Frequently Asked Questions About AI Mapping

Clear answers on how our document-to-map technology works for cooking guides.

How does the AI create the map structure from my recipe notes?

The AI employs advanced natural language processing to identify relationships between ingredients, steps, preparation times, and temperatures, automatically assigning these elements to parent and child nodes in the hierarchical structure.

What file formats can the AI generator successfully read?

CogniGuide accepts a wide range of inputs, including PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and plain text files. We strive to make turning any existing culinary documentation into a map seamless.

Is using an AI generator better than using a static cooking template?

Yes. Static templates force your content to fit a rigid shape. Our AI personalizes the structure based solely on your uploaded text, ensuring every branch accurately reflects your specific recipe or technique.

Is the AI mind map generator free to try before committing?

We offer a free tier that allows you to test the core functionality, including uploading documents and generating your first interactive maps, to ensure it meets your meal planning needs.
