This step‑by‑step tutorial shows how to install Obsidian, add the Claudian plugin, configure Claude Code with DeepSeek V4 via the CC Switch desktop tool, and enable local AI‑powered search and summarisation across your markdown notes.
The article compares three practical approaches—using a Terminal plugin, community AI plugins (lightweight Text Generator or full‑vault Claudian Agent), and an external AI editor—to integrate AI into Obsidian, detailing installation steps, command examples, pros and cons, and guidance on selecting the best fit for different use cases.
This guide explains what the Claudian plugin does, outlines its main advantages, shows how to configure model switching with cc-switch, provides a detailed four‑step manual installation process and a one‑click automation alternative, and demonstrates the resulting AI‑powered note‑taking experience.
