Writing & notes
What it does
An Obsidian plugin that drafts titles, summaries, outlines and continuations grounded in your existing notes, inserting them where you are writing, with reusable prompt templates for the requests you make often. Requires Obsidian and your own API key, so each generation costs money - start small. Note content goes to the AI provider, and generated text contains factual errors that need checking.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
