i'm obsessed with AI DIY projects

my favorite one right now is this guy who built an AI system that listens for birds outside his apartment, figures out what species they are, and paints them on his wall.

here's how the whole thing works:

1. a cheap usb mic on his balcony listens for birdsong 24/7

2. BirdNET, Cornell's AI model trained on 6,000+ species, names each bird species from the sound alone (no camera needed)

3. every time it hears one, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image paints that exact bird in the style of an Edo-period japanese woodblock print

4. the new painting drops into a live collage of everything that's been singing outside in the last 24 hours

5. and it all shows up on a framed e-ink display on his wall that reads "heard today" like a little museum placard for his neighborhood

knowing which birds visit you used to take a field guide, a trained ear, plus years of patient practice.

teddy just glances at the frame on his wall and sees the cardinal came back this morning

honestly i'm highly tempted to build one myself haha

Google CEO, Sundar Pichai:

"If you don't learn to how to orchestrate agents now, you'll spend 2027 catching up to people who started today"

In 30 minutes he explains why the best engineers stopped writing code and started running agents.

THE 1-HOUR OBSIDIAN LECTURE THAT CHANGES HOW YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR VAULT

> Nick Milo breaks down Obsidian Bases

> the feature that finally makes Obsidian a real database, not just a folder of markdown files

> save this. watch it before you set up your vault👇

[Corey Ganim @coreyganim]

Love this system. Here’s the full checklist so you can easily implement today:

1. Create your knowledge base (30 min)

Create these starter files:
- `company-overview. md` - revenue model, margins, key metrics
- `team. md` - org chart, roles, who owns what
- `clients. md` - top 10 clients, contract terms, renewal dates
- `processes. md` - sales flow, onboarding, fulfillment
- `voice. md` - how you write, tone, phrases you use

2. Install Obsidian (5 min)

- Download from obsidian. md (free)
- Open as vault: ~/business-brain
- Start linking files with [[wikilinks]]

3. Connect Claude Code (10 min)

If you have Claude Max/Pro: Claude Code reads local files natively

Point it at your vault:
claude --directory ~/business-brain

4. Create your instruction file (15 min)

`CLAUDE. md` in your vault root:

You are my Chief of Staff. Read all .md files in this vault before responding. When I mention a client, pull all linked files. Never ask me to re-explain context that exists here.

5. Test it

Open Claude Code. Ask: "What do you know about [your biggest client]?"

It should pull the full picture without you explaining anything.

60 minutes. Full company context. Every session.

THIS IS HOW YOU COMPRESS 100 HOURS INTO 10 MINUTES

> just tried NotebookLM + Obsidian combo

and honestly… this is insane

> i didn’t expect NotebookLM to be this powerful

the craziest part?

> the "YouTube to NotebookLM" extension

you can literally pull entire channels, dump all videos into NotebookLM and get a structured mega-summary in minutes

> but two features completely blew my mind:

Audio Overviews:
> turns any PDF, report or notes into a podcast-style dialogue between two hosts
> perfect for listening while walking or driving

Book Filter:
> upload your Obsidian knowledge base + a new book
ask: "Is there anything new for me here?"

if the answer is "no" skip it and save dozens of hours

> this feels like compression for knowledge

if you’re serious about learning fast, here’s the stack:

📁 NotebookLM
↳ https://t.co/eUmT4BZFSr

📁 YouTube to NotebookLM Chrome Extension
↳ https://t.co/2ZnZzGcysm

📁 Google Gemini
↳ https://t.co/fzC8ilOacT

this combo + Obsidian vault = unfair advantage

dumps any source > AI strips duplicates > keeps only what u don't know yet

each one repeats the same 20% of information
this bundle removes the other 80%

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

how to use obsidian + claude code to build a 24/7 personal operating system and build your startup:

1. write everything in markdown (daily notes, projects, beliefs, people, meetings)

2. link your notes together so they mirror how your brain actually thinks.

3. install obsidian cli so claude code can read your entire vault + the relationships.

4. stop reexplaining projects every session. use reference files instead.

5. build custom slash commands:

/context → load your full life + work state
/trace → see how an idea evolved over months
/connect → bridge two domains you’ve been circling
/ideas → generate startup ideas from your vault
/graduate → promote daily thoughts into real assets

6. keep a strict rule: human writes the vault. agents read it, suggest, execute.

7. let claude aka clode surface patterns you’ve been unconsciously circling for years.

8. delegate from inside your notes. one sentence in obsidian → agent handles the rest.

9. treat writing as leverage.the more you write, the more context your agents have.

10. understand this:markdown files are the oxygen of llms.

i really enjoyed seeing how to use obsidian thanks to @internetvin

vin uses ai like a thinking partner wired into his life’s work.

99.99% of people won’t do this because it requires reflection + setup.

but once the vault exists, the agent stops being generic.
it starts thinking in your voice.

episode is live on @startupideaspod (more there)

this one is different. send this tweet to a friend.

im still processing how game changer obsidian + claude code is, maybe you too

So, @openclaw can use a computer but lacks physicality…

I’ve been solving that by taking photos of physical things (like books to digest), but what if I gave it access to my 3D printer!?

Going to see what this can do for our homeschool curriculum 📚🤓

Cardiologist wins 3rd place at Anthropic's hackathon. Out of 13,000 applications. Built in 7 days by Michał Nedoszytko MD. Coded day and night - in the hospital, in the cloud, while flying from Brussels to San Francisco.
A few years ago, it would have been impossible for a doctor to build this alone in just a couple of days. AI changed that.

The project is called https://t.co/wAliajqjVF. It is an AI agentic care platform for patients. Including reverse AI scribe it is a companion that guides the patient from the moment they leave the doctor's office.

Powered by the massive context window of Opus 4.6, it allows patients to explore their full medical history, connected devices, Evidence Based resources and external data sources — all in one place.

Today, the barrier to entry has vanished; even a practicing physician can build an application from scratch.

This was a truly mind-blowing, inspiring, and fun conversation!

The opportunity to onboard "normal people" to the latest AI is much bigger than I originally thought.

Honestly, $100k+ per month feels low.

In a high income city, it could be a $10m+ business.

To validate it, I tried to stand up an AI Assistant by myself (as a tech novice). It was painful.

Here's what I did:

0. Phoned a tech friend to get basic steps
1. Bought a Mac Mini
2. Created a Claude Developer Account
3a. Factory reset old iPhone
3b. Created a new phone line for iPhone
4. Created a new email address
5. Created a new iCloud account
6. Used EasyClaw for setup

That took me about six hours, but I had a functional AI assistant by the end of it. It was fun feeling like an idiot. I like being an embarrassing beginner.

A bunch of pain points to solve (for anyone who wants to build in this space):

- I had no idea what I needed. I called a friend and annoyed him for an hour to figure that out in the first place. People don't know what they don't know.

- I don't know what "Terminal" is and had never used it. Running commands there was totally foreign to me and I made dumb mistakes (like thinking it wasn't working because I was typing my password and it wasn't showing).

- I really wanted to understand security and how to keep this new unit completely walled off from my other systems. It took me a while to make sure I was doing all of that properly and how to maintain that integrity going forward.

- I had no understanding of tokens, usage limits, and how to think about that usage going forward.

- Connections and integrations of tools (like iMessage) were not intuitive at all.

- No understanding of best practices for prompting, training, etc. The ongoing improvements would be great as a recurring stream after the initial deployment.

Those are just my initial reactions off the top of my head. I'm sure I'll have more as I continue to play with it.

P.S. We're definitely living in the future. I got my AI Assistant to text my wife that I was coming down for dinner. She rolled her eyes at me when I got downstairs. THE FUTURE PEOPLE!
