"AI-Powered Mind Mapping for Better Thinking"

Hey everyone!:wave:

Iโ€™m exploring AI-powered mind mapping to better structure my thoughts and improve decision-making. I have great ideas but struggle with memory**, so I want an AI system that helps me capture, organize, and reference past insights in a meaningful way.

Are there existing tools that do this well? Or would a custom AI system be a better approach? Open to thoughts, recommendations, and collaboration! :rocket:

Hi @jonathandadzie23 !

I have used Miro in the past for mind maps, and I think they have some kind of AI-infused functionality now?

Are you after something that structures your text and raw thoughts into a mind map? If so, there is Mapify, which uses GPT-4o and other LLMs under the hood.

I donโ€™t think itโ€™s too difficult to build something bespoke either. You basically need three components:

  • Prompt that sends your raw thoughts / text to an LLM, with a graph-like schema - it can be as simple as just requesting back an array of JSON objects that tie two entities together, i.e. {"node1": "Brew Coffee", "node2": "Millers Roastery on 5th Street"}. It can be a lot more complicated of course!
  • Database to store those graphs - can be as simple as just writing those JSON objects into sqlite, or you can go big with a proper graph db like Neo4j
  • Something to visualize the graph in a nice way - either you build it yourself e.g. using JavaScript, or maybe use some external package like NetworkX
