Keep AI work where your notes live

SystemSculpt turns Obsidian into an AI workspace: an Obsidian AI assistant, semantic search, and approvals for agentic workflows—built for real note-taking.

When AI lives outside your vault

  • Copy/paste context into a browser chat, then lose track of what changed.
  • Answers never land in your vault unless you manually move them.
  • Automation feels risky because you can’t review edits before they happen.

When AI lives in Obsidian

  • Chat with vault context and save outputs back into Markdown notes.
  • Search semantically across your vault without leaving Obsidian.
  • Run agentic workflows with Agent Mode approvals so you stay in control.

Why SystemSculpt

AI that respects your workflow

Most AI tools force you into their ecosystem. SystemSculpt meets you where you already work.

Your choice of AI

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

Privacy by design

Your vault stays in Obsidian. You control what context is shared with your model provider, and Agent Mode adds approvals before any edits run.

Native Obsidian experience

Built as a true plugin. Chat lives in your sidebar, outputs save as Markdown, and hotkeys work as expected.

Composable automations

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

Capabilities

Everything you need in Obsidian

From streaming chat to semantic search, every feature keeps you in flow inside your vault.

Streaming AI chat

Streamlined chat built for vaults

Use your own API keys or SystemSculpt-managed models, pull in vault context, and save threads back into Markdown—without leaving Obsidian.

  • Streaming responses that read/write your vault
  • Chat presets with prompt libraries and auto titles
  • Optional Agent Mode approvals for tool usage

Streaming reply

Summarize this note and add action items.

Summary

Key idea: keep AI work inside the vault so context and outputs stay linked.

Action items

  • Extract 3 bullets for the weekly review note
  • Draft a 1-paragraph update for the team
  • Queue edits to the /Projects folder (requires approval)
Save this as a new note: “Weekly Review Recap”.
