Qonspekt now works with Gemini — free Obsidian notes, no credit card

The biggest barrier to trying new AI tools? "I need to add a credit card."

Qonspekt just removed that barrier entirely. It now supports Gemini — and Google's free API tier means you can generate atomic Obsidian notes without spending a single cent.

What changed

Qonspekt now has a provider toggle: Claude or Gemini (FREE).

For Gemini, use Google's free API tier:

• No credit card required
• No billing setup
• Gemini 2.0 Flash: free up to 15 requests per minute
• Get your key in 30 seconds at aistudio.google.com/apikey

How to get started for free

1. Go to aistudio.google.com/apikey
2. Click "Create API key" — takes 30 seconds, no billing
3. Open Qonspekt
4. Click "Gemini FREE" → paste your key → generate notes

That's it. Zero cost.

What you get

Paste any article → Gemini extracts 3–7 key concepts → each becomes an atomic note with:

• YAML frontmatter (title, tags, aliases)
• [[wikilinks]] connecting related concepts
• ## Sources section
• Download as ZIP → drag into Obsidian

Claude still works too

If you have Claude API credits, the Claude provider still works. Gemini is just the new free option that removes the "I need to pay first" friction.
