Spine Canvas: Unlimited Visual Workspace for AI Thinking

tl;dr: Chat is great for Q&A, but real work isn’t linear.

Spine Canvas is an unlimited, visual AI workspace that lets you orchestrate 300+ models with a single subscription, think in blocks (Chat, Deep Research, Memo, Image, Slides), branch safely, run in parallel, and keep explicit context across everything.

❌ The Problem

Most AI tools force thinking into a chat thread. That breaks down for real work:

• Superficial and linear: useful for one-off answers, weak for exploration and synthesis
• Context evaporates: sources get buried; you can’t see what informed which step
• No safe branching: testing alternatives means losing your original path (or forking tabs)
• No parallelism: ideas wait in line; you can’t spin up multiple streams at once
• Tool sprawl: one app for research, another for writing, another for images — context gets lost between multiple AI subscriptions

If you’re doing market/competitive research, strategy, content systems, or product planning, you need an environment that reflects how thinking actually happens: exploratory, non-linear, and iterative.

💡 Our Solution: Canvas, Not Chat

Spine Canvas is a visual workspace where your ideas are blocks connected by explicit context. You can see, direct, branch, and re-run your thinking — across hundreds of models — without losing your train of thought.

What you can do today:

Orchestrate 300+ models with a single subscription

GPT‑5, Claude, Gemini, Qwen, Flux, Nano Banana, and more — pick the right model per step and switch mid‑flow without losing context.

Think in blocks, not threads

Chat, Prompt, Deep Research, Memo, Image, Slides — each block has an explicit role and visual inputs/outputs, so chains stay modular and interpretable.

Organize and (explicitly) utilize all your content in a single workspace

Paste or drop in PDFs, YouTube links, webpages, and even past LLM chats. Wire them into any block and control exactly what each step uses.

Branch safely and compare

Explore alternatives without corrupting your original path. Keep versions side‑by‑side and merge insights when you’re ready.

Run in parallel

Take a list (competitors, themes, tasks) and spin out multiple research streams, drafts, or visuals at once.

Re‑run and evolve

Update one block and cascade improvements through an entire branch. Iteration becomes automatic and reproducible.

💼 Real Canvases Teams Are Building

• Market deep‑dives that flow into competitor profiles, battlecards, and executive memos — in minutes, not days
• Content engines that turn one source into outlines, drafts, and platform‑ready assets (with visuals)
• Founder/product strategy rooms mapping interviews (YouTube + PDFs) → insights → counterpoints → product bets → launch plans
• Creative labs exploring concepts, visual directions, and brand systems
• Learning hubs with curated sources, summaries, and living notes

⚙️ Why This Matters

• Transparency: See what each block knows — no black-box memory.
• Control: Direct sources by domain, date, or type; include your own docs and past chats.
• Speed: Complex, multi-step work finishes in minutes and stays repeatable.
• Flexibility: Model-agnostic orchestration keeps your workflow stable as models evolve.
• Complete: Do everything from research to generating presentation slides, images, copy drafts, all without switching tools.

Chat works for Q&A. Canvas is for thinking.

🤝 Ask

• Try using a canvas for thinking instead of linear chat threads – build one real workflow (research → memo, content engine, or strategy room) and tell us what clicked.
• Share with teams who live in research, strategy, content, product or learnOps – we’re eager to add more templates based on your feedback.
• YC community: we’re always happy to chat about getting the best thinking out of your AI models — visually for individual workflows, and structurally through company-wide templates.
