The TISIT Story
Building the future of AI-native knowledge management
"Curiosity is the beginning of wisdom." — Aristotle
The Question That Started It All
"What is it?" - A question curious minds ask constantly, yet traditional tools make it surprisingly hard to answer well.
In an age of information abundance, we're drowning in content but starving for understanding. You bookmark articles you'll never read. You save papers that gather digital dust. You learn something profound on Monday and forget it by Friday.
Traditional learning tools fall into predictable patterns:
The Bookmark Black Hole
Save for later. Read it never. Your browser has 347 tabs and you can't remember why you opened any of them.
The Note-Taking Trap
Write it down, lose it forever. Your notes are scattered across apps, notebooks, and napkins.
The Forgetting Curve
Learn today, forget tomorrow. Without spaced repetition, knowledge evaporates like morning dew.
Our Vision: AI-Native Knowledge Management
We're building the first learning platform designed from the ground up for the AI era.
Intelligence That Works For You
Traditional tools are dumb containers. TISIT is your thinking partner. It doesn't just store information—it understands context, extracts insights, and helps you build connections.
- AI extracts key concepts from papers automatically
- Web content analyzed for credibility and logic
- Related concepts discovered and linked
Spatial Navigation, Not Lists
Your brain doesn't think in folders. Why should your knowledge base? Wayfinder lets you navigate your knowledge spatially—by hierarchy, time, and familiarity.
- Arrow keys to explore your knowledge graph
- Visual relationships between concepts
- Navigate by what you know, not what you named it
Built-In Memory Science
Forgetting is the default. Retention requires strategy. TISIT bakes spaced repetition into every interaction, so knowledge actually sticks.
- Smart review intervals based on your performance
- Progressive difficulty as you master concepts
- Visit tracking shows what needs refreshing
Quality Over Quantity
The internet is full of noise. TISIT's built-in BS detector analyzes credibility and logical consistency so you learn from quality sources.
- Source credibility scoring
- Logical consistency analysis
- Bias detection and flagging
Our Philosophy
1. Curiosity Over Completion
We optimize for understanding, not checkboxes. Learning isn't about finishing courses—it's about satisfying curiosity and building mental models that last.
2. Depth Over Breadth
Better to truly understand 10 concepts than superficially know 100. Our tools encourage deep dives with Q&A, examples, and related concepts that build rich understanding.
3. Connection Over Collection
Knowledge isn't about hoarding facts—it's about building a web of understanding. We help you see relationships between concepts, creating a knowledge graph that mirrors how you think.
4. AI as Thinking Partner, Not Replacement
AI amplifies your intelligence, it doesn't replace it. We use AI to handle the grunt work (extraction, summarization, organization) so you can focus on synthesis, connection, and insight.
The Journey So Far
TISIT started as a simple question: "What if your learning tools actually helped you learn?"
I built the first version to solve my own problem. As a lifelong learner drowning in papers, articles, and ideas, I needed a way to actually retain and understand what I was reading. Bookmarks weren't working. Note-taking apps were glorified text editors. Search was getting me information, but not understanding.
The breakthrough came when I realized AI could do more than answer questions—it could help me build a personal knowledge graph. Not just storing information, but understanding it, connecting it, and helping me navigate it spatially.
Today, TISIT is evolving from a single-user tool into a platform for curious minds everywhere. We're building features that would have seemed like science fiction a few years ago:
- Cultivator turns academic papers into structured knowledge
- Web Harvester extracts insights from articles with credibility analysis
- Wayfinder lets you navigate your knowledge graph with arrow keys
- Spaced repetition ensures understanding that lasts
But we're just getting started. The vision is bigger: a world where AI-native tools help everyone become a better learner, thinker, and knowledge creator.
