Why SystemSculpt

AI that respects your workflow

Most AI tools force you into their ecosystem. SystemSculpt meets you where you already work—inside Obsidian, with your notes, your way.

Your choice of AI

Bring your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models—or skip the setup and use SystemSculpt-managed models with any paid plan.

Privacy by design

Everything runs through your vault. Your notes, your API keys, your data. We never see or store your content.

Native Obsidian experience

Built as a true plugin, not a wrapper. Chat lives in your sidebar, outputs save as Markdown, and hotkeys work exactly as you'd expect.

Composable automations

Chain templates, triggers, and AI actions together. Build workflows once, run them with a keystroke.
