Common Questions About Family Mind Maps

Addressing key concerns about privacy, format, and mapping accuracy.

Can the AI handle very old or scanned family documents?

Yes. CogniGuide accepts uploaded files like PDFs and DOCX. Our processing engine is optimized to interpret text from scanned documents (OCR where necessary) and accurately place individuals within the resulting hierarchical structure.

What file formats can I upload to generate a family mind map?

We support common document formats including PDF, DOCX, and PPTX. You can also provide raw text input directly via the prompt interface.

Is sharing my family mind map secure?

Absolutely. Collaboration is managed via secure share links. We prioritize data privacy; generated maps are accessible only to those you explicitly grant access to, ensuring sensitive family history remains protected.

If I see an error in the initial map, can I adjust it?

CogniGuide generates the initial map based on best interpretation. While we focus on structure generation, you can export the high-fidelity map and utilize it immediately in other tools if deep manual modification is required post-generation.
