¿Por qué confiar en esta guía?
I have used Obsidian daily for two years and tested every AI plugin covered here.
Este tutorial se basa en trabajo práctico real, no en capturas de pantalla del proveedor.
Here is a short look at how I work inside my own vault:
Now let us get to the practical part.
Obsidian is one of the most flexible note taking apps in the world right now.
But it ships with no AI at all.
You add that yourself with community plugins like Smart Connections and Obsidian Copilot.
That is the difference between a folder of files and a vault that thinks with you.
This guide shows you how, feature by feature.
Tutorial de IA de Obsidian
This How to Use Obsidian AI tutorial walks through every feature step by step, from the first setup to the tricks that turn you into a power user.
IA de obsidiana
Turn your notes into a thinking tool. Obsidian is free for personal use, stores every file on your own computer, and lets you add AI plugins in minutes. No account needed to start.
Getting Started with Obsidian AI
Before adding AI, finish this one-time setup.
Tarda unos tres minutos.
Vea primero este breve resumen:
Ahora vamos a repasar cada paso.
Paso 1: Crea tu cuenta
Go to the Obsidian website and download the free app.
No account is needed for the app itself.
Create an account only when you want Sync or Publish.
✓ Control: The installer finishes without asking for a card.
Step 2: Open the App and Create a Vault
Launch Obsidian, click Create new vault, and pick a folder on your disk.
That folder is your obsidian vault, and every note lives there as a plain file.
Here is what the interface looks like:
✓ Control: You should see an empty editor with sidebars on both sides.
Step 3: Turn On Community Plugins
Open Settings, choose Community plugins, then turn off restricted mode.
This is the moment Obsidian becomes an Aplicación de inteligencia artificial.
✅ Hecho: Ya puedes utilizar cualquiera de las funciones que aparecen a continuación.
How to Use Obsidian AI Internal Linking Tool
Enlaces internos lets you connect notes with double brackets so AI plugins follow your context.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Paso 1: Abrir una nota
Open any note in your obsidian vault and place the cursor mid-sentence.
Step 2: Type Double Brackets
Type two square brackets, then start typing the note name you want.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: A dropdown lists matching notes as you type.
Step 3: Confirm the Link
Press Enter to link, or create a brand new note instead.
✅ Resultado: Your notes now form a network that herramientas de IA can follow.
💡 Consejo profesional: Smart Connections reads these links. Tight linking gives better results from every Asistente de IA.
How to Use Obsidian AI Visual Graph
Gráfico visual lets you see how ideas cluster across your obsidian vault at a glance.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Open Graph View
Press Ctrl+G, or click the graph icon in the left sidebar.
Step 2: Filter the View
Use the filter settings to hide attachments and show one tag.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: Clusters of related notes appear as coloured groups.
Step 3: Spot the Gaps
Find orphan notes sitting alone, then link them to a hub.
✅ Resultado: You can see where your knowledge is thin before writing.
💡 Consejo profesional: Run Smart Connections on an orphan note first. It suggests links the graph missed.
How to Use Obsidian AI Canvas Workspace
Canvas Workspace lets you spread notes and AI drafts across one infinite board.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Paso 1: Crear un lienzo
Right-click a folder, choose New canvas, then name the file.
Step 2: Drag Notes In
Drag existing obsidian notes onto the board and group them by theme.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: Cards show live note content, not static copies.
Step 3: Add AI Output
Paste AI drafts into cards, then connect the cards with arrows.
✅ Resultado: One board now holds your research, your ideas, and every AI answer.
💡 Consejo profesional: Keep a separate AI Ideas canvas. Generated content stays apart from your original thinking.
How to Use Obsidian AI Plugin Library
Biblioteca de complementos lets you install community plugins that add AI tools to Obsidian.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.

Go to Settings, choose Community plugins, then turn off restricted mode.
Step 2: Search and Install
Search for Smart Connections, Copilot, or AI Assistant, then click Install.

Step 3: Enable and Configure
Turn the plugin on, open its tab, and paste your api key.
✅ Resultado: Your AI integration is live and ready to read notes.

How to Use Obsidian AI Collaboration Tool
Collaboration Tool lets you share an encrypted vault with teammates and keep every version.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Turn On Sync
Buy a Sync account, then enable Sync inside the settings panel.
Step 2: Create a Shared Vault
Create a remote vault, then invite collaborators by email address.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: Teammates see your changes within a few seconds.
Step 3: Set Version History
Choose how long version history is kept before older data gets trimmed.
✅ Resultado: Your team edits one shared collection of notes without conflicts.
💡 Consejo profesional: Keep AI drafts in their own folder. Teammates can then tell machine texto from yours.
How to Use Obsidian AI Daily Notes
Daily Notes lets you capture fleeting thoughts and let AI summarize your week.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Enable Daily Notes
Open Settings, find Daily notes, then set a folder and date format.

Write quick lines all day. Do not stop to organise anything.
Así es como se ve:

Step 3: Summarize With AI
Ask Copilot chat mode to summarize this week of daily notes.
✅ Resultado: Every stray thought gets captured, then processed into something you can search.
💡 Consejo profesional: Run a weekly review. Distracted ideas resurface instead of sitting stuck at the bottom.
How to Customize Obsidian AI Appearance
Customizable Appearance lets you shape the interface around the way you actually write.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Paso 1: Abra la configuración de apariencia.
Go to Settings, then Appearance, and pick a light or dark base.

Step 3: Toggle Sidebar Panels
Hide panels you never use so the AI chat panel gets room.
✅ Resultado: The interface finally matches how you read long AI answers.
💡 Consejo profesional: Widen readable line length before pasting long AI output. Cramped lines hide obvious errors.
How to Use Obsidian AI Custom Themes
Custom Themes lets you swap the whole look of your app in one click.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Browse the Theme List
Open Settings, then Appearance, and click Manage beside Themes.
Step 2: Install a Theme
Preview a few options, then install the one that fits your work.
Así es como se ve:

Step 3: Tweak With Style Settings
Install the Style Settings plugin to adjust colours and spacing further.
✅ Resultado: Your vault looks like a tool you actually want to open.
💡 Consejo profesional: Minimal themes pair well with an AI chatbot panel because they keep contrast high.
How to Use Obsidian AI Offline Access
Acceso sin conexión lets you run local models so your notes never leave your computer.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Confirm Local Storage
Your notes are plain markdown files sitting on your own disk.
Step 2: Install LM Studio
Download LM Studio, then start a local inference server on your machine.
Así es como se ve:

Step 3: Point Obsidian At It
Paste that server URL and model name into your AI plugin settings.
✅ Resultado: Large language models answer questions without your data leaving the computer.
💡 Consejo profesional: Smaller models feel slower but keep private research fully offline. Test a few first.
Obsidian AI Pro Tips and Shortcuts
After two years of daily use, these are the tips I give every new user.
Imaginar your vault as a map of meaning, and these shortcuts as the fastest route across it.
Atajos de teclado
| Acción | Atajo |
|---|---|
| Abrir la paleta de comandos | Ctrl + P |
| Quick switcher for notes | Ctrl + O |
| Open graph view | Ctrl + G |
| Insertar un enlace | Ctrl + K |
Características ocultas que la mayoría de la gente pasa por alto
- Similarity scores: The Smart Connections plugin scores each match, so you can see how close two ideas really are. Old insights resurface on their own.
- Vault Q&A: Copilot indexes every note, then lets you talk to your whole vault in plain English or ask for feedback on a draft.
- Auto metadata: Pair Templater with an AI prompt to fill tags and summaries, killing hours of manual tasks.
Obsidian AI Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Treating AI Output as Finished Writing
❌ Incorrecto: Pasting generated text straight into permanent notes and moving on.
✅ Derecha: Verify AI-generated content, then rewrite it in your own words. AI bridges ideas; it does not replace original thinking.
Mistake #2: Installing Every AI Plugin at Once
❌ Incorrecto: Adding AI plugins until the app crawls and nothing feels reliable.
✅ Derecha: Start with Smart Connections alone. Add Obsidian Copilot later, once you actually need chat mode.
Mistake #3: Sending Private Notes to Hosted AI Models
❌ Incorrecto: Pasting client research into a hosted ai chatbot without reading the terms.
✅ Derecha: Run local models through LM Studio for anything sensitive. For example, client research should never leave your machine.
Obsidian AI Troubleshooting
Problem: Smart Connections Returns Nothing
Causa: Embeddings are still building, which takes a while on a large vault.
Arreglar: Wait for indexing to finish. Watch the progress notice in the status bar.
Problem: Copilot Shows an API Key Error
Causa: The key has no credit, or a stray space came along when you pasted it.
Arreglar: Copy the key again from your provider account, paste it, then reload Obsidian.
Problem: AI Answers Miss Relevant Information
Causa: The plugin has not indexed your newest obsidian notes yet.
Arreglar: Run the refresh index command, then ask the exact same pregunta de nuevo.
📌 Nota: If none of these help, ask in the Obsidian community forum.
¿Qué es Obsidian AI?
Obsidiana es un aplicación para tomar notas that keeps every file as plain markdown on your own computer.
It has no built-in AI.
Obsidian AI simply means adding AI to that app through community plugins.
Using ai in obsidian covers two different things.
Semantic search surfaces related notes, while generative ai writes, summarises, and answers questions.
Thousands of ai enthusiasts keep that plugin library growing every week.
Think of it like hiring a librarian for a library you already own.
