Athena Canvas for Collaborative Brainstorming - Athena Intelligence

A canvas is a shared whiteboard in Olympus for planning, diagrams, and brainstorming with your team and Athena.

Key Features

Real-Time Collaboration

You can join and contribute with your team members simultaneously, ensuring every idea is captured as it happens. Multiple team members can work on the same canvas in real-time, with changes visible instantly to all participants.

Use canvases with other assets

Each canvas is saved as a workspace asset. Reference it in documents or ask Athena to use it as context.

AI-Assisted Brainstorming

Leverage Athena’s AI capabilities directly within your canvas to generate ideas, organize thoughts, and create structured plans from freeform brainstorming. Athena can help expand on concepts, suggest connections between ideas, and transform canvas content into actionable documents or workflows.

Turn a Mermaid diagram into editable shapes

Find a rendered Mermaid diagram in a document or chat response.
Select Open in canvas on the diagram.
Wait for the new canvas to open, then move or edit its shapes.

This creates a separate canvas; it does not update the original Mermaid source. You need permission to create canvases. The action is unavailable in embedded views, and diagrams that cannot be converted show an error.
