Mind map FAQs
What is an AI mindmap generator?
It’s a tool that turns a short description or outline into a complete mind map with labeled nodes and branches. You can edit the hierarchy, collapse sections, zoom, and export your map in common formats.
How do I create a mind map with AI?
Type your main idea and key branches, then run Generate. The AI proposes a clean structure. Use + Child to add branches, edit Node labels, or remove nodes. Adjust spacing, sizes, and animation for readability, then export PNG or SVG.
