Frequently Asked Questions About Document Mapping

Quick answers regarding file processing and the AI generation capabilities.

How does the AI create the hierarchical map from my file?

The AI reads the text content, identifying main topics, subheadings, and related bullet points to establish a logical, tree-like structure, which forms the expandable branches of the mind map.

What file types can the AI read besides PPTX?

The CogniGuide AI can ingest and process PDF documents, DOCX files, and raw plain text files to build comprehensive mind maps.

Is this AI generator better than using PowerPoint SmartArt templates?

Yes. SmartArt uses generic layouts. Our AI dynamically structures the map specifically around the unique content and relationships found within your uploaded notes or presentation.

Is the AI mind map generator free to try?

You can test the core functionality by uploading a document for free to see the AI's capabilities before committing to any subscription.
