5 Whys Maker

How it works

State the problem

Describe the issue clearly — what happened, when, and what the observable effect is. No need to know the cause yet.

AI asks why five times

MyMap walks through five levels of causal analysis — each 'why' digging deeper — and renders the chain as a visual diagram.

Fix the root cause

Ask AI to suggest countermeasures for the root cause, explore an alternative causal chain, or generate a corrective action plan.

Built different

AI that doesn't just chat — it sees, creates, and streams on your canvas.

Context-aware AI

AI that sees your whole canvas

AI understands node positions, connections, and neighbors — not just raw text. Select a node and it knows what's nearby, what's linked, and how to build on it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 5 Whys maker free?

Yes — free to use without signing up. Free accounts include a generous number of AI messages per month. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited analyses.

Does it always ask exactly 5 whys?

The '5' in 5 Whys is a guideline, not a rule. AI stops when it reaches a root cause, which may take 3 iterations or 7. The goal is depth, not a fixed number.

When should I use 5 Whys vs a full root cause analysis?

5 Whys is best for problems with a single clear causal chain — a specific failure, defect, or incident. Full root cause analysis (fishbone/Ishikawa) is better for complex problems with multiple contributing factors across different categories.
