Three modes.
Zero tab-switching.

Design

The vector tool, with the modern affordances.

Vector design with components, variables, prototyping, and import from Figma + Sketch. Most designers are productive within their first session.

  • Vector + components + variables
    Pixel-perfect vector design. Components with overrides + variants. Variables 2.0 with multi-mode + computed values.
  • Prototyping that runs everywhere
    Click-through prototypes embed in docs + share via link. Component-level interactions. Test on actual devices via the Cohere mobile preview app.
  • Imports from Figma + Sketch · lossless
    High-fidelity import preserves layers, components, interactions, even Auto-Layout. Most teams report 95-100% fidelity on first import.

Docs

Docs that embed the design files they describe.

Rich docs with embedded designs, prototypes, code, polls, and math. Cleaner than Notion for product specs; faster than Google Docs for collaborative editing.

  • Embed designs + prototypes inline
    Drop a frame from your design file directly into a doc. Updates flow through automatically. The PRD always shows the latest design.
  • Code blocks, tables, polls, math
    Syntax-highlighted code blocks. Editable tables with formulas. Inline polls for async decisions. LaTeX math for technical specs.
  • Markdown + Notion import
    Markdown native. Notion import covers ~90% of common blocks. Migrate the docs that matter; leave the rest where they are.

Whiteboards

Whiteboards that don’t freeze on iPad.

Infinite-canvas whiteboards with frame templates for the rituals you already run. Voice + video are built into the canvas — no separate Zoom link required.

  • Infinite canvas, smooth on mobile
    Pan, zoom, and ink without the lag. Test on a 5-year-old iPad and it’ll still feel responsive — that’s the engineering bar.
  • 24 frame templates · sprint planning, retros, story mapping
    Sprint planning, retros, RICE prioritization, story mapping, journey mapping, system diagrams. Customizable; share within the org.
  • Voice + video built in
    Run a remote whiteboard session without a separate Zoom link. Voice + video are part of the canvas, with follow-cursor mode for screen-share-style walkthroughs.

Feature depth

The capability matrix

Cohere is built to be the consolidation play, not the also-ran. Below is the feature depth across each canvas mode.

Auto-layout

Direction, gap, padding, distribution. Sane defaults; behaves predictably across nested components.

Components + variants

Component sets with named variants. Override at any level. Boolean, instance, and text-string overrides.

Variables 2.0

Multi-mode, computed expressions, scoped to file/page/frame. Migrate any frame between modes in one click.

Plugins + API

TypeScript plugin SDK. REST + WebSocket APIs. Webhook into your design-system or CI/CD pipeline.

Branching + version history

1-click branch from any point in history. Diff view. Merge with conflict resolution. 90-day history on Team, unlimited on Organization.

Design tokens + system management

Token sync to your code (CSS variables, iOS, Android). Auto-published design system docs. Usage analytics across the org.

Comments + threads

Threaded comments with @mentions, resolution, and Slack/email digests. Convert any comment into a Linear/GitHub/Jira ticket.

Handoff + dev specs

Auto-generated CSS, iOS (Swift), Android (Compose), React Native specs. Asset export with naming convention enforcement.

Integrations

Plugs into the tools your team already uses

200+ pre-built integrations + the open Plugin SDK for everything else. Cohere doesn’t want to be your single tool — it wants to be the one canvas the others connect to.

Replaced 3
Cohere replaced our Figma + Miro + Notion stack. The reviews thread is the killer feature — designers, PMs, and devs are commenting on the same canvas, not in separate Slack channels.

Saved on tool-switching
We measured tool-switching for two weeks before and after. The team got back about 12 hours per week per designer. That’s an extra two designers’ worth of capacity.
