Overview
NoteSmith
NoteSmith is a plugin for Obsidian. It brings AI-assisted editing to your markdown notes — letting you revise, rephrase, and clean up entire notes at once using the OpenAI API.
It's designed to help you refine raw thoughts into publishable content — without ever leaving your vault.
Why NoteSmith?
Most note-taking tools help you capture ideas. But they rarely help you improve them.
NoteSmith is built to help you:
- Refactor messy or stream-of-consciousness notes
- Summarize long passages
- Rewrite in a different tone or format
- Get quick, AI-powered editorial feedback
- Automate repetitive edits across your vault
What It Can Do
NoteSmith integrates seamlessly into Obsidian and adds a suite of tools to transform your writing using LLMs like OpenAI’s GPT models:
- 💬 Whole-Note Editing: Send the entire note to the model and replace it with the improved result
- 🛠️ Custom Prompts: Add additional instructions to guide the model’s output
- 🔌 Choose Your Model: You control the model, allowing you to use the latest and greatest from OpenAI or other providers, or save with their cost-effective models
