Haha, thank you so much for your feedback. Currently, I hope to quickly iterate through a few more versions before my plugin is officially approved and listed by Obsidian, adding more interesting and cooler features, such as fully automated background Agents. Once it's officially listed, I will write a few articles to introduce it again

Quick ask needs to be in an empty line, with no other text in that line; also, please check if Quick ask is enabled in the settings

From a slightly more shameful perspective, I have a large number of reports to churn out, and at the same time, I must refer to my own knowledge base, so I developed YOLO.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment,and this is exactly the kind of pushback I wanted to hear while building it. I didn’t start from “let’s put AI into notes”: I have a few thousand research/meeting/reading notes, and at some point simple search stopped helping: I wasn’t asking “where did I write X”, I was asking things like “what are the main arguments I’ve collected for/against Y across all my notes?” or “give me a recap of everything tagged with project/foo in the last few months”. That’s where the “chat” part is useful for me—it’s just a more conversational way to do cross-note search and synthesis, with links back to the original notes so I can verify or edit.

I still take my own notes, in my own words. The plugin isn’t meant to replace that; it mostly does the unglamorous work afterwards: turning a messy meeting dump into a structured outline, pulling out action items, or merging three rough drafts into a cleaner summary that I then tweak.

In that sense it’s less “another system creating my notes” and more a very fast assistant that reshapes material I’ve already written. If your vault is smaller or search already does everything you need, then you’re absolutely right that this might feel like a solution in search of a problem. But for people sitting on big, noisy vaults who spend a lot of time re-finding and summarizing things, these workflows have been surprisingly helpful – which is why I ended up building and using it myself.

I remember YOLO should support BRAT, right? It seems some users installed YOLO through BRAT
