Common Questions About Visualizing Personal Entries
Addressing concerns about privacy, format, and structure reliability.
Is my diary entry data secure when I create a mind map?
Privacy is paramount. All uploaded documents and generated maps are processed securely. We focus purely on structuring the content you provide; your personal data remains confidential.
Can the AI help me structure vague or emotional diary entries?
Yes. The AI is trained to identify emotional tone, recurring concepts, and underlying conflict points even in abstract writing, turning them into clear, organized nodes in your concept map.
What if I want to add more detail after the map is generated?
While you cannot edit the nodes directly in this initial version, the generated map provides the perfect visual outline. You can use the exported PNG/PDF as a template for further manual note-taking or re-run the input with revised prompts.
How does mapping a diary entry differ from standard brainstorming?
Standard brainstorming starts with a prompt; mapping a diary entry is synthesis. It takes existing, dense content and applies an expert organizational structure (hierarchical structure) to reveal hidden relationships within your past reflections.
