Obsidian

What it does

Syncs your Obsidian vault notes into AINexLayer so you can ask questions about them in chat. Notes, frontmatter, wiki links, and tags are indexed after each sync.

How it works

Obsidian uses a companion plugin that runs inside your Obsidian app and pushes note updates to AINexLayer over HTTPS. It works with cloud and self-hosted deployments, including desktop and mobile.

After the first sync, your vault appears as Obsidian — <vault name> on the Active tab in Connectors. The agent searches synced notes in Chat — not in API Playground.

Connect

1. Open Connectors in your workspace and choose Obsidian
2. In Obsidian, install the AINexLayer plugin (recommended via BRAT — add the plugin repository from the Connectors setup screen)
3. Open Settings → AINexLayer in Obsidian
4. Paste your API token from AINexLayer user settings
5. Paste your server URL — your AINexLayer domain or direct backend URL
6. Select your workspace — the first sync runs automatically
7. Confirm Obsidian — <vault name> shows as active in Connectors

Use in chat

After syncing, open Chat, type @, and pick Obsidian (or a specific synced note) from the mention list. Then ask your question.

The @ tag tells the agent to use your vault. Without it, a normal question may not search those notes.

Trigger a manual sync from the plugin settings when you add or edit notes. Start with one folder to verify tags and links appear correctly, then expand to your full vault.

Migrating from the legacy connector

If you previously used the old Obsidian connector:

1. Install and configure the AINexLayer Obsidian plugin using the steps above
2. Run the first plugin sync and verify the new connector is active
3. Delete the old legacy connector only after confirming the plugin sync works
