How to generate an org chart

Tips on making an Org Chart

• Use org directories, team pages, or HR docs as source material.
• Ask an LLM to convert raw text or a flat list into a clean nested list, which makes it easier to spot-check structure and relationships before generating the diagram.

1. Write a prompt describing the organizational structure
   A structured list or 3–4 sentence description works well. Use the following framework:

   • Start from the top (e.g. CEO) and list roles or people that report into each role.
   • Clearly define reporting relationships (e.g. “VP of Marketing reports to CEO”).
   • Include titles, names, or both. You can also specify headcount (e.g. “Customer Support – 15 reps”).
   • Group by department or function if relevant.
   • Add formatting preferences if needed–like dashed lines for dotted-line reports or colors for departments.

2. Make a diagram with the completed prompt
   The AI will convert your structure into a top-down org chart.

3. Edit the diagram with follow-up prompts
   (requires signing in to Eraser). Add roles, update labels, or adjust hierarchy.

4. Manually adjust the layout using GUI controls
   (requires signing in to Eraser). Refine spacing, line styles, or grouping as needed.

Frequently asked questions

• Can I edit the generated org chart?
  Yes. Click “Save and Edit Diagram” to open it in Eraser, where you can edit using diagram-as-code syntax or the visual GUI.

• What can I use as a prompt?
  Plain English, a nested list, or a code snippet. You can also paste excerpts from requirements docs, transcripts, or knowledge-base articles.

• Can I use this from an AI agent?
  Yes. Eraser runs an MCP server, so any MCP-compatible client – Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT – can create and edit these diagrams directly. See the MCP catalog for what it exposes.

• Who created this tool?
  The org chart maker was created by the team at Eraser, leveraging frontier AI models. Eraser is an AI tool for technical design and documentation.

• Is it free?
  Generating an org chart is free and requires no sign-up. Sign in to a free Eraser account to edit, save, and export your diagrams.

• Is there an API?
  Yes, you can read our API documentation. The API is only available to Starter, Business, and Enterprise Plan teams.

• Is there an MCP server?
  Yes. The Eraser MCP server lets an agent create, search, read, update and export diagrams from clients like Claude, Cursor, VS Code and ChatGPT. It is free to use, subject to the AI credit limits of your plan.

• Do you use my data to train AI models?
  No. Neither Eraser nor our model providers use your data to train AI models. Eraser may analyze usage to improve and enhance our AI features.
