Ramble into a mic, and Claude Code turns it into an organised vault
Onboarding onto a new project means a stream of unstructured thoughts. They dictate them, and Claude Code tags and links everything in Obsidian. Weeks later, "What did I do yesterday?" just works.

“Claude takes care of organizing it: generating #tags, creating [[links]], and making things retrievable later.”

What they did
Uses SuperWhisper for voice dictation and chats casually with Claude Code, started in their Obsidian vault folder. While onboarding onto a new project, they jot down whatever comes to mind in plain language with no structure, and Claude organises it: generating tags, creating links and making things retrievable.
How it went
After a couple of weeks they can ask questions like “What did I do yesterday?”, “Who is John Doe?” or “Which project uses Java version 21?”
Try it yourself with Claude Code
You're working inside my notes vault at [path]. When I dictate a thought, save it as a dated note, add tags for people, projects and topics, link it to related existing notes, and update any person or project page it mentions. When I ask a question like "what did I do yesterday?", answer from the notes and cite them.

WhatsApp has no native way to schedule messages, and the writer didn't want third-party apps in their chats. Claude Code built a scheduler using a headless browser, and a recurring message now goes out every morning.
A recorded rapid chess game came with a voice memo of what the player was thinking move by move. Claude drove Stockfish to question each thought and built a narrated video explaining the mistakes.
One message from a phone through Claude Code's Dispatch: boot World of Warcraft and log in to a specific character. Claude Code opened Battle.net, launched the game, waited out the login and picked the character.
They never had the time or energy for the backlog. Claude Code writes small, deterministic programs that do the work, and most of the scripts they'd wanted for years now exist.
Always-on agents are overkill for a schedule. Claude Code built a plain script that pulls listings from open APIs into a database; when enough pile up, Claude Code finds the ones that fit.
