Overview

Lxi is a collaborative AI canvas: a shared workspace where you research, plan and write with AI instead of scrolling a chat transcript. You can work on it live with teammates, save generated content by dragging it into place, and run one prompt across many inputs with function nodes. It suits non-linear tasks such as research writing, trip planning and organizing ideas.

Lxi bets that much real work is not linear. On a canvas, generated content sits next to the document you are building, so you do not hunt back through a chat history for something produced earlier. Teammates can edit the same space at once.

Function nodes apply one prompt to several inputs, for example the same summary request across a set of sources, which a chat window handles awkwardly. Choose Lxi if your work involves gathering and arranging many pieces. A plain chat tool is likely enough for quick one-off questions.

Lxi has been described as an early beta, so expect features and stability to change. The lxi.ai site says it is currently in beta testing, and it does not publish pricing, so check lxi.ai for current details. Try it on a small project first before relying on it for important work.
