Dialectic is a mind mapping tool that combines AI assistance with human collaboration to explore complex ideas and visualize the learning process.
An amazing free specialised AI tool to explore philosophical ideas around pretty much anything - from academic questions to films to... hamsters! All at one's fingertips, in a matter of seconds, with in-built tools for a sophisticated, yet accessible dialectic. Bravo!
Discover how our platform transforms the way you explore and understand complex ideas
Transform complex ideas into visual knowledge graphs that make connections explicit and easy to navigate.
Invite others to join your exploration in real-time, sharing different perspectives and building knowledge together.
Leverage the analytical power of language models to explore ideas in depth while maintaining human guidance.
Unlike ephemeral chats, your knowledge graphs persist and grow over time, becoming valuable resources. Export to PDF, JSON, or Markdown - the data is yours!
Explore how Dialectic transforms knowledge representation and collaborative learning
Transform complex ideas into intuitive visual networks. Unlike linear conversations, knowledge graphs let you explore multiple paths simultaneously and see relationships at a glance.
Each node can be expanded to reveal more details or branch into new directions, creating a rich web of connected knowledge.
Try It NowTraditional AI chat interfaces present knowledge as linear walls of text, making it difficult to explore multiple directions at once or revisit specific points.
Dialectic's graph-based approach solves this problem by structuring information spatially, allowing for non-linear exploration while maintaining context.
Deep dive on particular conversations within the graph. Any node can be shown as a conversation.
Adding Focus mode, Low fixation reading and accessibility features to improve comprehension.
Try It NowOur motivation for developing a new approach to collaborative learning and knowledge exploration
We live in an era of unprecedented information access, yet the quality of discourse often feels lacking. Echo chambers and motivated reasoning lead to people talking past each other rather than engaging meaningfully.
We built Dialectic because we believe that meaningful exchanges happen when we can explore assumptions at a fundamental level and see how different starting points lead to different conclusions.
Language models provide unprecedented access to knowledge, but traditional chat interfaces limit their potential for deep learning. Linear conversations make it difficult to explore multiple directions simultaneously or revisit specific points of interest.
Dialectic transforms AI interaction into an active, exploratory process where learners can branch out in multiple directions, creating a personalized knowledge map that evolves with their curiosity.
As well as contributing to collective knowledge, we want the data to be open, and useful going forward. You can view the graph as a threaded conversation, export as a PDF, get the full graph in JSON and get the content in Markdown for use in a range of editors.
Create using the graph tool, review using the conversation view and edit into personalised notes.
Our vision, philosophy, and the story behind the project
Multi-user Dialectical Graph (MuDG) began with a simple observation: the revolutionary potential of large language models for education remains largely untapped. While today's AI assistants offer impressive capabilities, they exist primarily as isolated, ephemeral exchanges. Our vision is to transform these interactions into persistent, evolving idea structures that grow richer with each exploration.
At Dialectic, we believe the future of learning isn't linear—it's networked. Traditional educational paths often follow predetermined sequences, but human curiosity rarely operates this way. We naturally branch, connect, and integrate ideas across domains. Our knowledge graph approach mirrors this natural thought process, allowing learners to move freely between concepts while maintaining coherent connections.
Each node in a Dialectic graph represents a discrete concept, question, or insight. Unlike traditional learning materials that might bury important connections in paragraphs of text, our graph structure makes relationships explicit and navigable.
Our technical approach is guided by several core principles:
