AI Autocomplete
AI inline writing completion for Obsidian, powered by OpenAI-compatible APIs. The default setup routes through OpenRouter to the Groq provider for fast inference.
Type naturally and get ghost text suggestions that appear inline. Press Tab to accept, Esc to dismiss.
Features
- Ghost text completion — transparent suggestions appear at your cursor, like GitHub Copilot
- Context-aware — reads text before and after cursor for coherent continuations
- Insight-oriented — can surface sharper questions, hidden assumptions, analogies, and reframes for personal knowledge notes
- Fast — defaults to OpenRouter's Groq provider with throughput-prioritized routing
- Bilingual — automatically detects and continues in Chinese or English
- Lightweight — 6KB plugin, no dependencies
Usage
- Install the plugin
- Go to Settings → AI Autocomplete → enter your OpenRouter API key

How it works
The plugin uses CodeMirror 6 extensions to render transparent "ghost text" at the cursor position. When you pause typing, it sends the surrounding context (up to 2000 chars before + 500 chars after cursor) to the configured API and displays the completion as inline ghost text.
