Getting Started

Installation

• Open Community Plugins settings page, click on the Browse button.
• Search for "Copilot" in the search bar and find the plugin with this exact name.
• Click on the Install button.
• Once the installation is complete, enable the Copilot plugin by toggling on its switch in the Community Plugins settings page.

Now you can see the chat icon in your leftside ribbon, clicking on it will open the chat panel on the right!

Quick Setup

Before you can start a chat, the fastest way to get up and running is to fill in your OpenAI API key in Copilot settings. (API key is not the same thing as ChatGPT Plus! You don't need ChatGPT plus to get an API key)

Go to the OpenAI platform page to get your API key, then open Obsidian settings, find Copilot settings and put it in the OpenAI API key field under API Settings.

Now pick an OpenAI model such as gpt-4o or gpt-4o-mini as your default model, click the "Save and Reload" button. Now you can go to the Copilot Chat pane, select the OpenAI model from the dropdown and start chatting!
