Eraser is an AI diagramming tool for engineers and architects that turns text prompts, code, and files into production-ready technical diagrams and documentation.
About
Eraser is an AI-powered diagramming and technical documentation tool aimed at engineering teams that need to produce architecture diagrams, design docs, and system maps quickly. Instead of dragging shapes around a canvas, users describe what they need in text, paste code such as Terraform, or upload files, and Eraser generates a laid-out diagram that can then be refined manually or through AI chat.
The product, made by Eraser Labs, combines a diagram-as-code approach with an AI assistant, a visual canvas editor, and an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) toolkit that lets agents in tools like Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT create, update, and export diagrams. It also supports standardization through team-defined rules, styles, and templates, so generated diagrams stay consistent with an organization's notation and brand. The company states it serves more than 5,000 customers and targets software engineers, enterprise architects, DevOps teams, and technology consultants.

Who It's For
Eraser is built for software engineers, enterprise architects, DevOps teams, and technology consultants who need to produce architecture diagrams, design docs, documentation, data flow diagrams, wireframes, and brainstorming visuals. It suits teams that want to standardize notation across many diagrams, keep diagrams grounded in their actual codebase and infrastructure, or let AI agents maintain documentation automatically. Organizations with strict security requirements — such as those needing SAML SSO, SOC 2 certification, or self-hosting — are also addressed through the Business and Enterprise plans.
