Research Paper → Perplexity Analysis → Obsidian Notes → Anki Cards
Build a personal AI safety knowledge base by analyzing papers with Perplexity, organizing insights in Obsidian, and creating spaced repetition cards in Anki.
Workflow Steps
Zotero
Collect and organize papers
Set up Zotero collections for AI safety topics like alignment, interpretability, and robustness. Use browser extension to save papers with automatic metadata extraction.
Perplexity
Generate research summaries
Upload PDFs to Perplexity and ask specific questions about methodology, findings, and implications for AI safety. Focus queries on practical applications and theoretical contributions.
Obsidian
Build connected knowledge graph
Create Obsidian notes for each paper with Perplexity insights. Use tags for research areas and create bidirectional links between related concepts to build a knowledge network.
Anki
Create spaced repetition cards
Transform key concepts from Obsidian into Anki flashcards. Include definitions, methodology comparisons, and practical applications. Set up deck hierarchy by safety research subfield.
