AI + Obsidian + n8n Workflow for Organizing Study Materials
Hi everyone, following up on the 4/29 call, I wanted to share my project in a bit more detail and get some feedback. I’m building a personal AI system to manage my school/university workflow. The idea is to automatically organize everything I send — files, notes, audio, etc. — and make it usable later through an AI assistant in a RAG-style setup. Long-term goal: turn this into a fully self-organizing knowledge system with an AI assistant on top. Current setup: - Telegram as the input layer - n8n as the automation layer - an AI “distributor” that decides whether to create a new file or update an existing one - Obsidian as the main knowledge structure - Google Drive as the synced storage layer - folder IDs planned to be mapped through a Google Sheet for routing and scalability Simplified vault structure: OS-Data/ Subjects/ # Main subject-based knowledge structure Lit/ # Literature / German language & literature _subject.md # Subject metadata: teacher, grading, requirements, rules 12_H2/ # Grade 12, second semester Assignments/ # Tasks that need to be completed active/ # Open / unfinished assignments done/ # Completed / submitted assignments Materials/ # Teacher materials, PDFs, worksheets, sources Notes/ # Lesson notes, summaries, personal notes Works/ # Student-created work: essays, presentations, projects Exams/ # Actual course exams, corrections, grades, feedback MAT/ # Mathematics Eng/ # English INF/ # Computer Science / Informatik Che/ # Chemistry Pol/ # Politics Spa/ # Spanish Spo/ # Sports Global/ # General context for the AI system Me.md # Personal learning profile / preferences School.md # School context, grading, general rules Writing.md # Writing style rules and expectations Templates/ # Templates for creating new notes/files Assignment.md Work.md Exam.md Note.md Unsorted/ # Fallback area for unclear or unsorted files
