Flowcharts are extremely helpful in communicating and training people on standard operating procedures (SOPs). However, they are time-consuming to create and maintain. In the past, to make a flowchart, you’d need to manually create process shapes, drag-and-drop arrows across the process shapes, and label and color-code everything for hours on end.
But not anymore! Miro, a no-code process visualization tool, has an AI creation and editing feature that makes turning process documents into visualizations a breeze. In this tutorial, we’re going to use Miro’s AI tools to transform an SOP document into a flowchart and embed it back into the SOP document.
You could use a tool like Napkin AI or Claude to create flowcharts from SOP documents as well, but across all our testing, we found Miro’s AI for this workflow to be the best, not only for its speed but its accuracy and flowchart editing capabilities as well, which is extremely important for this type of use case.
Steps we’ll follow in this tutorial:
- Create, collect, and organize your SOPs
- Prompt Miro with your SOP
- Edit your flowchart
- Export your flowchart and embed it into your SOP
Let’s dive in!
