v3.1.0 — Agents

Build your own AI team, right inside Obsidian.

Agents are reusable AI personas that live as Markdown files in your vault. Each agent carries its own model, temperature, and system prompt — so you can switch between a creative writing partner, a code reviewer, and a research assistant in
seconds.

Create agents in two ways

AI Wizard — Just describe what you need. "A Socratic tutor that teaches through questions" — the AI generates a name, tunes the temperature, and writes a comprehensive system prompt. Review it, tweak it if you want, save.

Manual — Full control. Pick your model (with autocomplete across all your configured providers), dial in the temperature, write your system prompt.

Use them anywhere

Run Choose Agent on any note. The agent's settings merge seamlessly with your note's frontmatter — your per-note overrides still win. Switch agents mid-conversation. Mix and match.

What else is new

Streaming is now rock-solid. Tables, code blocks, and other block-level markdown no longer corrupt during streaming. The new line-boundary flushing engine writes content at natural breakpoints, eliminating the cursor race conditions that
caused visual glitches.

Dependencies updated across the board — all packages at their latest compatible versions.


Getting Started

  1. Open Settings → ChatGPT MD and set your Agent Folder (default: ChatGPT_MD/agents)
  2. Run the Create new agent command
  3. Choose AI Wizard or Manual
  4. Apply it to any chat note with Choose Agent

Your agents are just Markdown files — version them, share them, sync them across devices. They're yours.

🚀 ChatGPT MD v3.0.0 — Privacy-First AI Tool Calling

Your AI assistant can now actively search your vault, read files, and query the web—with a human-in-the-loop architecture that keeps you in complete control.

This release introduces a tool calling system built on privacy-first principles. When your AI needs information, it requests permission to use tools—you approve execution, review results, and
control exactly what gets shared back to the model. Nothing leaves your vault without explicit consent.


✨ Key Features

🔍 Vault Search

  • AI discovers relevant notes across your entire vault
  • Multi-word OR search matches ANY query term
  • Searches both filenames and content simultaneously
  • Edit search queries before execution
  • Configurable result limits (default: 5 files)

📄 File Reading

  • AI can request access to specific files you've discovered
  • Batch reading support for multiple files
  • Full content extraction with granular file selection
  • You choose exactly which files to share

🌐 Web Search

  • Powered by Brave Search API (privacy-focused, 1,000 free queries/month)
  • Custom search provider support for self-hosted endpoints
  • Edit web queries before execution
  • Review and filter results before sharing
  • Only appears when API key is configured

✅ Three-Layer Approval System

Every tool call goes through explicit approval:

  1. Execution Approval — See what the AI wants to do, edit parameters if needed
  2. Results Review — See what the tool found
  3. Selective Sharing — Choose exactly which results reach the AI

🔒 Privacy-First Design

  • Local-first execution: All vault operations run entirely within Obsidian's API
  • No telemetry: Zero tracking or analytics—tool usage stays private
  • Opt-in only: All tools disabled by default
  • Selective sharing: Multi-select modals let you choose exactly what to share

🎯 Supported AI Providers

Tool calling works with all 6 providers:

  • ✅ OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-4o, o1, o3-mini)
  • ✅ Anthropic (Claude 3.5, Claude 3)
  • ✅ Google Gemini (Gemini 2.0, 1.5)
  • ✅ OpenRouter (100+ models with tool support)
  • ✅ Ollama (Local models with function calling)
  • ✅ LM Studio (Local models)

Note: Not all models support tool calling. The plugin includes a whitelist of 161 patterns covering 194 verified models. Visual indicators show tool compatibility in the model selector.


🚀 Getting Started

  1. Update: Install v3.0.0 from Obsidian Community Plugins
  2. Enable: Go to Settings → ChatGPT MD → Tool Calling → Enable
  3. Optional: Add https://brave.com/search/api/ for web search (free tier: 1,000 queries/month)
  4. Chat: Use the ChatGPT MD: Chat command—AI will request tool use when needed
