It's designed to help me build a complete course quickly, which is a huge win for me as I try to move fast or prototype ideas.

Mind map examples made with Coursebox.
Radial maps, concept maps, revision maps, sticky-note brainstorms and hand-drawn sketches. Each one came from a short description of the topic.
Name the topic. It fills in the branches.
Most mind map tools open an empty canvas with one node in the middle and leave the thinking to you. Type "starting an online business" and Coursebox comes back with the branches, the sub-branches and the labels already written.
- Start from a topic, not an empty canvas
- Sub-branches written for you, not just the top level
- Ask for another level of detail and it goes deeper

- Works with PDF, Word and PowerPoint files
- Reuse them anywhere, or add them to a lesson

AI mind map generator questions.
Yes. Create a free Coursebox account and start generating mind maps straight away. No credit card required. You do need an account, so if you want a map without signing up anywhere, a no-signup tool will suit you better.
Type the topic you want to map and say how you want it laid out, for example "break down workplace health and safety into a mind map with six branches". Coursebox works out the branches and sub-branches and draws the whole thing in seconds.
ChatGPT can write a mind map as an indented list, or as code you then render somewhere else. Coursebox gives you the finished image directly, in the layout you asked for.
Generate the map, then insert it into the lesson editor where you want it to appear, the same way you would add any other image. It behaves like a normal image, so you can move it or swap it out later.
Coursebox gives you a finished image rather than an editable canvas, so changes are made by adjusting your description and generating again. If you need to drag branches around by hand afterwards, a canvas tool will suit you better.
You get a high-resolution image file. Download it and use it in a slide deck, a handout or a revision sheet, or add it to a lesson you are building in Coursebox.
