Logseq AI
Open-source knowledge base and note-taking tool with built-in AI features.
What is Logseq AI?
Open-Source Knowledge Base with Built-In AI
Logseq is an open-source, local-first knowledge base and note-taking tool that organizes information in an outline-based, block-level graph structure. All notes are stored as plain Markdown or Org-mode files on your own device, ensuring complete data ownership and privacy. AI features, added through plugins and the developing Logseq AI module, enhance the core knowledge graph with smart search, content generation, and summarization capabilities.
Privacy-First Knowledge Graph
Unlike cloud-dependent note tools, Logseq stores everything locally — files you own, in formats you can read without Logseq. Its bidirectional linking and graph view create a personal knowledge graph where ideas connect naturally over time. The open-source community has built a rich ecosystem of plugins including AI integrations that bring ChatGPT, Claude, and other models into the Logseq workflow without sacrificing local-first privacy.
- Local-first storage in plain Markdown files
