LLM Knowledge Bases: a practical guide — Ben Holmes, Warp
Aug 12, 2026 · 21:17
Ben Holmes, Developer Relations Lead at Warp, demonstrates how to turn a disorganized folder of voice-dictated notes into a browsable, interconnected knowledge base using LLM agents. He argues that voice dictation at 200 words per minute is the fastest capture method, recommending local tools like Handy and Voice Ink to avoid subscriptions. Holmes explains his 'enrich note' skill, which timestamps files, assigns tags from a fixed list to prevent Claude from inventing new ones, researches sources via web search, and adds backlinks through key term search. He then shows how to generate wikis from a Karpathy gist, grouping people, concepts, and organizations, and automates the entire pipeline on a daily schedule using Obsidian's headless CLI in a cloud sandbox via Oz.dev. Finally, he demonstrates asking an agent to build an HTML and Tailwind graph view of all notes, revealing clusters of interests and gaps in thinking.
