Currently, the predominant way of interacting with AIs and large language models (LLMs) is to use a chat-based interface. I think this is not an optimal way for many people to learn new things. Heuristica uses a non-linear, mindmap-like structure to make learning more visual, hands-on, exploratory and inclusive.
Heuristica is an AI-powered knowledge exploration tool with a mindmap-like interface. It allows the user to enter an input, like "Macroeconomics," and press the buttons on the user interface to operate on this input. For example, the user can press the "What" button to learn "What is Macroeconomics," or the user can press the "Who" button to see who founded the discipline or learn more about the key figures.
These buttons are abstractions for prompts to an LLM optimized to return the desired result in the best way possible.
Every operation in Heuristica creates an output that can be operated further. This results in something that resembles a concept map or a mindmap. Visually, it is a tree-like structure that stems from a single concept but goes into many different branches.
It is spreading entirely via word of mouth, with Youtubers, Substackers, and Influencers picking it up along the way.
