Aibase is a universal software: Knowledge Builder, Learn Helper, Hyperlink System, Outliner (with notes), Vector Graphics Editor, Calculator (is document-content; extensible by Python), Concept-Mapper, Mind-Mapper and Flow-Charter. Aibase is ideal for knowledge work in areas of larger complexity (interlinking).
What is the fundamental concept of Aibase?
Aibase is optimized for structuring thoughts and ideas in an efficient information space, leading to many positive effects on learning, creative work, task solving and project management. An efficient information space relieves the human memory in many ways. Computer memory is typically used as long-term memory. But optimized information spaces like Aibase also adapt to the specialties of the human short-term memory: They cluster related information visibly, and by links and notes. They emphasize information by colors. Fast navigation, automatic document-creation and single-key operations give you more time to focus on your information. You can quickly break down complex information into trees for better understanding.
Aibase allows you to solve tasks with largest complexity. Such a task can grow up to thousands of linked documents (by help of automatic document-creation). The more complex a task, the higher the demands on the human memory. And the reverse: If the human memory is relieved, then the solvable complexity, quality and security increases. Users who spend much time with Aibase will even find that they never reach limits to understand new complex information.
Aibase already optimizes well-known information structures: trees (collapsible), tables, shapes, equations, animations, hyperlinks, notes. These structures represent a solid platform for going into information spaces with more complexity. Future versions of Aibase will optimize further and will add many scientific structures, so we can interactively explore science in many dimensions (2D, 3D, and time).

Personal Memory Manager helps you spin-off from the top: manage your own knowledge and ideas. When you write a diary or weblog, study for an exam, work on a research paper, scenario or book, you can create or import your notes into PMM and map them out like sticky or yellow notes on one or many whiteboards (one for each aspect). You model and construct one integrated "body of knowledge" representing your mind. At any moment and from any bit, you can recollect and visualize the whole information architecture surrounding it, as context, and improve on or learn from it!
Argunet Editor is a free argument map editor for analyzing and visualizing complex debates. You can use it offline and save your debates on your hard-disk. Or you can use it as a client-server application. This allows you to share your debates and collaborate with others on the Argunet server.
Fast sketching mode: You can use Argunet to quickly outline the macro-structure of a debate. Sketching debates is quite intuitive and you will get the hang of it without much effort.
Logical precision: In contrast to other argument mapping software, Argunet doesn’t stop there. It gives you the tools to go into every logical detail of an argument. This is where Argunet really shines: Every argument can be reconstructed as a logically valid premise-conclusion structure. Relations between arguments can be systematically traced back to the logical relations between the sentences used as their premises and conclusions.
Support for different methods: Argunet doesn’t impose any special kind of logic or method on you. You can choose your own inference rules or argument schemes. And because it combines argument maps with the traditional “standard form” of single arguments as lists of premises and conclusions, Argunet is open to very different methods of argument reconstruction, ranging from simple mind-mapping to formal logic.
If this all sounds like gibberish to you, don’t worry. We have written some easy tutorials to get you going with your first argument map. This will only take a few minutes.
