Shipped 2026-07-12 · Notes You can now ask Bird to diagram something in a note — “draw the CRISPR workflow”, “sketch the assay steps as a flowchart”, “show the PCR cycle” — and it adds a real, editable diagram right where you’re working, not a flat picture.

What’s new

Ask Bird, in a note, to diagram a process, pathway, cycle, mechanism, or comparison. It reads the note for the entities involved and lays them out for you. The result is a real diagram, identical to one you’d draw by hand — click it to open the editor and move, relabel, recolour, or extend anything. Nodes are colour-coded by meaning (proteins, complexes, inputs and outputs, critical steps, alternative pathways), with labelled arrows, grouped sections, and compartments. Bird picks one of three layouts — a top-down flow, side-by-side columns, or a cycle ring — and you can ask for a different one.

How it works

Describe what you want in plain language while viewing a note. Bird writes a compact description of the diagram — the boxes, how they connect, and how they group — and Bower turns that into the drawing and drops it into the note. Because it’s an ordinary diagram block, everything about it is yours to edit afterwards; Bird just gives you the first draft.

Good to know

  • Diagrams capture relationships between labelled things. For plotting data (yields, time-series), ask for a chart instead — Bird already does those.
  • Bird draws into the note you’re viewing, so ask it while a note is open.
  • You can keep iterating: “add a step after annealing”, “group the assembly parts”, “make it a cycle” — or just edit the diagram directly.
