Overview
Reusable AI prompts and automated text generation for Obsidian. Designed around customizable templates for repeatable generation workflows. It helps users turn repeatable prompts into note-level generation actions with a chosen language model provider. The practical value is a repeatable workflow that remains visible in ordinary Markdown or Obsidian's own interface, rather than an isolated feature added without a plan.
Key Features
- Generate text from custom prompt templates
- Build reusable prompt workflows
- Automate repetitive note writing tasks

How to Use Text Generator
