# Auto Mind Map

> AI-powered interactive mind mapping tool for exploring ideas through branching Q&A

## What is Auto Mind Map?

Auto Mind Map is a web application that helps users explore and understand topics through AI-powered mind mapping. Users ask questions, and the AI generates answers that automatically become nodes in an interactive visual mind map. This creates a branching tree of knowledge that users can navigate, reorganize, and build upon.

## Key Features

- **AI-Powered Q&A**: Ask any question and get AI-generated answers from GPT-4, GPT-3.5, or Google Gemini
- **Visual Mind Mapping**: Answers appear as interactive nodes in a React Flow-based canvas with zoom, pan, and drag
- **Branching Exploration**: Follow-up questions create child branches, building a tree of related knowledge
- **Learning Paths**: Guided, step-by-step learning sequences on specific topics
- **Gamification**: XP system, streaks, achievements, and leaderboards
- **Question Notepad**: Side panel for jotting down questions to explore later
- **Semantic Zoom**: Zooming out reveals topic clusters and region labels
- **Multiple Layouts**: Hierarchical, radial, and other layout options for organizing nodes
- **Save & Load**: Authenticated users can save and manage multiple mind maps
- **Export**: Export mind maps as images
