🧭 How to Create AI-Powered Research Maps with Mapthos (2025)
Every question can become a map. With Mapthos, your curiosity transforms into data, and data — into visual stories.
In this short tutorial, we’ll explore two ways to create research maps: a semi-automatic method using ChatGPT and a fully AI-driven mode where Mapthos does everything for you.
✏️ Part 1 — Semi-Automatic Mode: Your First Research Map
This video shows the semi-automatic workflow — perfect for users who want full control over their dataset and narrative.
1. Enter a research topic — for example, “Global renewable energy trends”. 2. Generate a research prompt directly in Mapthos. 3. Paste the prompt into ChatGPT or another LLM to create your dataset. 4. Copy or edit the generated response to fit your vision. 5. Paste it into the Data Window in Mapthos — your map is instantly visualized.
This approach blends human creativity with AI assistance — ideal for journalists, researchers, and analysts who want to craft their story step by step.
⚙️ Part 2 — Fully Automatic Mode: AI Research Maps
In this mode, Mapthos does all the work — from prompt generation to visualization.
1. Enter a topic (for example, “Internet access by country”). 2. Optionally select a region or leave it global. 3. Click Create Map and let AI process your request. 4. Within seconds, you’ll get a ready-to-use, data-driven map.
This is true AI mapping — instant, automated, and powered by natural language. It’s ideal for quick exploration, rapid prototyping, and comparing trends across countries.
🌍 Why both modes matter
The semi-automatic workflow lets you refine and experiment — making it great for research and storytelling. The AI-driven mode is perfect when you need speed, inspiration, or a visual summary in seconds.
Together, they make Mapthos not just a mapping tool, but an AI research studio for the curious mind.
