What is Changtu?
Changtu's official website positions itself as an "AI-native charting tool", emphasizing that no drawing experience is required. You can generate mind maps, flowcharts, tables, kanbans, timelines and class diagrams by uploading documents or chatting with AI.

At the same time, it also retains complete manual editing tools, allowing you to start drawing from scratch.
