No AI tool could annotate my files and cite text accurately

Hi HN

Been building this for 2 years w/ my best friend. We find big-name AI tools pretty unusable for serious writing tasks, research work, and really kind of workflows that require accurate citations.

We were deeply inspired by Cursor AI , Drive, and Google Scholar. These tools are all so helpful for us and changed the way that we worked with information and technology throughout our lives.

Most of the time we only want to use AI for specific, assistive tasks like scraping through a ton of files for quotes, searching for new sources, or when we do want to generate text it needs to be accurate, it needs to follow specific directions without rewriting or hurting my work, and it must always check with me so I can verify that agents are working on the right track.

We built Ubik Studio to solve these problems that also feel like larger issues preventing tons of people from using AI in their serious work effectively.

You can work from local files and folder (without touching the cloud), use any model, and always work with cited text.

We would love for your feedback
