Currently use Reflect to save knowledge and get insights via AI - similar setup in Obsidian?

What I’m trying to do

Currently using the Reflect app to …

  • store all my knowledge

  • search for ideas based on tags

  • use AI to draw out insights

  • transcribe meetings (a lesser use).

I want to go back to Obsidian (cheaper, more portable etc).

I would be happy to compromise and simply extract several notes based on search criteria, copy the results as a text file and then summarise in Claude etc…

Things I have tried

I have tried a few note merging plugins, and have been experimenting with copilot but none really hit the mark.

Any able to suggest a simple way of doing this? Just simply need to interrogate my own knowledge within Obsidian, not pull in insights from ChatGPT and enrich it

Free Gemini solution with Copilot:

Instead of using {activeNote} in the prompt, you add the links you want and may need to customize prompt.
I didn’t try it with many notes and was not really happy with Smart Connections for full vault usage or Msty app’s embedding model to get good results, but I have a large vault with lots of text.

It’s possible that paid embedding models can do a better job, or otherwise the mentioned Gemini solution can handle one million token input so a few files it will be able to handle but will be slower too if the prompt is too complex.
