Generates technical diagrams from natural language or code prompts.

DiagramGPT is an AI-enabled tool that lets you generate technical diagrams from code or plain language prompts.

Powered by OpenAI’s GPT tech, it lets you start quickly by selecting one of the presets, or browse the use case video library for more inspiration. Alternatively, you can start from scratch and generate a new diagram from your data or from a text prompt.

Once created, diagrams can be edited using the diagram-as-code syntax.

At the moment, DiagramGPT supports 4 diagram types, including flow charts, entity relationship diagrams, cloud architecture diagrams, and sequence diagrams.

The tool also offers an API to its paid customers, who also get the option to opt out of sharing their data. DiagramGPT may use it for the purpose of improving the product.
