Parallel Branches

Ask the AI to generate multiple approaches from a single prompt. Compare code, writing, or strategies side-by-side.

Spatial Memory

Human brains map things visually. By laying out conversations on a canvas, you naturally retain the big picture of your session.

Ditch the Baggage

When the AI finally gives you a good answer after a messy back-and-forth, simply unplug it and attach it to a clean slate.

Designed for complex tasks.

Alyph isn't for checking the weather. It's built specifically to solve the friction of long-form iteration with AI.

Standard chat works fine if:

You use AI primarily for quick, discrete questions.

  • You only ask one-off questions scattered throughout the day.
  • You rarely find yourself scrolling back up to re-read what the AI said earlier.
  • You don't need to maintain multiple versions of the same document or idea.

Rewire your context.

Sometimes it takes a dozen messages of trial and error to get the exact answer you want. If you continue the chat from there, the AI carries the weight of all those past mistakes.

1

Notice the mess

You spend 5 messages correcting the AI. It finally gives you the perfect response.

2

Unplug and snap

Grab the wire attached to that perfect answer and plug it directly into your original question. The messy history is bypassed completely.

A canvas built for code.

Stop wrestling with markdown in a tiny chat window. Alyph treats code as a first-class citizen, with native support for multi-file generation.

  • Scaffold entire components with separate, organized code blocks for HTML, CSS, and JS from a single prompt.
  • Easily copy, download, or view individual files in a detailed modal with syntax highlighting.
  • Branch off from any code block to iterate on different implementations side-by-side without losing track.
