How it works
Meeting is recorded and transcribed
Mavio transcribes your meeting as usual, identifying speakers and topics throughout the conversation.
AI analyzes discussion for visual content
Mavio AI scans the transcript for processes, workflows, relationships, hierarchies, and decision trees that lend themselves to visual representation.
Diagrams are generated
Based on the content detected, Mavio generates one or more diagrams using structured diagramming syntax. Each diagram is rendered as an interactive visual you can explore, edit, and export.
Supported diagram types
Flowcharts
Flowcharts
Visualize processes, decision trees, and workflows discussed in the meeting. Flowcharts are ideal for onboarding procedures, approval processes, and technical pipelines.
- Automatic detection of steps, conditions, and branches
- Color-coded nodes for decisions vs. actions
- Supports parallel paths and loops
Sequence diagrams
Sequence diagrams
Map out interactions between participants, systems, or components. Sequence diagrams are perfect for technical architecture discussions, API flows, and user journey walkthroughs.
- Participants shown as labeled lifelines
- Synchronous and asynchronous message arrows
- Loop and conditional grouping boxes
Mind maps
Mind maps
Capture brainstorming sessions and idea exploration as branching mind maps. Every topic and subtopic discussed radiates outward from a central theme.
- Automatic topic clustering and hierarchy detection
- Color-coded branches by speaker or theme
- Expandable and collapsible nodes
Timeline diagrams
Timeline diagrams
Plot milestones, deadlines, and events mentioned in the meeting along a chronological axis. Useful for project planning discussions and retrospectives.
- Auto-extracted dates and milestones
- Grouped by project phase or workstream
- Highlights overdue or at-risk items
Entity relationship diagrams
Entity relationship diagrams
When database design or data modeling is discussed, Mavio can generate ER diagrams showing entities, attributes, and relationships.
- Tables with columns and data types
- One-to-many and many-to-many relationships
- Primary and foreign key indicators
Generating diagrams from a meeting
Automatic generation
When enabled in Settings > AI > Auto-generate diagrams, Mavio automatically creates relevant diagrams after each meeting. The AI selects diagram types based on the conversation content.Manual generation
- Open any meeting and navigate to the Infographics tab.
- Click Generate Diagram.
- Choose the diagram type or select Auto-detect to let Mavio AI decide.
- Optionally highlight a specific transcript segment to scope the diagram.
- The diagram renders within 30-60 seconds.
Customization options
After a diagram is generated, you can refine it:| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Layout direction | Switch between top-down, left-right, or radial layouts |
| Color theme | Choose from preset themes or match your brand colors |
| Detail level | Toggle between summary view and detailed view with annotations |
| Labels | Show or hide edge labels, node descriptions, and speaker attributions |
| Regenerate | Re-run generation with a custom prompt for specific focus areas |
Export formats
Diagrams can be exported for use in presentations, documentation, or sharing:| Format | Use case |
|---|---|
| PNG | High-resolution image for slides and documents |
| SVG | Scalable vector for web embedding and print |
| Clipboard | Copy the diagram directly to paste into any application |
Diagram generation consumes AI credits. A single diagram costs approximately 5-10 credits depending on complexity. See AI Credits for details.
Tips for better diagrams
Be explicit about processes in meetings
Be explicit about processes in meetings
The AI generates more accurate flowcharts when participants describe steps sequentially. Phrases like “first we do X, then Y, and if Z happens we do W” produce the best results.
Name your systems and components
Name your systems and components
For sequence diagrams, clearly naming the systems or people involved (“the frontend sends a request to the API, which queries the database”) helps the AI map interactions correctly.
Use the transcript highlight feature
Use the transcript highlight feature
If your meeting covered multiple topics, highlight just the relevant section before generating. This focuses the AI on the content that matters for the diagram.
