The canvas is where your creative work lives. It’s an infinite, zoomable workspace where you place reference images, arrange generated content, and build visual narratives spatially — instead of scrolling through a linear chat history.

​
Why a canvas

Most AI generation tools work like a chat window: you type a prompt, get a result, type another, and scroll back to find something from earlier. The canvas changes this by giving you a spatial workspace where every element stays visible, movable, and organized the way you want. This matters because creative work is nonlinear. You might want to compare five variations of a scene side by side, group character references together, or arrange a storyboard sequence across the canvas. The spatial layout makes these workflows natural.

​
Canvas tools

The toolbar at the top of the canvas provides:
  • Select — Click and drag to select, move, and resize elements
  • Pan — Hold and drag to move around the canvas, or scroll to zoom
  • Assets — Open the asset panel to upload and manage your reference material
  • Upload — Quickly upload an image or video file to the canvas
  • Text — Add text labels and annotations
  • Note — Add sticky notes for creative direction or reminders
  • Shapes — Access geometric shapes for visual planning

​
Elements

Elements are a special type of canvas object designed for AI-aware creative work. Each element has:
  • Name — A label you assign (e.g., “Main character”, “City backdrop”)
  • Type — One of three categories:
    • Character — A person, creature, or animated entity
    • Prop — An object or item in a scene
    • Scene — A background, environment, or setting
  • Voice — Optional voice assignment for characters (preset or custom)
When you chat with the AI agent, you can reference elements by name. The agent understands what each element looks like and uses that context for generation — keeping characters and props consistent across multiple shots.

​
Shapes

Beyond elements, the canvas includes geometric shapes for visual planning and layout: Rectangles, ellipses, triangles, diamonds, stars, hexagons, clouds, hearts, and more. Use these to sketch layouts, mark areas of interest, or create visual guides for your compositions.

​
Working with assets

Click the Assets button in the toolbar to open the asset panel. From here you can:
  • Upload images and videos from your device
  • Browse previously uploaded assets
  • Drag assets onto the canvas
Uploaded assets are analyzed by the vision engine to extract style, composition, and color information that improves AI generation.

​
Spatial organization tips

  • Group related elements — Place character references together, scene elements in another area, style references in another
  • Use frames — Frames act as containers that group elements visually
  • Zoom levels — Zoom out for the big picture, zoom in for detail work
  • Notes for context — Add sticky notes near elements to capture creative direction that the AI agent can reference
