I see AI in Excalidraw more as a 0 to 60% helper — great for kickstarting diagrams, but not something I rely on for full end-to-end interaction. When you iterate too much, it tends to go off track and produce some odd results.
That said, with a well-crafted system prompt, you could probably reduce the weirdness and guide it better for specific diagram use cases. I haven’t explored that deeply yet, but it’s definitely an area worth experimenting with!
Love it! How complex can the excalidraw diagrams get when using AI?

It supports a lot more use cases than mermaid with a similar text based syntax
