Generate a mind map with AI on your MockFlow board, add topics with the keyboard and change its theme and layout.

A mind map starts from one central idea and branches out into topics and details. In MockFlow the MindMap component lives right on the board, so you can brainstorm a plan, a lesson or a campaign beside the rest of your work.

Generating a bakery launch plan mind map with AI

Generate a mind map with AI

  1. Click Add anything (the plus button) in the toolbar at the bottom of the board and choose MindMap.

  2. With the mind map selected, click the AI button on the left of its toolbar and choose Generate new.

  3. Describe the topic, for example "Launch plan for a neighborhood bakery", and click the send button.

The AI menu also has Modify with AI, to add or rework branches with a prompt, and Convert to, to turn the mind map into another kind of item on the board.
