As someone who uses Notion on the free plan, does Obsidian work better than Notion with local AI tools?

Obsidian is just a client that uses markdown files stored locally, so yes, since the files are typically on the same machine as the agent harness

And are exposed as local files stored in documented, stable, and sane paths.

Their sync is good too, in my limited experience.

Sync is good, but they also have a great git plugin. One big advantage of local text based notes is that you can just source control them and set up quick shortcuts to commit, push and pull; as well as setting up automations to do that automatically when you open the app.

This is highly dependent on the user (Mine is a god damn mess) :D.
