Notice
The Smart Connect app is being replaced by Connect Pro. Use Connect Pro for the current supported path to connect ChatGPT to your Obsidian vault.
Hello Smart Explorer,
Smart Connect introduced a local-first way to give ChatGPT access to your own files and tools without treating the cloud as the source of truth. That direction now continues through Connect Pro for Obsidian.
If your goal is to let ChatGPT create notes, update notes, run vault workflows, and stay connected to your own environment, go to the Connect Pro page and use the current setup path there.
What Connect Pro is for
- Turn chat into actions in your Obsidian vault
- Stay in flow with the Official GPT and Obsidian CLI
- Keep control of the connection and disconnect any time
What changed
- Smart Connect is being replaced: Connect Pro is now the primary destination for this workflow.
Legacy Smart Connect background
The Smart Connect app helped validate a secure, local-first connection between ChatGPT and user-controlled context. That same desire for privacy, control, and faster action is now being carried forward by Connect Pro.
If you still want to see the original Smart Connect walkthrough, the legacy demo is below for background only.
Ready for the supported path?
