Frequently Asked Questions About AI Mapping
Addressing common concerns about structure, inputs, and exporting your new mind maps.
What types of documents can I upload to generate my mind map?
We support major text and document formats, including PDF, DOCX, and PPTX files. You can also use raw text input or descriptive prompts to initiate the mapping process.
Can I edit the structure after the AI generates the initial map?
The AI excels at creating the initial logical framework. While you focus on the visual outcome, the tool ensures the foundational hierarchical structure is sound, allowing you to confidently export the result.
How are mind maps exported, and are they suitable for presentations?
Yes. You can export the finished concept map in high-quality PNG or PDF formats, ensuring they look professional and clean whether you are using them for personal study notes or sharing in workshops.
Does this tool replace manual brainstorming, or is it complementary?
It complements brainstorming by instantly organizing the raw output. If you have chaotic notes from a session, uploading them allows the AI to create the initial structure, saving significant time in structuring your idea maps.
