FAQ
A brainwriting diagram is a visual map of ideas generated during a brainwriting session — a group ideation technique where participants write ideas independently and build on each other's thoughts. It organizes concepts into a central topic with branching sub-ideas, making it easy to see relationships and patterns across the group's input.
Enter your central topic or describe your brainwriting session, and the AI generates a structured mindmap with branches and sub-nodes. You can then edit nodes, adjust the hierarchy, change colors, and export the final diagram — all without any design experience required.
Yes, the core brainwriting diagram maker is completely free. You can create, customize, download, and share diagrams at no cost. Free AI credits are included so you can try AI-powered generation right away. Paid plans unlock more AI credits and advanced features like CSV file upload.
Absolutely. Just describe your topic or paste your session notes, and the AI instantly builds a full brainwriting mindmap — complete with a root node, main branches, and sub-ideas. You can refine it by chatting with the AI or editing nodes manually using the built-in editor.
A brainwriting diagram is a mindmap specifically built to capture output from a brainwriting workshop, where ideas come from multiple contributors. The visual structure is the same — a central topic with hierarchical branches — but the content reflects collaborative group ideation rather than a single person's thinking.
There is no hard limit on nodes. The mindmap supports large diagrams with dozens of ideas. Use the collapsible branches feature to manage complexity and the zoom control to navigate the full map without losing track of any ideas.
Yes. Export your brainwriting diagram as a high-quality PNG or SVG file with one click. PNG files drop directly into PowerPoint, Google Slides, or any document editor. SVG files scale perfectly for print and large-format displays.
Yes. Create your diagram, then share it via a link that teammates can open instantly — no account required to view. You can also embed it in Notion, Confluence, or your team wiki so everyone stays aligned after the session ends.
Yes — it is ideal for live workshop facilitation. Describe the workshop theme, generate an initial mindmap, then add participant ideas as nodes in real time. At the end of the session, export or share the diagram as the workshop's visual deliverable.
The AI generates a customized starting structure based on your specific topic, so every diagram starts relevant rather than generic. You can also begin with the default mindmap structure and build the brainwriting hierarchy manually using the node editor.
