# Gemmy - Obsidian Unhelper Not sure if an AI assistant is going to be helpful in your workflow? Don't worry, we've eliminated the guesswork for you because Gemmy is 100% going to be unhelpful. Introducing Obsidian's first assistant — Gemmy, the Obsidian Unhelper. It has two major features: ## Randomly saying things Gemmy seeks validation by randomly saying things every now and then. You can customize how often this happens. Or just don't summon Gemmy. ## Writing mode Gemmy pops out to [motivate you](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1171143/229297494-8a0cae3f-4c8e-47a9-801b-dd1c52dfc917.png) when you have stopped typing for long enough. Again, you can customize how long that should be. Risk: Gemmy might actually be helpful with writing if you use this mode. We're not responsible for any extra productivity Gemmy might bring. ## How to use Install Gemmy. There are four commands in the command palette when you type "Gemmy". You can figure out the rest on your own. --- Special thanks: [Rigmarole](https://rigmarolestudio.com/) for creating and animating Gemmy Credit: the talented Obsidian mods team, including argentum, CawlinTeffid, cotmax, Eleanor Konik, koala, Leah, rigmarole, ryanjamurphy & WhiteNoise The code is under MIT license, whereas the Gemmy character is under CC BY 3.0 license.
