AI-enhanced parsing (Pro)
Section titled “AI-enhanced parsing (Pro)”Toggle the AI checkbox in the modal header. The AI understands your vault context: your projects, recent tags, and current file. It resolves ambiguous dates, suggests better project matches, and cleans up the description.
Results show with an “AI” badge. Falls back to local parsing if the AI call fails.
