Frequently Asked Questions on Historical Mind Mapping

Addressing common concerns about document analysis and visual output.

Can the AI handle very long history textbooks or dense primary sources?

Yes, CogniGuide is designed to ingest large documents (PDF, DOCX). The AI excels at identifying overarching themes and segmenting complex historical narratives into logical, expandable branches.

I need to share this with classmates. Does it support collaboration?

You can generate a secure share link for your mind map. This allows team members to view the visual knowledge base instantly, fostering alignment on historical understanding without needing an account.

What if the AI misses a crucial date or figure in my timeline?

While highly accurate, the resulting map is a starting point. You can easily review the structure generated by the AI and manually add, reorganize, or elaborate on any node to ensure it perfectly matches your historical interpretation.

Are the exported PNGs suitable for high-resolution printing?

Absolutely. We prioritize high-quality exports (PNG/PDF) so that your finished mind map, whether it details geopolitical shifts or biographical timelines, retains clarity and is suitable for printing or presentation slides.
