Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

  1. Chat not loading: Ensure you have an active internet connection and that the plugin is up to date.
  2. Context files not working: Verify that the selected files are accessible and contain relevant information.
  3. High token count: Try splitting your conversation into smaller chunks or starting a new chat.

Security and Privacy

  • Chat conversations are stored locally in your Obsidian vault.

Performance Considerations

  • Large context files may increase processing time and token usage.
  • Consider archiving old chats to maintain optimal performance.
  • If you experience slowdowns, try reducing the number of active chats or context files.

Customization

  • Customize the system prompt in the plugin settings to change the AI's behavior.
  • Adjust the chat folder location in settings to organize your chat files according to your preferences.
  • Experiment with different AI models (if available) to find the best fit for your needs.
