In plain words
A Local-First Agentic Knowledge Manager is a work tool that runs locally on your computer rather than relying on cloud services. It uses agentic technology to help organize and manage knowledge. The system is designed for users who want to keep their information private and under their own control. The tool is available as open source code on GitHub, making it accessible for those comfortable working with developer platforms.

From the sources
Kept saves your AI conversations as local Markdown files, then gives you a desktop app to search, browse, connect, and reuse them. It works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Kimi. Your archive lives on your machine under ~/.kept/ , with an Obsidian-compatible vault plus local indexes for full-text search, topics, projects, and graph views. AI chats often become working memory: debugging trails, research notes, product decisions, prompts, snippets, and half-finished ideas. Most of that history stays inside vendor UIs. Chromium browser extension -> reads conversations from provider API endpoints using your signed-in session -> normalizes messages and supported image assets -> sends them…from github.com

OzBrain, a shared brain for knowledge between agents and your teamAug 2026 · ozbrain.com · ▲93I think agent-first chat interfaces will be a primary software modality and busy dashboard/UI will go away. I’m not sure who exactly wins it, but I want my knowledge to grow/go with me. A lot of the “knowledge” ie research, analysis, reasoning will be done by agents as the primary user. Our current notes tools & tasks management systems were built for humans… I don’t care what the 17th thing on my bug backlog is. I want to conduct agents that can execute for me and do great work. What I built OzBrain to do: + Create a central place for agent reasoned knowledge to live + Be agnostic…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
