Mind Mapping Software 'EdrawMind' Evolves into an Interactive AI Workbench, Auto-Generating Mind Maps, Kanban Boards, and Slides from AI Chat

Wondershare Software Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Wu Taibing) announced the release of the latest version of its mind mapping software, 'EdrawMind V13.2.2'. This version features a newly integrated interactive AI chat function. Users can now generate outputs in multiple formats, such as mind maps, kanban boards, and slides, simply by giving instructions through a chat interface, while maintaining the context of the conversation. ■ Background of the Update In recent years, the proliferation of conversational AI like ChatGPT and Gemini has significantly changed user expectations. In business and educational settings, there is a growing interest in environments that allow for the creation of necessary outputs within a context-aware conversation, rather than just one-way instructions and outputs. To meet this change, 'EdrawMind' has evolved from a 'tool for drawing mind maps' into an interactive AI workbench. This new workbench allows users to generate and edit mind maps through conversation and seamlessly expand them into other formats like kanban boards and slides. ■ About the AI Workbench The interactive AI workbench introduced in the 'EdrawMind V13.2.2' update allows users to generate and edit mind maps, kanban boards, and slides while conversing with AI on a single chat screen. This feature has five key characteristics: Multi-turn dialogue: Outputs can be improved through repeated conversations. Context retention: The system retains the content of previous conversations, eliminating the need for repeated explanations. Web search integration: It combines real-time web information to generate responses and outputs. Intent recognition: It accurately understands the user's goals from natural language. Mode judgment: Based on user instructions and conversation context, it generates outputs in the most suitable format, such as mind maps, kanban boards, or slides. This enables a seamless flow from organizing thoughts to completing outputs within the natural flow of a chat conversation. *As of May 2026, this is only supported on the Windows version. ■ Details of New and Enhanced Features The following features have been newly added or enhanced with this update. [New Feature 1] AI Kanban Auto-Generation By simply inputting a project's goals or overview, the AI generates a kanban board organized by phases, tasks, and priorities. The mind map and kanban board are bidirectionally synchronized in real-time. [New Feature 2] AI Analysis of YouTube Videos By pasting a YouTube video URL, users can generate outputs in three formats: a mind map with timestamps, a summary text, and a transcript with timestamps. This makes it easy to reference what was said at which point in the video. [Enhanced Feature 1] AI Mind Map Optimization By pasting text or notes, the AI organizes the content and generates a mind map, supplementing it with images and tables. This update also supports AI auto-generation for various layouts, including fishbone diagrams, timelines, and matrices. [Enhanced Feature 2] Improved Flexibility in AI PowerPoint Generation In addition to the previous method of auto-generating slides from a theme input, this update also supports a workflow where users can edit an outline before selecting a template for generation.
