How to Research any Topic with InfraNodus, Obsidian, and ChatGPT

I recommend starting by generating the ideas using the AI to get a conceptual map around the topic of your interest. The next step is to discover the scientific research on the subject and some recurrent patterns and ideas. It may be useful to save some ideas to #Obsidian at that stage in order to keep track of the most important discoveries. If you'd like to explore a certain tangent, #ChatGPT is very useful for outlining some possible directions. After that, you can use InfraNodus Google Scholar / scientific publication search to each of those branches in more detail.

Excellent. More tutorials like this please.

I would love to see some series on programming topics, especially PHP/Laravel and Tailwind CSS. :)

Prebuilt maps on maths topics would be great. Often we dont know the flow and keep searching online. For example map on probability or statistics.

this is really interesting now. i wish infranodus is built in obsidian like a plugin but offcourse paid, coz i use obsidian and its better that way to have a research powerhouse like infranodus

I'm extremely interested in the application, but a self-hosted version where we supply our own API keys, and where we can choose the models being used and enable things like OpenRouter would be appreciated. I know you have things priced for frequent users by eating the API costs on your end, but I (and several people I've shown this to) would rather use our existing API keys and have access to the service offline. It would certainly help get the product out there.

Excellent tutorial! @noduslabs . Could you please let me know what software you used to create this video? The zoom-in on the product, front-facing video, and the blue background.

What is the difference between the basic account and the advanced account? Will I still be able to do the same process you did above?

[vaibhavigawe]

i was working on this back in 2011/2012... back at the university of Florida 😢

It looks cool but the website is dysfunctional, I cannot sign up and make an account

[ic_jason]

Is this visualizing the latent space of the word embeddings?

[gonzaloalessandrelli]

how can I leverage your tool to do research over reddit?

[ThexBorg]

Is InfraNodus a free service? Or use my Google account to log in?

[Mehrdadkh]

Is there other similar tools like that ?

[JaredFarrer]

It looks cool but it isn’t friendly to actual users you just try and charge right off bat. This is why open source software to paid subscription is always better model for things like this

[JaredFarrer]

You make it almost impossible to try and sign up
