Frequently Asked Questions About AI Mapping

Get clarity on how our generator handles your data.

How exactly does the AI create the hierarchical structure from my document?

The AI employs advanced natural language processing to identify main headings, supporting details, and sequential relationships within your text. It prioritizes structure and hierarchy before mapping, ensuring the resulting concept map accurately reflects the logic of your source material.

What file types can the AI generator read to build the map?

The AI can process standard documents including PDF, DOCX, and PPTX files, as well as plain text inputs. This flexibility allows you to map anything from dense research papers to presentation outlines.

Is using an AI generator better than finding a blank Canva template?

Yes. While Canva offers design control, CogniGuide offers structural intelligence. The AI personalizes the map entirely to your uploaded text, saving you hours of manual setup while guaranteeing conceptual accuracy over generic templates.
