Find the hidden gem

Ideation isn't linear. By exploring parallel paths, you find the breakthrough.

Use the best brain
for the job.

Don't limit your thinking to one model. Mix, match, and compare top-tier models in a single conversation tree.

Built for your workflow

Whether you write code, prose, or strategy, Lode adapts to the way you think.

Refactor with confidence

Don't just paste code and hope. Branch off to compare a recursive solution vs. an iterative one side-by-side. Test edge cases without polluting your main context.

auth_middleware.ts
1export const validateSession = async (req) => {
2
OPTION A: JWT Verify
jwt.verify(token, SECRET);
OPTION B: Database Lookup
await db.sessions.findUnique(...)

Pure signal,
no noise.

Lode cuts through the clutter. By isolating every branch, the model focuses only on the active path—giving you cleaner answers and lower costs.

Designed for non-linear thinking.

Most AI tools force you into a single path. Lode lets you explore every possibility without losing your place.

Frequently Asked Questions

In a normal chat, you keep re-sending the entire long conversation history. With branching, Lode only sends the specific path you are on, which cuts out the "junk" and saves you money.
Yes! If you are a power user with your own OpenAI or Anthropic keys, you can plug them in and pay zero markup. Or just use our subscription for zero setup.
Yes. Lode works like Figma. You can see your friends cursors and typing in real-time on the same canvas. It is perfect for pair programming or group brainstorming.
Absolutely. We do not sell your data, and we do not use your conversations to train our models. Your ideas stay yours.
