HueHive diagram generator -Mermaid diagrams using ChatGPT

With ChatGPT's assistance, we can effortlessly generate and edit diagrams directly within the chat interface. However, visualizing these diagrams requires copying and pasting the code into the Mermaid editor. Introducing the HueHive diagram generator, your solution to seamless diagram creation and visualization in the chat interface.

Creating Diagrams Using ChatGPT

Visualizing Diagrams in the Chat Screen

  1. One of the problem with ChatGPT is that you can't see the visualization if you are generating diagrams and it becomes hard to iterate without visualization
  2. Second problem is to come up with the prompt to make sure diagram is generated properly. I have seen that without enough context the syntax is incorrect.

Gone are the days of switching between tools or platforms—now, you can seamlessly see your ideas come to life as ChatGPT interprets and renders your Mermaid diagrams in real-time, right there in the conversation.

You can edit the diagrams for smaller changes. Once you have the high level diagram with correct syntax, it becomes lot easy to change diagram to your preference. For more complex changes you follow up with Chat Assistant itself.
