Your vault can grow faster than you can make sense of it.

Research, decisions, and AI drafts accumulate. Useful background can get left out of the next task.

Ideas you meant to revisit

You save an idea for later, then miss it when the project starts.

Decisions without the background

A decision is recorded, but the research behind it is hard to find.

AI drafts without context

Drafts pile up, separate from the sources and goals they were meant to support.

Bring your notes into the next AI task.

Smart Connections works on its own. Add other plugins only as needed.

  1. Find related notes

    Smart Connections starts from your current note. Smart Lookup starts from a question.

  2. Choose what to include

    Smart Context lets you choose and review the sources for your AI request.

  3. Keep AI work attached to the note

    Smart Chat Core saves a link to the AI conversation in your note, so you can return to it as the work continues.

    Illustration: your note keeps the link, not a copy of the conversation.
