Capable Diagrams puts real diagramming inside Confluence. Draw one by hand in draw.io or Excalidraw, write one as text in Mermaid or PlantUML, model a process properly in BPMN or DMN, or describe what you want and let the AI assistant draft it. Whichever way you make it, the diagram lives on the page, stays editable, and travels into exports and published sites.

#Three ways to make a diagram

Most diagramming tools give you one. The reason this app has three is that the right one depends entirely on what you are drawing, and teams rarely draw only one kind of thing.

Way in

Best for

Where to look

Draw it

Architecture, network maps, floor plans, anything where position carries meaning. draw.io for precision, Excalidraw when it should look hand-drawn.

Guides

Write it

Sequence diagrams, flowcharts, ER models, Gantt charts. Anything that should be diffable in review and regenerate itself when the text changes.

Reference

Model it

Business processes and decision tables that have to follow a standard notation, not just look like one.
