I introduced it to my non-technical wife who was stressed about our daughter's upcoming exam. Within an hour, she gained clarity on her mindset and next steps, finding calm and confidence.
Leo T

PKM Practitioner

It's the first tool I've tried that actually makes 'thinking in Obsidian' feel fluid. I've been using it regularly and genuinely want to be a long-term supporter. I'm excited about what you're building.
Andrew Xu

Copilot for Obsidian feels like the perfect tool to streamline my note-taking, increase productivity, and enable me to connect ideas more efficiently. Thank you for developing such a fantastic tool.
Sven Wusthoff

Global VP of Shared Services

Massive fan of your work. You're onto something big here.
Marcus Webb

Software Engineer

I dump architecture decisions, PR notes, and meeting summaries into Obsidian. Copilot recently surfaced a design decision I made 8 months ago that was directly relevant to a current bug. That alone paid for the subscription.
Elena Vasquez

Independent Consultant

Client knowledge doesn't live in my head—it lives in my vault. Copilot lets me walk into any engagement and instantly surface insights from previous clients facing the same challenges. It's changed how I deliver value.
Dr. Sarah Chen

Research Scientist

Asking questions across 5 years of annotated papers and research notes has completely changed how I approach new work. It's like having a conversation with my past self. No other tool comes close for academic workflows.
James Park

Product Manager

My vault is my product brain—user research, competitor analysis, roadmap rationale. Copilot lets me ask 'what did users say about X in Q3?' and get a real answer. The institutional memory you can't keep in your head.
