Nodalist is a visual reasoning workspace where users build ideas as connected nodes on an infinite canvas, then expand them with three AI thinking modes (Breakdown, Decision, Generative). It offers AI Storming, a live moderated debate between six AI models, and AI Grounding, a four-stage cited deep web research pipeline. Users can upload files (PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, images) which AI reads directly or via an agentic RAG system, including OCR for scanned documents, and export their work as documents or visuals.
