Abstract
Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe natural language translation capabilities that enable automated process flow diagram generation from received input. Input may be received through an application for automated generation of a process flow diagram. The received input may be provided to a natural language processing component of a language understanding intelligence service. A data object, received from the natural language processing component, may be accessed. The data object provides data for creation of a process flow diagram based on the received input. In examples, the data object is generated based on natural language processing by the natural language processing component and at least one user defined grammar rule, provided by the application, for converting the received input to one or more process flow steps. The process flow diagram may be presented within the application. Other examples are also described such as reverse engineering an existing process flow diagram.
