Upload a research paper or YouTube video. Concept maps appear on your screen within seconds. Heuristica turns these visual learning aids into flashcards with one click. Quizzes too. Study notes as well. You're not just chatting with an AI about content — you're building structured knowledge maps that convert into whatever study format you need.

Drop a PDF about quantum mechanics. Watch Heuristica extract the key concepts into an interconnected web. Click once and those same concepts become spaced repetition flashcards. Click again for a quiz. It pulls from academic sources like PubMed and arXiv directly, so a graduate student researching neuroscience can map complex papers without switching between tools.

Free users hit a wall quickly. Just three saved concept maps.

Heuristica connects to multiple AI models. GPT-4o. Claude. Gemini. You can chat with your uploaded documents using any of these models, then instantly convert those conversations into visual maps. YouTube videos become transcript summaries, then concept maps, then whatever study material you prefer.

The 70,000+ learners using Heuristica aren't just highlighting PDFs or asking ChatGPT questions. They're creating visual knowledge structures that morph into different learning formats. Upload a lecture recording, generate the concept map, convert to flashcards, then share with classmates. That workflow doesn't exist elsewhere.

Cross-format conversion happens instantly. Maps become notes become quizzes become essays. Custom prompts let you fine-tune how Heuristica processes your content across Wikipedia, academic databases, and personal documents.

Frequently asked

7 questions
How many concept maps can I save with Heuristica's free plan?
You get three saved maps with the free version. That's it. If you want more, you'll have to upgrade -- which gets expensive fast if you're studying multiple subjects.
Which AI models does Heuristica work with besides ChatGPT?
It's got GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini built in. You can swap between them while working on the same document. Sometimes Claude gives better concept maps, sometimes Gemini handles your specific content better -- depends on what you're working with.
Can Heuristica pull research papers directly from academic databases?
Yep, it grabs stuff from PubMed and arXiv automatically. No manual hunting required. It'll also pull Wikipedia articles and mix them with your personal uploads.
What file formats can I upload to create concept maps?
PDFs work for sure, plus YouTube videos. You can upload lecture recordings too. They don't list every format (which is annoying), but PDFs are definitely the main thing for academic work.
How fast does the conversion work when I turn maps into flashcards or quizzes?
It's instant. One click and you're done -- no waiting around for some slow processing wheel to finish spinning.
Can I customize how Heuristica processes my content?
Yeah, you can use custom prompts to tweak how it handles your stuff. Works with everything -- Wikipedia pulls, database sources, your personal files, whatever.
Is there a way to share the concept maps I create with Heuristica?
The sharing feature's there for working with classmates. Upload your lecture, make the map, convert to flashcards -- then share the whole thing with your study group.
