AI Features

GenogramAI uses advanced AI to help you create and modify genograms using natural language. Describe your family in plain English, upload hand-drawn sketches, or give editing commands to update existing diagrams.

Text to Genogram

Describe your family structure in natural language and watch as AI creates the complete genogram with all relationships, dates, and attributes.

"John Smith (1960-2020) married Mary Kim (1965). They had two children: David (1990) who has diabetes, and Sarah (1993), a doctor. John and Mary have a close relationship."

Creates 4 people with marriage, birth/death dates, medical condition (4-quadrant system), occupation, and emotional overlay

"Tom and Lisa are divorced. Tom remarried Susan. Tom has a son Mike from his first marriage. Lisa and Mike are estranged."

Creates 4 people with divorce/remarriage, child connections, and emotional relationships

"The Garcia family: Maria (grandmother, Mexican heritage, Catholic) had 3 children. Twin boys Carlos and Pedro (identical), and daughter Ana who was adopted."

Creates family with cultural heritage, religious indicators, twin support, and adopted child connection

"James (gay, nonbinary) is in a life partnership with Alex. They have a surrogate child named Riley."

Creates family with sexual orientation, gender identity, life partner relationship, and surrogate child connection

Tips for Better Results

• Specify relationships: "married", "divorced", "separated", "cohabiting", "engaged"
• Add child types: "adopted", "foster", "step", "surrogate", "sperm/egg donor"
• Describe emotional bonds: "close", "distant", "hostile", "estranged", "fused"
• Include gender/orientation: "nonbinary", "transgender", "gay", "bisexual"
• Use heritage patterns: "Mexican heritage with diagonal pattern"
• Specify twins: "identical twins" or "fraternal twins"
