Topic knowledge expansion template
Give Kollab one source or theme, and let an agent expand the surrounding concepts, blind spots, debates, and next learning path.

Interest usually starts from one link, one clip, one product, or one half-formed question. The hard part is knowing what sits around it: prerequisite concepts, related fields, missing assumptions, and where your current view is too narrow.
Kollab helps turn a seed source into a cognitive map, then shows what to learn next, what to challenge, and what to save as durable notes.
How it works
- 01
Start from one seed
Kollab reads a link, note, video, paper, or keyword and treats it as the entry point, not the whole topic.
- 02
Expand the concept map
The agent identifies prerequisites, adjacent fields, debates, missing context, and questions worth asking next.
- 03
Expose blind spots
Opposing views and weak assumptions keep the research from becoming a comfortable one-sided summary.
- 04
Leave a learning path
The output becomes a topic map, open-question list, and next-step plan that can be saved to a knowledge base.
Starter prompt
I want to expand my understanding of this topic. Seed source: - Link, note, article, video, or keyword: [paste here] - What made me interested: [why this matters to me] - My current goal: [learn / make a decision / write / invest / build a product] Please: 1. Summarize the seed source in a few sentences. 2. Identify the prerequisite concepts I need to understand first. 3. Expand the surrounding map: adjacent fields, related questions, important debates, and concepts I may be missing. 4. List the blind spots in the source and in my current framing. 5. Add opposing or alternative viewpoints so I do not only learn one side. 6. Create a 7-day learning path with what to read, what to ask, and what to save. 7. Finish with a knowledge-base note: topic map, blind spots, open questions, and next actions.Use this template →
