DeepSeek Bot

An Obsidian plugin that brings AI chat grounded in your vault — ask questions, get summaries, and find connections across your notes.

Features

• AI chat sidebar — a chat panel inside Obsidian
• Vault-grounded answers — the AI reads your relevant notes before answering
• Wikilink citations — responses reference [[your notes]]
• Configurable — API key, model, and context size in the settings tab
