Cognir Thinking Environment
What it is: It is a Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) tool, that makes use of 3D visualization to map your own thoughts as a graph of organized and categorized nodes.
A new page can be created, and words can be typed, just like with every other note-taking app. Organization is possible, different heading styles, mathematical symbols, numbered lists, bulleted lists, images etc. everything you would find in a standard note editor.
The ability to write your thoughts about certain parts of the text is not a novel feature either, tools like Google Docs, Kognity and Notion already do this as "commenting". Though this is one of the core features of the Cognir Thinking Environment. The whole point of writing down your thoughts about the text is to get yourself to think about it, which I believe everyone does differently.
That diversity of thought, as I like to call it, is something I believe is worth protecting, especially now that people are just using LLM's to summarize, synthesize, and even "think". I think LLM's are not the problem, the way they are being used is. LLM's are great at automating repetitive and tedious tasks, and I believe that is what they should primarily be used for. This is not a novel way to look at it either, many have seen it this way, and many continue to see it this way.
The workflow:
A new page is created. Text is written, or pasted from external sources. Text can be selected to add comment-like "thoughts" for segments of text. A three-dimensional graph of the page or a multitude of pages is created, this graph has nodes linked to each other. The novelty lies in the organizability of the graph, which discerns between insights, concepts, questions, connections and tensions. The graph can be synthesized into a summary in the following forms: paragraphs, bullet points, reports and concise descriptions.
I have to give some credit to Advait Sarkar for this concept, as it is inspired by the prototype showcased in a TED talk, where the role AI plays in our workflow is reimagined.
