NotebookLM, now called Gemini Notebook, can turn your sources into a mind map you can explore. Mindmapi.ai is built for revision: mind maps you can fully edit, notes on every topic, and AI answers saved straight into your map.
Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook in July 2026. The tool and its Mind Map feature work the same way under the new name, so everything on this page applies to both.
Gemini Notebook is a strong research tool, and its mind maps are a quick way to see what your sources cover. You can expand and collapse the branches and select a topic to ask about it, but you can't edit the map: to change it, you generate a new one. If you want a mind map you can shape into your own revision notes, that is where Mindmapi.ai is different.

Gemini Notebook (NotebookLM): Yes, from the sources in your notebook

Gemini Notebook (NotebookLM): Expand and collapse branches; to change the map, generate a new one
Mindmapi.ai: Yes: write your own, or generate them with AI
Gemini Notebook (NotebookLM): Topic labels only; explanations appear in the chat

Gemini Notebook details checked in October 2026 against Google's help page, Use Mind Maps in Gemini Notebook.
Upload the same PDFs, notes, recordings or YouTube links you use in Gemini Notebook.
Mindmapi.ai reads them and builds a structured mind map, with every topic editable straight away.
Reword, rearrange and add topics, ask AI about anything unclear, then export to PDF or Word.
Add, rename, move and delete any topic, so the map ends up matching how you think about the subject.
Ask AI about a single topic and the answer is saved into that topic's notes, ready for your next revision session.
Start a live session and edit the same map together in real time.
Mindmapi.ai runs in your phone's browser, so you can review and edit your maps anywhere.
If you are researching across many sources and want answers with citations back to the exact passage, Gemini Notebook is excellent at that, and its audio overviews are a handy way to listen to a summary.
Many students use both: research in Gemini Notebook, then build the revision map in Mindmapi.ai from the same PDFs and notes, where it can be edited, annotated and printed.
Yes. Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook in July 2026. The features, including Mind Maps, stayed the same, and old NotebookLM links redirect to the new name.
Not within the tool. In Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM, you can expand and collapse branches and select a topic to ask about it, but to change the map you delete it and generate a new one. Mindmapi.ai mind maps are fully editable.
Gemini Notebook lets you download the mind map as an image from its Mind Map window. If you want an editable map with notes that you can export to PDF or Word, you can build one in Mindmapi.ai from the same sources.
Google says the Gemini Notebook mobile app doesn't support Mind Maps. Mindmapi.ai works in your phone's browser, so you can review and edit maps on the go.
Yes for PDF, Word and text files, typed notes, MP3 recordings and YouTube links. Audio and YouTube sources are part of Pro.
Yes, you can start for free with one AI-generated mind map and as many maps built by hand as you like. Pro costs £5.99 a month and gives you 30 AI-generated mind maps per billing period.
