Brevilabs
Tools for any AI agent to access and manage your personal context
On Brevilabs
Brevilabs builds AI tools that work alongside humans, with a focus on privacy and local control. Its flagship is Copilot for Obsidian, an AI agent that lives inside your Obsidian vault and can read PDFs, images, and web pages without sending your data to the cloud. It bundles its own chat and embedding models so you don’t need to bring your own API keys, and it offers project-based QA modes plus inline edits and batch agentic composition.
If you live in Obsidian and want an AI agent that respects your privacy and doesn’t force you to manage API keys, Brevilabs Copilot is a solid pick. It’s not a general-purpose AI chatbot—it’s an Obsidian sidekick that can read your PDFs and YouTube videos, keep everything local, and switch contexts with project-based QA modes. The free tier is generous; the paid tiers unlock priority features without breaking the bank.
