An Obsidian plugin for AI-guided self-reflection and insight discovery.
Sometimes you need questions, not answers. Lantern probes gently, suggests softly, and in its slight light, sets thought aflame.
- Three conversation styles: Socratic Guide (philosophical, probing), Warm Therapist (empathetic, validating), or Direct Challenger (incisive, assumption-testing)
- Vault-aware context: Optionally pull context from specific folders to personalize the conversation
- Insight capture: Finish a session to generate a summary note with key insights and automatic links to related notes
- Flexible providers: Works with Anthropic API directly or via OpenRouter (supporting other models like GPT-4)
- Install and enable the plugin
- Open Settings → Lantern
- Choose your provider (Anthropic or OpenRouter)
- Enter your API key
- Optionally configure:
- Save folder for introspection notes
- Context folders to inform the conversation
- Default personality style
Click the brain icon in the ribbon or run the command Light the Lantern.
Share what's on your mind. The guide will reflect back observations and ask questions to help you go deeper. When you feel you've reached clarity, click Finish to save your insights.
