Hey Product Hunt, I’m Tom, founder for Modus AI! 👋
I am super excited to finally launch. For the past year, I've have been tirelessly building a platform to change the way humans manage and interact with your digital content.
🤬 The Problem
Everyone has ideas, and everybody has something to write. The issue is, no matter how many apps there are on the market, people still don’t have one centralized place where they can capture, organize, and create with their ideas. We’re drowning in busywork - context-switching between documents, browser tabs, and loads of single-purpose apps. Your knowledge workspace or note-taking eventually becomes so bloated that you can’t find anything.
The process began with an MVP built in early 2024 to scratch my own itch, drawing upon years of consistent reading and writing, duct taping together workflows that involved dozens of different apps. The MVP was a simply summary tool, a chat bot using GPT-4, and a rich-text editor with a note-box for organization. It was rough, but was seemingly providing value to those early adopters (thank you!).
✨ What is Modus AI?
Modus AI is a new kind of second brain that makes interacting with software flow naturally. The infrastructure is fundamentally from most other processing systems, so it might seem a bit foreign at first. These are three of the core pillars of Modus AI.
An Infinite Canvas That Thinks Like You Do
Most tools force you to organize information in rigid hierarchies. Modus’ knowledge graph reflects the natural network of human thought - making it easy to connect and reuse information regardless of where it was stored.
Mechanisms to connect and proactively resurface information
Instead of manually hunting for information, you can set simply query our AI Agent ‘Socrates AI’, which uses a hybrid search approach to effectively resurface any information you have stored within your knowledge base. With this, there is instant retrieval of thoughts and ideas you may have forgotten about - enhancing both productivity and creativity.
Powerful and customizable workspace
Our most-loved feature allows you to seamlessly split screen whilst writing, graphing, and chatting. Minimises context-switching by allowing you to open a workspace to add reference notes, create summaries and templates, and chat to AI Agents - all while staying in the flow of planning, writing, or reading.
And this is just the beginning, we have loads of powerful features, including a blazing fast rich-text editor, tagging (with AI auto-tag), bulk-import with AI categorization, app integrations, commands, backlinks to increase discoverability, references to keep information in sync, and more.
🧠 How to get started
Sign up at Modus AI for a free 7-day free trial of Modus AI Pro. We recommend you start using Modus AI to replace your current note-taking apps, and layer on additional use cases from our Wiki as you become familiar with Modus AI.
If you want an easy start: Use our quick note function to plan your daily todo’s and capture ideas on the go.
If you’re interested in the full power of Modus AI: We highly recommend you join our Discord community. They know Modus AI better than us and are constantly amazing us with the crazy powerful things they build with Modus AI.
Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and questions! 🙏
Most importantly, kudos and a huge shoutout to our Modus AI community of early-adopters. We love you and could never have built this without you 💙
@tomvanderlinden Looks awesome! I’ll definitely try Modus AI to organize my tasks—I’m sure it will boost both my productivity and the efficiency of my work.
@irina_buzun Thank you for the kind words Irina! Would love to hear your feedback on your experience with the product :)
Nice work, Tom! I found your video interesting on the features, but I don't feel like I've got a sense yet of HOW to use it.
Do you have (or can you create) a video showing an example of you actually using it from scratch to explore and develop an idea. For example, I'm working on a blog post now about comparing the sustainability of AI tools to do work vs the sustainability of using humans to do work. How would I use your tool to start, explore, expand, and then refine back down all the concepts to single post?
Don't sell features... sell solutions! Show me how this will make my life easier (cause my gut says it will make things much easier, I just don't quite grok it yet).
Looking forward to playing with this!
@diamondsea Thanks for the feedback Brian! I agree there needs to be a better tutorial, it's hard to fit in an entire workflow within a couple of minutes. I recommend look at our Modus AI Wiki, where I break down start to finish how to get the most out of the features. I will also be making videos that follow the articles I have written, which will be on YouTube soon. Thanks again :)
Looks like an interesting concept and looking forward to see how this develops. Good luck on the launch!
@shortcipher5 Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words :)
Yes! Great idea guys! Did not use it yet, but it is very useful with the overload of information these days. Has a lot of potential. Best of luck!
@th_calafatidis Thank you Theodore, let me know if you give it a go!
I’m a systems thinker, and this seems like it aligns with how my brain processes information. A lot of great features packed in!
@brittany_allen1 I hope you get lots of value from it Brittany, I appreciate your support - it means a lot :)
This is such an exciting launch! The product feels like it was designed with creators in mind—simple, intuitive, and built to keep the creative flow going. Can’t wait to try it. Congrats to the team on the launch—this is going to make a real difference!
Congrats on the launch! Finally, an AI-powered second brain that actually helps creators stay organized without the overwhelm. Looking forward to testing out the infinite canvas!
@marianna_tymchuk Appreciate it Marianna! Please let me know how you go trying Modus AI out :)
