# 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.
