LiKE vs Obsidian
Obsidian is a local-first app for personal notes: Markdown files on your machine, graph view, plugins. LiKE is a cloud knowledge engine for teams: shared spaces, real-time co-editing, and AI answers with cited sources — for your team and your customers. Many people happily use both.
Personal vaults capture thinking. Teams need answers
Personal vaults capture thinking. Team knowledge has a different job: answering questions — for colleagues and customers.
Team answers — not just personal recall
Obsidian’s search and graph are built for one brain. LiKE is built for a team asking questions: the AI answers from your shared knowledge base and cites the exact articles it used — in the portal, in Slack and Telegram, and on your website.
- Sources cited under every answer
- Multilingual teams: ask in one language, get answers from articles written in another
- Gap Alerts: see the questions your base failed to answer
- Search history & recommendations
Publish answers, not just pages
A published site shows pages; visitors still have to read them. LiKE’s widget answers their question directly from your public docs — embedded on your site with one script tag, Shadow-DOM isolated, themeable, API-key secured.
- Light / dark / auto themes
- Slack & Telegram bots run on the same engine
- Scoped: the widget sees only what you allow
Capture thoughts by voice — get articles
Dictate on the go. LiKE transcribes and structures voice notes into clean articles — protocols, how-tos, checklists — strictly what was said, nothing invented. Your quick capture habit, upgraded to shared knowledge.
- Meeting protocols with decisions & agreed tasks
- Key points in one click
- Share by link or e-mail
Your Markdown is welcome here
LiKE imports Markdown directly — drop in your notes and they become team articles. If your vault lives in a Git repository, connect it through the GitHub or GitLab sync and LiKE will keep answering over it as it evolves. And everything exports back to Markdown at any time — no lock-in.
- File import: .md, .txt, .docx, .pdf, .rtf
- Vault in Git? Sync read-only via GitHub / GitLab connector
- Export articles back to Markdown, HTML, PDF, DOCX anytime
- Keep Obsidian for personal notes — LiKE for the team layer
