Is Obsidian just a graph of Markdown? Designing an AI-native second brain
NyeinChanSoe · reddit · 2026-09-03
A Reddit thread questioning whether Obsidian is fundamentally 'just a graph of linked Markdown files.' If AI agents can read/write Markdown, create links, search semantically and maintain context automatically, what does Obsidian itself add? The author asks whether the real value is the graph + UI or deeper usage patterns, and invites ideas on how one would design an AI-native second brain differently from scratch.
