How I use the Claude desktop app with Linear App.
A screenshot essay titled 'The power of MCP on the desktop' discussing the author's use of the Claude desktop app on a Mac for project management with Linear App. The text highlights the integration of these tools for efficient workflows, including the creation of a specific project in Claude Desktop with instructions for managing the Linear workspace. The essay mentions functions like asking Claude to flag issues that lack descriptions, estimate timelines, amend existing issues, and add new ones. The author emphasizes that, despite these tools, actual work still requires effort and cannot be shortcut.

The way I use Ollama LLMs on my iPhone
Screenshot essay titled '73GB LLMs on iPhone' discussing how to run private AI models on an iPhone using a 3-tool setup. The text highlights the need for accessing custom AI models away from a computer, emphasizing the benefits of using Ollama on a Mac for local model running, Tailscale for a private network tunnel, and the LLM Bridge app for mobile connectivity. It includes an icon of a computer next to Ollama, a link icon next to Tailscale, and a mobile phone icon next to the LLM Bridge app. The essay explains how enabling 'Expose Ollama to Network' transforms an iPhone into a gateway for AI research, with a focus on privacy, mobility, and customization. A link to the LLM Bridge app on the Apple website is also provided.

#Cursor Web Agent for #coding.
A screenshot essay titled 'Why Cursor Web Agent Redefines Mobile GitHub Workflows' discusses the author's experience using the Cursor Web Agent app. The text describes tasks related to coding that can be done easily without assistance. The author shares a specific morning task where they used the Cursor app on their phone to rename a function, update documentation, and create a pull request, which they later reviewed on their desktop. The essay highlights the asynchronous design of Cursor Web Agent, which allows for background operation without constant interaction, and its simplicity and effectiveness in handling tasks with minimal instructions. The author is in the early stages of exploring the tool.

How I use #LLMs to tap into my #Zotero database of papers, academic or otherwise.
A screenshot essay titled 'Your Zotero Library Just Got Superpowers' discusses the transformation of Zotero into an AI-powered research tool. The author describes eliminating the burden of reading numerous PDFs by analyzing an entire library in minutes with AI models like Claude, GPT-4, and local Llama models. They explain how the system integrates with Zotero's database, utilizing existing tags as search filters and maintaining citekeys while linking with Obsidian notes. The author shares their experience using the tool to analyze podcast transcripts, focusing on extracting actionable insights such as trading strategies. The piece emphasizes the potential of AI to enhance knowledge work, positioning the Zotero library as a personal research engine rather than mere storage. The author hints at a more detailed Medium post to come.

#Tools I'm considering: #Ulysses for writing. Like many advanced tools, it has a learning curve. Its Markdown-based, distraction-free writing environment is very appealing.

#obsidian is my go-to #PKM tool due to its potent simplicity. Pair it with desktop #claude and #MCP integration, and you're off to the races. I'll write a Medium article on this, including how to use Langchain for even more powerful workflows.
