AI BPMN-Style Process Map Generator

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is the industry standard for modeling business workflows. viz42 generates communication-focused, BPMN-style process maps from plain-language descriptions, with start/end events, tasks, gateways, swimlanes, and labeled flows. Output is editable Mermaid and React Flow content, not a formal BPMN 2.0 execution model or BPMN XML interchange artifact.

Common use cases

• Model approval and procurement processes
• Document customer onboarding workflows
• Map incident management procedures
• Communicate proposed business processes
• Create compliance process documentation

How viz42 helps

• Start/end events, tasks, and gateway node types
• BPMN-inspired exclusive and parallel decision flows
• Grouped steps and swimlanes for complex workflows
• AI validates endpoints, reachability, and branch structure

Example prompt

Employee expense approval process: employee submits expense report, manager reviews it, if under $500 auto-approve, if over $500 finance reviews, if approved process reimbursement, if rejected notify employee with reason

Frequently asked questions

Does viz42 generate official BPMN 2.0 notation?

No. viz42 generates BPMN-style process maps for communication and editing in Mermaid and React Flow. It does not currently produce standards-complete BPMN 2.0 models or BPMN XML for execution tooling.

Can I add swimlanes for different departments?

Mention the responsible department or role for each task in your prompt. viz42 will organize the diagram to reflect organizational responsibilities.

How complex can the process be?

viz42 handles multi-branch processes with parallel and exclusive gateways, sub-processes, timer events, and exception flows. Describe as much detail as needed.
