Ask Flowpilot

Flowpilot is the chat-based assistant inside Studio. It is the fastest way to describe a diagram in plain language, revise an existing draft, or ask for a different structural take before you start polishing the result manually.

Ask Flowpilot when you want to:

  • create a first draft from a text prompt
  • revise an existing system into a cleaner structure
  • expand a rough flow with missing failure branches
  • convert source code or structured input into a diagram draft

Useful prompts specify:

  • the audience
  • the systems or actors involved
  • important branches or constraints
  • preferred direction such as LR or TB
  • whether you want a high-level overview or a detailed operational flow
Create a left-to-right architecture diagram for a SaaS app with:
web client, API gateway, auth service, billing service, Postgres,
Redis cache, background workers, and S3-backed file storage.
Show public ingress, async jobs, and failure-handling paths.

Flowpilot is strongest as a draft generator, not the final editor. After generation:

  • inspect the structure on the canvas
  • relabel and normalize in the Properties Panel
  • run Smart Layout if spacing is poor
  • save a snapshot before the next major rewrite
