I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes because everything lives in a simple yml file.

It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your clipboard, so that can be incorporated into responses, which is simple but very handy.

A simple text replacement looks like this in the yml file: - trigger: ":espanso" replace: "Hi there!"

But it can even work with a shell, which I think is amazing! For example, I have a particular task at work where I often need to insert a random number into a text document. I can have Espano run PowerShell behind the scenes to run a simple PowerShell command, and that looks something like:

  - trigger: ";rand"
    replace: " {{output}}"
    vars:
      - name: output
        type: shell
        params:
          cmd: "Get-Random -Minimum 100000"
          shell: powershell

I thought that Microsoft was busy with enterprises yet OpenAI announces a product for enterprises. I have a feeling that the two do not get along

If Obsidian stops acheong08, I'm done with Obsidian.

I want a durable way to edit, sync, and preserve my notes, not just a pretty interface.

I'm happy to pay Obsidian for sync, but if they PM this to only one distribution channel and subsequently enshittify it, I don't want it. Stopping acheong08 would be a bad signal forewarning what's to come.

“Summarize this YouTube video” (given a link) is what I’d like to see and Google could easily do when there’s a transcript, but they’d probably rather make people watch the video.

I think Kagi might do this? Any other good solutions?
