## 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.

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.
