Mind maps for product managers
Turn your notes into a mind map
See how one topic hangs together.
A long note about a feature becomes branches you can follow, which is a different pass over the same material than reading a quarter of notes again.
A mind map generated from any note in one step
Or write the outline yourself and Grape draws it, on any plan
Branches follow the structure you already wrote
Zoom around the map on desktop or phone
The map stays attached to the note it came from
Structure you cannot see in prose
Long notes hide their shape. A map puts it back on the surface.
Revision that is not rereading
Walking a map is a different pass over the same material.
Built from your note, not a template
The branches come from what you wrote, in your own words.
Follow one branch at a time
Open the part you are stuck on and leave the rest folded away.
A real map on a small screen
Pan and zoom on the phone instead of squinting at a picture of it.
The map stays with the note
It sits in the note it came from, ready the next time you open it.
Outcomes
Three things that stop living in your head
Not a feature list. What changes when six meetings a day land somewhere that can answer back.
The follow ups are in your head until the next call pushes them out.
Get the follow ups out of the meeting
Record, then ask for what you agreed and who owes what, before the next call starts.
Someone asks why it was built that way and the doc is called Untitled.
Answer why we built it that way
Search by the decision, not the doc title, and get the note that explains it.
Ten customer calls, ten transcripts, and no time to read them.
Turn ten customer calls into one theme
Ask what came up repeatedly across a folder of interviews and get it summarised.
A quarter
What that looks like for product managers
Three points in a planning cycle where the app changes the work.
01
Discovery
Record every call into one folder and let search do the pattern finding.
02
Spec writing
Draft in the note where the research lives and link to the decisions it depends on.
03
Planning
Ask for a summary of everything you captured about an area this quarter.
The rest of the app
What Else Grape Does
Every part of the app is built around the same idea: keep what you write, and hand it back when you need it.
Leave with the notes written.
Customer calls, specs, decisions and the reason behind them in one searchable library, so the context does not live in your head or in a chat thread.
