What is Obsidian?
Obsidian is a note-taking and knowledge management app that stores content as plain Markdown files in a local folder called a vault. Notes are connected with links, and the graph view shows how topics relate to one another. Because the data is open text files, the knowledge base is easy to version, search and share with other tools, including AI agents.
How we use it at Koda Plus
In our web application for the insulation company Wekert, the company knowledge base in Obsidian is the brain of the admin panel, while the website and panel run on Next.js and React. We rely on a knowledge base ourselves too: KODA Vault holds hundreds of pages of standards, playbooks and decisions from real implementations, which AI agents receive at the start of every project. The graph on our website presents that knowledge base in the style of Obsidian’s graph view.
