About Nodalist AI

Nodalist AI is a visual reasoning workspace designed for structured, non-linear thinking. It offers an infinite canvas where ideas are represented as nodes connected by edges, with full context propagation across branches. Users can upload files (PDFs, spreadsheets, images with OCR) to enrich nodes. Three AI modes—Breakdown, Decision, and Generative—analyze and expand thinking. AI Storming enables six top AI models to debate a problem and produce a structured report. AI Grounding conducts deep web research with cited sources, iterating until evidence is solid. The workspace supports export to PNG and PDF, customizable appearance, and is free to start. Suitable for strategists, researchers, founders, and teams handling complex problems.
