      "content_html": "\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eI like to maintain my own personal set of Markdown notes for work. The act of typing ideas and information helps me process them mentally. I tend to organise my notes as a series of daily notes with links to longer-lived reference notes for concepts or projects.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI switched from \u003ca href=\"https://noteplan.co/\"\u003eNotePlan\u003c/a\u003e to \u003ca href=\"https://obsidian.md/\"\u003eObsidian\u003c/a\u003e as a veneer over the Markdown files a while back. I didn\u0026rsquo;t have a need for NotePlan\u0026rsquo;s task management infrastructure. Obsidian is free and has loads of plugins if you want to cut loose on extending it.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI recently started a new job, which meant creating a brand-new vault, and I felt like giving the \u003ca href=\"https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f\"\u003eLLM Wiki\u003c/a\u003e approach a crack. Ultimately, having a robot do all the wiki bookkeeping for me feels like a worthwhile experiment.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall workflow is simple: I write in my daily note throughout the day, and I ask an LLM to process it at the end of the day. The LLM fetches relevant meeting transcripts and whatever else it can find by following links in my daily note. It then links everything together in long-lived notes covering projects, domain concepts, people I work with, and anything else it decides to maintain.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI also maintain a file called \u003ccode\u003ebig-picture.md\u003c/code\u003e, which outlines the main open loops on my mind from week to week. The LLM doesn’t edit the main part of this file, though it can add reference information to a dedicated section at the bottom.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vault is a Git repository, so both the LLM and I can use its version history to see how things have evolved over time.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI can search the long-lived notes in Obsidian to get an up-to-date view of each project, person, or concept, along with related information from linked notes.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a bonus, during my end-of-week review, I ask the LLM to summarise my week, including which tasks or open loops I’ve moved forward or closed, and which new ones I’ve created. This helps me set my goals for the following week. I put these reflections and goals in a weekly note.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat\u0026rsquo;s pretty much it. I\u0026rsquo;ve found the reduction in bookkeeping valuable so far. I\u0026rsquo;ll see how well it scales over time.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"/images/work-wiki-vault.png\"\n\t\t\talt=\"Folder and file structure of my Obsidian work vault\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ch4\u003eThe layout of my work wiki\u003c/h4\u003e\n\t\t\u003c/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c/figure\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for plugins, I try to use as few as possible.

But at the gym, it makes no sense for that robot to lift weights for you. The point of weightlifting isn’t to move heavy things across the room; it’s to actually lift those heavy things. The same analysis holds for any task an AI can do for you. If it’s work – if the task has to be done and no one cares how – then it’s fine to use AI assistance. But if the task is more like the gym, and how the task is done is at least as important, then it probably doesn’t make sense to use AI.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/blockquote\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \n    \u003ca href=\"https://www.grizzlebit.com/links/2026/08-07-should-you-use-ai-for-a-task/\"\u003e↬\u003c/a\u003e\n     ∙ Tagged in \u003ca href=\"https://www.grizzlebit.com/tags/ai/\"\u003eAI\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n",
