I tried to find them on GitHub. Doesn't seem to be FOSS/OSS either.
Does address a real use-case - might be great as a library or a lightweight alternative to Mermaid.
As SaaS it's a very hard sell.
I’ve found that Claude can make decent mermaid diagrams pretty reliably. Not sure I quite understand what problem Zindex solves

When doing this, do you give it a codebase and ask for a diagram, or is it more of an iterative back-and-forth where you describe the system to it.
I just use D2 for this.
Zindex is a stateful diagram runtime for agents. Agents create diagrams by sending structured operations through the Diagram Scene Protocol (DSP) - the platform validates, normalizes, and renders durable scene state rather than one-shot output.
how does Zindex compares to Mermaid?
