Kompas AI

An alternative to ChatGPT’s deep research

Overview

What it is

Kompas AI is designed to function as a virtual team of specialized researchers. By entering relevant keywords or short prompts, it coordinates multiple AI agents to gather, analyze, and synthesize large volumes of information from trusted sources. The end result is a comprehensive, data-driven report with detailed insights into any subject of interest.

Intent

I need it when

Capture and organize scattered ideas from reading, conversations, and notes into a connected knowledge graph

Kompas lets users capture documents, highlights, voice notes, and web pages, then connects them into a graph where past ideas surface when relevant to current thinking. This prevents ideas from being lost and enables discovery of conceptual connections across time.

Maintain a private, personal knowledge base that is never used to train AI models

Kompas guarantees zero training on user content. Free desktop keeps everything local; Pro adds private hosted sync. Users retain full control and can export everything to JSON anytime, with explicit privacy commitments.

Write original essays and arguments grounded in personal research and thinking, not AI-generated content

Kompas moves sessions into drafts while surfacing relevant past work at the moment of writing. The product augments the user's own thinking rather than generating text, ensuring writing remains authentically the user's own ideas.

Conduct deep, iterative thinking sessions that reference and build upon previous thoughts and decisions

Kompas sessions pull in past notes, decisions, and reading to ask better follow-up questions. Each session leaves traces connected to prior work, allowing users to see how today's thought relates to yesterday's and build cumulative understanding without starting from scratch.

Extend personal knowledge management beyond passive collection into active thinking and synthesis

Kompas is positioned for users of tools like Obsidian and Logseq who want to go beyond collecting material. The graph-based retrieval and session-driven workflow help users build on collected material to extend their own thinking and reveal new connections.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs a web-based application; Kompas is desktop-only (macOS and Windows)
  • User requires real-time collaboration or multi-user editing; Kompas is single-user focused
  • User wants the product to generate content autonomously; Kompas is designed to augment thinking, not replace it
  • User needs offline AI capabilities without local model setup; Pro Full requires internet connection for built-in AI
  • User prefers vendor-managed data training for model improvement; Kompas explicitly never trains on user content
