my obsidian remembers everything i write. but what about everything that happens in meetings?

i use obsidian as my second brain, and recently i’ve been using claude code with it more and more.

most of my useful knowledge slowly ends up inside the vault.

but meetings are still kind of outside the system.

a meeting happens → notes or transcript goes into some other app → a few weeks later i remember:

“wait… what did we actually decide?”

then the real problem starts.

which meeting was it?
which app has the notes?
did i write anything down?
was it in granola, fireflies, otter, slack…?

and if i want the important part inside obsidian, it usually becomes manual copy-paste.

how are you handling this?

do you:

  • write meeting notes directly in obsidian?
  • use granola/fireflies/otter and leave everything there?
  • record and transcribe meetings locally?
  • manually move only the important decisions into your vault?
  • or just accept that meetings live outside your second brain?

especially curious about this:

when you suddenly remember that something important was discussed a few weeks ago, how do you actually find what was decided?

I launched my SaaS today even though I know it still needs work.

WhisperBrain is a local-first meeting notetaker that turns meetings into transcripts, summaries and decisions and saves them into Obsidian.

But honestly, the UI still needs polishing. There are UX decisions I want to rethink. I’m optimizing parts of the app and there are features I still want to add.

A few weeks ago, that would've been my reason to delay launching.

Now I think differently.

You can always find another reason your product isn't ready.

So I'm trying:

launch → get real feedback → improve → launch again

I'd rather discover what actually sucks from people using it than spend another month fixing things nobody cared about.

So this is WhisperBrain v1.

Not perfect. Not finished. But shipped.

It's on Product Hunt today. If you like what I'm building, I'd really appreciate the support.

And if you try it and something sucks, tell me that too. That's probably more useful :)

I think I’ve been using Obsidian wrong for years.

My vault has 1000s of notes.

But yesterday I realized something slightly stupid:

It remembers every article I saved in 2024…

but not the meeting where we decided what to actually build.

So I connected WhisperBrain to my Obsidian vault.

And this is where it got weird.

I can now come back weeks later and find:

what we decided → who said what → why we decided it → when we changed our mind

without remembering to take the note myself.

That last part is what got me.

Because every “second brain” I've built had the same dependency:

me.

I had to remember to capture something before my second brain could remember it.

Now I finish a meeting and the useful parts are just… in my vault.

I've only been playing with whisperbrain.app for a bit, but this feels much closer to what I originally imagined when I heard the words “second brain.”

Curious if anyone here has gone further with this — automatically feeding conversations/life into Obsidian instead of manually capturing everything?

You have 5 seconds. Tell me what you think I built.

Seriously.

Don't zoom in.

Don't carefully read every word.

5 seconds.

That's probably more attention than a stranger will give my landing page anyway.

I'm building WhisperBrain and I'm getting dangerously close to launch.

I've stared at this page for so many hours that I'm probably the worst person alive to judge whether it makes sense anymore.

So I need people who know absolutely nothing about it.

Look at the screenshot.

Then answer just two things:

What do you think it does?

Would you scroll?

Don't be nice. If you think it's confusing, tell me.

I'll post what I change based on the comments.

Do you actually remember why you made a decision 3 months after the meeting?

Something happened at work that made me realize how useless most of my meeting notes are.

We were discussing an old decision.

Everyone remembered what we decided.

Nobody remembered why.

So naturally...

we had another meeting.

I went through the old meeting notes.

There was a transcript.

There was a beautiful AI summary.

There were action items.

But the one thing I actually needed wasn't obvious:

Why did we make this decision?

That got me thinking.

Maybe we've solved the wrong problem with AI meeting tools.

Transcription is basically solved.

Summaries are getting commoditized.

But six months later, I don't want a summary of a 47-minute conversation.

I want to ask:

What did we decide?

Why?

Who was involved?

What changed since then?

I'm curious how other people deal with this.

Do you actually revisit old meeting notes?

Or do your meeting notes become a graveyard nobody opens again?

I built my own startup to fix AI, ML , LLM Finetuning, Training, etc.

GPU is $1.5/hr

but your real bill is:

-idle time: $800/mo wasted
-infra team: $3,000/mo
-failed setups: days lost
-3am fixes: priceless

crunr cuts all of it
$ crunr run train.py --gpu

spins up → runs → terminates

pay for compute only. nothing else.
Its free
