Tools For Thinking/THINKcamp Demo Day (a thread)
Warning: This is not about productivity software. /1

There is so much data and information out there on the internet, with more and more being added every day. But organizing that for the purposes of creation, ideation, collaboration and more has been barely explored.

THINKcamp demo day (brought to you by @betaworks) is today. /2

Nine companies are ready to define this category. I'll be live tweeting as they present, complete with founder info, links to try them out, etc. Stand by to have mind blown. /3

And I guess if you wanna watch without any of my witty commentary then here: vimeo.com/event/2683190

First, Subconscious.
Official one-liner: “Transforming the whole internet into a Tool for Thought.”
Founders: @gordonbrander, @0xcda7a
Find them @ subconscious.network

Buzzword-free version: It's a decentralized massively multiplayer worldwide knowledge graph built on IPFS. It's open (anyone can build on top of it). (ok that was kinda buzzwordy)

Link to the Noosphere/Subconscious discord:

Next, Softspaces.
Official one-liner: An AR knowledge mapping tool — showing you the true shape of your ideas.
Founders: @yiliu_shenburke, @pichiste
Find them @ soft.space

No joke this one is hard to tweet about. Gotta see it to believe it. But I’m here for you.

Next, Sane.
Official one-liner: A social tool for thought that combines personal knowledge management and publishing into a collective playground for thinkers.
Founders: @JosefiinaIda, @PeunaTiina
Find them @ sane.fyi

Buzzword-free version: If social networks were based on intellectual and EQ prowess (across any topic) but looked more like Figjam?

Next, Fermat.
Official one-liner: A spatial canvas that augments traditional workflows using Generative AI.
Founders: @polbaladas, Oriol (not on Twitter)
Find them @ fermat.ws

A multiplayer, spatial canvas that lets you add your own programming (think Excel). But the key is that there is a marketplace of templates, programs, etc. from others. Oh, and it uses generative AI models to do a bunch of the heavy lifting.

Next, Maestro AI.
Official one-liner: Keep your team in sync with AI by synthesizing and summarizing what’s happening.
Founders: @wikcheng, @justin_cranshaw
Find them @ getmaestro.ai

In short, Maestro lives in your org's collaboration channels (Slack, email, tickets, etc.) and summarizes/synthesizes important information. This can happen on demand and in a digest sent to email EOD.

Next, Kosmik.
Official one-liner: The Spatial browser for Creators
Founders: @Paul_Rony, @Christo41646989
Find them @ kosmik.app

It's a web browser, but it's also a spatial canvas. Imagine reading your favorite blog, extracting text, an image, and clicking through to other links with all of that information connected and visually laid out to your liking. Oh, it's also multiplayer.

Next, SecondVoice.
Official one-liner: your artificially intelligent guide
Founders: @jimmyeatcarbs
Find them @ joshu.xyz

Second Voice is an SMS interface that lets you train your own LLM, all with the goal of reflecting back your own values. So, I could train the Jordan model to help me make decisions or vent or complain or ask for advice.

I could also weave in the Bible or the teachings of Alan Watts or, if I'm wondering about things @betaworks , I could borrow from @Borthwick 's model. Warm AI. Human AI.

Next, Gems Notes.
Official one-liner: A self-organizing whiteboard that clusters and connects sticky notes with AI.
Founders: @Ittaboba
Find them @ gemsnotes.app

This is an AI-powered whiteboard. So, let's use an example. You are a product manager going through many hours of user interview transcripts or your team needs meeting notes synthesized and organized around a months-long project.

Gems Notes uses AI to identify common sentiments/topics, categorize them by those topics or by the people who brought them up, view them spatially or in list mode, and add in your own insights.

Last one: Startupy.
Official one-liner: A network for people in love with interesting ideas to curate and connect the best knowledge on the Internet.
Founders: @sariazout, and Gabriel (not on Twitter)
Find them @ beta.startupy.world

Startupy is a curation driven knowledge graph that is the antidote to the failure of the social internet to harness the value of collective intelligence. Look out for it to be relaunched as Sublime.
