obsivault

Convert your AI chat exports into a tidy Obsidian Markdown vault. One note per conversation, YAML frontmatter, attachments copied into a sibling folder, and an idempotent state file so re-running only touches what changed.

Supported sources (v0.1):

• Claude (Settings -> Privacy -> Export). Reads conversations.json.
• Grok (Settings -> Data controls -> Export). Reads prod-grok-backend.json.
• ChatGPT (Settings -> Data controls -> Export). Reads the conversations.json tree.
• Gemini via Google Takeout (My Activity -> Gemini Apps and Gemini in Workspace). Reads the Workspace transcripts and, optionally, NotebookLM.

Install

From PyPI:

pip install obsivault

Or with uv:

uv tool install obsivault

From source (for development):

uv sync

uv run obsivault providers
uv run obsivault convert ./data/claude  ./vault --provider claude
uv run obsivault convert ./data/grok    ./vault --provider grok

Adding a provider

Drop a module under src/obsivault/providers/<name>.py with a class that implements Provider and is decorated with @register. The CLI auto-detects sources by calling each provider's discover().
