Common Questions About AI Mind Mapping
Everything you need to know before generating your first interactive map.
How does the AI create the hierarchical structure for my map?
The AI analyzes semantic relationships within your uploaded text. It identifies key themes, sub-topics, and supporting evidence, automatically organizing them into a logical, expandable tree structure perfect for diagramming complex systems.
What files can the AI read to build the design thinking map?
The AI generator supports a wide range of inputs, including PDFs, DOCX, PPTX files, and raw text entries. Simply upload the documents containing your research notes or workshop findings.
Is this better than using a static Design Thinking template?
Yes, because the AI personalizes the map entirely to your specific content. While templates offer a starting point, CogniGuide automatically populates and structures the nodes based on your unique requirements, providing genuine concept mapping.
Is the AI generator free to try?
We offer a free tier that allows you to experience the power of generating one or two interactive maps. Full access to advanced export and collaboration features requires a subscription.
