Cabinet: Free & Open-Source AI-First Knowledge Base

About

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 jobshttps://runcabinet.comIt runs locally and is installable via npm. GitHub (open source): https://github.com/hilash/cabinetThis 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/rxd8BYnNWould 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

does the knowledge base actually stay organized or turn into a junk drawer
