I’m sure folks have pointed this out already but using ChatGPT with the custom frames 100% DOES NOT have access to your vault data.

Custom frames uses iframes and that’s fundamentally not how iframes work.

I previously left a negative content on your editing style. The raw information and content you upload is unmatched and top tier. Thank you again.

[gnsdgabriel]

The avatar doesn't match the high level of the content. I almost didn't click on the video because of the thumbnail. Anyway very good content!

[alterdice]

I started using obsidian not too long ago and your videos helped me quite a lot, can't wait for the second video in this series!

[fleetingnotes]

Wow this is a great video! Crazy how powerful this plugin is :D

[christerjohanzzon]

What a great video! How did I not know this already? Now I only need a plugin to my first brain and we're good to go! :P

[greglongoria]

I use Smart Connections but learned a couple tricks from you here, which are helpful. One question I have related to another video you produced is how well does the new Properties work with Smart Connections? Can you get better smart connection results if you populate YAML info at the top of your note? If so, what would be helpful?

[MsAntonio]

In Brazil there are people charging 200 dollars to teach this. Here it's free. Thanks!

[renslaboratory]

I added the chat get custom frame but it only shows a blank window :((

[profdrkatharinazweig]

Thanks so much for this video, very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to share! Here is my question: What do I need to do to keep smart connections updated with my notes? Do I need to upload new notes to get the embedding or is that taken care of automatically whenever I make a new note? Sorry if that is a dumb question - I am neither acquainted (yet) with Obsidian nor the smart connection-plug in. Thanks for your patience!

Not gonna lie, your keyboard sounds AMAZING! Where can I buy a keyboard like this to sound like an epic programmer?

[cccZander]

Amazing Video ! Thanks so much. I do have a question .. for me it dose not seem to take into account anything I highlight ... What am I doing wrong ?

[kennethjames]

The Smart Connections plugin looks to be an awesome enrichment to my zettelkasten. But I have a couple of questions. You suggest that it works off of "headings" and that we should be meaningful in the content of headings. What happens if I have hundreds of notes that each have the same heading structure, but the content indented under that heading is unique for each note. With hundreds of "the same" heading, does Smart-Connections still analyze the content of the note under each heading and work with that? Or do I need unique headings in each note to get the advantage of analyzing similar subject matter across all of these notes? Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for this video! It really helped me to decide to include Chat GPT with Obsidian. I am using the API and SmartConnections. Having Chat GPT review my notes and use them as a source when I query it is phenominal.

[holger_krumm]

Hey John, as usual, awesome content and so helpful. Can you help me with an issue? I go on your note "# 📚 How To Take Smart Notes", change to ChatGPT and prompt to summarize it. But it does not get the context (asking for more context about the wanted book). So I assume the link is not there.

[BeastFromTheEast.]

3:33 how do you get the ai to summarize all the information without pasting it in i highlighted the collapsed header put the initial prompt in but then dont understand what you do after that

[dannylevitin]

Hi John,

Adding ChatGTP using Custom Frames works just fine, however, when using it in my vault it keeps saying it dont have access to my information - I followed your video, what am I missing?

Great video as always!!
Thanks,

[abaoaweikago]

hmm for some reaseon the Smart Connection plugin isn't recognizing my Open API key and try to restart Obsidian and try new API keys with no luck

[cacogenicist]

I think I would be more interested in using an open source model run locally. Orca looks very promising.

[yannickhs]

Awesome ! Still I'm waiting for an AI that will select concepts/words of interest in each note and automatically put them into bracket. Shouldn't be too hard to make with AI development. This is the only thing that's refraining me from coming back to Obsidian for now, as I found using brackets too tidious of a process for each note !
