What about using this tool as a collaboration tool for creating presentations?
At work I see a lot of presentations which are just not well designed - it makes it hard to follow the speaker.
It would be great to have an agent design a good presentation all within Kanvas where multiple people can interact with it in the creation process.

Interesting idea! Congrats on the launch

How does it work? Does it automatically sync from notion/other platforms, or we need to upload it by hands?

This is hitting on something I've been struggling with lately — the gap between where I store information and where my AI tools can actually access it meaningfully. Most knowledge bases feel like they're built for search, not for context.

Curious how the "workable context" plays out in practice. Like, if I'm feeding project background to Claude or GPT, does Kanwas help structure that handoff, or is it more about the team staying aligned first and AI access is secondary?

Also wondering how this compares to running something like Obsidian with plugins versus having this as a dedicated layer.

How do you combine all of this? For the memory to be complete, you would need to integrate with all corporate systems, and you would also need a bot for online meetings that extracts information from them. But then another problem appears: data confidentiality. How did you solve that?

The product looks great! What is the ideal first project to try in Kanwas? Product discovery, launch planning, competitor research? from a marketer angle :)

What does a Kanwas workspace look like after a project has been running for a month?

I’ve used this tool even before it went open source for a personal project of mine and will keep using it for everything else I will do in the future. Really can’t go back to the linearity of other LLM chats. Wish I had this at my previous company…

imo it really addresses my pain when asking for all of my team, jump in a call to get everything cleared. I wished there is some tools to have all of member's knowledge and context and here we go!! congrats on the launch

This feels especially powerful for solo founders juggling multiple agents. Keeping everything aligned without constant repetition is a huge win.

love that it’s fully editable. my biggest fear with "ai brains" is when they hallucinate a decision we never actually made. being able to step in and refine the context keeps the agents from going off the rails. @johancutych

the human + agent angle is exactly the gap right now. most teams have context scattered across notion, slack, docs, claude projects, and neither humans nor agents can really use it well. excited to try this. congrats on the launch @johancutych

This is for sure worth looking into. What I worry about is the space getting overfilled with content which becomes irrelevant over time. How do you plan to solve this issue?

I built something like this internally for our team - literally called it our Brain. The idea was they can use that context in Claude though and build skills against it, etc.

Is that possible, or can you only execute tasks within Kanwas? I love the idea of a Brain we can all visualise & collaboratively maintain/iterate in here but then use in claude.

Hey product people. I am in charge of the canvas interface of Kanwas.

Kanwas is built with the idea of moving from chats to shared spatial context space, where you, your team, and your agents can work together and build on top of it.

My favourite part is being able to control context in the easy way, starting from scratch, or starting from yesterdays research, or just cross referencing latest positioning angle with the newest competitor updates.

From the start of building it we are using it as team, and collaborating through all the challenges, from working on strategy and gtm, to updating feature specs, doing users insights from the posthog events and user calls, and even doing this product hunt launch.

Happy to see you using it and getting the feedback! Here to answer any question!
