I would have killed for this back in 2022.

I take all of my notes on ChatGPT now, and for more structured data I have built specialized tools/agents, and even small front ends like for my portfolio management track.

It’s crazy how different my world used to be back then; note apps feel so primitive now.



I'm sorry, are you saying that you sent all your notes to ChatGPT as prompts? How do you recall or get your notes back?


For example I have a thread for engineer status updates. I get the call transcripts from an internal app my company developed and I push everything into ChatGPT. When I need to recall something, I just ask ChatGPT. It is much better than indexed search.

If I need to just write and don’t want feedback, i tell ChatGPT to not reply until I say so, and I will just write in the most lazy and disparaged way, a true brain dump, When I am ready, ChatGPT will sort out my thoughts.

If conversations get too large I summarize everything that’s important and migrate to another conversation.


This is the most alien (to me) workflow that I have ever read in HN. And that includes emacs.

I can't even imagine what this even means.


I’m also interested in what you mean of how you get your notes back. Sounds interesting.
