The Evolution of Mind Mapping: From HeadCASE to AI

Back in 2007, HeadCASE introduced:

  • Curved, organic branches
  • “Evolutionary” clip art
  • Word-processor and web export

By 2015, the rise of online tools (MindMeister, Coggle) made installs obsolete. Now in 2025, AI takes the next leap:

  • Auto-branching from raw text
  • Smart summaries & keywords
  • Cross-document linking

In this post, we trace that journey—and show you how to get started with MindMap AI’s free tier.
