What is Raltey?

Raltey is a diagramming tool with a built-in AI agent. You can create flowcharts, mind maps, and database diagrams on an infinite canvas — and ask the AI to build, edit, or document them through conversation.

Open Beta: Raltey is free to use. You get 5 projects and 10 AI generations per month on the Free plan. No credit card required.


Step 1 — Create your account

Go to raltey.com and click Start for free. Sign in with Google. You'll land in your project dashboard.


Step 2 — Create a project

From the dashboard, click New project. Choose a diagram type:

  • Flowchart — process flows, decision trees, system logic (available on all plans)
  • Mind Map — brainstorming, concept mapping, hierarchical thinking (Starter+)
  • Database Diagram — ERDs, schema design, SQL export (Pro+)

You'll be taken directly into the editor canvas.


Step 3 — Explore the editor

The Raltey editor has three main areas:

AreaWhat it does
CanvasInfinite drag-and-drop space for your nodes and connections
ToolbarAdd nodes, switch modes, open the AI Hub, export, and share
AI HubChat sidebar where you talk to the AI agent

Double-click anywhere on the canvas to add a node. Drag from a node's edge to create a connection.


Step 4 — Use the AI agent

Open the AI Hub from the toolbar (the sparkle icon). Type what you want:

"Create a flowchart for a user login flow with error handling"

The agent reads your current canvas, generates the nodes and connections, and places them. You can keep chatting to refine the result.

Quick actions — for faster edits, select one or more nodes and click the lightning icon in the node toolbar. Six one-click AI transforms appear:

  • Break down — split a complex node into sub-steps
  • Simplify — reduce a node to its core concept
  • Add error handling — expand a flow with error paths
  • Suggest connections — propose missing links between nodes
  • Summarize — condense a group of nodes into one
  • Expand — grow a node into a full sub-diagram

Step 5 — Share your diagram

Click Share in the top-right toolbar to:

  • Copy a public link — anyone with the link can view the canvas (read-only)
  • Invite collaborators — add team members with view or edit access

On Pro plans, collaborators can edit in real time with live cursors and threaded comments.
