Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about our AI-powered visualization approach.

How does the AI create the map structure from my input?

Our AI uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze the semantic relationships, headings, and structural cues within your text. It then builds a logical, hierarchical structure where main topics branch naturally into supporting details.

What file types can the AI generator read?

The AI is optimized for major document formats, including PDFs, DOCX, PPTX files, as well as plain text input directly into the prompt box.

Is this better than using a static mind map template?

Yes. While templates offer a fixed look, our AI personalizes the entire structure based specifically on the content of your uploaded text, creating a custom concept map tailored exactly to your material.

Is the AI generator free to try?

You can start immediately by uploading your documents to see the AI in action and generate your first interactive map overview for free.
