I’ve spent a lot of time on concepts like this one: software that understands enough about your working life to be useful about the people in it. Not a contact list, and not a task list, but the thing in between that nobody keeps well: where you actually stand with the people your work depends on, what you owe them and what they owe you, and what changed since you last talked. askMyu is what that turned into, and this plugin is the version that lives inside Obsidian, which to be quite fair is where a lot of you already keep the raw material.
The way it starts is that you point it at a meeting-notes folder and it builds your people, decisions, and commitments from notes you already have. No calendar or email needed to begin, though it reads both if you connect them, and that’s where “where did we leave off” comes from.
What you get back, day to day, is this. Before a meeting, a short read on the person you’re walking into: where things stand, what’s open between you, and what you wrote down last time, summarized, with the source one tap away, which turns out to be the thing you most want and never go find. A Today pane in the sidebar with your meetings and a morning brief that’s about people rather than counts. And if you let it, a folder in your vault that Myu maintains: a page per person and per company, your commitments as actual checkboxes that sync back when you tick them, meetings and calendar as notes. Bases and Dataview work over all of it because at the end of the day they’re markdown files with frontmatter.
One rule I’d want you to know, because it’s the difference between this and pointing a chatbot at your vault: Myu doesn’t make a claim it can’t cite. Every read carries where it came from, the low-confidence ones are held back and counted rather than smoothed over, and the interface says “patterns, not verdicts” in as many words. It’s on your side and nobody else’s. There is no manager view, no team dashboard, no buyer.
What it needs is an account. It’s a service and the plugin is a client for it; the thinking happens on our side. The beta is free and open.
I’ll be blunt about the boundaries, because I would want to know them myself. Number one, it never writes outside its own Myu folder, apart from one CSS snippet you can choose to install, and everything it writes carries myu-generated: true, so it’s one search away and one command from gone. Two, your journal never leaves your device unencrypted, and the key is split so that neither our server nor your disk ever holds a usable one; meeting notes are the one thing from your vault that’s sent in the clear, behind their own consent screen. Three, there is no telemetry, and I don’t mean a toggle that’s off, I mean the code isn’t there. The README lists every endpoint the plugin talks to, and Obsidian’s own build check confirms the released code is exactly what’s in the repo.
It is a beta and it will feel like one in places. If something’s off, the plugin has a Send feedback command that comes straight to us, or just reply here.
