Obsidian is local, offline, and privacy-first, so we won't consider adding AI features until they can fit with the principles in our Manifesto.

In the meantime, there are dozens of awesome #Obsidian plugins that allow you to work with LLMs.

These are all separate vectors:

1. VC vs user-supported
2. Files vs databases
3. Open vs proprietary formats
4. Open vs closed source
5. Extensible vs non-extensible
6. Private vs privacy-invasive

An open source app can be VC-backed, store its data in a proprietary format, have terrible APIs, and include telemetry

Why @obsidian is 100% user-supported and not backed by VC investors

Skiff raised ~$14m in VC to build an open source alternative Google Suite. Now it's being acquired by Notion and the code has been taken down.

All software is ephemeral. File over app.
