    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides an open-source desktop app enabling collaborative software design with human and AI agents on a shared visual canvas.
    • Integrates semantic, AST-aware diff viewing and direct code navigation from diagrams, enhancing clarity and reducing noise in code reviews.
    • Use for architecting and reviewing API changes interactively with AI-generated diagrams and explanations.
    • Use for analyzing telemetry changes in codebases to understand tracking, error handling, and dashboard construction.
    • Use for maintaining a decision log that links agent-generated design traces to implementation for transparent autonomous decision tracking.

    From the README

    an open-source canvas for thoughtful software design

    Whiteboard is an open-source desktop app where humans and agents can architect software together in a common workspace.

    Whiteboard plugs into the tools you already use - e.g. Claude Code, Codex, etc. – and gives your agent an SDK to draw on an in-app canvas to describe its work.

    Here’s a 1 min demo video explaining more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChPn3ftULWE

    In our experience, Whiteboard works best with models like GPT-6 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 for their intelligence, cost, and speed tradeoff.
