AI-Assisted Process Modeling

Process documentation is often the slowest part of any improvement, transformation, or standardization effort. Workshops produce notes and whiteboard sketches, legacy diagrams sit in Visio files, and turning all of that into consistent, usable process models takes time many teams don't have.

GlobeArc uses AI to speed up that work without giving up control. Teams can describe a process in plain English and receive a BPMN model as a starting point, bring existing Visio diagrams into the repository, ask questions about process information in natural language, and use AI to help compare process models. Every generated model is reviewed and validated before it becomes part of the repository.

A process owner or analyst describes how the work happens, in their own words. Inside GlobeArc, choose Generate from description from the New Business Process menu, or use a compatible AI assistant such as Claude, Copilot, or Gemini. GlobeArc turns that description into a proposed BPMN process model the team can review and refine, rather than starting every diagram from an empty canvas.

The generated model isn't silently saved as the official process. Users can review, edit, save, or discard it, and the model passes through GlobeArc's process validation before it becomes part of the repository.

Yes. Existing Visio diagrams can be imported and converted into BPMN process models in GlobeArc, so years of process documentation doesn't have to be redrawn by hand. Once imported, the process becomes part of the connected repository, where lanes and activities can be linked to real stakeholders, organizational units, locations, and applications. Choose Import from Visio from the New Business Process menu.

BPMN model comparison in GlobeArc highlights matched, renamed, changed, added, and removed elements between two process versions, whether that's Current versus Target or one location's variant against the global standard. Teams choose the comparison strategy that fits: Deterministic, AI, or Hybrid, which runs the deterministic comparison first and then AI. AI assistance can then help explain what changed and point teams to the differences that deserve a closer look.

Asking a question and changing a process model carry different levels of risk, so GlobeArc keeps them on separately permissioned pathways. Querying is read-only. Creating a process model uses a narrower, process-specific permission, and every generated model is validated before it is saved. The Secure Enterprise AI page explains these controls in more detail.

Through GlobeArc's MCP connection, compatible AI assistants can answer questions using the process and architecture information inside a GlobeArc workspace. Instead of learning the metamodel or building a query, users can start with the business question.

Examples include:

GlobeArc doesn’t run your business processes. Its role is to help teams capture, connect, and understand their processes faster.

Business and Process Analysts use AI-assisted modeling to capture processes quickly from workshops, interviews, and existing documentation. Process Owners and Process Managers review and approve the resulting models and use plain-English questions to understand how their processes connect to the wider organization.

Business Architects and Enterprise Architects benefit from process information that is connected to the rest of the architecture from the start.

Request a demo to describe a process in plain English, watch it become a connected BPMN model, and ask questions about your process information with the built-in Ask feature or through a compatible AI assistant.
