# Obsidian AI Plugins Out of the box, Obsidian does not include AI features. It fully relies on external AI applications and AI community plugins to provide AI support. And if it's something you're interested in/curious about/absolutely need, then don't worry, there are many options out there providing AI features that leverage local or cloud-based [[Large Language Models (LLMs)]] such as OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, GitHub Copilot, and many more! My own opinion/advice on the matter is that **thanks to the way Obsidian works, there's not much need to directly integrate AI *within* Obsidian** through plugins. AI tools such as [[Claude Code]], [[OpenAI Codex]], [[Gemini CLI]], [[GitHub Copilot]], [[Cursor.com]] and many others can simply be pointed to the Obsidian vault's folder and directly work with the files (read/create/update/tag ...). Also consider that there are more and more AI community plugins out there, and while some do have added value, multiple ones have free/paid versions, so it's just one more "money sink" with limited value at the end of the day. But if you really do want integration within Obsidian, you can use plugins such as: <!-- QueryToSerialize: TABLE WITHOUT ID name as Name, description as Description, file.link as "Details" FROM #obsidian/plugins WHERE public_note = true AND type = "AI" SORT file.name ASC --> <!-- SerializedQuery: TABLE WITHOUT ID name as Name, description as Description, file.link as "Details" FROM #obsidian/plugins WHERE public_note = true AND type = "AI" SORT file.name ASC --> | Name | Description | Details | | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | AI Assistant | AI-powered assistant plugin for Obsidian | [[AI Assistant plugin for Obsidian]] | | AI Commander | Execute AI commands directly from the editor | [[AI Commander plugin for Obsidian]] | | AI for Templater | AI-powered content generation with Templater templates | [[AI for Templater plugin for Obsidian]] | | AI Image Analyzer | Analyze images using AI within Obsidian | [[AI Image Analyzer plugin for Obsidian]] | | AI Providers | Manage and configure AI provider connections | [[AI Providers plugin for Obsidian]] | | AI Summary | Automatically summarize your notes using AI | [[AI Summary plugin for Obsidian]] | | AI Tagger | Automatically tag notes using AI | [[AI Tagger plugin for Obsidian]] | | AI Transcriber | Transcribe audio and video using AI | [[AI Transcriber plugin for Obsidian]] | | Auto Classifier | Automatically classify and organize notes | [[Auto Classifier plugin for Obsidian]] | | Cannoli | Visual AI workflow builder for Obsidian | [[Cannoli plugin for Obsidian]] | | Chat Stream | AI chat interface within Obsidian | [[Chat Stream plugin for Obsidian]] | | Claudian | Embeds Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents inside Obsidian | [[Claudian plugin for Obsidian]] | | Companion | AI writing companion for Obsidian | [[Companion plugin for Obsidian]] | | Copilot | AI-powered copilot for Obsidian notes | [[Copilot plugin for Obsidian]] | | GitHub Copilot | GitHub Copilot integration for Obsidian | [[GitHub Copilot plugin for Obsidian]] | | Local GPT | Run local AI models within Obsidian | [[Local GPT plugin for Obsidian]] | | Replicate | Run AI models via Replicate API | [[Replicate plugin for Obsidian]] | | Reverse Prompter | AI-powered reverse prompting tool | [[Reverse Prompter plugin for Obsidian]] | | Sentinel | Monitor vault changes and notifications | [[Sentinel plugin for Obsidian]] | | Smart Connections | AI-powered note connections and suggestions | [[Smart Connections plugin for Obsidian]] | | Smart Second Brain | AI-powered second brain features | [[Smart Second Brain plugin for Obsidian]] | | Smart Templates | AI-enhanced template system | [[Smart Templates plugin for Obsidian]] | | Text Generator | AI-powered text generation | [[Text Generator plugin for Obsidian]] | | YOLO | AI-powered note summarization | [[YOLO plugin for Obsidian]] | <!-- SerializedQuery END --> I personally found [[Claudian plugin for Obsidian|Claudian]] to be both simple and versatile, assuming you're using [[Claude]].
