I’m speeding through the very initial stage of defining a research project. I’m grabbing a lot of content as quickly as possible and it would be helpful for a feature to (smartly) propose tags based on the content and its source.

I use Text Generator plugin + Ollama for this purpose. Predefined AI prompt make it simple & secure (offline)
// Local solution I like, AI topic tagging agent

I use the untagged mentions in the outgoing links sidebar because every time I’ve automated tagging it took me longer to fix than just doing it this way
// Consider using files for topics. Then I can link directly into the content instead of using a tag. Still tag pages are the way that quartz helps aggregate the topics for others}

I like to do the same process here and there and I picked up Recall a week or 2 ago for this purpose. I just throw links in there and it categorizes them and generates summaries and most importantly I can separate external sources from my own writing in my vault without having to think about an entire workflow of processing source material.

Only thing I see searching obsidian and recall is a spaced repetition plugin, is that what you’re talking about? I don’t see a summary feature for that

Recall is its own paid service, https://www.getrecall.ai
I would also like to mention that while recall is helpful for my use-case, I don’t see it as a necessity, it’s just a current experiment of mine.brighteoustrousers · 2025-10-15 · 3 points
Hey, I’ve been using the obsidian web clipper (has llm integration) so you can do sort of the same as recall is doing. You can create templates and ask the llm to fill in some of the blanks. I’ve been usong it for now mostly to bookmark github repositories. // Don’t use the web clipper LLM integration, need one integration that all files pass through, AI agent pre-processing on vault inbox files

That’s def a much more sustainable method but the only pain point it doesn’t address is the separation of my writing vs source material // Proceeding or surrounding differing provenance with forward slashes

I almost exclusively use Properties instead of Tags, but the concept is similar: // Can still be accomplished via tag notes
Every note must have at least a link to its parent or Map of Contents (MoC) note. This is essential for building a relational wiki-like repository.
Use Templater to auto-add Properties to every new note.
Enable the Properties View core plugin and add the File Properties tab to the lower half of the right sidebar. This keeps properties always visible and editable while keeping the editing pane clean.
Use Bases to provide filtered views, and they are the foundation of my MoC notes.
Pause and take the time to populate the Properties. IMHO, this NEEDS to be part of the workflow.

Bases can be embbeded and use
thisto reference the note it’s currently in. This way you can have a single base to be used for moc notes that uses properties from the current note as default filters.I have a field called “related” and a “moc-tags” that I use to manipulate what appears in the moc base.

Yep. I use a variant of this:
```base views:
- type: table name: Table filters: and: - file.hasLink(this.file.name) ```
I add a couple of other Properties and wrap it in a Callout, but this is a great starting point.
