 I thought Lucid Chart caught up with the thoughts in my head...and then I was disappointed (I think). I can use the AI feature, but it doesn’t create a swim lane chart. I actually want a two swim lane diagrams on top of one another - one with vertical columns representing business process lifecycle states and the rows to represent our org, vendors, contractors, depts or whatever. This isn’t possible right? I really hoped I could have a template that I could type up with the different variables each time retaining the consistency across all processes. I feel like now I have to do this manually which I don’t have time to do, nor it is efficient. Any thoughts?

Hi ​@speerjoyce1,

We’re excited to share an update to Lucid AI:

Lucid AI can now automatically generate swimlanes with AI when creating diagrams. If your prompt includes lanes—or mentions teams, roles, or systems that imply lanes—Lucid AI will add them for you.

Try it out by asking Lucid AI to generate a diagram with swimlanes, and let us know:

  • Does this match how you expect lanes to work?

  • What diagram types do you want swimlanes for most?

  • What would make this even more useful?

Drop your thoughts below—we’re actively using community feedback to shape what’s next.
