Generate mind maps with AI from the material you already have.
Drop in PDFs, paste a YouTube link, record a lecture, or upload notes. Mappy AI structures the content into a visual mind map with embedded images and traceable sources you can edit and expand.
Why use an AI mind map generator
Mappy AI keeps the speed of AI generation, but lets you stay in control of the structure afterward.
Start from source material
- Bring in PDFs, slides, notes, and links.
- Get a first-pass structure in minutes.
- Keep the big picture visible from the start.
Refine instead of regenerate
- Edit any node manually after generation.
- Expand only the branches that need more depth.
- Keep sources and context attached to the map.
How it works
Three steps from source material to a usable map.
1. Add your source
Upload a PDF, drop in a lecture recording, paste a YouTube link, or share any URL — Mappy works with all of them.
2. Let Mappy AI build the structure
It turns the content into a clean hierarchy you can scan immediately.
3. Deepen the branches that matter
Ask follow-up questions, expand specific sections, and export when you are ready.
What you get
Grounded generation
The generated map stays tied to the material you uploaded instead of floating as generic AI output.
Targeted expansion
Grow one branch at a time without losing the structure of the rest of your map.
Visual mind maps with images
Switch to Visual mode and Mappy attaches images to your nodes — page snapshots from PDFs or topic images from the web — so the generated map looks like a textbook, not a wall of bullets.
FAQ
Short answers before you start.
Can I edit the generated mind map manually?
Yes. The AI gives you a starting structure, but every node stays editable.
What can I generate from?
PDFs, Word documents, slides, spreadsheets, images, audio recordings, and YouTube videos. You can also paste any webpage URL. Mappy extracts the content and builds the structure from there.
Do I need a paid plan to try it?
No. Free includes 5 AI generations to get a real feel for the tool. Pro adds 40 per month plus PDF export, Max adds 300 per month plus collaboration.
