Obsidian Copilot September Updates: Miyo, Live Relevant Notes, and a Secret New Feature

Obsidian Copilot September updates: Miyo and Live Relevant Notes

It's been over a month since v4 launched, and your enthusiasm has kept our Discord busier than ever. Check out what we announced and update to the latest version to try a more powerful and reliable Copilot experience.

Our v4 promo is still live. Grab your 20% license discount by September 14 (Pacific Time), before the price goes back up.

Today, let's look at our companion app Miyo and what it brings to Copilot. Stick around to the end for a demo of a secret feature we've had up our sleeve.

Miyo replaces Copilot's old in-plugin indexing with a more reliable search engine. It helps agents find notes by meaning, even when all you have is a vague idea. Fewer searches can mean faster answers and fewer tokens used.

Here's an example of an agent searching with and without Miyo.

You can connect Miyo with Copilot from the settings.

Live Relevant Notes

Miyo now brings related notes into view as you read and write docs, or type a question in Copilot. When you spot a useful connection, you can preview the note, add it to your note or as context to your chat.

What people say about Copilot V4

After successful initial tests, I can finally substitute my (always a bit awkward) Claude Code/Desktop based setup with an fully integrated workflow without losing any functionality. Moreover, everything works even better.

I was originally hesitant to move to V4. But its so good, so much better and very reliable to do what I intended (and often it outputs better than I expected). Although the old chat still works, I find that I just use agent mode now.

Hey there, just wanted to say that I’ve tried the new V4 preview with open code, Miyo, and ChatGPT Plus. I am blown away and I’m having no issues.
