This paper presents an investigation of the capabilities of Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) to auto-generate graphical process models from multi-modal (i.e., text- and image-based) inputs. More precisely, we first introduce a small dataset as well as a set of evaluation metrics that allow for a ground truth-based evaluation of multi-modal process model generation capabilities. We then conduct an initial evaluation of commercial GPT capabilities using zero-, one-, and few-shot prompting strategies. Our results indicate that GPTs can be useful tools for semi-automated process modeling based on multi-modal inputs. More importantly, the dataset and evaluation metrics as well as the open-source evaluation code provide a structured framework for continued systematic evaluations moving forward.
