Frequently Asked Questions about Drama Mapping

Addressing common concerns about source material and visual output reliability.

Can the AI accurately map Shakespearean or classical dramatic structures?

Yes, CogniGuide is trained to recognize standard dramatic structures (Freytag's Pyramid, five-act structure, etc.) and accurately place key events, character introductions, and thematic elements into the map.

What if my document is a production prompt sheet instead of a script?

The system handles varied inputs. Upload your production notes or director's treatment; the AI will focus on extracting actionable groupings like staging requirements, character motivations, or scene transitions.

Can I refine the AI-generated mind map before exporting?

Currently, the focus is on rapid, accurate generation. While you cannot actively edit branches yet, the quality of the initial output provides a complete visual knowledge base ready for immediate review and export.

What formats can I use to input my drama analysis files?

We support PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and plain text inputs, ensuring you can map from published critical essays, lecture notes, or digital script files.
