Turn PDFs, videos, web pages and recordings into structured AI mind maps

AI diagramming, mind mapping and project tools with 50,000+ templates

MindMap AI is an AI mind map generator that starts from a prompt, PDF, video, audio file or webpage and returns a structured map you can edit by hand or refine in chat. Manual mind mapping is free forever, and AI credits are the paid layer.

Provides extensive drag-and-drop shapes and templates for general diagrams, but weaker automated code-to-diagram capabilities than Eraser.

AI-powered visual collaboration for diagrams, mind maps, and charts

Chat your way to mind maps, flowcharts, and slide decks on one infinite canvas

Combines team whiteboarding, documentation, and diagramming in one platform, but less tailored for automated codebase architecture.
