Brainstorming: chat with the whole trilium database using some kind of vectors

[thfrei]

I like your approach. Having at least an openai interface within trilium and save stuff is useful.

Did you think about maybe do some knowledge retrieval with a vector database in the background? maybe we could create one vector for every note and save it as an attribute. so we could then actually chat with trilium.

There are some tools already like:

• https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT that do something like this, however with markdown and python and all.
• Or maybe some inspiration here: https://github.com/gannonh/chatgpt-pgvector (using node.js)

Thank you for your attention and suggestions. I have looked into it before, but found it to be quite complicated, so I haven't delved into it further for now. I may try to implement it in the future, but I'm not sure when. Thanks again!

This is actually quite trivial to do, you don't need a vectordb for that stuff, you can just write all of that(text & embeddings) into a single json file and it will still scale to 100.000's of notes easily.

I'll give it a shot if the contribution part of the readme works.

Edit:

Doesn't work, I'm out.

That -2 makes it seem like your webpack.dev.js file couldn't be found.
