I tried to find them on GitHub. Doesn&#x27;t seem to be FOSS&#x2F;OSS either.<p>Does address a real use-case - might be great as a library or a lightweight alternative to Mermaid.<p>As SaaS it&#x27;s a very hard sell.

I’ve found that Claude can make decent mermaid diagrams pretty reliably. Not sure I quite understand what problem Zindex solves

Zindex is a stateful diagram runtime for agents. Agents create diagrams by sending structured operations through the Diagram Scene Protocol (DSP) - the platform validates, normalizes, and renders durable scene state rather than one-shot output.
