Architecture Diagram Generation - an open question

A bit of an odd-ball question, but what are ye using for diagram generation, and are you using AI-type platforms to help.

I've never been good at generating diagrams from my architectures, and it's 100% the least favorite part of my job as an architect. I'm just not able to make anything look good. I've tried my best to keep it as basic as possible and been using Draw.io for the most part, but alas, it looks like the dogs breakfast on the best of days.

I had a look at two service now that will generate from prompt, both of which gave me some good, albeit different, visual styles from the same prompt. For the most part I am happy, but both of these don't get it quite exactly how I expect it, I am looking for something that I could export and then fine tune in Draw.io.

For some reference, I attached the output of both these services, along with the very basic example prompt I used. Of course, it is a very basic prompt, solely for the purpose of comparing apples with apples.

I guess my ask then:

Can you recommend any other AI-type services that I can use to generate an editable diagram (ideally draw.io, but Visio or other will be fine) that I can tweak and clean up specifically for Azure environments and services? Bonus points if I can import a technical spec or design document and it will generate a diagram based on that.

Thanks in advance
