Lucidchart Mermaid UML Support

Regarding ChatGPT and Mermaid charts.

Nicest thing about mermaid is that it's just plain old text so AI can generate it. 
The trick is to prompt the model with the right questions and double check syntax which is very poor at times.
I was experimenting with OpenAI API and started getting some great results (when it was free).
Calling the API from a script allows you to control the output and get better results.

You can try it using the following ChatGPT prompt:
Generate the correct mermaid syntax to represent the following sentence in a diagram. Please check the correct syntax for mermaid ClassDiagram. "The cat is in the car. The car is parked inside the garage which is attached to the house"

ChatGPT Returns:

classDiagram
  class Cat {
    -location: Car
  }

  class Car {
    -location: Garage
  }

  class Garage {
    -attachment: House
  }

  class House {
    // House properties and methods
  }

  Cat --> Car: is in
  Car --> Garage: is parked inside
  Garage --> House: attached to

Hello

I'd also like mermaid code support!

I also vote for mermaid support

+1 for mermaid support 

My vote added for Mermaid Integration. GPT 4 can be tricked into portable code via matplotlib or graphx but Mermaid / C4 / Elixir integrations are all text friendly and easy for GPT to generate.

Thanks for this additional context @tom h103!

Hi everyone! I’m a Product Manager at Lucid and my team is exploring options for Mermaid support. I would love to talk to users who use Mermaid today to learn from you and build to your needs. If anyone here is open to a 30 minute conversation, please reply or like this post and I can reach out to you. Thank you!

I would love to see Mermaid support for process diagrams. Many tools can generate Mermaid code, and being able to bring those diagrams into Lucid for further editing would be awesome. If it could be bidirectional, that would be even better. I use Obsidian and being able to transfer some version of the Lucidchart as an editable diagram in Obsidian would be amazing.

I am open to further conversations about this feature.

100% Agreed. I really need this for presenting diagrams in Lucidchart. Presenting them through Github is not exactly pretty. At this point most of the diagrams in the organizations we work with are generated through automation, and mermaid helps keep that up to date and dynamically updated. Lucidchart becomes a tool for presenting to executives and over meetings and lets us brainstorm together with ideas, changes, etc.

Lucidchart integration with Mermaid would make it more useful, and further integration with Github, with perhaps pointing to a repo to pick up the latest diagram would be a gamechanger. 

Hi Chloe, let’s talk, if you’re still looking for input. If you let me know what info you’re looking for, I’ll gather it from my org’s team.
