Letting an AI agent use your vault
Pellet can open a small connection on your own computer that lets an AI assistant or a script work with your notes and tasks.
It is off until you turn it on, and it never leaves your machine.
What this is for
Section titled “What this is for”Things like: “add these six tasks from the meeting notes”, “find every note mentioning the Monterrey site and summarize them”, “make a task for each unticked checkbox in this week’s dailies”.
Work that’s tedious by hand and easy to describe.
Turning it on
Section titled “Turning it on”Settings → AI & automation. You get an address to give to the tool you’re using, and optionally a token it must present.
What it can reach
Section titled “What it can reach”Eighteen operations, in three groups:
- Tasks — list, read, create, update, delete, complete. Completing understands repeats, so an agent finishing a recurring task does the right thing rather than just ticking it.
- Notes — list, read, create, update, delete, rename, list tags. Reading a note gives its content plus what links to it.
- Boards — list groups and boards, create and delete boards, move a task to a column.
What it deliberately cannot reach
Section titled “What it deliberately cannot reach”Your calendar accounts. Pellet has calendar sync, and it is not exposed here. An agent working on your vault cannot see your meetings, create events, or touch your Google or Apple account.
The safety of it
Section titled “The safety of it”- It only listens to your own computer. Nothing on the internet can reach it — not with the address, not with the token.
- You can require a token, so other software on your machine can’t use it by accident.
- It’s off by default, and switching it off closes it immediately.
Desktop only
Section titled “Desktop only”iOS doesn’t let an app listen for connections, so this exists on macOS, Windows and Linux only.
