Quick Start

Sign up

Create your Ryzome account at ryzome.ai . No API keys or complex setup required - just sign up and you’re ready to start thinking visually.

Dashboard overview

Once logged in, you’ll see your dashboard with options to create a new canvas. Click “Create canvas” to start your first visual workspace.

Add a node

Click anywhere on the canvas to create your first node. Ryzome nodes support rich markdown content including:

• Images and media - Drag and drop or paste directly
• URLs and links - Automatically formatted and previewed
• Tables and data - CSV, JSON, and structured content
• Code blocks - Syntax highlighted code snippets
• Rich formatting - Headers, lists, emphasis, and more

Use AI (prompt hat)

Hover your mouse over a node to reveal it’s AI prompt interface. Here’s how it works:

• Overwrites existing content: The AI replaces the current node content with its response
• Node is both input and response: Your prompt becomes the AI’s answer
• Directly editable: You can edit the AI-generated content immediately
• Context-aware: Connected nodes provide context for better responses

Build context with connections

Connect nodes by dragging from one node’s edge to another. This is where Ryzome’s power shines:

• Direct connections only: Only directly connected nodes count as context
• Multiple inputs allowed: A node can receive context from several connected nodes
