What it does
Turns a topic or an uploaded document into a branching map, then lets you expand any node into sub-branches and have the AI search the web and write summaries with links for deeper reading. Everything is editable by hand too — drag to reorder, insert images, recolour branches, add checkboxes, export in several formats, with history and undo. Usable straight from the browser, or self-hosted against a local Ollama model if you would rather keep the material off someone else's server. No licence file is published.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

Mind-Map-Wizard FAQ
- Is Mind-Map-Wizard free?
- Mind-Map-Wizard itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use Mind-Map-Wizard?
- You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.
- Does Mind-Map-Wizard work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use Mind-Map-Wizard commercially?
- The project does not state a clear licence, so commercial use cannot be confirmed here. Check the official page or ask the author before using it at work.
