What it does
MindMap AI turns source material into visual mind maps instead of plain-text summaries. The page captured here is its Text Summarizer: you paste a paragraph, article or notes into a text box that shows a 5,000-character counter, click Summarize, and get a structured map of main ideas and supporting details. The site says the AI tries to keep the meaning by reading the surrounding context, the tone and how ideas connect. The navigation lists a wider set of tools. Summarizers cover articles, PDFs, notes, documents and video, study tools include a concept map maker and book-to-mind-map and research-to-mind-map converters, and further converters handle audio, images, Markdown, CSV, JSON, XML, HTML and Graphviz. Results can be edited by renaming nodes, adjusting layout or branches and refining the map with AI. Maps can be exported as PNG, PDF, SVG, Markdown or CSV files and shared through public or private links. The site describes a free plan that allows unlimited hands-on editing plus basic AI summaries, and it shows a daily-limit message with a prompt to log in and continue with an AI Copilot. The footer links a Chrome extension, iOS and Android apps, a ChatGPT app, a Claude connector and a custom GPT. A language menu lists about thirty languages.
