CollabCanvas

Overview

CollabCanvas turns group ideation into structured creation. Teams work together on an infinite canvas with AI helping to organize, suggest, and fill gaps—ideal for remote work, clubs, or creative friends.

The Challenge

Remote collaboration tools often feel rigid or overwhelming. CollabCanvas needed fluidity and intelligence. Key challenges included:

• Enabling smooth real-time multi-user editing
• Integrating helpful AI without overpowering human input
• Handling diverse project types (mind maps, prototypes, notes)
• Maintaining performance on large, complex canvases

Our Solution
