A week of Obsidian notes in, a formatted company update out, in 10 minutes

Their company wants a weekly update in a strict template. A custom GPT turns the week's Obsidian notes into it, and 10 minutes of cleanup saves them a couple of hours, even as an LLM-writing skeptic.

Even an LLM-writing skeptic makes an exception
“I'm generally allergic to having an LLM write for me, but seeing as it _must_ be in the requested template and ChatGPT saves me a couple of hours, I let this case slide.”

What they did

Their company requires weekly updates in a specific format. They take notes throughout the week in Obsidian’s periodic weekly notes, then send them all to a custom GPT that writes the update in the template.

How it went

They spend about 10 minutes cleaning it up. Normally allergic to having an LLM write for them, they make an exception because ChatGPT saves them a couple of hours.

Try it yourself with ChatGPT
Here are my notes from this week: [paste]. Write my weekly update in exactly this template: [paste template]. Group items under the right headings, keep each bullet to one line, lead with outcomes rather than activity, and flag anything in my notes that looks like a risk or a blocker. Don't invent anything that isn't in the notes.
