Reading and annotating
How to read PDFs, EPUBs and slides in MindMax, highlight and comment, ask about a passage or a boxed region, and follow a citation back to its page.
Having a document annotated by AI
Pick a lens â guide, critique or study â or start a review, and the AI annotates a whole PDF, book, deck or note, then writes up what it found.
Asking questions about your documents
Ask MindMax about one document or a whole folder, narrow what it reads, ask about a boxed region of a page, and check the verbatim quotes that come back.
Searching your folder
Search inside every PDF, book, Office file and note in a folder at once â literal and ranked results side by side, operators like path and tag, and the AI re-pick.
Handing the assistant a long job
How to give MindMax Agent a job that takes many steps, approve its plan, watch progress, pause and resume it, and find the files it produces in your folder.
Thinking on the canvas
Use the MindMax canvas as an AI mind map â spread a question out with thinking-model skills, lay a book out beside you, cut what fails, keep the rest.
Writing in the editor
A full-format editor with tables, callouts, math, diagrams and properties, saved as plain Markdown â and an AI at the cursor whose edits arrive as tracked changes.
Reviewing and revising with AI
Revise a whole document with AI from a request or your own comments, review the edits group by group, and write them back â Word files as Word tracked changes.
Writing a long document
Have a report, thesis chapter or book drafted from your own sources â approve the outline, judge a sample, follow the chapters, then revise and export.
Voice and quick notes
Catch a thought by voice or typing from any app with one shortcut, save it to today's note as-is, or have the AI file it under the right heading.
Translating a document
Translate a whole book or long document with one glossary â read the brief, fix terms before anything is translated, compare side by side, resume a paused run.
Recognising scanned PDFs
Turn a scanned PDF into searchable, quotable text in MindMax â start recognition, read the per-page quality report, and re-run only the pages that came out badly.
Exporting to Word, PDF or images
Export a note or AI draft to Word, PDF or image cards with real tables, editable equations and numbered sources â including answers pasted from ChatGPT.
Using and writing skills
Use built-in AI skills with / in chat, on canvas cards and in the editor, copy and edit them, write your own with /new-skill, and share or import a SKILL.md file.
History and memory
Compare and restore earlier versions of a document from MindMax's version history, and read, edit or switch off what the assistant remembers about you.
