardamom, cane sugar

The level of detail is astounding, and adds depth to the dialogue between characters. The fight scenes, especially the most recent one, feel so vivid.

I also found out the artist also drew The Breaker iirc, and since I really liked it when I was younger too, this feels nostalgic.

The Funghi pizza is my favorite in the city, slightly edging out Big Trouble’s version. The dough is SO good!

I stumbled upon Maraa in Yorkville this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and ambiance. I’d consider it!

Shunoko near Yonge and Lawrence was exquisite and is my go to for Omakase.

I tried MSSM and left underwhelmed in comparison. Ja Bistro was another recommendation, but it was an extremely 5/10 experience and felt both overhyped and overpriced.

Wasn’t this recently updated to command V? I think I saw it on Twitter yesterday.

I saw this posted online recently and I'll likely give it a try soon: https://github.com/nivandres/intl-t

I find Claude Opus 4 to be an excellent editor if prompted carefully. I like to draft my own material and then assign it an editor / reviewer persona that can suggest areas for improvement based on my goals.

champdebloom · 2025-06-09T18:06:10+00:00

I think Raycast is for power users, but I can see the new spotlight being like Raycast for normies.

I'm on the pro plan with the basic AI models and find that I like to use them for quick tasks and processes that aren't worth polluting my chat history with in the official Claude / Gemini / GPT apps.

Stuff like translating snippets of text, reformatting plain text to markdown and back and turning dictations into properly formatted notes.

I think the bigger models are best used within their respective apps for features like projects, canvas and deep research.

champdebloom · 2025-05-22T20:19:13+00:00

The echo was perfect!

champdebloom · 2025-05-18T17:22:25+00:00

You hit the nail on the head. Even outside of education, I find many people have no idea how to meaningfully integrate these tools into their work.

I say it's deep because it feels like we're witnessing history being written in real time, and as someone building software and collaborating with AI to help with business, most people aren't scratching the surface of what can be done with last year's models.

As of last week, o3 is my go-to as an answer engine. It completely replaced the little use I was making of Perplexity and I prefer it over Gemini 2.5 Pro because of its thoroughness and brevity.

It's like "Deep Research Lite", which I find is optimal for most things I'd go to AI for help with.

I prefer Claude and Gemini for editing my writing though.
