How To Use Docugram

Docugram is a free whiteboard and flowcharting app with AI features for Pro users. This page will guide you through the basic functionalities and features of the app.

Converting a Document to a Flowchart

• How: Once the document is cleared, the create form will appear. You can paste your document or prompt here.
• What can you paste? Docugram works with both notes or outlines (documents) and explicit prompts like "create a diagram of XYZ". Feel free to experiment! If the result isn't satisfactory, please let us know so we can improve the AI.
• Can I use this with PDFs? Yes! You can copy text from your PDF documents and paste it into our flowchart generator from text. Our AI will automatically analyze the content and create a visual flowchart that represents your document's structure and processes.
• Note: You must be signed in to edit.

Do I need to install anything?

No installation required! Docugram is a web-based tool that works entirely in your browser. Just visit our website and start creating flowcharts immediately. For a comprehensive guide on getting started, try it online and see how easy it is to convert text to flowcharts.
