Insight Maker
Free no-code system modeling and simulation platform
What is Insight Maker?
Try Insight MakerInsight Maker is a free, browser-based no-code platform for creating system models and running simulations. Build diagram-based models and explore how system behavior changes over time. You can also create private Insights for work that shouldn’t be public.
What can you build and simulate with Insight Maker?
With Insight Maker, you can create system models and run simulations directly in your browser. The platform focuses on diagram-based modeling and lets you explore how behavior evolves over time.
Do you need to install anything to use Insight Maker?
No. Insight Maker is browser-based, so you can start modeling and running simulations after signing up for an account.
What diagram types can you create in Insight Maker?
You can create diagram-based models such as rich pictures and causal loop diagrams, which are used to represent system thinking and relationships in your model.
Can you use system dynamics or agent-based modeling in Insight Maker?
Yes. Insight Maker supports System Dynamics and Agent Based models, alongside the supporting diagram types used to build those models.
Can you keep models private, or are they only public?
Insight Maker supports both public and private Insights. You can create private Insights when you want to keep your work from being publicly accessible.
Is Insight Maker beginner-friendly for learning system modeling?
Yes. Insight Maker includes help resources, including a help manual and tutorials, to support learning core system modeling concepts and using the model diagrams.
Can I share or embed my models with others?
Yes. Insight Maker supports sharing models via links and embedding models so others can view and explore them.
Is Insight Maker suitable for beginners?
Yes. Insight Maker includes help resources, including a help manual and tutorials, to help you learn core system modeling concepts and how to work with the model diagrams.
How can I find example models or topics to learn from?
You can browse and search Insights by keywords or topics, and filter by popular tags such as System Dynamics, Causal Loop Diagram, ABM, and Rich Picture.
