Synthesize action
🤖 An AI action (#184). Combines the notes the current note links to ([[wikilinks]]) into a
single synthesis — the common threads, the tensions, and what they add up to — via your configured AI
provider. Optional and off by default — see AI provider setup.
Options
- Result property — where the synthesis is written (default
synthesis). - Write to —
FrontmatterorContext(also exposed as{{property}}).
Result
A prose synthesis across the linked notes, plus a Notice with the number of sources used. Up to
five linked notes are read (best-effort — unresolved links are skipped). If no links resolve, the
action no-ops with nothing written. If AI is disabled or not configured, it no-ops with a clear notice
and makes no network request; a provider/network failure degrades to a notice with nothing written.
Capabilities
Unlike the other AI actions, synthesize reads the content of the notes this note links to (never
modifying them) and sends that content plus the note being built to the single AI endpoint you
configure (opt-in). No bundled key, no telemetry, no other endpoint. See
Capabilities & privacy.
