Next AI Draw IO Overview
DayuanJiang/next-ai-draw-io connects AI coding clients to a live draw.io canvas in the browser, using project files and mxCell XML to create diagrams.

The preview also accepts manual edits, so it fits workflows where a developer and an agent iteratively work on the same architecture or infrastructure diagram. Reach for it when browser-based collaboration, saved sessions, and draw.io shape libraries matter.
Primary Use Cases for Next AI Draw IO:
- Draw an architecture diagram from a repository
- Edit selected diagram shapes from a browser session
- Review rendered diagrams with screenshots
- Restore an earlier diagram version
