Answering Your Questions on AI Mapping
Common concerns regarding document integration and visual outputs.
Can CogniGuide read my existing Obsidian .md files directly?
While we specialize in processing common formats like PDF, DOCX, and raw text input, you can easily copy the content from your Obsidian markdown files and paste it directly into our prompt interface for immediate structuring.
How does the AI decide the hierarchy for the mind map structure?
The AI analyzes semantic density and structural cues within your text to determine primary topics, sub-branches, and related detail nodes, ensuring the resulting map accurately reflects the logical flow of your source material.
What are the export options if I need the map outside the app?
We support exporting high-fidelity visuals as PNG files and comprehensive documents as PDFs, ensuring you can easily integrate the map into presentations or archival documents.
Is this tool meant to replace Obsidian, or augment it?
