SAVE a TON of Time with this FREE AI Mind Mapping App

Hello everyone, Scott Friesen here at Simpletivity, helping you get more done and enjoy less stress. Today, I'm going to show you how to save a ton of time with a free AI mind mapping app named Miro.

Using a mind mapping tool is one of the most challenging tasks, primarily because it can be time-consuming to get started. You might think, "Okay, I'm going to grab this shape here and call this my new idea," and then proceed to step one of that idea. This process can take a long time.

But what if you could create a complete mind map in a matter of seconds? That’s precisely what I'm going to show you today.

At first glance, you might assume that this intricately detailed mind map took a full hour, if not longer, to create. You'd probably think I brainstormed extensively, collaborated with others, and refined numerous groupings. In reality, it took me just a few seconds using Miro’s AI capabilities.

Here's how I did it:

  1. Generate a Mind Map with AI:

    • In Miro, click on the settings icon and select the command palette.
    • Use the AI-assisted prompts to get started. For example, I wanted to generate a mind map for a new pet grooming business. After entering a few keywords, my mind map was ready in seconds.

  2. Edit and Customize:

    • The mind map included various crucial areas such as location, services, supplies, finances, legal, staff, marketing, and the target market.
    • You can edit and group items as needed. For instance, you can create a connection between ear cleaning and shampoo & conditioning.

  3. Expand Ideas with AI:

    • Select an idea in your mind map, such as "Target Market."
    • Click on the AI icon to expand your thoughts further, generating questions, ideas, or topics. This feature can help refine your brainstorming process significantly.

  4. Use Sticky Notes:

    • For organizing and grouping ideas, Miro’s sticky note feature is invaluable.
    • Say you want to generate 25 icebreaker questions for a business budgeting workshop. Miro’s AI can assist with that in mere seconds.
    • You can easily group, color code, and connect these sticky notes.

  5. Advanced AI Features:

    • Select sticky notes and use AI to cluster them by keywords or sentiment.
    • You can also summarize user feedback quickly, saving time sifting through countless comments.

Using Miro not only accelerates your brainstorming process but also helps in organizing ideas and user feedback efficiently.
