TeamBrain

Inspiration

No current solutions for teamwork in Obsidian exist. As a result, teams resort to other services - such as Notion. Our multimodal approach aims to solve this!

What it does

An end to end flow using embeddings, clustering and RAG is used to merge, standardise, and query notes. The service is fully self hosted, so privacy is a first-class citizen.

How we built it

first parse and process our markdown files
break them down into chunks
tag our files and chunks based on their function
cluster the tagged chunks and markdown files into new potential markdown file candidates
suggest wikilink style links to connect the note files semantically
draft the new notes taking into consideration the relevant markdown file contents

Challenges we ran into

Managing the variance in note formats across different users and finding an efficient way to align them without.
Ensuring smooth integration with Obsidian while maintaining performance and data privacy also required us to implement a caching and syncing mechanism.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Having an integrated product which is seamlessly integrated into Obsidian. We simplify the note-taking process for teams, saving time and reducing the mental overhead of merging various note formats. This allows teams to efficiently and easily share knowledge

What we learned

We learned how to better optimise LLM-based workflows for small, self-contained environments like Obsidian and balance the trade-off between model complexity and resource usage.
