In fact ChatGPT does have diagraminig plugins you can talk to and output valid code-based diagrams.

Havent tried.




I totally missed that. I enabled plugins awhile back but didn't know how to use them, you have to use gpt4 and click an arrow at the top. There's an AWS arch diagram plugin.

Anyway, I tried to get it to diagram a multiaz multiregion AWS nodejs frontend w/ rds backend app and it kept hitting api limits. I hate that that's a problem when I'm paying $20/mo but whatever. Like, just SLOW down the api calls. Stop ending the entire response. It's frustrating. Then it just tries again and hits the same limit. Some AI.

I then shrunk it to something tiny just to see what it was, because I have no idea if its a mermaid diagram or uses the AWS icons or what, and it send me a broken image link. I told it the image didn't show up, and it sent me a direct S3 link. The S3 link gave me access denied. lol.


I don't pay so don't have acess to the GPT4 version but I have alpha plugins. I found/used this one

Show Me Diagrams Create and edit diagrams directly in chat.

Might be better than whatever AWS tbh

You can view this diagram on a new tab: https://showme.redstarplugin.com/d/d:S2Imfeqt

You can edit it here: https://showme.redstarplugin.com/s/s:6sWWQmJj

This one is indeed based on mermaidJS, and lets you see what it does by opening the tab when running

This diagram represents two regions, each containing two availability zones. In each availability zone, there's a Node.js frontend connected to an RDS backend. ```


This is awesome. Thanks for trying it out and letting me know. I definitely didnt use this "redstarplugin" plugin
