# Next AI Draw.io

A next.js web application that integrates AI capabilities with draw.io diagrams. This app allows you to create, modify, and enhance diagrams through natural language commands and AI-assisted visualization.

Demo site: [https://next-ai-draw-io.vercel.app](https://next-ai-draw-io.vercel.app)

## Features

-   **LLM-Powered Diagram Creation**: Leverage Large Language Models to create and manipulate draw.io diagrams directly through natural language commands
-   **Image-Based Diagram Replication**: Upload existing diagrams or images and have the AI replicate and enhance them automatically
-   **Diagram History**: Comprehensive version control that tracks all changes, allowing you to view and restore previous versions of your diagrams before the AI editing.
-   **Interactive Chat Interface**: Communicate with AI to refine your diagrams in real-time
-   **Smart Editing**: Modify existing diagrams using simple text prompts
-   **Targeted XML Editing**: AI can now make precise edits to specific parts of diagrams without regenerating the entire XML, making updates faster and more efficient

## How It Works

The application uses the following technologies:

-   **Next.js**: For the frontend framework and routing
-   **@ai-sdk/react**: For the chat interface and AI interactions
-   **react-drawio**: For diagram representation and manipulation

Diagrams are represented as XML that can be rendered in draw.io. The AI processes your commands and generates or modifies this XML accordingly.

## Multi-Provider Support

-   AWS Bedrock (default)
-   OpenAI
-   Anthropic
-   Google AI
-   Azure OpenAI
-   Ollama

Note that `claude-sonnet-4-5` has trained on draw.io diagrams with AWS logos, so if you want to create AWS architecture diagrams, this is the best choice.

## Getting Started

### Installation

1. Clone the repository:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/DayuanJiang/next-ai-draw-io
cd next-ai-draw-io
```

2. Install dependencies:

```bash
npm install
# or
yarn install
```

3. Configure your AI provider:

Create a `.env.local` file in the root directory:

```bash
cp env.example .env.local
```

Edit `.env.local` and configure your chosen provider:

-   Set `AI_PROVIDER` to your chosen provider (bedrock, openai, anthropic, google, azure, ollama)
-   Set `AI_MODEL` to the specific model you want to use
-   Add the required API keys for your provider

See the [Multi-Provider Support](#multi-provider-support) section above for provider-specific configuration examples.

4. Run the development server:

```bash
npm run dev
```

5. Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) in your browser to see the application.

## Deployment

The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the [Vercel Platform](https://vercel.com/new) from the creators of Next.js.

Check out the [Next.js deployment documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/deploying) for more details.

Or you can deploy by this button.
[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FDayuanJiang%2Fnext-ai-draw-io)

Be sure to **set the environment variables** in the Vercel dashboard as you did in your local `.env.local` file.

## TODOs

-   [x] Allow the LLM to modify the XML instead of generating it from scratch everytime.
-   [x] Improve the smoothness of shape streaming updates.
-   [x] Add multiple AI provider support (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, Ollama)
-   [ ] Solve the bug that generation will fail for session that longer than 60s.
