MMF AI Course
A short, practical walkthrough of how Simon uses AI day-to-day for research, writing, transcription, and keeping project notes up to date. The whole setup is built around two free apps: Claude Code (the AI assistant) and Obsidian (a place for your notes). You write notes in Obsidian; the AI can read and edit them in the same folder.
Two pages live for now. More will land here as Simon adds them — if there's a specific area you want next (transcription, scientific writing, citation checking, research, etc.) just ask him and he'll prioritise that one.
-
1 · Install the software you'll need
Two free apps, about ten minutes. Claude Desktop (the AI) and Obsidian (your notes), both running on your computer.
-
2 · Record & transcribe meetings
Why it's worth doing, how to record from any setup (Zoom, online calls, in-person), and how to turn an audio file into a clean transcript with one command.
Tip — once Claude Code is installed, you don't have to read these pages in a browser. Paste the URL of any page on this site into Claude Code on your computer and say "walk me through this." The AI reads the page, adapts the steps to your setup (including Windows or Linux), and walks you through it interactively. That's the recommended way to use this course.
Deeper material — letting Claude remember things across sessions, reusable shortcuts for tasks you do often, automating the boring bits — lives in the full source at github.com/marinemegafauna/mmf-claude-code. The pages here are the on-ramp; ping Simon when you're ready to go further.
