Eraser

Eraser pairs a fast diagramming editor with AI that generates architecture diagrams and docs from prompts.

Overview

Eraser is a diagramming and documentation tool for engineers. Its AI generates flowcharts, architecture diagrams, and entity-relationship diagrams from text descriptions, while a code-like DSL keeps diagrams version-controllable and quick to edit. The same workspace produces technical docs alongside diagrams, and it integrates with GitHub, Confluence, and Notion so artifacts stay where teams already work.

Engineers appreciate that diagrams live as text: the DSL diffs cleanly in code review and regenerates visuals automatically. The AI can bootstrap a diagram from a prompt or an existing doc, after which manual editing keeps it accurate as the system evolves.

Key Features

• AI diagram generation from natural-language prompts
• Diagram-as-code DSL for fast, diffable edits
• Architecture, flowchart, ERD, and sequence diagram types
• Docs and diagrams combined in one workspace
• Integrations with GitHub, Confluence, and Notion
• Real-time multiplayer editing

Docs and diagrams coexisting is the workflow win: architecture notes with embedded, always-current diagrams live in one place. Teams that document systems regularly find the diagram-as-code approach keeps documentation honest as designs change.

Pricing

Eraser offers a free plan with core diagramming. Paid plans add unlimited AI generation, private workspaces, and team administration.

Who Is It For

Software engineers and architects who document systems and want diagrams that keep pace with code.

FAQ

Is Eraser free to use?

Yes, a free tier covers individual use; teams need paid plans for full AI and sharing features.

Does Eraser offer an API?

Eraser supports embedding and integrations with developer workflows; API access is available on team plans.

How does Eraser compare to alternatives?

Draw.io and Lucidchart are manual canvases; Eraser generates diagrams from prompts and keeps them text-based for version control.

Can Eraser export diagrams?

Diagrams export as images and embeddable objects for docs, wikis, and presentations.

Does Eraser support sequence diagrams?

Yes, sequence, flowchart, architecture, and ERD diagram types are all supported.

Can Eraser import existing diagrams?

Manual recreation in the DSL is typical; import options are expanding over time.

Is there real-time collaboration?

Yes, multiplayer editing keeps working sessions and reviews synchronized.

Is Eraser suitable for non-engineers?

Yes, the visual editor works for anyone documenting processes and systems.

Can I embed diagrams in docs?

Yes, embeds keep diagrams current inside external documentation tools.

Can Eraser generate diagrams from code?

Yes, the diagram-as-code DSL turns structured definitions into visuals, and AI generation bootstraps diagrams from prompts and documents.
