A room made for thinkers
Design
All these metaphors are here to give your thinking
room to grow.
01 · The name
The name
The way follow-up questions branch off as an inquiry deepens calls to mind the countless branches spreading from a tree. Thinket takes this metaphor of "branches of thought" and sees every conversation in the main chat as a tree.
think + thicket = thi·n·ket
thicket /ˈθɪkɪt/
A dense, but generally small, growth of shrubs, bushes or small trees; a copse.

Fuse think, the act of thinking, into thicket, a word for dense brush, and our exploration tool Thinket is born.
The name is the very structure of the product. Each session, each chat, becomes a forest of its own, and it grows denser with the depth and breadth of your inquiry.
02 · Polygon
Polygon
Thinket's trees, forests, and icons are all drawn in a polygon style: a way of keeping only the essence of a shape with just a few polygons. Instead of depicting things realistically, we kept the fewest possible faces and angles. This is the same thing our product does. It clears the clutter out of a tangled conversation and leaves only the structure, the branches and the paths, standing sharp.
03 · My forest
My forest
As your exploration deepens, the trees you plant gather into "My forest." Each pair, your question and the AI's answer, becomes a single tree, and the forest grows denser as your inquiries pile up. Records of exploration scatter easily, so we collect them into one landscape, letting you look back at a glance on everything you've been digging into and keep it as your own. Perhaps knowledge isn't something you stack up, but something you grow.
The shape of each tree, and the spot where it's planted, is different every time. Every branch and leaf is drawn and placed differently, following the length of your questions and the AI's answers. No forest can ever be reproduced, and that's exactly what makes yours one of a kind. Your record of exploration belongs to you alone, and we wanted to carry it into a single picture, just as it is.
