Albus

Overview of Albus - AI-Powered Knowledge Exploration 

Albus is an AI-powered knowledge exploration and presentation tool. It allows users to visually explore topics by creating interactive boards fueled by artificial intelligence. Albus aims to make exploring and presenting knowledge intuitive and enjoyable.

How Does Albus Work?

Albus utilizes artificial intelligence, specifically GPT-3, to generate content around topics entered by the user. When a user inputs a topic or question, Albus provides relevant information, images, and talking points to include on the board. Users can then organize, edit, and add to the board as desired before presenting or sharing it.

Key features and functions:

• AI-generated content: Albus uses GPT-3 to instantly provide summaries, overviews, trivia, images, and more based on the topic.

• Customizable boards: Users can add, rearrange, edit, and style items on the board. Boards can contain text, images, notes, and more.

• Presentation mode: Boards can be presented fullscreen with controls to reveal content sequentially. Useful for presentations.

• Shareable links: Boards can be shared via simple URL links. Links can be set to view-only or allow editing access.
