# The AI stack I developed to help me context switch

**[thoughbot](https://daily.dev/sources/thoughbot)** · 5 min read · 78 upvotes · 4 comments

## Summary

A product manager shares a personal AI-powered workflow for managing context switching across multiple projects. The system combines three tools: Gemini Meeting Notes for automatic meeting capture, Obsidian as a local markdown knowledge base, and Claude Projects for AI-assisted context retrieval. A key element is a master index file called HIVEMIND.md that instructs Claude to load only relevant project files, keeping sessions lean. An MCP plugin connects Obsidian to Claude Desktop, while a daily automated job pulls Gemini notes into Obsidian. The advice is to adopt the stack incrementally, starting with whichever problem is most pressing.
