AI Summarization In Obsidian

[geoffreysflaminglasersword]

Requires:

python
sumy

Set up the following user functions in templater settings:

powershell -command "& { sumy text-rank --length=$Env:sumylen --url='$Env:sumyurl'}"

powershell -command "& { sumy text-rank --length=$Env:sumylen --file='$Env:sumyfile'}"

Should look like this:

And finally, create these templates:

function.summarize.file

<%*
let percentages = ["5%", "13%", "21%","33%","54%"];
let perc = await tp.system.suggester(percentages, percentages);
let path = tp.file.path().replace(/\//gm, "\\"); // fix mismatch between forward and backward slash in path

let summary = await tp.user.sumy_file({sumylen: perc, sumyfile: path });
let content = await tp.file.content;
this.app.vault.modify(tp.file, " ") ;

tR = '# Summary\n<% tp.file.cursor() %>'+ summary + '\n\n' + content ;
%>

function.summarize.selection

<%*
// passing plain text on cmd (vie the --text sumy flag) could have issues with escape characters, so we'll create a temp file instead

let temp = "__tempsummaryfile.md__"
let tempPath = this.app.vault.adapter.getBasePath() + "\\" + temp
let tempFile = await this.app.vault.create(temp, ''); 

await this.app.vault.modify(tempFile, tp.file.selection());

let summary = await tp.user.sumy_file({sumylen: '50%', sumyfile: tempPath});
tR = summary;

await this.app.vault.delete(tempFile, true); 
%>

function.summarize.clipboard

# Summary
[Source](<% tp.system.clipboard() %>)
<%*
let percentages = ["5%", "13%", "21%","33%","54%"];
let url = await tp.system.clipboard()
let perc = await tp.system.suggester(percentages, percentages);
tR = tR + await tp.user.sumy_url({sumylen: perc, sumyurl: url });
%>

I banged my head a long time to get this to work. Eventually I had to remove the single quotations marks from the user functions, so they were:
powershell -command "& { sumy text-rank --length=$Env:sumylen --url=$Env:sumyurl}"
and
powershell -command "& { sumy text-rank --length=$Env:sumylen --file=$Env:sumyfile}"
