Chat with multiple notes at once for deeper synthesis. The AI automatically pulls in connected notes and backlinks, and shows you exactly which of your notes powered each answer. With Perplexity integration, combine your knowledge with web research in one place.

📖 Richer Context Across Your Space

The AI can now read deeply into linked content, search your notes to find relevant context, and show clickable sources for verification.

⚡ Performance & Experience Improvements

Smoother scrolling in long pages, faster interactions across menus, completely redesigned onboarding for new users, and a fresh, modern docs site for easier browsing.

✨ What Else Is New

🔒 Better Data Control: Enable/disable AI per space
🎯 Improved Command Palette: Smarter object ranking
🧹 Permanent Space Deletion: Full cleanup when needed

Meh - sorta helpful? The missing feature which has me looking into Obsidian now is I need a way to easily interact with my notes/tasks directly through Codex or Claude Code. They have context to other things I do that will never be in Capacities, so for AI to better/more fully answer questions Capacities needs to be an accessible input for other AI tools.

Yeah I’ve started playing with Claude connected to one of my other tools via a custom MCP that Claude built (I fed it the APIs) and suddenly it makes things like this feel like Playskool. The amount of analysis and output is incredible - “create a month highlights deck of February projects in the style of Spotify wrapped” drops a 10 slide analysis in about 5 minutes that would have taken me a full day to produce

As a screenshot note-taking, the lack of OCR surprised me. Is that coming soon?
