Winy vs a whiteboard

A whiteboard is the best wall to think on, until someone erases it; Winy keeps the board, and puts your agents on it.

A whiteboard is a glossy wall surface you write on with dry-erase markers, and it is still the quickest way for a room of people to sketch an idea together.

Winy is a native app for Mac, iPad and iPhone with an infinite board for Pencil ink, notes, images, arrows, live terminals, web pages and agents.

The difference is what lasts: a whiteboard is wiped for the next meeting, while a Winy board keeps everything where you put it, and your agents can read what you drew.

Which one is for you

Choose a whiteboard if

You are sketching with a group in the same room, all holding markers at once.
You want something big, instant and physical, with no device and no login.
The sketch only needs to last for the meeting.

Choose Winy if

You want the board to still be there tomorrow, exactly as you left it.
You run out of wall, and want a board that keeps going when you pan.
You want the terminals, pages and agents doing the work on the same board as the sketch.
You want your agents to see your diagrams, so you can point at what you mean instead of typing it out.

Questions

Is a digital whiteboard better than a real whiteboard?

Each wins somewhere. A real whiteboard is big, instant and great for a group in one room. A digital board like Winy is infinite, keeps everything, and lets you rearrange what you drew.

Can several people draw on a Winy board at once?

Not today. Winy has no multiplayer yet, so for a group sketching together in a room, a real whiteboard is the better tool.

Can AI agents see what I draw in Winy?

Yes. Notes, ink, images and arrows sit on the same board as your agents, and all of it is visible to them.

Is Winy an operating system?

No. Winy is an app for macOS, iPadOS and iOS that becomes the place you work, with your sketches, notes, terminals, web pages and agents on one board.

Is Winy available now?

Winy is in early access. You can join the waitlist on winy.ai.
