What is Midmap?
Organize information on a clear canvas, work with your agent around specific topics, and review changes round by round.
What is Midmap for?
Midmap is an information canvas for working with your agent.
Use it to ask your agent to:
- Turn an idea or question into a clear topic structure.
- Organize research, analysis, and interim conclusions under the right topics so you can find them and keep moving.
- Make a plan and break a goal into actionable steps.
- Explore design ideas and compare different directions.
- Iterate on work in progress, such as generating an image and then discussing and refining it.
Work with your agent
Midmap includes an MCP service that connects to the agent apps you already use.
Once connected, you can call on Midmap from an existing conversation and ask your agent to organize, discuss, or update information on your canvas.
Ask your agent to add information from a conversation to the canvas, summarize a discussion, or update existing content.
Midmap also offers the Midmap Skill, which is optional to install. Once installed, use /midmap in an agent conversation to start common tasks, such as creating a board or organizing information.
For more ways to work with agents, see Agent collaboration.
Organize information with boards and nodes
A board is a space for organizing information, and each node represents a topic or item. Parent and child nodes form a hierarchy, so you can expand a broad subject and see how its parts relate.
Nodes can hold more than a title. Add a Markdown description, a to-do, a marker, an image, or a link to keep related details and progress with the right topic.
To make information easier to browse, Midmap offers:
- Automatic layouts: Switch between vertical, horizontal, and document layouts to arrange the canvas.
- Pan and zoom: Drag the canvas to move around, and zoom in or out to see details or the whole board.
- Collapse content: Hide node details or branches you do not need right now. This does not change the information hierarchy.
See what your agent changed
Midmap records each update an agent makes to a board, so you can see when it was active, what it changed, and why:
- View activity: See the names, statuses, and most recent activity times of agents that interacted with the board.
- Understand each operation: Notices explain what changed and show operation types and counts. They also report failed operations.
- Review each round: Added, updated, and removed nodes are marked. Review the changes, then keep or undo the round.
You can connect multiple agent apps. Midmap records each app’s operations separately, so you can tell their activity and changes apart.
About your data
Midmap is a local desktop app. All your board data stays on your computer and is not uploaded to Midmap servers.
