Copilot for Obsidian is your in‑vault AI assistant with chat-based vault search, web and YouTube support, powerful context processing, and ever-expanding agentic capabilities within Obsidian's highly customizable workspace - all while keeping your data under your control.
Today's AI giants want you trapped: your data on their servers, prompts locked to their models, and switching costs that keep you paying. When they change pricing, shut down features, or terminate your account, you lose everything you built.
We are building the opposite. Our goal is to create a portable agentic experience with no provider lock-in. Data is always yours. Use whatever LLM you like. Imagine that a brand new model drops, you run it on your own hardware, and it already knows about you (long-term memory), knows how to run the same commands and tools you have defined over time (as just markdown files), and becomes the thought partner and assistant that you own. This is AI that grows with you, not a subscription you're hostage to.
This is the future we believe in. If you share this vision, please support this project!
Copilot's Agent can call the proper tools on its own upon your request.
After months of hard work, we have revamped the codebase and adopted a new paradigm for our agentic infrastructure. It opens the door for easier addition of agentic tools (MCP support coming). We will provide a new version of the documentation soon. Here is a couple of new things that you cannot miss!

If you’re using a different provider, please refer to their documentation and billing policies for the equivalent steps.
Please refer to your model provider’s documentation for the context window size.
⚠️ If you set a large max token limit in your Copilot settings, you may encounter this error.
🧠 Behind-the-scenes prompts for Copilot commands also consume tokens, so:
💡 For QA with unlimited context, switch to the Vault QA mode in the dropdown (Copilot v2.1.0+ required).
