help… my mindmap app added 27 random bubbles for NO reason 💀

My workflow now to avoid the "27 bubbles" curse:

Write short summary myself (3–5 sentences)
Paste into ai mindmap generator from text (e.g. MindMeister AI or Taskade AI)
Add prompt: "keep it simple: central topic + 5–8 branches only, no deep nesting"
Tweak manually if needed
It takes 5 mins instead of rage-quitting.
Best for exam revision maps.
What’s your max branches limit before it feels overwhelming?

@notes_in_shambles I feel you on the conspiracy board 😂
Another tip: use ChatGPT or Gemini as ai mindmap generator from text — prompt like:
"Convert this text into a simple mindmap structure as numbered list: 1 central idea, 2–6 main branches, 1–2 subpoints each. Use emojis for visual feel."
Then copy the list into Canva mindmap template or draw.io.
Zero random bubbles, full control.
Works great for quick revision maps.
Anyone got a killer prompt that forces AI to stay minimal?
