In plain words

Kanwas is an open-source shared context board designed for teams and AI agents to collaborate. It provides a central platform where team members and agents can view and contribute to shared information and context. Built as an open-source tool, it's accessible via GitHub and targets development teams looking for transparent, collaborative workspace solutions. The tool enables better coordination between human team members and AI agents working on common projects.

From the sources

Kanwas is a multiplayer workspace for AI work. Teams and an AI agent share the same documents, evidence, and decisions, with the agent's tool calls streaming into the same timeline everyone sees. git clone https://github.com/kanwas-ai/kanwas.git cd kanwas # Env files — fill in API keys, APP_KEY, etc. cp .env.example .env cp backend/.env.example backend/.env cp yjs-server/.env.example yjs-server/.env cp frontend/.env.example frontend/.env docker-compose --profile app up Open http://localhost:5173 and you're in. For local development (hot reload, running services with pnpm dev ) and the architectural walkthrough, see docs/SYSTEM_OVERVIEW.mdfrom github.com
