M365 Copilot can generate a static mindmap and an HTML file for an interactive mindmap

 TOOL: M365 Copilot - desktop, or website

WHAT I UPLOADED:

OUTPUT 1:

I then went to POE's app creator, uploaded the HTML file, and asked it to generate an interactive mindmap.

Of course, Copilot had offered to create a file which, when imported into mindmapping apps like MindMeister, Miro, or Coggle, would result in a fully interactive mindmap.
