Building upon the existing import/export capabilities, I’m hoping to see more robust integration options with popular database (Obsidian) and note-taking platforms (Notion), notably those which offer AI tools and assistants. I would like to use AI to analyze, exploit, and enhance my data from Aeon Timeline, as I want to work with the support of these AIs (it has become a must-have for me). This has become an essential complement to Aeon Timeline’s functionality. Currently, I find myself constantly copying and pasting between various platforms, despite some of them already offering numerous integrations with other tools. Streamlined integration would significantly enhance my workflow and productivity.

Right now that sort of sync-function is really only with Scrivener and Ulysses, but I do hope that we get similar things for Obsidian in the future. I know a lot of folk use Notion too, but I can’t comment since I could never get into it.
AI to look at our stuff is an interesting concept. I wonder if it’s good enough not to mix things up by mistake yet.
I use Obsidian daily for novel writing (and other things) because I can organize information any way I want, including not organizing it if that suits.
I like the idea of syncing AT3 with Obsidian, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around how it would work, exactly. As a user, wouldn’t I be forced in Obsidian to adopt whatever structure AT3 assumes, and if so, wouldn’t that diminish or defeat the usefulness of Obsidian’s flexibility?
I’m not asking rhetorically. Since I use both, I genuinely want to understand what others see as the potential in syncing these two apps.
So I’m thinking it would sync along the lines of how it works with Scrivener. The narrative would have a folder and subsection, and other Types would have their folders and page too.
For the extra details I’d make it into Properties. Like the metadata in Scrivener. So for relationships you might just have:
Father: John
If we want to get a bit more fancy, make the other in the relationship (John) a hyperlink too.
Father:
- “John”
(Don’t remember off the top of my head if that’s the right format, but I think so)
You would need to add it as YAML at the beginning of the pages.
If that could work, and sync, it would be perfect. Unsure if possible, but I still would love it. For now I’ve returned to Scrivener because of this limitation, and it works fine, but I miss the plug-ins and extra bits.

I see where you’re going with that. I especially like the idea of populating YAML (aka Properties) in Obsidian with data from AT3.
I would have to retool much of what I’ve set up in Obsidian, but it would be worth it to have round-trip syncing between the apps.
