Ubik is built to strengthen and speed up the research process. With powerful academic search and PDF annotation tools, Ubik's AI agents can find, cite, and highlight quotes in relevant academic papers.

Our core belief (my friend and I) is that AI should help bring out the best in humans. What does this mean?

Reading, annotating, and citing real work (PDFs)!

Upload, or search and add papers to your workspace. Our AI Agents can create notes that can be referenced contextually when prompting using the @ sign to increase accuracy and efficacy. Ubik helps turn ideas into high-level work with citations.

If you aren't writing research papers or don't need to search for academic sources, Ubik is still a great everyday, general AI workspace. With access to 20+ models, web search, a text editor (canvas), and unique PDF highlighting tools, Ubik helps humans develop critical thinking skills while using GenAI.

The goal of this app is to provide a comfortable native GUI for SQLite, without it turning into a massive IDE-style app.

The coolest features are

- That it can handle full altering of tables, which is quite finicky to do manually with SQLite.

- It has a more detailed display of column constraints than most editors. Each constraint is shown as an icon if active, with full details available on clicking the icon.

This update also adds support for attaching databases, which is a bit fiddly with macOS sandboxing.

I'd love to hear any feedback or answer any questions.","time":1756131458,"title":"Show HN: Base, an SQLite database editor for macOS","type":"story","url":"https://menial.co.uk/base/"}]]
