Eraser AI
Eraser AI, the first copilot for technical design: Iterate on diagrams & docs with Eraser AI
Introduction
Eraser AI is an AI-powered diagram-as-code copilot that transforms plain-English prompts or code snippets into professional technical diagrams. Built for modern engineering teams, it streamlines cloud architecture design, flowcharts, ER diagrams, sequence diagrams, and more—directly within your documentation or IDE. Whether you’re drafting design proposals or updating architecture docs, Eraser AI helps you maintain versioned, standardized visuals in seconds.
Key Features
Natural-Language Diagram Generation – Describe your architecture or workflow in plain English and get a fully rendered diagram.
Code-Driven Editing – Tweak the underlying
Graphviz or PlantUML code with AI suggestions for iterative refinements.
Visual Editor – Drag-and-drop shapes, connectors, and labels with AI-assisted layout optimizations.
Platform Integrations – Seamlessly embed and sync diagrams in Confluence, Notion, GitHub, and VS Code.
Secure & Private – Your assets are never used to train models; enterprise-grade privacy controls and on-premise options available.
Use Cases & Target Audience

- IT Consultants and Systems Integrators
- Engineering Managers overseeing complex codebases
What It Does?
Eraser AI ingests text or code to produce detailed, standardized diagrams. It leverages proprietary LLMs fine-tuned on diagram markup languages (e.g., DOT, PlantUML), allowing you to describe nodes, relationships, and styles in natural language. The tool then auto-generates a sketched layout, supporting complex constructs like clusters, swimlanes, and annotations. Every diagram is stored as versioned code, enabling seamless diffs and rollbacks.
How It Works?
1. Prompt or Import: Start by typing a prompt (e.g., "Draw a VPC with public and private subnets") or import existing diagram code.
2. AI Generation: The AI parses intent, selects appropriate diagram syntax, and proposes an initial layout.
3. Interactive Editing: Modify the code or use the visual canvas. AI suggestions appear inline as you adjust shapes or add components.
4. Export & Embed: Export to SVG, PNG, or embed directly in Markdown, Confluence, Notion, or code repos. Diagrams stay in sync as code evolves.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Rapid diagram creation from natural language.
- Full version control and diff-friendly code storage.
- Rich integrations with popular collaboration platforms.
- AI-assisted edits reduce manual layout adjustments.
- Strong privacy guarantees—no data used for model training.
Cons
- Steeper learning curve for users unfamiliar with code-as-diagrams.
- Free tier limits AI-generated diagrams to 20 per month.
- Currently optimized for text-based prompts; complex visual-only edits can feel less intuitive.
