This plugin integrates generative AI capabilities into Obsidian, enabling users to create and organize knowledge more effectively. It targets Obsidian users seeking to leverage AI for tasks like idea generation, summarization, and content creation within their personal knowledge management system.

How It Works

The plugin acts as an intermediary, connecting Obsidian's knowledge base to various AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (Gemini-Pro), and local models via HuggingFace. It utilizes a flexible prompt system and a template engine to allow users to define custom AI-driven workflows. This approach offers adaptability by supporting multiple AI backends and enabling users to tailor AI outputs to their specific needs through templating and context configuration.
