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.
Really loving this kind of visual canvas. Great fit me. I like thinking visually.
Easy to organize and rearrange ideas as you go.

@yehan_xiao We designed the canvas specifically for visual thinkers like you. Being able to dynamically rearrange blocks is key to keeping the flow state. Enjoy~

Dessix Yes. This is a good tools for creator

@anthony_cai Thanks! We built this to empower creators like you. Glad you like it~

Context transparency is the missing layer in most AI tools. Dessix feels like a much more honest way to collaborate with AI. Congrats on the launch:)
Dessix
@abod_rehman Thanks a lot! "Honest" is the best compliment we could receive.
We truly believe that trust comes from transparency—knowing exactly what the AI is looking at changes the whole dynamic of collaboration.
Glad you resonate with this!
Dessix is addressing the “black-box trust” problem in a very practical way: making context visible and controllable so teams can reason about why an output happened (and keep it consistent when collaborating).
does the model’s final context come strictly from the current focus / selected columns, or do you also do an automatic “relevance expansion” behind the scenes? That one choice really impacts reproducibility and team alignment.

@lowesyang Dessix rigorously controls context priority to ensure precise AI alignment with user intent, fostering transparent and controllable collaboration:
1. Workspace Style Config: Defines the overall working environment and user identity.
2. Topic: Sets the focused scope for the current conversation or view.
3. Fixed Blocks: Core materials actively "pinned" by the user, serving as a structured framework and authoritative knowledge source.
4. Focused Block: The content block currently being viewed or edited by the user, representing the AI's primary area of attention.
5. Linked Blocks: Content blocks explicitly linked to the focused block, providing direct contextual connections.
6. Visible Blocks: Auxiliary content visible within the workspace, offering ambient environmental context.
7. Related Blocks: Algorithmically recommended supplementary information.
This hierarchical management ensures "what you see is what AI sees," meaning the AI's contextual understanding is always precisely synchronized with user intent, leading to reproducible and explainable collaboration.

@maria_moreno_lopez Yes. Dessix is Local-First. You can write and organize completely offline—perfect for deep work. Internet is only needed when you explicitly call the AI.

Congrats on launching Dessix on Product Hunt, @xiangst0816 ! 🎉 As an AI product lead, I'm thrilled to see a tool tackling the AI trust gap head-on. The visual context feature is a game-changer—it makes AI collaboration so transparent and intuitive. Love how "Focus as the Prompt" puts users in control, and the "Actions & Scenes" design truly amplifies creative workflows. For deep creators like researchers and writers, this is a must-try! 💡
One suggestion: To enhance workflow integration, consider adding export options (e.g., to Markdown or PDF) or API hooks for tools like Notion. This could help users seamlessly transition from ideation to production.
Curious: What's the roadmap for team collaboration features? I'd love to see how Dessix scales for group projects. Keep up the great work, and looking forward to your thoughts!

Thanks,@rocsheh !
Thrilled that you resonate with the "Visual Context" and our mission to bridge the AI trust gap.
To your point on workflow integration: We currently support exporting individual notes (Blocks), but more uniquely, we allow exporting and sharing the entire Shared Context. This lets you capture the full fidelity of the human-AI interaction, not just the final text.
Direct hooks for tools like Notion are definitely in our plans. In fact, this is exactly where Actions will shine—imagine defining an Action specifically to "Format and Push to Notion" via code or instructions. You design the logic, and the system executes it.
Regarding the roadmap for teams: We have a slightly different take on collaboration. We believe the future isn't just about shared editing, but about shared cognition. In Dessix, team collaboration will focus on sharing Actions (workflows) and Scenes (encapsulated SOPs).
It means sharing the "methodology" and "expert perspective" so the whole team can align on how to think and solve problems, rather than just syncing documents.
Stay tuned! 🚀
I really like the framing around trust and visibility. How do you think about preventing context drift over time as users keep adding and rearranging material? Does the system help users notice when the AI’s “mental model” starts diverging from theirs?
Dessix
Hi@kavin_jeya ，you’ve hit on a critical point that many tools overlook: maintaining clarity over time. Our approach is built on two key ideas: strong boundaries and radical transparency.
Strong Boundaries with "Topics":First, we prevent drift at a macro level using our Topic feature. You can think of each Topics as a completely separate "context sandbox" or a project-specific memory for the AI. When you switch from your "Market Research" Topic to your "Novel Writing" Topic, the AI's context is completely swapped. This ensures that materials from one project don’t accidentally bleed into and influence another, which is the most common source of long-term context drift.
Radical Transparency with "Overview":To address your core question—how the system helps you notice when the AI's "mental model" might be diverging—we have a feature called "Overview".
At any moment, you can open the Overview to get a crystal-clear, visual representation of exactly what information the AI is currently using. It shows you every block, every note, every piece of data that forms the AI's active context. There is no hidden "memory" or background processing. If you feel the AI's responses are going off-track, the Overview provides an immediate, unambiguous diagnostic tool to see why. It directly reflects our "What You See Is What AI Sees" philosophy.
So, instead of trying to build a complex system that infers when a mental model is drifting, we give you the simple, powerful ability to see the AI's mental model directly and manage it with confidence. This keeps you, the expert, firmly in the driver's seat.
