What is MyMap AI?
MyMap AI is a browser-based visual canvas where you chat with an AI model and watch the answer appear as a mind map, flowchart or diagram. You can start from a sentence, pasted notes, a PDF, a Word document or a YouTube link. You then select any node and ask for changes in plain language, and the AI edits that part while leaving the rest of the board alone.
MyMap AI is published by a company trading as MyMap, which does not name its founders on the site, and ToolJunction lists it as founded in 2022. The company claims more than 200,000 users, 2 million maps created and 50 million AI messages processed. In October 2026 the site was live with Free, Pro and Max plans and a choice of economic and premium AI models.
Key Features
- Chat-to-diagram canvas: MyMap AI turns a conversation with an AI model into a visual map on an infinite canvas. You keep chatting to expand branches, so the diagram grows as your thinking develops.
- Many diagram types: MyMap AI creates mind maps, flowcharts, SWOT analyses, org charts, swimlanes, timelines, Kanban boards and concept maps. It also handles genograms and ERD, BPMN and UML schemas for technical work.
- File and video input: MyMap AI builds diagrams from pasted notes, PDFs, Word documents and YouTube links. Students can turn a lecture video or reading into a study map without retyping the content.
- Node-level AI editing: MyMap AI lets you select a single node and describe the change you want. The AI rewrites that element only, which avoids regenerating the whole board for a small fix.
- Slides from frames: MyMap AI converts any framed section of the board into a slide. You can present from the browser or export the deck as a PDF with one page per frame.
- Choice of AI models: MyMap AI offers economic models such as DeepSeek V4 Flash and Qwen 3 on every plan. Paid plans add premium models, including Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5 and GPT-5.6 Terra.
- Exports and templates: MyMap AI exports to PNG, SVG, PDF and Markdown, or shares a link to the board. A template library covers common layouts such as swimlanes, timelines and org charts.
Pros
- Useful free plan: MyMap AI gives free users monthly credits, three editable maps and fast economic models with no card required. That is enough to test the chat-to-diagram workflow on a real project.
- Low Pro price: MyMap AI Pro costs $12 a month on yearly billing for 1,000 credits and unlimited maps. A $1 trial offer lets you check premium models before paying the full $144.
- Wide range of inputs: MyMap AI accepts text, PDFs, Word files and YouTube links on the same canvas. Researchers and students can map source material directly instead of summarising it first.
- Diagrams become slides: MyMap AI turns framed parts of a map into a presentation. Consultants and teachers can move from brainstorm to deck without rebuilding visuals in separate slide software.
- Multilingual interface: MyMap AI’s site is available in ten languages, including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. Non-English teams and students can therefore work in a familiar interface.
Cons
- Watermarked free exports: MyMap AI’s free plan exports PNG files with a watermark and no PDF. Anyone sharing diagrams in reports or client work will need Pro or Max for clean files.
- Credits run out: MyMap AI charges credits for AI messages, and unused credits do not roll over each month. Heavy users on Pro may need the $100 Max plan for 10,000 credits.
- Unclear free allowance: MyMap AI’s homepage mentions five monthly free credits while the pricing page lists 20. Directories add older plan names and prices, so check the live pricing page before deciding.
- AI maps need refinement: MyMap AI’s generated structures can need manual tidying for complex topics, according to ToolJunction. Expect to rename nodes and reorganise branches before sharing a final diagram.
- Little company detail: MyMap AI does not name its team, an API or a mobile app on its homepage. Businesses that need vendor checks or system integrations will find limited information to review.
Who is Using MyMap AI?
- Students: turn lectures, PDFs and YouTube videos into study mind maps.
- Consultants: build SWOT analyses and frameworks, then present them as slides.
- Product and engineering teams: sketch flowcharts, ERDs and UML diagrams from a description.
- Therapists and coaches: map client goals, genograms and concept maps during sessions.
Pricing
MyMap AI costs nothing on the Free plan, $12 a month for Pro on yearly billing and $100 a month for Max (official prices, October 2026).
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Monthly free credits, up to 3 canvas maps, economic models, watermarked PNG export |
| Pro | $12 a month billed yearly ($144 a year) | 1,000 credits a month, unlimited maps, premium models, PDF and clean PNG export, $1 trial offer |
| Max | $100 a month billed monthly | 10,000 credits a month, unlimited maps, premium models, seven-day money-back guarantee |
ToolJunction still lists older Plus, Pro and Team Pro plans at $15 to $25 a month, and the homepage quotes five free credits against 20 on the pricing page. Plan names and credit allowances have shifted over time, so the pricing page at checkout is the figure to trust.
What Makes MyMap AI Unique?
Node-level editing on an open canvas sets MyMap AI apart from text-first chatbots and template-led diagram apps. You talk to the AI, it draws the structure, and then you point at one box and ask for a change without regenerating everything else. The same board can hold a mind map, a flowchart and a SWOT grid, and any framed section turns into a slide for presenting.
Compatibilities and Integrations
- Platforms: Web app that runs in any modern browser, with a ten-language interface.
- Inputs: Text prompts, pasted notes, PDFs, Word documents and YouTube links.
- AI models: DeepSeek V4 Flash, Qwen 3 and other economic models, plus Claude, GPT and Gemini premium models on paid plans.
- Exports: PNG, SVG, PDF, Markdown, presentation slides and shareable links.

- Type a prompt or add a PDF, Word document or YouTube link to the chat.
- Pick a diagram type or template, such as a mind map, flowchart or SWOT grid.
- Select individual nodes and ask the AI to expand, rewrite or restructure them.
- Frame key sections as slides, then present in the browser or export to PDF or PNG.

Summary
MyMap AI suits students, consultants and small teams who want to think visually and turn rough ideas or source files into diagrams quickly. Its main limitation is the credit system, since unused credits expire and the free plan exports watermarked images. Company, privacy and integration details are also thin. Start on the free plan with a real PDF or YouTube lecture, then take the $1 Pro trial if you need clean exports.
