The Augmented Canvas plugin enhances Obsidian's Canvas feature by integrating OpenAI's GPT-4 to provide AI-powered functionalities. Users can ask questions about specific notes or generate new questions based on a note's content. The plugin creates new notes with AI-generated responses or links, facilitating a dynamic conversation history between notes. Additional features include creating images, running system prompts across folders, generating flashcards for spaced repetition, and inserting relevant AI-generated questions into the canvas. The plugin offers robust customization options and integrates seamlessly with other Obsidian tools, boosting productivity and enhancing note exploration.
