Your research already has a story. FigureDraft turns a research description into a scientific figure draft with AI. Review the objects, labels, and relationships before generating the image, so you can inspect what the figure is meant to show. Generate your draft and download it as a PNG. It’s a visual starting point for scientific communication—not a substitute for checking the science. Try it at https://figuredraft.com/

Could you build this?
Partial The workflow of structured input, object and relationship review, and export is vibe-codeable. Producing scientifically accurate figures with correct labels is a hard problem that current image generators handle poorly.
What it would actually take: Build a web app that has an LLM extract entities and relationships from the research text into a structured graph, lets the user edit it, then renders it through a diagramming engine such as Graphviz, D2, or SVG layout code, with export to PNG. The hard part is reliable, publication-quality layout and labeling, and the review step is what keeps figures faithful to the research. Doing this well benefits from people with scientific visualization expertise and a rendering pipeline tuned for journal standards.
