The canvas

One tool. One canvas. Three modes.

The pitch isn’t feature-parity with Figma + Notion + Miro — it’s replacing the ‘which version is current’ Slack thread with a single source of truth.

  • Designs + docs + whiteboards · one canvas
    Stop tab-switching. Design files, rich docs, infinite whiteboards — all in the same project, with the same shortcuts and the same review surface.
  • Multiplayer that actually works
    Real-time multi-cursor on every canvas type. Voice + video built in. Smooth on flaky WiFi — local CRDT sync, conflict-free merges.
  • Reviews + handoff in one tool
    Threaded comments on any artboard, doc paragraph, or whiteboard region. Devs get clean specs + assets — not a Slack thread.

The way each role uses Cohere

For designers
For PMs + product
For engineers

Vector tools that don’t feel like 2018.

Auto-layout, Variables 2.0 with multi-mode + computed values, branching + merge, prototypes that run on real devices. Imports from Figma + Sketch are lossless.

  • Auto-layout with sane defaults
  • Components + variants + Variables 2.0
  • Prototypes embed in docs · run on real devices
  • Lossless Figma + Sketch import
  • Branching + merge with conflict resolution
  • Plugin SDK in TypeScript, hot-reload
What Cohere does

Six core capabilities. One canvas.

Each capability is good enough on its own to replace a tool you already pay for. Together, they collapse the tool-switching tax most product teams pay every day.

Vector design

Components, variables, prototyping, animation. Imports from Figma + Sketch losslessly.

Rich docs

Embed designs, prototypes, video, code, polls. Cleaner than Notion for product specs.

Infinite whiteboards

Brainstorms, system diagrams, retros, planning. 24 frame templates built in.

Comments + threads

Threaded comments, @mentions. Comment → Linear/GitHub/Jira in one click.

Branching + history

1-click branch from any point. Diff view. Merge with conflict resolution.

Plugins + API

TypeScript Plugin SDK. REST + WebSocket APIs. 240+ community plugins.

Multiplayer + remote-first

Built for the team that’s actually distributed.

Voice + video are part of the canvas — not a separate Zoom link. Follow-cursor mode for screen-share-style walkthroughs. Smooth on bad WiFi because we test that way.

  • Voice + video in the canvas
    Up to 50 participants. No separate Zoom link. Adaptive video stays smooth even when the canvas is intensive.
  • Follow-cursor mode
    One person leads the session; everyone follows. Cleanest design-review pattern we’ve found in five years of multiplayer work.
  • Offline-resilient
    Local CRDT sync queues changes when you lose connection. Conflict-free merges when it returns. Tested on 3G regularly.

Faster review cycles
Replaced Figma + Miro + Notion with one tool. Reviews went from 3 days to same-day. The handoff specs are cleaner than what we got out of Figma.

Full-org migration
Onboarded our entire 240-person product org in 6 weeks. The whiteboard mode alone justified the switch. Multiplayer feels native, not bolted on.

From holdout to advocate
I was the holdout designer who wanted to keep Figma. Two weeks in, I prefer Cohere. Reviews + prototypes + docs in one place is a step-change.
