Obsidian + Ollama: Free Local Neural Networks for Boosting Productivity
Dive into the world of local neural networks with Obsidian Ollama! In this 2025 guide, we'll explain how to install Ollama on your PC for free and private AI work—without sending data to servers. Let's start with Notely Voice: an open-source Android app for voice-activated note-taking with a compact 200 MB model that transcribes speech to text on the fly. Perfect for capturing ideas on the go!
Next up are Obsidian AI plugins: Text Generator for generating text directly in notes (translations, additions without API keys) and Smart Connections for finding similar ideas using embedding models like Qwen. Learn how to run Gemma or other models locally, even on NVIDIA 1080, and integrate them into Obsidian for a "third brain"—recovering forgotten thoughts and connections.
If you're a productivity junkie, Obsidian's AI plugins will transform your routine, from voice input to smart search. Suitable for beginners and advanced users alike—no hassle!
