ChatGPT

The official Whimsical plugin for ChatGPT lets you turn ideas into diagrams without leaving ChatGPT. Describe what you're thinking and get back a polished flowchart, mind map, sequence diagram, or wireframe instantly.

Get set up

To add the Whimsical to your ChatGPT:

1. Open ChatGPT
2. Go to Settings → Plugins
3. Browse the plugin directory and search for Whimsical (or click this link for direct access)
4. Click Connect and complete the authorization steps as prompted

After the plugin is connected to ChatGPT, you can use it directly in any chat by:

• Typing @Whimsical
• Or, clicking + and then More to choose the Whimsical app

Whimsical uses the full context of your ChatGPT conversation — including images, code, links, and uploaded files — to generate diagrams from text, screenshots, or documents. You can also search your Whimsical workspace directly from the ChatGPT app to pull up existing boards, reference past work, or build on top of diagrams you've already created.

Examples of what you can do:

• Generate wireframes from a website: analyze competitor websites and create wireframe mockups inspired by them.
• Create a sequence diagram from a GitHub PR: turn pull request code changes into a visual sequence diagram
• Visualize a codebase architecture: read a codebase and draw an architecture diagram.
• Convert a PRD into a user flow diagram: turn a product requirements document into a user flow.
• Summarize a Loom video as a mind map: convert a Loom transcript into a structured mind map.
