Hey HN!

I've been working on knowledge / memory / retrieval tooling for AI + human interaction for a few months now.

Then, just a few days ago Andrej Karpathy posted the subject on X and I felt like this would be a good time to get it out there https://x.com/karpathy/status/2039805659525644595

The short pitch in my view is "Second Brain, for agents, or humans, or a mix of both".

I've been using it personally for a while now, as the tooling has evolved, especially for access to my obsidian notes just like karpathy talks about (read some places, write others etc.). Especially handy when your vault is littered with PDF's and screenshots like mine.

It's also a problem I've worked with a bunch in the enterprise, trying to connect AI & SaaS tools to disparate sources of knowledge, extracting contents from them, making them effectively retrievable, and then controlling the levels of write-back tolerated by agents across different spaces.

I've put as much work as I can into extensive documentation for v0.1, but I'm sure there's lots of improvements needed and some video tutorials & screenshots to follow up with to give some concrete use case examples.

For now, if you're interested in what I think is the most common example (docker self-hosted instance), here is a subfolder with that setup and some inline explainer comments: https://github.com/akunasoftware/akuna/tree/main/examples/co...

If you're interested but the lack of native installer support is a barrier for you, I'd love to get some prioritisation feedback on where to put those efforts. I have some work-in-progress locally but would like to know which platforms to focus on first besides the existing support.

Thanks for taking the time, hope it interests you as much as me, questions & feedback much welcome!
