Open standard
In 2026, Google published the Open Knowledge Format (OKF) — an open, vendor-neutral standard for the knowledge AI agents need. We were already building it.
If you've used Obsidian, Notion, Hugo, or any of the LLM wiki patterns that have emerged over the past year, the shape will feel familiar. OKF formalizes the small set of conventions needed to make these patterns interoperable.
OKF is small on purpose. These are the conventions that make your knowledge portable, governable, and readable by any model.
Absolutely — the format is open, and that's the point. What we deliver is the working system: the audit, the import, encrypted sync on every device, the agent, and a clean handover — live in days, not weekends.
OKF treats organizational knowledge the way engineering teams treat source code — git-native, auditable, diffable.
Plain markdown + YAML front-matter in a git repository — the canonical shape for knowledge AI agents can read. Your entire vault exports with a single git clone.
The vault's manifest registers into BigQuery and Knowledge Catalog for governance and discovery — every note becomes a catalogued, queryable asset.
Every change to your knowledge lands as a plain-text diff — reviewable and revertible, like code.
