II·ENGINES

32 engines, one chat.

Specialist engines (•) draw the diagrams competitors can't — typed grammars, standards-compliant output. General engines (·) cover the day-to-day flowcharts, mindmaps, and timelines.

III·VS THE DEFAULTS

The diagrams ChatGPT can't draw.

Generic AI gives you ASCII art. Mermaid gives you a flowchart. We give you the diagram a clinician, an inspector, or an investor will accept.

IV·WHY TYPED

Routed. Validated. Engineered.

A typed pipeline beats a hopeful prompt. Three things every diagram goes through before you see it.

Routed automatically

Your description picks the engine.

A circuit goes to schematex-circuit. A sequence goes to mermaid-sequence. A mindmap goes to markmap. You don't pick the syntax — we route by intent and serve the right grammar to the model.

Validated server-side

No broken renders ever leave the server.

If a generated DSL fails to parse, we retry server-side until it's clean. The user only sees the final, valid render — never a stack trace, never a half-drawn box, never a malformed arrow.

Engineered for precision

Each diagram type has its own grammar.

32 typed engines means each diagram type has a maintained DSL with first-class error messages — not a single general-purpose AI guessing syntax. Schematex covers the diagrams nobody else can draw.

V·FROM THE FIELD

What people draw with it.

Paraphrased from real sessions — engineering proposals, clinical assessments, B2B teams replacing tools that couldn't keep up.

“Our electrical engineers are always too busy. I needed an SLD for a customer proposal — drafted it in ten minutes.”

B2B · SALES CONSULTANT · INFRASTRUCTURE

“Our BI tool couldn’t make a bubble matrix for license × usage. Yours did.”

B2B · BI ANALYST · ED-TECH, NL

“Replacing SolidWorks for preliminary P&IDs. The hydraulic schematics are surprisingly good.”

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER · ES

“Drafted a clinical genogram for a case assessment. Saved me thirty minutes of manual layout.”

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY · STUDENT
VI · NOTE

A diagram is a contract. Every line, every arrow, every label is a claim about the system. A typed grammar is the only way to keep that claim honest.

VII·FAQ

Common questions.

What kinds of diagrams can ChatDiagram render?01
32 typed engines covering electrical (single-line diagrams, panels, circuits, PCBs), industrial (P&IDs, hydraulic schematics), clinical and genealogy (genograms, pedigrees, ecomaps, family trees), software (full UML — class, sequence, use case, activity, state), project and process (AON, PERT, Gane-Sarson DFD, flowcharts), social and educational (sociograms, food webs), plus decision trees, fishbone, org charts, and more.
Does it work for floor plans, interior design, or architectural layouts?02
No — that's not what we render. ChatDiagram is built for technical and specialty diagrams, not spatial or architectural design. For floor plans, try Floorplanner, RoomSketcher, or Canva.
How is this different from ChatGPT or Mermaid?03
ChatGPT gives you ASCII sketches; Mermaid gives you a generic flowchart. ChatDiagram routes your description to a typed grammar (IEEE 315 for SLDs, NSGC for pedigrees, ISA-5.1 for P&IDs, etc.), then validates the output server-side before you see it. The diagrams a clinician, an inspector, or an investor will accept.
What's the input — describe in plain English, or drop a file?04
Both. Describe your diagram in any language, paste a spec, drop a PDF, paste or upload an image, or paste code or data. The AI extracts the structure and renders it via the right engine for your discipline.
Do I need to sign up? What does it cost?05
No signup to start. Free tier renders the day-to-day diagrams. Pro unlocks the typed Schematex engines and removes daily limits. International cards supported.
