BasePub is an AI research discovery platform—built to surface and connect high-value signals for builders, researchers, and teams. At the time of our work, it was being built and led by Lior Alexander, who came to us to bring clarity to the experience. We redesigned the platform from the ground up—refining the brand system and simplifying the interface to make research feel accessible, not overwhelming. Cleaner layouts, clearer navigation, and intuitive filtering now turn a fast-moving stream of papers into something navigable and actionable. As the exploration layer alongside AlphaSignal—Lior’s widely read AI newsletter—BasePub helps 100K+ practitioners dive deeper. What began as a visual and UX overhaul has become a sharper, more scalable foundation—positioning BasePub as the interface for AI progress.
