core vs My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew
Self-hosted, always-on "personal AI OS": watches your apps, keeps a persistent memory graph, and acts autonomously within guardrails — a product, not a library for building agents. — versus — 8 AI agents + 14 skills that run your Obsidian vault through chat — capture, triage, search, linking, vault health, transcription, email and calendar. One codebase, four agent platforms, any language.
Both are self-hosted 'manage my life' AI systems with persistent memory: core is a product that watches your apps and acts within guardrails on its own memory graph; the Crew works entirely through your Obsidian vault, keeping the memory human-readable and human-editable.

core — the curator's take
Reach for CORE when you want an event-driven, self-hosted personal assistant that notices things on its own, remembers across sessions via a memory graph, and acts across your apps with per-action approval gates. NOT the pick if you want a framework to embed agents inside your own software (it's a product/OS, not a toolkit), nor if you need to run a multi-agent team/company with org charts and budgets — that's paperclip's lane.
My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew — the curator's take
Built from lived need — a PhD researcher whose memory was slipping — and it shows in the design: this is for people who are drowning, not optimizing. The chat IS the interface (no folder dragging), a dispatcher chains agents automatically (transcribe a meeting → Architect creates the project structure), it answers in whatever language you speak, and 'create a new agent' is a guided conversation, not a config file. Installs onto Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode or Codex from one source. NOT a note-taking plugin: it assumes you hand vault management over entirely, and email/calendar agents mean third-party data — read the disclaimers, they're unusually serious (GitHub reports no standard license; usage is Terms-of-Use gated). Pair judgment: rowboat is the app-shaped version of this idea; this is the vault-shaped one.
