Our take

Obsidian Brain combines semantic search, graph-style knowledge access, and vault editing for Obsidian users, while avoiding a required in-app plugin. It is for people who want assistants to both retrieve and modify notes inside an existing knowledge system. The concept is practical and the no-plugin angle lowers friction, but the small public footprint suggests a specialized project rather than a mature standard.
