Session Overview

Philippe Boukobza demonstrates how generative AI reshapes mind mapping workflows using ChatGPT and Xmind Copilot. The session shows how Xmind Copilot and ChatGPT 3.5/4 can create full mind maps from a single prompt, expand branches, and generate article text that follows the map structure. It also covers adding AI-generated images to improve map design.

This webinar matters because it connects AI-assisted idea generation with practical export/import steps and visual design. Xmind Copilot is presented as an integrated way to prototype maps, expand ideas, and produce exportable articles while staying compatible with standard markdown imports.

You’ll Learn

• How to prompt ChatGPT to output structured markdown suitable for importing into Xmind.

• How to import markdown into Xmind and turn text outlines into a functioning mind map.

• How to use Xmind Copilot one-liner, Inspire Me, and expand branch features to grow a map interactively.

• How to generate article content from a mind map using Copilot’s Generate Article option.

• How to create and attach AI images using Adobe Firefly, Microsoft Bing Image Creator, and Microsoft Designer.

Workflow at a Glance

• Write a prompt in ChatGPT or Xmind Copilot to describe the map (example: SWOT for a small restaurant).

• Copy ChatGPT output and save as markdown, or export web content to markdown using the Markdown Web Clipper.

• Import the markdown into Xmind to generate the initial map structure.

• Use Xmind Copilot to expand branches, click Inspire Me or Expand on a node, then Generate Article when ready.

Pro Tips

• Use short, focused prompts in Xmind Copilot for better initial results; longer, iterative prompts work well in ChatGPT.

• Prefer ChatGPT-4 when you need fresher or more accurate market research output.

• Save maps as the explained file format when you want to preserve relationships, images, and other rich content.

• Use Perplexity.ai or Bing Chat to cross-check sources and improve factual accuracy.
