The Canvas
The infinite, collaborative space where all your thinking lives — as connected nodes.
The canvas is the home of every workspace. Instead of documents and folders, your work lives as nodes — cards for evidence, problems, personas, briefs, designs, outcomes, and more — connected by edges that show how they relate.
Why spatial?
Product thinking is rarely linear. The canvas lets you see relationships at a glance: which evidence led to which problem, which problem produced which PRD, which decision is being measured by which outcome. You can pan, zoom, group, and rearrange freely.
Nodes and edges
You rarely place nodes by hand. Agents and chat spawn them for you, already connected to their sources.
Onboarding a new PM in five minutes, not five meetings
A team lead handing off a project
The situation. A new PM joins mid-project. Normally that means a week of catch-up calls and digging through scattered docs to understand why decisions were made.
What they do
- 1Instead, they open the workspace canvas.
- 2They see evidence at the left, the ranked problems it produced, the PRD derived from the top one, and the outcome tracking its result — all connected.
- 3Hovering any node highlights what it came from and what came out of it.
The result. In minutes the new PM understands not just the current plan but the reasoning and evidence behind it — because the canvas is the team’s thinking made visible, not a folder of files.
Lesson: structure emerges, you don’t impose it
- What it is
- You don’t start with an empty grid to fill in. Agents and chat create nodes already connected to their sources, so the canvas builds its own structure as you work.
- Why it matters
- Blank-canvas tools put the burden of organization on you. Here the connections come for free — which is what makes the whole thing traceable and navigable later.
Don’t over-organize early. Let the work spawn nodes, then group and arrange only when it helps you think.
