Obsidian AI Assistant
A voice-first productivity plugin for Obsidian that transforms your Second Brain into an active partner. Seamlessly transcribe thoughts, summarize meetings, and chat with your entire knowledge base.
Core Capabilities
Voice Transcription
Instantly capture fleeting thoughts or record meetings. High-fidelity transcription converts speech to markdown in real-time.
Smart Summarization
Automatically process long recordings or notes into concise summaries, action items, and key takeaways using LLMs.
Knowledge Navigation
"Chat with your Vault." Ask questions and get answers based on your existing notes, powered by local RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).
Technical Architecture
Sidebar view for voice controls, command palette integration, and markdown editor extensions.
Hybrid approach supporting both cloud-based high-accuracy models and local privacy-focused transcription.
Local embeddings for note indexing + connection to models like GPT-4, Claude, or local Llama for reasoning.
Planned Workflows
The "Walking Meeting"
Record voice notes while walking. The plugin automatically transcribes them, identifies distinct topics, and appends them to their respective daily notes or project files upon synchronization.
Contextual Research
While writing an article, ask the assistant: "What did I write about hexagonal architecture last year?" The plugin retrieves relevant excerpts and displays them in the sidebar without breaking flow.
