Turn my podcast walks into wiki notes and a quiz

A developer built Idea Leash on an AI profile running locally on his Mac: he sends a podcast link by Telegram before a walk, and the agent transcribes it, writes notes into his markdown wiki and prepares a five-question quiz. After four real walks it had logged 7.66 km, nine voice ideas and sent after-walk summaries with web searches for ideas he dictated.

How it works

  1. Send episode link in Telegram
  2. Agent fetches and transcribes audio locally
  3. Writes notes into markdown wiki
  4. Generates a five-question quiz with quotes checked against the transcript
  5. Records walk route and voice ideas
  6. Transcribes voice notes
  7. Runs web searches for ideas starting with a search phrase
  8. Sends after-walk Telegram summary
  9. Delivers and grades the quiz in Telegram

Why it’s worth knowing
