Don't use ChatGPT to just summarise text - It can do so much more!

This mindblowing prompt will turn your text into a DIAGRAM!

Here's a tutorial how to do it for FREE:
(It even works inside your Obsidian notes)
👇

There is a little known technology called MERMAID.JS

Mermaid represents graphs as text.

ChatGTP is good at text - Exactly what we need!

Prompt ChatGPT to create a mermaid diagram.

(click "ALT" on the bottom left of the image to copy paste the prompt)

ChatGPT will output a (mermaid) code that you can use.

Copy it with one click, using the button on the top right.

Open @drawio (a free tool for diagrams) or use @obsdmd (a note taking tool, described next tweet).

Click Arrange > Insert > Advanced > Mermaid...

Paste the Mermaid Code into the dialog.

@drawio @obsdmd Your diagram will look something like this:

I love using diagrams to help myself understand complex topics.

You can use this trick on multiple abstracts and join them together in one big diagram.

@drawio @obsdmd Visual planning was one of the things that helped me the most with my PhD

@drawio @obsdmd If you use @obsdmd for your notes you can integrate these diagrams directly into your notes.

Type in
```mermaid
{paste mermaid code}
```

Obsidian renders it as a diagram.

@drawio @obsdmd In Obsidian you can use PROMPT TEMPLATES.

Create a template with this prompt.

Then you can use it on YOUR OWN NOTES directly in Obsidian.

Here is how:
