Obsidian AI integration with persistent memory

Ditto brings your Obsidian notes into one memory with your email, calendar and other apps. Ask any time and get the answer, with the note and message behind it.

Free plan, no card needed. See pricing for prepaid usage plans.

What forgetting costs your work

Decisions get lost

Your note records the conclusion. The client's change of mind sits in email.

Context is scattered

Notes live in the vault. Emails, calls and shared drafts live elsewhere.

Everyone re-explains

Every new AI chat starts blank, so you paste your notes in again.

Follow-ups slip

Tasks written in daily notes never reach your calendar or your inbox.

Ditto remembers, finds and acts across your apps

Which districts did I flag?
Two, not four. The draft still says four.
Synthesis noteKinsale WaterReport draft

Remembers what every note concluded

Findings, client requests and deadlines, linked to the note, email and draft behind each one. Ask weeks later and get the answer.

Connects your vault to every app you use

Gmail, Google Drive, Zoom, Zotero, Xero and many more sit in one memory with your notes. Ask about a project once and Ditto checks them all.

Draft the Kinsale Water update from your synthesis note, and block two hours on 6 Oct to prepare the board slides.

Does the follow-up, when you approve

Drafts the client email, books the prep time and lists what to fix, then waits for your OK. Set routine jobs, like a Friday weekly review, to run on a schedule.

Keeps your memory on any model and in any AI tool

Use a low-cost model for a weekly review of your daily notes, or connect Claude and Cursor over MCP. Ditto brings the same notes and context every time.

When to use Ditto with Obsidian

Ditto is for people whose work spans a vault and several other apps. If the answer lives in your Obsidian notes and somewhere else, Ditto keeps it in one memory: a second brain that you, your team and your AI tools can ask.

How it works

Three steps, then it keeps working in the background.

1

Add your Obsidian vault and connect your apps

In the Ditto app, import your vault folder or a ZIP of it, then connect your other apps. Adding the vault only reads it.

2

Ditto builds one memory

Notes, projects, people and decisions from your vault and every app, linked in one place.

3

Ask in Ditto, Slack or your AI tools

Use the Ditto app, ask in Slack, or connect Claude and Cursor. It answers with sources, your notes included, and acts in your apps.

Ditto vs Obsidian AI plugins and other Obsidian integrations

AI plugins such as Copilot for Obsidian and Smart Connections work inside the editor, and many support local models and your own keys. Claude Code can read the vault's files, and community MCP servers connect Claude and other AI tools to it. Automation tools reach the vault through community nodes or a synced folder. Ditto keeps one memory across your vault and every app you connect, and acts in them.

Questions

Does Ditto remember my Obsidian notes between sessions?

Yes. Ditto keeps your Obsidian notes in one memory next to your email, calendar and other apps. Ask weeks later, in the Ditto app, in Slack or from an MCP client, and it answers with the note and its other sources.

What does Ditto read from my vault?

Your Markdown and text notes, with their frontmatter titles, tags and wikilinks kept where possible. Each note becomes a memory. The import skips the .obsidian settings folder. Adding the vault only reads it.

Can Ditto change my notes?

Ditto never changes a note unless you ask. When you ask it to act, in your vault or your other apps, changes wait for your approval unless you set an action to run on its own.

How is Ditto different from Obsidian AI plugins like Copilot?

Ditto is not an Obsidian plugin. Copilot for Obsidian and Smart Connections work inside the editor on your vault, and many support local models. Ditto keeps one memory across your vault and your other apps, brings it into Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, and runs jobs you describe in chat. Plugins have one clear advantage: they run inside Obsidian.

What does Ditto cost?

The new plans are Free, Flex with a $5 initial prepaid deposit and no monthly base fee, Plus at $19/month, and Pro at $97/month. Usage is prepaid with credits. See the pricing page for plan details and rollout availability.

How do I add my Obsidian vault to Ditto?

In the Ditto app, open Settings, then Import, and choose Obsidian vault. Pick your vault folder or a ZIP of it. Re-importing is safe, because Ditto skips notes it already has.

Is this the same as an Obsidian MCP server?

No. A community Obsidian MCP server runs on your machine and gives one AI tool one vault. Ditto's MCP server gives every AI tool you connect the same memory across your vault and your other apps, and saves what you do there.

Does Obsidian have built-in AI?

Obsidian has no general AI assistant in the app. Its official AI feature is Interpreter in Web Clipper, which works on web pages with a model you choose. For most people, AI in Obsidian means a community plugin or an AI tool that reads the vault.

Can I use Obsidian with ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. Connect Ditto over MCP to ChatGPT or Claude and they recall your notes and what happened in your other apps, without pasting notes into each chat. What you decide there is saved back to the same memory. They don't act in other apps through Ditto.

Can Claude Code, Cursor or Codex use my Obsidian notes?

Yes. Add Ditto's MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor or Codex. Each one starts with your project notes and the decisions from your other apps. Ditto gives these tools memory and context. It doesn't control them, and they don't change your vault through Ditto.

Do I have to move my notes out of Obsidian?

No. Your vault stays a folder of Markdown files on your device, and Obsidian works as before. Adding the vault saves a copy of your notes to Ditto's memory.

Is Ditto like Zapier or n8n for Obsidian?

No. Zapier has no Obsidian app, and n8n runs steps someone builds, through a community node or a synced folder. Ditto answers and acts across your vault and your other apps through one memory, and runs jobs you describe in chat.

Are my notes used to train AI models?

No. Your notes are not used to train AI models.

Can I see and delete what Ditto remembers?

Yes. Open any memory to see the note it came from, then edit, export or delete it.
