Reviewed: https://zby.github.io/commonplace/agent-memory-systems/revie... It is the second llm wiki on frontpage today! I wish the scene was more collaborative - instead of everyone writing their own. But I guess this is the llm curse - too easy to start. I am afraid it will all go in the LangChain direction with VC funding designs that are not yet ready solidifying choices that would normally be superseded.

What's the other one? I cannot find it.

Probably this one (Tolaria) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47882697

They keep adding this “cloud of dots” where each dot represents a concept or something you wrote, and they are linked to other dots… sure it’s pretty the first time you see it, but it’s not useful at all beyond that

but there are a lot of them

Lots of good ideas and divergent methods and sources here cheers for the link

Generally curious, how is this different from pointing Claude Cowork at an Obsidian Vault?

Biggest difference is Atomic leverages an LLM to auto-tag and a text embedding pipeline to drive semantic search - so the knowledge base is self-organizing. The bet here is that having an agent grep the filesystem is fine for a carefully curated, relatively small set of markdown files. It starts to degrade if you approach your knowledge base as a place to put everything: personal notes, articles you find interesting,…

Does the LLM auto-tagging and embedding pipeline run on the device, or are they remote calls?

I feel like most of these applications all boil down to "Obsidian but with AI integration baked in up front". It'd be interesting to see approaches that actually rethink commonplaces of the experience (graph view etc) rather than just reproduce the same thing but "with ai"
