Obsidian use cases

Knowledge ManagementResearch & Analysis+1

Built a personalized Claude Code system for task management, automated academic research, and modular context files that make AI collaboration easier with shorter, simpler prompts.

Outcome: Turns Claude Code into a personal operating layer for knowledge work: daily tasks are generated from Markdown files, research appears as a digest, papers are summarized automatically, and context files help Claude give better feedback without long prompts.

Knowledge ManagementPersonal Productivity

Uses Claude Code inside Obsidian as a second brain, giving AI access to roughly 1,500 notes so it can retrieve old research, organize ideas, support deep work, and help him resume thinking after interruptions.

Outcome: Turns a personal note archive into an active research partner. Instead of manually searching old notes or rebuilding context after a break, Noah can ask Claude Code to find relevant material, organize it into project folders, ask clarifying questions, and help him pick up where he left off.

Company AI AdoptionBusiness Operations

Built a company-wide AI adoption system at Delight.ai with an internal automation marketplace, gamified quests, AI usage tiers, secure app templates, and personal knowledge workflows like The Gardener.

Outcome: Turns AI adoption from a top-down mandate into an internal product. Employees can request automations, team up to build them, earn rewards, ship on secure templates, and see a clear path from beginner to advanced AI use.

Life SystemsPersonal Productivity

Runs a personal life-automation system from Claude Code, using terminal workflows, iPhone Shortcuts, Obsidian, and Cursor to plan her day, capture tasks, manage preferences, automate returns, and create anonymized demos.

Outcome: Turns scattered life admin into small, personal tools that fit the way she already works. Instead of adopting a rigid productivity system, Hilary uses Claude Code to build lightweight workflows around her real routines.
