I use GitHub Copilot CLI a little differently to most people; it basically acts as my professional admin tool connected with Obsidian. I’ve tried to describe it on my blog. It is a WIP but loving the power & flexibility.

Oh don't mind me, I am just building my own group of coaches in GitHub Copilot CLI... they'll use my notes and interactions in Obsidian and Work IQ to synthesise guidance on where I'm spending my time and my performance to help my own thinking. I'm loving how powerful this stuff is!

You know what’s cool?

Using GitHub Copilot CLI to help me organise and analyse my Obsidian vault.

Or using GHCP + the Microsoft Learn MCP to research and answer a question from a Partner and help me draft an email.

At 38,000ft. 🤯

You know what’s not cool?

Reclining your seat in an exit row.

18-year old car passed its MOT today, only a couple of advisories. I can breathe a sigh of (financial) relief.

Until next year.

I managed to get a cheap upgrade to First Class on my train though, so that’s a win. Who knew a decent table with some elbow room helps you get stuff done?

I'm actually quite pleased with how it works, using different AI models for different aspects of the task (titles, research, writing, etc.).

I've built a multi-agent blog writing assistant in n8n (yes, I can and should do it in Foundry...). If I 'co-write' with my AI assistant, should I call that out explicitly in the post?

Posted a story to Viva Engage today, like some kind of internal influencer. I actually quite like it, except that I'm not sure anybody will see it!

Did this a while back. So much quicker and easier to manage. Also performance is way better. Plus it forces me to keep learning.

I’ve been using Midjourney for a little bit, but this is a bit of a game changer. Need to do some more experimenting!
