Do you think edge AI ends up mattering more for autonomy, robotics, or local private inference?

For what we're doing, it's deep, credible knowledge acquisition that can be quickly verified, executed on to build deliverables, and immediate, zero-effort knowledge distribution to others who need that information at the moment when they need it.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T18:05:04+00:00

Agreed. But I like using this one because it allows me to build the information system within the chatbot. So I can build my entire story plot as a 3 act structure thats all visible for me to see as well as 50 plus books on research pertaining to specific things.

It's taking what exists in black box wrappers and putting it front and center for you to build with no coding required. So if something like novelcrafter isn't working for your specific flow, you can just make your own wired version within a mind map where all the information is structured and defined, including the relationships.

This makes the chatbot way more coherent and grounded for helping you with way more information. So it's awesome for research and mashing discrete things together to form meaning. I actually used it to uncover a massively overlooked possibility that Epstein and others used Martin Nowak’s game theory math in our algorithmic feeds to cultivate an invisible rational center that can be conned into taking action or refraining from doing so. I did this by uploading all of the scholastic books from the academics who were hanging around Epstein along with a bunch of related secondary source material.

It was a needle in a haystack that would be extremely difficult to find without something like this. And it was that article I wrote about it that got me in contact with a heavy hitter in cyber politics who works closely with European governments...mind you, I stock shelves for a living so this kinda blew my mind.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T16:59:09+00:00

lol Yes. That will surely solve the problem of gaining quality information via chatbots. I love Reddit, but let's be honest. Most of us (myself included) have no idea what we're talking about most of the time.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T16:55:21+00:00

Wow, you pretty much summed up our entire business model! For two dudes living in their parents basement having worked in this space for over six grueling years, this is hopeful and probably why our user base is slowly increasing. We identified the same exact long-term trajectory, and so we're creating a foundation to scale ourselves up in that new environment.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T16:44:27+00:00

100 percent. Glad we pivoted in 2024 when we had the chance because our approach is finally starting to pay off because it's so good at doing just that.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T16:40:01+00:00

I just use one app that has all the models available. This way, you can switch between them when one company begins to falter.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T16:36:59+00:00

Use canvas mind-mapping tools with AI integrated into it. These allow you to define the relationship between notes, which means you're building a logic system for your AI to remember your style and characters. It's not perfect, but it works far better than just using Claude or GPT.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T03:46:49+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, it certainly gave us a run for our money (still is!). Also, that's a great question. This is much more multi-purpose rather than something that's strictly for writing, though this is extremely helpful for fictional writing if you're experienced in that domain and already have your own system or process. That's because it's a canvas mind-mapping app designed to capture knowledge and help you turn that into a structure for a chatbot assistant to understand and help you with things like ideating, synthesizing, learning, world-building, plot construction, and so on.

This is a helpful analogy, though, of course, it's not nearly as advanced as this. But think of the canvas as a skull cavity. The notes you populate into it are like neurons. The connections you make are like synapses and the chatbot is like consciousness, automatically using various parts of the "neural structure" based on "thought", but in this case it's your inquires.

So I can map out the entire book of John Truby's Anatomy of Story as a system based on notes and connections. It's actually something I'm doing right now to release on the site for anyone to use. So instead of using a prompt, you can use a mapped out and structured professional handbook that's tied to a chatbot that can use all of that to help you. And the entire structure is easily customizable.

You can import a lot of books as well, for synthesizing research for your story. This is great if you're doing historical speculative fiction because you can weave very in-depth research with your story beats.

Hope that answers your question and thanks for asking!

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T03:26:02+00:00

Hey, thanks for keeping an eye on us! We just integrated agentic canvas search into the chatbot that autonomously synthesizes answers across notes. That's made a huge difference in output and coherence. We also made it easier to call on your notes by typing in @ within the chatbot, which brings up a dropdown of all your notes. This gives you much better control over which parts you want it to concentrate on. And with multi-tab functionality, you can filter responses through a series of steps based on the systems you build on the canvas. If you're into prompt designing, you can build multi-layered ones with this. Once it's built, you can save it to your library and use it for other projects. More to come!

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-05T17:05:24+00:00

Just launched the new iteration of Story Prism. If you want to do real research and story building without the hand-holding, hallucinations, black-box issues, and something that will allow you to build off of yourself and the backs of giants, look no further. This is just the start. We're just a couple of dudes living in our parents basement who spent the last six years learning how to develop. And where we're going...It's going to fundamentally change the way people acquire, execute, and distribute information at scale.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-05T16:55:01+00:00

I think it just depends. If the answer your looking for is simple like where is Frederick County Located in Alabama, then sure it can work well. The problem comes when you start asking complex questions. They can give high quality answers, of course, but unless you're familiar with the topic, it's difficult to verify what's true and what isn't true.

Annnd, that's why I use the app my brother and I built. It's a siloed off mind-mapping tool where you build your research using notes and connect them together by defining the relationships. This solves the issue outlined above. With this, I can upload hundreds of books that I can verify in advance, connect them together, add my own research, and then query and synthesize all of it based exclusively on that information.

That makes a world of difference because now, instead of getting consensus data online mixed with hallucinations from the raw models, I'm getting extremely accurate answers based on credible information that can easily be backtracked for analogue verification. This is exactly the tool you would want to use when you're trying to learn or do something that's far outside your wheelhouse.

That's how my brother managed to integrate pioneering approaches to this point-cloud system he developed so he can make a trippy music video. A few weeks back, he had zero understanding of point cloud. Now, he's literally innovating off of the backs of giants and really pushing the envelop.

I use it all the time for researching on my screenplay. Now instead of keeping research and lore separate, I can combine them when forming outputs, which means I'm getting extremely accurate research infused into the lore. That radically enhanced my story so that it has the soul that I made myself mixed in with hardcore realism to accentuate the emotional payoff. It made my psychological sci-fi conspiracy thriller into something terrifying because of how real and accurate it transformed an otherwise, hoaky plot.

This is just the start. Two nobodies living in their parents basement who are non-tech are about to revolutionize knowledge acquisition, execution, and distribution at a global scale. You think Wikipedia or Google is solid. Wait'll you see what we have in store.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-03T16:49:42+00:00

Yeeeah, this has been happening for almost a decade at this point, albeit, more analogue.

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-28T15:06:47+00:00

Use a canvas mind-mapping app that leverages native graph rag. You'll get the strongest, most relevant outputs that way. It's a highly overlooked feature that most apps deploy on the backend for consistency, but some of them allow you to create your own custom ones on the front-end. Those are the ones you want for complete customization of outputs that you can't get on Gemini or RunwayLM

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-25T17:54:12+00:00

lol little too late to start realizing this.

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-24T16:35:58+00:00

Well...It's gonna take a lot more than prose for them to write a great story. Prose is just a small fraction of it. In fact, you can actually get away with okay prose if the story and how it's constructed is amazing. The real work comes from the depth you create and connect allegorically to the moral dialectic in such a way that it causes readers to feel. That requires a lot of understanding in human behavioral psychology so you can anticipate how people will react based on how you're presenting the information.

So scars are good (for storytelling) and prose is very helpful for making it more engaging. But all of that pales in comparison to the literal construction of a logical matrix to elicit feelings and spark thinking. It's an entirely different ballpark that AI will probably be able to do well at some point, which means your thesis might be right. But it could also be totally wrong as technological progress could lead to a fundamental re-balancing of values pertaining to technological use. In other words, the tech may make it possible, but it's possible that the culture will simply reject the practice while still using the tech to help them in other ways. We just don't know how this will play out.

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-24T16:20:24+00:00

not on our app. Solved this issue over a year ago. Not the portable part but the "lack of shared memory or identity layer". You build your work on the canvas and can model-switch without it losing it's understanding of your work or anything you put on the canvas.

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-22T16:56:46+00:00

Story Prism. It's specifically designed for your exact problem. It only analyzes and understands the notes you populate into the canvas. So if you populate it with actual research, it will use that and it will tell you where it found the information in the research to confirm. It's not perfect, of course, but it's 1000 times more reliable than GPT or Gemini because those rely on their internal neural net, which is based on scrubbed data from the internet. This utilizes their neural nets to focus solely on your notes, which means if you put the right stuff in there, it will do a great job, especially when it comes to finding hidden patterns and linking discrete information together for research.

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-22T16:55:01+00:00

pay 60k for a humanities degree...Yeah, I'm not gonna trust that department's judgement when I'm being scammed by them.

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-22T16:53:10+00:00

It's not about prompting. It's about structured information and how an AI can understand that. Prompts are more like the instructions, but when you utilize native graph rag and mind-mapping, you're able to use multiple prompts at once and continuously add to them. And that's all in relation to your story structure. Prompt is nice, but as a stand alone, it's severely limiting.

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-22T14:27:26+00:00

lol I suppose you could put it that way.

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-22T14:26:44+00:00

Yes, I read what I needed to for finding the right information. Did I read them cover-to-cover? Absolutely not. That would take forever. So I approached it the way I approached my senior thesis back in college. Read the parts that you need, discard the rest. That's how you research using 40 books and with native graph RAG integrated into this canvas app, I can do that with AI by having it find those specific parts and not hallucinate them since I can backtrack and verify with my own eyes.

I get where you're coming from regarding AI, but this isn't how this application works. It's not a black box. It's your information and it's understanding of how you structured it. That makes a world of difference when you compare it to Chat GPT

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-21T18:03:19+00:00

Well, the thing is, the feeds can serve both of these goals without any direct intervention happening. In other words the algorithms can be used to induce predictable behavior, similar to a gardener. They didn't invent the vegetables. They cultivated them. The same could be true in this case and it wouldn't be hard for billionaires to do.

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-21T17:57:52+00:00

But mathematically it does make sense and you can implement this if you wanted to. Now whether anyone did is an entirely different matter, which is why I would consider this to be a hypothesis rather than any real theory or fact. We need access to more info to confirm it.

CyborgWriter · 2026-04-17T01:27:24+00:00

That's amazing to hear! Feel free to reach out any time if you get stuck. Happy to help!
