ExplainViz
AI tool that converts research descriptions into publication-ready scientific diagrams for academics, with editable SVG output for journal submissions
Overview
ExplainViz converts research descriptions into publication-ready scientific diagrams for academics. Users describe their findings in text, and the AI drafts a structured, labeled diagram they can edit and export in journal-specification formats. Output is editable SVG compatible with Illustrator. It covers graphical abstracts, conceptual frameworks, theoretical frameworks, scientific illustrations, and research posters across disciplines including biology, chemistry, medicine, computer science, physics, and engineering, following a three-step workflow: describe, AI drafts, edit and export.
