Don't hand everything to AI. Write the skeleton yourself — let AI fill in the rest in your context.
Add the core of your idea to 9 squares, and AI completes what's missing.
Type a prompt into a blank page and you get something average and safe — with none of your perspective, your voice, or your conviction.
But filling out every cell of a framework (SWOT, BMC, OKR…) on your own takes more time and creative energy than most people have.
What you need is neither full AI delegation nor going it alone. You need co-creation: you write the skeleton, AI fills in the rest.
The Mandala Chart — famously used by Shohei Ohtani for goal setting — uses the physical constraint of 9 squares to focus your mind. Fill in what you can, and AI completes the rest in your context.
Put your topic in the center, then fill in the squares you can. AI reads your context and the framework structure to complete what's missing.
Built-in proven frameworks — SWOT analysis, Business Model Canvas, OKR, and more. No more staring at a blank page.
Choose from proven frameworks like SWOT, BMC, OKR, 3C, 4P, and PEST. No blank-page paralysis — just pick a structure and start. Creative templates are available too.
Click any square to expand it into its own 9-square chart. Drill down from surface ideas to core insights with a nested, layered thinking structure.
Export your Mandala Chart as Excel, PDF, or Markdown in one click. Share with your team or drop into any document instantly.
Business, academia, creative writing, life decisions — the process of writing a skeleton and letting AI fill it in applies to any kind of thinking.
Structure a new venture idea with SWOT or BMC. AI adds market analysis and competitive perspective — giving your proposal a solid, persuasive backbone.
Break your research topic into 9 squares and organize prior work, methodology, and expected challenges. Your paper structure becomes visible at a glance.
Design protagonist, setting, conflict, and turning points across 9 squares. AI suggests subplots and secondary characters to add depth to your story.
Build a character's inner world, appearance, relationships, and arc in 3D. Built-in frameworks prevent blind spots in your character sheets.
The same framework Shohei Ohtani used — now with AI. Map out every action you need to take to reach your goals, comprehensively.
Career changes, grad school, big purchases — at any crossroads. See pros, risks, and timelines for every option across 9 squares.
Enter your topic in the center square (e.g., "New product launch"), then pick a framework from the left panel — SWOT, BMC, OKR, or others to fit your goal.
Fill in whichever squares you can. You don't need to complete them all — 3 or 4 is plenty. The squares you leave blank become your instructions to AI.
Hit "AI Assist" and AI fills in the remaining squares. Regenerate any square you're not happy with. When you're done, export to Excel, PDF, or Markdown.
