<hr><h1>What is Ryzome</h1><p>Ryzome is a visual workspace where your thoughts become connected insights. It's designed to solve the fundamental limitations of linear AI interactions by providing a 2D canvas where ideas exist as interconnected nodes.</p><h2>The Problem with Linear AI Chat Interfaces</h2><p>Traditional AI interfaces like ChatGPT and Claude force you into a linear conversation model. You constantly:</p><ul class="accent-bullets"><li><p>Switch contexts and lose your flow</p></li><li><p>Re-type prompts and explanations</p></li><li><p>Struggle to see connections between branching ideas</p></li><li><p>Hit the limits of what chat can handle for complex thinking</p></li></ul><p>Linear chat fails for complex thought. Ryzome makes AI context-aware through visual relationships.</p><h2>The Ryzome Solution</h2><p>Ryzome reimagines AI interaction through a spatial, visual interface. Instead of a chat thread, you work on an infinite canvas where:</p><h3><strong>Visual &amp; Spatial Interface</strong></h3><p>Every idea becomes a node on a 2D canvas. This mirrors how your mind actually works - thoughts branch naturally, connections stay visible, and everything flows.</p><h3><strong>Connected Intelligence</strong></h3><p>When you connect nodes, the AI understands the full upstream context. It can synthesize information from multiple sources rather than just responding to isolated prompts.</p><h3><strong>Agentic Core</strong></h3><p>Every node is AI-enabled. Generate content, transform ideas, synthesize insights - all while maintaining the visual context of your thinking process.</p><h2>Core Capabilities</h2><p>Ryzome supports rich, multi-format content that adapts to what you need:</p><ul class="accent-bullets"><li><p><strong>Markdown-Enabled Nodes</strong>: Full markdown support with images, tables, code blocks, and formatting</p></li><li><p><strong>Content Drop-In</strong>: Import PDFs, YouTube videos, images, web pages, and text with automatic node creation</p></li><li><p><strong>Context Chains</strong>: Connect nodes to build context that AI understands and can work with</p></li><li><p><strong>Instant Knowledge Graphs</strong>: Watch your research evolve into living, interconnected insights</p></li></ul><h2>How It's Different</h2><p>Think "Obsidian Canvas meets AI, but reimagined" - Ryzome isn't just a tool for organizing thoughts, it's a collaborative thinking partner that understands the relationships between your ideas.</p><p>Unlike static note-taking apps or linear AI chats, Ryzome creates a <strong>second brain that actually thinks with you</strong>. The spatial interface combined with context-aware AI enables new forms of knowledge work that weren't possible before.</p><h2>Who It's For</h2><p>Ryzome is designed for knowledge workers who think visually:</p><ul class="accent-bullets"><li><p><strong>Researchers</strong> building complex arguments and literature reviews</p></li><li><p><strong>Writers</strong> developing interconnected narratives and ideas</p></li><li><p><strong>Consultants</strong> synthesizing insights from multiple sources</p></li><li><p><strong>Strategists</strong> mapping out complex problems and solutions</p></li><li><p><strong>AI power users</strong> seeking more sophisticated interaction models</p></li></ul><h2>Ready to Start?</h2><p>Jump into our <a href="/docs/quick-start" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cursor-pointer box-border border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Quick Start</a> guide to create your first canvas, or take the <a href="/docs/onboarding-tour" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cursor-pointer box-border border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Onboarding Tour</a> to explore all of <a href="https://ryzome.ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cursor-pointer box-border border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Ryzome</a>'s capabilities.</p><hr><p><a href="https://ryzome.ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cursor-pointer box-border border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Start building with Ryzome →</a></p>
