You can use SmartDraw’s AI integration to generate a mind map using natural language prompts.
Start by clicking on the star icon in the left bar to switch the SmartPanel to the SmartDraw Intelligence view.
Click Generate with AI.
On the next panel, select Mind Map.
The chat will be prefilled with some standard query language to help the LLM generate the right type of diagram for you.
Type in your prompt and hit the send icon in the lower right corner to send your prompt to the LLM.
For example, you can try the following prompt to get a simple mind map:
Can you create a mind map that brainstorms ideas for skills and tools that a new business analyst should be learning early in their career?After the mind map is generated, a chat message will notify you, and the mind map will appear inside a frame in the drawing area on the right.
You can continue to modify the generated mind map using AI. Ask to remove items or add more detail. For example, we asked the LLM to remove the popular tools section and replace with a section about visualization tools and show both diagramming and data visualization tools.
You can also modify the generated mind map with SmartDraw’s built-in mind mapping tools. Modify colors, add topics, and more.
If you want to see the chat history that generated the mind map, just select the frame around the mind map. It will automatically switch your view of the SmartPanel back to SmartDraw Intelligence and your chat history.
