Why I built Alyph.
I spend roughly $2,000 a month using LLMs to build software. And I was constantly losing context in linear AI chat.
In standard linear chats, every prompt stacks into one long history log. When I was building out features, Feature B would inevitably get polluted by Feature A's logic. If I explored a dead end ten prompts deep, my entire workspace was permanently cluttered with useless context.
I needed a way to anchor my codebase to a root node and branch off isolated sub-threads that never leaked into each other. I needed to test different approaches from the same model, and I wanted to send the exact same prompt to ChatGPT and Gemini simultaneously to compare outputs side-by-side.
Standard chat interfaces couldn't do this. So I built Alyph. It is a visual LLM canvas where you can execute parallel features, try different models instantly, and prune deep context with a single click.
Fun fact: The name Alyph is a combination of Aleph — the famous short story where a single point contains everything visible all at once — and Glyph, the term for a tangible character or node.
