01

Describe the question and concepts

Name what you want to explain and list the ideas involved. Include relationships you already know, such as depends on, contains or leads to.

02

Watch the relationships connect

The assistant places concepts on the canvas and joins them with labeled links. Connections can cross between groups when an idea relates to more than one part of the explanation.

Refine, then export

Read each concept-link-concept statement and correct unclear or unsupported relationships. Ask for missing cross-links, then export PNG for free or PDF with Pro.

What is a concept map?

A concept map explains relationships by connecting named concepts with labeled links. Reading a concept, its link phrase and the connected concept should form a meaningful statement about the subject.

When to use one

Use one to explain how ideas relate, such as how evidence supports a claim or system parts depend on one another. Choose a tree diagram for category membership, or a mind map for topic branches without labeled connections.

What a good concept map looks like

  1. A focus question that guides inclusion, keeping the map centered on an explanation rather than an inventory.
  2. Concept labels that name things or ideas, leaving the relationship to the connecting phrase.
  3. Links with specific connecting words, such as requires or is an example of instead of relates to.
  4. Directions that make each statement readable, so the two concepts and link form the intended meaning.
  5. Cross-links supported by the subject, adding connections that explain something rather than filling empty space.

How MyMap builds it

The assistant connects your concepts with relationship labels on the canvas. Ask it to explain a link or distinguish association from causation. Edit names and connecting words until each concept-link-concept statement matches the evidence you supplied.

Common questions

Why is the example different from a labeled concept map?

The LLM example is drawn as a mind map with topic branches. It lacks labeled relationship links and cross-links. Ask for explicit concept-link-concept statements in your own map.

What makes a useful linking phrase?

Use words that state the relationship, such as is part of, requires or provides evidence for. Read both concepts with the phrase to check that the statement is clear.

Does every concept need to connect to a single root?

No. A concept can connect to several other concepts when those links explain the subject. Keep the focus question clear so the resulting network remains readable.
