Frequently Asked Questions About AI Mapping

Quick answers to help you start visualizing your knowledge instantly.

How does the AI create the map from my document?

The AI uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to identify main topics, sub-points, and the logical flow within your uploaded text or PDF, automatically assigning them to expandable branches.

What types of files can the AI generator read?

We support common document formats including PDF, DOCX, and PPTX, as well as plain text inputs, ensuring maximum flexibility for your source material.
