Three stops from source to map
No blank canvas, no dragging boxes around. Bring something you're learning and Map It draws the first draft.
Add a source
Paste a YouTube link or article URL, upload a PDF or Word doc, link a podcast transcript, or just paste text.
Map the big ideas
Map It reads the whole thing and draws the core concepts as connected nodes — picking a map shape that fits the content.
Explore and remember
Open branches, ask questions, tap unfamiliar terms for plain-word explanations — and keep the map for later.
Sources
Bring learning in any shape
Six kinds of sources, one map language. If you can read it or watch it, you can map it.
- YouTubePaste a link — the video's captions become the map.
- WebsitesArticles and blog posts, mapped straight from the page.
- PDFsPapers, reports, and textbook chapters, up to 15 MB.
- Word docsYour own .docx notes and drafts, section by section.
- Podcast transcriptsLink an episode transcript (.vtt, .srt, or text file).
- Pasted textLecture notes, transcripts, anything you can copy.
Features
Made for exploring, not just looking
A generated map is only the start — the point is what you can do once it's in front of you.
Maps with a shape
Roadmaps, cause-and-effect chains, decision trees, comparisons — the map's structure follows the content instead of forcing one template.
Interactive branches
Click any node to go deeper; grow new branches where you're curious.
Grounded explanations
Every explanation comes from your source — not from thin air.
Ask the map
Chat with the whole map or a single node when something's unclear.
A glossary that grows
Tap a term for a plain-words definition; it's saved to the map's glossary.
Your map library
With an account, every map is saved and searchable at /maps — on any device.
Share the view, keep the pen
Send a view-only link; editing stays with your private creator link.
Use cases
