Show HN: Cabinet – Kb+LLM (Like Paperclip+Obsidian)

Hi HN, for quite some time I've been thinking how LLMs are missing the knowledge base, where I can dump CSVs, PDFs, and most important, inline web app. running on Claude Code (bring your own agent) with agents with heartbeats and jobs https://runcabinet.com It runs locally and is installable via npm. GitHub (open source): https://github.com/hilash/cabinet This is still very early. I put the first version together quickly after seeing a post by Andrej Karpathy about LLM knowledge bases, which matched closely with what I’d been building. Some people have already started trying it and opening PRs, which has been encouraging (got 374 stars in 2 days :] ) If useful: Waitlist for a hosted version: https://runcabinet.com/waitlist Discord (small, but growing): https://discord.gg/rxd8BYnN Would really appreciate feedback: does this “KB + agents” model make sense? what would you expect from a system like this? where does this fall apart? Happy to answer anything. Hila

I love this idea! I agree that LLMs often don't have the knowledge that's actually important (a frustration I have with ChatGPT is that it remembers unimportant things and then over-indexes on them in its responses).

why is this better than just using claude+obisidian?

really like the shipping of html apps inside knowledge bases, i can see a lot of very niche and useful internal tools being built to support a lot of custom workflows without leaving your actual knowledge base
