AI Mind Maps

PDF to mind map: see how your course connects.

Upload a PDF, slides or lecture notes and Bo turns them into a mind map: a central idea, the main concepts branching off it, and the detail nested underneath. Pan, zoom and fold the branches, then export it.

How it works.

  1. 1

    Upload your lectures

    A chapter, a unit, the whole module. PDFs, slides, Word files and photos of notes all go in.

  2. 2

    Get a mind map

    Bo reads every page, pulls the concepts and lays them out as branches with the detail nested underneath.

  3. 3

    Explore and export

    Pan, zoom and fold branches, open the source pages below, then export as PNG, SVG or PDF.

PDF to mind map: see how it all connects.

A central idea, the main concepts branching off it, the detail nested underneath. The sources sit right below, and the map exports as PNG, SVG or PDF.

A list hides the links. A map shows them.

Every idea, and how it connects.

Bo lays your course out as one branching map, so you can see how concepts build on each other instead of memorizing a flat list of terms.

A PDF mind map generator that reads your lectures

Built from your course, not a template
Bo reads your exact lectures and builds the map from what your course actually covers, with the same structure your material uses.
Branches and nesting from your material
The central idea, main branches, and nested details all come from the pages you upload. The source pages are listed right below the map.
See what connects and what doesn't
A map makes gaps visible. When a concept floats without connections, you know that is where to focus before the exam.

Questions, answered.

Can I turn a PDF into a mind map?

Yes. Upload the PDF (or slides, a Word file or photos of your notes) and Bo reads every page, pulls out the concepts and builds the map. Scanned PDFs work too, because the pages are read by a vision model.

Is it a template I fill in?

No. A template gives you an empty diagram to fill by hand. Bo builds the map from your own file, so the branches are the concepts your course actually covers.

Where do the concepts come from?

From your own lectures, not the open web. Bo reads the pages you upload and pulls out the concepts your course actually covers, then arranges them as a map so you can see the shape of the topic.

How is the map structured?

As a branch-and-nest tree. A central idea sits in the middle, the main concepts branch off it, and the supporting detail nests underneath. It mirrors how the topic is built, so it is easy to scan and recall.

Can I see where each part came from?

Yes. A Sources row sits below the map with chips like Lecture 2, p. 9 that open the file at that page. The map nodes themselves stay clean, so the picture does not get cluttered with citations.

Does it handle formulas?

Yes. Math renders properly inside the nodes, so equations and notation show correctly instead of as raw symbols.

Can I export the map?

Yes. Download the map as a PNG image or an SVG vector to drop into your notes, print, or share with a study group. You can also export it as a PDF, or as a Word file on Pro and up.

Is it free to start?

Yes. Uploading your course and making a mind map is free, with about 4 materials a week. Upgrade when you need more materials a week or heavier exam-season use.
