The Cocontext layer teams need

before AI acts

Not a replacement for your tools. Not autonomous AI. Just a persistent canvas where your team's thinking, decisions, and knowledge stay connected:
so AI has the full picture when you're ready to generate.

In AI era, you see the impact of good documentation within hours,
not quarters.

Gather context before you generate

Problem: Teams jump straight to AI generation without shared preparation

With illumi, assemble your context first. Upload files, paste Slack threads, structure your thinking on an infinite canvas. When you hit "generate," AI sees everything your team discussed—not just the final prompt.

Result: Stop recreating context. AI gets complete inputs, not fragments.

All four stages of collaboration in one place

Problem: Planning happens in whiteboards, decisions in Slack, execution in docs, knowledge in Notion—context breaks at every transition

With illumi, your team moves from brainstorming → alignment → AI co-creation → knowledge capture without switching tools. Context persists across the full lifecycle.

Result: 10x faster team alignment. Nothing gets lost between stages.

Use the best AI model for each task without leaving your workspace

Problem: Claude for writing, GPT-4 for code, Perplexity for research—each in a different tab. Context breaks. Your team loses flow switching between tools

With illumi, access multiple AI models in one shared canvas. Your "Strategic Thinker" workflow can use Claude. Your "Image Maker" uses DALL-E. Context stays connected. Team stays synced.

Result: Right model for the job. Zero context-switching. One source of truth for all AI work.

Knowledge that compounds, not resets

Problem: Every project starts from scratch. Team wisdom lives in Slack threads, forgotten meeting notes, and individual memories

With illumi, every workflow, prompt template, and insight becomes reusable team knowledge. New hires inherit what worked. Projects build on past learning.

Result: 80% time saved turning messy group input into clear outcomes.

What makes Illumi truly valuable to me is how it organizes multi-source data into cards and uses AI to synthesize insights—sparking fresh ideas in ways other AI tools can't match. The team is also incredibly responsive, quickly resolving any questions I have. Highly recommended!

What’s great is that illumi is like Notion together with AI generation tools. I often use both at the same time, and having everything on one platform is really convenient.

I’ve had a fantastic experience using illumi as my “digital memory layer.” As someone who regularly creates developer marketing and educational content with LLMs, illumi makes it easy to organize the important context I need for brainstorming and drafting. The ability to selectively include context in a visual graph helps me manage complex, interrelated ideas. This kind of product is incredibly valuable in the new age of AI!

illumi is a great tool that combines note-taking, brainstorming, and powerful AI interactions in an intuitive open board format. Features like cards, shapes, and the ability to hide lines make it highly customizable, and I find its AI prompts especially helpful for brainstorming and organizing my ideas. I haven’t found any other app that offers this level of flexibility and intelligence—it's become my go-to when I want to develop and explore my thoughts!

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Let us answer the most common ones to help you get started fast and feel confident about using illumi.

Do I need a team to start using illumi?

Expand

No. illumi works for solo use and scales to teams seamlessly. Many users start by organizing their own research, saving prompts as reusable cards, and building personal knowledge boards. When you're ready to collaborate, your individual work becomes the foundation for team alignment—no migration needed, no context lost.

How is illumi different from Miro or Figma?

Expand

Miro and Figma excel at visual collaboration, but they're built for brainstorming and design—not for AI-powered knowledge work. illumi is different: it's where your team gathers context, structures thinking, and co-works with AI on the same canvas. Miro boards disappear after the meeting. illumi boards become persistent team knowledge that compounds over time. If your team is using AI to get work done, illumi ensures that work doesn't happen in silos.

How is illumi different from Notion or Confluence?

Expand

Notion and Confluence are built for storing finished work—documents, wikis, databases. illumi is built for creating that work in the first place. It's where your team gathers messy input, structures thinking, collaborates with AI, and aligns on decisions. Once you've done the hard work of preparation and synthesis in illumi, then you export polished outputs to Notion or Confluence for storage. Different jobs: illumi handles upstream thinking, Notion handles downstream documentation.

Why should I care about content for AI, shouldn't it just do everything for me?

Expand

Here's the problem most teams hit: they ask AI to "write a strategy doc" or "analyze this market" with zero context. AI generates something polished but generic—what we call "AI slop." You spend hours rewriting it.

Because AI needs the same context a new team member needs: What did we already try? What constraints matter? What's our specific situation?

illumi solves this by making context preparation collaborative. Your team gathers relevant files, past decisions, and constraints on a shared canvas before activating AI. When AI finally acts, it has the full picture—not just a one-line prompt. Result: outputs that actually match what you need, not generic fluff.

What happens to my work if someone leaves the team?

Expand

It stays. Unlike Slack threads or individual ChatGPT histories that disappear when people leave, illumi boards preserve the why behind decisions, the context that shaped outputs, and the workflows that worked. New team members can see what was tried before, what constraints mattered, and how past projects approached similar problems. Your team's institutional knowledge compounds instead of resetting every time someone moves on.

How do I convince my team to try another tool?

Expand

You don't need to replace anything. Start with one small use case: next time your team is planning a project, create an illumi board. Gather everyone's input, structure it together, run AI to generate initial drafts—then compare that experience to your usual workflow of scattered Slack messages and individual ChatGPT sessions.

Most teams see the value within one session. They're not adopting "another tool"—they're fixing the context-switching chaos that AI work created. We also offer free demo sessions where we walk your team through a real use case.

Where can I learn more about illumi?

Expand

We have several resources depending on what you're looking for:

Can I try illumi before committing my team?

Expand

Absolutely. Start with a free individual account and build a few boards. When you're ready to invite teammates, you can upgrade seamlessly—all your work carries over. No credit card required to start. No pressure to upgrade until you're seeing value.

Do I need to subscribe to all the models you provide?

Expand

No. One illumi subscription gives you access to multiple AI models—including Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Stable Diffusion, GPT Image, Nano Banana, and Kimi (availability varies by region). We handle the updates automatically. You pick the right model for each task without juggling multiple subscriptions or managing API keys. In the future, we'll also support Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) if you prefer to use your own AI credentials.

What's the learning curve? Will my team actually use it?

Expand

Most teams are productive within 15 minutes. If you've used Miro or FigJam, the canvas feels familiar. If you've used ChatGPT, the AI interactions feel natural. The difference is how they work together.

We've found the biggest adoption barrier isn't complexity—it's teams realizing they can prepare together before hitting "generate." Once that clicks, usage becomes habitual. We also provide templates for common workflows (strategy planning, content creation, research synthesis) so teams don't start from a blank canvas.

How much does illumi cost?

Expand

We're currently in beta, so early users get full access to test all features. Post-beta, we'll have individual and team pricing tiers. Beta users will receive preferential pricing when we launch. Sign up now to lock in early access pricing, or book a demo to discuss team needs.

I already pay for ChatGPT, can I bring my license to illumi?

Expand

Currently no, but illumi gives you access to multiple AI models (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Nano Banana and more) in one subscription—so you're not locked into a single provider. If you're a ChatGPT Pro user, or want to use your own model, reach out to our team. We offer special access options to make the transition easier.
