ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Earlier this year I said AI will kill PKM tools like Tana, Heptabase and Notion. Back then it still took me a lot of vibe coding. Today it is easy, fast and cheap.
The first prompt asked Sonnet 5.5 in Claude Code for a hybrid: the outlining of Tana, the local Markdown files of Obsidian, and data views on an Airtable level. No skills, no plugins, no instruction files. In less than 30 minutes I had app 1, with linked mentions, database views, a Kanban board and a daily note.
The second prompt was the moonshot. Over the years I built a whole suite of Obsidian plugins to bend Obsidian to my liking. I told Sonnet to study those plugins and our ICOR for Life folder structure, and to build the app those plugins were trying to be. App 2 is a native Mac app with a menu bar quick capture, tasks, My Life as an interactive map, a weekly planner, and the AI team built in, answering on my real data.
Two prompts, no iteration, all done within one hour.
