Dim0

An open-source AI canvas where you think and research visually - notes, diagrams, code, and an AI agent that builds directly on the board.

Dim0's landing page hero section showing the tagline 
"Your canvas thinks back." with the subtitle "Research 
visually. Think spatially. Build with AI." and the 
handwritten line "Your thoughts deserve more than a chat 
window." Below is the AI agent input bar with an example 
prompt "Why do we dream, i..." powered by Claude Sonnet 4.5.

(green) ? The Old Way with Text CoT and its problems 
(pink) ? The New Way with direct spatial markers (orange) 
? Results showing smaller models matching GPT-5.4 and 
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (light orange).
An interactive Dim0 widget titled "Visual Primitives 
Explainer" comparing the old text-based approach ("the 
red square", vague, 36x more tokens) versus the new 
spatial token approach using point and box markers 
(precise, minimal tokens), matching GPT-5.4 and Claude 
Sonnet 4.6 with smaller models.

an AI-generated mind map with a central node explaining 
Machine Learning, connected to five color-coded nodes: 
Key Concepts, Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, 
Reinforcement Learning, and Common Applications. The agent 
panel shows 11 steps completed.

What is Dim0?

Dim0 is an open-source thinking canvas where your AI doesn't answer in a chat — it builds directly on your board.

Most tools keep your notes in one place, your diagrams in another, and your AI in a chat box. Dim0 puts everything on one infinite canvas.

What you can do:

  • Write rich notes with markdown, math, and code blocks
  • Draw shapes and connect ideas spatially like Excalidraw
  • Execute code directly inside canvas nodes
  • Generate live charts, widgets, and visual explainers on the board
  • Ask the AI agent anything — it searches the web, reasons in steps, and creates nodes directly on your canvas
  • Organize work with nested boards and present directly from the canvas using frame nodes

The AI agent is board-aware — it reads your canvas context before acting, searches the web, runs code, and places results as nodes on your board. No copy-paste. No tab switching.

100% open source (MIT), self-hostable, works with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek and more.
