How to generate an AI Org Chart
Step-by-step guide on generating an Org Chart
- 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.
- Generate a diagram with the completed prompt. The AI will convert your structure into a top-down org chart.
- Edit the diagram with follow-up prompts (requires signing in to Eraser). Add roles, update labels, or adjust hierarchy.
- 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.
