When he posted about this bookmarking project he was working on (#1271128), Gigi mentioned a voice memo system that he used as a part of his workflow.

I like to go on walks a lot, and I always have a recording device (read: my phone) with me. I try to minimize my phone use when I’m out and about, but when an interesting thought (or prompt idea) hits me, I’ll pull out my phone and record it. It works surprisingly well, and the way I’ve built it is that if I say certain words, certain LLM pipelines will trigger—pipelines that summarize the idea, create tasks from what was said, and draft prompts based on the thought that was captured.

He threw out a word -- vibeline -- when talking about this workflow.

Looks like Gigi's released it as a tool you can use:

VibeLine is a powerful voice memo processing system that uses AI to extract meaningful content from your voice recordings. It uses a flexible plugin system to generate various types of content like summaries, blog posts, app ideas, and action items.

• 🎙️ Automatic voice memo transcription
• 🧹 Transcript cleaning with customizable vocabulary
• 🔌 Flexible plugin system for content extraction
• 🤖 AI-powered content generation using Ollama
• 📝 Built-in plugins for:
  • Summaries
  • Blog posts
  • App ideas
  • Action items/TODOs
• 🎯 Smart plugin matching based on transcript content
• 📁 Organized output directory structure

Basic usageBasic usage

• Use whatever you want to record voice notes (I use Fossify)
• Use whatever you want to sync your files (I use Syncthing)
• Use whatever you want to look at the markdown/output files (I use Zettel Notes)
• Run the ./watch.sh script on an idle machine to get the most out of it

This is something I plan on testing out over the holidays. I've never been one for voice memos, but I make a lot of written notes and I strongly believe in the power of noting down thoughts in the moment you have them. Excited to see how it works.
