ChatUML

What ChatUML is

ChatUML turns text descriptions into UML and structure diagrams. You describe the system and it produces a diagram you can revise, aimed at people who can describe a requirement but do not want to draw it by hand.

The site notes the current interface is mainly for desktop use.

What you can do with it

• Turn a description into a UML draft
• Prepare a diagram before discussing requirements
• Explain object or process structure visually
• Iterate through several versions

Who it is for

• Product managers
• Developers and system analysts
• Teams doing technical communication

What to watch out for

• Generated diagrams are a starting point; check that relationships and cardinality are right
• Complex systems need several rounds of revision
• The mobile experience is limited according to the site
• It does not replace professional modelling tools for formal delivery
