Neurite
An open-source AI mind-mapping workspace in your browser, with Ollama support, connected agents, and a local database for notes, webpages and PDFs.
Neurite is a browser-based AI mind-mapping workspace that places notes, media and AI conversations on a zoomable fractal canvas. It suits researchers, writers and developers who want to organize connected material and give AI agents access to it. The project is open source under the MIT license.
Its graph is both a visual notebook and a conversation interface. Connected AI nodes can exchange messages, share context from linked material and compare models using the same prompts. You can control which agents send or receive messages, including conversations that loop between nodes.
For local AI, Neurite connects to Ollama, transformers.js or a custom endpoint. It can also use OpenAI, Anthropic and Groq alongside local models. Local backends run inference on your hardware; choosing a cloud provider sends inference requests to that service.
The mind map stays synchronized with Markdown-based Zettelkasten notes in both directions, so edits in either view carry across. Graph search and vector search retrieve earlier notes and conversations as context. A local vector database stores material from webpages and PDFs for AI responses grounded in those documents.
The canvas supports images, audio and video alongside text, links and AI nodes. Physics-based node movement and customizable Mandelbrot, Julia and Burning Ship fractals shape the workspace. Wikipedia and Wolfram Alpha searches can place their results directly into the graph.
