Dear Heptabase User,
Since we launched Free AI credits three weeks ago, we've noticed that users are trying out Heptabase's AI chat feature more often, and the feedback has been really positive. People love that you can discuss content you've written or information you've saved, which makes the AI's responses more accurate and focused. We recommend using the "Research a topic" feature at the top left and uploading some materials you're interested in—then start chatting with the AI about them!
Whiteboard: AI action for cards
In the latest version, we’re excited to introduce AI actions for cards!
You can now hover over any card on the whiteboard and pick an AI action to run on it—like translating, summarizing, or creating a mind map from the card’s content.
You can also create your own custom AI actions, so you don’t have to type the same prompt again and again. For example, you can set up a “Study Guide” action with your preferred format—then anytime you click Study Guide, AI will generate it instantly.
We can’t wait to see what kinds of actions you create—feel free to share your favorites with us!
Heptabase MCP
We’ve officially launched Heptabase MCP (Model Context Protocol). Now you can use MCP to connect Heptabase to ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI services—unlocking two powerful workflows:
- Save to Heptabase: Imagine you’re discussing a topic with ChatGPT and find the conversation useful. You can simply ask ChatGPT to summarize the discussion into a note and save it to Heptabase as a card or append it to today’s journal.
- Consult your Knowledge Base: You can ask ChatGPT to find whiteboards and cards related to a topic, read them, and provide answers based on your existing knowledge, without even opening Heptabase at all!
If you’re an AI developer, you can use our MCP to build advanced workflow automations with the tools we provide.
