Build or change a diagram with the AI architect

1. Open a diagram and start from the dashboard's Generate with AI tile, which opens a new diagram with the architect panel already running your description. (The sparkle button that used to sit on the canvas is hidden.)
2. Describe what you want in plain language, for example:
   • "Small office, 25 staff, guest Wi-Fi, a file server."
   • "Add a cameras VLAN with four cameras on the PoE switch."
   • "Put every PLC at Purdue level 1 behind the OT firewall."
3. The architect creates and changes real VLANs, subnets, devices, IP addresses, racks and cables, then checks its work with the diagram assistant.
4. Follow up in the same chat to adjust the result.

Undo it

A version called Before AI architect is saved before every run. Restore it from Versions… on the File menu. See Restore an earlier version.

Limits

• Runs count against your plan's monthly allowance.
• It can only do what an editor can do. On a diagram that requires approval, it can only work in a change request's draft.
• What is sent to Anthropic: see What leaves the server?
