The importance of visual modelling languages in generative software engineering

Multimodal GPTs represent a watershed in the interplay between Software Engineering and Generative Artificial Intelligence. GPT-4 accepts image and text inputs, rather than simply natural language. We investigate relevant use cases stemming from these enhanced capabilities of GPT-4. To the best of our knowledge, no other work has investigated similar use cases involving Software Engineering tasks carried out via multimodal GPTs prompted with a mix of diagrams and natural language.
