Over the past couple of weeks, I spent some time pulling all of my notes from various sources, converting them to Markdown (if not already) and then using Claude Cowork to clean up and organize these notes. I removed duplicates, updated metadata, fixed links, and applied an assortment of other fixes. Claude Cowork made the process quite simple.

While I still have a local copy in Markdown, I did import all of these notes into Apple Notes. Now they're all accessible through search or even by Siri AI, which has been quite handy!

Over the past couple of weeks, I've dabbled with Claude Code and Claude Cowork to see what it's all about. I love tinkering with technology, after all.

Claude Cowork is essentially a less technical way to do the same thing Claude Code can do. It can be used to manipulate files in specified folders as well as connect to the many online services you may have. You can then automate tasks, do research, clean up files, create or manage notes, and the list goes on.

I've been seeing many posts and videos talking about using Claude Code to manage their local Obsidian vaults.

I played around with this and found it potentially very valuable for someone (like me) who enjoys making notes but doesn't enjoy the organization of said notes. Or for processing meeting notes and other work-related data and acting as a project manager assistant that handles all the grunt work I would rather not do myself.

Introducing Kagi Assistants | Kagi Blog

Kagi’s Research Assistant happened to top a popular benchmark (SimpleQA) when we ran it in August 2025. This was a happy accident. We’re building our research assistants to be useful products, not maximize benchmark scores.

I continue to be more impressed by Kagi Assistant as I use it. While not a full replacement for something like ChatGPT or Gemini, it certainly gets the job done. I think the results are drastically better simply because Kagi provides cleaner, more relevant search results.

AI language models are quickly becoming a key part of knowledge work. They handle many of our administrative tasks, allowing us to focus on the unique work that adds real value.

Microsoft is leading this shift, and many companies now treat AI agents like regular employees, giving them their security, management, and job roles.¹ Experts predict there will be 1.3 billion AI agents by 2028. ²

Just for fun, I created a Google NotebookLM notebook and set this site as its only source. I then listened to the podcast Deep Dive. The results were quite interesting.

One of the main discussion points was how “the author”—me—seems obsessed with finding the “best” app, constantly switching between blog hosting platforms, browsers, notebooks, e-ink devices, etc.

Yeah, already knew I had a problem. But I'd argue it's not always about finding the best app or hardware but rather about satisfying my curiosity. I enjoy tinkering.

It was weird listening to two podcast “hosts” talking about the content of my site and making connections between my posts. I actually found it quite helpful. It walked through my posts about the various e-ink tablets I've tried over time, among many other fascinating connections.
