Frequently asked questions

Sim's Obsidian integration adds 15 Obsidian tools to the AI agents you build in Sim's visual workflow builder — no code required. Interact with your Obsidian vault via the Local REST API. Teams often pair Obsidian with Rippling and Linear in the same agent.

You can list Files, get Note, create Note, append to Note, and patch Note with Obsidian in Sim, plus 10 more Obsidian tools listed on this page. Each runs as a tool inside an AI agent block, so an agent can chain Obsidian with services like Rippling and Linear and apply LLM reasoning between steps.

Connecting Obsidian takes about five minutes: (1) Create a free account at sim.ai. (2) Create an agent in your workspace. (3) Drag an Obsidian block onto the workflow builder. (4) Paste your Obsidian API key to authenticate — you can find it in your Obsidian account settings. (5) Pick a tool such as "List Files", wire up its inputs, and click Run — your agent is live.

Add an Obsidian block to your agent and select "List Files" as the tool. List files and directories in your Obsidian vault. Fill in the required fields — inputs can reference outputs from earlier steps, such as text generated by an AI block or data fetched from another integration. No code is required.
