What is Grafly?

Grafly is a free, browser-based diagramming tool for creating flowcharts, system architecture diagrams, AWS and GCP infrastructure maps. It uses AI to generate diagrams by accepting natural language descriptions through Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, converting them to valid JSON format. All diagrams are stored locally in your browser with no server backend, making it ideal for developers, architects, and teams who need quick, privacy-first diagram creation.
