agent-library vs Observer

agent-library: Agent Library provides AI agents with persistent storage for text, documents, and knowledge using SQLite with vector search (sqlite-vec) and full-text search (FTS5). It supports hybrid search combining semantic and keyword matching, configurable embedding models, and offers both CLI and MCP server interfaces for integration.; Observer: Observer lets you build micro-agents that watch your screen, camera, microphone or clipboard and run a small local model on a loop. When the model spots a condition, JavaScript tool code sends a notification (email, Discord, Telegram, SMS, WhatsApp), records a clip or writes to memory.
