π Hi Product Hunt! I'm the maker of Zettelkasten AI.
The problem I kept running into:
I've been using Obsidian with the Zettelkasten method for years. I love the freedom of plain-text Markdown, the graph view, and the ability to link ideas. But i want to make it deeper and faster
So I decided to built Zettelkasten AI.
It's an Obsidian plugin that brings AI directly into your vault.
What you can do with it:
Chat with your notes: RAG-powered conversations with your entire vault as context
Semantic search: Find notes by meaning, not just keywords
Transform text: Summarize, rewrite, expand, or link any selection with custom AI commands
Generate atomic notes: Turn long articles or meeting transcripts into interconnected Zettelkasten-style notes with tags and backlinks
Auto-generate MOCs: Create Maps of Content from clusters of related notes
Custom workflows: Design your own prompts and run them on any folder or selection
And most important: Skills. You can install any possible skill and make obsidian not just regular knowledge base but an actual framework with your unique data and unique tools

It would be great if you could add a "smart inbox" view that surfaces notes needing review or connections, based on AI suggestions. Right now I have to manually remember which notes are orphaned or stale.

Curious how you handle the cost when a vault gets large, since the RAG retrieval has to pull context on every chat turn - does it rerank chunks before sending to the model or just dump everything in?

Switched it over to my local Ollama model and the atomic note generation actually pulled the right context from my vault. Way better than other plugins that force you into one provider.

finally a tool that actually hooks into my obsidian vault without forcing me into someone else's workflow. the local model support with ollama was surprisingly painless to set up
