Excalidraw's AI Tool – useful and underrated

tl;dr Easy 10x on generating sequence diagrams, flow charts and system diagrams.

I tweeted about using Excalidraw's AI tool recently: https://x.com/olshansky/status/1824168148867629340

I have a hunch that because it's not a standalone tool or a GitHub repo, it didn't get the love it deserved.

Aside from ChatGPT/Claude and Supermaven/Copilot, this has been one of the best AI tools I use on an almost daily basis.

Anytime I need to build a diagram, the first 50% (if not more) is done with this tool. I even have the option of a mermaid diagram for our docs or a pretty diagram for marketing material.

Like any AI tool, don't expect it to be perfect or get you 100% of the way there, but it will definitely save you some time and solve the blank page problem.
