#local-ai #privacy-first #vault-search #llm-integration

The Private AI Chat plugin enables secure, local AI-powered conversations with your notes using a privacy-first approach. It connects to a locally running LM Studio server, ensuring that all processing happens on your own device without sending data to external services. You can query your vault naturally, with the plugin automatically searching relevant notes and citing them in responses. It allows narrowing the AI's focus to specific open notes for targeted insights and supports performance tuning through adjustable models, search parameters, and token limits. Cross-platform compatibility for Mac and Windows makes it widely accessible, while easy setup and model swapping simplify usage.

This is a great plugin to have to locally make sense of my second Brain without all the risk/overhead of a remote model! Thanks for putting this out there!!!!

I hooked it up and in about two minutes and it just... works. It’s wild being able to actually chat with my vault.

one of the best AI plugins for Obsidian. RAG indexing works great. Using it with local LM Studio server and Gemma3-4b perfectly!!

This plugin is a lifesaver. I love how it keeps all my notes private and how easy it is to set up. I have tons of personal notes, thoughts, and plans in Obsidian already. And I was looking for a way to unlock their power using AI. Private AI helps me find my notes, chat with them, and synthesize new ideas. This works so well that I'm migrating all my notes elsewhere into Obsidian even faster now. My notes are finally useful, and private! Big thanks to the dev!
