How to make and share diagrams with Perplexity
How to make and share diagrams with PerplexityPerplexity (Perplexity) can draw architecture diagrams, flowcharts, and sequence diagrams, but on its own they end up as text in the chat or a file only you can open. Connect Diagram once and every diagram Perplexity makes becomes a link you can share, which stays current as the diagram changes.
1. Connect Diagram to Perplexity
Perplexity connects with an address that has a personal key in it. Sign in to Diagram and the setup page gives you yours, with the exact steps.
Needs Perplexity Pro, Max, or Enterprise.
2. Ask for a diagram
Start a new thread with Diagram turned on, then describe what you want in plain words. For example:
- “Draw a diagram of a typical OAuth login and give me a link.”
- “Turn this process into a flowchart I can send to my team.”
- “Make a sequence diagram of how a payment moves between the app, Stripe, and the bank.”
- “Draw our org chart from this list.”
Perplexity draws it and gives you a link.
3. Share the link
Paste it in Slack, a pull request, or a doc. Diagrams start private; add people to the project, share it with your team, or make one public. When it changes, ask Perplexity to update it: the link stays the same and every version is kept.
