Let me ask a random note-taking question.
I am a heavy user of Roam ( before that workflowy, before that org mode). I have daily checklists, but also some extensive notes on specific topics and some large projects I'm tracking.
But I'm so heavily using LLMs now to help with researching topics. And I haven't found a good way to bring my LLM usage to my note taking.
I'd love to be able to go over some things with an LLM and then tell it to add a summary of this to document X on topic Y.
Does anyone have a workflow that combines LLMs and Deep Research with a note-taking system? I'm wondering about just using Obsidian with Windsurf to make changes to it in an agent type manner.
- dleeftink 2y agoTwo QOL uses I've found is concept indexing and excerpt formatting. Before/after engaging with new material, I'd generate a table of concepts and the pages these concepts are mentioned. Simple two column markdown table, nothing more. Second, for excerpt formatting I use a specific markdown format (add timestamp header, page number, and one/two keywords) to convert my highlights after running through a PDF. A more advanced use case is extracting the bibliography and building an inverted index of where each citation is mentioned (page numbers/paragraphs). You can then compute all sorts of concordances: which authors are referenced on the same page, what concepts are related, which authors/concepts are over/underrepresented, and so on.
- adamgordonbell 2y agoVery cool. What note taking software are you using? Or just text files?
- swah 2y agoDid you try obsidian plugins for this?
