Productivity Boost: Automate Note-Taking with This GPT-3 Plugin for Obsidian

What is GPT-3?

GPT-3 is making waves in the world of AI-powered language models, and it's no surprise that many are excited to integrate it into their workflows. One way to do this is through the GPT-3 Notes plugin, which allows you to access GPT-3 directly from the Obsidian note-taking app. In this article, we'll walk through the installation process for GPT-3 Notes and provide some tips for using it effectively.

Get Started

To get started, you need an API key from OpenAI.

Once you have signed up for an account, you can create an API key, and the first signup offers an $18 free account.

The pricing model for GPT-3 is simple and flexible. The Ada model is priced at $0.0004/1k tokens, with 1000 tokens roughly equaling 750 words. With $0.0004, the AI can generate 750 words.

Use ChatGPT in Obsidian

To use AI writer in Obsidian, you can install the community plugin called text generator.

Then, you need to configure the plugin with the following steps:

  • Add the API key from OpenAI
  • Choose the engine for text generation
  • Set the maximum number of tokens that can be generated by the AI model in one instance
  • Control the randomness and creativity of the model's prediction.

Start Writing!

To start writing for you automatically, simply input the following command:

generate text
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In this case, AI needs context to begin with, and the context considered by the text generator plugin can either be the line where the cursor is or a selected text.

You can also give a customized prompt to write content:

Write an outline about using AI for automated Note Taking.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Conclusion

In conclusion, the GPT-3 AI writing tool can help improve productivity by managing knowledge. With the ChatGPT plugin for Obsidian, you can automate your note-taking system and be more productive.
