Generate diagrams from plain language, inside Slack
Mention @arialine with a description — 'payment flow with a retry queue and dead-letter after 3 retries' — and it writes the Mermaid, validates it, renders it, and posts the diagram back into the thread. Then the whole team edits it by replying, in plain language.
Why AI diagramming belongs in the conversation
- Architecture gets decided in Slack threads, then someone has to redraw it in Miro or Lucidchart after the fact.
- AI diagram web apps make one person the diagram owner — everyone else comments through them.
- Prompting a chatbot in a separate tab means copying context back and forth.
- The result is always a static export that drifts from reality within weeks.
How Arialine's AI works with your team
Create from a sentence
@arialine <description> in any channel. Arialine classifies intent, writes the Mermaid, and posts the render — interactive HTML plus PNG — with control buttons on the message.
Edit by replying
Anyone in the thread can say 'add a caching layer between the gateway and the database'. Arialine rewrites the diagram and posts version 2 — with Undo and Rewind one click away.
Turn any message into a diagram
Use the 'Render as diagram' message shortcut on an existing discussion — Arialine reads the message and its context and posts a board back to the channel.
Brainstorm alternatives
/brainstorm generates 2–3 alternative takes on the current diagram using structured creativity methods — adopt one in place or branch it to a new board.
Resilient by design
Arialine runs a fallback chain across model providers, so a single-provider outage doesn't take your diagrams down.
Frequently asked
Which AI model does Arialine use?+
A fast production model with automatic cross-provider fallback. Pasted valid Mermaid skips the AI entirely and renders directly.
Can I review AI changes before they apply?+
Yes — per-channel edit modes: smart (clear commands apply, suggestions become proposals), review (everything needs approval), and direct (everything applies).
Is my Slack content used to train models?+
No. Message content is used only to generate the requested render and is not used for training.
