Insight Maker
Free no-code system modeling and simulation platform
What is Insight Maker?
Try Insight MakerInsight Maker is a free, no-code system modeling and simulation platform you can run entirely in your browser. It helps you create shareable simulation models using rich pictures and causal loop diagrams, plus system dynamics and agent-based models. You can explore, collaborate, and learn from public “Insights” built by other users.
What can I build with Insight Maker?
You can create rich pictures and causal loop diagrams, then turn them into shareable simulation models. Insight Maker supports System Dynamics models for modeling change and Agent Based Models for simulating how interacting agents behave over time.
Do I need to install anything or use special software?
No. Insight Maker runs in your web browser, and there are no downloads or plugins needed.
How do I simulate System Dynamics or Agent Based Models?
Insight Maker includes simulation functionality for both System Dynamics and Agent Based Modeling. Use System Dynamics to explore your system at a higher level, and use Agent Based Modeling to dig into the details of agent interactions and behaviors.
Is it possible to share or collaborate on models?
Yes. You can share models by sending a link or embedding them, and you can collaborate with others around the same model.
Is Insight Maker really free to use?
Yes. Insight Maker lets you build and share your models for free, and it’s described as open code for security and transparency.
Can I learn by looking at examples made by other users?
Yes. Insight Maker provides a gallery of public Insights you can explore and use as references while you build your own models.
