AI summary

Transcripts, survey exports, screenshots, and notes live in different tools. By the time you synthesize, tab fatigue has already lost you half your evidence.
Drag any image, PDF, or video from your computer and it lands as a card instantly, with no upload dialogs. Add note cards, paste source links, and embed walkthrough videos.
The canvas never runs out of room and has no object limit, even on the Free plan. Nothing hides in a folder, so patterns surface as soon as the evidence sits side by side.

Every observation is a card, so clustering is just dragging. Group quotes by pain point, arrange screenshots by journey stage, and use columns to sort by severity or frequency.
Bring a proven research framework onto the board as a Tactic or Blueprint. Your synthesis gets a backbone instead of starting from nothing.
Unlike a physical wall, the evidence stays linked. Open any theme cluster and the exact quotes, frames, and notes that support it are right there to point at.

Screenshot a frame directly from a YouTube or Vimeo video onto the canvas, a capability most research tools simply do not have. Show people what you saw.
Place the recorded moment next to your interpretation and the participant quote. Make each usability issue a frame, a label, and a recommendation, all visible together.
For desk research, the AI assistant runs a web search and surfaces sources inside the chat. Verify a stat, then pull the relevant card onto the board yourself.

The AI assistant reads your active board and generates a starting board from a prompt, note, or PDF. A research plan, interview guide, or synthesis kanban appears in seconds.
Ground the draft by @-mentioning one Blueprint or Tactic and up to three Documents. It hands you a structured draft to shape, so the analysis stays yours.
Sharing and inviting is free. Send stakeholders a link to the live board instead of a flat slide. Need real-time co-editing? Live multi-editor presence is on Max.
Keep every source, theme, and finding on one infinite canvas, so your whole study stays visible instead of scattered across folders and tabs.
Your interviews, papers, datasets, and field notes all live on one infinite canvas. No object limit and no time limit, so a long study never outgrows the board.
Drag a PDF, screenshot, or recording straight from your computer and it lands as a card. No upload dialog, so capturing a new source never breaks your flow.
The AI assistant turns a prompt or a pasted note or PDF into a starting board. You get a structured first pass to refine, not hours spent staring at a blank canvas.
On your active board you can @-mention a Blueprint or Tactic and up to three Documents. The assistant reads your real materials, so suggestions stay tied to your study.
Inviting co-authors and advisors to your board costs nothing on the Free plan. Live multi-editor presence is available on Max when your team works at the same time.
@-mention a document so the AI reasons from your actual evidence, keeping its answers anchored to what you have read and gathered.
I want to:
The Brand Strategy template is a ready-made Storyflow board that lays out the core decisions behind a brand (mission, positioning, audience, voice, and visual direction) so a team can see and shape them in one place.

Research involves sensitive participant data, unpublished findings, and material you are not ready to make public. Storyflow keeps your boards private to you until you choose to share them, and gives you control over who can see each one.
Boards are private by default and visible only to you until you share them
Sharing and inviting is opt-in, so participant quotes and findings stay contained until you send a link
You control access per board, so a stakeholder sees only what you hand them
Files you drag onto the canvas live in your workspace, not scattered across third-party tools
No object limit and no time limit on the Free plan, so you are never pressured to offload or delete research
Start in the browser with no credit card required, so you can evaluate it without committing sensitive data
