AI for Obsidian with Jarvis
How does Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) work with Obsidian?
Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) reads your Obsidian vault as local files — no OAuth needed since Obsidian stores notes as markdown on disk. Grant Jarvis read access to your vault folder, and press Cmd+/ on Mac or Ctrl+/ on Windows from any app to ask Jarvis to find a note by meaning, summarize a daily-note period, draft a new note that fits your vault's structure, or surface backlinks across topics. Routing goes to frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google (with OpenAI realtime for voice). Semantic search via vector embeddings finds notes by what they're about, not just filename. Persistent memory remembers your vault structure, tagging conventions, and recurring topics across sessions. A capable Obsidian AI plugin alternative (Smart Connections, Copilot for Obsidian, Text Generator) that works outside Obsidian too. Vault contents stay local; cloud-routed snippets are AES-256-GCM encrypted and GDPR-aligned. Scroll down for Obsidian workflows.
Ask Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) to search your local vault, update notes, create periodic notes, and connect Obsidian with email, calendar, or tasks.
Search Obsidian content where the connector allows it Read Obsidian items, files, pages, messages, or records when authorized Create or update Obsidian content after approval where supported Use Obsidian context with memory and other connected apps Keep risky actions behind Ask before running or Blocked permissions
Works across other apps too? — Yes. Jarvis can use Obsidian with Gmail, Slack, Notion, Calendar, Drive, Linear, GitHub, Figma, local files, and memory when you connect them.
Has persistent memory? — Yes. Jarvis has local encrypted memory for preferences, projects, people, and past decisions.
Costs Obsidian's subscription? — Jarvis starts with a free plan of 40 requests every week (plus a 7-day full Pro trial), then paid Jarvis plans when it becomes part of your day.
Available on the platform you use? — Jarvis runs as a desktop assistant for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with connector support depending on platform and provider.
Works from the app you are already in? — Yes. Press ⌘/ on Mac or Ctrl+/ on Windows/Linux and ask from the current screen.
Does Jarvis replace Obsidian AI plugins? Not always. Obsidian AI plugins can be useful when you are already inside Obsidian. Jarvis is for the wider workflow: asking from your screen, using memory, and pulling context from the other apps around Obsidian.
How much does Jarvis cost for Obsidian users? Jarvis starts with a free plan of 40 requests every week and a 7-day full Pro trial. Paid plans are for people using it every day.
Can Jarvis send, delete, share, or change things in Obsidian? Jarvis only performs connector actions through the permissions you grant. Sensitive actions should stay set to Ask before running or Blocked until you trust the workflow.
Does Jarvis work with free and paid Obsidian accounts? Jarvis works with the connector access the provider allows for your account and workspace. Some admin, enterprise, or paid features may depend on Obsidian's own plan and API rules.
What models does Jarvis use for Obsidian queries? Jarvis routes requests to strong frontier models for the job, and can use voice mode, screen context, memory, and connected-app context together when the request needs it.
