mindmap.io

Overview

mindmap.io is a web-based mind mapping app that combines traditional mind maps with AI chat. Its core idea: every node can be a live AI conversation, any response can be forked at any time, and the entire map stays visible. ### Core Mechanics - **Nodes as conversations**: Each node can act as an AI chat window, letting you ask questions directly inside it. - **Context flows along branches**: When you create a new branch, it carries the full path from the root to the current node as context, so branches never interfere with each other. - **Switch models per node**: Choose different LLMs for different nodes, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and more. - **Plain text nodes**: Not every node needs AI. You can take regular notes and bring in AI only when needed. ### Key Capabilities - **Zoom overview**: For large maps, zoom out to compress each node into a one-line summary for a quick global view. - **Rich media support**: Nodes can contain images, PDFs, and Markdown, with color-coded categories. - **Built-in Agent Milo**: A built-in agent named Milo that can edit your mind map directly. - **External agent access**: With the mindmap.io connector, you can control your map from your own Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok Bot. - **AI auto-exploration**: Let AI autonomously explore topics and build a knowledge base. ### Sharing & Collaboration Publish a map as a read-only link anyone can open without an account, or embed it on a webpage. Anyone with the link can copy the map into their own workspace and keep expanding it. ### Who It's For Ideal for researchers, developers, and knowledge workers who need to explore complex problems from multiple angles, organize AI conversation context, and build structured knowledge bases.

Q&A

What context does each prompt use?AI-generated

The context is the path from the root node to that node—nothing else. This lets two branches explore opposite directions without interfering with each other.

Can I share a map with someone who doesn't have an account?AI-generated

Yes. You can publish a mind map to get a read-only link anyone can open, or embed it on a webpage.

Does it work on mobile?AI-generated

Yes. mindmap.io runs in phone and tablet browsers with touch pan, zoom, and editing—no app install required.

Do you use my maps to train AI?AI-generated

No. Your prompts are sent only to the model provider you choose to answer that node, and are never used for AI training.

Does a new branch remember the conversation above it?AI-generated

Yes. Every branch carries the full path above it, so you don't need to re-enter previous context.
