AI Workspace for Diagrams & Collaboration
A genogram is an enhanced family tree that maps not just who is related to whom, but the medical, emotional, and social relationships between family members across generations. It uses standardized symbols — squares for males, circles for females, and different lines for different relationships — so patterns like inherited conditions or recurring dynamics become easy to see. It is a core tool in therapy, medicine, and social work.
With Cloudairy you can build one in minutes: start from a genogram template, add each generation with squares and circles, connect them with relationship and descent lines, annotate the details, then share a live board.
Map families fast with ready-made genogram templates, AI drafting, real-time collaboration, and an infinite canvas built for clear, shareable genograms.
Create a clear genogram in four steps.
Start with the oldest generation at the top — add each person as a square (male) or circle (female).
Work down the generations, adding parents, then children, connected by descent lines.
Connect couples with relationship lines and children with descent lines, using line styles for close, distant, or conflicted bonds.
Add medical, emotional, or social notes to each person, then share the live board or export as an image or PDF.

A family tree shows lineage — who descends from whom. A genogram adds a layer of detail on top: medical history, emotional bonds, conflict, and other relationship dynamics, using standardized symbols. Genograms are used clinically; family trees are usually for genealogy.
Males are drawn as squares and females as circles. Horizontal lines show relationships (marriage, partnership, divorce), vertical lines show descent to children, and an X through a symbol marks someone who has died. Different line styles capture close, distant, or conflicted relationships.
Therapists, counselors, social workers, and family doctors use genograms to understand a client's family context, spot inherited medical conditions, and see recurring emotional patterns. Genealogists and students use them to map and study family history.
Start from a genogram template or a blank canvas, add each generation with squares and circles, connect them with relationship and descent lines, annotate medical or emotional details, then share the board with your team.
