How to Use Glasp’s Atomic Interest Graph to Map Your Knowledge Journey

Have you ever wished you could visualize your learning journey—to see how your interests connect, overlap, and evolve over time? With Glasp’s Atomic Interest Graph, you can do exactly that. By tagging your highlights, Glasp automatically builds a visual map that shows the relationships between your chosen topics.

This feature not only helps you understand what you’ve been focusing on but also uncovers patterns in your thinking, giving you clarity on where your learning is headed.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to set up and expand your Atomic Interest Graph.

If you haven't signed up for Glasp or installed the Glasp browser extension, please do so. You can refer to this tutorial.

Step 1: Add Tags

As you’re reading and highlighting articles, this is where the fun gets! Do not forget to put a tag on your highlighted pages because this is what will make your Atomic Interest Graph expand.

For instance, on your highlighted page you may input the term “Self-improvement” under “Tag” if it is related to the article you’ve read.

With that, you can add more tags up to your liking and depending on the topics of the articles you will read in the future.

Step 2: Expand the Atomic Interest Graph

Through the topics or tags you will be inputting; your Atomic Interest Graph will also show how your interests interrelate with each other.

The more tags you enter, the more your Atomic Interest Graph will grow. Hence, the more frequently you use similar tags, the more your Atomic Interest Graph will display a connection with your interests.
