What it does

Obsidian Smart Connections is a tool that helps you find related notes and excerpts while writing, using a local embedding model to power semantic search and displaying results in graph and list views.

When to use it

•When you're writing a long document and need to cross-reference other relevant notes
•When you want to visualize connections between different ideas and concepts in your notes
•When you need to quickly find related information without manually searching through all your notes

Ready-to-paste prompt

Type 'What are some related notes to my current note?' in a new line in your note to see Smart Connections suggestions

Heads up: Make sure you have the latest version of Obsidian installed, as Smart Connections is designed to work with the latest features and APIs
