Enzyme
Enzyme turns your Obsidian or markdown vault into a semantic graph that AI can explore. It maps your tags, links, and folder patterns into entities, tracks when you last engaged each thread, and generates catalysts—questions tuned to surface what's latent in your notes.

Catalyzing...
Lenses on your thinking, extracted in seconds. Here's what they see.
Enzyme compiles your knowledge base into a concept graph—before the conversation starts.
you ask "why did we change direction on the API?"
Keyword search
grep "change direction"2 grep "API pivot"0 grep "technical decision"1
3 files — if you guess the right words
Vector search
search query "API pivot reasons technical constraints"
3 files about the API — all from the same month
Enzyme
catalyst When does a technical constraint become the reason to stop asking what the real blocker was?
Reaches across the retro, the abandoned proposal from 8 months prior, and a journal entry that connects them

Early reactions
"Enzyme can surface connections I'd only make if I had instant recall... freeing me to use that energy to create and write... I think this is just the beginning."
life coach (NYC)
"Enzyme helps me build richer, more cohesive themes and think more deeply."
HCI researcher, ex-Spotify (Zurich)
"I have a workflow that I love with Readwise, Snipd, and Obsidian. Enzyme beats inertia by quickly drawing me deeper into the meaning of what I'm doing."

Run it once. After that, your agent sees through your notes, not just across them.
Works on any knowledge base. No conversation history required.
