Rationale
Basic Memory is a knowledge management system that allows users to build a persistent semantic graph from conversations with AI assistants, stored in standard Markdown files on their computer. It integrates directly with Obsidian.md and supports local-first storage. The system allows AI assistants to load context from local files, create and read notes, and search for information, aligning with AI file chat and semantic search. While it stores files locally, it also mentions integration with Claude Desktop, implying a form of cloud interaction or at least a connection to an external AI service. The emphasis on 'local-first' and 'everything stays in files you control' strongly suggests privacy controls. The 'How It Works in Practice' section demonstrates the AI creating and updating notes, which implies a form of manual approval workflow as the user can see and interact with the generated files. The 'Local File Access' feature is directly supported by the description of storing files on the user's computer.
