Something like the Live Trace tool in Illustrator but for simple shapes? Would be really interesting to try to build that.

Not sure what that is, but probably not -- it should be able to detect simple geometrical shapes (and label them), lines/arrows between shapes, and ofcourse text. Perhaps I'll try to build that :)

If you want to look at research papers for inspiration, the term to look for seems to be "sketch recognition". E.g. this paper for UML diagrams: https://www.aaai.org/Papers/Symposia/Spring/2002/SS-02-08/SS...
