Create a map in ChatGPT, inspect it in the embedded Because editor, and add your own edits or comments. Use Send feedback to ask ChatGPT to read your changes, reply to comments and revise the map. You can also list saved maps and check their structure. Maps are stored in an anonymous account tied to your browser. Anyone with a map's link can open and edit it. Use the support tool to send feedback to the BecauseAI team when you choose. Argument maps represent reasoning; they do not establish that the claims are true.",
