Enzyme, by Joshua Pham: a local compiler that guides agents through your notes

Point it at a folder of Markdown (an Obsidian vault, meeting notes, an agent's memory) and it builds a local index. Rather than summarising, it drafts questions from your recent notes and lets each one pull in related passages from across the years, so an agent can trace a thread through thousands of notes. A short .enzyme program sets what it should notice. It ships as one binary under 30 MB with its embedding model inside, open source under Apache 2.0.
