Dessix is a logic-first visual space for deep creators. Instead of wrestling with prompts, you build context visually, making AI an extension of your own thinking. Achieve true alignment—you know what the AI knows, and it grasps your goals. Ditch the black box, accelerate your creation, and finally, take control.
Hi Product Hunt — Hsiang (Alex Xiang) here, founder of Dessix 👋
The biggest challenge in collaborating with AI isn't its capability, but the trust gap between us.
AI often feels like a 'black box.' We can't see its context, so we can't be sure if its answers are reliable. To compensate for this uncertainty, we're stuck in a cycle of trial and error, constantly copying and pasting to manually calibrate every single output.
Dessix was created to solve this fundamental trust issue. We've built a visual thinking space where what you see is what the AI sees.
We make this trust tangible through three core features:
1. Visualized Context: Arrange your notes and resources side-by-side in a multi-column space. The context you build for the AI is crystal clear, eliminating the guesswork.
2. Focus as the Prompt: Your every click and focus directly guides the AI's attention, giving you absolute control.
3. Stay in the Driver's Seat & Reflect: We've designed "Actions" and "Scenes" to help you deeply integrate with AI and amplify your abilities. At the same time, they enable you to bring in a critical perspective at any moment, helping you avoid cognitive traps like confirmation bias and information bubbles.
If you're a professional who demands high precision in context and logical rigor—like a researcher, analyst, strategist, or writer—then Dessix is designed specifically for you.

I'll be here all day and look forward to hearing your feedback
l just checked out it, everything seems fine but receiving output takes time and sometimes the UI seems frozen while waiting for the response, these can be fixed
it genuinely changes the workflow. Building context visually feels faster than writing prompts, and the AI follows the structure I set up instead of guessing. That clarity makes iterations smoother and reduces wasted back-and-forth. It’s not perfect for every edge case, but overall I get more predictable, aligned results and spend less time wrestling with the model. For creators who want control and transparency, Dessix is a practical upgrade.
Congrats! Dessix seems like a real time-saver. Reducing a lot of repetitive prompt input and avoids having to restate the same context across different sections. I especially like how the context is structured and arranged when having multiple events on the board, better than treating everything as isolated prompts.
What inspired the "multi-column" design over a traditional infinite canvas？
How does the AI practically nudge the user to see alternative perspectives within the workspace?
If the functionality is more robust, would it be more suitable for programming and testing, of course, at present
Congratulations on the launch — really interesting product!
After spending extended time with Dessix, the biggest difference I notice is reduced cognitive friction. I can think longer, deeper, and with fewer interruptions caused by context loss. That alone makes it invaluable for serious work.
Amazing product! It's great to have a product concentrate on the context crafting!
The copywriting mentions "Ditch the black box". However, at the technical level, LLM itself is a probabilistic model. How did Dessix achieve "transparency"? Did it present the Chain of Thought or allow users to intervene in the intermediate steps?
Recommendation: Dessix – A Great Helper for Graduation Thesis Writing
As a student currently working on my graduation thesis, I’ve tried quite a few tools, and Dessix has been a pleasant surprise—it’s perfectly suited to the needs of thesis writing.
What stands out most about it is its rigorous logic. Theses have high requirements for the completeness of arguments. Earlier, when I was organizing my thesis outline, I always encountered logical gaps—for example, the connection between "research methods" and "conclusions" felt disjointed. Dessix could accurately identify such issues and even suggest ways to address them, helping me build a solid and coherent framework.
Moreover, its large model keeps up with my writing train of thought. Many tools tend to veer off track, either generating irrelevant content or disrupting my rhythm. But Dessix feels like it "understands me": when I jot down a draft of an argument, it first asks follow-up questions that align with my ideas, then refines the content based on my responses. This way, it preserves my control over the writing while giving me a nudge when I get stuck.
What’s more practical is its rich scenario-specific prompts. They cover the entire thesis-writing process, from extracting key points from literature in the early stage, optimizing the logic of data-based arguments in the middle stage, to refining keywords in the later stage. Once, I was stuck on phrasing the innovative points of my research. After using the corresponding prompt, Dessix quickly helped me sort out an argument structure of "research gaps – breakthroughs – value," which was much faster than figuring it out on my own.
Quick question about Dessix — the visual hierarchy feels very intentional, especially in how attention is guided without heavy UI or effects.
From a design standpoint, what trade-offs did you have to make to keep the interface this focused while still supporting more complex use cases?
Asking because that restraint really comes through in the first impression.
Bridging the trust gap is a huge selling point. Being able to visually verify the context before generating output saves so much time on calibration.
This resonates a lot.
One of the biggest problems I’ve seen with AI tools is that users don’t trust outputs because everything happens inside a black box. Visualizing context instead of forcing users to “prompt harder” feels like the right mental model.
As a builder, I like that this shifts AI from trial-and-error to something more intentional and inspectable. This could be especially powerful for creators who work with complex ideas or long-form content. Excited to see where this goes 🚀
I love the 'visual workspace' approach. Prompting can feel like a black box sometimes, so building context visually makes total sense. Does Dessix allow exporting these visual maps as structured documentation, or is it purely for internal ideation?
Really excited for you guys! Congratsss 👌
Do you expose any export/import formats (e.g., JSON with embeddings or custom schema) for developers integrating Dessix workflows into web apps (via iframe/embed) or mobile wrappers (PWA/Capacitor)?
If I'm to use an analogy, it's like Pinterest or a Miro board for generating research/copy with AI, right? I'm curious to see how interactive it is, especially when following a thinking process. Overall, I got a flashback from some sci-fi film: what if it could also give voice suggestions?
Wow, Dessix looks amazing! The visual context building is a total game changer. Im curious, how does Dessix handle iterative feedback loops when working with complex datasets?
I really like the framing around trust and visibility. How do you think about preventing context drift over time as users keep adding and rearranging material? Does the system help users notice when the AI’s “mental model” starts diverging from theirs?
