Mind maps

Mind maps in Notemage are AI-generated concept hierarchies that render as interactive, collapsible trees. They're a great way to see the shape of a topic before you dive into details.

#How they're built

Mind maps are generated by Mage Chat (or by the page generate route). The AI uses Markdown headings to express the hierarchy:

# Biology

## Cells

### Prokaryotic

### Eukaryotic

## Genetics

### DNA

### RNA

# is the root, ## are top-level branches, ### are sub-branches, and so on. The AI is told to keep node text concise.

#Asking for one

Open Mage Chat, attach the page or document you want to map, and ask:

"Make a mind map of this chapter."

Mage Chat picks the create_mindmap tool, generates the markdown hierarchy, and the renderer turns it into an interactive map you can collapse and expand.

#Where they live

A generated mind map gets saved into the notebook. You can re-open it from the notebook's content sidebar at any time.

#Why use a mind map vs. a flashcard deck

• Mind map — for getting an overview, spotting gaps in your understanding, and seeing how concepts relate.
• Flashcards — for drilling specific facts.
• Quiz — for testing recall.

They're complementary. A common workflow is: generate a mind map first to see the shape of the material, then generate flashcards from the same page to memorise the details.
