# Importing with AI

> Turning documents, images and existing diagrams into blueprints.

AI import reads source material and produces a blueprint: a diagram, plus the
prose around it.

## What it accepts

Documents, images of diagrams, and diagram files in formats that can be parsed.
An image of a whiteboard becomes an editable diagram rather than a picture of
one.

## What you get

A draft, owned by you, private until you publish it. Nothing is published
automatically.

Icons are resolved against the icon packs where the source suggests a
recognisable vendor or service, so an imported cloud diagram arrives with the
right marks rather than grey boxes.

## Review it

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Check the result against the source before publishing. Import infers
> structure, and inference is occasionally confidently wrong. The failure mode
> is a diagram that looks plausible and says something untrue.

## Bulk

[Bulk import](/foliums/blueprintr-user-guide/organise/importing-content) runs the same
conversion across many files, with a mapping step first.
