Writing visually has never been so easy
VizWriter is a new type of software for creating interactive learning content, note-taking, sharing knowledge, studying, and productivity!
Technically, it is the world's first "visual modeling language" word processor and presentation software.
A document or web content created using VizWriter is called a VizDoc. VizDocs are highly interactive, highly structured, non-linear, multimodal, accessible to a broad range of diverse learners, automatically labeled, and pedagogically advanced. Create next-generation web learning content and office documents using VizWriter.

Super easy to use
VizWriter is super easy to use because the rules of VizLanguage are built into the application. Depending on your age and background, you can learn how to create a VizDoc in 30-90 minutes. See video here.
VizWriter vs PowerPoint
PowerPoint is great for presentation of low content volume ("shallow" information). For example, use PowerPoint for a TED talk or introducing a new product on stage.VizWriter is superior for presentation of high content volume ("deep” information). For example, use VizWriter to convey complex academic and business topics where the amount of information to be understood and recalled is large.
VizWriter vs Google Docs
Word processors (such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs) are great for many functions. For example, they are great for producing documents that need to be printed or adhere to certain publishing formats. They are great for storytelling and linear presentation of passive content.
VizWriter is superior for creating web content that is highly interactive, highly structured, non-linear, visual and optimized for learning and communication of complex ideas.

VII. For AI training businesses
AI platforms can create and use VizDocs for enhanced training of large language models (LLMs) or reasoning/cognitive systems.
Problem: During pre-training phase, a large language model is trained on a massive corpus of text data to learn language patterns and generate coherent responses. However, the model doesn't have explicit knowledge of structured information or relationships between entities. Instead, it learns associations and statistical patterns from the text. As such, it can produce inaccurate or unreliable responses.
Solution: By incorporating VizDocs (a form of knowledge graph) during the fine-tuning phase of training, a language model like ChatGPT can learn to leverage the structured information and relationships encoded within the graph to enhance its:
1) understanding,
2) reasoning,
3) fact-checking,
4) entity resolution,
5) contextual generation capabilities.
