AI chat assistant for Obsidian with contextual awareness, smart writing assistance, and one-click edits. Features vault-aware conversations, semantic search, and local model support.
An Obsidian plugin that adds a Cursor-like AI chat sidebar to your vault, with `@mention` context selection, one-click diff application, and vault-wide RAG search. Supports every major LLM provider plus local models via Ollama. For Obsidian power users who want AI that actually knows what's in their notes.
The `@file/@folder` mention system for scoping context is well-executed — you're not just dumping your whole vault into the prompt. The Drizzle-managed SQLite schema for local vector storage (9 migrations, multiple embedding model tables) shows real engineering thought about offline-first RAG. MCP support is a meaningful addition that lets you connect external tools without leaving Obsidian. Provider coverage is genuinely broad — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, Azure, Ollama, LM Studio, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints all in one plugin.
The README leads with a maintenance warning: single developer, not actively developed, issues may not be reviewed. That's a real adoption risk for anyone who hits a breaking Obsidian API change. The OAuth subscription connect feature for Claude carries a documented account-ban risk due to Anthropic ToS enforcement — that warning shouldn't be buried in a callout, it should stop users from clicking the button. The settings schema has 16 versioned migrations, which means upgrade breakage is a recurring problem they've had to patch repeatedly. No PDF or DOCX support despite being listed as 'coming soon' since at least v1.
