> Put a question in the middle of a canvas and let AI lay out several lines of thought around it.
> Follow the branch that matters, dig as deep as you like, then pull what you found into an answer.

## What this page is

`/think/` is the entry point of **MindMax Think**, a browser application built around a canvas. It
is a JavaScript application, not a static article; the HTML is a shell. This Markdown mirror exists
so that a crawler, an AI assistant or someone reading raw HTML can still tell what the tool is.

MindMax itself is a **desktop AI workspace for macOS and Windows** that reads, thinks and writes
with you inside a folder you already own. Think is the "thinking" part: a canvas for working
through a question instead of chatting about it.

## What you can do here

- **Start from one question.** The canvas lays out several independent lines of thought rather than
  a single linear answer.
- **Dig into any branch.** Each node can be expanded; the surrounding context stays visible, so you
  never lose the thread you came from.
- **Use a thinking model.** SCAMPER, first principles, red team, six thinking hats and other
  methods are written as plain-text Skills and can be applied to a branch.
- **Solve, decide, brainstorm, learn or read.** The same canvas serves a decision, a literature
  map, an article breakdown or a study plan; see the example canvases under `/tools/`.
- **Pull it back into an answer.** What you found on the canvas becomes a document you can export
  in the desktop app.

## What it is not

- Not a mind-map drawing tool with manual layout as the main job; the AI fills the branches.
- Not the full desktop app. A persistent canvas saved in your own folder, cross-file work and the
  MCP server are desktop features.
- Not a mobile app, a team whiteboard or a general-purpose assistant.
- MindMax is made by the same team as FunBlocks; the earlier "FunBlocks MindMax" AI visual thinking suite
  under this domain is its predecessor in spirit. See https://mindmax.me/press/#name-and-history

## Technical notes

The page is served by a separate Cloudflare Worker under `/think/*`. Its canonical URL is
`https://mindmax.me/think/`. Example canvases under `/think/embed/*` are `noindex` and canonicalise
to their static `/tools/` pages, which are the pages intended to rank. JavaScript is required to
run the canvas.
