It goes public on YouTube later. What is the first job you would hand over to your assistant? Tell me in the comments.

I'll build the whole hour around whichever topic wins this poll, so vote for the one you'll show up for. 1. Building an AI assistant (life manager) with Claude and Obsidian. Your notes as the brain, Claude Code as the AI, your email and calendar as the inputs. Short version here: https://youtube.com/shorts/U6nNviBL228 2. A look at task management in Obsidian: simple, advanced (TaskNotes), agentic (Claude Code and TaskNotes). 3. How to manage your finances in Obsidian. 4. A theory and structure recap: areas, hubs, projects. 5. For the content creators: how I built an AI video editing pipeline. From a raw recording to a finished edit: it cuts the fillers and dead air, then adds the animations, transitions, audio, graphs and diagrams.
