A visual canvas of AI chat threads for understanding anything in parallel. Start a chat thread with a question and get an explanation with interactive diagrams instead of a wall of text. Spin off any key term or sentence into its own thread, ask related questions in the same canvas, and follow suggested next questions. Explore every rabbit hole while keeping your thinking organized in one place.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Angelica, one of the makers of Canvas!
Canvas is part of Wondering Desktop Web and is a visual way to understand things in parallel. We built Wondering because we felt like AI was giving us more answers, but we are understanding less.
When we want to learn a new concept for work, unpack a research paper, or understand any new topic, the learning process is rarely linear. Yet, when we ask AI, we can only ask follow-ups in the same chat thread or create new conversations so we don’t clutter up the first.
Canvas changes that!
Features: 🖼️ Replies with visuals and interactive diagrams, not just a wall of text Every response tries to show, not only tell. We add visual explanations with interactive diagrams so the information becomes easier to understand.
🌱 Spin up new chat threads Whenever you find a term you don’t understand or sentence to follow-up on, you can spin it off into its own thread without cluttering the original conversation.
💬 Suggestions galore Sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know. We highlight all the key terms so you can dive deeper into understanding those building blocks. We also suggest relevant questions you can ask in the chat thread or spin up a new one.
🧹Organize related chat threads together All related explorations are now grouped into one Canvas so it’s easy to revisit and make connections.
🗂️ Context stays together No more copy-pasting answers from one chat thread to another. Creating a new node from the first already pulls its context.
📝 Classic highlights and note-taking Of course, we have the ability to classically highlight and add notes to the whole chat thread or to a highlighted section of the chat.
Our goal is to make AI feel less like an answer machine and more like a learning environment, where you can build understanding one step at a time.
Branching is the easy half. Every canvas tool I've tried is good at spinning threads off and useless at bringing them back, so you end up with a dozen branches and no way to say which three actually changed what you understood. If a branch can't fold back into the parent as a conclusion rather than a transcript, the canvas turns into a graveyard by the third session. Worth watching the cost side too, since each thread carries its own context and exploring gets expensive faster than it feels like it should.
