Mind Mapping Webinar: Leveraging AI-Powered Mind Mapping for Dynamic Industry Research
In this mind mapping webinar, watch me explain how to use AI-generated mind maps with MindMap.ai to create IT industry research, from creating outlines to exploring products, features and ideas.
From the Mind Mapping Webinar transcript, final example, lightly edited for clarity:
I’ll give you one last example. I have been using AI to do synthesis across broad areas. This one is looking at the taxonomies for knowledge management, and I’m going to ask it to create a new taxonomy that synthesizes and reconciles differences between other people’s opinions.
A lot of people—one of the things that AI has is all the knowledge. If I’m an analyst, I’ve probably come up with my taxonomy. I use it for everything. I don’t care about anybody else’s taxonomy. I’m now looking at everybody’s taxonomies, and I’m asking the AI to come up with a synthesis for that and create a new mind map. On each item in the taxonomy, I ask it to provide an example of a product or service associated with the taxonomic category.
This may take a minute for it to churn through. Then we’ll do the last prompt here.
So here we have “knowledge capture.” It’s given me not products, but high-level areas under each one of those: knowledge retrieval and discovery, knowledge storage and organization. Now let’s see for each end node—so now, endpoint node—it’s looking at these as the ends of those branches. There’s nothing below the final points. And now it’s going to place one to three actual products that represent those ideas.
I’m now taking the entire map, and I’ve said: not just by point, but look at the entire map and add products that go under every single end node that you’re seeing in the current map. I thought this was—and there it is. That’s pretty magical, right?
So now we’re looking at question-and-answering systems: Wolfram Alpha, IBM Watson, and Google Cloud. For every single one of those nodes, I didn’t have to do it piece by piece. I gave it a general prompt that allowed it to go off and explore every one of those nodes, and it gave me a real product that I can go out to the web, find that product, and then start looking at it in support of this taxonomy.
I now have a new taxonomy that I can validate. I have examples of things that are under that, that describe the taxonomic area. And then I have real products that fall into those categories. This is, again, the beginning of what we would call a market map in the industry analyst world.
Thank you to mindmap.ai for the opportunity to try its software and explore the AI integration. Look for a review soon.
