Dear Heptabase User,
We’ve decided to start sharing our product updates on our Reddit community, alongside Discord. The forum-style format makes updates easier to search, browse, and revisit—without getting lost in an endless stream of messages. Feel free to come and share your thoughts on the product!
App: Web Tab
In the latest version of our desktop app, we’ve introduced Web Tab! You can now easily search Google or YouTube using Global Search (Cmd + O) or by clicking the New Tab button on the left sidebar, and open any website directly inside Heptabase as a web tab.
With Web Tab + AI Suggestions, you can browse a website and instantly see all your related notes — making it effortless to take notes side by side with the content you’re exploring.
With Web Tab + AI Chat, you can have a conversation with the website you’re viewing, then drag the most insightful messages onto your whiteboard for deeper thinking.
We’re not trying to compete with other browsers, and we have zero intention of building something like “AI that helps you book flights or hotels.” Instead, we created Web Tab because we believe that much of the world’s most valuable public knowledge lives on the web — and people should be able to open it directly in Heptabase, fully integrated into their learning and research workflow.
In the coming months, we’ll be releasing even more features to help you interact with public knowledge on the web — including an in-app web clipper, web cards, web highlights, and more. Stay tuned!
In the latest version, we’ve introduced AI-powered suggestions for related cards. Open the Card Library from the right sidebar and select the AI filter to see cards related to your current selected card. This feature works everywhere—whether you’re on a whiteboard, a tag, a journal, or a card tab.
We built this with a privacy-first approach. We self-host our AI embedding model, so all processing happens securely on our servers. Your notes remain fully yours and are never sent to big-tech providers.
PDF: Click the outline button to copy or add a chapter as context
In the latest version, you can easily copy the content of an entire chapter or section of a PDF card. You can also add it to the AI chat’s context with one click. We believe this will make it much more convenient to study the PDF of textbooks or papers.

Recently, we updated the “Work with AI” workflow tutorial on the Heptabase public wiki. This guide shows you how to use AI to interact with your entire Heptabase space and preserve your insights directly to the whiteboard. We recommend all users check it out—it’s available in English, 中文, and 日本語.
