How to Generate Flowcharts with Claude
Generate flowcharts with Claude and ToolRouter. Visualize any process from a text description.
Tool
Claude builds flowcharts through progressive refinement. Describe the happy path first, then add error handling, edge cases, and parallel branches through follow-up questions. The iterative approach produces production-ready flowcharts that capture the complexity real processes have, not just the idealized version.

Try this with Claude using the Diagram Generator tool
Create a flowchart for our user signup process: user enters email, we check if it exists, if yes show login prompt, if no send verification email, user clicks link, create account, redirect to onboarding.
Tips
