Frequently Asked Questions About AI Plot Mapping
Clear answers about how CogniGuide automates the organization of your creative projects.
How does the AI create the map from my writing?
The AI uses advanced NLP to analyze semantic relationships, identify core entities (characters, settings, events), and assign them appropriate hierarchical levels based on narrative importance within your uploaded text.
What file formats can the AI generator read for my story ideas?
We support PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and plain text inputs. This allows you to consolidate everything from research documents to early chapter drafts into one cohesive map.
Is this AI generator better than using a standard blank template?
Yes. A template is static; the AI generator personalizes the structure directly from *your* unique content. It structures your specific plot points, rather than providing generic slots.
Is the AI generator free to try for short stories or outlines?
You can try generating initial mind maps for free. Full access to saving, collaboration, and unlimited exports requires a subscription.
