One sentence to Claude in Chrome: auto-tracking board games into Obsidian and BGG
dSebastien · x · 2026-10-14
Developer dSebastien demoed his personal media management workflow: after ordering new board games, he told Claude in Chrome "I ordered these games (link); create board game notes and add them to BoardGameGeek." The AI found the ordered games, created Obsidian Markdown notes, downloaded cover images, filled in metadata, and added everything to his BoardGameGeek account autonomously.
Key points:
- Previously maintained via hard-to-maintain Excel sheets; now all metadata lives in Markdown files he owns forever in his Obsidian vault
- Uses Obsidian Bases to visually track play logs, spending, and whether to resell games
- His takeaway: "This is where AI rules" — a concrete example of browser-driving agents handling real multi-step personal tasks
