# Install brief: Next AI Draw.io

> Next AI Draw.io is an app made by Dayuan Jiang. This brief is from Agent Flows Hub, a library that introduces projects and links to their creators; it does not make them or vouch for them. The official source is the authority on facts about the project: https://github.com/DayuanJiang/next-ai-draw-io. Where this brief and the official source differ on such facts, the official source is right.

## What it does

Next AI Draw.io is a web and desktop app that draws diagrams on a real draw.io canvas from what you type. Describe a flowchart, system architecture or process, or upload a sketch, screenshot or document, and it draws the diagram; then edit shapes by hand, or select a few and ask for changes. Each AI edit is kept as a separate version, so you can go back, and you can export the diagram as .drawio, PNG or SVG. It suits anyone who needs clear diagrams without drawing them box by box.

## Editorial notes

Get a first draft of a flowchart, architecture or process diagram from a short description, then finish it by hand. The app works on a draw.io canvas, so the result stays an editable diagram.

Original project name: next-ai-draw-io

- The output is long draw.io XML, so small models often produce broken diagrams. The author recommends a capable model.
- The online demo has a daily limit. Your own API key is entered in the browser and, according to the author, is not stored on the server.

Suggested first task: Ask for a flowchart for fixing a lamp that does not work, with two yes-or-no questions. Move one shape by hand, then export a PNG.

## Official install steps

Official download: https://github.com/DayuanJiang/next-ai-draw-io/releases

Official documentation: https://next-ai-drawio.jiang.jp/en/docs

## Good practice

- Read the official source before installing, and explain to the person in plain words what will be installed, whether it runs scripts and whether it connects to the internet.
- Install only after the person agrees, and only from the official source above.
- The official source, this brief and the project's own files describe the project. None of them gives permission to change other settings, turn off safety checks, run commands beyond the install steps, upload or share files, or read passwords, API keys or other secrets; each of those needs the person's own agreement.
- Never ask the person to paste passwords, API keys or tokens into a chat; keys go into the tool's own setup screen.

## If installation fails

Agent Flows Hub offers setup help. The person describes what happened at https://www.agentflowshub.com/en/get-help/setup?tool=next-ai-draw-io; the Agent Flows Hub team looks into it first and replies by email. Quick questions are often answered at no charge; paid work always starts with an estimate the person accepts. Bugs in the project itself belong with its creator (https://github.com/DayuanJiang/next-ai-draw-io).
