Multilo now has a Mind Map extension — a one-click install from the marketplace that turns a research paper, or your entire library, into an interactive graph of ideas. Instead of scrolling a 30-page PDF to see how a paper hangs together, you get a map of its concepts, methods, and findings — and how they connect — that you can pan, zoom, and click.
Two ways to map
- A single paper — open any PDF or document and generate a mind map of that paper: its sections, key concepts, methods, results, and the relationships between them. The fastest way to grasp the shape of an argument before you read every word.
- Your whole library — synthesize across all your sources into one map, so recurring themes, shared methods, and the links between papers surface visually. Perfect for a literature review, a proposal, or finding the thread that ties a reading list together.
What you get
- A real interactive graph — pan, zoom, and click nodes to explore. Not a static image — a live map you can move through.
- AI-built structure — the extension reads the actual content of your sources and lays out concepts, methods, and findings with meaningful connections, not a generic template.
- Grounded in your sources — the map is built from what's actually in your papers, so it reflects your library, not a hallucinated summary.
- Runs inside Multilo — the map opens in its own in-app tab alongside your documents and chat. No export to another tool, no upload.
How it works
- Install the extension — open the marketplace inside Multilo and add Mind Map (it's free).
- Pick your scope — a single open paper, or synthesize your whole library.
- Generate — the agent reads your sources and builds the graph.
- Explore — pan, zoom, and click through the concepts and how they connect, right in a Multilo tab.
Why it matters
Reading is linear; understanding isn't. A mind map gives you the structure of a paper — or a whole field — at a glance, so you can see where the ideas sit relative to each other before you commit to a deep read. It's the fastest way to orient yourself in an unfamiliar paper, spot the gaps across a reading list, or plan the shape of your own argument.
Try it
Open Multilo, head to the extensions marketplace, and install Mind Map — then open a paper and generate your first map.
