An AI-powered visual workspace where teams think, plan, and build together
An infinite multiplayer board where cursors, comments, and live editing let remote and hybrid teams work in the same space simultaneously.
Docs, Tables, Slides, Kanban, and Timelines live alongside freeform drawing so a workshop can turn directly into a structured plan.
Generate diagrams, tables, and summaries, remove image backgrounds, and connect external AI assistants through the MCP server.
6,000-7,000+ templates for brainstorming, workshops, roadmapping, and process mapping give teams a running start.

AI research platform for reading, understanding and writing scientific papers
Open or upload a paper and ask questions, get plain-language explanations of highlighted passages, and pull out methods, results and limitations conversationally.
Search a large scholarly index spanning Google Scholar, PubMed and arXiv, then generate structured literature reviews and related-work sections from what you find.
An AI Writer for drafts, a paraphraser for academic tone, and a citation generator that formats references in popular styles.
Turn tables and results in a paper into structured data, and check whether a manuscript reads as AI-generated with a built-in detector.
