Merlio▲243Frustrated by AI assistants that can only suggest actions but never take them, I built Merlio (https://merlio.app) - an AI that generates charts, searches the web, creates images, and analyzes YouTube videos directly within conversations. Built with React, it functions as an AI hub providing access to multiple models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) through a unified interface. The custom LLM orchestration layer enables the AI to execute tools with proper parameters and process results while maintaining conversation flow. Users are visualizing data, generating designs, and summarizing…

Data visualizations are the bridge between user and data. But building AI agents that can generate visualizations reliably can be very tricky: - simple chart specs can be reliable, but generated charts are often of low quality due to reliance on system defaults; - complex chart specs with explicit details can produce good-looking charts, but they are verbose and agents can struggle with reliability We figured out it is a limitation on the language issue (not just AI capability thing) -- current visualization languages are a bit too low-level for AI agents, requiring them to explicitly make…

Line9 is a new rendering engine for Mermaid flowchart diagrams that aims to remove the need for manual adjustment of layout. Mermaid is a popular text-based language for describing multiple types of diagrams. Several Mermaid rendering engines already exist. Most, like the original mermaid.js, use Dagre or ELK graph drawing libraries to automatically lay out their diagrams. I’ve used Mermaid for the past four years but often recreated my flowcharts in a diagram editor so that I could modify the layout to something that better suited my needs. Use Line9 when you want an automatic flowchart…

During the implementation of a huge high performance service. In order to keep context small (mainly for humans) I kept the specs into mermaid diagrams. When communicating with humans; diagrams were easy to follow and to remember. But when I asked the agent to implement what's in the diagram, most of the times it failed. So I came into conclusion that agents are good into writing mermaid diagrams but they are not good into reading them. I built graph2agent in order to deterministically (without inference :) ) convert mermaid diagrams into digestible rich text for agents. examples:…

Hey HN, I built this tool because my personal diagramming workflow was broken, and I wanted to automate it. When creating diagrams, I have two conflicting needs. For logic and structure, I prefer Mermaid.js here. It’s deterministic, version-controllable, and lets me tweak the logic easily until it matches exactly what’s in my head. For aesthetics, I need the final result to look like a high-end infographic for presentations, which Mermaid (and standard tools) are bad at. Before Nanobanana Pro came out, AI image generation cannot generate good visual presentation for diagrams because it…
