Quick Answers on Automating Your Visuals
Addressing common concerns when moving from traditional document editors to AI-powered visual tools.
Can I upload proprietary documents like internal Word files?
Yes. We support standard DOCX and PDF uploads. Our focus is on secure processing to convert your proprietary content into a map structure without requiring you to manually recreate it.
If I use CogniGuide, do I still need Microsoft Word?
For creating the initial document, perhaps. But for visualization, idea mapping, and summarizing, CogniGuide replaces the manual effort required in Word’s drawing tools, allowing you to focus purely on the content hierarchy.
What if the AI misinterprets the document’s structure?
The initial AI generation is a powerful first draft. While the AI excels at structuring complex ideas, you have the output in a clear visual format which makes refinement much faster than starting from scratch.
Are the exported PNG files high quality for professional use?
Absolutely. Our exports prioritize clarity and resolution, ensuring that the maps you generate—whether they originated from a Word doc or a simple prompt—look professional when inserted into presentations or printed.
