How I built a personal AI system that writes, summarizes, and plans everything automatically using OpenAI, LangChain, and Notion API
1. When I Realized I Was Wasting Time on ChatGPT
I was spending hours every day typing prompts into ChatGPT — summaries, emails, reports, blog drafts, brainstorming.
Then one day it hit me: why am I still doing this manually?
I build automation for clients all the time… yet I was doing my own AI work like it’s 2023.
So I decided to automate myself.
The result? A full AI workflow that reads my notes, summarizes them, writes content, updates my Notion dashboard, and even generates daily planning reports — without me typing a single prompt.
2. My AI Automation Stack
Here’s what made the system tick:
- OpenAI API → The brain that generates, summarizes, and edits text.
- LangChain → The framework that chains AI prompts into workflows.
- Notion API → For storing and retrieving my notes and daily tasks.
