How it works

Six steps to clear, shareable thinking.

Choose a template, build your map, refine it, connect with your team, present live, and export anywhere.

Step 1

Choose

Start from a template or blank

Pick a ready-made template for debate, essay, decision tree, or project plan — or start from a blank canvas. Either way, you have the right structure from the first click.

  • Select a template (debate, essay, decision tree, project)
  • Or start with an empty map
  • Templates include suggested shapes and a clear layout
Step 2

Build

Create your argument map

Add nodes for main ideas, statements, decisions, and conclusions. Connect them with smart connectors. Your thinking takes a clear visual form in minutes.

  • Add shapes: circles for ideas, boxes for statements, diamonds for decisions, triangles for conclusions
  • Connect nodes with drag-and-drop
  • Type or paste text into each node
Step 3

Refine

Edit and organize

Move nodes, reword text, and adjust the layout as your thinking evolves. Zoom and pan to focus on one branch, or see the whole map at a glance.

  • Drag nodes to rearrange the map
  • Edit text in any node at any time
  • Zoom, pan, and expand or collapse branches
Step 4

Connect

Collaborate in real time

Invite your team or class to the same map. Edit together, leave comments on specific nodes, and discuss in context. Everyone stays on the same page.

  • Invite others with a link or email
  • Comment on any node — discussions stay attached
  • See changes and cursor positions in real time
Step 5

Present

Show your map live

Present your argument in full-screen mode for meetings or class. No switching apps — your map is the slide deck. Share your screen or use built-in present mode.

  • Enter full-screen present mode with one click
  • Navigate through the map as you talk
  • Share your screen in any video call
Step 6

Export

Share and take it anywhere

Take your map with you. Export to PDF for reports and handouts, embed in Notion or Google Docs, or share a link. One map, every format you need.

  • Export to PDF with one click
  • Embed in Notion, Google Docs, or your site
  • Share a link so others can view or edit
