Floani
Product Hunt Elber Domingos
Floani launched today to make AI diagrams you can animate and share. It also plugs into Claude, Codex, and Cursor, but the nicer extras sit behind paid plans.

Floani is a new Product Hunt launch built for people who want diagrams that do more than sit still. The pitch is simple: turn messy systems into something clearer, then animate the path so the viewer follows the story instead of staring at a static box-and-arrow map.
The app folds diagramming and motion graphics into one canvas. Users can create with Floani’s built-in AI or hook up Claude, Codex, and Cursor through MCP. That makes the tool less like a drawing app and more like a guided presentation surface, where connections can move and scenes can unfold in sequence.
It also tries to stay compatible with work people already have. Floani can import Mermaid, which should help anyone with diagrams living elsewhere. From there, the output options are broad: interactive sharing, embeddable diagrams, and exports to MP4 or GIF.
The pricing split is straightforward. You can start free, while advanced sharing, exports, and MCP support are reserved for paid plans. That’s a familiar shape for AI tools right now: the demo is open, the useful workflow features are where the meter starts running.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This feels like the right kind of AI tool: less chatbot confetti, more actual utility. The catch is obvious, of course — the good stuff is in the paid tier, because apparently even diagrams now have a premium glow-up. Still, if AI is going to justify itself anywhere, it’s in making ugly systems readable without making someone suffer through slideware.
