Learn a new concept from Obsidian with Jarvis

How can I learn a new concept from Obsidian with AI?

Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) is the best way to learn from Obsidian from anywhere on your desktop, without you ever leaving the app you are in. Press Cmd+/ on macOS or Ctrl+/ on Windows to summon the floating bar; Jarvis screenshots Obsidian along with whatever else is on screen and answers from the same view you are looking at. Connect Obsidian via local vault access once and Jarvis can read your Obsidian vault and summarize a folder of notes without copy-paste. Jarvis reads what is on the Obsidian page, explains it in plain English, and offers to quiz you on it later from the same source. Routing goes to frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google (with OpenAI realtime for voice) per task; persistent memory keeps your Obsidian tone, projects, and prior decisions across sessions. AES-256-GCM token encryption and a signed DPA covering Obsidian for GDPR teams. A free plan (40 requests/week), $16/month after. Scroll down for the playbook and FAQ.

Learn a new concept is one of the most common reasons people install Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) on top of Obsidian. The floating bar opens with Cmd+/ on Mac or Ctrl+/ on Windows, takes a screenshot of whatever Obsidian view you are on, and pulls live data through the local vault access connector so the answer is grounded in your real Obsidian state, not the web. The playbook below is the one most users run on day one.

1. Connect Obsidian once — Open Jarvis, go to Connectors, and connect Obsidian via local vault access. The whole flow takes under two minutes. Tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest. Once connected, Jarvis can read your Obsidian vault and find notes by tag or wikilink the moment you ask — no copy-paste, no second login. You can revoke access at any time from the same screen, per-tool granularity, no all-or-nothing. 2. Press Cmd+/ from Obsidian — From anywhere on your desktop — but especially with Obsidian open — press Cmd+/ on Mac or Ctrl+/ on Windows. The floating bar appears at the top of the screen. Jarvis screenshots Obsidian along with whatever else is on screen, so it has the same view you have. Type or talk: learn a new concept. Short prompts are fine; Obsidian context fills in the rest. 3. Use Jarvis as a study partner — Jarvis runs the request through your model of choice — a fast model for speed and a frontier model for nuance, across Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google (OpenAI realtime for voice) — and weaves in everything it can summarize a folder of notes or append to a note for review without breaking links. Persistent memory means Jarvis already knows your projects, people, and tone preferences from prior sessions, so you do not have to brief it every time. If the first answer is not right, type "redo with another model" or "try with more context" and Jarvis re-runs without you starting over. 4. Review, then run — Jarvis writes drafts first, runs second. For anything destructive — sending email in Obsidian, posting a message, changing a ticket, writing to a database — you see the draft and approve it before it leaves your machine. You can change Jarvis's tone, scope, or model from the same review screen, and Jarvis remembers your preference for next time. Persistent memory carries this across sessions so you do not retrain it every Monday.

Benefits: No copy-paste between Jarvis and Obsidian — the connector pulls live data once you connect local vault access. Screen-aware answers grounded in the actual Obsidian view you are looking at, not the public web. Persistent memory keeps your Obsidian preferences, tone, and projects across sessions so you do not retrain on Mondays. AES-256-GCM token encryption and a signed DPA for Obsidian — GDPR-friendly by default.
