With ChatGPT's assistance, we can effortlessly generate and edit diagrams directly within the chat interface. However, visualizing these diagrams requires copying and pasting the code into the Mermaid editor. Introducing the [HueHive diagram generator](https://huehive.co/tools/diagrams), your solution to seamless diagram creation and visualization in the chat interface.

## Creating Diagrams Using ChatGPT
ChatGPT has proven to be more than just a conversational agent. you can now leverage it to generate Mermaid diagrams on the fly. Whether you're sketching out a software architecture, outlining a business process, or visualizing data flow, LLMs can assist you in turning your ideas into clear and concise diagrams. I tried it for multiple usecases and noticed that it works by just explaining the process, architecture to chatGPT.

## Visualizing Diagrams in the Chat Screen
1. One of the problem with ChatGPT is that you can't see the visualization if you are generating diagrams and it becomes hard to iterate without visualization  
2. Second problem is to come up with the prompt to make sure diagram is generated properly. I have seen that without enough context the syntax is incorrect.
