What you can do with it

  • Ask your AI assistant for an architecture diagram, quadrant or sequence diagram and get one HTML file
  • Point it at your website so it picks up your colours and fonts for every later diagram
  • Import diagrams from draw.io, Mermaid or Excalidraw and export the results to PNG or SVG

Make money with it

A freelancer could offer branded diagram and documentation packages to clients, using this to produce them quickly.

Ways a business could use it

  • Produce branded technical and process diagrams for proposals, documentation and client reports without paying for a diagramming subscription
  • Create consistent visuals for blog posts, pitch decks and onboarding guides in minutes rather than drawing them by hand
