[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Here's how to use your Obsidian notes with Claude. First, create a vault in Obsidian and add some notes. Next, in Claude, switch to Cowork and point it at your Obsidian vault on your PC. Now, you can ask questions about all of the information in your vault. Claude searches through your notes and gives you an answer in just seconds. You can also have Claude create a brand new note for you and it'll automatically appear in Obsidian. To make it even more powerful, connect Zapier to Claude. That gives Claude access to over 9,000 apps. Now, I can have Claude search my Gmail for customer feedback, summarize it, and add it as a new note in Obsidian, all from a single prompt. If you wanna learn how to set everything up, check out my full Obsidian tutorial on my YouTube channel.
