1. Why

After lots of hours (days?) spent building complex note-taking systems I never actually use, I got tired of it and went for a way simpler Markdown option.

My main goal with this system was to integrate tasks within notes and knowledge.

The task system was designed as an extension of the Markdown langage.

I created a software to overview every tasks from my Markdown vault: https://github.com/louis-thevenet/vault-tasks

2. In practice

Here is how a note with tasks looks like:

# SQL Notes ## Introduction

Here goes some introduction of SQL

- [ ] Review these notes tomorrow The `tomorrow` keyword gets automatically replaced with the concrete date by vault-tasks

- [ ] SQL Exam 12/12 8:00 #exams (This task has a subtask) - [ ] Go get the SQL book Reference: XXXYYYZZZ

Then we keep writing our note

I kept needing to pull data from images — receipts, notes, charts — and turn them into usable formats like CSV, markdown, or styled HTML.

AnyDocAI came from that constant back-and-forth: image → data → structured file → shareable doc. Existing tools didn’t make it easy.

So I built a universal doc layer. Upload anything, get every format you need — fast. It’s built for AI workflows, data extraction, and anyone moving between formats constantly.

Questions or thoughts? @boshjerns on X.

We have pioneered a technique that allows you to merge AI models like GPT-4o, Gemini, DeepSeek AI etc. into a single super-intelligent 'model' and prompt it.

We have been experimenting with this for a while and the feedback has been great.

We're excited to bring this to life! Anyone can now combine AI models of their choosing at Alle-AI.com

Would love thoughts on how to keep improving and make it even better.
