Hello everyone,
I am a big fan of Obsidian and have been exploring ways to use it as a “second brain.” I am looking to implement the following features and would appreciate any guidance or suggestions:
- A browser plugin that automatically collects articles and converts them into a markdown format that’s more friendly for Obsidian.
- An auto-fill feature similar to Notion’s AI fields that could perform tasks like AI tagging and summarization.
- An in-Obsidian AI chat function, similar to RAG, that could utilize my collected knowledge base for conversations.
- Advanced learning tools, such as AI flashcards based on current documents.
While there are plugins that support some of these functions, I often find limitations or encounter issues with my setup. For example:
- Most browser extensions I’ve tried are mostly supported via a local REST API or advanced URLs, which seem to cater mainly to desktop users and can be cumbersome to set up.
- I’ve also tried using the Smart Connection plugin for AI functionalities, but it hasn’t been working properly and doesn’t fulfill some of my other AI-related tasks.
If anyone has better strategies for building a second brain with Obsidian, please share them. If not, I am eager to create one myself. I welcome any direct suggestions and will respond promptly to your feedback.
Thank you all for your help and I look forward to our collaborative improvements!
