For you, your agent, your coworker and their agent. It holds the team's critical know-how, research, decisions and data. But it's not a dead storage. It's a workspace that makes the context workable for humans as well as agents.
@lakshminath_dondeti Yes, you have a filesystem where you can organize the knowledge and agant can naturally navigate it based on your instructions. You can select specific documents and the agent knows to focus on these. You can also create fully separate workspaces.
@lakshminath_dondeti from my perspective controlling the context is the most powerful part of Kanwas. By default it sees the active canvas where you are positioned when you trigger the agent, but you can pull anything from workspace, complete other canvases/folders or just file that lives in other canvas/folder. Also you can select only the group of files you want to work on, or even just one sentance from the document, or of course start fully from scratch.
@lakshminath_dondeti Yeah! Best thing to do is to select files / folders you want to work with. Just like you would in claude code for example. You can even select lines of text and work on that.

Where does Kanwas fit if we use Notion for docs and Linear for tickets?
@jakub_brabec depends on how exactly you use them. From what I hear from our users Notion is often a graveyard of docs and Linear is tasks.
Kanwas is the place where you figure out the WHAT. the messy middle. The place where you pull research, your own idea, user calls and data and start working on top of that, together with AI.
If output is like PRD it can go into Notion, if its a clear spec for coding agent Kanwas can push it to Linear.
You can then keep the traces that lead you to decision in a board so you can come back to them later or let Kanwas tidy it up and update the brain for lasting context

@johancutych thanks, that makes sende. Can Kanwas also somehow transform Notion insight graveyard into something usable? Do you guys have some connect and go mechanisms to triage combo of poor & quality input data? Also from Chorus or Zoom?
@jakub_brabec actually yeah! we have 1k+ connections so you can connect notion/chorus/zoom and tell Kanwas to fetch anything you need into kanwas to make it into a living context graph
triage combo will come with scheduled tasks where you can setup a an agent doing the triage and keep Kanwas context tight
@jakub_brabec 2 things. Kanwas in the end is just of plan files (markdown, yaml, etc...) you can import and export and work with locally. Thats great if you want to use multiple agents.
But also kanwas is a much nicer place to think. It makes it easy to create 10 different versions of your doc and compare them side by side and let agent work on all of them. It lets you explore tradeoffs, new ideas and brainstorm in a much more productive and fun way.
@jakub_brabec Kanwas is more focused on active work with the AI agent, you can for example work on brainstorming session with a team on live call, craft a new copy for landing page, do some competitor research and then use the CLI and connections to store the artifacts in Notion and create tickets for Linear.
@german_merlo1 Hey Germán, so far Kanwas is completely free including all the used tokens. Also completely open source. The business model isn't yet decided. At this stage we want to learn as much as we can from our users.
@german_merlo1 Thank you for the support! At some point we will need to introduce the limits per tokens on free accounts, but first we are trying to understand the usage and patterns, gather as much feedback as possible.
Currently vibecoding my own app and constantly losing context across chat sessions relevant info gets buried in history and I can't find it again. This is exactly what I've been missing. Great job, guys 🙌
@ondrejvostarek Nice, there is a native connection to Claude Code or Codex through the CLI tool + skill. Give it a try, you can capture the any context that needs to be stored just by asking the local agent. And you can easily share it with others. Personally it's my favourite feature.
@ondrejvostarek Thank you Ondrej! Would love to see you using Kanwas and hear what you think!

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 :)
@myriam_cohen Thanks! Happy that you like it. The best way to start is to complete the onboarding it will let you select your first task based on your company context. For starter tasks its good to pick something simple that doesn't require a ton of context like competitor research. :)
@myriam_cohen Good to see you guys from Anima here! Loving Anima btw!! :))
I would recommend two starting points - a product discovery, just putting all the inspirations, research, thoughts from whole team into a single board and work over that with agents until direction clicks.
or for launches haha! :) we used it to prepare for our product hunt launch, all the messagings, checklists and research in a single spot for the whole team.
@myriam_cohen Thank you for support! 💛 product discovery is great use case, you can start just with dumping your thoughts or bringing latest user feedback, and keep going!
@myriam_cohen thank you! I would for example try a deep research on what customers over the internet say abroad competitors and look at the landing page copy if that can be reflected there, the patterns
Not sponsored or anything: Been using this thing for a while, and LOVE it :) it helped a lot with getting my thoughts in order and writing great strategic docs :)

@lakshminath_dondeti sure you can literally select any doc, or even a line of text and work over that :)

@jakub_brabec In a way your notion final files can now live in Kanwas and supply the context of the workspace

Hey Johan! It's super cool. What about the business model? Is it a monthly subscription or is a token related?
Kanwas
@german_merlo1 we are still not clear on that
Kanwas
@german_merlo1 For now its free since we want to gather feedback. Based on that we will decide on pricing.
