Gemini Alchemy

Mind mapping is an enduringly popular way to record, organize, and present information. LLMs like Gemini can quickly surface structure inside complex ideas, but translating that structure into a beautiful mindmap is still painful. Gemini Alchemy closes that gap. Abstract ideas in, visually coherent mindmaps out.

What I Built

• FastAPI backend that wraps Gemini and exposes a clean endpoint for concept-to-mindmap transformation.
• Streamlit frontend for the interactive experience. Paste an idea, tweak prompts, iterate on the map in real time.
• Layout and styling heuristics so the generated mindmaps look intentional rather than auto-generated.

Why It’s Useful

• Lower friction than hand-drawn tools: You get a first draft in seconds instead of fiddling with canvases.
• Better aesthetics than generic LLM output: The rendering layer handles hierarchy, spacing, and visual weight.
