What it does
OKF Utility is a free, single-purpose tool for working with Open Knowledge Format (OKF) bundles. OKF is a plain-text format for packaging what a team knows about a subject: the facts, the sources those facts came from, and the relationships between them. A bundle is portable, readable by people, and readable by AI agents.
The utility does five things:
- Generate a new bundle from a blank draft, with the required sections already in place.
- Import an existing web page or file (Markdown, MDX, text, CSV, JSON) and turn it into an editable draft.
- Convert between OKF and the formats your other tools expect.
- Validate a bundle against the format specification and show you exactly which fields are missing or malformed.
- Teach the format itself, with an inline reference so you never have to leave the page to look up a field.
Everything runs in the browser. URL imports use a small server-side fetch so public pages can be pulled without a proxy, but no data is stored, and there is no signup.
Who it's for
- Product marketers and content leads who maintain positioning, competitive notes, or persona research and want it in a format that survives tool changes.
- RevOps and GTM engineers who feed structured context into AI agents and need a validation step before anything is loaded.
- Founders and small teams building an institutional memory from scratch, without a knowledge-management platform.
If you have ever pasted a Notion page into a prompt and hoped the model would infer the structure, this is the fix for that habit.
How it works
- Start from a draft or an import. Open the utility, choose a blank bundle, or paste a URL or drop a file. Imports produce a draft, not a finished bundle.
- Review the extracted content. Check each fact, citation, and relationship the importer pulled out. Edit or delete anything that is wrong. Nothing is published until you say so.
- Validate. Run the validator. It lists every problem by field, so a 40-fact bundle with one bad source URL takes seconds to fix.
- Convert or export. Download the bundle as OKF, or convert it to the format the next tool in your workflow reads.
- Reuse. Drop the bundle into any agent or knowledge base that accepts structured context. The same file works everywhere.
The utility is deliberately narrow. It does not host your knowledge, index it, or run retrieval over it. It makes sure what you hand to those systems is correct.
