Hot take: obsidian is a terrible form factor for an AI 2nd brain. GBrain is functionally best option, but non-technical users can’t reconcile that they can’t “see” what the AI knows. Very soon, something like @nessielabs will become the top 2nd brain option.

TLDR; GBrain gives AI agents synthesis + gap analysis, a self-wiring typed knowledge graph, hybrid search, and a nightly dream cycle; all on top of your existing .md files. Obsidian is great for human eyes, GBrain is built for agents.
