Hi Product Hunt community 👋 There are so many coding copilots for engineers today, but where are copilots for non-coding tasks like drawing architecture diagrams and writing tech docs? Eraser has generated 1 million+ (!) diagrams for our users in the last year and we are excited to launch Eraser AI, the first copilot for technical design. We want to take out the tedious parts of technical design for engineers and architects. Here's what's special about Eraser AI: 🖼️ Rapid diagram generation – Draw that diagram in seconds, not hours. Eraser can generate beautiful, colorful, icon-studded diagrams. Choose from 4 different diagram types and include images in your prompts if you'd like. ⚙️ Full control on editing – You have a first draft, how do you make it perfect? This is where Eraser AI really shines. If you know exactly what you want, you can make direct diagram code edits. If it's open-ended or tedious edits, you can follow up with more AI prompts. Eraser AI always gives you full control. 📃 Tech doc outline generation – You're now set on diagrams, but need to write a design doc along with that diagram? We've got you covered. With Eraser AI, you can generate outlines for planning docs (RFCs, design docs) or documentation (READMEs). Eraser AI is free to try! www.eraser.io/ai

Omar Sourour
@dessignnet Thanks Marios! We're gladd you like it :)
Niels Hoven
Your demo video is hilarious, nice work! I wish this existed 6 months ago when I was writing some of our first database specs!
Shin Kim
@nielshoven thanks, we had a lot of fun making the video! Better late than never, you might want to make some database diagrams as documentation!
Mehdi Djabri
amazing work, congrats @shin_kim1 and team!
Spencer Clark
@mehdidjabri thank you Mehdi!
Nick Milo
Congrats to the Eraser team, this looks amazing. Special shoutout to @thisisehsan !
Shin Kim
@thisisehsan @nickmilo Thank you Nick!
Ehsan Noursalehi
Thank you @nickmilo. Appreciate you, your guidance and your support
Devo
This looks so amazing for technical and non-technical teams alike!
Spencer Clark
@devonfrohne thank you Devo. We aim to make documentation and diagrams easy for everyone!
Ehsan Noursalehi
Thanks for checking it out @devonfrohne, can't wait to see what you make with it
Tiep Vu
So you tell me that I can now design with written words? That's great! I have been spending years using Figma and now I know this tool. Great job guys! Upvoted!
Shin Kim
@tiepvuvan You bet! A lot of indie hackers tell us their work pipeline is Figma (for mockup) → Eraser (for technical design) > VS Code (to write code).
Ehsan Noursalehi
Thank you @tiepvuvan I am glad you came across Eraser and I hope it finds a home in your development workflow. We find that it works very well with Figma to fill a void at both the start and end of our Figma-based product design work.
Tiep Vu
@shin_kim1 Would love to hear your and your team's thoughts on our product as well, Shin. We're launching right now!
Tiep Vu
@thisisehsan Great, Ehsan. We are drawing AppAlloy with Figma as well. Come see and give us your thoughts!
Girdharee Saran
Awesome product! @shin_kim1 Eraser AI is indeed a great tool for technical design. Create and edit diagrams and docs with natural language prompts that output diagram code. How does Eraser AI handle complex technical concepts and ensure accurate translation into diagram code?
Yoel Tadmor
@shin_kim1 @10xmarketer Excellent question! We actually published a post on this just today: https://www.eraser.io/decision-n...
Darren Chait
Love the product. Love the team. Love what it enables me to do. You've solved for the hardest part of diagramming – especially for a non-technical tech person like myself! Congrats team. Can't wait to see what's next!
Shin Kim
@darren_chait thank you for your support Darren! Manual diagramming does tend to be a chore whether it's technical or not!
Sena Gbeckor-Kove
@shin_kim1 this is a real timesaver. I'm gradually moving everything off Omnigraffle and WebSequence Diagrams.
Shin Kim
@senagbe that's great to hear! hopefully you'll be able to consolidate all of your diagramming needs with Eraser!
Thet Lin Thu
Incredible! Eraser AI is not just about the speed of creating diagrams but also the ease of making adjustments and generating accompanying tech docs. A solid tool that enhances productivity dramatically. Congrats on the launch, team!
Eugene Tsakh
@thetlinthu Thank you! We glad you feel about the tool this way! Our goal was to make the best documentation and diagramming tool for engineering teams and beyond, and comments like yours reinforces our belief that we are moving in the right direction.

I have been using it since the early version last year, it is indeed very convenient👍
Shin Kim
@yancymin thank you for using Eraser! Please let us know what you think of the AI features!
Jacob Thure Graf
Congrats on the launch Eraser AI!

@jacob_thure_graf Thanks for the support!
Viet Le
This is a game changer!
Shin Kim
@viet_le Thank you Viet!! 🙏
Nicolas Nguyen
Just had a chance to check it out. The design is pretty intuitive. Can't wait to give it a try on my next project. @shin_kim1 Congrats on the launch.
Shin Kim
@nickhung Our designer @thisisehsan is going to love hearing that! Would love to know how it goes. Which diagram type do you think is going to be most helpful for you?
Vimarsh Tiwari
This is super useful, I am building a low-code tool to integrate RAGs with LLM for online businesses. This is going to come in handy on our landing page. Congratulations on your successful launch and yes the video was great and super funny. GG guys.
Spencer Clark
@vmrsh thank you for the support!
Maxime Dolores
Eraser is one of my favorite whiteboarding tools, easy to get going, a free tier which is reasonable enough when you want to share a board with someone
Shin Kim
@m_dolr really appreciate your endorsement here Maxime! We really try to make it easy to get started but powerful enough to handle complexity so this means a lot to us.
Ehsan Noursalehi
@m_dolr so glad to hear that!
German Syroezhkin
Using it daily for all of my projects. Super useful when you need to change a tiny bot and redraw the whole scheme because of it - Eraser does it all for you
Eugene Tsakh
@laocool Thank you German! We are glad you find Eraser to be such a useful tool!
Joe Dorsey Jr
Phenomenal tool! Probably my favorite top 5 for the year.
Spencer Clark
@joe_dorsey_jr thank you Joe! We love being in your top 5.
Christoph Auer-Welsbach
I'm following Shin's team since the early days, in particular DiagramGPT last year. It's amazing to see the speed of development and what Eraser AI has become. The product is intuitive to use and the level of quality it produces is fascinating. It's the next step in software automation without any doubt.
Shin Kim
@awchristoph thank you for the vote of confidence!
