GenogramAI features

Professional-grade AI tools for genograms and eco-maps, designed for therapists, social workers, genealogists, and researchers.
Updated October 2026

Quick answer

GenogramAI is a genogram and eco-map maker that runs in the browser. Its main features are building a genogram from a plain-text description with AI, editing it by chat, 64 relationship types, medical, cultural and other data views, and PNG export on the free plan, with GEDCOM and GenoPro import, PDF, SVG, photo import and Clinical Mode on paid plans.

What can the AI do?

Several ways to create and change genograms with AI. You always review and edit the result.

Text to genogram

Describe your family in natural language. AI extracts people, relationships, medical conditions, heritage, and more.“John Smith (1960-2020) married Mary Kim (1965). They had two children: David (1990) and Sarah (1993)...”

Chat edits ("Ask AI")

Modify an existing genogram with plain-language requests, one change at a time.“Add a sister to John named Jane, born 1965. Mark her as having diabetes.”

Import from a photo

Upload a photo or scan of an existing genogram or hand-drawn sketch. AI reads the shapes, connection lines, and text labels and rebuilds them as an editable chart. Professional and Clinical plans.

AI eco-maps

Describe a client’s situation and get a draft eco-map with systems, line styles and energy flow. Uses AI credits.

AI Architect & Insights

Build from longer descriptions or images in the AI Architect, and get AI Insights on a finished genogram. Professional and Clinical plans.

AI credits

Free: 5 AI credits a month, shared between genograms and eco-maps. Professional and Clinical: unlimited AI.

Which AI model?

GenogramAI uses current large language models and switches between them as they improve, so we describe the feature rather than a model name. In Clinical Mode, names are replaced with placeholders before an AI request leaves the browser.

The dashboard

Since October 2026 the dashboard is a workspace with a sidebar: Home, All files, Genograms, Ecomaps, Freeform, Folders, On this device (Clinical) and Trash.

Start New

Pick the Genogram, Ecomap or Freeform tab, then one of the cards: Blank Genogram, Create with AI, Import with AI, or Import (GEDCOM, GenoPro, Gramps, CSV & more).

Folders

Create folders with the + next to Folders, then drag files onto them. Deleting a folder keeps its files.

Interactive canvas

Built with the same vector engine technology used by modern design tools. Smooth, precise, and infinitely scalable.

Infinite canvas

Pan and zoom freely. Your genogram can grow as large as your family history requires.

Vector precision

Every line and shape is a vector, so charts stay sharp when zoomed, printed or exported.

Quick-add system

Select any person to reveal quick-add buttons for parents, partners, and children.

Smart snapping

Automatic alignment guides and snap-to-grid keep your genogram organized.

Connection handles

Drag from connection points to create relationships between any two people.

Keyboard shortcuts

Full keyboard navigation with shortcuts for every tool and action.

Eco-maps and Freeform documents

Eco-maps

Map a person or household and the systems around them with standard eco-map line styles and energy-flow arrows. Build by hand, from text with AI, or from a photo (Professional and Clinical). About the ecomap maker.

Freeform (beta)

A canvas where you define your own notation: describe rules like "purple dashed means estranged" and the AI applies them, with a custom key. Professional and Clinical plans.

Clinical Mode and security

Clinical Mode

Clinical plan. Genograms are saved only on your device, encrypted with a key created on the device, and names are replaced with placeholders in AI requests. Clinical eco-maps stay on the device too.

Zero-knowledge encryption

AES-256-GCM encryption where the key never leaves your device, so we cannot read Clinical Mode files. Clinical plan.

Encrypted cloud storage

Outside Clinical Mode, genograms sync to encrypted cloud storage so you can open them on any device.

Research view

Cite a source for every fact; unproven facts fade and conflicts are flagged. Clinical plan. Learn more.

Frequently asked questions

How does GenogramAI's AI generation work?

Describe the family in plain text, including names, dates, relationships, and medical conditions, and the AI builds a complete genogram in seconds. You can then ask the AI for changes one at a time in the chat. On the Professional and Clinical plans you can also upload a photo or scan of a hand-drawn genogram and the AI turns it into an editable chart.

What relationship types does GenogramAI support?

GenogramAI supports 64 relationship types: 18 partnership types (marriage, divorce, cohabitation, engagement, etc.), 39 emotional relationship types (close, conflict, fused, distant, abuse types, etc.), and 7 child connection types (biological, adopted, foster, step, surrogate, sperm donor, egg donor).

What are the view layers in GenogramAI?

The Views menu has 9 layers you can switch on and off: Cultural heritage (fill patterns), Medical (classic or quadrant shading), Social class, Religion, Education, Location, Custom colours, Backgrounds and Households. There is also a Time view with a year slider and a Present mode. Emotional relationship lines are always shown.

Is GenogramAI free to use?

Yes. The free plan includes 2 genograms, 5 AI credits a month (shared with eco-maps), all 64 relationship types, medical quadrants and PNG export, with no card required. Professional ($12/month) adds up to 25 projects, unlimited AI, photo import and PDF/SVG/GEDCOM export; Clinical ($29/month) adds Clinical Mode, zero-knowledge encryption and the Mac desktop app.

Can I import GEDCOM files into GenogramAI?

Yes. GenogramAI imports GEDCOM (.ged) files from family tree software like Ancestry, MyHeritage, and FamilySearch, as well as GenoPro, Gramps, RootsMagic and CSV spreadsheets (Professional and Clinical plans). The imported tree is laid out as a new genogram, and you can add emotional relationships and medical information afterwards.

Does GenogramAI make eco-maps too?

Yes. From the dashboard choose Start New and the Ecomap tab to build an eco-map by hand or from a typed description with AI. AI eco-maps use the same AI credits as genograms. Importing an eco-map from a photo is a Professional and Clinical feature.

Is there a desktop app?

A native macOS desktop app is included with the Clinical plan. A Windows desktop app is coming soon but is not available yet; on Windows, Chromebook and iPad, GenogramAI runs in the browser.
