As a UX researcher, my goal is to bring the stories and content I gather to life visually. With the ability to transcribe interviews easily and pick out specific parts, it would be amazing to take it a step further and automatically generate a flowchart based on the user stories.
The same workflow could apply to someone who is mapping out more technical flows.

Hi @Jonas_Keppens , appreciate the feedback and suggestion 😃
We’ll pass along to our team for consideration.
I totally get where you're coming from as a UX researcher. The ability to transform interviews and user stories into visual flowcharts would be such a time-saver! That text-to-flowchart functionality in Whimsical AI sounds promising, but I've found that automated tools like these sometimes miss the nuanced connections that emerge from qualitative research.
When I was mapping user journeys last month, I spent hours manually creating flowcharts after transcribing interviews. The ability to highlight key quotes and automatically generate a visual representation would have saved me so much time.
That said, I'd be cautious about fully automating this process. The most valuable insights often come from the researcher's interpretation and synthesis, which might get lost in translation. I've been playing around with Narrati for some of my storytelling needs - it doesn't create flowcharts specifically, but the way it helps structure narrative elements has been surprisingly useful for organizing my research findings.
What kind of user stories are you working with? And have you tried any existing tools to bridge that gap between transcripts and visual flows?
