Obsidian Smart Composer Plugin

Documentation · Report Bug · Discussions

Everytime we ask ChatGPT, we need to put so much context information for each query. Why spend time putting background infos that are already in your vault?

Smart Composer is an Obsidian plugin that helps you write efficiently with AI by easily referencing your vault content. Inspired by Cursor AI and ChatGPT Canvas, this plugin unifies your note-taking and content creation process within Obsidian.

Upgrade your note-taking experience with our Contextual AI Assistant, inspired by Cursor AI. Unlike typical AI plugins, our assistant allows you to precisely select the context for your conversation.

• Type @<fname> to choose specific files/folders as your conversation context
• Get responses based on selected vault content

Now, you can add website links and images as additional context for your queries.

• Website content is automatically extracted
• Image support: Add images directly to your chat through:
  • Upload button
  • Drag & drop
  • Paste from clipboard
• Youtube link support: YouTube transcripts are fetched and included as context
• Coming soon: Support for external files (PDF, DOCX, ...)

Smart Composer suggests edits to your document. You can apply with a single click.

• Offers document change recommendations
• Apply suggested changes instantly

Automatically find and use relevant notes from your vault to enhance AI responses.

• Hit Cmd+Shift+Enter to run Vault Search answer
• Semantic search across your vault to find the most relevant context
