Kanwas
FreemiumShared context workspace for product teams and AI agents to collaborate using specific company data.
About Kanwas
Kanwas is a shared context board and workspace designed specifically for product teams and AI agents. It serves as a living 'context brain' that holds a team's critical know-how, research, decisions, and data. Unlike traditional storage or isolated AI chats, Kanwas provides a spatial environment (canvas) where humans and AI agents collaborate. It integrates strategy docs, market signals, and agent workflows, allowing AI to execute tasks using real, specific company context rather than generic training data. The system is built on a Git-backed filesystem using plain .md files to ensure transparency and prevent vendor lock-in.
How to Use
Users start by connecting their existing tools like Slack, Linear, or Notion to pull in context. They use the canvas to organize docs, code, and tasks. Teams can then use AI agents, providing them with specific instructions and rules, to generate execution-ready deliverables based on the accumulated knowledge stored in the workspace.
