Turn conversations into clarity. Visualize ideas, map discussions, and create structured overviews inside Howspace.
The Mindmap widget is a dynamic visual widget that enables you to map out thoughts, ideas, and conversations. Whether you’re starting from scratch or using AI to generate structures from other content, this widget helps bring clarity and context. Facilitators can use it to organize dialogue, connect ideas, and highlight themes, making the collective input more digestible and engaging for everyone involved.
