# Note Companion plugin for Obsidian
Note Companion, by different-ai (formerly named File Organizer 2000), is an AI janitor for [[Obsidian]] vaults. It watches a designated inbox folder and processes whatever lands there: using [[Large Language Models (LLMs)]], it classifies each note or file, suggests or applies a destination folder, proposes tags based on similarity with existing notes, and recommends better filenames derived from the content.
It goes beyond text files. Images of handwritten notes are OCRed into markdown, audio recordings are transcribed, and PDFs and screenshots get processed into searchable note content — so a photo of a whiteboard or a voice memo dropped into the inbox comes out the other side as a filed, tagged, readable note.
The value proposition is removing the filing step from capture: you dump everything into one folder and the vault organizes itself, keeping taxonomy consistent because suggestions are grounded in the vault's existing folders and tags. The trade-offs to be aware of: processing runs through an AI backend (a paid hosted service, with a self-hosting option), so note content leaves the machine unless you self-host, and automatic filing decisions deserve periodic review.
