Frequently Asked Questions for Authors

Quick answers about using AI for creative organization.

How exactly does the AI create a map from my document?

The AI uses advanced NLP to identify key entities, topics, arguments, and relationships within your text. It then assigns these elements to appropriate hierarchical levels to generate a logical, concept-based diagram.

What file types can the AI generator process?

We support standard text inputs, DOCX files for manuscripts and drafts, and PDF documents, allowing you to map everything from simple outlines to complex research summaries.

Is using this AI generator better than a standard template?

Yes. Templates are static and generic. CogniGuide builds a unique, personalized mind map structure directly derived from the unique content of your uploaded files, saving hours of manual restructuring.

Is the AI mind map generator free to try for writers?

We offer a generous free tier that allows you to test the core functionality of uploading documents and generating your first few interactive maps.
