Data flow diagrams with AI.
Describe your information system and AI generates clear DFDs showing how data moves between processes, data stores, and external entities.
Information flow visualized instantly.
Stop manually drawing process bubbles and data stores. Describe any information system in plain language and AI generates a complete data flow diagram with processes, external entities, data stores, and directional data movement paths automatically.
Describe your system, get a DFD.
Simply describe your information system in plain language. AI generates a complete data flow diagram with processes, data stores, external entities, and data movement paths, laying out the entire flow automatically.

Multiple styles for every context.
Generate data flow diagrams in the visual style that fits your audience. From clean professional diagrams for system documentation to hand-drawn sketches for requirements gathering sessions and 3D isometric views for architecture presentations.
- Professional. Clean shapes for system documentation.
- Sketchy hand-drawn. Informal for requirements gathering sessions.
- 3D isometric. Dimensional for architecture presentations.
Fully editable after generation.
Every AI-generated data flow diagram is fully editable. Modify process labels, rearrange data stores, add or remove external entities, change colors, and adjust the layout to match your exact system. Regenerate with a different prompt to explore alternative representations.
- Edit labels & processes. Rename processes, update data stores, fix entity names.
- Rearrange layout. Move nodes, adjust spacing, resize shapes to fit your needs.
- Add & remove elements. Insert additional processes, data stores, or external entities.
- Color & style. Apply custom colors, borders, and themes to match your brand.
Part of your AI whiteboard.
Data flow diagrams live on your MockFlow board alongside mind maps, documents, kanban boards, and other AI-powered components. Generate diagrams, organize systems, and collaborate with your team, all in one place.
- AI components. Mind maps, documents, charts, tables, and more on one canvas.
- Real-time collaboration. Work together with your team on the same whiteboard.
Use your own AI. No limits. No credits.
Connect MockFlow to your Claude or ChatGPT account through MCP or GPT Actions. Your API, your usage: generate unlimited data flow diagrams without worrying about credits or restrictions.
How AI data flow diagrams work.
From system description to professional DFD in three steps.
Describe your system
Type your information system, data pipeline, or process in plain language. Include key processes, data stores, and external entities.
AI creates the DFD
AI generates a complete data flow diagram with processes, data stores, external entities, and directional arrows showing data movement paths.
Refine & export
Edit processes, adjust layout, or regenerate with a different prompt. Export as PNG, SVG, or share with your team for collaboration.
AI data flow diagrams for every domain.
From enterprise systems to software architecture, AI creates the right data flow diagram.
System analysis
Map how data flows through information systems, showing inputs, outputs, processes, and storage to understand system behavior and dependencies.
ETL processes
Visualize extract-transform-load pipelines showing data extraction from sources, transformation steps, and loading into target data warehouses.
API design
Diagram data flows between API endpoints, microservices, and client applications to plan integration architecture and data contracts.
Database planning
Map data movement between database tables, views, and stored procedures to plan schema design and optimize query performance.
Security audits
Trace sensitive data flows through systems to identify exposure points, encryption boundaries, and compliance requirements for security reviews.
Business process modeling
Document how business information moves between departments, systems, and stakeholders to improve operational efficiency and communication.
