featuresAt Lucid, we’ve worked AI thoughtfully into our solutions so that it can enhance what Lucid already does well, improving your collaboration and workflows and leaving room for your team’s expertise to shine. (In other words, we don’t have AI for the sake of having AI.)https://lucid.co/blog/lucid-ai-features
featuresIn this blog post, we’ve rounded up the AI features available in Lucid, so you can easily find what you need and start implementing AI into your workflow in a way that works for you.https://lucid.co/blog/lucid-ai-features
featuresLucid AI is a unified interface—available within both Lucidchart and Lucidspark—with a conversational AI assistant that acts as a collaborator on the canvas with you. Talk to Lucid AI as you would a coworker: You can even use voice-to-text and upload files or videos to a prompt to save time and offer more information. Lucid AI builds on our intelligent work acceleration platform to empower teams to create, collaborate, and uncover insights, all in an effort to maximize efficiency and output.https://lucid.co/blog/lucid-ai-features
featuresIf your original prompt doesn’t produce quite what you need, you can have Lucid AI enhance your prompt, or you can attach files that provide more context for your prompt. You can also edit your diagram with AI by typing what you’d like to change about the generated diagram.https://lucid.co/blog/lucid-ai-features
featuresInstead of manually adding conditional formatting, opens in a new tab rules to your diagram, you can use AI to add rules. Just describe what formatting you want for certain conditions, and Lucid AI will take care of the rest. If you need to adjust AI-generated rules later, navigate to the conditional formatting panel.https://lucid.co/blog/lucid-ai-features
featuresIf you’ve imported a dataset from Excel, Google Sheets, or a CSV into Lucidchart, you can use AI to recommend field mappings, opens in a new tab. Field mapping matches columns in your dataset to Lucid fields such as title, description, priority, start date, and more. (You can also use this feature in Lucidspark if you’re using the Lucid Cards for Google Sheets integrations or if you’re syncing data fields for Timelines, opens in a new tab.)https://lucid.co/blog/lucid-ai-features
featuresNote: All AI-generated diagrams will automatically have assisted layout, opens in a new tab features applied, which means you’ll be able to move shapes into drop zones, easily adjust spacing, and quickly swap shapes.https://lucid.co/blog/lucid-ai-features
featuresWith generate board, opens in a new tab, Lucid AI will set up the canvas for you based on a prompt. For example, you can tell Lucid AI that you’re setting up a brainstorming session or retrospective, and it will populate the board with corresponding Frames, sticky notes, and text blocks.https://lucid.co/blog/lucid-ai-features
featuresSummarize diagrams, ideas, or any other content on your board with Lucid AI. You can leave the summary on the board for collaborators to review asynchronously, or share that summary in other documentation.https://lucid.co/blog/lucid-ai-features
featuresLucid AI also helps you accomplish your work by providing guidance. If the assistant can’t complete a request, it will share and summarize relevant articles from the Lucid help center for your review. It will also answer questions about Lucid’s products and direct you to relevant additional resources. Finally, it will answer questions about your document. For example, if a board is shared with you to review, and it’s extensive, you can ask Lucid AI for a summary of the content and which parts to review first.https://lucid.co/blog/lucid-ai-features
