How do you summarise a document in mindmap form in just a few seconds? And how do you translate this mindmap into French with just a few clicks? With Mindmap AI, of course.

Last week, I introduced you to an application that uses artificial intelligence to generate mind maps: Mindmap AI. This application saves precious time and is a crucial aid for people with dyslexia, for example. Of course, I wouldn't recommend using this type of tool all the time. But parents of dyslexic pupils who spend hours helping their children with their homework will easily understand the time-saving advantage.

Summarise a document in the form of a mind map

Résumer un document sous forme de carte mentale est sans aucun doute un des meilleurs moyens de le comprendre. Mais, cela prend un certain temps. Nous travaillons en ce moment sur des projets liés à l’autisme (dont nous vous parlerons plus en détail dans de prochains articles). J’ai trouvé un document très intéressant sur une enquête réalisée au Royaume Uni sur les ajustements sur le lieu de travail for people with autism and neurodivergent (dyslexic, ADHD, etc.). The survey and report were produced by University College London (UCL) and the British association Autistica, deux références et deux gages de sérieux.

But the document is in English and is 25 pages long. Nothing impossible, but I've got deadlines to meet. So I used this quicker method: summarising a document in the form of a mind map. with Mindmap AI.

This map is still in English. But I'd like to present it to a French-speaking audience. I can ask Mindmap AI to translate it into French. Here is my entire dialogue with Copilot, Mindmap AI's AI assistant.

And here is the mind map in French that results from this dialogue:
