Hierarchical Structure & Expandability
We automatically diagram complex systems like historical causality or socio-economic trends into expandable branches, giving you maximum brainstorming visibility without clutter.
Export & Share Ready Outlines
Once your visual knowledge base is complete, export high-fidelity PNG or PDF versions for revision notes or share collaboration links with your study group.
Creating Your Historical Overview in Three Steps
Turn complex historical research into a clean, study-ready map with minimal effort.
- 1
Input Your Historical Source
Upload the relevant historical document (PDF, DOCX, etc.) or simply type a detailed prompt, such as 'Map the causes and effects of the Peloponnesian War.'
