How to generate an AI BPMN Diagram
Step-by-step guide on generating a BPMN Diagram
- Write a clear prompt describing your business process. Good prompts are typically 3–4 sentences and should cover:
- Major steps: Outline each task sequentially, indicating start and end points (events).
- Participants: Specify roles or departments for tasks, which become swimlanes (e.g., “HR reviews application, Manager approves”).
- Decision points: Describe key decisions (gateways) and outcomes (e.g., approved/rejected paths).
- Generate a diagram using your prompt. Input your prompt into an AI diagramming tool (e.g., Eraser). The result will show tasks connected sequentially, decision gateways, and swimlanes.
- Edit the diagram with follow-up prompts (requires signing in to Eraser). Use iterative prompts to make corrections, add steps, or clarify tasks.
- Manually adjust layout (requires signing in to Eraser). Drag and reposition diagram elements for clarity and polish.
Tips on generating a BPMN Diagram
- Reuse existing documents: Pull process descriptions from existing docs or meeting notes instead of writing from scratch.
- Use an LLM to structure prompts: Leverage AI assistants (like ChatGPT) to outline process steps, participants, and decisions clearly, saving time.

FAQs
How do I get started?
Try one of our presets. Select an option under "Load a preset" and click "Generate Diagram". You can also browse our use case video library for more inspiration.
Can I edit my diagram?
Yes, the diagrams can be edited in Eraser, a docs and diagram tools built for engineering teams. Click on "Save and Edit Diagram". In Eraser, the diagrams can be edited using Eraser's diagram-as-code syntax.
Who made this and what is Eraser?
DiagramGPT was created by the team at Eraser, leveraging OpenAI's GPT-4. Eraser (eraser.io) is a whiteboard for engineering teams. You can edit your DiagramGPT generated diagrams using Eraser.
How can I share feedback?
We'd love to hear from you. Reach out to us at hello@tryeraser.com, on Twitter (@eraserlabs), or join our Slack community.
What types of diagrams can it draw?
4 types are currently available – flow charts, entity relationship diagrams, cloud architecture diagrams, and sequence diagrams.
Is there an API?
Yes, you can read our API documentation here. Due to LLM costs, the API is only available to Professional Plan teams.
Will my data be used for LLM training?
No. OpenAI nor Eraser will use your data to train AI models. Eraser may analyze your usage to improve and enhance our AI feature.
What's next?
It only gets better from here. We're working to improve accuracy and layout customization. If there's something you'd really like to see, drop us a note at hello@tryeraser.com.
