Think outside the chatbox

What is mindmap.io?
mindmap.io is a hybrid of a chatbot and a visual mindmap canvas. Every node is a live AI conversation you can fork at any point, and every branch keeps full context. Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other frontier models, all in the same map.

Have Claude Sonnet 5 vs GPT-5.6 side by side for prompt evals
Expand each sub-conversation into further sub-subconversations

See mindmap.io in action

Open the full map
Everything a chat app can't do
You think in branches, not lines.
mindmap.io is built exactly for that.
Lay out your thoughts visually, and collaborate with AI on your ideas.
Prompt AI directly in your mindmap

mindmap.io allows your nodes to be prompts to AI models. AI's response will appear in the node as well.

Can I ask it follow up questions?

Yes, and it carries the context from all its parent nodes.

One canvas, many conversations
Branch off at any point in your conversation.
Every branch keeps full context.
Get a second opinion, or run prompt evals side by side.
Let AI take the wheel
Set a direction and let AI expand your map on autopilot.
It branches off, asks its own follow-ups, and expands on your thought.
Deep dives and knowledge bases, built while you are away.
Big picture when you need it, detail when you don't
AI summarizes every node at four zoom levels.
Zoom out to scan a hundred branches at a glance.
Zoom into any conversation for the full detail.
Ask Claude on one branch, GPT on another
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and more, all in one canvas.
Switch models at any point and compare results side by side.
When in doubt, ask Milo
Milo is mindmap.io's AI agent that lives on the map, can answer questions about the map, or modify the map on your behalf.
It can read the nodes on the map and understand the links, reshape and move around branches, create, edit, or delete any node, or create prompt nodes for you.
Milo can be your study partner, your research assistant, or your do-it-all secretary.

Linear chat is the wrong interface for AI

And we're not the only ones who feel that way. These are real comments from real people describing the same shortcomings. We're building mindmap.io to address them.

I just wish the conversational UXs we had access to were less rubbish, less linear… a 'forking' capability so I can go back to a certain point in time in the chat and fork off a new rabbit hole of context.

I want to be able to fork conversations so I can experiment with the direction an exchange takes without irrevocably poisoning a promising well.
@b800h Hacker News
I find it interesting that no one has created a better interface for these LLMs. Two things that should be available by now… are branching and history editing.

The more valuable a chat becomes, the harder it is to utilize.

ChatGPT thinks along but does not document along.
@yacine.gacem OpenAI Community
I found myself constantly losing track of side questions or ideas.
@paulsp Hacker News
The graph view turns out to be nothing than a bunch of dots… but you can't actually do anything with it.
@ObsidianOverlord9000 Obsidian Forum
Linear chat interfaces simply weren't built for nonlinear thinking.
@Charles Zhang Dev.to
I kept losing track of my AI conversations, prompts, and research. Everything was scattered across tabs, chats, bookmarks, screenshots, and random notes.
@Strikeh Hacker News
ChatGPT's sidebar is fine for finding recent chats. But when you have 500+ conversations across different projects? It falls apart.
@Strikeh Hacker News
I get the best results when I combine perspectives from different AI models. But switching providers to do that was a mess.
@stefbuzas Hacker News
I like the idea of moving away from hierarchal menu navigation, towards spatial map navigation… maps are a lot more natural and easier for people to remember than hierarchies.
@DonHopkins Hacker News
I would love it completely if it had ALL Xmind features, plus collaboration and AI
