Using Zettelkasten with Agents
How structured note-taking with Zettelkasten became the memory layer for my AI agents, and how it saves me tokens, time and money.

How structured note-taking with Zettelkasten became the memory layer for my AI agents, and how it saves me tokens, time and money.

Introducing Qlawkus, a set of Quarkus extensions for building personal AI agents in Java: memory that鈥檚 automatically injected, procedural skills, voice-enabled messaging, and composition via agent.yml.

Build an AI agent that calls real REST APIs as tools, without writing any orchestration logic. REST Client + @Tool = automatic tool. The LLM decides when to call, which to call, and with what arguments. Everything runs locally with Ollama via Dev Services, zero API key.

I built the same AI app with LangChain4j, Spring AI, and Quarkus LangChain4j. One of them took 92 lines. The others took 192 and 180.
