FREEHAND AI: THE NEXT STEP FORWARD FOR THE INTELLIGENT CANVAS

Kosta Bolgov

At InVision we’re obsessed with improving team productivity. With the
introduction of the Intelligent Canvas, Freehand unlocked a new level of
productivity through Smart Workflows. This game-changing set of capabilities
bridges the gap between unstructured and structured work, adds intelligence and
automation for each step, and strengthens connections with functional tools
through bi-directional integrations. Every aspect of Freehand is geared towards
reducing hurdles to bring teams closer together, and deliver maximum impact by
focusing on getting real work done.

Because of this focus, we’ve been keenly observing how AI and the recent
innovations of Generative AI have the potential to significantly unlock
productivity and fundamentally change how teams work. Freehand is now ready to
take the next leap, leveraging the massive opportunity AI presents to help make
every team member even more productive.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of Freehand AI. Built into the
fabric of the intelligent canvas, we believe Freehand AI takes a major step
forward by not just smoothing out team workflows, but drastically reducing major
steps in process, and maximizing the return on your collaboration tooling
investment.


UNLOCK PRODUCTIVITY FOR THE WHOLE TEAM



Freehand AI can supercharge any of our Smart Workflows. Teams can save valuable
days and weeks that would have otherwise been spent on synthesis, produce more
thorough content, and reduce human error and bias that can creep into work on
the canvas. Various InVision-made, AI-enabled templates are available to inspire
teams around the activities and workflows where Freehand AI is best used. You
can also add Freehand AI capabilities to any custom templates your team creates,
allowing workflow owners to scalably deploy AI in a consistent way, producing
more efficient processes for their team.


GO FROM MESSY TO STRUCTURED IN SECONDS

Think of the last time you had a workshop and how many hours it took to organize
all of your team’s feedback. It can take several hours, days, even weeks to
read, understand, identify patterns, and ultimately author actionable synthesis.
When looking at your entire organization, this time costs an astounding amount.

With Freehand AI, you can go from messy to structured in seconds. For example,
you can take hundreds of stickies from a workshop and use Freehand AI to cluster
them by sentiment, putting them into a format that is easy to scan and lets your
team more clearly see patterns and gain understanding efficiently. From there
it’s easy to highlight all of the stickies and use Freehand AI to write a
summary that can be shared with your stakeholders, another task that done
manually might take hours, and could easily be error prone. Let Freehand AI do
the heavy lifting, and spend time on refinement.

It’s amazing that analysis and synthesis that previously might have taken hours
or days can now be completed in under a minute, a truly mind-blowing level of
productivity gain that is a uniquely great fit for the unstructured work that
happens on the canvas.


GENERATE CONTENT TO GET TO A SOLUTION FASTER

What really takes this to the next level is how Freehand AI can generate new
content – accelerating work, eliminating writer’s block, and getting to
solutions faster.

Building on smart workflows introduced as a part of the Intelligent Canvas,
teams can now work more efficiently and spend their effort on refinement and
iterations, rather than the initial zero to one effort.

For example, during a project kickoff, cross-functional teams gather to
understand problems to solve and collaborate on various requirements and
constraints. Inevitably, these get distilled into a briefing document. Freehand
AI can transform all the sticky notes used during the kickoff into a long-form
document, complete with an objective, hypothesis, and success measurement.
Getting to a starting point with the diverse inputs of stakeholders incorporated
has never been faster and the saved time can be invested in refining the draft.


TURN INSIGHTS INTO ACTION

If you’ve just completed a round of research, you’re likely left with dozens of
insights and ideas. Next is the often daunting task of synthesizing those sticky
notes into jobs to be done that your team can begin executing on.

Using the new Freehand AI-enabled research synthesis template, you can generate
top themes and a written synthesis that informs next steps. Once the problems
are well understood, next you might be ready to brainstorm. The Freehand AI
smart object can take dozens of stickies with raw feedback and translate them
into tasks on a kanban board that your team can easily digest, make updates to,
and begin executing on, right away. Because the tasks are right on the canvas on
a kanban board, assigning owners and estimating effort is simple with a drag and
drop. No other tool makes this process as streamlined and intuitive – what you
can do using Freehand’s Intelligent Canvas, now with Freehand AI, is absolutely
groundbreaking.


THE FUTURE OF WORK: AI-ENABLED CANVAS

Cross-functional work is at the core of what drives the most impactful business
outcomes. The launch of Freehand’s Intelligent Canvas marked our major
investment in the future of visual collaboration as the center of workplace
productivity. AI adds even more intelligence and automation to the canvas to
make teams more productive. The impact on productivity can be especially large
when AI is applied to areas where unstructured work with a high volume of
diverse inputs happens and needs to be actioned, making it a perfect fit for
Freehand’s Intelligent Canvas.

But this is still just the beginning. With the rapid advancements in generative
AI, we believe there is even more potential to deeply transform how teams work,
not only becoming a pervasive capability in nearly every product, but also
accelerating development of the products themselves. There will be less
dependencies on workarounds or solutions that are “good enough” – this
acceleration will unlock workflows that are truly bespoke and highly optimized
for use cases that previously received little attention or were highly manual.

With InVision as a thoughtful partner to help your organization deploy AI and
smart workflows, Freehand will be there to make your teams more productive and
increase the ROI of your collaboration tooling. And the best part? Freehand AI
is Enterprise ready. Our approach, which uses a Freehand AI smart object that
can be configured and deployed into a custom template, means you can drive
consistency of usage. You don’t need to be good at writing prompts to benefit
from AI; it can be as easy as writing down thoughts on a topic and Freehand AI
can do the rest for you, making it accessible and inclusive for all. Freehand
also has the ability to add your own open AI key to incorporate AI your team is
already actively using. And if your team isn’t ready for this new functionality
yet, access is admin controlled, so you can easily ensure it’s turned off for
the whole team by managing their integrations.


TRY FREEHAND AI (BETA) TODAY

Starting today, Freehand AI (Beta) is available across all Free and Pro plans.
With the incredible capabilities of the Intelligent Canvas, now including
Freehand AI, and at half the cost of Miro and Mural, there has never been a
better time to improve your team’s productivity, do more on the canvas than you
ever have before, and improve your end-to-end workflows with Freehand.

At launch, the following Freehand AI usage limits are in place based on your
plan:

 * Accounts on a Free plan receive 10 Freehand AI responses for the lifetime of
   the account. Once that limit is reached, upgrade to a paid plan for more
   responses.
 * Accounts on a Pro plan receive 10 responses per user per month.
 * Accounts on an Enterprise plan receive 20 responses per user per month. Using
   your own Open AI key, as mentioned above, allows for more interactions.

These usage caps are in place while we test out the limits of this new
technology to ensure the smoothest experience possible for everyone, and are
subject to change over time.

To get you started, try one of these AI-enabled templates today:

 * Product brief
