Your agent can't see your architecture!
An AI agent will happily edit 40 files across your repo and still not know what the system actually looks like.
It sees code. It doesn't see architecture.
Nobody's drawn the map. Not for the humans, and definitely not for the agent.

Write your prompt in French and the labels come out in French. https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT used to answer in English and skip the icons. It now translates the label first, so the icons land too.

Tuesday's whiteboard lives as a photo on one person's phone and nowhere else. Upload it to https://t.co/nn1CJLrhGl and you get an editable diagram back. Image input is on the free plan.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

Paid on https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT buys two things: exports with no watermark, and the editable .drawio file.

Private diagrams, voice input, every icon pack and the API are all on the free plan.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT is two plans now, Free and Paid, and generation is unlimited on both. Nothing to configure. Existing subscribers keep the price and features they signed up for.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT stopped counting diagrams. Two plans now, and generation is unlimited on both of them. No allowance, no per-account cap. Free is $0. Paid is $20 a month.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

About 60 seconds from a plain-English description to a native .drawio file, with 30+ icon libraries wired in.

Official AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes packs. https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT picks the icons from what you wrote, so nobody searches for the Aurora glyph again.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

The https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT community gallery holds 2,500+ public diagrams and every one is forkable. That count is diagrams people chose to publish, not diagrams generated. Worth knowing which one you are reading whenever anyone quotes a number at you.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

You are on call and the runbook diagram has not matched the infrastructure since the migration.

Describe what is actually deployed to https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT and get a current one in about 60 seconds.

Do that before the next incident, not during.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

We wrote up the cloud provider icon guide on the https://t.co/Slkps5zJN6 blog mostly because we kept answering one question: why does the AWS icon set have three things that all look like a database.

If you have picked the wrong one in a review, it is for you.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

Say "Aurora", not "the database".

https://t.co/nn1CJLrhGl picks icons from what you wrote. Name the service, get the right glyph placed. Write "the database", get a generic cylinder that nobody trusts.

Specificity in, specificity out.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

Several editors have added an AI Generate button. Some emit .drawio, same as https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT, so the format argument is over.

Compare on what happens after. Architecture Warnings on single-AZ. Opinionated Mode for what you left out. Chat refinement, not re-prompting.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

3,051+ architecture diagrams in the https://t.co/nn1CJLrhGl community gallery. All forkable.

Starting from a blank canvas is the reason most architecture diagrams never get drawn. Start from someone else's and change the parts that are wrong for you.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

The https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT REST API, MCP server and the Python and TypeScript SDKs are on every plan. Including free.

Same credit balance as the web app, so a script, a CI job and a person in a browser all draw from one pool. No developer tier to upgrade to.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

Your team has four years of .drawio files in a shared drive nobody has opened since the reorg.

Upload them to https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT for versioning, search and a workspace alongside the generated ones. Imports are free on every plan, including free.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

Updates cost fewer credits than new diagrams.
So iterate on the one you have instead of regenerating from scratch every time a subnet moves. Cheapest habit to build in https://t.co/A1afi5AODv, and the pricing page buries it.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

Import before you generate.
Uploading your existing .drawio files to https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT is free on every plan, and it answers the real question: is this somewhere you would keep your diagrams?
You still have all ten free credits afterwards.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

Free credits on https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT for inviting people, via the link on the pricing page.
Worth doing before you upgrade rather than after. Most teams find the free tier answers the question first.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

https://t.co/nn1CJLrPvT keeps version history for up to 90 days.

Which means you can regenerate aggressively, try the layout you are not sure about, accept a suggestion you half agree with, and roll back if it was wrong.
Being careful with diagrams is why they never get updated.

[Diagrams.so @diagramsso]

Most text-to-diagram tools give you a spinner for 40 seconds, then a finished thing that was wrong at the first box.
Ours streams. The canvas appears empty and elements land one at a time as the model commits to them.
You know in two seconds whether it understood you.
