# Launch — Archigram

Last updated: 2026-05-02

Archigram is launching as an open-source AI architecture diagramming platform for engineers.

## One-Line Description

Archigram turns plain-English system descriptions into editable Mermaid, PlantUML, and BPMN architecture diagrams.

## Short Description

Archigram is a code-first AI diagram generator for software architecture. Engineers can describe a system, edit the generated diagram source, export SVG/PNG, share links, and use the CLI or MCP server for automation.

## What To Try First

1. Open `https://archigram.me/#app`.
2. Prompt: "Create a sequence diagram for Google sign-in with Firebase Auth, Firestore profile sync, and a protected diagram save."
3. Edit the generated Mermaid source.
4. Export SVG or PNG.
5. Copy the Mermaid code into GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, or a docs site.

## Who It Is For

- Software engineers.
- Platform and DevOps teams.
- Technical founders.
- OSS maintainers.
- Architecture and documentation teams.

## Why It Is Different

- Diagram source remains editable text.
- Mermaid, PlantUML, and BPMN are supported.
- The app is open-source and self-hostable.
- Google auth and Firestore sync are optional.
- CLI and MCP tools make it useful for AI agents and automation.

## Founder Note

Archigram exists because architecture diagrams should be easy to create, but they should not become static screenshots. The useful artifact is the diagram source: something engineers can read, review, diff, copy, and keep next to the code.
