A common problem for teams now working alongside AI coding agents is that context is scattered — some of it lives in Claude chat history, some in a local folder, some in Obsidian, some in Git commit messages — so neither a new teammate nor an AI agent starting a task has the full picture. Kanwas is built to be the one place that context accumulates instead, a canvas both humans and AI agents read from and write to as work happens. Kanwas is an open-source (Apache 2.0) canvas-based workspace supporting code, docs, tasks, embeds and iframes, built around a "context graph" that compounds team knowledge over time, with an AI agent layer supporting multiple models (Claude, GPT, Gemini), real-time collaboration with granular permissions, Git-backed markdown files with full version history (no vendor lock-in), 1000+ integrations, a CLI tool, and transparent logging of what the AI agent did and why. It launched on Product Hunt in May 2026 ranking #1 for the day, has 742 GitHub stars and 105 forks, is used by teams at Veed, Wix, Softpay, TheFork, Grammarly and Quanos, and its founder credits it with helping close a €4.6M pre-seed round.
