[QUICK_START]

Getting Started

01

CREATE_AN_ACCOUNT

Sign up with GitHub or Google at archdiagram.dev/signup. Complete the 3-step onboarding to set your cloud provider and role.

02

CREATE_A_DIAGRAM

Click NEW_DIAGRAM on the dashboard. Choose your diagram type and input method — describe with AI, upload an image, import IaC files, or start blank.

03

DESCRIBE_YOUR_ARCHITECTURE

Write a natural language description of your system. Be specific about services, databases, connections, and cloud providers. The AI generates Archway DSL automatically.

04

REFINE_WITH_AI

Use the AI bar (press /) to iteratively modify your diagram: "Add a Redis cache between the API and database", "Split the monolith into microservices".

05

EXPORT_AND_SHARE

Export to PNG, SVG, PDF, or code formats. Create share links with view/comment/edit access. Embed diagrams in your documentation.
