AI-generated Draw.io, editable in a Lark whiteboard

We recently validated a new AI design workflow: have AI generate a Draw.io file directly, then import it into a Lark whiteboard to get an editable infographic / flowchart / knowledge card. From now on AI does not only generate images or slides, it can generate an importable, editable, collaborative board file.

The real result after importing into a Lark / Feishu whiteboard: every element can be individually selected, dragged, edited, commented on and collaborated on.

How it works

The core flow is simple:

  1. 1

    Hand an article, meeting notes, product plan or tech doc to AI;

  2. 2

    Ask AI to output Draw.io XML source;

  3. 3

    Save it as a .drawio file;

  4. 4

    Upload via "Import" inside a Lark whiteboard;

  5. 5

    After import, the text, cards, arrows and flow nodes stay editable.

From a block of text to a collaborative board, the whole chain is just four steps.

Why it matters

Compared with letting AI just output an image, this fits team collaboration far better:

  • Editable: not a frozen image, text and modules can all change;
  • Collaborative: comment and adjust right inside the Lark whiteboard;
  • Reusable: the same structure carries over to plan / architecture / summary diagrams;
  • Visual: turns long text into an easier-to-grasp infographic;
  • Low-cost: produce structured diagrams fast without opening a design tool.

Where it fits

Meeting notes → one summary diagramProduct plan → flowchart / feature architectureTech doc → system architecture / module mapCompetitive analysis → comparison chartArticle / report → a visual long-form graphicProject retro → timeline / root-cause mapTraining material → knowledge cards

Wired to Lark CLI, it becomes a general capability

For now you still save the .drawio and import it by hand. Once wired to the Lark CLI / open platform, it upgrades from "generate a file once" into a team-wide capability: read a doc → distill structure → generate a board → write it into a designated Lark space → the team edits and collaborates directly.

Any structured content can be auto-turned by AI into an editable Lark whiteboard.

In one line

This is not about making AI draw one picture, it is about making AI generate a board you can keep editing and collaborating on inside Lark.
