Diagrams as Code with AI with Jacqui Read

In this special live episode from the Software Architecture Gathering, Jacqui Read joins Eberhard and Ralf for an insightful conversation on the rise of diagrams-as-code and the role of AI in software documentation. Jacqui highlights how using textual notations like PlantUML, Mermaid, and Structurizr transforms diagramming from an artistic task into a systematic, data-driven process. They discuss the benefits, limitations, and need for critical understanding when working with AI-generated diagrams, empowering teams to improve consistency, collaboration, and automation behind the scenes of architecture workflows.
