Questions and Answers
How does Heuristica work?
Heuristica is based on Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT or Claude. It allows the user to interact with the LLM by simply pressing buttons instead of writing lengthy prompts. Heuristica takes care of obtaining information from the AI so that you can focus on exploring and learning new things.
What are the advantages of using Heuristica?
A chat-based interface can only support a linear flow of information. Heuristica leverages a node-based user interface (UI) to support non-linear and visual learning. This way, you can explore a subject differently and learn unexpected things. Heuristica helps you interact with AI by simply clicking buttons, saving you time. It doesn't require any prompting knowledge.

I purchased a Professional Subscription, but the features are still locked
