With Meister AI, you can turn ideas, notes, or documents into structured mind maps in seconds. Simply enter a prompt, upload a file, or combine both to automatically generate a map with organized branches and topics.

Where can I access Generate with AI?

You can start generating a mind map directly from Home. The prompt box is always available there, even if you don't have any mind maps yet.

To generate a map from Home:

1. Click Home in the left sidebar.
2. In the box below What do you want to create?, describe your mind map, or upload a document with the paperclip icon.
3. Click the arrow button to generate your map.

Need inspiration? Click one of the suggested prompts below the box to get started.

You can also generate a map from All maps:

1. Click All maps in the left sidebar.
2. Click Create and select Generate with AI.

Create a mind map with a prompt

You can generate a complete mind map by describing the topic you want to explore. Meister AI will automatically organize your ideas into branches and subtopics.

To create a map from a prompt:

1. Click Home in the left sidebar.
2. Enter a short prompt describing your topic in the box below What do you want to create?
3. Click the arrow button.

MindMeister will automatically create a structured mind map based on your prompt.

Create a mind map from a file

You can also generate a mind map from an existing document or image. Meister AI analyzes the uploaded content and extracts key ideas to build a structured map.

Supported file types include:

• PDF
• .docx
• .xlsx
• .pptx
• Image files

To create a map from a file:

1. Click Home in the left sidebar.
2. Click the paperclip icon in the box and upload a supported file.
3. Optional: add a prompt to guide the AI.
4. Click the arrow button.

The AI will analyze the file and automatically convert the main ideas into a structured mind map.

Customize your AI-generated mind map

After generating a mind map, you can quickly adjust its appearance and layout using the toolbar in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

These controls allow you to refine how your map looks without manually editing each branch.

With the toolbar, you can:

• Change the map theme
• Adjust the layout of your branches
• Provide feedback on the generated result

Theme and layout options were previously available, but are now easier to access directly from the toolbar, so you can quickly fine-tune your map after generation.

Combine prompts and files

For more precise results, you can combine a file upload with a prompt. This allows you to guide how the AI structures the generated map.

For example, you could:

• Upload meeting notes and ask the AI to create a project plan
• Upload a presentation and request a simplified summary map
• Upload research material and ask for key themes

How many AI credits does Generate with AI use?

Each mind map you create with Generate with AI uses 100 of your monthly AI credits. To see how many AI credits are included in your plan, see Meister AI credits in MindMeister.
