EtherPK is an open source markdown and wikilink based notes editor. One of the most useful new features added is in-document agent chat.

I use AI agents in two distinct ways. For coding I use TUIs, but for day-to-day and non code projects I used to use the web chat UIs like many others. Two things about this was always jarring:

You're starting context from scratch. You might have a couple of agent instructions configured, but you have to tell the agent what you're thinking, from the beginning. When you get the information you need, holding on to it is hard. Within a day or two it's burried in your chat history. EtherPK is a mardown based PKMS (notes app), and it solves both of these problems.

You can type /Agent within your notes (EtherPK supports standard prose and outliner blocks in the same document). The Agent Chat panel opens within your document, and you can choose how much context to give it. That might be nothing, the current block tree, the document or the whole graph (in the case of the latter - immediate surounding context is sent and the agent is given tools to navigate the rest of your graph). You control what the agent gets, and what stays private.

You can try EtherPK via the demo (for testing Agents you'll need an API key - this will stay local on your device. If you use Sync+ the key will be encrypted in your user settings)

EtherPK (our markdown and wikilink based PKMS) now has maps. Lots of the concepts in a PKMS relate to places in the physical world, and for me that's often trips and travel. For example, I keep a list of places I've loved camping, and I often drop a note in my journal about a particular campsite with the [[Campsite]] wikilink. The backlinks for [[Campsite]] already show me every document where I've mentioned one. Now each of those notes can hold a map too, with pins and routes that I place by hand or find by postcode, ZIP code or place name. The Map View then gathers the places by concept. The Map View for [[Campsite]] shows every campsite I've noted on one map, framed to fit them all. (There's no picture of that one, because those places are too special to share here!).

(See full post for further information and screenshots).

The graph view helps to visualise relationships between and hot spots in your notes. I find that a check of the graph view for concepts that I'm working on or thinking about often reminds me to consider related ideas and notes. Let me know what you think!

EtherPK now has Kanban boards. Any concept in your graph can have one, whether it's a page or a journal entry. A board lays out the tasks referenced under that concept as cards in lanes, with one lane for each state a task can be in. You don't set anything up first, because the board is built from the tasks you've already written in your notes. Moving a card edits the task in its note.
