I frequently turn notes about infrastructure, pipelines or databases into diagrams with an LLM to ground my team's understanding.
The VSCode Mermaid plugin and the GH integration make this very simple to do.

VS Code recently added some AI-related features for Mermaid

I've been using the same, but with Chatgpt. Multiple iterations are needed to get what I want though. Cool trick is that you could import Mermaid using drawio.

Sometimes I feel they are even too much trained on Mermaid. I prefer graphviz but claude very often output a mermaid diagram even if I gave a valid graphviz example in my prompt.
LLM's are well-trained on Mermaid. Gemini specifically is fantastic as a 'diagram assistant'. I was able to create this diagram and a ton of other such diagrams quite easily with Gemini and Mermaid's live editor: https://nshkr.com/SecureSphere-Overview-20241102.png
