Enter a topic and get a learning mind map generated by an LLM with links to learn more about each subtopic.

You can use it with local models (through Ollama) or external models.

If you have any feedback, please share it! Hope it's useful

How do you generate / validate the links to learn more? If they're generated by the LLM there's a really high chance they are hallucinated and won't work.

to be quite honest, I don't, just manually tested with different topics and got working links almost every time but agree, that can definitely happen

You could have a second automatic step that searches the web for the title of the link and validates it or gets the correct one.

Cool project!

good idea, I'll add that to the improvements list, thanks!

But with the amount of AI generated content on the web, in a year or two (or maybe less) surely this method will fail dramatically?
