Happy Easter!
We’ve got a lot to cover this week, so I’m not going to beat around the bush. Let’s get started with the new offer that I’m publishing (which I’m really excited about!)…
Custom AI agent in your Obsidian vault
So I’ve been building a lot with Claude Code and Obsidian, and I was wondering whether it would be useful if I could do it for others.
I find myself in a position where I can nerd out over note-taking and how best to integrate AI into the process, but I understand that you might not be able to put time aside for the same.
That’s what this offer is for - we talk about how you take notes, what you do for work and other knowledge management, and what other third-party tools you use extensively.
Then we part, I do the heavy operation, thinking, experimenting, and deciding how you’re best going to be elevated by the Claude Code x Obsidian combo (which is now extremely powerful).
Then we come together, implement, and then you go away, use this system and iterate on it, keeping me at your shoulder to guide you in the right direction as and when you need.
It’s a new offer, and so we’re doing heavy discounts for the first people to take advantage of it. Basic pricing starts from $675, for the first three people I work with…
PARAZETTEL.com/ai is where you can book a no-commitment, free chat with me so I can learn more about your life as it relates to knowledge management.
After this we’re going to be starting from $1,000 for the most basic version of the offer, with add-ons for knowledge businesses, extended support after the fact, and more.
In fact, a lot of my content this week has been about this AI x PKM combination…
A flurry of new content…
We have two new videos, and two new articles as well. Here’s the standout from the four…
The TL;DR of Claude Code Inside Obsidian
If you've not been keeping up with the jumble of noise...
If you’re feeling behind with the whole Obsidian and Claude thing, there’s no reason to worry.
Like any new shiny object, there’s a lot of time-wasting around making your configuration too complex, and too high-maintenance.
In this piece, I talk about the standout things that the combination is useful for, as well as giving you examples about how I’m using them currently (you can also go to the new AI offer’s page to learn more about this!).
This video is me tasting the newer generation of plugins that are becoming popular in Obsidian.
I’ve not tried many of these, considering part of my brand of note-taking is based around the word ‘Minimal’, but I thought it might be worth seeing what all the fuss is about.
Using Obsidian to Build a Software Startup
Lessons from founding ProseLab with my friend...
This article’s the story of ProseLab, told from a personal knowledge management perspective.
I mention how I’ve been keeping important context and notes inside my vault, alongside all my other personal and PARAZETTEL stuff, as well as how it’s resurfaced in a timely fashion to help me create and answer questions for this new business.
In this one, I talk you through the skills you can see on the front of the new AI-offer page that I demonstrate as examples.
They include setting myself up for the day (as well as closing the session once I’m done working), as well as managing members in the Community and email list, and generating new ideas for content, as well as their outlines.
And aside from that, a personal update…
Personal progress tracking (building in public)
Now that I’ve come back home and have decidedly fewer things on my mind, I’ve started to record little clips of thoughts that I’m having, plus progress and things like that.
These little insights used to be shared on a publication called Fundamentalised, which started off as a Beehiiv newsletter back in the middle of 2023, and then transitioned to Substack, ConvertKit, back to Substack, and then died to transition to personal writing shared on my website tstowx.com and through Buttondown, and has now reincarnated as a Substack once again (to work alongside ProseLab’s publication there).
Right now I’m sharing very off-the-cuff insights, through text and video, as well as some photos and other creative work.
Check it out - https://tstowx.substack.com. I’m going to publish something soon about the hate I have for the constant skipping around that I described in the previous paragraph. I’d rather stick to what I know works, and let compound interest build something valuable.
Subscribe if you want to hear my thoughts on this and beyond!
See you next week,
