Gemmy - Obsidian Unhelper

Not sure if an AI assistant is going to be helpful in your workflow?

Don't worry, we've eliminated the guesswork for you because Gemmy is 100% going to be unhelpful.

Introducing Obsidian's first assistant — Gemmy, the Obsidian Unhelper. It has two major features:

Randomly saying things

Gemmy seeks validation by randomly saying things every now and then.

You can customize how often this happens. Or just don't summon Gemmy.

Gemmy pops out to motivate you when you have stopped typing for long enough. Again, you can customize how long that should be.

Risk: Gemmy might actually be helpful with writing if you use this mode. We're not responsible for any extra productivity Gemmy might bring.

Install Gemmy. There are four commands in the command palette when you type "Gemmy". You can figure out the rest on your own.
