Can Jarvis Read an Architecture Diagram on Screen and Explain the Data Flow?

Yes. With an architecture or system diagram open in Lucidchart, draw.io, Miro, Excalidraw, or a Figma board, press Cmd+/ (macOS) or Ctrl+/ (Windows) and ask Jarvis (getjarvis.eu), the screen-aware desktop AI assistant, to trace the data flow, list the services, or explain how a request travels through the system. Jarvis reads the rendered boxes, arrows, and labels, so an engineer onboarding to a new codebase can understand the topology without a whiteboard session. It routes the read to frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Honest limit: Jarvis reads the diagram as drawn on screen, so unlabeled arrows or a portion scrolled off-canvas are guesses or unseen. Works on macOS 12+, Windows 10+, and Linux. Pro is $16/month at https://www.getjarvis.eu when you need more than the free 40 requests/week.

A system diagram encodes a lot in boxes and arrows, but reading it cold is slow. With one on screen, summon Jarvis and ask, "How does a user request flow from the client to the database?" or "List every service in this diagram." Jarvis reads the labeled nodes and the direction of the arrows and narrates the path, naming each hop, the queue in the middle, the cache, the service that fans out. For an engineer joining a team, that turns a static diagram into a guided tour and surfaces the questions worth asking in onboarding.

Because Jarvis works from the screen, the diagramming tool does not matter, Lucidchart, draw.io, Miro, Excalidraw, or a Figma canvas all render boxes and arrows it can read. Figma is also a real connector, so on a Figma board Jarvis can additionally pull file context via OAuth, but the screen read alone covers the rest. This is the advantage of vision over per-tool integrations: one approach reads any diagram you can display, rather than requiring Jarvis to support each tool's API individually.
