Another option is to use llama-index and index the Obsidian vault. I use a gradio based web interface to query my Obsidian vault via GPT-3.5. It's pretty awesome.
I turned that into cli tool, but it isn't ready to release. Mine works like this:
qwoo index .
qwoo qa "What have I been up to?"When you say "upload some of the vectorized data" do you mean in a numerical embedding form or that it will embed the original text from original similar-seeming notes directly into the prompt? I've only ever done the latter, is there a way to build denser prompts instead? I can't find examples on Google.
Those documents are then injected into your prompt and sent to some kind of LLM completion system such as GPT.
So yes, you will be sending chunks of your actual notes over the wire.
