Excaliself turns the Excalidraw canvas into your team's own whiteboard server, where every sketch, diagram, and flowchart lives in your database instead of a vendor's cloud. The home screen works like a file cabinet for drawings: nest them in folders, star the keepers, drag files between spaces, and find anything again by title or by the text inside the drawing. Share a link and teammates edit together in real time with live cursors and follow mode; links can stay members-only or open to guests who have no account at all. A shared Team space sits next to everyone's private space, and one team library holds the shapes and icons the whole group reuses. AI clients can join with a personal access token: Claude Code or Claude Desktop can search your drawings, read what a diagram says, and create new ones from shapes or a Mermaid flowchart. Accounts are invite-only, single sign-on covers Google, Microsoft, and any OIDC provider, and admins manage members, roles, and password resets from Settings. Deleted drawings rest in a trash folder for thirty days before they are purged, and everything auto-saves as you draw.

Type a sentence like 'draw a seaside lighthouse under moonlight, with a small sailboat and stars' and Draw Agent Studio sketches it on a live canvas you can then keep editing by chat. Follow-up messages move objects, change colors, delete elements, and undo or redo steps, so refining a diagram becomes a conversation instead of a wrestling match with shape handles. The same canvas accepts direct manual work: select and drag shapes, draw freehand with the pen, or drop text onto the page to finish details the model missed. Researchers and writers use it to build flowcharts from a paragraph of method notes, grouping stages, adding quality checks and feedback loops, and restructuring sections on request. Canvases save automatically as you work, and finished pieces export as PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG images, or as editable Excalidraw files for further hand editing elsewhere. You bring your own model connection, choosing OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Azure OpenAI, Ark, DeepSeek, Kimi, Groq, OpenRouter, Bedrock, Vertex AI, or a local Ollama or OpenAI-compatible endpoint. A built-in connection test sends a real image and verifies recognition and tool calling before you save, and your API keys stay encrypted on the server rather than in the browser.
