Create Mind Maps in Any Language


You can now pick the language you want to use when generating a mind map. Set your preferred language and Heuristica will create nodes, expansions, and follow-up suggestions in that language.

Edit Mind Maps in Outline Mode


Mind maps now have an outline view that lets you edit the entire structure as plain text. Add new nodes, remove existing ones, or rearrange branches by changing lines and indentation, then switch back to the visual view to see your edits reflected in the map.

Create Study Materials from Your Mind Maps


You can now generate study materials straight from a mind map. Pick a node or the full map and turn it into flashcards, quizzes, or other decks without leaving the editor.

More Ways to Expand a Mind Map


When you expand a node with AI, you can now choose the kind of expansion you want. Pick Topics for related subtopics, Ideas for fresh angles on the subject, or Questions to surface things worth exploring further.

Generate Mind Maps from Your Content


Mind Maps are a new way to learn from your saved content. Open any resource and pick Create Mind Map from the chat sidebar to turn it into a hierarchical tree of topics and subtopics. You can also start from a blank mind map and grow it with AI. Right-click any node and pick Expand with AI to add child topics, or run Expand on the root for a deeper exploration of the whole subject.

Sync Your Library to a Local Folder


You can now sync your Heuristica library to a local folder on your computer. This keeps a local copy of your study notes, prompts, and other content as markdown files that stay in sync with your library. With your content available locally, you can process it using local AI agents and tools for even more powerful workflows. You can also import and export your content as zip files for backup or transfer.

Improved Concept Map Modals


The content viewer modals for PDFs, Wikipedia articles, and YouTube videos now have a unified and improved action toolbar. You can summarize, extract key takeaways, generate concepts, flashcards, or quizzes directly from the content you are viewing — or highlight a section and run any of these actions on just the selected text.

Introduced a videos page where you can check out how learning from videos works on Heuristica. Browse video summaries, read transcripts, and check out quizzes and flashcards generated from videos.
