A (nearly) seamless integration of ChatGPT into Obsidian.

What it solves

ChatGPT MD is an AI writing companion for Obsidian that allows users to chat with AI directly within their notes. It eliminates the need to copy-paste context from multiple notes into an external AI chat interface by allowing the AI to reference linked notes and search the vault.

How it works

The plugin integrates various AI providers (cloud-based like OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenRouter, or local-based like Ollama and LM Studio) into the Obsidian environment. Users can interact with the AI through a chat interface in their notes using a specific syntax (e.g., user:: and assistant::). It supports [[wiki links]] to provide the AI with context from other notes in the vault.

Who it’s for

Obsidian users who want to integrate AI assistance for writing, brainstorming, and synthesizing information across their personal knowledge base without leaving their application.

Highlights

  • Vault Integration: Reference other notes using [[wiki links]] so the AI can read them for context.
  • Local AI Support: Full support for Ollama and LM Studio for users who prioritize privacy and zero cost.
  • AI Agents: Create reusable AI personas (e.g., writing coach, code reviewer) with specific system prompts and settings.
  • Tool Calling: AI can search the vault and browse the web, with a user-approval system to maintain data control.
  • Flexible Configuration: Model and temperature settings can be defined globally, per agent, or specifically within a note's frontmatter.
