User flow diagrams with AI

Use caseBy OpenCharts TeamPublished

OpenCharts is an AI user-flow builder that turns a product description or journey map into an editable user-flow diagram in seconds. Theo identifies screens, actions, decision branches, and edge cases, and lays them out top-to-bottom or left-to-right. Mix screens with whiteboard sketches and notes, collaborate in real time, and export to PNG/SVG/PDF/PPTX for design reviews and product specs.

How it works

  1. 1

    Describe the flow

    Tell Theo the product, the persona, and the goal (‘new user signing up for trial, sees pricing, abandons, comes back via email’).

  2. 2

    Theo builds the flow

    Theo creates a screen-by-screen flow with action nodes, decision branches (yes/no), and edge cases (errors, cancellations).

  3. 3

    Add screen mocks

    Drag screen images onto nodes, attach data tables for analytics events, and group by lifecycle phase.

  4. 4

    Share or export

    Public share link or export to PNG, SVG, PDF, PPTX, DOCX, JSON.

What you get

  • Screen, action, decision, error, and end-state node types
  • Whiteboard mode for freehand wireframes alongside structured flows
  • Templates: signup, checkout, onboarding, subscription cancellation
  • Real-time multiplayer collaboration with cursors and comments
  • Image embeds for screen mockups

Frequently asked questions

Can I attach analytics events to each step?

Yes. Every node supports an attached data table where you can record event names, properties, owner, and notes.

Can I import Figma frames?

Direct Figma integration is on the roadmap. Today, export Figma frames as PNG/SVG and drag them onto user-flow nodes as embedded images.

Is this free?

Yes. User-flow diagrams, themes, real-time collaboration, and export are included on every plan including the free tier.

Can I mix wireframes with the flow?

Yes. Use the whiteboard mode to sketch wireframes alongside structured flow nodes. One-click conversion turns whiteboards into flowcharts and vice versa.

Are there templates?

Yes. The Templates gallery includes signup, checkout, onboarding, subscription cancellation, and SaaS first-run experience flows. All editable and AI-customizable.
