Getting started

This page covers the basics every Processor user needs, whatever your level. For the step-by-step workflow at your level, follow the link at the bottom.

What Processor does

You give Processor an interview transcript. It reads the transcript, identifies the business processes described, and draws a first-draft process diagram for each one on your Miro board.

A starting point, not a finished artefact

The diagrams are a straw-man — a revisable first draft you tidy before showing a client. Processor saves you the blank canvas; you still apply your own judgement.

Before you start

You'll need three things:

  • A Processor access code (your administrator gives you one).
  • An interview transcript (plain text you can paste or upload).
  • A Miro board open, with the Processor panel.

Sign in with your access code

The first time you open the panel, enter your access code. Processor remembers it on that browser, so you won't re-enter it each time. The same code also signs you in on the website (for Level 2 and above).

To switch accounts or sign out, use the Log out button in the panel.

Your balance

Processor runs on a small prepaid balance set by your administrator. The LLM work draws it down as you go. You can see your remaining balance in both the Miro panel and on the website. Re-drawing a process you've already drawn reuses its diagram and costs nothing extra.

The basic workflow

  1. Upload a transcript — paste it in or upload the file.
  2. Choose how many processes to look for — pick a target range from the dropdown.
  3. Analyze — Processor finds the candidate processes and lists them.
  4. Draw — pick a process and Processor draws its diagram on your board. You draw one process at a time.

What happens behind the scenes is a three-step pipeline — identify → elaborate → generate the diagram — and where those steps run depends on your level. See the Diagrams page for the visual version, and your level guide for the exact clicks.

Keep a backup before you reset

This matters for everyone:

Re-analyzing or uploading a new transcript clears your results

If you re-run the analysis or upload a new transcript, Processor deletes the processes and diagrams it generated for the current transcript. (Your transcript itself is always kept.) Before that happens, Processor warns you and offers a one-click Download backup (zip) — take it if you might want that work later.

Finding your way around

  • The version of Processor is shown in the panel and on the website, so you can tell which build you're on.
  • Not sure what your level can do? See Which level am I?.
  • Stuck? See the FAQ & troubleshooting.
