About Next Ai Draw Io

Next AI Draw.io is an open-source, Next.js-based web application that integrates AI capabilities with draw.io diagrams. It allows users to create, modify, and enhance diagrams through natural language commands and AI-assisted visualization. Key features include LLM-powered diagram creation, image-based diagram replication (upload and enhance existing diagrams), comprehensive diagram version history, an interactive chat interface for real-time refinement, specialized support for AWS architecture diagrams, and animated connectors for dynamic visualizations. The tool supports multiple LLM providers (ByteDance Doubao, AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, Ollama, etc.) and stores API keys locally in the browser for privacy. The demo site is sponsored by ByteDance Doubao and uses the glm-4.7 model by default.

FAQ

How does Next AI Draw.io work?
The app uses Next.js for the frontend, Vercel AI SDK for streaming AI responses, and react-drawio for diagram representation. Diagrams are represented as XML that can be rendered in draw.io. The AI processes natural language commands and generates or modifies the XML accordingly.
Which LLM providers are supported?
Supported providers include ByteDance Doubao, AWS Bedrock, OpenAI/OpenAI-compatible APIs, Anthropic, Google AI, Google Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, SiliconFlow, and ModelScope.
Can I use my own API key?
Yes. Click the Settings icon in the chat panel to configure your provider and API key. Your key is stored locally in your browser and is never stored on the server.
What is the best model for AWS architecture diagrams?
Claude Sonnet 4-5 has been trained on draw.io diagrams with AWS logos, so it is the best choice for generating AWS architecture diagrams.
