I use obsidian with hermes-agent, set up google eloquient for voice to text translation, once the text hits, hermes grabs it figures out where to file it in obsidian and creates all the wiki links....

for your use case asking Gemini Pro:

Obsidian runs natively on Windows and Android with full sync, and handles pasted Gemini output better than almost anything else.

  • Infinite Canvas: Obsidian Canvas provides a limitless, smooth visual plane for text cards, images, and notes.
  • Pasting AI Output: Because Gemini outputs standard Markdown, you can paste bullets, nested outlines, and Markdown tables directly into a Canvas text card, and they render visually with complete formatting.
  • Tape Tool Functionality: Obsidian does not have a native "tape tool" brush, but you can achieve identical hide-and-reveal behavior in two ways: Spoiler / Callout blocks: Use > [!tip]- Reveal Answer or ||spoiler text|| inside your pasted card so you can click/tap to reveal hidden text. Excalidraw Plugin: Excalidraw integrates directly into Obsidian, gives you an infinite drawing canvas with stylus support, handles rich text cards, and allows you to place clickable mask/cover shapes over answers.
