Running a Local AI Inside Obsidian with Ollama

Feb 1, 2026 - 8 min read - 1389 words

What if your Obsidian notes could think with you, without sending a single word to the cloud? This article shows you how to build a fully local AI setup inside Obsidian using Ollama and the open Gemma 3 model. You’ll learn why local AI makes sense for knowledge work, how to install and test Ollama from the command line, and how to connect it to Obsidian using community plugins for a seamless writing experience.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a private AI assistant that can rewrite text, summarize notes, brainstorm ideas, and help draft content all while keeping full control over your data. This setup combines Obsidian’s local-first philosophy with Ollama’s open source AI capabilities to create a knowledge workspace that’s private, hackable, and built to last, proving that powerful tools don’t have to come at the cost of control.

Showcasing your sponsors in GitHub READMEs is a great way to acknowledge their support and attract potential sponsors. An easy way to do this is by using SponsorKit, developed by Anthony Fu. SponsorKit generates sponsor images compatible with GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective, Patreon, and Afdian. By following a few steps, you can create and display these sponsor images in your project’s README file. You’ll need a GitHub account, at least one sponsor, and a personal access token. A template repository is available to simplify the setup process.
