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. On MacOS you should be able to press Command+Shift+Dot to show the folder in Finder. You may need to enable 'Community Plugins' and to create the plugins folder if it doesn't exist.
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).

To use the plugin efffectively you need to understand the context that the AI considers. If text is selected, it will use that. If the line is empty it will use as much of the previous content as possible. For features like "tldr" it will use the whole file.
You can access the commands through the command pallette, the right-click menu or keyboard shortcuts. Please use the feedback buttons ('good'/'bad') on the generations, to help improve the prompts used for each feature.
