Using smart templates in draw.io

The smart template generator in draw.io uses ChatGPT. You write a prompt in text, and it returns a mermaid diagram based on your input and the options you selected.

Only your query and the response generated by ChatGPT is seen by ChatGPT. draw.io does not share your diagram or editor data with this third-party service.
