Heptabase has recently made waves with its latest AI update, and it’s nothing short of revolutionary for those relying on digital tools for knowledge work. The update introduces advanced AI capabilities that allow seamless interaction with whiteboards, cards, and even audio or video content embedded within your workspace.
A New Era of AI-Powered Whiteboards
One of the standout features in this update is the ability to directly interact with whiteboards using AI. Previously, AI functionality was limited to cards, but now it has been extended to the entire whiteboard ecosystem. This isn’t just a basic Q&A tool—it analyzes the structure of whiteboards, identifies core themes, pinpoints deeper connections, and synthesizes key insights from the content.
What makes this particularly powerful is its contextual precision. When the AI extracts information, it doesn’t just give generic summaries. It provides clickable references that take you to the exact spot on the whiteboard where the data was found, making it incredibly easy to trace back insights to their source.
Personalized AI with API Integration
The update allows users to integrate their preferred large language models by adding personal API keys. Whether connecting with Gemini 2.5 Pro or Claude Opus 4, users can customize their AI assistant according to their preferences. This flexibility empowers Busy Professionals to use the most powerful tools available to them within Heptabase.
Additionally, the AI can work on specific whiteboards or even targeted sections, allowing for focused exploration. The ability to rename chats, share conversations, and switch sources enhances workflow personalization even further.
Audio and Video Integration Like Never Before
Another remarkable feature is how the AI handles multimedia content. It can now analyze audio transcripts and video cards, identifying relevant information and linking directly to the timestamps within those files. This capability transforms passive media storage into active, searchable knowledge assets.
This feature unlocks entirely new ways of working. For example, voice memos, meeting recordings, and video notes can now serve as interactive resources, enabling professionals to extract actionable insights effortlessly.
Practical Implications for Busy Professionals
This update brings significant value for anyone practicing Personal Knowledge Management, Project Management, or Task Management. It allows users to not only store information but actively work with it through AI-assisted workflows. Imagine being able to ask your workspace for summaries, connections, or even potential action items across projects—without lifting a finger to search manually.
By enabling interaction with complex data structures, Heptabase is not just an information storage platform; it becomes an intelligent collaborator in your digital ecosystem.
