Building with AI, on the side.
Notes on what I build with AI around a full-time job: a second brain, a personal assistant, small apps. Written up in enough detail to follow along and build your own.
How I built a second brain with Claude and Obsidian
A plain-text knowledge base that an AI can actually read, write to, and reason over. The setup I use, and what I'd do differently.
The second brain build guide: prerequisites, skills, and the exact commands
The hands-on companion to the second brain essay. What to install, how Claude commands work, the two commands I use (copy-paste ready), and how to keep the vault from rotting.
Jarvis: a personal AI assistant for tasks, calendar, and people
How I wired Claude, Telegram, and a workflow engine into an assistant that manages my to-dos, my calendar, and my relationships, and the design decisions that made it reliable.
