DGM

DGM is a comprehensive online tool aimed at creating and managing diagrams. It has been designed with a user-friendly interface that makes the creation of various diagrams simple with the help of smart shapes. The tools feature-packed functionality includes a collection of well-crafted libraries for creating flowcharts, UML diagrams, ER diagrams, and UI Wireframes. A unique feature of DGM is its experimental vision AI, potentially using future versions of OpenAIs GPT, capable of generating code from diagrams. It has a smart shapes functionality where shapes can have specific constraints, properties and scripts. Additionally, users can publish their diagrams on the web and embed them within other sites. DGM also comes with a 30-day history feature which empowers users to restore their diagrams to any point within the last 30 days. Relevant updates for a significant feature, the real-time collaboration for teams, is expected to become available.
