Requires a running Obsidian Desktop vault. Connect the ChatGPT plugin or choose a supported desktop app.

Keep your notes aligned with what was agreed.

The client update promises a live website. The kickoff notes specify a PDF walkthrough. That is a different commitment, not just different wording.

Smart Inbox shows the reference beside the proposed correction.

Smart Inbox shows Client kickoff notes evidence, the proposed replacement in Client update draft, and separate Edit text, Reject, and Apply correction controls. — Sample project: a pending correction for Client update draft, shown beside its reference.

Refine the proposed wording.

Adjust the proposed replacement while the original note stays unchanged.

The same Client update draft correction has its proposed PDF-walkthrough sentence open in an inline editor, with Cancel and Done editing visible. — Same correction, with the replacement open for editing. Done editing keeps a review draft; applying it is separate.

Reorganize without losing the thread.

Review the proposed follow-up, the link that would replace the original passage, and the meeting notes that would remain before confirming the move.

Smart Inbox previews a new Client follow-up note, the proposed pointer in Meeting scratchpad, and its retained Parking lot section, with Created on approval and Review move visible. — Separate sample project: Client follow-up is proposed, not yet created. The preview also shows what would remain in Meeting scratchpad.

Use your notes without rewriting them.

Connect Pro also lets supported AI apps read your notes and retrieve relevant material. Use that context for the next draft or decision; request a proposal when the task calls for a change.

Available tools depend on your installed plugins and permissions. See examples.

Before you connect

Which AI apps can I connect?

For ChatGPT, start with the Connect Pro for Obsidian plugin (Remote MCP). A compatible desktop app can use Local MCP on the same computer as Obsidian. Keep the intended vault open and verify access with one note you recognize. Choose your setup.

Can AI change my notes without this review?

Yes, through other enabled write tools. Use Connect Pro's proposal tools for reviewed changes and check the other tools you enable. Asking AI to "only propose" is not an access restriction. Review tool permissions.

Does local access keep note content on my computer?

Not necessarily. Your AI app may send retrieved content to its model provider. Review its data handling before connecting. Read the privacy answers.

Can I undo an applied change in Smart Inbox?

Smart Inbox has no Undo command. Keep a backup or version-history workflow for your notes. Read about recovery.

Start with a note you want to keep relying on.

Choose one project note and one improvement. Review the suggestion against its source and your intent, then decide what is worth keeping.
