Apprenez avec Vertech AcademyA guide to running AI locally in Obsidian. Keep your data private while chatting with your notes.
"connecting essay themes across books clicked after this" — Olivia, English Lit
Obsidian is popular because it respects your privacy: your notes are just local Markdown files on your hard drive. But introducing AI usually means sacrificing that privacy by uploading your data to OpenAI or Google.
This course is built for people who want the power of AI without handing over their personal data. We cover how to connect open-source, locally run models (using tools like LM Studio or Ollama) directly to your Obsidian vault.
You'll learn how to set up chat interfaces that can 'read' your entire vault to find connections across your notes, generate tags automatically, and query your research—all while completely disconnected from the internet.
Why Obsidian + Local AI?
Total control. You aren't paying a monthly subscription, your notes aren't being used to train corporate models, and you have a system that will outlive any tech company's pricing changes.
Because setting up local models requires a bit more technical legwork, this course walks you through the exact installation steps, the best community plugins to use (like Text Generator or Smart Connections), and what hardware limitations to expect. It's a completely transparent guide to building a private, AI-augmented vault.
