How does AI2Vault export Grok chats to Obsidian?

AI2Vault runs inside your Chrome browser while on grok.com. It fetches your active chat thread via your authenticated browser session and formats it into clean Markdown complete with YAML frontmatter, Obsidian callouts, MOC wiki-links, and ZIP archive packaging.

Is my chat data private and secure?

Markdown ZIP generation runs in your browser. Optional Grok summaries (on by default) send transcript text to a Cloudflare Worker and then to Grok via OpenRouter using your API credits. Those chats were already on Grok. Stripe handles Pro checkout.

Does AI2Vault support Obsidian Dataview and Local MCP?

Yes. AI2Vault automatically generates dynamic Dataview query blocks in your vault index note (000 - Grok Chat Index.md) and appends ^msg-id block anchors for local AI memory graph engines like Smart Connections, Engram, and mcp-obsidian-second-brain.

How does Pro licensing and Stripe billing work?

The free tier includes 10 vault exports (last 7 days). Pro is $19 lifetime via Stripe and includes unlimited Grok exports plus $10 in Grok summarization credits. Additional $10 credit packs are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI2Vault, Stripe billing, and Obsidian integration.

How does continuous incremental export and export memory work? ↓

AI2Vault uses local IndexedDB storage to record the unique IDs and timestamps of conversations you have already exported. When you return days, weeks, or a month later, you can simply click export, and AI2Vault will only package the new and updated chats that have not yet been synced to your Obsidian vault, eliminating duplicates.

Is AI2Vault completely private and local-first? ↓

Markdown ZIP generation runs in your browser. Optional Grok summaries (on by default) send transcript text through Cloudflare to Grok via OpenRouter using your API credits. Those chats were already on Grok. Stripe handles Pro checkout. Details: Privacy Policy.

How do Dataview index notes and MOCs work? ↓

AI2Vault generates a 000 - Grok Chat Index.md file in your exported ZIP archive. This file contains Dataview queries that automatically index all exported chats by date, tags, and provider. Topic MOCs link related chats via native Obsidian [[Wiki-Links]].

What are Local MCP Block Anchors (^msg-id)? ↓

Local MCP block anchors are Obsidian block references appended to message turns. Local AI memory plugins (such as Smart Connections, Engram, or mcp-obsidian-second-brain) use these block identifiers to reference exact AI responses in graph memory retrieval.
