Generate diagrams with AI from a text description
Write the process as if you were telling a colleague, and FlowBoard draws it on the board: each box with its shape, labeled arrows, and everything arranged in layers, ready to edit.
Describing a process in words takes two minutes. Drawing it box by box takes half an hour. This does the second starting from the first.
FlowBoard is the infinite whiteboard with diagrams from AIsToHire, and AI generation is its shortest shortcut. Instead of dragging shapes one by one, you open the 'AI Assistant' menu, stay on the 'Diagram' tab, and write what you want to see: 'customer onboarding process with document validation and approval.' You can fit up to 4,000 characters, so you can paste the entire procedure instead of summarizing it. The AI responds with a diagram in Mermaid syntax, and you don't see that code: FlowBoard interprets it and paints it as real elements on the board, up to 25 nodes per generation.
The translation respects the semantics of the diagram. The interpreter recognizes ten types of nodes —rectangle, rounded rectangle, circle, decision diamond, hexagon, input/output parallelogram, document, storage cylinder, predefined process, and start/end terminator—and six types of links: simple arrow, line without tip, dotted, thick, bidirectional, and circle ending. The labels on the arrows ('Yes', 'No', the condition) come written, just like the chains of the type A→B→C and the branches to multiple destinations. What is not drawing —styles, classes, comments— is silently discarded instead of breaking the import.
Where the work shows is in the placement, which is what usually ends up cluttered in other generators. FlowBoard distributes the nodes in layers along the longest path from the roots, detects cycles with a depth-first traversal so that a retry loop doesn't crush the drawing, performs a centroid pass to minimize the number of crossed arrows, and leaves 110 px between layers and 70 px between siblings; the width of each box adapts to its text up to a maximum of 320 px. The arrows are not loose lines on the canvas: each end is anchored to a specific element —exit below, entry above, and from the side when the edge comes back— with right-angle tracing, so as soon as you move a box, the arrow follows it.
The diagram appears to the right of whatever was already on the board, without overlapping it, arrives selected, and the canvas frames itself around it; if you're not convinced, Ctrl+Z and it's gone. From there, it's a normal FlowBoard diagram: change the shape of a box while keeping its text and arrows, rewrite labels, switch the tracing to straight or curved, bend the line wherever you want, apply 'Reorganize Automatically', and export to PNG, SVG, PDF, JSON, or Mermaid, with autosave and version history in the background. The AI writes in the language of your account and consumes tokens from your balance, and it's good to know what it doesn't do: it draws a new diagram each time, it doesn't rewrite the one you already have on screen.
Ventajas de Diagrams with AI
From a sentence to a whole diagram
you describe the process in natural language —up to 4,000 characters— and receive up to 25 already connected nodes, without touching the shape bar.
Shapes with meaning, not all the same boxes
diamond for decisions, terminator for start and end, cylinder for storage, parallelogram for inputs and outputs, document, hexagon, circle, and predefined process.
Calculated layer placement, not random
nodes are distributed along the longest path from the roots, with a centroid pass that reduces arrow crossings and 110 px between layers and 70 px between siblings.
Truly anchored arrows
each end hooks to an element with right-angle tracing, so you move a box and the arrow follows; the labels 'Yes' and 'No' come already written.
Loops don't misalign the drawing
back edges are detected with a depth-first traversal and exit from the side, so a retry or a backward turn doesn't crush the layers.
Arrives selected and framed
the diagram is inserted next to what you already had without overlapping it, the canvas zooms in on it, and a Ctrl+Z undoes the entire insertion if it doesn't work for you.
In your language
the AI writes labels in the language of your account, the same one you use for the app, without going through English.
An editable draft, not a closed image
what appears are normal FlowBoard elements and connectors, with shape change, automatic reorganization, and export to PNG, SVG, PDF, JSON, and Mermaid.
