Generate markdown summaries from selected Obsidian notes using multiple configurable AI providers.

Features

• Select any number of markdown files from a vault-wide picker modal.
• Send selected notes to an LLM and save the output into a configured folder.
• Send only the currently open note with a selected preset and create a sibling output file.
• Provider selector with an 8-provider set:
  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
  • Google Gemini
  • Google Cloud Vertex AI
  • Azure OpenAI
  • ElevenLabs (provider slot included for parity; not yet implemented as direct chat-completions backend)
  • AWS Bedrock (provider slot uses the legacy internal ID aws-polly for compatibility)
  • OpenAI Compatible
• Built-in prompt presets (editable in settings):
  • TTS fluid summary
  • Bullet summary
  • Interesting links
  • Exploration ideas

Commands

• Summarize selected markdown notes
• Summarize current note with prompt preset

Provider settings (summary)

• OpenAI: API key + model
• Anthropic: API key + model
• Gemini (AI Studio): API key + model (endpoint preconfigured)
• Google Cloud Vertex AI: OAuth access token + project ID + location + model (endpoint auto-built; optional override)
• Azure OpenAI: API key + resource endpoint + deployment ID + API version (full endpoint also supported)
• AWS Bedrock: API key + region + model (endpoint auto-built; optional override)
• ElevenLabs: docs links and guidance only for now (no direct summarization backend yet)
• OpenAI Compatible: API key (optional for localhost) + base URL + model

Output behavior

• Multi-file command writes to Output folder for vault summaries.
• Active-file command writes next to the source note as:
  • <original basename> - <preset suffix>.md

Community submission disclosures

• This plugin sends note content to the selected third-party AI provider over the network.
• Using this plugin generally requires provider accounts and API keys, and provider billing may apply.
• API keys are stored locally in Obsidian plugin data (data.json). Do not commit that file.
• The plugin includes no telemetry, ads, or self-update mechanism.

Acknowledgements and inspirations

This plugin takes inspiration from community work that is directly relevant to multi-provider summarization workflows:

• ai-providers / local-gpt by Pavel Frankov for multi-provider settings architecture.
• scribe by Mike Alicea for structured transformation/summarization workflow framing.

Credit where due:

• Matthias provided the product vision, selected scope, and performed iterative testing/validation.
• Codex implemented most of the code and release preparation steps under Matthias's direction.
