What documents can DraftyLab write from a diagram?

Process descriptions and SOPs, technical specs, user guides, database documentation, executive summaries, or a custom document you describe. You choose a short, standard or detailed length.

Which formats can I export?

Word, PDF and Markdown. You can also copy the document and paste it into Google Docs or an email.

Can I turn an existing PDF or Word document into a diagram?

Yes. Attach PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), CSV, text or Markdown files to the AI chat and ask it to draw the process. You review the proposed diagram before it is added to the board.

How many AI credits does a document use?

A document from a simple board usually uses 2 to 15 credits. A large board with several processes, where each process gets its own section, uses about 50 to 100. With your own AI key on a paid plan, documents use no credits.

📄 Diagrams to Documents

Your board, written up

Nobody wants to write the SOP after drawing the process. Drafty, DraftyLab's AI, reads your board and writes the document for you — with pictures of the diagram — ready to edit and export to Word, PDF or Markdown.

From diagram to document in three steps

Draw it, or let AI draw it

Map the process on the board — or attach the policy PDF, Word file or spreadsheet you already have and ask the AI assistant to turn it into a diagram.

Pick a document

Choose the kind of document and how long it should be: short, standard or detailed. Add a note if the reader needs something special.

Edit and share

The document opens next to your board with pictures of the diagram in it. Edit anything, then export to Word, PDF or Markdown.

Six kinds of documents

The same board can become a procedure for the team, a spec for developers and a summary for management.

Process / SOP

Step-by-step procedures your team can follow: who does what, in which order, and what happens at each decision.

Technical spec

Components, data flow and responsibilities described for the developers who will build it.

User guide

Plain-language instructions for the people who use the process or the product.

Database docs

Every table, column and relationship of your schema explained, ready for a wiki or a hand-over.

Executive summary

One page on what the process does, why it matters and where the risks are — for people who won't read the diagram.

Custom

Describe the document you need and the AI writes it from the board.

Pictures of your diagram

The document includes images of the board, kept in proportion, so readers see the flow next to the words.

Big boards, one document

Boards with several separate processes get a section each — written one by one, with a picture each — and a lead editor pass so the whole thing reads as one document.

Saved with the board

Documents stay with the board they came from. Open them later, edit them, or write a fresh one when the process changes.

Export anywhere

Download Word, PDF or Markdown, or copy it straight into Google Docs or an email.

Documents in, diagrams out

Works the other way too: attach PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), CSV, text or Markdown files to the AI chat and get a diagram from them.

Your AI, your choice

Runs on DraftyLab's AI with your plan's credits, or on your own Gemini, OpenAI or Anthropic key with no credit limit (paid plans).

A document from a simple board uses about 2–15 AI credits; a big board with several processes about 50–100. The free plan includes 100 credits a month.
