Insight Maker lets you express your thoughts using rich pictures and causal loop diagrams. It then lets you turn these diagrams into powerful simulation models. All this happens right in your browser, for free. No software download needed, just sign up for a free account and get started now.
System Dynamics provides a powerful yet accessible framework for understanding change within complex systems. Insight Maker has extensive System Dynamics support including powerful support for dimensional analysis and unit conversion.
Agent Based Modeling enables the exploration of the interactions between individuals in a system. Insight Maker allows you to define custom individual identities and watch a population of these individuals interact in geographic or network space.
Insight Maker runs in your web-browser. No software download or plug-ins are needed. Get started building your rich pictures, simulation models and Insights now. Features

Learn about modeling with Beyond Connecting the Dots, a new kind of book on Systems Thinking and Modeling with Insight Maker. Rather than being constrained by the printed page, it runs digitally on your computer or your tablet. Because of this it can provide you an exciting experience that goes beyond the printed word. The models in the book are truly interactive and you can directly experiment with them within the book as you read about them. Beyond Connecting the Dots is more than a book; it is a truly interactive learning environment that lets you play with ideas rather than just read them.
You can learn more at http://BeyondConnectingTheDots.com or watch a short video about the book. Here are what others had to say about the book:
A cutting-edge product creating a fun and exciting interactive learning environment for system dynamics and systems thinking.
--LEES STUNTZ, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CREATIVE LEARNING EXCHANGE
This brilliant new interactive platform ... is equally relevant to the politician, the academic, the social scientist, engineer, architect, physicist, and anyone looking for a useful and user-friendly tool for engaging constructively and productively with complex adaptive systems.
--ALEXANDER LASZLO, INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE SYSTEMS SCIENCES PRESIDENT, 2012-2013
