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

 TOOL: M365 Copilot - desktop, or website

WHAT I UPLOADED: 

- CUM6007 S1 Workflowy rundown saved as PPT-outline WORD file. (I did not purposely prepare this file for the test-drive. So the content is not systematically organised.

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.
