Turn PDF Highlights Into a Mind Map (1-Click Demo)
Turn PDF highlights into a mind map. One click. Watch your scattered annotations come alive as a knowledge graph that shows what you actually think.
If you've highlighted hundreds of pages across dozens of PDFs, you know the problem. Every insight you collect is locked inside the document where you found it. You can search. You can scroll. But you can't see the shape of what you've learned.
Highlyt fixes that.
In this demo, we open a real document with linked highlights and click the Knowledge Graph button. The force-directed canvas reveals every highlight as a node and every connection you've made as a labeled edge. Hover an edge to see the relationship: supports, contradicts, expands, questions. Hover a node to read the highlight without leaving the canvas. Double-click any cluster to dive into a sub-graph of just that theme.
This is what your reading actually looks like once it's connected. Not a list. Not a folder. A map.
