Frequently Asked Questions About AI Map Generation
Get clarity on how our AI converts your documents into visual structures.
How does the AI create the map structure from my documents?
The AI employs advanced natural language processing (NLP) to parse headings, bullet points, and related sentences within your uploaded files. It identifies main topics and sub-topics to build a logical, hierarchical structure suitable for concept mapping.
What file types can the AI read to generate a map?
The generator supports major document formats including PDF, DOCX, and PPTX. You can also paste raw text directly into the prompt box for analysis.
Is this AI generator better than using a static template or Excel?
Yes. Static templates require you to fill in content manually. Our AI personalization ensures the structure is dynamically tailored to the specific arguments and depth present in your unique uploaded text, which no generic template can replicate.
Is the AI mind map generator free to try?
We offer a generous free tier allowing users to test the core functionality, including uploading initial documents and generating preliminary maps, so you can experience the transformation firsthand.
