Create
Start a map from a topic or a source file, then work it on the canvas: layouts, typeset maths, node AI actions, chat edits, study markers, colour rules, filters and presentation mode.
Starting a map
First pick the syllabus: board → class → subject → chapter. The map you generate is pitched at that level — an acids-and-bases map for CBSE Class 7 and one for Class 10 come out genuinely different — and the map is tagged with the choice.
- Topic or prompt
- Describe what you want and AI draws the first map — coloured per branch, with labelled cross-link arrows between related ideas on different branches.
- PDF, Word or PowerPoint
- Upload a file and the map is built from it. Figures in the source are extracted and attached to the nodes they belong to.
- Audio or video recording
- Upload a recorded lesson. It is transcribed first, then mapped like any other source.
- Web page or YouTube link
- Paste a URL and the page or video becomes the source material.
- Drop in a passage directly when you want tight control over exactly what gets mapped.
The canvas
Three layouts, switchable at any time: - Mind Map — branches spread both ways from the centre; the classic radial picture. - Logic Chart — everything flows left to right; good for cause-and-effect and derivations. - Org Chart — top-down hierarchy; good for classifications. Drag a node to reorder or re-parent it, collapse a branch to tuck it away, and undo/redo freely. Light and dark themes are both supported.
- Add a child under the selected node.
- Add a sibling after the selected node.
- Remove the selected node and its subtree.
Real maths and chemistry
Any node label can carry $...$ LaTeX, typeset by KaTeX. That includes full chemistry through mhchem — write $\ce{2H2 + O2 - 2H2O}$ and the equation renders with proper subscripts and the reaction arrow. While you are editing a label you see the raw LaTeX; the moment you finish, it is typeset. Formulas in AI-generated maps and in chat replies are typeset the same way. This is the reason to build your Physics, Chemistry and Maths revision maps here — a formula sheet that is also a map, instead of formulas flattened into plain text.
Node AI actions
- Select a node and five AI actions work on exactly that part of the map:
- Grow the branch — new child nodes that develop the idea at the map’s level.
- Condense a sprawling subtree into its essential points.
- Rebuild the map centred on this node — turn one branch of a big chapter map into its own deep map.
A memory aid for the branch’s children. It is honest about fit: if the branch is not a list worth memorising, it says so instead of forcing one.
- Teacher-style prose about the node, pitched at the map’s grade, with formulas typeset and an “In the exam:” angle. The explanation appears in the chat.
Chat with the map
The chat panel understands the map you are looking at. Ask it questions — or ask it to change the map: rename a branch, add examples under a node, reorganise a section. Edits arrive as targeted operations on the affected nodes, never a whole-document rewrite, so your own work elsewhere on the map is untouched — and every operation is undoable. Node actions and chat share one transcript, so an Explain on a node and your follow-up questions sit in the same conversation. Formulas in replies are typeset.
Node details
- A rich-text note on the node, written in a full editor — the place for the paragraph that does not belong in a label.
- Attach a URL to the node.
- A date on the node — useful for revision planning.
- Free tags; colour rules and filters can use them.
- Attach an image from your media library, or generate a figure with AI.
- Video with timestamp
- Link a video at a moment — opening it from the node starts playback at that timestamp.
- Key/value facts on a node — chapter, bloom, mastery, exam weight, source, or keys of your own. Colour rules and filters can read them.
Study markers, colour rules and filters
Four marker groups turn a map into a revision tracker — importance (must / should / good to know), difficulty (easy / medium / hard), revision state (not started / revising / confident) and Bloom level (recall / apply / analyse). One choice per group, shown as small glyphs on the canvas. Colour rules paint the map from markers, tags or attributes — “colour by revision state” is one click. Rules never modify the map itself, and a legend explains the colours on every surface, shared links included. Filter shows only the nodes matching a marker, tag or attribute — everything else dims, matches keep their ancestors lit so the path stays readable, and a next/previous stepper walks the matches. Filtering works for students on shared links and course activities too: “show me only the hard ones”.
Two presenting aids: Focus spotlight dims everything outside the selected branch while you talk through it, and Presentation mode walks the map branch by branch full-screen.
AI Units
Generate, import, node actions and chat draw on AI Units. If they run out you get a clear message — and hand-editing, markers, filters, sharing and presenting all keep working.
