Why it is recommended
Excalidraw draws sketchy, hand-drawn diagrams right in the browser. No account needed, and you save to PNG, SVG or a .excalidraw file. The hidden gem: paste code and it becomes a diagram, so you can ask an AI for the structure in Mermaid and drop it straight in.
Get started
What you need
- A browser (no install, no account)

Right away
- Open excalidraw.com
- Ask an AI for code (prompt below)
- Paste it into Mermaid to Excalidraw in the menu
Turn the structure I describe into a Mermaid flowchart. - Short node names, 15 nodes at most. - Output a single code block only. I will paste it into Excalidraw's 'Mermaid to Excalidraw' tool. Structure: (describe it here)
