Creating Diagrams with AI
BPM Studio can draft a BPMN diagram for you from material you already have - a photo or screenshot of a flow, a procedure document, or simply a description you type. You then refine the generated diagram 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 two entry points:
- From the Projects page - the Generate from a picture and Start from an SOP cards create a new project together with the AI job.
- From inside a project - open AI Jobs in the left navigation and click New job to add a generated diagram to the current project.
The New job dialog offers three ways to start:
| Option | You provide | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Start from scratch | A description of the process, written in chat | The AI builds the diagram from your description. |
| Generate from a picture | Photos or screenshots of a flow | The AI reads the image and builds the BPMN diagram. |
| Start from an SOP | Procedure documents (PDF, Word, or text) | The AI reads the documents and builds the BPMN diagram. |
The Wizard
Each option walks you through a short wizard - for example, Start from an SOP:
- Name - the name for the AI job (and, when starting from the Projects page, the new project). Add an optional description.
- Documents - upload one or more procedure documents.
- Confirm - review what will be processed and submit.
While the Job Runs
Generation runs in the background - you can leave the page. You'll receive an email when the diagram is ready, and the job appears in the project's AI Jobs list, where you can check its progress and open the result.
After Generation
The generated diagram appears under the project like any other diagram: open it in the editor, fix anything the AI got wrong, rearrange with Auto layout, and save - every save creates a new version, so the AI's original draft stays in the history.
