Dessix is a logic-first visual space for deep creators. Instead of wrestling with prompts, you build context visually, making AI an extension of your own thinking. Achieve true alignment—you know what the AI knows, and it grasps your goals. Ditch the black box, accelerate your creation, and finally, take control.

Hi Product Hunt — Hsiang (Alex Xiang) here, founder of Dessix 👋
The biggest challenge in collaborating with AI isn't its capability, but the trust gap between us.
AI often feels like a 'black box.' We can't see its context, so we can't be sure if its answers are reliable. To compensate for this uncertainty, we're stuck in a cycle of trial and error, constantly copying and pasting to manually calibrate every single output.
Dessix was created to solve this fundamental trust issue. We've built a visual thinking space where what you see is what the AI sees.
We make this trust tangible through three core features:
1. Visualized Context: Arrange your notes and resources side-by-side in a multi-column space. The context you build for the AI is crystal clear, eliminating the guesswork.
2. Focus as the Prompt: Your every click and focus directly guides the AI's attention, giving you absolute control.
3. Stay in the Driver's Seat & Reflect: We've designed "Actions" and "Scenes" to help you deeply integrate with AI and amplify your abilities. At the same time, they enable you to bring in a critical perspective at any moment, helping you avoid cognitive traps like confirmation bias and information bubbles.
If you're a professional who demands high precision in context and logical rigor—like a researcher, analyst, strategist, or writer—then Dessix is designed specifically for you.
Special PH Offer: We're offering the Product Hunt community a lifetime 10% discount on all paid plans.(Code: PH)
Want to give it a try? Place our official homepage and this intro side-by-side, then ask the AI: "How does Dessix help users stay in the driver's seat when using AI?"
I'll be here all day and look forward to hearing your feedback

Hi Hsiang, congrats! Yes, I;m definitely one of those tired of copying and pasting the texts back and fourth.
One quick question: since Gemini is now deeply embedded in Chrome and tools like Atlas are emerging, what would you say is Dessix's biggest edge in terms of workflow and context handling?
Dessix
@jojo_li
Regarding Gemini and Atlas, Dessix's core competitive advantage in "workflow and context handling" lies in these key areas:
Visual Context Alignment: Dessix's "what you see is what AI sees" visual workspace ensures the AI natively understands your layout and connections, eliminating the "black box" effect and aligning human-AI perspectives.
Dynamic Context, Instant Impact: Any change you make to your visual workspace is immediately reflected for the AI, maintaining a fluid thought process without re-uploading or repetitive explanations.
Knowledge Base as Living Context: Your entire Dessix knowledge base serves as the AI's background context. It automatically leverages your accumulated insights for deeper, more relevant collaboration.
Multi-Step AI Agents: With the "Dessix Magician," you can easily build complex, multi-step AI agents using simple descriptions, transforming AI into a powerful planning and execution partner.
Dessix empowers you to be a "thought designer," accelerating creation and expanding cognition through seamless human-AI collaboration.
Dessix
@jojo_li To be honest, we can't compete with giants like Chrome or Atlas on general capabilities.
The biggest difference lies in Definition and Transparency. In Dessix, YOU define who you are and what context matters. You know exactly what the AI knows because everything is "White-box"—visible and editable by you.
We offer total control, not just "black box magic." That is our edge.

Being headache dealing with tons of prompts till now... Dessix is great by putting logic at first place.... also curious - how do you make sure alignments are achieved?
Dessix
Hi @cruise_chen !
Glad you noticed the "logic-first" approach! Dealing with endless prompts is indeed exhausting, and that's exactly why we built Dessix.
To your question on Alignment: We don't treat alignment as magic; we treat it as an engineering problem. We achieve it through Constraint and Transparency:
Visual Alignment ("What you see is what AI sees"): We map your visual focus directly to the AI's context window. If you focus on a specific Block (and its parallel references), that becomes the hard boundary for the AI's attention. You don't need to describe the context; you just need to "place" it in front of you.
Procedural Alignment (Actions & Scenes): This is where the "logic" you mentioned comes in. By encapsulating your intent into Actions (workflows) and Scenes (roles/rules), you are effectively "programming" the AI's behavior. This forces the model to align with your specific methodology rather than relying on its general probability distribution.
In short: We achieve alignment by giving YOU total control over the input structure, rather than hoping the model guesses right.
Thanks for the support
Product Hunt Wrapped 2025
Feels like a mind map where the AI actually sees what I see. I lose context hopping between tabs/docs. Focus-as-prompt makes sense. Scenes to fight tunnel vision… smart. I’ll throw my next research brief at it and see if it keeps me sane.

@alexcloudstar
That’s a perfect use case! Many users are actually using it right now for their Year-End Reviews—just laying out their projects side-by-side to chat. No need to manually select context; what’s on screen is what the AI uses.
You are spot on about the constraints. That is a deliberate design choice: using the physical limits of the screen to enforce cognitive focus. It’s a fascinating way to keep both the human and the AI aligned.
Hope it helps with your research brief!

So glad to see Dessix LANDED on ProductHunt, a product that truly understands user needs.
Dessix
@janette_szeto Thank you! That means a lot.
We've found that University Professors and Founders/CEOs resonate with us the most. They require fine-grained control over their context to minimize hallucinations and ensure precision.
We've dedicated a long time to getting this right. It’s great to see that once users experience this level of control, they don't want to go back.

Really excited for you guys! Congratsss 👌
Do you expose any export/import formats (e.g., JSON with embeddings or custom schema) for developers integrating Dessix workflows into web apps (via iframe/embed) or mobile wrappers (PWA/Capacitor)?
Dessix
@cathcorm Thanks for the congrats!
To be transparent about the technical side: Currently, our data import/export is primarily based on Markdown. We don't support iframe embedding at this moment.
However, regarding deployment—we fully support PWA, so you can install and use it natively on your devices.
A friend recommended this to me, and now it's on producthunt! love to see it.
Dessix
@joeyzhang Wow, word-of-mouth is the best compliment! Please pass on my thanks to your friend. Great to see you here.
