Video Description

Using AI with Obsidian can be a slippery slope. Here's my workflow for Obsidian + AI (using Claude): Do You Know Your Thinking Type? Take the free quiz: https://www.linkingyourthinking.com/join/assessment-welcome?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=using_obsidian_ai-wrong In this video we combine Obsidian with AI. I introduce my IDI Framework for protecting you from the downsides of AI (while benefitting from its upsides). We walk through how I'm using Claude Code to combine with Obsidian to 10X the power of my notes (while maintaining my privacy). And how Obsidian is integrating AI (or not) as Obsidian's CEO weighs in on Obsidian's future with AI. πŸ“ DISCOVER YOUR THINKING TYPE: https://www.linkingyourthinking.com/join/assessment-welcome?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=using_obsidian_ai-wrong 🌌 GET MY PRO OBSIDIAN SETUP: https://www.linkingyourthinking.com/ideaverse-pro?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=using_obsidian_ai-wrong 🌱 GET MY BEGINNER OBSIDIAN SETUP: https://start.linkingyourthinking.com/ideaverse-for-obsidian?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=using_obsidian_ai-wrong πŸš€ LEARN OBSIDIAN BASICS: https://www.linkingyourthinking.com/obsidian-flight-school?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=using_obsidian_ai-wrong πŸ”† GET MY BEST IDEAS WEEKLY: https://www.linkingyourthinking.com/newsletter/yt?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=using_obsidian_ai-wrong πŸ“ DOWNLOAD OBSIDIAN: https://obsidian.md/ INTERVIEWS WITH KEPANO Decoder with Nilay Patel - How the head of Obsidian went from superfan to CEO (Verge): https://www.theverge.com/decoder-podcast-with-nilay-patel/760522/obsidian-ceo-steph-ango-kepano-productivity-software-notes-app @Dialectic Dialectic Podcast with Jackson Dahl: https://youtu.be/TDP8qzVK5XQ 00:00 - You’re Using Obsidian + AI Wrong 01:41 My AI Framework (IDI Method) 02:51 Your AI Defense Zone 04:09 Obsidian + AI (My Setup) 05:32 Technique 1: Using AI to Reflect Back by Thoughts 07:36 Technique 2: Using AI to Do Deep Research 08:39 Technique 3: Using AI to Add Data to My Notes 10:11 Obsidian CEO: Our Plans for AI 11:33 Discover Your Thinking Type (4 Archetypes) πŸ”– TAGS: #Obsidian #obsidianapp #Obsidiannotetakingapp #LinkingYourThinking #claude #claudecode #ai #notes
