Org charts with AI
OpenCharts is an AI org-chart builder that turns a CSV roster, PDF directory, or plain-text description into a fully editable hierarchy in seconds. Theo identifies people, titles, and reporting lines, applies a clean layered or radial layout, and supports photos, role colors, and grouping by team. Export to PNG, SVG, PDF, PPTX, DOCX, or share a live link with real-time multiplayer editing.

Frequently asked questions
What CSV format does OpenCharts expect?
A simple CSV with at least name, title, and manager_email (or manager_name) columns works. Optional columns: team, photo_url, location, start_date.
Can I add headshots?
Yes. Include photo_url in the CSV or drag images onto nodes. The org chart node type supports a circular avatar slot per person.
How big can the chart get?
Charts of 1,000+ nodes work well. For very large orgs, switch to layered layout with collapsible groups so viewers can focus on a department at a time.
Can the chart stay in sync with my HRIS?
Direct HRIS integrations are on the roadmap. Today, re-upload an updated CSV to refresh the chart, or use the public MCP server to programmatically update nodes from your AI agents.
Is this free?
Yes. Org chart generation, themes, and export are included on every plan, including the free tier.
