this is good. im really wanting this all to work with mobile and getting it all connecting. I'm working on that now but i just want to be able to work on it while phone tnen pc back aod forth.
Dumb question but does smart connection gpt (browser chat in ChatGPT) have to run on same pc as the vault or does your local client allow us to be mobile and read our vault through the GPT?
Great question. Smart Connect has to be running on a desktop with your vault. Then, you can use the GPT via the ChatGPT app or phone browser and it will work. If you have syncing setup then any notes added or changed via the GPT will also be available on your device. Using the official obsidian sync service, new notes appear in my obsidian mobile app within seconds of them being created via the GPT.
Rather than editing my notes with actions, does this work if I want to have a conversation with my notes, as a knowledge-base I can learn things from and get suggestions based on my input? I'd like to for the custom GPT to utilize the entirety of my Obsidian Vault as a giant piece of context.
Yes! It can perform semantic search like the Smart Chat in Obsidian Smart Connections, and also to keyword search. Since ChatGPT can perform multiple actions for each input, it can also simple browse your folders and files, retrieving notes that may seem useful. I created my own custom SC GPT just for this use case. I tell it what I'm looking for, then it finds my relevant notes to use as context, and finally it says "context retrieved, ready for further instruction." 🌴
Please provide more detailed instructions on how to setup local LLM !
This! Can’t get Ollama or LM Studio to work with Smart Connections yet. I’ve been sticking to OpenRouter for now.
@@ShakeAndBakeGuy how?
