While promoting through videos and images to engage with the product community, including ranking 2nd daily and 4th weekly on Product Hunt, we continue to optimize the product’s interaction design, including features like “Follow-up Questions” and “Related Questions,” aiming for the lowest possible learning and usage costs.

Minduck Search has officially been renamed to Minduck Discovery, clearly differentiating it from similar AI Search products. The product is now open to global users, and we’ve added multi-language support to the Minduck AI collaboration platform, making it easier for users from different countries to use.

At the same time, we’ve established an official Minduck blog, a content platform which will continue to produce high-quality Minduck brand content, and we welcome collaboration with other brands.

This month, we officially launched Minduck with its brand and product upgrades:

Minduck: A user-centric, AI-native creative platform that lets users interact with AI through mind maps. Users can observe AI’s generative process and shape the outcomes using text, mind maps, and images. The innovation lies in breaking away from the traditional chat-based interaction model, which often confines users to repetitive linear dialogues, and instead unlocking the flow of ideas in a dynamic creative process.
