Consilience is a startup's ontology-based workspace app that uses AI agents for multi-hop reasoning over notes and files, with a local-first privacy approach and plans for web and cloud versions.
I think most people tried Notion or Obsidian but I noticed the limitations of those apps. The problem was always similar: Most of these notes app are based on keyword search. So essentially, a person would come up 10 times instead of being understood as a single one. The initial thought came because Palantir is based on Ontology but is inaccessible to broad public, so I thought why don't we make the concept accessible to everyone? So I started building Consilience. We are a startup based in Seoul, Korea now! The idea is simple to say and was painful to build. As you write notes, drop in files, or code, it quietly builds an ontology underneath everything. The input can be anything like your notes, lectures or even recordings. One agent sits on top of your knowledge graph and reasons over it. So instead of keyword search that only finds the exact words you typed, you can ask a real question and it does multi hop reasoning across everything you've built. It‘s fully Ontology based. That is the key difference to apps like Obsidian (because this is a common argument we hear:D). We also ran a bench mark and might publish the results in a paper. A few things that make it different: It's local first. Your notes and the graph live on your device, nothing trains on your data, and the agent asks before it does anything. It's one agent across notes, code, a design canvas, and even a map canvas that geocodes places into real coordinates. Not five separate tools bolted together. You can even track your favorite stocks now and enable Live Feeds. Your files stay plain markdown and standard formats. You can export them anytime. We have many users right now but we are now expanding the business and working on a new version. We are also now working on a co-working space. For now it's local but this week we are going to launch a web version, API, and a cloud service. It's free as a desktop app for macOS and Windows. Let us know what you think!
Odysseus is a self-hosted AI workspace that provides a local-first, privacy-focused alternative to ChatGPT and Claude, with features including chat, agents, deep research, document editing, memory, email triage, and more.
Notion announced a new developer platform that extends its custom AI agents with Workers, external data syncing, and agent orchestration, positioning itself as a hub for AI agent collaboration.
The author built AgentsHive, a shared workspace that coordinates multiple AI agents (like Claude and Codex) into a collaborative product team with roles, memory, and routing, allowing solo builders to avoid manually juggling separate agent workflows.
