Organize your Obsidian notes with AI

Inspired by Jason Cyr.

Obsidian AI Tutorial: Automate note-taking with AI agents. Complete setup guide for Apple Notes migration to Obsidian + Cursor AI integration.

The Problem: I was drowning in thousands of scattered Apple Notes, spending every weekend organizing instead of creating.

The Solution: I discovered how to build an AI agent that manages my entire knowledge system automatically.

In this video, I’ll show you exactly how I:

→ Exported all my Apple Notes to Obsidian in one click

→ Used AI to organize 2,000+ notes in under 30 seconds

→ Created 847 new connections I never would have found

→ Built an agent that files notes and drafts my weekly status

→ Got my Sundays (and sanity) back

Prompts used:

You're my knowledge management assistant. 
Please analyze my Obsidian Vault structure and note-taking patterns. 
Tell me what you observe about how I organize information.

Base on the PARA method, suggest where each unfiled notes should go.  
Consider:  
- Projects = active, has an end date  
- Areas = ongoing responsibilities  
- Resources = future reference  
- Archive = no longer active  
Show me your reasoning before taking action.

Find all potential connections between notes. 
Create bidirectional links using [[Note Name]] format. 
Focus on conceptual connections, not just keyword matches.
