About Obsidian Canvas

Overview

Obsidian Canvas is the ultimate "Space for Thinking." Unlike online whiteboards (like Miro) that lock your data in the cloud, Obsidian Canvas is local-first. It creates an infinite spatial interface where you can drag and drop your existing Markdown notes, PDFs, images, and websites to visualize complex connections. It is the missing link between linear note-taking and visual brainstorming.

Why Use Obsidian Canvas?

If you are building a "Second Brain," Canvas is essential. It allows you to visualize your knowledge graph without writing a single line of code. Because it stores data as open JSON/Markdown files on your hard drive, it is future-proof and private. It is widely used by AI researchers to map out prompt chains, structure large writing projects, and organize complex research data that needs to be cited and linked.

Key Capabilities:

  • Markdown Native: Every "card" on the canvas can be a fully functional Markdown note. You can edit the text directly on the canvas, and it updates the file in your vault instantly.

  • Embed Everything: It’s not just for text. You can embed live websites, YouTube videos, PDFs, and audio files directly onto the board, creating a multimedia dashboard for any project.

  • Infinite Spatial Canvas: There are no borders. You can zoom out to see the "Big Picture" of a novel’s plot or zoom in to write the specific details of a single chapter.

  • Privacy & Longevity: Unlike SaaS tools that can shut down or sell your data, Obsidian Canvas files sit locally on your device. You own 100% of your data, making it the safest place for sensitive intellectual property.

Smodin

FREEMIUM

Overview Smodin is the ultimate "Super App" for writing and education. While most AI tools focus only on English, Smodin is built for the world, supporting 100+ languages with native fluency. It combines every tool a student or writer needs in one dashboard: an AI Writer, a Plagiarism Checker, a Citation Generator, and even a Homework Solver for math and chemistry. Why Use Smodin? If you are a student or an SEO writer working in multiple languages, Smodin is your best friend. It doesn't just generate text; it helps you research. Its "Smodin Author" mode can scrape Google to find real references for your essay. Plus, its AI Grader allows teachers (or students) to grade an essay based on standard rubrics before submitting it, ensuring you get the best possible mark. Key Capabilities: Omnilingual Support: Smodin writes, translates, and detects AI in over 100 languages, making it the #1 choice for non-native English speakers and global marketing teams. Homework Solver: A dedicated feature for students. You can upload a photo of a Math, Chemistry, or Biology problem, and Smodin solves it with step-by-step explanations—not just the final answer. AI Detection Remover: Similar to other humanizers, Smodin can rewrite AI-generated text to bypass detectors. It uniquely offers a "Show Changes" view so you can learn how it improved the flow. Citation Machine: Stop worrying about bibliographies. Smodin automatically formats your citations in APA, MLA, or Chicago style with a single click, ensuring academic integrity.

Claude AI

FREEMIUM

Overview Claude is the next-generation AI assistant developed by Anthropic, designed to be helpful, harmless, and honest. It is widely regarded as the top competitor to ChatGPT, particularly favored by developers for its superior coding logic and by writers for its more natural, human-like prose. Why Use Claude? Claude stands out with its massive context window and "Artifacts" interface, which allows you to view code, documents, and website designs side-by-side with your chat. It is currently the industry leader in "Agentic AI"—meaning it can autonomously plan and execute complex tasks. Key Capabilities: Claude 4.5 Models: The latest family (Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku 4.5) delivers state-of-the-art performance in coding, reasoning, and nuance, often outperforming competitors on complex benchmarks. Computer Use: A revolutionary feature that allows Claude to perceive and interact with computer interfaces (screens, cursors, buttons) to automate repetitive workflows just like a human would. Artifacts UI: Instead of just chatting, Claude can generate dedicated windows for code snippets, React components, or SVG graphics, effectively acting as a real-time visual editor. Massive Context: Supports a standard 200K token context window (approx. 500 pages of text), with beta access up to 1 Million tokens for analyzing entire books or codebases in one go.

Kling AI

FREEMIUM

Overview Kling AI is a professional-grade AI video generation platform that rivals OpenAI's Sora. Developed by Kuaishou, it allows creators to turn text prompts or static images into stunning, high-definition videos with realistic physics. It is widely regarded as one of the best publicly available video models in 2025. Why Use Kling AI? If you need cinematic quality without the studio budget, Kling is the answer. It excels at complex motion—like a character walking naturally or fluids flowing—where other AIs fail. With the new Kling Video 2.6 model, it can now generate native audio and sound effects that perfectly match the visuals. Key Capabilities: Kling Video O1 (New): The industry's first "unified multimodal" model that "thinks" before it renders, allowing for complex physics and longer, 3-minute continuous shots. Native Audio: The latest 2.6 update generates synchronized sound effects (SFX) and ambient noise automatically, eliminating the need for separate audio tools. Lip Sync & Avatars: Upload a photo and audio file, and Kling will animate the face with near-perfect lip synchronization, making it ideal for talking head videos. Motion Brush: Gives you granular control by letting you "paint" over specific areas of an image to tell the AI exactly which parts should move and in what direction.
