How It Works

Vault Indexing

• We scan your entire Obsidian vault (all .md files).
• FAISS builds an index with GPU support for sub‐second searches.
• Your notes remain 100 % local—nothing leaves your machine.

• When you ask a question, the plugin retrieves top‐k results from FAISS.
• Low‐latency embeddings + local LLM generate context‐aware answers.
• If confidence < 65 %, fallback to Google Scholar/YouTube.

• Queries go to Ollama (self‐hosted LLM).
• Ollama returns answers with a confidence score.
• Answers with 85–100 % confidence use only vault data.
• 65–85 % confidence merges vault + external links.
• < 65 % confidence: show fallback results only.
