Ubik Studio

We built Ubik Studio because professional knowledge workers and researchers are experiencing a crisis with unreliable AI tools. Models hallucinate citations with total confidence. Multi-hop tasks degrade in quality. Context engines fail on file-based work. And without step-by-step approval flows, professionals spend more time verifying AI work than doing the work itself, decreasing both productivity and hurting the critical thinking skills humans need to use AI tools effectively. Two years of failed AI integrations have killed blind trust. Enterprises are moving toward workflows that require…

Ubik Studio launched on September 9, 2025 with 7 votes, #2,024 of 8,160 launches that month. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

Ubik is a modern workspace for the AI era that integrates the best parts of being human, like reading, writing, and thinking, with AI agents that can find, cite, and analyze found scholarly papers or uploaded PDFs.

Ubik is winding down. Thank you for being part of it.

The hosted side of Ubik is sunsetting. The desktop app you've already installed will keep working, and we're transitioning Ubik to open source — what happens next belongs to the people who usedfrom ubik.studio

    Hi HN, As PMs (Google, Gopuff, Shiji), my cofounder and I ran hundreds of user tests over the years. And every time it felt broken: It could take 2–5 days just to get enough usable results We spent hours watching recordings to extract a handful of insights “Professional testers” rushed through tasks for pay, creating biased feedback Platforms often started at €10k+ per year, with hidden fees on top The result: slow iteration cycles, unreliable feedback, and user testing that often felt like a tax rather than a tool. We started asking: what if AI could help? Could synthetic users replicate…

  • Blocks2025 · blocks.diy · ▲448

    Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…

  • FlowTask 2.0Jul 2026 · flowtask.work · ▲138

    For years, I was stuck. Trapped in a loop. Every new project, every team initiative – it began with the same soul-crushing setup. Hours. Gone. Not on the actual work, mind you. But on the meta-work. Defining tasks. Sketching forms. Mapping workflows. Hunting for that 'perfect' template that never quite fit. Just trying to get to zero. To a starting line where meaningful work could actually begin. Most project management tools? They're brilliant once things are up and running. Tracking, collaborating, reporting – they nail it. But that initial blank canvas? That moment you’re staring at an…

  • The site hit #1 on HN about a year ago. Got enough traffic that I turned it into a proper API. What's there: - REST API — 35k products, manually filterable by category, free key, 60 req&#x2F;min - CLI — npx anycrap random -c food - faker.js plugin — bundled, no API call, works offline - HuggingFace dataset — full 35k rows for ML&#x2F;training https:&#x2F;&#x2F;anycrap.shop&#x2F;developers

  • I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input&#x2F;output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

    Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
