Frequently Asked Questions About Document Mapping

Understand how CogniGuide uses AI to create your visual outlines.

How does the AI create the map from my document?

The AI uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze your document's text. It identifies main topics, subheadings, lists, and implicit relationships to construct a logical, hierarchical structure.

What file types can the AI read for map generation?

Our generator accepts PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and plain text files. For best results with complex formatting, PDF or DOCX uploads are highly recommended.

Is using this AI better than using a static template?

Yes. Static templates require you to manually input all content. CogniGuide's AI instantly maps *your specific* content, saving hours and ensuring 100% relevance to your source material.

Is the AI PDF to mind map generator free to try?

We offer a generous free tier allowing you to test the AI conversion process on smaller documents so you can see the power of automated concept mapping firsthand.
