Product Overview
Eraser is an AI-powered platform designed to streamline technical design and documentation workflows. It empowers teams to generate, manage, and integrate technical diagrams and documents with precision and speed. By leveraging AI, Eraser automates complex tasks like codebase visualization, architecture mapping, and document generation, ensuring consistency across projects. Its seamless compatibility with tools like Confluence, Notion, VS Code, and GitHub makes it ideal for professionals such as enterprise architects, DevOps engineers, and software developers who need to align design and documentation with evolving systems.
Key Features
AI-Powered Diagram Generation Create technical diagrams in seconds using natural language prompts or code snippets. Eraser’s intelligent models interpret requirements to produce accurate visuals, eliminating manual drafting.
Self-Updating Codebase Diagrams Automatically sync diagrams with your codebase. As code changes, Eraser refreshes visuals in real-time, ensuring documentation stays current without manual intervention.
Diagramming API Embed diagramming capabilities into custom workflows via the Diagramming API. Automate diagram creation for CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, or architecture validation.
AI Document Creation Generate comprehensive design documents and technical specifications. Eraser transforms code and diagrams into structured, human-readable content, saving hours of work.
Collaborative Integrations Connect to Confluence, Notion, VS Code, and GitHub for unified workflows. Share diagrams in documentation platforms or link them directly to repositories for traceability.
Diagram-as-Code (Diagrams-as-Code) Version control diagrams alongside code using a declarative syntax. This ensures reproducibility, enables peer reviews, and integrates with DevOps practices.
Markdown Notes & Version History Annotate diagrams with markdown for clarity and maintain a full history of edits. This feature simplifies collaboration and helps track design decisions.
Secure Guest & Member Access Control permissions via private files. Members can edit and manage content, while guests are limited to read-only access, ensuring security in cross-team projects.
