Using mind maps to understand big topics

See how the pieces fit together. Zoom, pan, and fullscreen mind maps generated from your sources.

When to reach for a mind map

When the topic has more than 5 concepts and you need to see how they connect — not just what they are. Mind maps are the fastest way to grasp the shape of a domain.

How to use it

Pick your sources → open the Mindmap tab → choose a preset (Hierarchical, Concept Web, Process Flow) or write a custom prompt → Generate. Zoom with the mouse wheel, drag to pan, click a node to expand. Hit fullscreen for presenting or studying.

Practical benefits

Pre-read prep — generate a mind map before reading a long paper to know what to look for.
Revision overview — print or screenshot for your wall.
Teach-back — explain the map out loud to lock the structure into memory.
