Combust
With Combust, you'll be able to quickly describe everything, compute new insights based on your data, custom views and dashboards, integrate any 3rd party providers, and that's just scratching the surface
Think Excel combined with Word, Powerpoint, Notion, Plex + potential for local or online 3rd party integrations- how Jira or Jenkins or any other of those monstruosities should've been. You won't have to worry like with Notion about constantly having to load online data on startup as your data will be offline-only by default, and you don't have to navigate 10 apps for 6 spreadsheets, 3 word documents and a presentation. Server code will be open source.
From IAI to Combust
While we're bringing some of Combust to IAI 6, we're going to have to start the app side over for Combust so it will take some time. IAI 3 and after (the Steam/Web/new Android version) were built fancy with alot of styling and animations, paths, logic, etc+ for it to be as welcoming to those that need help first. Combust will be data-first, so much will have to go. On top of the wild data-centric features we currently support in IAI 5.31 like automatic data clustering or infinity^3+ dimensions of data, here's what to get excited for:
Convert
- basically the import/export from IAI on steroids
- convert your spreadsheets, JSON, XML to Combust data
- specify what world, tag, model the data gets
- manually exclude parts of the data
Compute
- compose your own functions, e.g. for all feelings, find all concepts dependent on them and their source
- premade selectors: nodes, node types, worlds, tags, first, all
- premade filters: has link of type X, has link data Y for link type X, node type
- premade functions: earliest, root node, dependency
Communicate
- Infrastructure to easily talk to external APIs and convert them to Mesh functions and data
- e.g. add your own API keys for 3rd party services and interact with them from the app (think Postman, RestNinja, etc)
- + convert response data to nodes, node types
- (SERVER ONLY) set up timers to call endpoints and perform actions
Transform
Convert Compute outputs to views like
- timeline view (on map/not)
- map view
- lists
- sum
- Compute results
- condensers (e.g. flatmap, reduce)
Outputs of Transform functions can be used as inputs for new Transform functions
Host your own data servers
We've been working on an on open source server codebase that will enable you to host your own Mesh 2.0 server
- adjust default data, meta data, cross data etc
- manage user access, CORS, etc
- can connect to same server from ImmaterialAI 6.0 and perform Sanity check (or other IAI Plus-only features) on the data
New data type: MODEL
- imagine having projection views across meta-data
- i.e. models contain node and link types, hiding every other data or meta data that doesn't match this
- e.g. only western-psychology-epistemics, only code-related types, etc.
Combust will be 50$ for a lifetime license (and lifetime free updates), expected to come in 2027, early access ASAP. Much more to come- like with IAI- we will be releasing things as soon as we can in early access first, getting out of early access when we have everything we wanted for release. Also looking into addon support, currently considering LUA for front-end only plugins, if you have experience reach out
