File Structure

The conversations will be saved in your Obsidian vault with the following structure:

Your-Vault/
└── AI_Conversations/
    └── your_conversation.md

Each file includes:

• YAML frontmatter with:
  • Creation date
  • Year
  • Type: ai_conversation
• The original prompt
• The AI's response in markdown format

Features

• Automatically opens the new note in Obsidian after creation
• Includes the original prompt in the saved note
• Organizes conversations by date and time if no filename is specified
• Supports all Ollama models

Troubleshooting

If the command is not found:

which ai2ob

Should return /usr/local/bin/ai2ob. If not, ensure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH.

If you get permission errors when saving files:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib/ai2obsidian
