Webpage & PDF Drop-In are now live in Ryzome.  Paste any URL or drag-and-drop files onto your canvas and it becomes a node your AI can actually read. 

A living piece of the web, woven directly into your thinking space.

Think about the problem. Knowledge scattered everywhere.  

A research paper in one tab. A blog post in another. A stack of PDFs. A YouTube lecture queued up. Each valuable, but fragmented.  

In Ryzome you drop them all onto the canvas. 

Your AI doesn’t just read them, it synthesizes across them.  

That is the difference between collecting fragments and building a connected map of thought.

Webpages. Images. YouTube. PDFs. Notes.  Each one powerful on its own. Together on your canvas, in context, alive with AI, they become something greater.  

. To turn collaboration with AI into something 

Your second brain should not feel like more work. It should work the way your mind does.  That is what Ryzome makes possible.

You can now drag and drop any PDF directly into your canvas and the AI will read it with you. 

Visually summarize, pull out key points, or study together in context.

Working with PDFs used to mean copy pasting, juggling highlights, and losing flow.  

Now your documents live inside your workspace. You can connect them to other ideas on your canvas, ask questions, and 

 this is a big upgrade to how you work. Another step toward collaborating with AI in a more natural way.

Web & PDF Imports 

Some insights want to stay private. Others want to be shared.  

Today we release canvas publishing in Ryzome, a way to share your canvas with the world in a single click.  

Because a canvas is more than a note. It’s a living map of thought.  

When you publish, others can explore your thinking process, see how your ideas connect, understand the context, then clone it to continue the work.  

Your research becomes their starting point. Your insights become their building blocks.

And publishing doesn’t freeze your canvas. It stays alive. Every edit flows through the same link.

Soon, a community hub will make canvases easy to search, star, and discover. Imagine:

Not just conclusions, but the whole connected thought process.

Ideas don’t end with us. They branch, connect, and evolve in other minds.

Canvas publishing is how that circulation begins, knowledge alive, shared, and growing. 

Coming soon, a community hub for collective intelligence.

Share your canvas to the world

I'm really excited to share the latest feature in Ryzome: 

Picture this. It's 2 a.m., physics exam tomorrow. You're knee-deep in YouTube, bouncing between Professor Leonard and Khan Academy, maybe throwing in some random guy who explains electrodynamics better than anyone on the planet.  

From high school, university, and beyond, we all have learned a lot from Youtube. Lectures at 2x speed, coding tutorials, podcasts, and those 3-hour philosophy talks you swear you'll finish (you never do).

But trying to actually USE what you learned? Screenshots of whiteboards, timestamps scattered in notes, multiple tabs open. 

The gap between finding that perfect explanation and getting it into your actual work is huge.

So we built YouTube drop-in into Ryzome.   

Just paste any YouTube URL into your canvas

. The AI watches alongside you, extracts key concepts, creates study guides, whatever you need.   

Have multiple videos to watch? Simply connect them, and Ryzome finds patterns across all of them.   

Ryzome enables streamlined, efficient, and intuitive connected knowledge.
