Frequently Asked Questions About AI Cooking Maps
Answers regarding document processing and visual structure.
Can I upload complex technique manuals as PDFs?
Absolutely. CogniGuide is designed to ingest lengthy PDF or DOCX files containing detailed cooking instructions or food science theory, automatically extracting and prioritizing the critical information into an expandable hierarchical structure.
How does the AI handle ingredient quantities in the mind map?
The AI intelligently groups ingredients under relevant steps or recipe components (e.g., 'Dough' or 'Glaze'). Quantities are usually placed as secondary notes or sub-bullets directly adjacent to the ingredient name for quick reference.
Can I use this for ongoing meal planning and grocery lists?
While you cannot currently edit the map directly, you can easily export a clear PNG/PDF of your weekly meal plan map, which provides superior organization compared to standard list apps for tracking multiple recipes at once.
What if my recipe formatting is poor or inconsistent?
Our AI is trained on diverse data structures. It focuses on semantic understanding, meaning it can often decipher complex or poorly formatted text to build a coherent concept map, focusing on the action verbs and essential nouns.
