Figviz turns a sentence, a topic, or a PDF into an accurate, labeled diagram for biology, chemistry, physics, and K-12 math. Built for teachers and students: classroom-ready figures in seconds, print-ready PNG export, 150+ free tools. Free to start.
How accurate is it really with more niche biology topics like cell signaling pathways or metabolic cycles, and does it pull from a verified source or just generate from its own training?

Hey Okan — honest answer, since it's the right question to ask.
Figviz generates with a frontier image model (Gemini-family), not a live scientific database. So for niche topics, treat it as a fast first draft, not an authority — left to pure generation, models do fumble the exact steps of a cascade or mislabel an intermediate. That's real.
So we don't leave it to pure recall:
1) Verified presets for well-known hard topics — metabolic cycles (glycolysis, Krebs, Calvin, ETC) and signaling cascades (MAPK/ERK, cAMP–PKA, insulin, apoptosis). We inject a hand-verified component list into the prompt so the model reproduces the canonical steps in the right order instead of inventing them. We actually shipped this today after your comment — here's a fresh MAPK/ERK run (RTK → GRB2/SOS → Ras → Raf → MEK → ERK → nucleus, correctly ordered).
2) Bring your own source — drop in a PDF (a textbook page or paper) and Figviz grounds the diagram in your material, not the model's memory.
Bottom line: a drafting tool for teachers and students who review before use — strongest on standard curriculum, grounded by our presets or your own source. For a truly obscure pathway, give it a reference and sanity-check the labels.
Thanks for pushing on this — it made the product better today.

Love that it spits out print-ready PNGs straight from a sentence—that detail alone saves me a ton of time prepping slides. Clean execution for teachers.
