What is Obsidian?
Obsidian is the local-first notes app you install first. Your markdown files, backlinks, daily notes, research, and projects live there.
Obsidian AI plugin for local-first notesSystemSculpt Obsidian AI Plugin
Turn your Obsidian vault into a practical AI workspace: chat with notes, search by meaning, transcribe audio, generate images, and review agent changes before they touch your files. Buy Pro for managed models and the smoother setup path; use your own keys if you want full provider control.

Requires Obsidian. Install Obsidian first, then add SystemSculpt as a community plugin and connect your Pro license or your own provider keys.
Best if you want managed models, Pro workflows, and license controls without stitching providers together first. You can still install the free Obsidian plugin first if you want to connect your own provider keys.

SystemSculpt sits where your notes connect.
Chat, search, transcripts, and agent outputs stay close to the vault.
What is SystemSculpt?
SystemSculpt is the AI layer for that vault: chat, semantic search, transcription, image generation, and agent workflows inside Obsidian.
What do you get?
Buy Pro when you want managed models and the full paid workflow surface. Use the free BYOK path when you prefer to configure providers yourself.
What you get
Streaming AI Chat
Chat with any model directly inside Obsidian. Pin notes, PDFs, and transcripts as context so every reply stays grounded in your actual vault files.
Semantic Search
Index your vault with embeddings and find relevant notes instantly. Combines keyword and semantic matching to surface context you forgot you had.
Image Generation
Generate images from prompts without leaving Obsidian. Use managed credits or your configured providers, with prompt controls for publish-ready visuals.
Audio Transcription
Record or import audio and get searchable transcripts directly in your vault. Hosted transcription uses credits, so heavy work stays explicit.
Agentic Workflows
Build AI-driven workflows that read context, propose edits, and run actions. An approval step lets you review every change before it touches your vault.
Bring Your Own Keys
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models with your own API keys. Or use managed models for a lower-setup path.
Choose the path that fits your setup
The free path is for people who want to wire model providers themselves. The paid path is for people who want the full SystemSculpt Pro workflow with less setup friction.
Use your own keys
Install Obsidian, add the plugin for free, and connect providers you already control, including OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, LM Studio, or compatible local HTTP endpoints.
Buy Pro for less setup
Monthly ($19/month) and lifetime ($149) plans add managed-model convenience, dashboard license controls, and the full paid workflow surface.
Add credits for hosted work
Credits are explicit top-ups for metered hosted operations such as transcription, semantic indexing, document processing, and image generation.
