SciFig AI

AI mechanism diagram generator

Explain a scientific mechanism step by step

Specify the actors, sequence, compartments, and type of each relationship. SciFig turns that logic into a mechanism diagram draft you can inspect and correct.

Write the mechanism as ordered relationships

Use a starting prompt, then replace every component, action, compartment, and outcome with evidence from your study.

Mechanism structures for visual planning

These generated examples are composition references. Verify the direction, meaning, and evidence behind every connection.

List actors, actions, and order

Write the mechanism as a controlled sequence before generating. Name what acts, what changes, where it happens, and whether the relationship represents activation, inhibition, transport, binding, conversion, or a hypothesis.

  • Use one name for each entity throughout the figure
  • Separate simultaneous events from sequential stages
  • State cellular, material, or spatial compartments
  • Mark proposed links differently from observed links

Use consistent visual notation

Ask for a limited arrow vocabulary, numbered stages, and clear boundaries. After generation, standardize arrowheads, inhibition bars, legends, abbreviations, and labels so the same symbol never carries two meanings.

  • Check every label and scientific term
  • Verify arrows, structures, and causal relationships
  • Compare the draft with the source data or manuscript

Match claims to supporting evidence

A mechanism diagram often combines direct measurements, established literature, and interpretation. Review each edge against its source and explain uncertainty or proposed steps in the legend.

  • Confirm dimensions, file format, and resolution
  • Review the target venue's AI-use policy
  • Complete a final expert review before use
