Show HN: Kuse 2.0 – AI Visual Folder: Chaos In, Genius Out

https://app.kuse.ai/new-board
13•austinxu•1h ago
Most AI tools create clutter. You’re buried in prompts and long threads. We built Kuse 2.0 as a different take: an AI visual folder that turns messy inputs into structured deliverables.

After 6 months of exploration and user feedback, we completely rewrote our AI whiteboard into a visual folder. Our first demo post is here for context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40776562

Why the change?

- Users loved dropping in files, videos, links, or spreadsheets → highlighting what matters → prompting → and getting structured, editable results. That was the core success point.

- In Kuse 1.0, everything (prompts + results) lived as cards on the canvas, which quickly became overwhelming.

What’s new in 2.0?

- Doubled down on the “success point”: only your sources + significant AI-generated results live on the canvas now.

- Introduced visual folders to organize context. These also provide spatial cues (“Visual Context Engineering”) that help the AI agent reason more effectively.

We’re seeing it used for study, research, reporting, content generation, and more. Some examples are on our X account. https://x.com/kuseHQ Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or critiques!

This is an interesting evolution — moving from a whiteboard-style canvas to a more structured "visual folder" feels like a natural correction against prompt/result sprawl.

I like the idea of “Visual Context Engineering” — giving AI spatially organized cues instead of dumping everything in a flat thread. It reminds me of how humans use folders, tabs, or even physical desks to manage mental context. The ability to highlight what matters and collapse the rest seems like a real productivity multiplier.

One thought: how does Kuse handle collaboration? The folder metaphor works great for solo workflows, but I wonder if multiple users dropping in files, highlighting, and prompting would cause the same chaos you tried to solve in 1.0. Maybe the "visual folder" could extend into a shared canvas where provenance (who did what, and why) stays transparent.

Overall, this looks like a thoughtful iteration. Curious to see if the visual folder model becomes a general UX pattern for AI tools, the way "chat thread" did in the last wave.

Really love the whole Kuse 2.0 concept of leaving a “success point” behind. Also excited to see how this idea of “visual context engineering” plays out. super coooool!

I’d love to understand more about how Kuse 2.0 differentiates itself from typical AI-powered tools that also organize content visually. The shift from the clutter of cards in 1.0 to a pared-down canvas focusing only on sources and key AI-generated outputs sounds promising—but how does this work in practice?

Two key questions: 1.When you say “only your sources + significant AI‑generated results live on the canvas now,” what criteria define “significant”? Is this determined by user feedback, an internal model, or do users manually flag outputs? 2.How customizable is the layout or structure of the canvas? Can users group, reorder, or annotate sections to reflect their own workflow or context?

Overall, I’m impressed with the evolution from messy inputs to structured deliverables—but I’d love clarity on how much control users retain over the final presentation.

So the tool itself is decent, but who came up with this pricing model? A 50-page PDF costs 50 credits, and a 1000-page novel also costs... 50 credits? That makes zero sense. It feels like I'm being penalized for having normal-sized documents. This is a great deal if you're uploading massive files, but a pretty raw deal for the rest of us. Fix the tiered pricing, please.
