Overview

What is MyMap?

MyMap is a web-based visual thinking platform that pairs an infinite canvas with an AI chat. Rather than returning paragraphs, it turns a conversation into a structure that can be manipulated: mind maps, flowcharts, diagrams and slides, all produced from a single thread of dialogue.

What separates it from a general chatbot is that the AI reads the canvas itself. It accounts for node positions, connections and neighbours rather than raw text alone, so selecting a node tells the model what sits nearby, what it links to and how to build on it. Generation is streamed: nodes appear as the model works and edges are drawn live, which makes an idea visibly take shape instead of arriving in one block.

The tool is deliberately model-agnostic. It advertises ten models across seven providers, letting users move between Qwen, GPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek without lock-in. The free tier is restricted to economy models such as Qwen 3, Gemini 3 Flash, Claude Haiku 4.5, Minimax, DeepSeek V3.2 and GLM-5, while paid tiers unlock premium models including Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro and Grok 4.20. Image generation is built into the canvas through five Flux models at any aspect ratio.

Four families of use are promoted: brainstorming, planning, analysing and comparing. Outputs cited by the publisher include SWOT analyses, pros-and-cons comparisons, Gantt timelines, database schemas, project roadmaps and study guides. Two galleries extend this: roughly fifteen pre-framed free generators covering 5 Whys, 5S audits, A3 reports, AARRR funnels, affinity diagrams, flashcards and quizzes, plus a template library spanning PESTLE, NPS and design thinking.

Access is immediate. A prompt typed on the homepage starts a map in guest mode, and an account becomes necessary only to save work. The interface is offered in ten languages.

The technical perimeter is narrow: a web application only, with no API, no mobile app and no browser extension. The publisher is also unusually opaque, since no legal entity, postal address or governing jurisdiction appears anywhere on the site.

What it does

  • Turn a prompt written in plain language into a structured mind map, flowchart or diagram
  • Read the whole canvas as context, taking node positions, links and neighbours into account
  • Stream nodes and draw connections live while the model is still generating
  • Switch between ten AI models from seven providers on the same canvas
  • Generate images directly onto the canvas with five Flux models at any aspect ratio
  • Rearrange, connect and edit every node by hand after generation
  • Turn a finished canvas into a presentation or share it
Audience

When to use MyMap / When not to

A quick filter to help you decide if MyMap is the right fit.

When to use MyMap

  • Students and teachers building study guides, flashcards, quizzes or revision maps from a topic described in plain language
  • Product managers and project leads sketching roadmaps, sprint boards, Gantt timelines and dependency flows without opening a diagramming tool
  • Consultants and strategists running structured frameworks such as SWOT, PESTLE, five forces or 5 Whys on a shared canvas
  • Founders and freelancers who need to think a problem through visually and have no budget for a full diagramming suite
  • Marketing and CX teams mapping customer journeys, acquisition funnels and affinity clusters straight out of a working discussion

When not to use MyMap

  • Engineering teams that need programmatic access: there is no API and no developer documentation of any kind
  • Anyone who works primarily on a phone or tablet, since the product ships as a web application with no mobile app and no browser extension
  • Organisations that require a signed data processing agreement, a security certification or a documented training opt-out before adopting a vendor
  • Teams expecting the canvas to connect to their existing stack, as no integration with third-party work tools is documented
  • Buyers whose procurement rules require an identified legal entity, since no company name, postal address or governing jurisdiction appears on the site
Get started

How to use MyMap

A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.

  1. Open the homepage and type a description of what you want to map, in plain language
  2. Start straight away in guest mode, with no account and no payment details
  3. Watch the canvas fill as nodes stream in and connections are drawn live
  4. Pick a model suited to the task, favouring a fast one for drafts and a premium one for deeper reasoning
  5. Select an individual node so the AI works with its immediate context, then ask for an extension or a refinement
  6. Drag, connect and reorganise nodes by hand to match how you actually see the problem
  7. Add generated images onto the canvas where a visual is more useful than a label
  8. Create an account by email or Google sign-in once the work is worth keeping
  9. Switch the canvas to presentation mode or share it when it is ready to be shown
  10. Export your content whenever you want a copy outside the platform

Trust & Privacy

Data, GDPR & hosting

A consolidated view of how MyMap handles your data.

GDPR overview

The privacy policy in force since 25 February 2026 applies the GDPR regime without ever using the words "GDPR compliant". It lists the rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection or restriction, and withdrawal of consent, states that these apply to EU/EEA users, and points them to their supervisory authority. Standard Contractual Clauses are invoked for transfers outside the user's jurisdiction, and breach notification is promised where the law requires it. California residents are handled separately under CCPA/CPRA. Rights are exercised by email. Several instruments are absent: no Article 27 EU representative is designated, no data protection officer is named, no data processing agreement is published or offered, and no security certification such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 is claimed anywhere on the site.

Who owns the data?

Users keep ownership of what they create. The privacy policy states that maps, nodes, connections and chat messages belong to the user, and the terms repeat that ownership of content created on the canvas is retained. In exchange, the publisher takes a licence limited to hosting, storing and processing that content as needed to operate the service. It declares that this material is not used for advertising and is not sold to third parties. Content is exportable before an account is closed. The MyMap brand, software and designs remain the publisher's property, and the licence granted to users lasts only while their account is active.

Reuse rights

Nothing in the terms restricts what a user may do with their own maps or with the material the AI produces for them: ownership of created content is explicitly retained, and no separate permission is required to reuse, publish or commercialise it. Content can be exported before an account is closed, so the work is not locked to the platform. Two limits deserve attention. First, the licence granted to the publisher covers hosting, storage and processing for as long as the account exists. Second, the terms state that AI output is provided for assistance only, is not professional, legal or financial advice, and carries no guarantee of accuracy, completeness or suitability, which places the burden of verification on the user before any downstream use.

Data retention & training

Retention summary
Data is kept for as long as the account remains active. When an account is deleted or a deletion request is made, the publisher removes the data from its active systems within what it describes only as a reasonable timeframe, with no figure attached. Backups may continue to hold deleted data until they are overwritten, again with no stated period. Users can export their maps and content before closing an account, and the same retention policy applies when the publisher terminates an account for breach or operational reasons. No retention duration is quantified anywhere in the privacy policy, and no anonymisation process is described, so the practical lifespan of deleted data cannot be determined from the published documents.

Hosting summary

The publisher commits to no hosting location. The privacy policy states only that it and its providers operate in multiple regions and that data may be processed in the United States, the European Union or other locations, with Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms used for transfers outside the user's jurisdiction. Two infrastructure providers are named: Supabase for the database, authentication and storage, and Vercel for hosting and serverless functions, which may log requests for security and operational purposes. No data residency option is offered, and no jurisdiction is guaranteed. Encryption in transit via TLS and at rest is claimed, alongside access controls and secure authentication. The domain itself sits behind Cloudflare, so the resolved address is an anycast node and says nothing about where the origin server actually is. In practice, a user cannot determine from the published documents which country will hold their maps.

Things to keep in mind

Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting MyMap.

  • No identifiable legal entity: if a subscription dispute arises, there is no named counterparty, and the terms refer only to "the jurisdiction in which MyMap operates" without ever naming it
  • The advertised 12 USD per month requires a 144 USD annual commitment, and every subscription renews automatically unless cancelled before the billing date
  • Prompts and canvas context leave the platform for OpenAI, so confidential material should not be typed in without thought
  • No data processing agreement, no certification and no documented training opt-out, which makes the tool difficult to justify in a regulated environment
  • Letting the AI produce the structure can quietly replace the effort of structuring a problem yourself, which is often where the actual thinking happens
  • A generated map looks authoritative and complete even when it is neither; the terms themselves warn that output is not professional advice and carries no accuracy guarantee
  • The free tier caps you at three maps, so work accumulated over time can become constrained in a way that pushes toward an upgrade rather than a decision
Setup

Setup & Integrations

Technical difficulty

Very low. There is nothing to install and nothing to configure: a browser is enough, and a first map can be generated from the homepage without an account or payment details. Creating an account takes an email and password or a Google sign-in. No API key, webhook or administrative setting is exposed, and no diagramming skill is required, since the structure is described in plain language rather than drawn. The only real learning curve is phrasing a useful prompt and knowing when to switch models.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does MyMap actually produce?
A visual canvas rather than a block of text. From one conversation it builds mind maps, flowcharts, diagrams and slides, and the nodes stay editable: you can drag them, connect them and rearrange them after generation.
How is it different from a general chatbot?
A conventional assistant returns paragraphs. MyMap returns a structure, and its model reads the canvas itself, taking node positions, links and neighbours into account. Selecting a node gives the AI its local context before it extends the map.
Can I try it without creating an account?
Yes. Typing a prompt on the homepage starts a map in guest mode, with no account and no payment details. An account is only needed to save your work and find it again later.
Which AI models can I use?
The publisher advertises ten models from seven providers. The free tier gives access to economy models such as Qwen 3, Gemini 3 Flash, Claude Haiku 4.5, Minimax and DeepSeek V3.2, while paid tiers unlock premium ones including Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5 and Grok 4.20.
Is there a free plan, and what does it cost to upgrade?
A permanent free plan offers 20 credits per month and three canvas maps. Pro costs 12 USD per month but is billed annually, so 144 USD per year, and comes with a 14-day trial. Max is billed monthly at 100 USD.
Is there an API or a mobile app?
Neither. The published sitemap contains only eight pages and lists no developer documentation, no application and no extension. MyMap is a web application and nothing else at the time of review.
Is my content used to train AI models?
The privacy policy states that prompts and canvas context are sent to OpenAI, which does not use that content to train its models under its API terms. The publisher does not separately state whether it trains on user content, and no opt-out option is documented.
Who is behind MyMap?
The site does not say. No legal entity, no postal address, no named founder and no governing jurisdiction appears in the terms, the privacy policy or the footer, and a targeted search returned nothing either.
What is the minimum age to use the service?
Sixteen. The privacy policy states the service is not intended for users under 16 and that data belonging to children is deleted if the publisher is made aware of it.
How long is my data kept, and can I get it out?
Data is retained while the account is active and removed from live systems within an unspecified reasonable period after a deletion request, though backups may hold it until overwritten. Content can be exported before closing an account.
Conclusion

Should you pick MyMap?

MyMap answers a real frustration: an AI assistant that returns a wall of text when what you needed was a structure. Its most convincing idea is that the model reads the canvas rather than the transcript, so it knows where a node sits, what it connects to and how to extend it. Combined with streamed generation, that turns a prompt into something you watch take shape and can then rearrange by hand. The open choice of ten models across seven providers is unusually generous at this price, and guest mode removes every obstacle between curiosity and a first result.

The reservations are of a different nature, and they are not about the product. The publisher is entirely unidentified: no company name, no postal address, no governing jurisdiction, no named founder, and a single obfuscated email address as the only channel. For a service that takes recurring payments, that is a notable gap. The compliance toolkit is equally thin, with no data processing agreement, no certification, no EU Article 27 representative and no documented way to exclude your content from training. The privacy policy also names only OpenAI as recipient of prompts while the homepage advertises seven providers, an inconsistency worth resolving before sensitive material goes onto the canvas.

The technical perimeter is narrow too: a web application, with no API, no mobile app and no integrations. Buyers should also note that the 12 USD monthly headline requires an annual commitment.

As an individual tool for thinking, teaching and planning, MyMap is genuinely useful and very easy to adopt. As a vendor for regulated or enterprise use, it currently offers too little contractual and corporate transparency to be evaluated on the same footing as its competitors.
