Chat Lab AI v1.3.4 Release Announcement

Obsidian AI is an AI-powered assistant for Obsidian that combines fast inline editing with a persistent sidebar chat panel — now with multi-device sync and group chat.

What's New in v1.3.4

  • Community Directory compatibility and security remediation follow-up.
  • Reproducible, attested release assets built from the exact tag.
  • Official Ollama integration remains deferred; custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints remain supported.

Multi-Device Sync (WebSocket Relay)

  • Real-time chat sync across laptop, tablet, and phone via self-hosted WebSocket relay
  • Zero persistence — relay is stateless, no messages stored on server
  • LAN auto-discovery — detect your local IP for easy same-network setup
  • Start relay with pnpm run relay or node relay/relay-server.js

Build Info in Settings

  • Version badge, git commit hash, and branch name now visible in Settings hero
  • Know exactly which build you're running at a glance

Improved Relay Logging

  • Detailed client join/leave tracking with connection duration
  • Ping/pong heartbeat for dead connection detection
  • Graceful cleanup on abrupt disconnects

Installation

Via BRAT (Recommended)

  1. Install BRAT from Community Plugins
  2. Add Beta plugin: https://github.com/space-cadet/obsidian-ai
  3. Auto-updates enabled

Full Feature Set

  • Inline AI Editing — Highlight text, press Ctrl/Cmd + K, diff preview, accept/discard
  • 13 Agentic Tools — Read, edit, create, move, search, delete notes from chat
  • Group Chat — Multiple AI agents in one conversation with debate mode
  • Multi-Device Sync — WebSocket relay for real-time cross-device chat
