FAQPage Schema
How do I answer complex questions using my Obsidian vault and meeting transcripts?

You can answer complex questions by triggering active research across your Obsidian vault and meeting transcripts. The process involves searching notes and transcripts, exploring cross-note relationships via backlinks, and synthesizing the gathered information into a concise answer with source citations.

Can I synthesize meeting notes and ADRs with source citations automatically?

Yes, synthesizing meeting notes and ADRs with source citations is possible by applying semantic search and backlink tooling to your vault. This mechanism gathers relevant transcripts and architecture decision records, then synthesizes them into traceable answers for decision making.

Does semantic search work for exploring cross-note relationships in a knowledge graph?

Semantic search works for exploring cross-note relationships by traversing the knowledge graph within an Obsidian vault. It actively fetches connected notes and backlinks, surfacing the necessary context to understand multi-step relationships before synthesizing an answer.

What's the best way to gather information from a vault for decision making?

The best way to gather vault information for decision making is performing multi-step active research using vault and meeting search tools. This fetches relevant notes, ADRs, and transcripts, then synthesizes the data into a concise, traceable answer with direct citations.

Do I need backlink tooling to fetch and synthesize vault research?

Yes, backlink tooling is required to fetch and synthesize vault research effectively. It enables the exploration of cross-note relationships within the knowledge graph, which is necessary to gather comprehensive context and synthesize traceable answers from your Obsidian vault.
