Overview showing all notes connected to a topic, with the right panel displaying AI's structured analysis based on visible context

Why Do We Need Overview?

Left: traditional AI chat is a black box; Right: Dessix Overview makes context visible, sources traceable, and trust built on seeing

Making AI No Longer a Black Box

Problems with traditional AI conversations:

  • What does AI know? Unclear
  • What's the basis for answers? Guessing
  • How to build trust? By luck

Dessix Overview's Solution:

  • All context at a glance
  • Sources are traceable
  • Trust through "seeing"

Understanding AI's Logic

Overview shows:

  • Referenced Content - Content you referenced via @ Mention
  • Visible Content - Other notes expanded on the canvas

You can clearly see exactly what information AI referenced when answering.
