How to generate an AI Org Chart

Step-by-step guide on generating an Org Chart

  1. Write a prompt describing the organizational structure. A structured list or 3–4 sentence description works well. Use the following framework:
    1. Start from the top (e.g. CEO) and list roles or people that report into each role.
    2. Clearly define reporting relationships (e.g. "VP of Marketing reports to CEO").
    3. Include titles, names, or both. You can also specify headcount (e.g. "Customer Support – 15 reps").
    4. Group by department or function if relevant.
    5. Add formatting preferences if needed—like dashed lines for dotted-line reports or colors for departments.
  2. Generate 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.

Tips on generating 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.
