What you get
- The claim
- What the argument tries to show, in one sentence at the top.
- Three reasons
- Each in its own box under the claim, joined to it by a line marked “because”.
- An objection and the reply
- The strongest point against the claim, set apart in another color, and the answer to it beneath.
What an argument map shows
An argument map is a diagram of the structure of an argument. Boxes hold statements, and lines show which statement supports or opposes which. Courses in critical thinking, philosophy and law use it, because prose hides structure: in an essay, the claim may come last, and a reason and an example may look the same.
When you map an argument you must answer questions that reading lets you skip. Which sentence is the claim? Which statements are reasons for it, and which are only background? Does each reason support the claim by itself, or do two of them work only together? What is the best objection, and does the author answer it?
The map here is made from the text you add, and it states the argument as strongly as its author does and no more. Use it to check your own reading: write down the claim and the reasons you found, and then compare. Where the two differ, go back to the passage. A map also helps before you write, because an essay that answers the mapped objection is stronger than one that does not.
How it works
Say what it is about
Name a topic, or add a PDF, a lecture video, an article or your own notes. With files, the result is written from them.
Winda makes it
The template sets the form, so you do not write a prompt. You choose the model that does the work: Claude, GPT, Gemini and others.
Keep it and change it
The result is saved in your project beside your files and chats. Ask for a change in the chat, or make flashcards and a quiz from the same material.
Questions
Yes. Add the text to a project and name it. The claim, the reasons and the objection are taken from that text.
Yes. Write your position and your reasons in the message. The map shows them in order and adds the strongest objection, which tells you what your essay must answer.
No. The result is a picture, not an editable canvas. To change it, say what to change in the chat, and Winda draws it again from the first one.
Not always. Winda decides the words before it draws and lists them in its reply, so you can check the picture against them. When a word comes out wrong, ask for the picture again.
