I love Mermaid diagrams. I let my coding LLMs generate diagrams during architecture design and then afterward for accuracy— Sequence Diagrams, CSD’s, Flowcharts, DFDs, and ERDs. Couldn’t be simpler. I’m happy.
I’ve used AI to build mermaid diagrams during ongoing system design discussions from transcripts as they progress.
I’ve rendered them, shared them and then the group can look at them and iterate very quickly.
A bunch of the rendering tools aren’t great, but some are and decent basic styling makes a big difference.
