A Cursor clone that lives inside your Obsidian vault

What it does

Infio-Copilot is an Obsidian plugin that grafts IDE-style AI tooling onto markdown notes. It offers context-aware autocomplete as you type, inline chat for editing selected notes, and semantic search across your entire vault using a bundled local embedding model (bge-micro-v2). All LLM inference routes through external providers—OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Groq, and others—while vector and conversation data sit locally via PgLite.

The interesting bit

Instead of building yet another standalone AI editor, it treats your Obsidian vault as the workspace, complete with MCP integrations, custom AI modes, and a rebuilt “Write” mode. The project is refreshingly honest about its lineage, borrowing TypeScript architecture and UI patterns from existing Obsidian AI plugins and tools like Continue and Cline.

Key highlights

• Ships with a default local embedding model (bge-micro-v2) so semantic search works out of the box
• Supports a broad roster of LLM providers, from OpenAI and Anthropic to regional options like SiliconFlow, Alibaba Bailian, and DeepSeek
• Offers vault-wide RAG chat, inline editing, and metadata-driven queries across time, tasks, and note properties
• Organizes context into Workspaces and surfaces an “Insights” feature meant to synthesize connections between notes
• Integrates with Model Context Protocol (MCP) to pull in external tool context

Caveats

• The README is vague on how exactly “Insights” synthesizes connections, and whether the “dataview query” feature requires the Dataview plugin or merely mimics its syntax
• Despite the local embedding model, all LLM calls require external API keys; local LLM support is not mentioned
• The plugin demands a recent Obsidian installer version, and the rapid 0.7.2 release cycle suggests the surface is still shifting

Verdict

Developers who already treat Obsidian like a second brain and want IDE-style AI assistance without leaving the app will feel right at home. If you prefer your note-taking without API keys, autocomplete pop-ups, or MCP integrations, steer clear.
