You can build mind maps in seconds by leveraging AI. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to transform complex ideas into visual and informative mind maps for free using ChatGPT. Here’s one way to do it:

Step 1: Go to ChatGPT and use this prompt
Head over to ChatGPT. You can either use GPT-3.5 (free version) or GPT-4 (paid version). Write the following prompt:
“Create a mind map of [Your Topic]. List topics as central ideas, main branches, and sub-branches.”
Step 2: Transforming Text into Structure
Ask It to create a mind map in markdown format.
If ChatGPT does not send you your result in a code box like this, send this prompt:
“Send me that again in markmap.js formatting inside the code box”
or
“Create this same mind map in markdown format”
Then click on Copy code
(You can also make the changes you want to the information or structure, that’s the advantage of having the code.)
Step 3: Visualise with MarkMap
Go to MarkMap and copy and paste your markdown output from chatGPT into the MarkMap editor.
After finishing, download it as an interactive HTML for online use or as an SVG for pictures.
