BlankSlot
AI workspace on a canvasBeta · available now

Work every angle of a problem, at once.

An AI workspace where the conversation lives as a tree on a canvas. Give any passage its own branch with context intact, drive several lines of inquiry side by side, and let Auto mode map the sub-questions. The main thread stays clean.

Context stays attached Branches stay comparable Auto mode stays reviewable

01The problem

why am I re-explaining everything, again??

AI chat breaks when the work branches.

Follow a tangent and the main task disappears. Ignore it and the insight is lost. BlankSlot gives each tangent its own context-aware branch.

ForkedThe tangent gets its own branch
02The workspace

One canvas. Three moves a single thread can't make.

Every conversation is a node on an infinite canvas: pan, zoom, drag. The structure of your work stays visible the whole time.

⌘ Canvas·3 projects · 8 branches·drag to pan, drag a node to move it
02·A · Side by side

Drive several lines of inquiry, at the same time.

Pin the branches that matter and open them side by side over the canvas. Ask in one while another develops: several vectors of the same problem, advancing together.

⌥P pin a node⌥⏎ open side by sideEsc fold it away

Outcome: options get compared under your eyes, so decisions land faster.

02·B · Fork

Follow a tangent without derailing the main task.

Select any useful passage and give it a branch of its own. It keeps the context up to that exact point, while your original task stays clean and easy to resume.

  • contextinherits everything up to the fork point
  • isolatedstarts clean: just the passage
  • explaininherits, then unpacks the passage first

Outcome: you never re-explain context; the branch already knows it.

02·C · Auto mode

Turn a broad goal into a tree you review first.

Auto mode maps the sub-questions and proposes a working tree before it starts. Keep what matters, remove what does not, then let each approved branch develop.

You stay in control of the plan before any long run begins.

Outcome: long explorations start scoped and reviewed, not improvised.

One question. Every axis, side by side.

03Context

See and control what every branch remembers.

Every branch shows the live composition of its context: inherited history, local turns and documents. No more guessing what the model remembers.

See where every token goes

Inherited, local, documents, system: every branch shows where its tokens come from, and from which parent.

Refine the scope

Trim what a branch inherits, regenerate its context from the current parent state, or step back up to the parent.

Compact older turns

One click summarizes a branch's older turns and frees budget for what's next. Your latest exchanges stay word-for-word.

Sharpen before you spend tokens⌘K

A guided refiner turns a vague prompt into a precise one, before it costs you tokens.

04How it works

From one question to a working map.

STEP 01

Create your account

Open your workspace and start a Main on the canvas. Choose the model available for each branch, directly in the composer.

STEP 02

Branch or delegate

Fork from any passage as you read, or hand the topic to Auto mode and review the tree it plans.

STEP 03

Work in parallel

Pin branches and open them side by side. Fold what's resolved; the map keeps the lineage.

RoadmapIn design

Branches are the beginning. Persistent artifacts and simple data sheets will live on the same canvas, connected to the work that produced them.

05FAQ

What you need to know before you start.

Which models can I use?

The available model list appears directly in the composer. You can choose a model for each branch without leaving the canvas.

Do I need an invitation?

No. The beta is available now: create an account and open your first workspace.

How much does it cost?

The beta is free: create an account and start working. Pricing will be announced before the public launch.

What exactly does a branch inherit?

By default, everything up to the passage you forked from. Isolated mode starts clean; explain mode unpacks the passage first. The token donut on every node shows the exact composition, and Refine scope lets you trim it.

Where do my conversations live?

Data handling will be documented before public launch. During beta, ask us for the current processing and retention details before importing sensitive material.
