What is Dessix: Making AI Your Thought Partner
Have you ever experienced this dilemma?
In the morning, with a cup of coffee and sunlight, you open your note-taking app to rekindle yesterday's inspiration, only to get lost in a maze of tabs and countless applications; chatting with ChatGPT feels like conversing with a sage, yet it's hard to remember conversations from a few days ago, leading to an inefficient cycle of copying and pasting.
These phenomena reveal the awkward situation of the digital age: the convenience of unlimited information access and the gap in deep thinking. Traditional note-taking software, though sophisticated, often limits itself to mechanical organization and archiving, failing to truly touch the core value of knowledge management: How can records assist us in deep thinking and decision-making?
If you resonate with this, perhaps it's time to meet Dessix.
What is Dessix?
Dessix is not a traditional note-taking tool but an innovative thinking operating system focused on achieving deep collaboration between humans and AI. Through automated, structured, and organic information connections, Dessix builds a shared context system between humans and artificial intelligence.

Capture your inspirations, structure your ideas, and collaborate with AI in one place.
Dessix helps AI truly understand your thought process, capturing precisely what you are reading or thinking, and providing just the right assistance, becoming your thoughtful thinking partner.
Why Do We Need Dessix?
The creation of Dessix stems from a deep reflection on existing AI interaction methods and knowledge management.
In our daily interactions with AI tools and information recording, we often encounter the following three key pain points:
- Context Fragmentation: Current AI models struggle to continuously understand user context, leading to fragmented conversations, repeated explanations, and low communication efficiency.
- Difficulty in Knowledge Retention: Insights and ideas generated in AI conversations lack systematic recording and reuse mechanisms, making them easy to forget.
- High Collaboration Costs: Users need to repeatedly copy and paste content and manually build context, causing time wastage and experience fatigue.
Research shows (Mark et al., 2008) that knowledge workers are interrupted every 3 minutes on average, and frequent context switching severely affects focus and productivity.
Dessix, inspired by human cognitive mechanisms, simulates the working memory space, enabling shared context to facilitate the flow of information between humans and AI, achieving more efficient collaboration and thought extension, helping users extract value from information fragments and enhance creative efficiency.

Who is Dessix For?
Dessix is designed for anyone looking to improve efficiency, deepen thinking, and establish a collaborative relationship with AI, especially suitable for the following groups:
- Knowledge Workers: Such as consultants, analysts, lawyers, project managers, who need to handle large amounts of information and make high-level decisions.
- Academic Researchers: Including teachers, students, and researchers, facing complex literature and logical deductions, Dessix provides clear context sorting capabilities.
- Content Creators: Such as writers, designers, marketers, who need to constantly organize inspiration and materials during the creative process, Dessix is an ideal inspiration carrier.
- AI Enthusiasts and Developers: Geeks passionate about exploring and building AI applications, looking to create smarter collaborative workflows.
- Lifelong Learners: People committed to continuous self-improvement, Dessix can be a companion for cognitive organization and thought deepening.
If you often face the issues mentioned above, then Dessix might be the answer you've been looking for.
It's important to note that Dessix does not focus on managing all your raw information but focuses on your thought process about the information, helping you extract insights, find clues, and inspire wisdom from fragments.
How Does Dessix Work?
The core operating mechanism of Dessix is built on the abstraction of "blocks." This block is the smallest structural unit of information and the basic unit of shared perception between humans and AI. Every note, web fragment, conversation, even a frame of video or an image, can be distilled into a block.
We don't just store these blocks but build a semantic link network between blocks through your interaction with AI. Every conversation with your AI is a new link generation process—it not only helps you connect your thoughts but also allows AI to perceive and participate in your knowledge organization.
This structure makes Dessix not just a static stack of information but a dynamically evolving thought map, an innovation beyond note double-linking.
Key Features of Dessix:
- Block-Centric Structured Model: Whether notes, documents, conversations, web pages, images, or videos, can be abstracted into blocks for flexible integration and reorganization.
- Linear Side-by-Side Reading Interface: Information blocks are arranged horizontally, supporting structured text vertically, balancing free expression and thought organization, avoiding information overload.
- Dynamic Context Awareness: By tracking cursor position, selected text, and screen view in real-time, Dessix automatically infers your focus of thought, building precise context.
- Powerful AI Collaboration Engine: Combining preset Actions and Scenes, achieving efficient knowledge extraction, creation, summarization, and association.
Through Dessix, AI is no longer a tool waiting for questions but a partner co-evolving thought paths with you—understanding your context, participating in your problem analysis, and generating valuable outputs together.
Core Philosophy: Shared Context
The soul of Dessix lies in: Shared Context, Collaborating with AI in Thought.
The Meaning of Shared Context: Human-Machine Collaboration from the Johari Window
In psychology, the Johari Window model proposes four areas between self-awareness and others' awareness: Open Self, Blind Self, Hidden Self, and Unknown Self. This model is often used to describe cognitive boundaries and understanding processes between people.
In the process of collaborating with AI, Dessix is striving to expand the "Open Self" between humans and AI—the context area known to both humans and AI, which we call the "Shared Knowledge Domain". By continuously sharing context, Dessix allows AI to see the content users are focused on, their thoughts, thus forming a feedback mechanism synchronized with human cognition.
The larger this "Open Self" becomes, the more precise and efficient the help AI provides, and the deeper the collaboration. This is not just a technical optimization but an expression of human and AI cognitive integration.
Dessix's Vision: Human-Machine Symbiosis
This philosophy transcends technology and is a new way of cognition. Dessix helps you and AI coexist in the same cognitive space—"Shared Knowledge Domain", fully leveraging human creativity and AI's computational advantages to achieve efficient collaboration.
"Man-computer symbiosis is an expected development in cooperative interaction between men and electronic computers. It will involve very close coupling between the human and the electronic members of the partnership."
— J.C.R. Licklider, "Man-Computer Symbiosis", 1960
As computer scientist J.C.R. Licklider proposed in 1960, "Man and computer closely combined, complementing each other's strengths, solving problems together." Dessix is practicing this vision, making AI your true thought partner.
Looking Forward to the Future of Dessix
We have high expectations for Dessix, hoping it can:
- Become the ultimate thinking operating system for users, effectively organizing information and promoting deep thinking.
- Create a true symbiotic platform for humans and AI, collaboratively exploring the boundaries of knowledge.
- Help everyone take control of their information algorithms, redefining the way information is accessed and created.
Dessix, dancing with your thoughts, exploring the infinite possibilities of knowledge together.
