Overview
Ask Vinyl isn't just a Q&A tool — it can also generate visual diagrams based on what was discussed in your meetings. If you discussed an entity structure, a decision process, a workflow, or a complex relationship, you can ask Ask Vinyl to turn it into a visual diagram.
What types of diagrams can Ask Vinyl create?
Ask Vinyl supports a wide range of diagram types, including:
Entity relationship diagrams — useful for mapping client structures, related entities, trusts, and corporate groups
Decision flowcharts — great for mapping out a process or decision tree discussed in the meeting
Workflow / sequence diagrams — visualise a step-by-step process or system interaction
Mind maps — summarise key themes and ideas from a meeting visually
SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) — if you've walked through a process in a meeting, Ask Vinyl can document it visually
User permission diagrams — map out roles and access levels discussed
Product / project roadmaps — visualise timelines and priorities mentioned in the meeting
If you're not sure what would be most useful, you can ask Ask Vinyl to suggest diagram types based on your meeting content.
How to create a diagram
Open a meeting in Vinyl and click the Ask Vinyl tab on the right
Type a prompt describing what you want, for example:
"Can you create an entity structure diagram based on what we discussed?"
"Create a decision flowchart for the tax planning process we talked through."
"Build a mind map of the key themes from this meeting."
"Draft an SOP based on the onboarding process we described."
Ask Vinyl will generate the diagram directly in the chat window
If the result isn't quite right, refine your prompt and Ask Vinyl will regenerate it
Saving your diagrams
Once you're happy with a diagram, you can:
Screenshot it — the quickest way to grab it for use elsewhere
Download as PDF — available for most diagram outputs
Copy the content — paste into an email, document, or client note
Diagrams are also stored in your Past Chats within that meeting, so you can come back and find them later.
Tips for getting the best results
The more detail discussed in the meeting, the better the diagram will be. Ask Vinyl draws directly from the transcript.
Be specific in your prompt — "entity structure diagram" will produce a more targeted result than "create a diagram".
You can combine multiple meetings in one Ask Vinyl session and ask for a diagram that spans all of them.
If you want to see what's possible, ask: "What diagram types could you create from this meeting?" — Ask Vinyl will suggest the most relevant options based on your content.
