I built two custom GPTs that make note-taking in Obsidian faster and more structured: Find Keywords, which extracts Obsidian-formatted keywords from any text, and Obsidian Topic Page Generator, which turns those keywords into topic pages with summaries, context, and references. They’re free to use—just need a ChatGPT account.
Choosing the right ChatGPT model depends on your needs. For quick, general queries, GPT-4o Mini is ideal. If you need advanced reasoning or coding help, try o1 or o3-mini-high. For writing and idea exploration, GPT-4.5 excels. Use GPT-4o with scheduled tasks for ongoing projects. Select the best fit for optimal results!
