Visualize Legacies: Clarity from Complex Narratives

CogniGuide handles biographical complexity, giving you immediate visual insight into lives lived.

Direct Text & Document Ingestion

Paste the text of an obituary directly or upload supporting documents (DOCX/PDF). Our AI instantly parses the narrative structure, recognizing key dates, achievements, and relationships.

Hierarchical Concept Mapping

We automatically diagram complex systems like lineage or career paths into expandable branches. See the core person at the center, branching out to education, service, family, and legacy.

Exportable Visual Records

Preserve the synthesized structure permanently. Export your detailed mind map of obituary information as a clean PNG or PDF for archiving, sharing with family, or genealogical research.

Your Obituary Visualized in Three Simple Steps

We bridge the gap between narrative text and structured visual information, preserving crucial details without manual effort.

  1. 1

    Input the Source Material

    Either paste the text from the obituary notice or upload the file (PDF/DOCX). Describe your desired focus—e.g., 'Focus on career milestones and immediate family only'.

  2. 2

    AI Instantly Restructures Data

    CogniGuide analyzes the input to identify main themes, dates, and connections, building a logical, hierarchical structure that clearly maps the life narrative.

  3. 3

    Review, Refine, and Preserve

    Examine the generated mind map. You can then export this visual summary as a high-resolution PNG or PDF, creating a lasting, easy-to-read keepsake or research asset.

Creating Visual Knowledge Bases from Biographical Text

Creating a mind map of an obituary offers a unique way to process and respect detailed biographical information. Instead of re-reading dense paragraphs for specific facts, visualizing the structure aids memory retention and speeds up research for family historians.

  • Generating detailed concept maps from textual sources
  • Organizing complex life events into navigable idea maps
  • Using AI for quick synthesis of narrative data
  • Creating visual outlines for memorial presentations
  • Streamlining data extraction for genealogical study

By leveraging AI to enforce a clear hierarchical structure on unstructured life stories, CogniGuide ensures that no significant detail is lost, providing excellent brainstorm visibility into the subject’s entire life journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About Obituary Mapping

Common questions regarding the transformation of biographical texts into visual formats.

Can CogniGuide handle very long or complex obituaries?

Yes. Our AI is designed to ingest substantial textual data, restructuring it logically. While the output is a mind map, the internal processing capability is built to diagram complex systems and extensive narratives effectively.

I only want a map showing family members; can I customize the output?

While we currently focus on generating the initial comprehensive structure, you receive the map visualization immediately. You can easily interpret the automatically generated hierarchical structure to focus only on the branches relevant to genealogy or specific relationships.

What file types can I use to input the obituary text?

We accept plain text pasted directly into the prompt box, or you can upload common document formats like PDF, DOCX, and PPTX. The AI handles the extraction across these media.

How secure are the life details I upload to generate the mind map?

Data security is paramount. All uploaded files and generated maps are processed securely, and we ensure confidentiality regarding the sensitive biographical information used to create your visualization.
