Frequently Asked Questions About AI Story Mapping

Get clarity on how CogniGuide structures your creative documents using AI analysis.

How does the AI create the map from my story notes?

The AI reads your input text, identifies key entities like characters, locations, conflicts, and themes, and establishes their hierarchical relationships based on context and sequence to build the map branches.

What file types can the AI read for narrative mapping?

You can upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX presentations, or paste plain text directly. The AI is trained to parse these common document formats effectively.

Is this better than using a standard plot template?

Yes, because standard templates are static. CogniGuide builds a unique, personalized structure based precisely on your uploaded content, making it a true visual extension of your draft.

Can I rely on the AI to capture every nuance of my plot?

The AI prioritizes instant visualization of the main structure derived from your source material. The immediate benefit is understanding the overall hierarchy, which you can then capture via export options like PNG or PDF for final drafting.
