Explore the academic literature as a visual graph of related papers
Each graph places the seed paper among its most closely related works, clustered by how often papers are cited together or share references.
Separate perspectives show what a paper builds on and what later work builds on it, which is ideal for tracing a research lineage.
Start from a paper title, DOI, URL or proceedings link, so you can enter the graph from whatever you already have at hand.
A ranked list view lets you browse related publications by relevance when you need specifics rather than an overview.
Turn ideas, PDFs, videos and URLs into structured mind maps
Feed in a short prompt, a PDF, a YouTube link or any web page and the AI extracts the key concepts and arranges them into a coherent map hierarchy.
Add free-form notes to nodes, draw links between ideas, attach icons and media, and organize branches with custom tags to match how you actually think.
Switch between themes so maps look right for a personal brainstorm, a client deck or an internal workshop.
Generate a public link for live viewing, or export maps as PDF, PNG and JPEG for presentations and documentation.
