What is ThinkEx?

ThinkEx is a visual thinking environment where you spread out your sources — PDFs, YouTube videos, audio files, websites, and notes — on a canvas, then work alongside AI that can see exactly what you point it to.

Unlike chat-first AI tools, ThinkEx keeps your knowledge organized and persistent. Insights you extract become cards that stay in your workspace. Context never resets.

1. Create a workspace

   Start a new workspace from the dashboard. Choose a blank canvas or a template with sample content already in place.

2. Add your sources

   Upload PDFs, paste YouTube links, add websites, or write notes directly. Each source becomes a card on your canvas.

3. Select context and ask

   Click to select the cards you want the AI to reason over, then ask your question. The AI works only with what you’ve chosen.

4. Capture insights

   Save AI responses as knowledge cards — notes, flashcards, or quizzes — that persist in your workspace for future sessions.
