Nordic research databases your AI assistant can search
Kahubi is built in Sweden, and Nordic sources are a priority. It connects to the national archives of Sweden and Finland, the statistics offices of all five Nordic countries, Norway’s research registry Cristin, Swedish municipal indicators, the Riksbank, the Riksdag, the Swedish and Norwegian national libraries and their digitised newspapers, the historical Swedish newspaper corpus in Korp, SMHI weather records, Nationalmuseum and the Human Protein Atlas.
Ask in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish or English. Because the Nordic statistics offices share the same table format, cross-Nordic comparisons take one question instead of five separate downloads.
