AI notes stack
For consultants, creators, or knowledge workers wanting an augmented brain without stacking ChatGPT + Notion AI + Otter + Mem + Raycast Pro in parallel.
The stack map.
A stack is not read tool by tool. It is read as work blocks: produce, validate, deliver, get paid.
Ops & automation
Reduce repetitive tasks without automating too early.
No mandatory core here. These become useful based on your workflow.
Other steps
Useful tools that complete the workflow.
Core: ChatGPT + Otter.ai. Add-ons based on your actual use.
$35/month, when the core stack earns its keep.
Frequently asked questions.
Do you use ChatGPT Projects or Claude Projects for your recurring topics?
No → you re-explain the same context every session. 20 minutes to set up a Project per client or topic = context you build over weeks, not isolated sessions.
Do you have Notion AI active but not use Notion as your main note-taking tool?
Yes → do not pay for an add-on to a tool you rarely open. Notion AI only has value on the notes you actually create there.
Are your Otter transcripts linked to your Notion notes from the same meeting?
No → a simple Make scenario (Otter → Notion) automatically imports the summary and action items into the corresponding page. 10 minutes of setup for a daily gain.
