The Obsidian Thought Partner plugin brings the power of GPT-3 to Obsidian.
It's aim is to not just be an easy way to generate text, but to help you think through your ideas and be a better writer.
Download the zip of this repo and unzip it into your vault's <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/ folder, then reload Obsidian.
Note: the .obsidian folder may be hidden. O n MacOS you should be able to press Command+Shift+Dot to show the folder in Finder.
Thought Partner uses GPT-3. It's free software, you'll just pay (the very reasonable) cost of the tokens to GPT-3 (and you'll have $18 of free credit).
