How does AI generation work in DraftyLab?

Describe the process or system in plain language, or attach a PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, text or Markdown file. The assistant proposes the diagram as a review card; you apply it in one click and can undo it in one step.

Can I edit the AI-generated flows?

Yes. Everything the AI adds is ordinary board content you can move, restyle and edit. You can also ask the assistant to change existing parts of the board.

Can I use my own OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini key?

Yes, on paid plans. Add your key in Profile, choose which AI runs your requests and any model your key offers. Requests on your own key use no DraftyLab credits.

Drafty, your AI assistant

Chat your diagram into shape

Don't start from a blank screen. Describe the process, drop in the document that explains it, or ask for changes to the board you have. Drafty, DraftyLab's AI assistant, proposes the diagram — you decide what goes on the board.

Apply to board

It sees your board

Ask for changes to what's already there — "add an approval step after review", "split this into swimlanes" — not just new diagrams from scratch.

You approve every change

The assistant proposes; you see a review card of what it will add, change or remove, and apply it in one click. One undo puts it all back.

Bring your documents

Attach PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, text or Markdown files and ask for the process, the org chart or the database inside them.

Tidy layouts

Rearrange any board by the role of each element, with straight columns and right-angle lines. Big database schemas are grouped by domain.

Standard or Advanced

Standard is fast and cheap for everyday edits. Advanced handles harder requests for about 3× the credits.

Your own AI key

On paid plans, use your own Gemini, OpenAI or Anthropic key, pick any model it offers, and use AI with no credit limit.

Also with AI

Write documents from your board →

SOPs, specs, user guides and summaries with pictures of the diagram, exported to Word, PDF or Markdown.

Also with AI

Review your board →

Instant checks as you draw, and an AI review that finds missing steps, unclear owners and risks.

The assistant sticks to diagrams: design and process help, yes — code, browsing and unrelated tasks, no. A typical chat message uses about 10 AI credits; the free plan includes 100 a month.
