What Mindmapi is
Mindmapi is a browser-based study tool that turns learning materials into interactive mind maps for studying and revision. Sources can include typed notes, PDFs, Word documents, lecture recordings, and YouTube links. Users can move branches, edit nodes, add notes, recolour branches, draw arrows or brackets, and paste images. AI can explain a topic and place that explanation on a map node. Live sessions let classes or study groups edit one map together through a shared link. Maps export to PDF or Word, with DOCX listed among the formats. Mindmapi runs on laptops, tablets, and phones without installation. The free plan includes AI analysis of imported content, unlimited customisation, and three AI-powered suggested topic notes. The Pro plan lists up to 30 AI-generated maps monthly, unlimited custom maps and suggested topic notes, multi-format import, and advanced export options. Documents are limited to 1 MB each and audio files to 5 MB.
