Transform messy meeting notes into structured mind maps in seconds. My team loves how easily we export to presentation decks. Would love keyboard shortcuts for node connections though!

My second brain for academic research. The AI summarizes dense papers and finds connections I'd miss. No more copy-pasting across 20 browser tabs. Citation tracking alone is worth the subscription.
