Thesis figures, organized by discipline
Pick your field, see the diagrams your thesis usually needs, and open the right generator preset in one click.
Each card opens an existing SciDraw AI tool with the input hints, prompt constraints and examples already set for that diagram type. Start from your discipline, not from a blank prompt.
