Doodleworks

What it does

Doodleworks transforms abstract concepts, blog posts, or social media threads into a series of clean, hand-drawn line illustrations. Instead of literal diagrams, it represents each key idea as a low-tech contraption operated by Tinku, a recurring egg-blob character, helping users visualize information through conceptual metaphors.

Key features

• Interactive Viewer: Browse, zoom, and regenerate illustrations directly within the AI chat interface.
• Conceptual Mapping: Converts complex text into a sequence of intuitive, hand-drawn visual metaphors.
• BYO Key: Securely use your own OpenAI or Gemini API keys for image generation.
• High-Resolution Export: Download generated illustrations as PNGs with optional title captions.
