Mindmap

The Mindmap page renders an interactive visualization of the entities and relationships in a brain. The route stays /knowledge-graph, but the UI label is Mindmap. The graph is embedded from the /v1/visualize endpoint and rendered in dark mode. At the top of the page you have a brain selector, a processing-status pill, and a Refresh button. Only the graph view is shown — the visualization view tabs are hidden.

Using the visualization

  1. Select a brain from the brain selector at the top.
  2. The graph loads as an interactive node-link diagram.
  3. Drag nodes to rearrange the layout.
  4. Zoom in and out with the scroll wheel.
  5. Hover over a node to see its label and type.
  6. Click Refresh to reload the latest graph data.
Nodes represent entities extracted during cognify. Edges represent relationships between them.

Status pill

The status pill reflects the processing state of the selected brain:

Empty states

If you have no brains yet, the page shows a No brains yet state with a Go to Datasets link to the Brains page. If a brain exists but has no graph data, upload to the brain, then configure extraction and Re-process from the Memory Schema page to (re)build its memory.
The graph-extraction config and Re-process action live on the Memory Schema page, where you define how Cognee extracts knowledge from a brain — the extraction model, prompt, and ontology.
For programmatic access to graph data, use the visualize endpoint or generate visualizations in code — see Graph Visualization.
