This functionality was created with the idea to be able to quickly create fully portable and sharable notes
Reveal in File Explorer: Use AI Notes: Reveal in File Explorer to quickly locate your note in the workspace.
The idea here was to allow you to easily open the ondrive share option if you are using the OneDrive as a backup storage solution.
Browse Notes by Tag: Open the "AI Notes by Tag" view in the Explorer sidebar to see your notes grouped by tags.
Known Issues
The VS Code LM API is only available in certain environments (e.g., VS Code Insiders with the right extension).
It might be a bit buggy
SAP AI Core requires a valid service key and model.
