What Knowing is
Knowing is a tree-view application for organizing ideas. Instead of flat notes or folders, you build a hierarchy of nodes that branches the way thinking does, and you work with a large language model directly inside that structure. The page describes a minimal interface, drag-and-drop restructuring, custom user actions, collaboration, and cloud storage. It is presented as fully free to use, with no hidden costs and no subscription. A template and feature marketplace is listed as coming soon.
What you can do with it
- Build a hierarchy of nodes to hold ideas, notes, and references in one place.
- Ask an AI model to add, delete, or modify content inside the structure as you work.
- Define custom actions to automate the steps you repeat on every project.
- Reshape the tree with drag-and-drop or keyboard shortcuts when your thinking changes.
- Share a structure with teammates and keep it synced through cloud storage.
Who it is for
- Writers mapping book structures, chapters, and character development.
- Business developers planning projects and splitting tasks across a team.
- Educators assembling course outlines and lesson plans.
- Anyone who prefers an outline over a flat document.
What to watch out for
The product is free today, but free terms can change, and there is no published pricing page to check against. The marketplace is not live yet. AI output still needs review because the model can be wrong or miss context. Collaboration depends on the vendor cloud staying available, and the page does not spell out export options if you want to leave. Treat it as a working tool rather than the only copy of anything important.
