What is ShiftX?
ShiftX is an AI-powered collaborative process mapping tool that transforms complex process maps and tedious routine documents into intuitive workflows. The platform uses artificial intelligence to generate dynamic workflows from plain text descriptions or image uploads, enabling teams to operate more efficiently and improve processes as their business evolves.
Key features include text-to-flow generation where users describe processes in plain text, image-to-flow conversion that transforms whiteboard photos or existing flow drawings into digital process maps, and seamless imports from Figma, Miro, Microsoft Visio, Bizzdesign, and other BPMN tools. The platform also offers issue tracking with assignment and progress tracking, real-time team collaboration with commenting and tagging, keyboard shortcuts for rapid navigation, and the ability to create process maps, customer journey maps, user flows, and routines.
ShiftX is ideal for teams and organizations looking to visualize and optimize their operations, enhance compliance and customer satisfaction, streamline onboarding, refunds, and technical support processes. It's suitable for one-person shows, small teams, and large enterprises, making process mapping accessible without extensive training.

Frequently asked questions about ShiftX
How do I describe the process I want to create?
Use plain text to describe the process you want to create. The more specific you write, the more detailed the flow will be. You can also start with one of the available presets.
What are actors in a process flow?
Actors are the roles and systems participating in the process. You can name a role, team, or system etc. to include them in your generated flow.
Can I edit my flows after they are generated?
Yes. When the flow is finished building, you can click on 'edit in ShiftX' and import it into ShiftX. If you don't have an account, sign up, and the generated flow will show at the top of the Setup page.
What types of flows can the AI make?
Any process maps, customer journey maps, user flows, or routines are available. The AI Process Generator can create all these different types of workflow visualizations.
Will my data be used for LLM training?
No. OpenAI will not use your description or image to train AI models. ShiftX may analyze your usage to improve and enhance their AI feature, but your process data is not used for training.
