Release notes
Problem to solve
Mermaid charts (and other chart variants) are hard to write in Markdown.
Proposal
Provide a textual interface to describe a workflow, and generate Markdown charts. GitLab Duo Chat supports this already, but a deeper UI integration would be great -- i.e. through the Rich text editor.
Future idea: Ask GitLab Duo Chat to analyse the current project and files, and create communication workflow charts for example. Or OOP relationship models with extended descriptions on what these relationships actually mean.
Idea is inspired by excalidraw, showing how to use text-to-chart using AI. Example with the OCI image spec workflow: https://twitter.com/lorenc_dan/status/1729531790065361400?s=66
Intended users
Developers, documentation team members, platform engineers.
