illumi

illumi is an AI-powered visual workspace built for knowledge workers—founders, consultants, product teams, and marketers—who need to move from scattered notes and prompts to polished deliverables. Instead of juggling linear note apps and standalone chatbots, you capture ideas on a spatial canvas, structure them into context boards, and control exactly what each AI model sees. The tool's active context management lets you edit prompts, remove noisy inputs, and keep outputs aligned as projects evolve, so AI acts as a thinking partner rather than a black box. A core strength is multi-model comparison: run the same prompt across 30+ models, including premium ones like Claude 4.6 Sonnet, GPT-5.2, and Gemini 1.5 Pro, plus image generation via Stable Diffusion and IMAGEN4 Ultra. You see responses side-by-side and pick the direction worth building on. This is rare in a single workspace and especially useful for strategy work, research synthesis, GTM planning, and client proposals where comparing perspectives matters. illumi also emphasizes transparency. Teammates and guests can see the inputs, prompts, and reasoning behind every output, not just the final result. You can pull live web results into context, reference past work, and export finished documents to PDF, Markdown, or DOCX, or email them directly. Recent updates include a Draft Page for quick capture before ideas go to a board, the ability to build an 'AI crew' that assigns different models to different tasks, and deeper integration of past work as reusable context. Positioned against linear note-taking tools like Notion or standalone AI chat, illumi offers a structured, visual layer that keeps the thinking visible and reusable. It's web-only, with no mobile or desktop apps yet, and team features like real-time collaboration are still rolling out. For individuals and small teams focused on thinking-heavy work, it's a compelling alternative to stitched-together workflows.
