For my children,
I need to generate mindmaps from image taken from books.
I want to use a frontier model (i.e. Claude, Mistral, ChatGPT, Grok...) but I want the most effective in terms of cost and quality.
I was not impressed so much by Mapify or NotebookLM.
Do you have some skills / suggestions / successful stories to share?
I don't use AI for my mind map, but if you're actually trying to map your mind, I recommend against using a frontier model. I recommend seeding the mind map by hand using open formats (ie: something markdown or org based) and then slowly introducing AI tools to automate the high friction mechanical processes you bump into.
The reason I recommend against a frontier model is that any halfway decent model (like, single card consumer GPU level models) can automate the mechanical processes of this kind of tasking.
