AI On/Off Toggle 

Take control of when AI supports your thinking. AYOA's new AI On/Off Toggle lets students enable or disable AI tools across their account, giving them the freedom to choose when they want guidance and when they prefer to work independently. Perfect for deep focus sessions, reflective thinking, or assessment contexts where original thought matters.

Large Controls

Small interface elements shouldn't get in the way of big ideas. AYOA's new Large Controls option increases the size of key interface elements, including branch targets, resize handles, and attachment icons, reducing misclicks, eye strain, and physical effort. Ideal for students with visual impairments, dyspraxia, tremors, or fatigue conditions, it removes unnecessary barriers so you can stay focused on thinking and doing, not fighting the interface.

Touchscreen Support

Mind mapping just got more hands-on. AYOA now supports touch-enabled devices, letting students draw, drag, and rearrange mind maps directly with their fingers. For learners with ADHD, dyslexia, or processing differences, this physical, kinesthetic approach boosts engagement and memory, making abstract ideas feel more concrete. Work naturally, the way you would with a whiteboard or sticky notes.

Built-in Video Playback

Keep everything in one place. Videos attached to mind maps, comments, and whiteboards can now be played directly within AYOA, no switching between tabs or tools. Especially valuable for students who rely on multimodal learning, like those with dyslexia or auditory processing differences, built-in playback reduces cognitive load and keeps your focus exactly where it needs to be.
