Where AI Ends and I Begin
I've been working through where I should hand off to AI versus where I need to stay directly involved—especially in my personal knowledge management. I use Obsidian as my knowledge hub (local markdown notes with links) and Claude Code as my primary agent interface, alongside Notion as an operational hub for tasks/projects. I deliberately keep Claude's access session-based (not always-on) and set boundaries: AI can help organize, search, and triage notes, but it cannot create or modify my "permanent notes," which must be written in my own voice to preserve real understanding. I also experiment with disposable, AI-generated Obsidian vaults for exploratory research (e.g., mapping an industry or concept graph), then selectively turn what I learn into my own fleeting/reference/permanent notes.
