How to choose
Match the agent to your stack: Obsidian users should start with 4723; desktop workers need 16319. Check whether you require team video support (14337) or full self-hosting (1500). Pricing varies from free open-source to paid dashboards; watch for agents that only export rather than maintain live knowledge graphs. Test semantic search quality on your actual note volume before committing.
