From “it’s in my head” to a flowchart
A process nobody can explain is breaking onboarding for every new hire.
How it feels: ExasperationWhat you want instead: Clear
The problem
The process lives in one person’s head. Drawing it takes time no one has.
How Plexii handles it
Describe the process in words and PlexiiDiagrams AI draws it as a flowchart and lays it out; edit shapes and labels, then export as PNG, SVG or PDF. Visio files import.
This uses Plexii’s AI, which runs on Plexii credits or your own Anthropic key. How AI is paid for.
In short: Describe the process the way you would explain it to a new starter. Plexii draws the flowchart, and you correct it until it matches reality.
