We built an app called Hatch It enables Karpathy's entire LLM Knowledge Base workflow out of the box, in 2 or 3 clicks, in a single interface. No need to stitch together Obsidian + plugins + markdown files + custom tools + etc. Hatch is an AI workspace where... files, docs, and chats all live together. Not only can the chats READ files and docs, but they can WRITE and ORGANIZE them as well. This means you can set up an LLM Wiki in literally 3 steps, as I show in this video.show more

You can try Hatch free here: (DM me for a discount code!)

We built Hatch months before Karpathy posted about LLM wikis. And IMO wikis aren't even the best uses case for Hatch. e.g. I wake up every day & chat "@ plan my day", and Hatch looks at my projects, my journal, my mission and writes a personal agenda for me (etc)

make it locally hosted

Maybe in the future! Currently we're optimizing for teams, i.e. you can invite others to your workspace and collaborate with them in real time. Many small teams are using Hatch today. Also… it's lightning fast with offline mode for documents :)

Most of these shine in demos but break down when you need them to work together. Have you found any that actually integrate well, or does switching between 12 tools kill the productivity gains?

Check out my sidebar in the demo video: You can see that I've been using this app rigorously for months and months (at 2:26 in the vid, I even show my personal journal with daily entries spanning 100s of weeks). We (plus other teams) have been stress testing Hatch for months

Check out OpenKB: Open LLM Knowledge Base In addition to Karpathy's design, OpenKB can scale to long PDFs and multi-modality.

In a world of @zocomputer , openclaw and @perplexity_ai computer, doesn’t this just get you like 20% of the way there to building a custom ai computer environment? Just not seeing why I’d use this in tandem with personal ai systems. But open to understanding how you think it fits.

Yay! Been waiting to hear what you guys have been working on. This is a great tool! Hope yous are really successful with it!

Oops, DMing you was on my todo list. But yes, here's the new product!

Haha. No worries! I'm sure my DM was not the high priority on your todo list with launching a new product. Hatch looks great btw. After just 2 minutes of poking around and taking the onboard tour i can see this being SUPER useful for users (and myself). Price is really good spot too. How is its coding chats?

> i can see this being SUPER useful for users (and myself). Great to hear! Happy to do a live onboarding call at any time to help with stuff (DM) > How is its coding chats? We didn't design it for coding tasks tbh. Claude Code and Codex have that market covered

Hey Channing! Do you need creators to scale your brand organically? Run a creator academy and would love to set you up with some of our best for free. Sent you a DM

Thanks for reaching out but I'm already connected to lots of creators organically :)

love this. there's a parallel approach forming for people who want to stay in their existing editor/agent setup instead of a new app — same karpathy pattern, plain markdown on disk, your MCP client does the writing. built one called meshnote. npx meshnote init ./brain the fact that two of us shipped this in the same week tells you the karpathy post hit a nerve

Congratulations on meshnote! But we've been working on Hatch for almost a year. The capabilities outlined by @karpathy are only a subset of the use cases made possible with Hatch :)

congrats on the year of work, that shows in the demo. and yeah, hatch and meshnote are clearly aiming at different shapes of this — hatch as a full workspace, meshnote as the thin layer for people who already live in their terminal and editor. different audiences, same karpathy gravity well. good week to be in this category

Love that everything you build has such attention to design and functionality. So excited to see this launched publicly 🎉

Thanks Marissa! Means a lot coming from an AI/productivity expert!

You don't need to stich together the tools. AI is doing that for you. Critical information such as this should be held locally. And it's easier than ever now. No need for SaaS.

We've actually made a similar format in terminal based of Karpathy's idea of LLM Knowledge Bases. Give it a spin and let me know what you think:

How long did it take you to build it?

~9 months but we're just getting started

Wow! Where are you speaking for nyc tech week? Did I miss ya?

Yep, did a panel at Port Sa'id!

Going to try it

Baked in! I love that

Really great feel to this UI!

Thank you! Literally spent months designing and polishing it… and still have lots of work to do!

Why pay for something ???

@stibbons31 Because the value of the service exceeds the value of the money

It takes about as long to just set it up normally with Claude code lol...

@hawktrader @Karpathy's LLM wiki system requires other tech on top of CC, incl Obsidian as an IDE and tools for search, etc. Hatch includes all of this functionality out of box in a single app, while being accessible to non-technical folks unfamiliar with CLI tools.

@karpathy Yeah, and it takes like 5 mins to install of it lol

@karpathy but I get it, we all gotta make a living... but bro.. I don't think the non technical user is going to leverage Karpathy's LLM wiki :)

@hawktrader @karpathy why are you like this

@karpathy Probably because I am jealous as its a good idea 😇

knowledge bases need active organization.

Not on Hatch! The AI handles all the organization like a librarian who disappears between rows of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and emerges with the book you requested.

Web based? In the “cloud”?

You got it

How useful is this @grok?

Thanks Channing.

Any time Rampage

Hatch looks awesome bro! Do you have a github I can make a pf with? Would love to send a donation to help fund this

@0xJuicy__ The product is already live w/ customers! Feel free to DM me for a discount code!

Awesome bro! Can you link me your github so I can make a pf and send you a personal donation? I love what you're building and I'd like to help out :)

the unbundling of the ide continues... soon we"ll just have a number of hyperspecific ai workspaces instead of one monolithic editor!

Yes, exactly! 👌

this is the right idea. the karpathy knowledge base workflow is powerful but the setup friction kills adoption. making it 2-3 clicks is the move.

then wat bro

the real product is not “LLM knowledge base.” it’s removing the 14-tool shame stack people quietly duct-taped together after reading Karpathy once. workflow collapse is the feature.

Someone made you a bankr token where you can claim fees to help fund the project 0x9efa7a09fba99283132234b9c30bbbea785e6ba3

Thanks for sharing

@homeMetaX

Are you storing everyone’s personal wiki data? seems like a massive privacy concern.

Yes, and we're quite transparent about our policies and the risks involved:

Hey Channing. I sent an email a while back but you didn't seem to get it

this is the mother of vibe coded apps

it's not vibe coded
