Connect the dots. Open any Trueffle for the full picture and access notes, images, sources, links. Big picture and deep detail in one place.
Create overviews and fill in details: Create mind maps by literally connecting the dots and finally understanding the big picture. Add more informations like text, links, files, souces and more to every element on your map.
Let AI extend your map,
not replace your thinking.

T.A.I., your AI research assistant, helps you generate new maps, find sources, images and videos for every Trueffle and spots what's still missing. Using AI is fully optional.

Active thinking, not passive consumption
A chatbot gives you an answer. A map gives you understanding.
T.A.I. does the legwork, you decide what matters. You see the whole topic at once, spot the gaps others miss and end up with work that's unmistakably yours. A few minutes of thinking now pays back in hours: you'll understand faster and stop losing the thread.

Your Questions Answered
Isn’t it just a mind map?
No. Mind maps sketch ideas. Trueffles maps the actual research. Every node can hold details, notes, files and sources not just a keyword. And there is much more to explore.
How is this different from Notion, Miro and Obsidian?
Notion is great for documents, Miro for whiteboards, and Obsidian for personal knowledge management. Trueffles is built for thinking. Instead of organizing information in pages, canvases, or folders, Trueffles helps you visually connect ideas, discover relationships, and develop thoughts as they evolve. It combines the clarity of mind mapping with AI-powered exploration, so a rough idea grows into a structured understanding, one connection at a time. Think less "where should I store this?" and more "how does this connect?"
Isn't ChatGPT enough?
ChatGPT gives you answers. Trueffles helps you understand them. Use AI to gather and expand, then see on one map how everything connects, what's missing and what actually matters. The insight stays yours.
What can I actually use it for?
Trueffles helps you think through ideas, research topics, and turn scattered information into structured understanding. For everyone – Brainstorm ideas and projects – Explore complex topics visually – Organize knowledge and insights – Break down problems into manageable parts – Plan strategies, goals, and decisions For writers – Develop article and book outlines – Connect themes, arguments, and story ideas – Structure long-form content before writing – Overcome writer's block by exploring related concepts – Embed interactive maps alongside books or articles so readers can explore relationships and context For journalists – Research topics from multiple angles – Map connections between people, events, and sources – Organize interview notes and findings – Build clearer narratives from complex information – Embed interactive maps in articles to increase engagement and help readers explore complex stories For students – Understand difficult subjects faster – Create visual study maps for exams – Connect concepts across courses and disciplines – Turn notes into structured knowledge For researchers, founders, consultants, and curious minds – Explore new markets and opportunities – Structure research projects – Develop business strategies and roadmaps – Make sense of large amounts of information If you're trying to understand, develop, or communicate an idea, Trueffles can help.
Do I need any mind-mapping experience?
Getting started is simple: enter a topic, question or idea. The real value shows up after your first few trueffles, when connections start to appear that you hadn't seen before. Start small, one thought is enough.
What are T.A.I. Credits?
T.A.I. stands for Trueffles AI – the magic that turns your scattered thoughts into visual maps. Every time you ask Trueffles to generate, expand, or refine a map, it uses a handful of credits. Think of them as the fuel for your AI-powered explorations. A simple map costs around 15 credits; a large, complex one can use up to 90. The richer the map, the more thinking the AI does – so your credits stretch further on focused topics than on sprawling ones.
Is my data secure?
Yes, all of your (and our) data is safely stored on EU servers.
