Notebook LM gives you a conversation. Atomic Agent gives you a card catalog.
Turns your PDF library into a verified Obsidian card catalog — atomic notes with anchor verification, citation fidelity, and tier classification. Open-source, your API key, your data.
Early development — CLI tool, Obsidian plugin coming.
- Extracts atomic concept notes from PDFs
- Verifies every citation anchor against the original text
- Classifies sources (CrossRef, OpenAlex, Retraction Watch)
- Writes directly into your Obsidian vault with wikilinks and PDF jump links
- Model-agnostic: Claude, GPT-4o, local models via Ollama
