Eran Shayshon

Hi Product Hunt I'm Eran, a solo founder from Israel. My background is in strategy consulting, in both the non-profit and profit markets. I founded a think and do tank, Astarta, that works in Israel and North America. I've spent years helping people turn messy thinking into clear arguments. The main tool for that was always the whiteboard or the mind map.

The frustrating thing: after years of doing this work, I noticed that the structure of a mind map already encodes an argument. What you cluster together, what you connect, what you push to the margin that spatial logic is the thinking. But nothing has ever read it back to you.

So I built Sensemaker. It reads both your text and your spatial layout clusters, edges, hierarchy and writes you back a 200 600 word narrative that names the themes, surfaces the tensions, and ends with the conclusion your map is implicitly building toward. A year of building, a lot of rewrites, and I'm finally comfortable enough to tell people about it.

Most mind-map software is a drawing tool dressed up as a thinking tool. You arrange nodes, connect ideas, cluster themes and then the canvas just sits there, mute. The structure you built already encodes an argument. Nothing reads it back to you.

That gap bothered me enough that I spent the last year building Sensemaker a mind-map app where the AI reads both your text and your spatial layout: what you clustered together, what you connected, what you pushed to the margin. It then writes you back a 200 600 word narrative that names the themes, surfaces the tensions, and ends with the conclusion your map is implicitly building toward.

For about a year I've been quietly building a mind-map app

called Sensemaker. This week I'm finally comfortable enough with

it to tell people.
