Teach AI assistant how to create inverted pyramid diagram
Claire Baker
When trying to generate an inverted pyramid diagram structure (commonly used for hierarchy of controls in public health work), the AI assistant really struggled and ultimately wasn't able to accomplish the task / told me it was impossible, even though it is possible (just need to create a vertical funnel diagram under Steps). Alternatively if the AI can't do it, would still help to have a clear explanation somewhere of how to manually create common diagram types.

Hey Claire Baker, thanks for the super clear writeup (and the screenshot). Totally get the use case, inverted pyramid is a pretty standard hierarchy-of-controls visual.
I’ll pass this along to the team as two asks: (1) teach the AI to generate an inverted pyramid / flipped pyramid layout, and (2) add clearer docs for how to manually build common diagram types when the AI can’t.
Quick couple questions so we capture it right: 1) are you aiming for a true inverted pyramid (stacked trapezoids) or is a vertical funnel shape acceptable? 2) how many levels do you typically need (like 3, 5, 7)?
