I am attempting to export all of my notes on a regular basis and store them in a vector database for Retrieval Augmented Generation with an LLM.

In order to do this effectively, I need to be able to track notes regardless of the title of the note, which can change. From what I understand, each note has an underlying, static ID. I would love to be able to save the filename with that ID such that when I export, I am able to update the vector database with the new content regardless of changes to the title of the note.

Here is some AppleScript to get the id of a note: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68362500/get-id-of-selected-apple-note-in-applescript

Thank you for putting all the work into this! It's amazing!

Update: I noticed that it's on your Todo list! Hah! great minds and all that.
