Level 1 — Entry¶
Who this is for
The simplest way to use Processor. Everything happens inside the Miro panel — you never leave Miro.
What you can do at this level
- Upload a transcript and find the processes in it.
- Draw a first-draft diagram for one process at a time onto your board.
Before you start: your access code, a transcript, and a Miro board with the Processor panel. (See Getting started for the basics.)
Quickstart¶
- Open the Processor panel in Miro and enter your access code (first time only).
- Paste or upload your interview transcript.
- Choose a target number of processes from the dropdown.
- Click Analyze. Processor reads the transcript and lists the processes it found.
- Under "2 - Select a process to draw", pick one process.
- Click "Draw selected (this will likely take a few minutes)".
- Processor works out the detail, builds the diagram, and draws it on your board.
Step-by-step¶
1. Analyze the transcript¶
Paste or upload the transcript, pick the target process count from the dropdown, and click Analyze. When it finishes, a green box shows "Found x process(es)." and the processes appear as a list.
2. Pick one process¶
The list lets you select one process at a time (a radio button — there's no "select all"). This keeps each diagram clean and avoids long waits.
3. Draw it¶
Click "Draw selected (this will likely take a few minutes)". At Level 1, Processor does the detailed analysis and builds the diagram at this moment, so the first draw of a process takes a little time. When it's done, the diagram appears on your current Miro board.
4. Draw another (or redraw)¶
Pick a different process and draw it the same way. Re-drawing a process you've already drawn reuses its diagram and costs nothing extra.
Tidy the diagram¶
The layout is generated automatically, so it's a sensible first pass you may want to nudge by hand in Miro — move a box, straighten a connector. That's expected: the diagram is a straw-man to refine, not a finished artefact.
Before you re-analyze or upload a new transcript¶
Re-running the analysis or uploading a new transcript clears the processes Processor generated (your transcript is kept). Processor warns you first and offers Download backup (zip) — take it if you might want that work later.
What's not at this level¶
The full website, choosing the AI model, file downloads/exports, and uploading your own .bpmn file are not part of Level 1. Those come with higher levels.
What Level 2 adds¶
Level 2 adds the website, where you can elaborate processes, read the detailed output, and download it as Markdown — see Level 2 — Standard.
Troubleshooting¶
- The draw takes a few minutes. Normal at Level 1 — the detail and the diagram are generated when you press draw.
- The diagram looks rough. It's a first draft; nudge it in Miro. See the FAQ.
