Refine with AI lets you improve an existing mind map with a set of AI actions. You can expand or shorten the text on a topic, add notes, restyle a branch, or reorganize your whole map — without starting over.

Open Refine with AI

You can open Refine with AI from any topic on your map:

1. Select a topic on your map.
2. On the floating toolbar, click the AI (✨) button — the first item on the toolbar. Hovering over it shows the label Refine with AI.
3. Choose an action from the menu.

Edit a Single Topic and Its Branch

When you select a topic and open Refine with AI, the following actions apply to that topic and its branch:

• Expand content — adds more detail to the topic and its subtopics.
• Shorten text — makes the wording more concise.
• Add notes — generates notes for the topic and its subtopics.
• Apply styling — applies styling to the topic and its branch.

Edit Your Whole Map

When you select the central topic and open Refine with AI, three whole-map actions appear at the top of the menu, above a separator:

• Group related topics — identifies and groups related topics together.
• Tidy up map — cleans up and reorganizes your map.
• Balance layout — arranges your topics into a more balanced layout.

Below the separator, the four content actions — Expand content, Shorten text, Add notes, and Apply styling — are also available and apply to the whole map.
