I am. I do something like that, in fact, using Obsidian, though I dump the entire obsidian directory tree into an API call to OpenAI when I want to ask questions or add to it rather than use any of the built in or community data aggregation functions, though I also have built a little mini-RAG so I can ask simple queries to a local model ("which file contains what happened on 062-1105, and summarize that?") where the larger models are better for larger scale and continuity questions ("Would this character already be aware of the events within the Palace the night before? Explain why or why not?")
