Selective context
Lava sees only the notes you explicitly reference in a conversation.
Now inviting a small closed beta
Think with the
notes you already trust.
Lava brings the ideas you have already captured into the conversation—so your Obsidian vault becomes active material for better thinking.
Free, limited usage during closed beta
Context on demand
Bring the right note into the right thought.
01
Mention what matters
Type @ and choose the note you want Lava to consider.
02
Lava reads it before answering
Only explicitly referenced notes become context. Nothing else in your vault is accessed.
03
Keep your momentum
Ask, connect, challenge, and continue—without leaving Obsidian.
Clear boundaries, clearly stated
AI, with your hand
on the dial.
Lava is useful precisely because its access is narrow, intentional, and easy to understand.
Read, don’t rearrange
It cannot edit, move, create, or delete anything in your vault.
No content retention
Referenced note content passes through Lava Cloud to an AI provider, but we do not store, read, or log that content.
Providers with a boundary
We use providers with no data retention that do not use your content to train AI models.
How selected context is handled: to answer your question, Lava sends only the notes you explicitly mention through its cloud service to carefully chosen AI providers—never your whole vault.
Lava closed beta
Help us make thinking with your notes feel natural.
We are inviting a small group of Obsidian users to shape Lava’s first release. Beta access includes free, limited usage while we learn together.
