What illumi is

A whiteboard with AI that reads what is already on it. Teams brainstorm, arrange and refine on an infinite canvas, and the assistant works from that context rather than from a blank prompt.

It suits workshops and early project shaping.

What you can do with it

Brainstorm on a shared canvas
Get AI help based on board content
Break requirements into structure
Organise meeting output
Work with several models
Prepare proposal material

Who it is for

Product and design teams
Consultants running workshops
Research teams
Cross-functional project teams

What to watch out for

Model output, permissions and sensitive content all need managing
Board content can accumulate without structure, so someone should own it
Generated material is a draft for refinement, not a deliverable
Check what data leaves the workspace when models are called

FAQ

Is it a documentation tool?

It is closer to a visual workspace for organising and exploring. Formal archiving belongs elsewhere.

What is the canvas for?

Projects with several sources needing side-by-side comparison and expansion.

What should I check before use?

Model behaviour, team permissions and what sensitive information is being put on the board.
