Ask HN: Anyone using Cursor/Claude Code for non-coding workflows?
6 comments
100% I drive a shell all day long, there’s no reason to drop to a browser to copy and paste.
Just create new folder, init, start the conversation and have it take notes/write docs. It’s a splendid way to work.
Plus if you name the folder something meaningful you can always go back without needing to scroll through vaguely named chat conversations
I am using Claude code to manage my obsidian vault. It is easier because my notes generally break down over time as I’m less motivated to organize new ideas. I use voice to text in the terminal to say things like “add this task to this project” or copy paste in pictures of my hand written meeting notes.
Which voice to text tool are you using?
Just the native voice to text built into macos - although I've heard there are better commercial solutions
I've been using it to claude and continue (I work here) to manage issues and projects. Just started playing around with managing notion docs from the command line.
My understanding is that the whole company behind Claude uses it, legal, marketing, every role makes use of it, not just coding.
Has anyone here used these agents purely as general-purpose operators, e.g. for writing, research automation, bulk file/knowledge base refactoring, inbox processing, shell task orchestration, etc.?
