## What the models said about draw.io

- "Avoid using general diagramming tools for org charts ... these lack org-specific layout automation. Creating messy connector routing in dense charts is a common problem." (MiniMax M2.5, negative prompt, hard negative)
- "tools like draw.io, Google Drawings, Miro, and sometimes Creately are often described as manual diagramming tools ... they do not provide strong native HR-to-org-chart automation" (Perplexity Sonar, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "start with draw.io (free) or Canva (free tier) for basic needs" (MiniMax M2.5, budget prompt, first choice)
- "Start with draw.io if you're comfortable building charts manually" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, budget prompt, first choice)
- "Start with draw.io—it's versatile, powerful, and zero cost/risk." (Grok 4.1 Fast, budget prompt, first choice)

## What the models said about Miro

- "Miro, FigJam, or basic PowerPoint decks. *   Why to avoid: While great for collaboration, these lack "governance features"" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, negative prompt, hard negative)
- "manual diagramming tools that can produce org charts, but they do not provide strong native HR-to-org-chart automation" (Perplexity Sonar, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "more robust and data-driven than a simple static diagramming tool (like PowerPoint, Miro, or Lucidchart)" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, paraphrase prompt, soft negative)
- "My top pick for most mid-sized B2B companies: Start with Miro for visual org design + RACI" (Mistral Small, paraphrase prompt, first choice)
- "is Organimi, Miro, Lucidchart, or Visme, as they offer affordable monthly fees" (Llama 4 Maverick, budget prompt, first choice)
- "For more affordable options, Organimi, Miro, Lucidchart, and Visme are also recommended" (Mistral Small, direct prompt, alternative)
