The problem it solves

You run automations that produce useful information, but the results stay trapped in a dashboard instead of your notes. You end up manually copying and pasting content into Obsidian to keep it organized.

Who it fits

Knowledge workers and researchers who keep notes in Obsidian and want automated content to land there directly.

How it works

  1. An automation produces some output, such as an article summary or transcript
  2. AI formats the content into a Markdown note, with tags and structure you choose
  3. The note is saved to a Google Drive folder
  4. That folder syncs directly into your Obsidian vault
What you get

Notes that land in your vault without copying

Your automation outputs get saved as neatly formatted notes directly in your Obsidian vault, ready to browse anytime.

What you get

A formatted Markdown note automatically added to your Obsidian vault.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an Obsidian vault synced to that Drive folder, and an OpenAI account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
