Frequently Asked Questions About AI Mapping
Addressing common roadblocks when transitioning from static note-taking to visual AI generation.
Can CogniGuide handle highly technical or dense documents?
Yes. Our AI is trained to diagram complex systems. Uploading technical reports or research papers allows the AI to accurately identify nuanced relationships between concepts, ensuring your resulting mind map is technically sound.
I usually use OneNote for quick diagrams. How fast is the AI generation?
The process is near-instantaneous. While setting up a detailed diagram manually in a tool like OneNote can take hours, our AI generates the initial, organized hierarchical structure in seconds after ingestion, significantly saving time.
What kind of exports are available for sharing my structure?
You can export your visual knowledge base in high-quality PNG format for immediate use in documents or PowerPoint, or export as a PDF for easier archival and distribution.
Is this a replacement for collaboration tools?
CogniGuide facilitates collaboration by generating shareable links to the interactive map. While we focus on visual structure creation, this allows immediate alignment sharing across teams before integration into dedicated project management platforms.
