Smart Chat
Getting Started

Ask better questions, retrieve richer context, and act without leaving Obsidian.

Context breaks momentum

  • Copy/paste rituals slow every chat.
  • External tools miss vault-specific nuance.
  • Manual lookups derail deep work.

Chat with full vault awareness

Smart Chat pairs conversational prompts with Smart Environment embeddings so answers stay grounded in your notes.

Pick your model

Open Settings → Smart Chat. Choose a local engine like Ollama or connect an API such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini.

Step 1 · Reference yourself

  • Type “Summarize what I wrote about it last week.” Smart Chat maps “it” to recent notes automatically.

Step 2 · Pull richer context

  • Use “Retrieve more” to append additional matches without resending your message.

Step 3 · Review before sending

  • Preview and toggle suggested notes so every request stays grounded in the right sources.
