Epiq: a local-first epistemic database for evidence-backed agent research
soumitrashukla9 · x · 2026-10-05
Epiq is an open-source, local-first epistemic database for agent-driven research. It stores entities, typed questions, source excerpts, and evidence-backed claims in SQLite, projecting history into tables, HTML, and Excel while preserving provenance. The core DB and CLI never call an LLM; an optional local web app launches replaceable research agents through a deterministic interface. Author johnjhorton frames it as a data structure for keeping meta-judgements, paired with an automated reviewer to surface gaps.
