Creating Models with AI
BPM Studio can draft a BPMN model for you from material you already have - a photo or screenshot of a flow, a procedure document, a Visio file, or simply a description you type. You then refine the generated model in the editor like any other.
The AI options appear only when AI agents are enabled for your tenant. If you don't see them, ask your tenant administrator.
Where to Start
There are three ways to start an AI generation:
- New model - on the project's Models page, click New model and pick one of the AI options.
- AI Jobs - open AI Jobs in the sidebar and click New job.
- Files - on the Files page, use a file's Generate with AI action to build a model from something you have already uploaded.

The AI Options
| Option | You provide | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Describe it in chat | A description of the process, typed in chat (no files needed) | The AI agent builds the model from your description, and you can refine it in the conversation. |
| From a picture | Photos or screenshots of a flow (PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, WEBP) | The AI reads each image and builds a BPMN model - one model per picture. |
| From an SOP | Procedure documents (PDF, Word, text, or Markdown) | The AI reads the document and builds the process it describes. |
| From Visio | A Visio drawing (.vsdx) |
The AI reads the Visio shapes and connections and turns them into a clean BPMN model. |
For the file-based options you can upload new files or pick ones already in the project. Each file can be up to 20 MB.
While the Job Runs
Generation runs in the background - you can leave the page. The job appears in the project's AI Jobs list, where you can follow its status, and you receive an email when the model is ready.

After Generation
The generated model appears under the project with an AI-built badge. Open it in the editor, fix anything the AI got wrong, tidy it with Arrange, and save - every save records a new version, so the AI's original draft stays in the history.
