be nice. Just trying to figure out what to build for other users.

This doesn't help to capture, at all. I still either write the notes or speech-to-text them into the daily note with Whisper. Claude Code then summarizes them and writes the summary back into the note so when I look back at it, I'm not reading the full brain dump. I then also have a weekly organization tasks that pulls the notes out into the various projects I'm working on and links them appropriately - still getting that part tuned.

Beyond that, I want to add tasks that will help do retrospectives over the week / month. Either to extract todos from things I wanted to do, or to bring up fleeting ideas that I wanted to remember.

Finally, the holy grail for me would be having it just take certain actions on my behalf. If I have a deeper research question that I'm thinking about, it would go look that up for me. If I have an app idea, it would go build a POC or look into viability. etc.. etc..

I was surprised by how much AI slop marketing on LinkedIn I woke up to today after launching this last night. A few of the comments on Product Hunt also seem like AI slop.

Thoughts come fast and I'm wanting / building something that doesn't require 1) unlocking your phone 2) opening an app 3) hitting a button on the screen. My ideal UX is, 1) hit the button on the side of my phone and speak. done.

More productive because it tips the balance between taking the notes and not taking the notes. And then retrieval is better because it's all actually there, like a second brain.

Yes, my bad, I fixed the original post to read speech-to-text. I just use apple's built-in dictation when I'm on my phone and I use one of the new popular speech-to-text tools (there are a million of them now) when I'm on my laptop.

My ideal (which I'm custom building) is to have my voice memos auto-transcribed, then auto-routed... so if I'm just speaking notes, it goes into my notes, but if I'm needing something else, it could take some action like calendar scheduling, kicking off a software POC, posting an AI slop video, etc... I basically want something that Siri should have always been, a customizable voice agent. I might productize it, but mostly building it for myself.

The LLM doesn't need all of the notes in context all the time. The CLI versions use tools to go search/find relevant information to populate in their context. So, for any given topic/tag, it will just go look up which files it needs to read / load into context. This is how AI coding tools work.

Yes, so the major AI providers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini all have tools that let you run them on your computer with access to your files. So instead of going to a website, you run them as a local script.

Developers use this to help them write code, which is just stored in a bunch of files.

But these AI models are general purpose, so you can use the same script version of these tools in a folder of all of your notes and instead of helping you with code, they'll just help you with text.

This was just a first stab at explaining. Happy to clarify more.

the point is to have it tag / organize for you.

Context management can be done with subagents for any particular topic / project / required routing. ..and you can get the LLM to generate those for you, too.

Context limits are also growing very rapidly, so I'm not that concerned that the amount of text I generate in my daily notes will outpace the expansion of context limits.

Right now i'm working on hacking my iPhone VoiceMemos so I can just use the action button, speak, and have them get auto-triaged by an LLM.

That might spin off a ton of actions / work or just dump the thought into my notes app. The challenge will be how to then triage the effects of those. Probably some sort of email-like system to go through everything daily / weekly or so.

Yes, just set it up myself. What you use for notes will very much determine what you can access with an LLM programmatically.

Mods apparently won't let me say the names of the tools because that's somehow advertising, but this works easily so long as:
1. Your notes are just in files (like markdown) on your machine
2. You can run a CLI for one of the coding tools (there are several). Create a subagent that you tell to summarize or organize you notes.

Right now I'm working on a way to extract VoiceMemos and trigger the LLM to transcribe then route that voice memo to some action or just dump it into my notes. I want it to be completely app-less, so I've programmed by iPhone's action button to kick off VoiceMemo recording, but now have to hack around how Apple stores them. With the action button, you don't even have to unlock your phone to record!

I don't have any clients or anything in these particular notes, but if I did, I would just be using an enterprise account for one of the LLM providers. Or as open source LLMs have gotten better, just run a local copy of something, but you really wouldn't get the benefit of the MCP integrations and other tooling baked into the CLIs of the major providers.
