Synapse AI turns your vault into a knowledge base you can talk to. Ask questions, pull notes in as context, and save the best answers back as permanent notes — powered by the model you choose (Gemini, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI‑compatible API, including local Ollama / LM Studio) with your own key.

⚠️ Beta. Core chat works and is in daily use. Semantic search (embeddings), agents and a local privacy layer are on the roadmap.

Features

  • 💬 Chat in a side panel — streaming responses, stop mid‑stream, regenerate, edit your messages.
  • 🔌 Bring your own model — Gemini, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI‑compatible endpoint (custom baseURL, incl. local Ollama / LM Studio). Add several and switch on the fly.
  • 📎 Vault‑aware context — pull notes into the prompt via [[wikilinks]], the active note (toggle), or automatic keyword search.
  • 💾 Save reply as a note — turn any answer (or a selected fragment) into a permanent, linkable note with frontmatter. Right‑click a message for the full menu.
  • 🗂 Chat autosave — conversations saved as plain .md in your vault (configurable, optional).
  • 🌐 Proxy support — route requests through your own proxy/VPS (for geo‑blocked regions)
  • 🌍 Localization — English & Russian UI.
  • 🔒 You stay in control — your notes and key go only to the AI provider you pick (or your own proxy). No middle‑man server, no analytics.

Getting Started

Install — download manifest.json, main.js, styles.css from the latest Release into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/synapse-ai/, reload Obsidian, enable Synapse AI in Community plugins. Or via BRAT: Add beta plugin → Fredrix1/synapse-ai-obsidian.

Setup

  1. Settings → Synapse AI → API Keys — add a key (OpenRouter / Gemini).

  3. (Optional) Proxy URL for geo‑blocked regions; System Prompt, chat folder, default tag, language.

Open the chat via the command palette → “Synapse: Open Chat”. Type a question (Enter to send), add context with [[Note name]], and right‑click a reply → Save as note.
