The Modern Upgrade
from GenoSM
GenoSM has basic genogram features for social work, but it's showing its age. GenogramAI brings AI generation, a modern interface, medical quadrants, and 48 relationship types—everything GenoSM is missing.
Same Domain, Different Generation
Both tools are built for genograms—but GenogramAI brings modern capabilities GenoSM doesn't have.
What GenoSM Offers
- Basic genogram creation
- Simple social work documentation
- Web-based access (no install)
- Basic family structure mapping
What GenogramAI Adds
- AI-powered genogram generation
- Medical history tracking
- 48 emotional relationship types
- Modern, intuitive interface
Where GenoSM Falls Short
GenoSM was built for basic genograms. Modern clinical practice demands more.
No AI Features
GenoSM requires you to manually place every person, draw every line, and enter every detail. There's no AI assistance to speed up the process. Building a three-generation genogram takes significant time.
What takes 5 minutes with GenogramAI's AI takes 30-45 minutes of manual work in GenoSM.
Dated Interface
GenoSM's interface feels like it belongs in the early 2010s. The design is cluttered, the navigation is unintuitive, and it lacks the modern visual polish that makes professional work pleasant.
First-time users often struggle to find basic features. The learning curve is steeper than it needs to be.
Limited Relationship Types
GenoSM offers basic relationship connections but doesn't support the full range of emotional relationship types that clinical practice demands. No fused-hostile, no enmeshed, no cutoff with reconnection.
GenogramAI offers 48 relationship types. GenoSM covers only a fraction of what therapists need to document.
No Medical Quadrants or Cultural Patterns
GenoSM lacks medical quadrant notation for tracking hereditary conditions and doesn't support cultural heritage patterns. Two essential features for comprehensive clinical genograms are simply missing.
Tracking heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and mental health across generations? You'll need a separate system.
Build Genograms in Seconds, Not Hours
GenoSM requires you to manually place every person and draw every relationship line. GenogramAI's AI does the heavy lifting.
Just describe your family:
"Three generations. Grandparents married 50 years. Two children, one divorced with two kids. History of heart disease on father's side, depression on mother's side."
