ContextMinds

Brainstorm, research, outline, and draft your content using an AI-powered whiteboard

Using an AI writing tool won’t help you work faster if it keeps generating lousy content. (“This sounds like I wrote it, in the worst way.”)

You could try doing it yourself, but you’ll end up with a dozen open tabs and a bunch of ideas that never make it on the page.

If only you could save your ideas, map out your research, and even generate your first draft in one organized space.

Work smarter with Contextminds.

From the founders

Company and product FAQs

What are past projects, failures, or successes you’ve had in your career?

Contextminds originally started as a concept mapping tool for schools, based on an idea the founder got during his PhD studies. We trained hundreds of excited teachers to use it, but schools were not so eager to pay for it. We started pivoting to a more business use case and discovered writers can benefit from Contextminds even more, which was later further boosted by the emergence of LLM tools.

What 3rd party tools is your product critically dependent on?

LLM (ChatGPT/Claude), Search engine (Bing/Brave), Keyword data (spyfu.com, keywordseverywhere)

Where is your customer data stored?

Frankfurt, Germany (AWS)

How many customers do you have today?

We have more than 4k paying users, out of the total of 35k users who signed up to Contextminds.

What’s the origin of the idea for your product?

My PhD focused on knowledge management with structured data technologies like RDF and ontologies. I researched visualization methods for this kind of data and developed several visualization tools myself. During that, I discovered concept mapping, an already proven state-of-the-art method enhancing research, learning, and collaboration, could become even more helpful if backed by the state-of-the-art data models I studied.

What problem is your product solving and how?

Tab overload, platform-hopping, information overload, disorganized notes. It's a lot for content writers to keep track of the content requirements and goals while researching keywords and related content and developing their ideas simultaneously. Contextminds lets them dump everything on a single whiteboard, organize it, and automatically get relevant information and suggestions. The map on the whiteboard is a search query that is always up to date, and the context for AI to generate an outline or first draft with one click.

What’s the #1 thing you’re looking to gain from the AppSumo campaign?

We are mainly looking for exposure, e.g., getting more video reviews on YouTube.

What are your plans with the customers, cash, and learnings from the AppSumo campaign?

The extra exposure and customer reviews will boost our marketing efforts and allow us reach the desired MRR faster, so we can invest into extra features like collaborative real-time editing.

Any details to clarify about the deal?

* The file storage limit is there only for uploading attachments to your maps. It's not for storage of maps themselves, so you don't have to worry about that limit much.

* You can add your clients, students, course participants as internal users for as long as you work with them. Check https://app.contextminds.com/fair-use/ to learn more.

* The "GPT Credits" (one of the monthly limits) approximation: about 1 credit is spent to generate 100 tokens (something like 70 words).

* We currently support Australia, Canada, Czechia, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexiko, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, UK, and USA. We plan to gradually extend the list. Of course LLMs work with almost any language, but our keyword data and web search depend on 3rd party API coverage.
