Chapter 14: Knowledge Sharing Methods
ThinkNavi offers three ways to share your built knowledge and models with others. Choose the best method based on your purpose and audience.
14.1 Comparison of Three Sharing Methods
| Item | Shared Model | Mindware Store | Concierge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audience | Specific people (those who know the URL) | All ThinkNavi users | Website visitors (anyone) |
| Shared Content | Concept structure model (3D graph) | CCM model + AI chat | AI chat widget |
| AI Chat | Not available for non-users | Yes (available after purchase) | Yes (visitors can use freely) |
| Monetization | None (free sharing) | Sellable (price setting available) | None (for your own service) |
| Setup Effort | Easiest (Save → Share URL) | Moderate (Build CCM → Register) | Easy (Upload docs → Embed code) |
| Cost Burden | None | Included in purchaser’s plan | Borne by the user (installer) |
14.2 Method 1: Shared Model (Sharing via Model & Explore)
Overview: Save a model built in ConceptMap-Text as “Shared” and share via URL.
Steps:
- Build a model in Model & Explore (ConceptMap-Text)
- Click “Save” in the exploration step
- Enable the “Shared” option in the save dialog
- After saving, a sharing URL is generated
- Send this URL to the recipient
When non-users access:
- Can view the 3D network graph in the browser
- Can use exploration features like node clicking, cluster display, and search
- AI Chat (Agent) is not available (ThinkNavi account required)
When ThinkNavi users access:
- Can load the shared URL and use the model within their own ThinkNavi
- AI Chat (Agent) is also available
- A copy of the model is saved to their account
Ideal for: Sharing analysis results within research teams, visualizing structures in presentations, sharing concept maps with colleagues
14.3 Method 2: Publishing/Selling on Mindware Store
Overview: Build a CCM (Connected Concept Model), register it on the Mindware Store, and publish/sell to other ThinkNavi users.
Steps:
- Build models from multiple text columns of the same data in ConceptMap-Text
- Link them as a CCM group
- Open “Mindware” → “My Models” tab in the sidebar
- Enter title information (name, description, category, price, etc.) from “New Registration”
- Link the CCM group and publish
What purchasers can do:
- View and explore the 3D network graph
- Chat with the model’s knowledge via AI Chat (Agent)
- Deep thinking dialogue via Dialektike (Discourse Dojo)
Revenue Model: 70% of the sale price goes to the creator, 30% is platform fee.
Ideal for: Monetizing expertise as content, providing educational/training materials, selling industry analysis reports
14.4 Method 3: Creating and Installing a Concierge
Overview: Automatically generate an AI chat widget from documents or website content that can be installed on your own site.
Steps:
- Open “Concierge” in the sidebar
- Specify sources (URL, PDF, Word, Markdown, etc.) in “Create New”
- Run automated processing (concept extraction → model building)
- Customize widget appearance (color, display name, icon)
- Paste the generated script tag into your website’s HTML
What visitors can do:
- Ask AI questions via the chat widget on the website
- Get accurate answers based on the knowledge base
- No ThinkNavi account required
Cost: 5 credits per visitor chat message (3 credits if the installer has registered their own API key in Settings) are charged to the installer’s account.
Ideal for: Product/service inquiry automation, chatifying internal manuals, customer support automation, interactive help for technical documentation
14.5 Choosing the Right Method
- “I want to show analysis results to my team” → Shared Model
- “I want to sell expertise as content” → Mindware Store
- “I want to add AI chat to my website” → Concierge
- “I want to try free first” → Shared Model (viewable without account)
- “I want to monetize” → Mindware Store (price setting available)
