Turn your Obsidian vault into a fully automated operating system using Claude Code and AI agents. In this episode of Tool Use, physicist and AI explorer Artem Zhutov reveals how to leverage coding agents for non-coding workflows to optimize your productivity.

Discover how to build a dynamic "second brain" that acts as a personal coach, automates daily planning, and streamlines job searches—all while keeping your data local. Artem breaks down his unique setup where Claude Code interacts directly with his Obsidian files, running Python scripts and custom slash commands to create reliable, affordable, and powerful automations. From "just-in-time" context loading to instant voice note transcription with WhisperFlow, this conversation covers the cutting edge of personal knowledge management (PKM) and local AI assistance.
