Answer formats

The AI picks the shape from the question, so you rarely have to say. Asking for “a deck”, “a diagram” or “on a map” makes it certain. Each sheet shows its format next to its title.

Document

The default for a question whose answer is words: an explanation, a report, a comparison, a how-to. Written in markdown and set as a readable page about 680 pixels wide, with real headings, lists, tables and code.

Card

A compact designed sheet for one idea: a fact, a stat, a short summary. Between 320 and 560 pixels wide.

Slide

Exactly 1280 by 720, 16 by 9, with large type. A deck is one sheet per slide. About six short bullets fit, and more goes onto the next slide rather than shrinking.

Diagram

A process, a hierarchy or a system, drawn as a labelled SVG sized to fit the drawing.

Page

A landing page, an app screen or a dashboard, laid out as a real page about 1280 wide.

Map

Places and routes on a real map. Each place is a numbered pin with its name and a note; click a pin for the whole note.

Words are cheap: a plain question is answered as a document, written in markdown, which costs a fraction of a designed page. A designed sheet is used only where layout carries meaning: slides for a talk, a diagram for a process, a page for a mockup, a card or document with panels and stats for a designed summary. Anything about where things are becomes a map.

For common patterns such as a flowchart step, a kanban column, a SWOT or a timeline, it first looks in the component library and puts down a ready-made piece, then fills in its words. That is quicker and cheaper than drawing it from nothing, and the pieces are ordinary notes, shapes and sheets you can edit.

A map holds up to 60 places and 12 routes. It fills its sheet edge to edge; zoom it with its own buttons or a double-click, while the mouse wheel keeps moving the board. The places are kept inside the sheet as data, so “add the airport” or “move pin 3” changes the map in place.

Documents, cards, pages and diagrams grow to fit their content once they render, so they never cut off. Slides and maps keep their size. Resize any sheet by its handles; the AI can also resize and rearrange when you ask it to lay things out.

Every sheet is HTML underneath. Double-click one to interact with it, pick one part of it to change (see Change one part of a sheet), and export it as a picture, a web page, text, PDF or PowerPoint (see Export and save).

Sheets run in a sealed frame: they cannot reach your account, the board page or the network, apart from fonts, a few script libraries such as charting, and map tiles.
