Chatgpt help to build your flowchart and gantt chart in 3 minutes
Mermaid is an easy-to-use flowchart-generating syntax that can be used to create a variety of diagrams, including Flowcharts, Sequence Diagrams, Gantt Charts, and many more.
To use Mermaid syntax for flowcharts, you can follow these basic steps:
- Start with a chatgpt with following prompt
“please interpret the following process or article and then provide a flowchart for mermaid syntax of flowchart .”
2. you can copy the chatgpt of Mermaid code result to define the flowchart structure, using the appropriate syntax for each element (such as nodes, edges, decision points, and so on). You can find the full Mermaid syntax documentation on the official website as below.
3.Save the file with a .png or .svg extension.
4.Use a Mermaid renderer to convert the Mermaid code into an actual diagram. There are several options available, such as the Mermaid Live Editor, Mermaid CLI, or various plugins for editors like VS Code.
Let’s start it together
Step 1: use chatgpt to change your process into mermaid code
Step 2: Open the mermaid live editor from following link.

Gantt chart Build Example
To use Mermaid syntax for flowcharts, you can follow these basic steps:
- Start from a chatgpt with following prompt
“please change following table into mermaid format of gantt chart
Task Duration
