In one sentence
Kition is an AI workspace that runs on your own machine. Documents stay as `.md` on disk, structured tables sit in the same vault, and the AI agent can actually read files, run commands, and drive a browser — it does not just answer questions.
Why it is not just another note app
Most note tools either lock data in the cloud (Notion, Roam) or treat AI as a decoration (Obsidian plugins, Evernote sidebar). Kition inverts both: data is local, AI is first-class.
"Local-first" means even if we disappear, any Markdown editor still opens your notes. "First-class agent" means it can patch files, run tests, and scrape pages — not just stream markdown into a chat window.
What you can try in 5 minutes
- Download the app and pick a folder as your vault
- Configure a model (OpenAI, Anthropic, or AiApiy all work)
- Ask the agent to organize a Markdown doc
- Ask the agent to save a web article into your vault
- Try an AI field in a table — one row, fields auto-fill
