What it solves

Note Companion is an AI-powered assistant for Obsidian that transforms messy, unprocessed captures—such as audio recordings, YouTube videos, and raw notes—into structured, searchable knowledge. It eliminates the manual effort of transcribing media, organizing files into folders and tags, and synthesizing information from a personal knowledge base.

How it works

The tool integrates directly into Obsidian as a plugin. It can be used via a managed cloud service or a self-hosted backend. It leverages LLMs from providers like OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Groq, or local models via Ollama to perform tasks such as transcription, automated note formatting, and vault-aware chat.

Who it’s for

It is designed for researchers, students, and professionals with meeting-heavy workflows who need to process an "Inbox" of raw information into a structured vault.

Highlights

• Media Transcription: Transcribes YouTube videos and audio/video files, converting them into transcripts and structured notes.
• Vault-Aware Chat: Allows users to chat with their notes using @mentions for specific files, folders, and tags.
• Auto-Organization: Suggests or automatically applies titles, tags, and folder placements for raw notes.
• Meeting Enhancement: Converts audio recordings into notes containing embedded audio, transcripts, discussion points, and action items.
• Flexible Deployment: Supports cloud access, self-hosting via Docker, or experimental local LLM integration.
